Cafe Trung Nguyen truly impressed us with their mouthwatering pork and chicken grilled skewers at our company meeting! The flavors were so irresistible that not a single skewer remained. The owner and staff exhibited exceptional reliability and efficiency in fulfilling our catering needs. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to savor their authentic cuisine firsthand!

This is a good place to pick up some tasty ready made food so you can go home and have an authentic Vietnamese dinner.

First time trying the Peking duck here and it was great. I like that it’s already prepped so the duck came out very quickly. Szechuan beef was good, but a little too sweet. I enjoyed all the food, but I’d stick to the Peking duck and other more traditional dishes. The staff is great and the restaurant is very clean.

Taste : 4.3/5 Environment: 4.2/5 Service：4.3/5 If you're in DC and love Chinese food, Pecking Duck Inn seems like a must-visit. The fact that it's popular with celebrities is such a fun bonus—imagine running into someone famous while enjoying your meal! The grilled duck slicing show is unique experience, and it's great that they offer different styles of duck cuisine. Plus, family-style portions that are generous. Perfect for sharing with friends or family. Definitely adding this to my list! 🦆🍴

Down and dirty hole-in-the-wall, delicious American Chinese carry-out set back far from the street - definitely a destination location spot. Keeping the overhead low and prices reasonable. Staffed by genuinely friendly employees. I have been here twice: first for sweet and sour soup with egg rolls, and the second visit for spicy orange chicken, and they delivered the heat. Loved it. I’ll be back.

Solid neighborhood place is a good choice for a low-hassle Chinese meal. They have the usual basics but also some dishes that are a little more interesting: mapo tofu, chow fun noodles, Taiwanese rice noodles, and a few others. It's worth an order if you know what to expect, and we've ordered from there twice now.

We ordered Szechuan beef, general taos chicken, eggs rolls, pork fried rice, and scallion pancakes. Overall not impressed by the flavors of anything. Egg roll was soggy and not fully cooked.

Mom and pop local Chinese restaurant. Name of the restaurant is a misnomer -- the neon sign in Chinese translates to "Chengdu Restaurant". This restaurant serves predominantly Sichuanese (aka spicy) food. As in traditional Chinese restaurants, there's the English menu and Chinese menu. We ordered from both -- but the really good items are written in Chinese. Google Lens won't necessarily help you since the handwritten signs aren't the clearest (or maybe my camera lens was dirty). Food served was excellent -- you need to order white rice since the food is spicy and salty (compared to home cooking). Atmosphere gets dinged 1 star since the place is smaller, and Asian people speak loudly, hurting the dining ambiance (to me, at least). If you want authentic Sichuanese food in the Arlington area, this is the place to go. I would go back again and try other things on the Chinese menu.

We have enjoyed dining here on several occasions. While it may not be the best Cantonese-style cuisine we've encountered, we have consistently found it to be a satisfying experience. During our most recent visit for dim sum, we were pleased to see that each dish was freshly prepared and served warm, and the staff was prompt in bringing out the food. We have had varied experiences at other dim sum establishments, where service could be improved, and food was sometimes served cold. Overall, our experience here has been quite positive.

12/31/24 New Year’s Eve with family and our first time at Mark’s Duck House in Annandale Va. my family and I love Chinese food and we traveled 1 hour 15 minutes in pouring rain on New Years Eve to try this restaurant it was GREAT did not disappoint! Not a glamour place set in a small shopping center but very clean to start off with. We were seated by friendly gentleman even though we were early for our reservation and given a large table like we asked for because we wanted to try lots of dishes. Not a problem. Our waiter, Kenny was wonderful he explained different dim sum options to my sons and was always cheerful and attentive. The appetizers fried wontons, hot and sour soup and shrimp balls and fried dumplings were perfectly. Not blah pot stickers. When the main courses arrived we’re talking large, very large portions! Not complaining loved it. Hands down the best Peking Duck we ever had, large portion, tender and flavorful and we have tried several local Va. restaurants. Large pieces of chicken in a nicely sweet sweet and sour sauce with pineapples. The beef and vegetable dish had large pieces of tender beef along with lots of veggies and pineapples in a tangy sauce. My fav was the eggplant although it wasn’t on the menu as such I asked for eggplant in garlic sauce not spicey (not fried) huge plate came and I shared although I didn’t want to! Fried rice with chicken was hit as well and did I mention Saki and hot tea went along with dinner as well. This place was fantastic from our greeting at entry to our waiter to the exceptional food we will be back. People if you are looking for great Chinese food give Mark’s Duck House a try I promise you will be back. And if that doesn’t temp your taste buds theirs a reason the locals filled the restaurant on New Years Eve. Thanks for a great start to 2025 to everyone who made our family event perfect.

we went on Saturday. The place is huge and it is the biggest buffet I have ever seen. wide variety of food, Chinese Indian Pakistani, and even Middle Eastern. I was surprised you can spend all time tasting the appetizers only great appetizers for their own they can make a buffet the food quality is OK giving the wide variety of items there. The tea is delicious. I enjoyed it however, I wish they will make the Nan bread fresh and increase the air inside because when it got crowded, it was it was so hot. As a Halal place I eat all the items and I'm feeling comfortable. There are places for prayer too. Of course, a great value for the price.

A good place for anyone looking for a halal buffet with a variety of options available. The spread of the buffet is great with food from different continents under one roof. Asian, India, Pakistani, Mediterranean options for different palates. The selection of the appetizers was great with some good samosas, different kind of pakoras, spring roll, fries, etc. Everything was fresh, hot and flavorful. There were a variety of main course items on the menu including fried rice, noodles, fried shrimp, Mongolian beef, chicken biryani, butter chicken, Haleem, beef and goat paya, and halwa puri to name a few. Everything was fresh and flavorful except the butter chicken which did not live up to the standards. Biryani was ok but not to die for. The salad bar, pani puri (which was great by the way), the desserts, had something for everyone. For the kids, they also had an option for pasta and pizza. I did not try, but according to my son who loves pasta, it had no salt and was not that great. Overall we were impressed the menu items on the menu and the quality and taste for the most part. There were a few hit or miss items but then there were other options that were great. The place looked good, looked clean and well lit but the tables could have been cleaner for sure. Some of the chairs and tables seemed a little dirty and sticky. We were lucky to have gone at an odd time and were able to look around and find a better table for ourselves. $25 for a weekend buffet seemed a little bit over priced, but that’s the time we are living in. Going on an odd time (4:30pm) probably worked in our favor. As more people started coming in, plus with a party arrival in their party hall, it started becoming a little chaotic in the food area. I can only imagine when the place is at its full capacity, it would really be hard to get in line for the food. In the end, not a bad place to go for halal buffet with some decent food. Advice, pick an odd time and not a rush hour. I would rate it 3.5/5 for cleanliness.

Their broths were very good. We had the tomato one and the spicy beef tallow one. Both were delicious and the latter wasn’t too spicy. All you can eat style here. We did the premium set with the lamb bones. There were also a large selection of seafood, vegetables, tofu, and noodles to choose from. The service was really good. We were seated immediately on a weekly evening.

Clean and nice environment. Excellent services! And they got lot of great food sections and all you can eat! They even have the Chinese beer which surprised me! Definitely be back again and highly recommended if you want a great Hot pot!

This newly opened Chinese restaurant is fantastic! The food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The soup dumplings are a must-try—some of the best I’ve had in a while. The appetizers were also impressive. As for the entrées, the stir-fried lobster with peppercorn really stood out—it was a delightful surprise! (But I think this one need to order ahead of time)

RH Bistro – Soft Opening Experience (4/11/25) I had the chance of attending the soft opening of RH Bistro, and my first impression was very positive. The ambiance is warm and stylish, exuding a welcoming yet sophisticated vibe. The dining areas are spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable seating and elegant tableware. A central bar area—though not yet operational—hints at future potential for lively gatherings. Despite being a soft opening, the restaurant was surprisingly packed, a testament to the buzz surrounding this new spot. Service, as expected during this phase, had some delays, and the waitstaff were still familiarizing themselves with the menu. That said, they were exceptionally friendly and eager to accommodate. Now, onto the food. We ordered the following dishes: - Pork Soup Dumplings - Spicy Beef and Tripe Slices - Tibetan Cumin Lamb - Kung Pao Cashew Shrimp - Tilapia Fillet with Pickled Vegetables Soup - Mushroom Fried Rice with Truffle Overall, I’d rate the food a 9/10—great for a soft opening, with room to refine a few details. Must-try dishes include the Spicy Beef and Tripe Slices, Soup Dumplings, and the Truffle Mushroom Fried Rice. The menu offers many intriguing options, and I’m already looking forward to returning to explore more. RH Bistro shows great promise—excellent food, a chic atmosphere, and attentive (if still learning) service. If this is just the beginning, I can’t wait to see how they evolve.

I would not recommend take out. Although it was prepared quickly, it was not tasty. Lemon chicken was hard and dry. Pot stickers were burned and orange chicken and general tso’s were mediocre. Quality and taste does not reflect price. We won’t be going back.

I pick up from Hunan a lot! It's fast, fresh, and still streaming when we get it home. My husband has said that the folks who work there are always very kind during pickup. Love being close by! The crispy beef and vegetable lo mein are our favorites :)

March, 2025: I lucked out with a visit on some night where corporate staff was in town (see videos). They hooked me up with a huge entree portion of orange chicken, and I’ve never seen such excellent service at any Panda in my lifetime! I’m raising my rating up to a very solid 4+ stars. October, 2022, unfortunately this location still has dated pandemic era closing hours of 9:30PM on a Friday night. The do have the infrastructure (a drive through window) to stay open later. Also, with the food, whether take out, or dining in, it just doesn’t seem as fresh and hot as other Panda locations.

Tried this location and I am tired of stale food. The noodles got dried in pan, quantity was not enough. They need to work hard or hard time is coming for them. Orange chicken was dry and pepper chicken had no flavour. There is ample parking and it’s near to a gas station. Handicap access is good.

China King Restaurant is truly the best in the area! The food is absolutely phenomenal, and the service is outstanding. The restaurant is spotless and offers a peaceful atmosphere, making it perfect for a family gathering. My personal favorites are the sweet and sour chicken and the extra-spicy Singapore noodles. They’re so delicious that I could easily enjoy them every day if I could!

They dont want to give one more hot sauce for one order. Its not even filled up. Ridiculous! I ordered 5 different items still no extra hot sauce? Thats why bo customers in the store 1 pm for lunch time.:(

My wife and I visiting relatives in DC area, found this restaurant for lunch. Very unique to this family from Florida! Because the menu was so much fun, we ordered way too much food. They had giant oysters, biggest I have ever seen. I tried steamed chicken feet and steamed beef tendon, really great flavors and texture. We ordered some shrimp and vegetables wrapped in rice paste, also steamed, never seen anything like it and very good. We had selections of steamed pork buns, cuttlefish with pickled vegetables, it goes on and on. The servers were super nice and helpful. The restaurant is very basic, but busy even at lunch. A super experience.

I wouldn’t be able to name all the dim sum dishes we got but everything tasted exceptional with the exception of the avocado/shrimp egg rolls. Much better than Mark’s Duck House.
