Fu Kang Carryout

Chuck... that's the owners name, everyone who came in knew his name. Parking wasn't an issue at 3ish. Cute little carry out. Stopped here because of the ratings and the cleanliness ratings on Yelp.I met a few Neighborhood patrons. I love DC. I love the culture. I used to live in DC but it seems as though my Texas accent is making me stick out like a sore thumb but the DMV is home. So many regulars come in and you know that it has to be a good little spot. We got the cheese steak, it came with American cheese not the white cheese... we got the beef and broccoli and also the orange chicken.I wouldn't give it 5 stars but definitely worthy of 4 stars. Customer service was great even though he had so many customers in and out who had called in orders. There are lots of carry outs off of this street so I'll know soon which is best!

This spot here is my whole childhood, grew up eating from here and man, the food, ESPECIALLY the steak n cheese is great! Chuck and his wife are very friendly people and I love them so much. It's a cash only spot so keep that in mind when visiting. Also, I'd recommend getting a Mix to drink, you'll thank me haha.

This is a hidden jewel in all the chinese restaurants DC has to offer. Simply: $5 for a lunch special which is BIG, TASTY and CHEAP! I can't find any other place that can offer good food at this price. The chinese guy in the cashier is very friendly, although they hid behind reinforced glass (You know, RIA is not the safest place in DC). I always try any new chinese restaurant by buying their Moo Goo Gai Pan, and for God's sake, it's a blessing! Good amount of chicken, perfect steamed white rice and for just 5 bucks! I can't ask for anything else.Just try it! You will NOT regret!

Wow...the food here was fukang great!!Just fukang great!!!Sorry, I couldn't resist.Actually, it was pretty good...When I stumbled upon Fu Kang's storefront, as I wandered north along Rhode Island Ave., I was hungry and needed something quick to eat; and, their name caught my eye. Wouldn't it have caught yours too?At first, I didn't know what to order. Should I order one of their Chinese-American offerings? But, gosh, that seemed a risky option. I didn't want to end up with something cloyingly sweet, bathed in a neon-colored sauce, or something otherwise dominated by broccoli or gratuitous celery.So, I opted for one of the various seafood specials that they had posted on the walls...the generic fried fish platter. This deal consisted of three pieces of fried fish with a side of fries. From what I could tell, the fish was either trout or some other kind of white fish (like tilapia). Although it had a somewhat juvenile appearance with a grainy breadcrumb exterior (which looked, at first glance, like something out of the frozen foods aisle), the fish was, actually, battered in-house and surprisingly good. The batter was not obnoxiously thick or bread-y but sand paper-y and crispy; and, the flesh was light, moist, and flaky. The one-two punch of an inviting crunch and a tasty interior complemented each other well and (combined with very passable fries, which, albeit, included a few limp members) delivered, in the end, an honestly satisfying meal.The three large pieces were more than filling (as each piece was plump and generous); and, it was a fabulous deal at a mere $5.45. Now, don't get me wrong and accuse me of inordinately hyping up the food. Fu Kang does not represent destination dining by any means. And, no, there has not been any paradigm shift; nor, have I found some kind of "missing link" that might render our present understanding of fried fish obsolete. Let's not get carried away. Unless Anthony Bourdain, for some God forsaken reason, pays a visit and sings its praises, nobody is going to care much about Fu Kang one way or the other (except the loyal locals who trickled in when I was there).But, make no mistake about it. The fried fish at Fu Kang is pretty good (for what it is). Yes, I would prefer it over the overly priced catfish at Oohh's & Aahh's and the underwhelming whiting at Horace & Dickie's any day.So, by all means, go!! And, have a fukang great time!!!

I ate Fu Kang growing up in DC. I have not been in 15+ years. Its still just as good.

I ran across this carryout going to a neighboring business, and just decided to grab a quick bite to eat. I ordered Shrimp fried rice, chicken wings and fries. Everything was delicious! I'm really picky when it comes to my rice and they made it the way I love it!! Needless to say... it's my new favorite carryout spot

Fu Kang scary place to be at night.If you're hungry, and it's late, and you're in this neighborhood, and you have special ops training, and you're packing... This is the place for you.

Fu Kang rocks!!! Chinese and American food whatever you like, they have on the menu. If its not on the menu ask, they may still be able to whip it up, lol. They even make collards and they're good, who'd a thunk it.I have been going since the 90's same mgmt. The people are nice and friendly.

The food is not inviting and bland in taste. I ordered two basic entres from the menu- shrimp fried rice and peppered steak. The shrimp fried rice had more than enough rice -One eighth of the container contained a few shrimp the remaining 7/8ths of the container fried rice. The rice had plenty of brown color, lacked flavor, onions and eggs. The pepper steak had plenty of onions and gravy, very little peppers and steak. One had to search for the steak in the sea of gravy and onions. In general, both shrimp fried rice and peppered steak were very skimpy with respect to the main ingredients-shrimp and steak. The wait for the order was the best take away. The carry out needs a face lift to make it more inviting. The Carryout is along a strip of other small food business and vacant storefront buildings.The kicker is the business does not take credit cards- accepts cash only. What a bummer! The food is so bad the business only accepts cash.

A bomb lunch special and good food. But a few times the dropped the ball and gave the wrong order and sometimes just didn't properly cook the food but a great spot to a some good food fast!!! But if they would stay open later i would most def call in for some more food i love a late night treat.... You know those night when drunk and dont want to cook o yea!!!
