Came here for a group dinner. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. Service was friendly and prompt. They offered helpful suggestions of some of their nice dishes. They said they had New Year (soup) dumplings. Sounded good so we ordered that. Very nice indeed.Their appetizer dish 小魚花生 Peanuts with Dried Anchovy is great (with scallion). Their salt / pepper prawn (shell on) is still great as usual.

One of my favorite places! I love coming here for lunch, but it's a yearly Christmas eve favorite. The service is always fast and the staff is always friendly! I love the unlimited tea!This place gets pretty busy but it's very old school/ traditional. My family loves the dry pepper chicken. Please be prepared for the HEAT! That thing is spicy!The salt and pepper shrimp is delicious. And we always get fried rice and lo mein!

This was one of my favorite spots when I used to live in DC, so when I came back for a business trip, I had to get it. It's so hard to choose between the spicy fish fillets, the mapo tofu, the tea smoked duck, and the cold spicy chicken, but they are all great! I ended up getting the tea smoked duck and it was just as good as I remember!Tea Smoked Duck - This is probably my favorite menu item, though the other dishes I named are also extremely delicious. This duck comes battered and crispy with a nice smoky flavor and just the right amount of fat on each piece. Did I mention that it's also entirely boneless? It's so good - you take a piece of the juicy and crispy smoky duck and add some green onions, hoisin sauce, and wrap it in a nice fluffy bun and it's utter perfection. I will continue to come back here time and time again when I'm in DC!I did takeout so I didn't experience a ton of the service/ambiance, but when I used to live in DC, the waiters remembered me as a regular and I'd get extra buns free of charge with the tea smoked duck. It's been a while so they didn't remember me this time, but I always loved eating in!

The Crispy Duck was super flavorful i think it was brined over night with spices and herbs, it was super crispy and so delicious the sauce was not needed. The Beans Steamed Fish was funky in the best way possible due to the Fermented beans but the flavors were intense and spicy but not unbearable spicy. The fish was tender, flaky; and fresh!

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city! I have been coming for years, the service is fast, the food is hot, delicious, and keeps me coming back! The Mao Pao tofu is amazing, I love the hot dry pepper chicken. The staff are very attentive. The inside feels welcoming and cozy like a true family establishment. This is my go to Chinese place in the city! I always take out of towners here too! I highly recommend you check out Sichuan Pavilion!

Favorite restaurant in DC for authentic, home style Chinese food. My favorite dishes are the ma po tofu and beef with spicy green peppers. Warning that both of these are pretty spicy. It can get pretty busy during dinner time and on weekends but it's worth the wait. Love the vibe in the restaurant as well.

I've been to this spot twice now, and both times the food has been outstanding. It's a great value for the quality you get. Every time I've visited, there's been a line out the door, which is always a good sign of a popular and well-loved restaurant. Whether you're grabbing takeout, going on a date, or having a work lunch, this place works for every occasion. Definitely one of my favorites in DC! Plus, if you're into celebrity sightings, word is that a few well-known politicians frequent here.

Food is normal, not bad but also not surprising. Menu contains a lot of choices but many them are Americanized Chinese food, which is not authentic.

They were very unprofessional.. they offered a discount if we paid cash .. which we did not ask for but said sure ..but then tried to strong arm us that our tip was not enough .. the waitress was rude and counted cash at our table .. said it was not enough of a tip at 12% She did not wash her hands after rudely counting out bills touching money .. went on serving others with out cleaning her hands ... I would not recommend this place to anyone .. !!!They are rude the food was not under par and the staff is unprofessional and even rude!

The service staff here is very unprofessional. After we left a cash tip, she immediately stopped serving us and started counting the money. She even asked for more tips. After counting the money, she didn't wash her hands and continued to serve food, which was really disgusting.
