I ordered moo shu chicken my last order and it was HORRIBLE. the cabbage and mushrooms were swimming in some kind of liquid. I honestly feel like the dish was days old. It was the worse. I think I'll stick to wings and general's chicken. read more

Disgusting! I ordered the shrimp and broccoli and when I got home and opened it up, it stunk up the room with rotten fish smells. I threw it out and was very disappointed. read more

I ordered the shrimp and broccoli and a steak egg roll. The food seemed really, really fresh and arrived nice and hot (also quickly). I wish the food was more flavorful. It was super bland for my taste. read more

I feel really badly about dragging down the reviews, and I usually don't disagree with fellow Yelpers this much, but I was really disappointed by Asian American. Maybe Christmas night isn't the best night to order from here? Who knows. First, the website needs help. I understand they're a small Chinese food restaurant, but yikes. Order got erased after I said I wanted to proceed as guest and I got a 404 Error message nearly every time I tried to click on something. And they aren't on Stub Hub or Seamless. But let's move on. We ordered crab rangoon, general tsao's chicken, beef with broccoli, szechuan green beans and the house special fried rice. The crab rangoon was ok...wonton was a little chewy, like it had been sitting around for a while. General Tsao's was surprisingly crispy, which I appreciated, but several of the pieces were just breading, no chicken. The beef was pretty chewy given how thinly it was sliced and not terribly appetizing. The green beans were pretty excellent. They are responsible for one of the stars. The fried rice though...little to no seasoning, and the chicken (I think it's the chicken?) is a delightful shade of grey that I'm sure I'll come to regret in a few hours. I'm really bummed because I was super pumped about the idea of having found my go-to-bad-but-good-Chinese-food place. Maybe from now on I should just order the vegetable dishes here? I'm not sure. But it's going to be a while before I order again. read more

We ordered from here while staying nearby on vacation. The menu is varied and that "something for everyone" approach is helpful for a five-person family. Also, it's super cheap. That's probably because it's a pretty "bare bones" type of place. If you have modest expectations and want decent, hot food for a low price, give it shot. Overall, it was pretty good. We got the Pu-Pu Platter to share, which was only ok. The teriyaki chicken included was delicious, but the crab rangoons were subpar at best. The orange chicken was out of sight - really really good. The flavor and the spice were spot on and we devoured it. Yum! The chicken strips were straightforward - nothing much to report there. The french fries left a LOT to be desired. I think they'd been sitting for a while before getting dumped in with our meals. They weren't hot, and they were kind of chewy, too. If you're looking for a place that can deliver Chinese food, hot sandwiches, good kids meals, and more, give this place a try. read more

Chinese food is consistently solid, and well portioned. Delivery usually in 30 minutes or so. We ordered the chicken wings, shrimp fried rice, General Tso Chicken, Moo Shoo Shrimp, and shrimp rolls. The Moo Shoo Shrimp looked a little darker than I remember, but this was only my second time having it. Ordinary condiments that you would find in any neighborhood carryout. For a neighborhood place, the food was priced right. Definitely not a sit down kind of place. read more

This is without a doubt my new favorite Chinese carry out in DC! Clean, quick, and delicious. General tso's is my go to and this place does not disappoint! The flavor is excellent and the chicken isn't drowning in a sugary sauce. Crispy and delicious! 5 stars read more

By far my favorite Chinese place in this area. When you walk in you are actually greeted like someone who is getting ready to spend their hard earned money on a product. I've tried a cheesesteak sub and chicken and broccoli and both were awesome. I haven't tried delivery but I imagine it's on par with everything else read more

DO NOT ORDER!!!!! I have been living in this neighborhood for almost 20 years and have never been so disrespected by a carryout worker. I called in a large order (4) this evening. When the worker was repeating the order back to me I asked for him to repeat himself because I couldn't quite make out what he said. He then responded by asking if I was drunk. I couldn't believe what I heard. I told him I was highly offened and asked to speak to a manager. He then said the manager was not there and hung up. We order from here all the time and to be disrespected by a business that I have patronized for so long is disheartening to say the least. Will NEVER spend my money hear again! read more

This is the best Chinese food in DC North East Area. I've tried other Chinese Carry Outs in Nearby and they don't even come close to the quality of food at Asian American. They have the best beef and broccoli, shrimp basket, and steak & cheese sandwich. The beef has very little fat (just enough fat), so it's not all fat (and chewey & barely any meat) like most beef items that other carry-outs sell. Also, the food is always fresh and they're fast! They also have a great variety of other foods such as gyros, mozzarella sticks, wings, etc. Give Them a TRY. read more

I got delivery from them and the wait time wasn't that bad, but the service sucked. They offered me a free soda, but charged me. I ordered a 20oz bottle of soda and a spring roll that I didn't get, but they charged me for that too. I asked if I could get it and they said they'll put them in my order the next time, but my question is, how will they know who I am? My advice is to call and make sure that you get what you're asking for and to get the price for your food before hand because I was charged more than the website quoted. The food wasn't bad; I liked their lo mein, the garlic w/ broccoli was ok too, but I wouldn't recommend the plain fried. read more

I don't recommend this place. Even though the place itself looks brand new, the food doesn't live up to my expectations (to each is own if you like this place). Not only that the food was not to my liking, the price was just ridiculous. read more

This is really good Chinese takeout. From the time I ordered it to the time it delivered, no more than thirty minutes had passed. It satisfied my Chinese food craving, and I was very content. read more

Tastes good enough. I ordered the Shrimp noodle soup as take out and there was no bok choy in the soup. So it was basically miso soup (minus tofu) with noodles, an egg and shrimp tempura on the side. Shrimp of pretty low quality I should add. A little disappointing.. Nothing particularly special about this place but as I said.. tastes good enough. Oh, and the shrimp were not deveined, doesn't bother me that much but I know that's a deal breaker for some people. read more

The food is expensive but it's worth it the food is always hot because it made after you order. The smell of the place smell like a restaurant ( smells like good food) read more

Asia Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

I am usually not steered wrong by my fellow yelpers. In this case I have been, and my stomach is paying the price today. I can only assume the postive reviewers have iron stomachs and are willing to overlook the food quality due to the lack of delivery places in the neighborhood. I decided to order a test run since I have seen this place driving down to Union Market. I ordered Szechuan beef and fried wontons. The food came within 30 minutes,but the driver would not come out of his car to give me the order. I live in a row house, only 10 steps! I guess the light rain was too much for him. I got my order and noticed the lack of beef in my dish - it was mostly shredded celery,carrots and onions in a sauce that was most definately not szechaun or spicy. The beef that was there was fatty. The smell was the worst - it smelled like seafood - as if the the dish had been cooked in the same pan as shrimp or fish. I ate a few bites and decided it would be best to stop or risk full food poisoning the next day. The wontons tasted chewy, not crispy, and the meat inside was similar to old BBQ pork. Overall poor food quality and will never order again. It is now 12:30 the next day and the nausea is just subsiding...*shudder*. I honestly don't know how this place got such high reviews! read more

Great palce for fast food to eat in and its very clean , the foods alway on the point.

saw the mixed reviews but figured I'd give it a chance. so glad I did! the general tso's chicken is the best I've had in DC. for some reason, every other chinese place I've tried makes most chicken dishes with breaded white meat chicken. asia kitchen uses dark meat which has way more flavor and makes em extra crispy without all that soggy breading. will be my go-to chinese spot for now! read more

They dont know what a good customer service is especially the guy at the register he is so rude he talks like he's about to fight me after smiling at him the rudeness of their cashier is blasphemous. Please if you can read this you should think about hiring another one and work on your customer service coz this place and the food is a piece of garbage read more

I would of gave them five stars but the chicken was a lil dry and maybe old my girl friend had to throw up soon after eating the chicken and fried rice me I liked the Chicken just thought the rice was extremely old and dry and I only had two shrimp in my shrimp fried rice but overall I would go back and try something different my girl will not tho lol read more

Absolute trash. Ordered the most basic of dishes, chicken fried rice and spring rolls. Both were absolutely awful. They put eggs on the rice that looked like I had just scrambled the eggs for some quick breakfast, it wasn't even mixed into the rice which was mushy and tasteless. I asked for a full refund. Also ordered chicken wings which weren't bad and I didn't ask for a refund for those. The delivery man promptly came back to pick up the food we did not eat. Thankfully I hadn't already thrown it away. They were nice about it though. read more

This is my favorite spot for Chinese food in DC - and I've been searching for many years for a solid spot that is reliable. The food always tastes extremely fresh, and exactly how it's supposed to. Unlike a lot of other local places, the flavors are just perfect and nothing is off-putting. I also like the sushi here - it's fresh and the portions are good. My favorite things are the lo mein, general tso's wings, shrimp tempura sushi, and chicken and broccoli. But really, I've ordered a lot from here and everything has been fantastic and quickly made. Don't pass this place up if you're looking for some quality chinese/japanese food. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! In a nutshell: 1) Terrible customer service - delivery person will not get out of the car - manager does not care to resolve grievances 2) None of the food has preparation descriptions on the website. Do not expect any different when you call to ask how the meals are prepared. 3) An employee suggested I order the salt and pepper shrimp but failed to mention that the shrimp is breaded and fried with the shell on! Called to see if this was a mistake and was instructed to peel off the breading and shell if I did not want to eat it. 4) WHO EATS THE SHELL OF SHRIMP?!?! read more

I didn't have high hopes but so far this place is best take-out in the area... we have tried a number of things like the wings to the Singapore rice noodle and everything is pretty good! I can't vouch for their sushi but the Store-front is new and clean and their customer service is easily above average for a take out joint! (The person who took the order over the phone spoke English well and was patient... then when they forgot to put something in my bag they called me and delivered it ASAP with full apologies!) read more

Great food. Best fast Chinese restaurant I know in DC. We order from Asia Kitchen a lot and have not been disappointed. Lo main is 10 *s

This was a great discovery. It's your typical DC Mumbo Sauce and Chinese food establishment, but for the same price you get a notch up with the quality of food. The General Tso's chicken for instance is fried very well. Maybe this place is new and has a well calibrated fryer. I don't know. All I know is the outside was crispy (I ate in, delivery probably allows enough time to get it a bit soggy). The fried rice has little char marks on it. I like thinking that they got the heat in the wok up high enough that the rice and veggies actually did fry a bit. I haven't extensively sampled their menu, but this is the only chinese takeout menu in my drawer now. Oh and they have chinese donuts, I never find outside of buffets.... so bonus point for that. read more

I only heard about this place through Yelp, and I am so grateful! Anybody who eats in the District knows how hard it is to find even competent Chinese food in DC -- like in there isn't any! (Whatever you do, stay away from Chinatown!) So....we tried this last night and finally have found the holy grail! Fresh ingredients, big portions, vegetables that have clearly been chopped by a human being with a knife. If there's a chili pepper on the menu, the dish is HOT. The website is easy to order from and special orders are attended to. We had Curried Chicken and Singapore Mei Fun. Both excellent (the Mei fun needed soy sauce, but better too little than too much). Both quite hot, so if you like spicy but not so much let them know. Also, I think they use MSG, so tell them if you don't want it. We also got fried dumplings which were huge, but didn't travel well. I'd try steamed next time. Free 2-liter of soda. How did they know orange pop brings out the little girl in me? Anyway, I'm offering 5 stars even though they only earned 4 1/2, to help them stand out from the crowd of awful places too many people think are acceptable. read more

Thanks fellow Yelpers for the great reviews. The food and quick delivery was awesome. Nothing better than finding a gem in the neighborhood. read more

I love this place... The food is always great and the delivery is usually very speedy. My only issue is that I recently discovered that they use MSG in some of their dishes, so if you care about your health please request your dishes to be made without MSG. I have an allergy to it, and forgot to order my food without before and it caused me to break out in a little rash. Just an FYI to others. Other than that this place is great. read more

I was skeptical at first because Chinese spots are hit or miss BUT I was impressed with my dish and the diver. I ordered Singapore Mei Fun and Curry shrimp and chicken. read more

Searched for a nearby Chinese restaurant on Yelp and found this place. The food was excellent and the price was right. We ordered Sweet and Sour pork, Beef with mixed vegetables, and Lo mein. Delivery was quick and they had no problems finding the place. Would definitely recommend as this will be my go to Chinese place in N.E. read more

The best carry out chinese in the city and when I say the best I literally mean the best as far as take out goes for chinese delivery (we really dont have many good choices in the city of dc). I have been call the carry out queen so I should know :). The steak is excellent as far as the pepper steak ,a greasy steak and cheese sub or a steak and cheese egg roll I have been ordering from these guys for many months, the food is always hot and fresh! read more

Wow! Amazing and very fresh sushi from a standard Chinese carryout. I bought here from a map recommendation with low expectations but I will most definitely be back! I had shrimp tempura rolls. $7 for six pieces I think so I got two. Well-worth the money and excellent-tasting sushi. You won't regret it. read more

I've ordered from here a few times. The food is consistently solid and actually better than some fancier and more expensive dine in Asian restaurants I've patronized in the city. Last night I ordered the Vegetable Egg Foo Young and it was pretty good with a spring roll and an ice tea. Deliver was quick and the driver was nice. I love their online ordering option. Cheap, decent food with good portions. A-Ok. read more

I eat at this place and spend my money almost EVERY Saturday when working in the area. Today, I come in and asked to use restroom code and the cashier (guy with dark glasses) refuse to give it to me. I explained to him very politely that I just need to run to the restroom first and will order my usual afterwards. He only stated, "order first". This is not the first time I witnessed this unprofessionalism, usually with other patrons. I will NEVER spend my money here again. read more

Sub-par. The General Tso's Chicken was more fry than chicken & the Hot & Sour Soup tasted more like an Asian chicken soup. Unlikely to return again. read more

got TERRIBLEEEE food poisoning after eating here, do yourself a favor & avoid this spot

I really like the food here. It has a unique take on Kung pal chicken and it doesn't fell heavy or sugary like a lot of places. It however does feel like there is something missing but overall I have had nothing but a positive experience here. read more

The food here is great. I love General Tso chicken and it's amazing here. I know a few people that really enjoy their fried shrimp. Don't expect a nice decor. Just order for pickup or delivery and enjoy in the comforts of your home. The food is delish. That's all that matters. read more

I love ordering Chinese food here. Until finding this place, I always hated to order Chinese food because it would be greasy and heavy. So far everything I've had here just tastes fresh! The vegetables in all the dishes are crisp and cooked properly, and the fried rice is excellent. I've probably ordered 5 or 6 times and its been a great experience each time. Good portion sizes, too. read more
