Was told this was one of the best happy hour spots in the city and it absolutely lived up to the hype! Their dumplings being a dollar apiece is pretty unbeatable and their drinks are also very reasonably priced. I got a set of fried and a set of steamed pork dumplings - both were amazing (fried may be slightly better but I couldn't do 8 of them so I'm very happy with my decision). I got their Chinois Mule from their happy hour menu and it was a great addition to the meal! The word had for sure gotten out about their happy hour so get a reservation for right when you open or expect a very long wait. We did get our table and our food quick which was great. The restaurant was packed pretty much immediately as it opened so it was very lively and had great vibes! read more

Bar Chinois - Happy hour menu - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I recently visited Bar Chinois for happy hour with a friend and overall had a good experience. The atmosphere and vibes were really nice, and we enjoyed the drinks, dumplings, and especially the 1970's Garlic Noodles -- definitely my favorite thing we ordered. That said, I do think the happy hour menu could benefit from having more food options available. The dumplings are the main happy hour food item, so it would've been nice to have a little more variety to make happy hour feel more worthwhile food-wise. read more

I came to Bar Chinois after work for a meal and drinks. We just missed happy hour, which ends at 7pm. We tried a number of small bites on the menu including the soup dumplings, duck spring rolls, and hoisin ribs. The soup dumplings were nice and flavorful. I just wished that they were a little bit larger. It was a nice day so we got seats outside. It wasn't too busy, so the server was able to seat us and bring out our orders quickly. The bar is a bit small and has first come first serve seating so definitely get a reservation before stopping by. read more

Prefacing this with the fact that we live in NYC, so we're used to great food. Food was OK. We tried the pork dumplings, egg with cheese, chicken flutes, and Brussels sprouts. All--meh. Edible, but that's it. Portions fairly small. For a Michelin recommended place, we expected more. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Bottomless dim sum brunch?! Yes please!! Came to DC to visit some friends who made a reservation for us and I am sooo glad they were in charge of picking the restaurant. The bottomless dim sum brunch was such a fun concept and all of the plates were delicious! We ordered multiple different plants and shared them family style. The food came out hot and quick! We tried almost all of the items on the menu but I really enjoyed the soup dumplings, crispy Brussel sprouts, and crab Rangoon. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The drinks were okay, the food was definitely the star. There are two parking garages located next to the restaurant and also street parking for a fee. Love this place so much can't wait to come back!! read more

Came here late in the evening to meet a friend for a drink. After asking the bartender a few questions, I had the Martinique cocktail and loved it! She was very knowledgeable and described the various cocktails well. We ended up ordering the Red chili Wontons and the pork soup dumplings based on her recommendations. Both were good but the red chili wontons were a bit too spicy for me. I liked the vibe and atmosphere. I asked about the $1 dumpling Happy Hour and she said you have to get there early, there is always a line and it fills up fast. read more

Came to Bar Chinois for happy hour on a second date (shoutout to my Succotash man ) before heading to an Oscar party, and this was the perfect start to the night. We were on a bit of a time crunch, but everything came out quickly and the service was attentive even with the place completely packed. And when I say packed--I mean you'll want to get there early or have a reservation. Luckily, my date handled that... good boy. We ordered the ribs, brussels sprouts, and crab rangoon--everything was flavorful and hit the spot, but the real star for me was the cocktails. So fresh, so well-balanced, and honestly dangerous in the best way. The Coco Marseille was my favorite--vibrant, smooth, and absolutely phenomenal. I'll admit I was a little distracted--too busy flirting and planning my fantasy life with my date to take a ton of pictures--but I did manage to snag a few. Worth it. Between the energy, the drinks, and the overall vibe, this is easily a go-to for a fun night out or a pre-event stop. I'll definitely be back (and next time, staying longer). read more

We came to Bar Chinois for their happy hour and I loved it! The decor of the restaurant was very fun, they had lots of tables, and I really liked the vibe of the place. The staff were helpful and checked in on us often even though the place was totally packed. I got the Chinois mule and I liked the twist on the usual mule because it was a little sweeter and I thought that the blackberry flavor went well with it. I got both the steamed and fried pork dumplings and they were super tasty, and you definitely can't beat the happy hour price! read more

Stopped in for drinks on a warm Friday evening and the place was packed--from the bar to the tables. It had a really vibrant, lively atmosphere. The hostess was kind enough to squeeze us in before another reservation, which we really appreciated. We had already eaten, but the menu looked great, so we'll definitely be back to try the food next time. The cocktails were solid and made for a perfect nightcap before heading home. read more

Managed to score a reservation here during the Cherry Blossom run weekend. What a fun spot! If I was a local, I would definitely be partaking in their happy hour- amazing drink specials and yummy bites. My boyfriend and I split the pork dumplings, which were divine. I was delighted with the steamed shumai and the crab rangoon. Excellent flavor and I loved the sauce that came with the rangoon. My boyfriend was quite happy with the 1970s garlic noodles. I passed on a cocktail because I was running the next day, but I had a sip of the Chinois Mule...oh my word, so yummy. These were clearly the most popular drink of the night, as I saw several trays of them go by as we dined. Only drawback...it is incredibly loud in there, so be prepared to shout across your table. read more

Bar Chinois is the rare DC restaurant that does not wobble. First visit, last visit, every visit in between, it lands with the same calm confidence, like the kitchen has no interest in drama and even less interest in excuses. Start where regulars start. The red chili wontons arrive glossy and loud, all heat and swagger, with just enough balance to keep you reaching back in. The steamed shumai are tidy, rich, and disciplined, the kind of dumpling that tastes like someone actually cares. Then the crab rangoons, which could have been a tired bar trick, show up crisp, generous, and weirdly elegant. Skip the table and take the bar. That is where the room makes sense. The bartenders work with precision and personality, fast without feeling rushed, and dialed-in without the performance. Drinks show up exactly how you hoped they would, even when you did not say it out loud. Consistency is not a flashy compliment, but it is the one that matters most. Bar Chinois delivers the same high note again and again, which is why it stays in the rotation while trendier places burn out. If you have not been, you are not late. You are just missing a sure thing. read more

I had a great time at Bar Chinois during their happy hour. The drinks were around $7-$8. I liked the citrusy St Marguerite that highlighted blood orange with tequila. My friend and I ordered the steamed dumplings and later ordered the dumplings fried. I like the dumplings as a little snack while drinking. The bar gets busy really quickly! I arrived a few min before they opened for happy hour and there were people waiting outside. read more

Put Chinese food and French influences together, and you have Bar Chinois, a cool Chinese French fusion restaurant in DC. The best values for your money are the bottomless brunch options on the weekends (dim sum for $39, mimosas for $25, or dim sum and mimosas for $62) and happy hour from Monday to Sunday 5 P.M. to 7 P.M. (half priced cocktails and $4 for four dumplings). My friend and I came for brunch, and we had the bottomless dim sum and mimosas. Our sever came around pretty frequently and made sure we always had food and drinks on the table, so we got our money's worth. We had a few mimosas and tried almost everything on the dim sum menu. Everything was delicious, but my favorite dishes were the Canto egg on rice and the five treasure duck hash. The sauce on the Canto rice was rich and perfect. The duck hash was so good. Luckily, we came at the right time and were able to get a table without a reservation. However, it gets pretty busy, so make a reservation if you are able to plan ahead. I highly recommend Bar Chinois if you are looking for unique food and a cool vibe. read more

We stopped in for their happy hour right when they opened and there was already a line! They have a great happy hour deals. We got so many rounds of dumplings and tried them all. Very good. Drinks were also so good! The place did get cramped fast in there but it was also pouring rain and they were nice enough to give people shelter from the storm. read more

Delicious compact Asian fusion in DC. A combo of dim sum, downright authentic, noodle dishes, seared steak or a simple rice dish, everything was delicious. Our sever was attentive, a bit chaotic, but they run a pretty busy take out service too. We started with a few dim sum goyza shrimp dumplings, a sushi plate and seafood stock pot. Everything was delicious, great flavor, fresh and not too salty! Oh and make sure you make a reservation, the service is quick but the tables never stop turning over. read more

Visited on a weeknight and had a lovely meal in this French-Chinese fusion spot in DC. The vibe is nice and staff were friendly. The food was prepared with classic French influence on solid Chinese dishes. The service was quick and just the right balance of service and letting us have time to ourselves. The portions were small but plentiful. Will visit when I'm back in DC! read more

As the name suggests, more fusion than authentic. Flavor profile is there, but a softer interpretation. That said, prices are decent and there's plenty space weeknights. Leans more loud than lively, but the patio is chill. read more

The service was lacking, but the food was absolutely amazing! We had a glass of Pinot, a glass of Biscay, brussels sprouts, pork belly baos, pork xlb, char sui chicken, and 1970's garlic noodles. We weirdly purred and smiled at every bite. The food was worth the waitstaff interactions. read more

Absolutely delicious Chinese / French fusion food (and drinks!) served in a gorgeous, bustling space with super friendly service! I visited Bar Chinois for dinner with a friend after she had a great experience at their Virginia location, and we had a fantastic time! We arrived right at the tail end of happy hour so we managed to snag a few drinks and their $1 veggie dumplings ($1 for each dumpling, not the whole order). I'm usually not a huge cocktail person, but I *loved* their Coco Marseille -- it was sweet but not too sweet, creamy but also refreshing from the herbs. A+ recommendation from my server! As far as food goes, the dumplings were tasty (and so cheap!), as were the crab rangoons and garlic noodles. The crab rangoons were crispy and perfectly fried, with a tasty and creamy filling that paired wonderfully with the sweet, fruity apricot sauce on the bottom. My favorite thing had to be the garlic noodles, though -- so beautifully buttery, with a perfectly al dente texture, and lots of garlic flavor. The cheese is a fun touch, and this dish was truly fusion done right -- the French (well, really, broadly Western European) and Chinese flavors paired perfectly with and clearly enhanced one another. read more

Bar Chinois - 1970's Garlic Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A happy hour worth attending as a DC resident. The ambiance in the restaurant is lively during happy hour- loud, upbeat music and a packed house every time I've been. The pork and chicken dumplings were both delicious and came out quickly, you could easily fill up on them for a pre-dinner meal. The Hoisin ribs were cooked perfectly , meat fell off the bone but the flavor was not as impactful as I have had before. Most would love, but I like a little punch in my sauce. The cocktails offered on the happy hour are the true diamond of the experience - the aroma, taste, and presentation exceed expectations. I had the Coco Marseille during my visit, a well balanced cocktail. The aroma when presented smelled like coconut tequila (not in a strong way, but a exquisite smell). It was such a smooth drink, went down easy but still had a kick to it. As a tequila drinker, I highly suggest. It was not too sweet either which was the best part. My accompanied guest got the Fall in Normandy, which had the most delicious banana smell and was a perfect fall flavor. Same vibes, smooth but strong - balance was the highlight for both cocktails. Service was exceptional, our server checked up frequently enough for us to be able to take advantage of the dumpling special but also gave us space as well. I suggest sitting outside if you are looking for an intimate, quieter experience but if you want action packed and fun - the aesthetic is everything. read more

I went to Bar Chinois for drinks recently. The drinks themselves were good. They had well made drinks and were enjoyable. That said, it was so crowded and way too loud. It made it hard to really relax or have a proper conversation. The seats also felt pretty cramped, especially with how packed it was. Looking around though, you could definitely tell the vibe was good. The energy was fun, and it seems like a great spot if you're in the mood for that kind of lively atmosphere. I'd probably come back, but maybe not during such a busy hour. At the same time, I'm not super pressed to rush back either. Overall, good drinks and a fun scene. Just be prepared for the noise and crowds. read more

First time at Bar Chinos on a Friday night , Had no clue what to expect, cute spot for a girls. Night out or a date night , I ordered the pork belly bao buns , good but had better . The service no issues there , also liked it was decorated for Christmas and playing throwback music throughout the place . I would be back read more

Unfortunately this place seems to be going downhill a bit. In the past, we found the service great, the food good, and the quality excellent. On my most recent visit, two of my friends couldn't eat because they've apparently reduced the number of gluten free items on the menu, and my other friend with a serious food allergy had her food come out incorrectly and was concerned that the kitchen has become unreliable. I ordered the same dish I have gotten previously and it's smaller and has less taste and fillings. It's still good for bottomless mimosas but I'm sad to say we didn't have a stellar experience. read more

First time here and will definitely be back! Meal was delicious fresh Chinese French fusion food. Highly recommend the garlic noodles, crab ragoons and soup dumplings. All three of us said we would love to come back because the food was so flavorful and fresh. Warning the music is a bit loud in here so consider sitting on the patio. We loved the energy and music so it was great for us. The server was great, we came at the end of happy hour and he made sure we go to put in two orders of happy hour specials- so kind! He was extremely busy but handled our table with care and attention. This place is always so busy during HH so highly recommend a reservation. read more

The vibes were great. The concept of French and Asian fusion is amazing. I loved the decor and the menu, but the actual dishes lacked a little je ne sais quois! The noodles are pretty good, but the salt and pepper shrimp were very bland. The duck egg rolls were good with the sauce, but also lack a little flavor solo. The hostess was very accommodating, knowing that we wanted a spot to have a little bit more conversational. They were able to adjust the sound per section. It was still very loud and hard to have a conversation but great for having a drink out with friends. Water service was frequent, served at room temperature. Straws were delivered my hand, didn't love that. Definitely take bathroom selfies here! read more

Bar Chinois was so-so. I wouldn't bother to visit again. I visited on Sunday at 5 PM with 3 people. The bar was full but we got a high top for happy hour. This was my first time visiting; I heard good things about their happy hour, especially the cocktails. We sampled the entire HH cocktail menu of six drinks ($6.5 to $9; online menu is close but not 100% price accurate). My favorite were the Coco Marseille (sweet, coconuty, creamy, herbal), Mousse a la Peche, and Iron Goddess. The mule was too sweet and fruity to be a proper mule, and the Espresso martini just tasted like a normal espresso martini (I didn't get any coconut or pandan from it). We also got some dumplings and small plates. We took the server's recommendations for fried pork, steam chicken, and steam veggie dumplings. I liked the pork (very good, very full of meat, but a little bland without sauce) and my companions like the chicken. We all agreed the veggie were terrible. They were clearly not made or cooked correctly; they fell apart when we tried to pick them up, spilling watery contents everywhere. They were the worst thing I've eaten in a few months. The small plates were Salt and Pepper Shrimp ($12, four pieces), Crab Rangoon ($11, four pieces), and Pork Belly Bao ($15, three pieces). The shrimp were nicely fried, but lacked any salt and pepper flavor. The Crab Rangoon was also nicely fried and a classic version of the dish. The bao buns were okay, but the pork belly filling was not -- it was hard and overcooked and mostly bland. The place was pretty loud; lots of hard surfaces. Service at the beginning was quick, but then became very slow -- we had to ask about our second order or dumplings twice, and a beer we got took forever to arrive. Also, the Mousse a la Peche drink arrived drenched in sticky egg white on the sides -- they need to wipe down the glass before serving it. Overall, disappointing. read more

I heard about this place from social media and was excited to try a new happy hour place, as I have been very impressed with the happy hour selection in DC (especially from places like El Presidente and Le DeSales). Sadly, Bar Chinois did not meet the mark. When we arrived shortly after 5 (HH is 5-7pm), the first thing we were told was we could only be at our table until 6:30. Fine by us, but a weird way to be welcomed into the establishment. We tried their happy hour mules, it wasn't under the Mocktail section but it definitely should have been. This was a sugar ball with, we are convinced, very very minimal alcohol. Ok, now onto the dumplings that were not hot. When I think of dumplings I think of steamy little things, these tasted almost microwaved they were dry and slighter warmer than room temp. I understand an order of dumplings is $4 but I would rather pay a little more and get better quality, than pay for not so warm food with a weak beverage. Not to mention, my veggie dumplings seemed torn up (pictured) I don't consider happy hour an opportunity for a restaurant to skimp out on food and beverage, but it sure seemed like it here. read more

A great first experience! It seems like a local neighborhood bar but the ambiance is very intimate, and they have a great house mix. I came here with a friend for a late evening dinner. We sat at the bar and were greeted by every bartender as well as the manager once we sat down which I thought was pretty cool as far as attentiveness. My friend is the market manager for a few spirits brands so we had fun watching the bartenders come up with a few crafted cocktails using Brugal Rum. I can appreciate that when a cocktail is 'crafted' you can tell it's not pre-mixed nor is each one the same. I started with a passionfruit cocktail that puts you in the mind of a Paloma - initially too tart but after asking the bartender to adjust it was perfect. The 1970's Garlic Noodles I ordered were so delicious and filling; it was just ramen noodles and a little salty but in a flavorful way. My friend had the shrimp bao buns and the garlic noodles with shrimp and an old fashion with Macallan. Next, we tried a new menu cocktail - the Coco Marseilles - again, a top tier choice. It was so creamy with a hint of basil; very subtle yet potent enough for you to know you were drinking a cocktail. I plan on returning to try a different menu item but for now, between the service, ambiance and drinks - I was impressed. read more

I'm a fan of Bar Chinois because it gives me a little bit of Brooklyn NY vibes when I visit at night. The space is intimate with half of the space filled with tables and seating and the other half with high tops and bar seating that is almost always full. I used to come here after long work days with my coworkers and even on a random Thursday late at night this place is always pretty full. Not to the point where you can't find a spot to chill but full. I've never tried the food but I hear that they do dollar dumplings during happy hour and that they are decent. The drinks are average and the bartenders are kind. I could definitely see this being a great spot if you live right in the area and can frequent the bar and make friends with the bartenders. read more

This place gets busyyyy! You need a reservation for HH (5-7pm) or just show up early. They do have a high top standing area which frankly stinks. It's just not spacious enough (video attached). Luckily, just as we were walking out Natalia (a hostess) had a table for us!! She was so sweet and professional. We were so thankful! Our waitress Marlena was also incredible. We had their pork and chicken dumplings which were great. They come out pretty fast too. I do wish the pork dumplings were served hot - they were room temp. Also, we had the Chinois Mule which was mostly ginger beer and sugar - not much alcohol at all. Next time, we will return for brunch as recommended by Marlena! Thank you, Bar Chinois! read more

ordered a bunch recently for takeout, have no intention of returning. no dishes stood out, most dishes were underseasoned/lacking flavor, just overal disappointed with the meal. garlic noodles had no flavor, chili karaage was very overdone (tough chicken texture) with no skin texture, beef gyoza I would not have guessed as "french onion" flavor, roasted mushroom salad was ok. the zha jiang mian was the best dish but even then wouldn't go back for it. read more

Came with a group of 7 initially for the Happy Hour, which then transitioned into the dinner segment so we could experience Winter Restaurant Week 2025. Many of the reviews of Bar Chinois focus on the HH. From 5pm-7pm everyday (which is a rarity), all cocktails are 1/2 priced and all dumplings are just $1; indeed one of the better HH's in all of DC. And even more diner friendly is that the HH specials aren't just applicable in the closet sized bar area, but extend through the entire restaurant and to the outdooor patio (in the warmer months). Our group arrived around 6:20pm and crabwalked through the extremely tight bar area. In addition to bar seating, there are a few tables and a long counter to stand and place your drinks/food. As for the decor, it is modern with a very dark color palette, exposed duct work, and pops of red from the lanterns, lighting, and Chinese characters lending to the Asian motif. While I was waiting for the rest of the group to arrive I ordered the Chiniois Mule which is a concotion of Absolut Vodka, Créme de Cassis, Berry Shrub, Lime, Ginger Beer. I love the classic Moscow Mule served in a copper mug, but with the addition of the black currant derived Creme de Cassis and Berry Shrub, Bar Chinois version was predictably a bit too sweet for me. When we were finally seated, several dumplings were ordered for the table. Garlic Chives, Gyoza De Boeuf, Pork XLB...they were all fine. Not outstanding, but acceptable. Good filing to wrapper ratio; even if the filling whether they were veggie or meat was underseasoned. The accompanying dipping sauce added some saltiness, but had more sweet flavor notes. While the rest of the group was here for Restaurant Week, I was already getting full from drinks and dumplings, so I just opted for an entree of the Lu Rao Fan. Most Asian cultures have some version of slow roasted pork belly braised in a sweet/salty aromatic broth including star anise, cinnamon sticks, ginger sichuan peppercorns, and rock sugar. To be clear, Bar Chinois culinary viewpoint is Asian Fusion, so I already tempered my expectations of this dish. If this was pork belly, I couldn't tell since the meat was dry and flavorless. And I could hardly discern any of the 5-spice blend in the sauce. The bowl came topped with a nice soft boiled egg, arugula salad, scallions, and sushi ginger. Again, this is Asian Fusion and not an authentic dish you'd find in any one of many eateries in Rockville or Falls Church. If I hadn't asked our server for a side of chili oil, the dish would've been much too bland for my tastes. Be forwarned, this is palce is L-O-U-D. The acoustics resulting from the high ceilings and concrete creates a sometimes deafing echo chamber. Don't be surprised if you spend most of the evening leaning in to be heard and having to yell "what did you say?" to be heard over the din of discordant background noise. Service was good. Our main server checked in on us throughout the meal and was patient with a large group. Otherwise, a team of servers delivered food and ensured water glasses were kept full, and plates/dishes removed in a timely fashion. Note, Bar Chinois DOES NOT allow for separate checks, so if going with a large group, figure out a system before hand for how to account for individuals orders. My portion including one HH drink, an order of dumplings, and one entree came out to roughly $40 with tax and tip. Which IMHO, is a decent value for DC dining. Everyone else in the group also seemed to throughly enjoy their meals. Does Bar Chinois serve the best most authentic Asian cuisine? No; but then again, that's not what this place is trying to be. It's a cool spot for Happy Hour, and an intimate dining spot. Now that I'm back in the office 5days/week, I can definitely see myself heading here with co-workers as I wait for DC traffic to subside. read more

Fun brunch option in a trendy setting. Did a Sunday brunch date with my wife here before a visit to the national portrait gallery for bottomless dimsum. The good: it's a fun brunch option near enough the national galleries to walk on a lazy Sunday morning. The dimsum menu includes quite a few dumplings, bao, and other options that should satisfy a larger party looking for more variety. The dining room is comfortable clean and modern with a trendier feel for a date spot or anyone trying to make a first impression. The bad: you are paying for the location and the decor. This is perhaps more noticeable this close to Chinatown where a similar meal can be had in a more modest dining room that will be a bit more friendly on the wallet. A fun occasion spot, but maybe a bit out of reach for a regular option. read more

I like Bar Chinois. I've been here once before for drinks, and ultimately I think that's their strongest quality. I've had a Cosmo and an Espresso Martini, and both were extremely smooth and well crafted. This spot is the ultimate place for drinks & apps. As for the food, I was still extremely satisfied. I tried the Pork Belly Bao, Red Chili Wontons, and the 1970s Garlic Noodles. The bao had a great texture, soft and bouncy, soaking up the grease and flavor from the meat beautifully. The Red Chili Wontons had the perfect amount of spice and a good chew to the meat filling. I really liked the addition of the garlic noodles to the menu, and I appreciate that the name encourages customers, like me, to look into the origins of the dish. read more

Trying an unfamiliar restaurant week is a true delight. We were lucky and had happy hour craft cocktails and dumplings to start. Their cocktail list is unique and delicious and very well priced during happy hour. The happy hour dumplings were great. Happy hour was reason enough to return. But we also had a full dinner. The red chili wontons were the best thing we had off.of the menu. The bao were delicious, a unique presentation, like a crunchy sandwich. The 70's noodles were wonderful and the char chicken rice was great. The matcha creme brulee was wonderful. The restaurant was full of people, inside and out. The staff was great. The restaurant itself was fun and well decorated. Looking forward to returning. read more

We just went for restaurant week. The food was drenched in sauce for everything, overcooked, and flavors that didn't mesh. I've never had bad duck until today. It didn't taste like French Chinese fusion, it tasted like a pound of sugar. The ribs were more char than meat. The only redeeming quality of this place are the servers. We did not try their drinks but definitely do not come here for the food. read more

Came here for restaurant week with a group of friends! Definitely some hits and misses, I'm not sure it was good enough for me to want to come back. The restaurant week deal was alright, $40 for a starter, entree, and dessert. Was not a fan of the bao; it lacked sauce and tasted kind of raw. I liked the char siu chicken rice and also tried my friend's garlic noodles, which tasted pretty basic but definitely yummy. It's a lovely space and I liked the reddish dim lighting. The chocolate cheesecake and matcha crème brûlée were my favorite parts! read more
