Great food and service! Really elevates Chinese food in an exciting way. The HK sidewinder fries are delicious and so different from a traditional restaurant side of fries, definitely recommend adding them on. I got the beef chow fun which was delicious. I'm very picky with beef, but the meat was tender. The noodles were cooked perfectly and all of the dish's elements and flavors went together so nicely. They have a great collection of teas to choose from, which can be made hot or iced. The chamomile tea was delicious! At least when I went, you couldn't make reservations for the outdoor patio for dinner in the online system, but I was easily able to do so by calling. The patio is shaded by buildings (at least at dinner time). The service was great throughout, I never even had to ask for a water re-fill. Can't wait to check it out for brunch too!
We stopped by on a Sunday night around 7 and were able to be seated immediately without a reservation. There was a single table outside on the sidewalk, and inside there were a mix of low top and high top tables. We were sat at a high top for 2. The signage outside is very fun, and walking into the restaurant you immediately noticed the Mah Jong tile wall. On the opposite wall are the Chinese zodiac. Overall the decor is fun yet tasteful. The food was fine. After dining in I am surprised by the number of 5 star reviews. We ordered the Chili Wontons, Salt and Pepper Wings, Honey Char Siu, and Wok Blistered Snow Pea Shoots. We both agreed that the snow pea shoots were the best dish. The char siu was on the chewy side and definitely could have been more tender. The wings were extremely hot and crispy, but they essentially had no other flavors. The chili wontons were fine but nothing special. My husband is Chinese and his family is from Hong Kong, so we are no strangers to Cantonese food. We wanted to love Canton Disco but it definitely fell short. The menu looks amazing, the plating is great, and the restaurant itself looks awesome. But it needs something more to put it over the edge. Our service was fine. Our server brought our drinks, took our order quickly, and the food was brought out as each dish was ready. The high top for 2 was a tight fit for the number of dishes we had (which wasn't excessive for 2 people). Then we did not have anyone stop by our table after that until we were asking for the check. We did see staff stopping by other tables to chat or ask how things were going. I am still intrigued by their brunch menu and if I was in the area I would stop in to try it; however, I would temper my expectations going forward. While everything sounds great, overall the experience was just fine.
I ordered brunch takeout! The Lap Cheong Egg & Cheese sandwich and the chicken lo mein were good! I really enjoyed the sandwiches, the bun was really soft and had a subtle sweetness that paired well with the sausage and hash brown. Although I didn't dine in, I could tell the ambience was nice and servers seemed very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!
I was skeptical. A disco? Near Nats Park? Good Chinese food? YES!!!! The meal was so so so so delicious. I know that usually Chinese food with 4.5+ stars is mediocre or too westernized but this is anything but. The flavors are rich and satisfying. The service is friendly. The decor is so cute - yes it's loud - but it is a disco ;) the Restaurant week duck deal is incredible. I left feeling only slightly sad that the meal was over because every bite was tasty!!!
My first time trying out the @cantondiscodc , from the delicious orange chicken to the Milo macha latte this Cantonese-inspired restaurant is definitely worth checking out. I love the 1970s Hong Kong nightlife theme that makes the space so cool and the menu blends traditional dishes with their modern twist. The service was great and enjoyed what we ate. Ordered: Orange chicken Chicken lo mien Beef & Chinese Cauliflower Dragon fruit latte Milo mocha latte Canton fruit herbal blend tea
Great addition to the neighborhood! Great food and excellent drinks. However, I was super impressed with the customer service. I came there one night and they had an hour wait. The owner promised me the next time I came that he would comp my drinks. Surprisingly, he remembered me and kept his promise
Orange chicken waffle? Fruity pebbles French toast? scallion pancake waffle with duck ? Come hungry yearning for Asian fused with Americana options. You can taste the quality of the Green tea leaves served hot, in a personal pot, fragrant, and naturally smooth. Come early! Reservations needed. This is a popular local spot! Great music, excellent server recommendations and friendly service - thanks Andy!
This place is nice! The vibes are on point? They have a great music playlist, and the drink prices are actually reasonable. On top of that, the food is pretty good! Highly recommend getting the golden fried rice and the honey bbq pork cha siu. The lychee martini is perfect. They also sometimes put tables outside. Great addition to the neighborhood, I would recommend.
Fantastic place for a fun and delicious small group dinner. My favorite part of the meal was how incredibly executed the texture was in each dish. My pork belly and wings were so crispy but also tender. The green beans and snow peas were addicting and had a fun garlic crunch. The salt and pepper tofu was crispy and pillowy. Everything felt fresh and interesting. Our sever Jason was kind and helpful! Really enjoyed it and will be a Navy Yard staple
Food - delicious, service - superb, ambiance - jack Chan movies in the background? Amazing. My husband and I went there for an early dinner earlier this week and had a lovely experience. Not only was the food yummy, the tea blew my expectations. I'll be going back just for the tea to be honest. This place is definitely not your take out Chinese food type place, but it's a nice restaurant overall if you're looking for a place that's fairly priced, has good food, and is lowkey. We had: the pork belly, wontons, orange chicken, and the panna cota.
Have been wanting to come try this place ever since it opened not quite two months ago. Would have come earlier if they have more extensive hours, as it is it's only open from 5 pm Tuesday to Sunday although they are looking into adding more hours. It's not a large space and the decor and ambience is more like a bar than restaurant. All the tables seem about just 1.5 ft square so you might not want to order too many dishes all at once. What I like about it is there are a lot of high tables. There are also tables out in front on the wide sidewalk. Seems like it's already fast becoming a popular spot. We got there almost exactly at 5 pm on a Sunday and there are already plenty of people ahead of us. They have a pretty small menu - and we ordered mushroom potstickers, spring rolls, cucumber salad, and beef chow fun. The cucumber salad is a bit over pickled, the spring rolls nice but standard, but the potstickers are interesting, looking just a bit different from the usual ones being very crispy fried on one side. The beef chow fun is also somewhat creative - the flat rice noodles come in little rolled up clumps like gnocchi's and the beef is super tender and flavorful. Best of all they have the coconut sago panna cotta which is more like a sago pudding, absolutely worth a try! Looking forward to them adding more hours and we'll definitely be back for sure.
We came here for a late lunch (brunch). When we got to the restaurant there was no wait and it was quiet. The staff were kind and attentive. They kept our water filled throughout the meal. We ordered scallion waffle (brunch), won ton mein, and salt and pepper tofu. The scallion waffle was different, it was good but I think I prefer the traditional scallion pancake. The won ton mein was what I expected from won ton mein, taste wise. They give a generous amount of noodles in the bowl of soup and 3 won tons. The won tons had a nice gingery taste in the filling. I enjoyed the salt and pepper tofu. It was served with jasmine rose. The tofu was coated and fried, and the topping was good--the peppers had a slight kick but I didn't find them unbearably spicy.
Came back to try more items and were just as impressed. This time we ordered the fish sauce wings, cetuche salad, beef chow fun, and the pork belly. Every single dish was delicious. The wings were perfectly seasoned and crispy, influenced by Vietnamese culture and hit the spot! Favorites so-far: honey walnut shrimp, fish sauce wings, and beef chow fun Another great experience all around. We'll definitely be back again!

We saw all the hype on Instagram for this restaurant, so we had to give it a try. We got a reservation for a Wednesday at 6 and it wasn't too busy, but by 7 the restaurant was full so make a reservation. We shared a pot of Canton fruit herbal blend tea. It tasted refreshing and fruity, and they will refill the water in the pot. We split a few dishes. The honey walnut shrimp was our favorite, I wanted another order of them. The honey cha sui was cooked perfectly. We also split the bread pudding which is soaked in milk tea, incredible. The restaurant was cute, though I wished they had leaned a bit more into the disco theme. read more
Great new restaurant in DC! We were able to grab a table with no wait at 6pm on a Wednesday, but it was full by 7pm. It has cute disco element themes inside as well as a mahjong tile wall. Food came out quickly and was delicious. The char siu was perfectly cooked, the duck lo mein was incredible, and the honey walnut shrimp was a favorite. We ordered a pot of the canton fruit herbal blend, and my only complaint is that it was leaking out of the bottom and left a mess. Otherwise, this will definitely be a place I return! read more
Popping in on a Thursday evening with a friend around 7:30pm, the wait to get bar seats was only 10 minutes. Once seated, the bartended took our order. To eat, we got the Orangish Chicken and the Smashed Cucumber Salad. Both were decent. To drink, I ordered the sangria. It comes in a disco ball. If you like sweeter drinks, this one is for you. (There's a lot of ice so if you wait to drink it, it may taste watered down.) read more
my favorite place in navy yard! this place is amazing, such great service, food and vibes. everytime we go we order half the menu and we cannot pick a favorite! Gio is the best greeter and makes everyone feel right at home! so thankful this is in walking distance and cannot wait for my next meal here! read more
We went as a group of 4 and split the duck set, wontons, and pork belly. It was the perfect amount of food and hands down was our favorite meal on our weekend trip. I was not expecting the duck set to also come with duck lomein - it was out of this world. Also thoroughly enjoyed all of our cocktails. Vibes were immaculate. Worth the hour wait! read more
Decent Chinese food that definitely hits the spot and satisfies any craving you may have. Our entire group was a bit disappointed there was no dance floor, but it was a fun atmosphere. However, given the small space it was VERY loud and difficult to talk to someone sitting across from me. The staff were friendly and able to accommodate our large group which was appreciated. Ultimately the food and drinks are good but I felt it was slightly overpriced for what it was. read more

Really liked this spot! It's tiny and walk in only, so definitely recommend getting there early. We really liked everything we ate, but the Honey Walnut Shrimp were definitely the biggest standout. A great addition to the Navy Yard area. read more

We stopped for breakfast. I had a the beef satay breakfast sandwich and coffee. The sandwich was fire! They brought fresh pot of coffee in a French press! The wife had an earl grey cookie and chamomile tea. They brought the tea in a cool pot. We ordered at the door using a touch screen. Easy peasy. The service was outstanding! The music had my wife singing along and swaying through breakfast. Funky cool place read more

Came on a Friday night for dinner and drinks. Food was delicious, fresh, and fast. Got the mushroom dumplings--would've preferred a bit more texture from the mushroom (was minced a little too fine) but great sear and nice flavor. The crispy egg rolls were large and came with house made sriracha, quite good. Beef chow fun was flavorful and well executed, with plenty of beef, a rich sauce and unique rolled noodles. Drinks were way cheaper than expected (most $11-13) and the Mai tai was so good I got it twice despite wanting to try almost every other drink on the menu. It came with house made whipped cream in a tiki style mug and was plenty strong. Service was attentive and helpful, with food coming out rapidly and multiple servers checking on us through the meal. Vibes were good, with present but not overpowering music and a disco ball keeping the ambiance true to its name. I will be back here again and again. Only real downside is it's a bit farther off the main strip in Navy Yard but it's worth every dollar in my opinion read more
Abbbbbbsolutely delicious! The food was fresh and well prepared/seasoned. We got a little bit of this, little bit of that, including the Salt & Pepper wings 5/5, Crushed Cucumber Salad 4/5, Black Pepper Steak 4/5, Typhoon Shelter Shrimp 5/5 and Siu Yuk 5/5 (Must try if you eat pork!) Shoutout to the chef! The drinks were good too. Some even come in some decorative cups. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy. Music on and decorations were a vibe! All of the staff were welcoming and helpful and our server was great! As expressed, it is cozy, so if you can, try to snag a reservation before you make your way, but whether you get a reservation in advance, put your name on the list when you arrive or are able to slip over and find a seat or 2 at the bar, I think you'll enjoy the atmosphere, service and most importantly, the food! If you're into tea, they also have some great options! I tried the Rooibos Blend. I'll be back for sure! read more

The Orange Chicken is not worth the price of $18. There's no flavor to it. There's no crunch to it. Weak dish. It's comparable to a microwaved Orange chicken bag from Trader Joe's. Honestly I think that would have been more tasteful. I ordered it and ate it at home within 3 minutes of it coming out of the kitchen so it wasn't that it got soggy over time. :( read more

Great ambiance and vibe. Sat at the bar and both bartenders were attentive and friendly. Gave helpful recommendations on menu items. Food came quickly. 4 stars because I thought it was a bit $$ and every sauce was 10/10 spicy read more
