Service is always quick, although a bit curt (at times) and the food is always fresh with plentiful portions. My go to is the General Tso's or Orange Chicken. I've also enjoyed the Lemon Drop Martini as well as the Asian Pear Mojito. They do not take reservations, and their space is a little small so prepare to wait if it's a prime day/time. I've also heard from friends that parking can be a bit challenging, so prepare your patience beforehand.

They were also able to accommodate a group of about 18 of my family members and me, which was a huge plus! The service was excellent as well; the staff consistently checked in to make sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend!

I came in for the dim sum. The place was empty which is rare. I sat at the bar and was greeted…read moreimmediately but I wasn't given instructions on how to order the dim sum and as a first timer, I was kind of stuck. The staff answered my questions quickly and took my order. I had the Chinese broccoli, soup dumpling and salt and pepper squid. The Chinese Broccoli wasn't good at all. Very bland and I didn't really like the oyster sauce. The soup dumplings were good. Not anything to write home about, but I'd order them again. The squid was really flavorful and it was a good portion. I also had a giant pot of oolong tea which was delicious. They take Apple Pay as well and for less than $40 it wasn't a bad lunch. I'll be back to give it another shot for dinner.

The Siu Mai is really delicious--Good filling with shrimp pieces and very tender! The beef chow fun has a good fried-ness to it and thick rice noodles! The only skip for me would be the pork dumplings, so they were more breading. Quick service and small but clean location!

I thought the intestines were…read moretasty and the shu mai had a good seafood flavor due to the shrimp, but wasn't as tender as I have had at some other places. The chow foon was good consistent with my prior review. I was surprised to see drunken noodle (a typically Thai offering) on the menu and ordered on a limb. I thought all the ingredients were fine, but it could have used a stronger Thai chili / soy sauce flavor as it was a bit bland compared to the other items.

I came to Tiger Fork with a friend on a Wednesday. We had reservations and were seated immediately…read more The restaurant is in an alley so a bit hard to find. But it's BEAUTIFULLY decorated. It's a very trendy restaurant and was really packed especially for a weekday. The food was good! We shared the Grandma's Chili Crab Wontons, slightly above average. The combo fried rice, soooo delicious. Probably some of the best fried rice I've had in a while. Then we shared the Tea Smoked Duck Breast which I didn't love. I'd definitely go back to have some more fried rice and try some other dishes!

Overall it's not a bad spot, but it just didn't exceed where I hoped it would, and while the food didn't really shine, neither did the service. The space is really awesome, and the menu gives you a lot of hope. But fewer hits than expected. The Crab Wontons were out, the jeau lanh (sp?) was not bad, but not that great, the char siu pork was my favorite, but the fried rice and noodles were not cooked at a high enough temperature to taste remotely authentic. Cocktail list looked awesome, cocktails were all just fine, we had 4 of them. Best dish was the monkey bread for dessert! Probably won't be back, but not a horrible spot.

One of my favorite Chinese Food places is called Fortune China located in Owings Mills. Naturally…read moreas someone living in the DC Metro I simply can't justify venturing off to Baltimore County for Chinese food. As I hunt for great Chinese I stumbled upon New Big Wong and I gotta say it's up there for best Chinese in DC Metro. I always judge a Chinese food place by their portions and beef and broccoli (my go to dish) but I also tried the dumplings, egg rolls, and crab rangoons. The crab rangoons are huge and while I wish there was a little bit more crab they were a great side dish. The egg rolls wee massive and I enjoyed the fillings, the dumplings were great! Well seasoned. The beef and broccoli was solid. Not better than Fortune China but not terrible! Overall would try this place again.

The customer service at this restaurant is awful. I ordered a pick up order off of Uber Eats and…read moreone of the ladies came running after me thinking I didn't check with the guy in the back. Before the lady ran over I gave my information to the guy in the back and then got my order.

The restaurant is well-it and clean and they have duck, soy, and mustard on the counter so customers can grab as much as they want. SO much better than the spots that charge per pack. A really nice touch! The food is good. I got shrimp egg foo yung and hoped that it would have been more flavorful. It seemed to be lacking seasoning. Not salt, but something to add a richer flavor. BUT the gravy was not super heavy and cloying like it is at other places. So it does taste fresh. Same with the broccoli. It was a tad too crunchy, but that also made it seem fresh. A little more seasoning on the egg foo yung and a few more minutes on the broccoli and this spot could become my go to!

I'll have to try that next time, but this time I got the Ceviche Nikkei, Lucky 12 (4pcs of 3 different types of siu mai), and the Aji de Gallina. My favorite was the ceviche nikkei; it was so refreshing and the tuna was the perfect texture! Out of the three types of siu mai, the siu mai tradicional was my favorite. The pollo siu mai has like a salsa in it that was very unique but not my favorite. The Aji de Gallina was very hearty and comforting. The chicken pieces themselves were fine but the stew was so delicious. The real star of the show was the dessert: ponderaciones de kiwicha! The banana ice cream it comes with was phenomenal, it pairs so well with the cocoa powder! I would come back just for dessert! The ambiance is really nice! Decor is super cute, the light fixtures are really cool! Service was great!

Fun little concept of Chinese and Peruvian fusion food as the name suggests…read more I was eating by myself so I tried passionate fruit juice and the lomo saltado, unfortunately not the Chinese fusion food. The drink and food I'd say is pretty standard. The Lomo Saltado dish, however, I'd say that it's just a bit too salty, and the beef steak is slightly overdone, but only slightly. So I'd still give it a 4/5. Overall, I thought it's a beautiful space and nice dining experience and I'd still recommend it to others, just not on the top of my list.

Most of the tables were taken but we were seated right away. We ordered the Edamame and House Smashed Cucumber. The Cucumber had the right amount of tanginess. The Cheng Du Spicy Wonton stood out.

We were tourists but it seemed a lot of locals were eating there too. We would definitely come again.

LOVED the dinner I had at Maketto the other night. I'd heard about this place for years and only…read morenow did I finally stop in while grabbing drinks at another spot on H street. First things first did you know that Maketto has been around for 11 years! That's amazing, especially for a small business. And I fully understand why, because this place is a gem. Maketto is a Cambodian, Taiwanese blend restaurant that is surprisingly open from 9 am- 10 pm most days. I love the vibes, the exposed brick, the food, drinks, and the bartender was super friendly. So my friend was telling me that the restaurant used to be half retail store and half restaurant. I'm sure I would've wanted to come in here just to browse all the time because they're definitely trendy and in tune with the culture. Now to my experience. I tried their fried chicken wings and the lo mein. Both are medium plates and large portions. Between my friend and I we were stuffed at the end of dinner and still took some food to-go. All of their dishes come family style and they are not skimping you with the portions. The food was all fresh and soooo flavorful! Kudos to chef Erik, who also owns/created Providencia up the street. I'm so excited to come back to try more because everything sounds delicious. One little word of advice is to check if the restaurant has a private event booked before heading over. I recently tried to go for an early dinner on a Saturday and there was a wedding getting ready to happen. BRAVOOO Maketto, I will be supporting frequently :)

We hadn't been to Tony Cheng's since before COVID, so we didn't know ahead of time that they…read morestopped doing their famous Dim Sum around that time. That's on us for not researching, though. But, since we were there, we opted to stay for lunch upstairs. Downstairs was closed long-term for what I hope is remodeling. Even in December, it felt colder inside the upstairs restrooms than outside! But, given that we were the ONLY people in the place at noon on a Saturday, I guess they are trying to cut costs where possible. We wound up being joined by about six other tables in total while we were there, fortunately! The food was as good as I remember, despite the lack of Dim Sum. We did have a few apps to try and make up for it (shrimp dumplings, scallion pancake, spring rolls, wonton soup). They were all pretty darn good, I must say! For entrees, we went with just two, since we were already getting a bit full. We ordered the Ma Bo (ma po) Tofu and the Mu Shi Pork (with the pancakes). Both were flavorful and filling. My only complaint on the Ma Bo was that they used very silken tofu instead of a firm one. I do not admit to being an expert on the dish, but I was the only one of the three of us who didn't find the texture off-putting. But, that being said, the ground pork and sauce itself were very good, so not too bad overall. The service was okay. Our first server, older gent, seemed like he did not want to be there that day. He didn't seem rude or mad, just... sad. Like, the weight of a thousand bad days in row, kind-of-sad. But, the entire staff served every table, so it was one of those setups. That always seems to work better, I think. The drinks? Well, let's just say, one was enough! They have a menu of very colorful "tiki-era" libations, like the Suffering B*st*rd and the Scorpion Sting. We had one of each, and both were delicious and powerful in their own ways. There is basically very little parking nearby, though they are about a half a block from a Metro stop at Gallery Place - Chinatown. So, their location is wonderful! But, the downstairs being closed, the upstairs in desperate need of renovations, and the outside to match, it was somewhat of a letdown. I really hope they come back to full strength soon, because memories of Tony Cheng's back in the day are what keep me going when I have a craving for some Dim Sum!
