This place makes really really good delicious food, but the appearance and low maintenance of the restaurant don't sit well with the visitors. But you haven't done the Chinatown experience right, if you don't eat some duck and traditional Chinese dishes in a half basement establishment :P We got pecking duck, lobster, eggplants, rice of course and had a full on feast. Duck was so so good. The lobster with garlic sauce is exactly what I want it to be. The garlic sauce eggplant was pure joy. The people at the restaurant were super nice to us. But the restaurant does lack in proper maintenance and appearance. The entrance and front side is much nicer than the back room dining tables. But I am happy ignore all that for the delight of my heart and tummy :) read more

We stopped here for dinner on a Friday. Didnt have an issue getting a table. We were seated in the back room, which is could use an update. The space was small so everything sounded really loud. Our server was fine. She came by, took our order, and food came out pretty quickly. We ordered lemon chicken, salt and pepper pork, and beef chow fun. Our favorite was was the chow fun. The noodles were not super greasy, they were soft but not overcooked and seemed fresh. It was cooked with beef, bean sprouts,and green onions. Lemon chicken was ok. The breading was a little on the thick side, but the sauce wasn't as lemony as I'm used to for this dish. The salty spicy pork was also ok. I liked the fry/cook on it, but the seasoning was inconsistent. Some pieces had more seasoning than others. Not bad for quick Chinese food. read more

After 14 hours of being on airplanes and airports, I felt like a hot bowl of soup. Duck noodles? That should hit the spot! Well, sort of. It was "okay", and having come from a place with lots of Chinese places, based on this one dish, this place would be below average. Roast duck seemed a bit dried out, broth tasted almost beefy. Noodles were okay. Limited amount of veggies in it. But for the price of 11.95, I guess it was okay. A no frills, "what you see is what you get" place to have Chinese food... It is right across the street from the Marriott Fairfield Inn. A little sketchy area so I made sure I ate while it was still lighted... read more

This was the only Chinese restaurant open in Chinatown at 11:40am-ish on a Sunday. I was also drawn to the big bold sign boasting hand-made noodles and the guy prepping the dough in the front window. (That and the blown-up newspaper articles from 2013 and 2016). I'm not sure about some of these high ratings, which just goes to show taste is very subjective. The dumplings seemed like a steal ($7.95 for 6) and it probably is because the wrapper was so thick there's barely any filling. The xiao long bao was served lukewarm, like it's been waiting to be served. The filling was tasty tho. Better to ask for deep fried dumplings, then they arrive warmer (who knows if they're actually fresher, though?) Hubs asked for roast pork noodle soup but instead of roast pork it was hard char siu which stained the noodles pink. The kid ordered won ton soup. The wontons were 95% thick wrapper with a sliver of filling and bland broth. Service was... questionable. We were greeted and seated by someone friendly enough, and I ordered the dumplings and told her we're still looking. Someone else came along to take our order (noodles and wonton soup), and asked rather rudely, "Just noodles and wonton soup? That's all?" After I told her we've ordered dumplings she walked away without a word. So what if we ordered only two things?!? Their prices are low but service is bad and quality is acceptable if you don't mind doughy dumplings with barely any filling. I feel terrible for this poor review but I can't in good conscience fluff it up. read more

We were heading into the city and looking for a quick dinner before a concert. Such a good choice. Since we had plans, I tried not to overdo it because we couldn't take leftovers. I went simple and stuck with the stir fried fresh noodles with roasted pork, my wife had roast pork lo mein, we split fried pork and leek dumplings, and I had wonton soup. While the stir fried noodles weren't extremely different from the lo mein, I noticed some small differences. The noodles were more of a single portion while the lo mein was a larger, "share" platter. The lo mein had onions, where the stir fried noodles didn't. I also noticed the lo mein had a bit more of the wok hei smokiness. With that, they were all delicious. Large pieces of pork and the noodles had such a great chew to them. The fried dumplings were delicious! Good size and the right amount of dough for me (I like them with a little chew and on the thicker side.) The wonton soup was good with a clean broth, though the wontons themselves were a decent, standard wonton you'd see in a good takeout shop. I would love to go back and try more of their noodles. Maybe one of the soups on the next visit. read more

2... possibly 1.5 star I wish I could write in all caps, cause I wanna yell. This place is severely overrated! This is located in the heart of the tiny Chinatown, that DC claims. This is the restaurant that has the dead ducks hanging, which I don't recommend in getting. $49 for an old duck that's been hanging for days with flies swarming it, no thanks! Overpriced Americanized Chinese Cuisine. I ordered simple stuff. General Tsos and Sweet n Sour Chicken, sounds pretty simple right? Instead, I got some stale chicken tender chickens that was chewy and old, slathered its own sauce. Service was pitiful. Place needs a good scrub down. The fancy fish swimming in the tank, doesn't make the place any better. Prices are hiked up for what you get. My mistake for not checking Yelp b4 coming here. If anything, next block over, go to Tony Chengs. You'll have a better experience and get to see all the hall of farmers from DC on the wall, like Adrian Fenty fine self. Again avoid this place. read more

It was raining and we quickly needed to get inside a place. Saw some people waiting for takeout and I asked them (the customers) what's good here. A Caucasian guy in business suits thought for a second and answered "everything." Well, that was enough to convince us, but we were wrong. The hand pulled noodles were good, but the place lacked heart. What I mean is the Chicken Clay Pot dish was filled with breast filets. Which is soooooo not how it's supposed to be. If I wanted breast meat I would've ordered a different dish. This is supposed to use chopped whole chicken, you know, bone and skin in, and what not. It was at the end of the day, perhaps they ran out of whole chicken, but they should've told us instead of just changing it up, for the much worse. We wanted to get Mantou to go and they were all out. The Youtiao we took to go instead were so oily and hard, they must have been sitting out for long. I'm beyond disappointed. read more

I'm disappointed to write that my friend and I didn't enjoy our recent visit to Chinatown Express. The menu looked good outside the restaurant and there were a good number of people instead, plus we love when Chinese restaurants have fish and lobster tanks at the front, so we decided to take a chance and go in. There is an upstairs space that has more seating according to signs, though we were seating in the first level so I don't know how many tables are upstairs. The service was very fast, we were in and out in less than an hour. The waitress came up to us very quickly and we ordered steam pork buns, steamed chicken dumplings, combo chow fun, and the shrimp in cream with walnuts. The food came out very fast which was nice. But about half of the pork buns were dense while half were fluffy, and all of the chicken steamed dumplings were really dense and we did not enjoy eating them. The chow fun was good but was a little greasy, though the shrimp was good. We felt the total cost of did not match the quality of food, which was a bummer. read more

This place is your typical small, mom and pop-type Chinese restaurant. It's very low frills - no big decorations around, a live fish tank right up front (as well as the ducks hanging by the window), tables packed together and a very efficient wait staff. This is the exact type of establishment that I grew up with; you'll find very similar service in Chinese cities. There are some complaints from other reviewers about the service: while it's true it's not your typical American friendly greeter, it's very authentic for a Chinese place: straight to the point, which I really appreciate. My regular order is the duck hand pulled noodle and the duck doesn't disappoint. It's excellent duck (though duck usually is) - and mixes very well with the flavor of the broth. I always savor every bite of the duck. I've had the dish many times and often, the noodles are bit overcooked and end up with a soggy/way too chewy texture so the star off is for that. But the broth and duck are excellent and the price is incredible. I would highly recommend to anyone, both local and tourist - I would especially recommend this for people looking for an actual Chinese place in DC's gentrified Chinatown. read more

tl;dr: Decent Chinese comfort food. The noodles and dumpling wrappers are famously handmade. I enjoy the no frills vibes, and quick turnaround service, and would go back for other foods in the future! Congee - 4/5: Kinda pricey in my opinion. I thought the bowl would be larger for $11, especially since congee is just so easy to stretch when making it! Normal proportions for congee is like 10 cups of water for 1 cup of rice. But the taste was really good, and I was feeling under the weather, so it was yummy and soothing for my tummy. Dumplings - 3/5: the dumplings wrappers are handmade, but they were really thick skins and the skins sort of fell apart around the filling. The filling itself was pretty good though. We chose the steamed version, but you can also get them fried. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high... buy, fresh noodles and dumplings, say no more, Im there! Unfortunately, the food was totally mediocre, it was crowded, and needs a good deep cleaning. We got the fresh noodles in soup with duck - apparently, they're kind of famous for this dish. It was not special at all. It wasnt even good. The broth was bland and luke warm - literally the worst two ways to describe a soup. The noodles were fine, but I really questioned the value of "fresh noodles" after tasting these. I guess Ill take dehydrated, frozen, any other noodles that can bring flavor and texture over these any day. We also got the beef chow foon, which was basic. The dish didnt even have that smoky wok flavor you get when your food is cooked on a too-hot-to-handle wok. I dont know, I was so disappointed in the entire experience. And there was a line out the door when we left! WHAAAAAT?! There's no reason to ever go back. read more

The best option around I guess... What I got myself the house made dumplings, the house made noodle soup and also a veggie lomein. My father got the BBQ noodles which came with roast duck and Char Siu. I got the dumplings steamed, I was not a fan... The wrapping was pretty thick.. and the sauce was mediocre. The veggie noodles soup was also a little tasteless, I added the spicy oil.. and that helped. The veggies they used in the soup didn't taste fresh.. some of them tasted spoiled... The noodles were good though. The lomein was too oily... My father noted that the BBQ was too salty... so salty it was bitter. The freshness of the BBQ can't be tasted since it is in a soup. Environment This small restaurant is located right at the beginning of Chinatown. There are a small amount of tables inside. There is the BBQ chop station by the door. Niceness of the staff Very typical of chinese restaurants, they are ready to take your order and ready to get you back on the road. Someone is always available to help, just make eye contact! Very fast paced... not a customer service place, if that is what you are looking for Dollar It was okay. everything was around $10. My bill was $50 and this was for the noodle soup, lomein, BBQ noodle soup and the dumplings. Yes I am not local to DC. It was a trip.. if I crave the noodles I would. read more

I got fresh homemade noodles with duck, vegetable and soup. I took it to go because the restaurant was very small. They separated everything in different containers, duck, vegetable and noodles in one container, broth in another container and various sauce in different containers. The duck was tasty, but not much meat , mostly bone and skin, (however for $10.95, it was good. The broth was good, but the noodles were bland. I added the pickled garlic to the soup with noodles and that did the trick. The rest of the sauces I didn't care for. It was hot and filling, can't go wrong for $10.95 read more

Exploring Chinatown today and the meat handing in the window of Chinatown Expressed beckoned me over. From outside the meat looks pretty fresh and the sign indicates that a plate will run about $9. So I was a little surprised when I ordered and the total was $12 and change. I also watched as the to-go box was heaped with rice and BBQ pork and then placed in the microwave for reheating... it's not the end of the world, but showed me that the meats aren't fresh or kept in any sort of a warmer either. Flavor was nice and the meat was still reasonably tender. Should I come back, I might go for noodles or something different to try more of the menu. read more

*Review stars are mainly for Roasted Duck Noodle Soup!!* After a long day, came here for dinner! You can either order in the front and then sit or sit down and order. They have indoor and outdoor seating. HEADS UP: pricing outside on the window may be different than the actual prices! We ordered the fried rice thinking it was $8.95, but turned out to be $13.95 after getting the bill Overall, a standard "hole-in-the-wall" Chinese food establishment. Service is quick! Most of the food will come out in disposable containers unless you order a soup. When we sat down, the server also handed us 4 sauces: garlic in vinegar, laoganma (hot chili oil), watered down soy sauce? (Couldn't really taste it), ginger scallion sauce Roasted Duck Soup with noodles (4/5): The duck is AMAZING! Comes with brown meat and melts in your mouth. HOWEVER, there's not a ton of duck. The noodles also don't cling onto the soup broth as well as I'd hope *unless* you add the sauces in! I recommend adding in the hot chili oil and green ginger scallion sauce to add more flavor + kick! One side note is I may have found a hair in my soup? But not sure if it was mine or someone else's Chicken Fried Rice (2.5/5): Was really salty and an overload of soy sauce. Not bad if you're craving fried rice, but probably wouldn't go out to get again. How I rate my stars: 1 - Yikes. Will never be coming back. Usually raw food, terrible service, etc 2 - Maybe it was just this time. Didn't like what I ordered, bug in the food, bad experience, etc 3 - Meh. Nothing special nor awful about it, but not super memorable. 4 - Liked! Would happily come back to :) 5 - Must-Try!!! I will becoming back to this place every time I'm in the area. Oh read more

Doesn't live up to the hype but it's decent! I got the roast duck noodle soup and felt like that itself was just okay.. there was less duck in it than I expected, and the broth was pretty average compared to other restaurants. I could tell the noodles were hand-made though. However, their sauces were FIRE. The noodles came with 4 sauces for duck (described to the best of my memory): ginger-garlic (normally hainan chicken dipping sauce), some variation of soy sauce, chili flakes/oil, and garlic/vinegar(?). I literally ended up pulling the noodles out of the broth and pouring the sauces on the noodles after finishing the duck. My favorites were the ginger-garlic and the garlic/vinegar, and wish I had some leftover to bring home... so delicious You order by going to the side window - sometimes it takes a minute until someone comes. It took about 10 minutes for my food to come out since there were several other parties waiting. There are also several tables outside for outdoor dining! read more

Welcome to this hidden gem of a Chinese Restaurant. Don't worry about the mood and atmosphere. The moment you walk in the waitress is like your mom yelling at you and tell you to eat everything. The food prices are standard and not at all expensive. I ordered the wonton shrimp noodles to start. The soup is excellent and memorable. The next dish is some typical beef chow fun being a true American. Finally, the main event which is the roast duck. Savory and crispy skin truly delicious. Overall, the experience was great and very traditional Chinese. I recommended if you are in Washington D.C. read more

Food was good and so was the service. ambience leaves much to be desired. It's the people that make the experience not the place

I visited Chinatown Express twice during a recent trip to DC for a conference. It's a no frills place with extremely quickly prepared food as per the name. Their flavors match my palate and I had two pretty tasty meals here. The first time, I ordered the shrimp chow foon but they gave me tofu veggie chow foon. It was still good! There was a lot of different types of tofu and vegetables and the vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked. The noodles were a bit overcooked on average, which doesn't matter too much for this type of noodle, but it was a bit gloopy. The sauce was thick and savory. It was a very large amount of food, but I'm not sure that it should be $20 given that there was no meat. I also loved the chili oil and scallion ginger sauce on the table -- my dish didn't really need more seasoning, but I used some anyways because it was delicious. The second day, I ordered takeout on the phone during my 7 minute walk to the restaurant, and the food was ready when I arrived. I got the stir-fried fresh noodles with seafood and made sure to ask for the sauces on the side. Man, it was a ton of food. I was absolutely stuffed about 2/3 of the way through. The noodles were in between chow mein and udon noodle thickness and well-cooked. I would have preferred more toppings relative to the noodles (shrimp, squid, fish cakes), but alas inflation. They also gave me a lot of chili oil, scallion ginger sauce, and pickled garlic, and I used it all. I would hold back on the garlic next time since the acid is powerful, but I can't get enough of the chili and scallions -- it really transforms the dish. It was a very hearty meal for $12. I would definitely come back here again. Next time I want to try the dumplings, since I saw them wrapping them fresh. read more

After the pandemic, quite a lot of restaurants in Chinatown shut their doors, but Chinatown Express was always full of customers. To be honest, the setting was unwelcoming and the service was mediocre, although the food was not as delicate as I expected, but was actually quite delicious, despite the aforementioned shortcomings. The skin of their handmade steamed pork buns was one of the thickest I have tasted, the texture was more similar to buns than Xiao Long Bao. Their hand made noodles were also thicker, but quite chewy and tasty with the beef soup. Their Kingdom Pork Chop was acceptable, but a bit too sweet. read more

* Pre-pandemic experience. I got one order of the Roast Duck on Rice to go. ($10.95) I watched as the lady looked in her container of roast duck and picked some random pieces to put on the rice in the to go container. She popped the whole thing in the microwave for a couple of minutes, added some duck juice, and a few pieces of broccoli to the container. (The exact order of how she did this may not be exact, but that's generally what happened.) When I got back to my hotel and opened my dinner, let's just say it was a pretty sad dinner. There were very lean pieces in there with minimal meat and it could have been a lot better with some choice pieces that included more fattier bits. Flavor-wise, it was just okay. I had so much rice leftover from there being so much proportional-wise to the meat. Maybe I would have gotten better pieces if I was dining in or ordering a whole one maybe? The only highlight was all the sauces they included with my order. The ginger oil sauce that is usually reserved for chicken was included with all to go orders and I was grateful for this since my duck lacked flavor. On a side note, I ordered a whole roast duck this evening from a local restaurant and I'm reminded how amazing roast duck can and should be. At Chinatown Express, this was not the case unfortunately. read more

Walking around late at night in Chinatown looking for good food and I found it! Found this gem that was amazing. Walking in I knew I was in the right spot. Majority of customers were Asian and speaking their native language to the wait staff. That's a good sign the food is authentic. I started with an egg drop soup to warm up and it was hands down the best egg drop soup. I then decided on the roasted duck as the table next to me had one and it looked good. I orders a side of fried rice to go with it. The duck was amazing! So tender and juicy! I couldn't stop eating it! The fried rice was good but the star of the meal was the duck. It was obvious this duck was cooked for hours. Can't wait to be back in DC to have this again! read more

Solid, classic Chinese food. The pork dumplings were very good. Clearly hand made; dough was of varying thickness, slightly different consistency from one to another. Quite good, especially with the dumpling sauces. I got the sweet-and-sour chicken (yes, I know, very white of me), and it was very good. Crispy but not dry. Sauce was excellent. Pineapple chunks, onions, and green bell peppers, but not quite as much of those as I like. Service was great. Very quick to get seated. Quick to take my order. Brought drinks and food quickly. Refilled my water frequently. Overall, excellent service. I asked for an itemized receipt, and they printed one for me (in English). I don't understand some of the negative reviews. Some said they were charged for water, but I was not (I had water and tea, and was not charged for either). Some complained about the food quality, but I found it very good. Not the greatest Chinese food I've had, but very solid classic food. No complaints from me (I only give 5-stars for truly excellent places, so my 4 stars here means I thought it was very good). I would come back again whenever in town, and would send friends here. read more

This place is so bad. Came in expecting authentic chinese food and it disappointed so hard, I can't even express the level of disappointment. Disgusting "soup dumplings" that were mis-shapen and seemed microwaved. Twice cooked pork was literally NOT that at all. Eggplant was sour and just trash. All trash.

I visited this place while attending a conference this weekend. When our food was brought to the table, I saw a long strand of hair with pieces of food on it hanging off the side. I immediately brought this to the attention of the owner. First, he didn't not apologize or provide a replacement. He tried to cover it up by pulling the hair off the plate and directing me to the waiter because he didn't want to deal with it. He even said "customers always complain, go write a yelp review, a Google review! Go complain! I have been here for over 12 years and nothing has happened." Needless to say, this was not a pleasant experience. I subsequently filed a complaint to the DC dept of health. The dept of health went on a site visit recently and emailed me saying that "I have investigated the complaint and observed food employees not wearing hair restraints while working with open food...Many violations were recorded during the complaint investigation. 5 and 14 calendar day notices issued to correct the violations." To the owner, this is yelp review you threatened me to write. read more

The fools that give this place anything lower than 4 stars need to just admit they love Panda Express and not even bother trying anything else. This place is as real as it gets. Right down to the atmosphere. If you order the noodle soup go with the duck. I ordered the veggie and it was a bit bland without the meat. Highly recommend ordering the pork dumplings, ripping open with your chopstick and submerging in the soup. Also adding a bit of chili oil to the broth is the way to go. As others have said the service is super quick. read more

Absolutely terrible soup dumplings (xiaolongbao). The soup dumplings were a misshapen, lumpy mass of dough that tasted like they had been frozen and reheated multiple times. Also, there was a person sitting near the counter who was playing a game of his laptop, ipad, and phone. If this person is the owner, he should seriously be checking the quality of the products coming out of the kitchen. If he's not related to the owner, then why is he there taking up a table to play games?! read more

If you've lived/worked/visited Chinatown, Washington, D.C., then you've probably walked past Chinatown Express and thought nothing of it and kept walking by! Maybe you thought, "cool Peking duck in the window" but you're on your way to do something else that does not involve poultry. Well, I'm here to tell you that if you do venture into this little Chinese joint, the experience is actually pretty good at price points that don't break the bank. I think the only thing you need to try is the Fresh Noodle with Roast Duck. Do get the Fresh Dumplings "made on the spot." Don't get the Steamed Pork Bun (dry and tasteless). First page on the menu has all these items and you don't really need to look at the rest of the menu as it can be overwhelming. Keep it simple! Service wasn't bad. The atmosphere is cramped-Chinese-restaurant. For the price, the food is great! I'm a fan. read more

2.5 stars It's been a while since I've visited Chinatown Express, so I was excited to have my favorite fresh noodle soup again. Unfortunately, I was let down. The soup was quite bland and not at all how I remembered. Maybe I built up the soup in mind in the past, and because of that, I was disappointed. The fresh noodles were perfect! They're thick, chewy and just overall good! The chicken was okay, nothing to write home about, and the broth, as stated earlier, was bland. Sadly, I don't think this will be a go-to spot anymore. read more

Chinatown Express is very popular. It has lots of reviews. The reviews are mixed though. After going here for takeout my feelings of it are mixed. Good taste but it's slow and inconsistent. It gets crowded. Really crowded. This is why most people get takeout. It doesn't have much room inside. The dining room is down the stairs. It feels like a basement. The atmosphere is not what you would call pleasant. Food is better. The service needs some work. I like the General Tso's Bean Curd. It's about $8 for the lunch portion. The lunch portions are the better value. It's not that much more in the dinner size. They still charge you much more for these. It's sad and yet funny. The lunch time is the best time. Get takeout for the best experience. It's better than eating in a smelly basement. You can also get it delivered if you live close enough. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Chinatown DC. First of all, let's not compare the Chinatown of San Fran and New York to the one in DC cause if you did you will be disappointed. So out of a very few Chinese restaurants here this is definitely my favorite. I like how they a chef making dumplings in the front so that tourists can watch how a dumpling is made. Also like the fact that they have roast ducks hanging in the front so that they can capture the attention of tourist walking by this restaurant. Actually speaking, that's how I walked into their restaurant to try their food. We went there after our morning workout, so we were pretty hungry. Two of us ordered roast pork, double cooked pork and Singapore rice noodles. Roast pork was very done with nice blend of spicy flavor in it. I loved the veggies like corn and carrots in it. I have had better double cooked pork but this one wasn't disappointing. Would have liked it if it were a little spicier. Texture was great. I hate it when pork is chewy, so this one here was perfectly cooked. Very tender. Singapore rice noodles is always our go to food. Like how they mix various meats and spices to bring out unique flavor in this dish. Parking is very hard to find in this area but we were lucky this weekend as it was thanksgiving weekend. Price is nominal, comparable to other Chinese restaurants. read more
