Great food, every weekend for my family and the service is quick and polite. They are like family when I visit.they always know exactly what I want. The ambiance could be better though read more

Consistently yummy! Good wings/fries mambo sauce, Shrimp fried rice is tasty. They used to only take cash but now allow CashApp so that's a plus! read more

You know this carry out use to be good I don't know if they got new owners but it's trash a** now. I'm not wasting my taste buds on this bulls* the rice was hard the chicken wasn't fried hard and the steak and cheese was very messy. I'm washing my hands with this carry out. read more

The food is absolutely disgusting and not healthy. Why is this place getting any business? The food is absolutely nasty poorly run dirty environment, but they are still selling this food to the community, which is sad. I have seen rats all over the place to include dirty handling of the food and unsanitary conditions when they put the food together, I would not come here to eat anything. read more

The young lady who works the register is very rude. Also she is constantly on her phone and messed up my order. I asked for no vegetables as I am allergic to onions. Make sure u check ur food before u leave! read more

The best Chinese food ever. If you are in the area please visit you will not be disappointed.

I don't know why I keep going here, the food probably is not healthy, but it's really really good! The Chinese food is good, but those fried chicken wings and Mumbo Sauce are fire! read more

Classic Carry-Out food. VERY good chicken. Everything was hot and the chicken was crispy and well seasoned. We ordered ahead over the phone. The associate was friendly and precise. Everything was ready about 15-20 mins later and I repeat STEAMING HOT. The mambo sauce was on the milder side with subtle flavor. I will say it's in the hood. The other reviews said it right, order your food, mind your business and keep it moving. There were police in the parking lot when I came and I was there at 11am when they opened. There is no inside seating or anything like that. It's a grab and go. The vibe is very much Carry-Out. When you want a good chicken and fries/fried rice and your in SE DC, Good Hope is the spot. Thank Me Later. read more

See all

Cashier didn't remember items from my order. And my gravy had hair in it and I called them to report it to which everyone seemed to not understand. The understanding because clear when I said review and health department cause they supposed wear hair nets!!!! And this is why! read more

Good Hope Carry-Out - Gravy with hair in there! - Fast Food Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Best Chinese carry out in the area!! My recommendation is Pork Lo mein and fried rice.

Best wings and fries wings and mumbo.they have the right color mumbo sauce. They're under new management

The outside may be a little intimidating if you are not from "these streets." LOL BUT, if you want good Chinese food, look no further. Good Hope Carry-Out will not disappoint! My favorite dishes are shrimp lo mein and the fish sandwich. So delicious!!! Makes me want to go now!! read more

One of the better carryout I have tried sucks. It's a little far for me but definitely worth the drive.

People in SE gas this place up....they need to get across the River more often. Looks as sketchy and as bland as the lobby in front the restaurant. If you are on this side of town, the only option for good chicken wings with Mumbo Sauce is Hong Kong. Skip this one. Maybe if you're smacked and hanging out at your friends spot in the general area around Good Hope, but don't wast your time driving a long distance for the same old carry out you could get at any chinese joint. would never get actual Chinese from this spot lol. Like Serious my Southeast bretheren, Y'all must have never had good carry out the way y'all OVERHYPE this garbage. Its not even seeing Howard China, and thats just a generic carry out uptown lol. How this one made peoples top Mumbo Sauce lists still baffles me when I see youngins gassing it up on social media. It's just a dime a dozen hood Carryout. Unless you live in the nearby vicinity, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME DRIVING MORE THAN 5-10 MINUTES to this spot! Lilterally only servicable if you are smacked and you just happen to be on Good Hope read more

It definitely is a place to order your food ahead of time! Rice was a little over cooked but decent taste definitely could use more seasoning along with the chicken wings. read more

Sincerely wondering if the people giving this good reviews have working tastebuds? We decided to order from here last night and not only was that rice fry it was clumped together which tells me it was old. I ordered veggie fried tried and they threw steam veggies on top. Large steamed veggies instead of chopping them down and frying them with the rice. Chicken wings were trash, super salty, too. I used to order her years ago, but they have fallen bad. Unless truly desperate, don't bother. DC Chinese food isn't what it used to be. Most of these shops are getting super lazy and not cooking very well: read more

Fried chicken and mumbo sauce BOMB AF! Only takes cash and in a rough area but if you just mind your business and call your order in ahead of time you'll be fine! read more

Definitely one of my Go-to spots in Southeast/Anacostia area. Very friendly staff as well. Food is prepaired quickly and always the same perfect serving. Try that Mambo sauce with the wings read more

Best beef fried rice and beef lo mein ever. I've traveled across the country and I can't wait to come back to dc and hit up Good Hope Carry-Out. Yes it's in the hood but it's good, staff is friendly, although a young male worker kept calling me "yo" and I had to correct him, "are you talking to me? Because I'm a woman, men don't address women as "yo" " , so that lost them a star. Always show respect to your customer. read more

I've always heard great things about their food, my first personal experience there was a good one. I ordered 3 wings and fried rice. The food was exceptional the service was fast, although the woman forgot my Mumbai sauce on the side which was quickly rectified. I enjoyed my food immensely. read more

Always good fish sandwiches, chicken wings and you must get the real DC Mumbo sauce. Chinese food is also good. If I really want good chicken wings I go back home to good hope! read more

This place used to be a decent carry out but a few months ago, I visited here and there were multiple rats running all across the parking lot, and all over the dumpster. They weren't even scared of cars or anything. It was disgusting and the health department needs to pay them a visit asap. DON'T EAT HERE!!!!! read more

It'a an okay carry-out just overpriced for no reason The wings are good but not the best but there mumbo sauce is on point.... & they are close not a min past 12am I mean I guess I understand due to location but only cinderella can make it here before making it back home on time read more

Soooooo.... I did a search of best mambo sauce & this, and Yums II of Northeast, showed up. Leaving Acadiana put me closer to Yums, but someone recently left a tip about them having rats so I ended up at Goodhope. Mambo sauce was NOT GOOD here. Frankly put, that sh** is nothing more than basic tangy ketchup.... not nearly the sweet & spicy delightful mambo I grew up on, and a huge waste of time locating off the path to my next destination. 2 stars are because I did not die and the sweet lady behind the bulletproof window was so sweet and patient while the lady in front of me took a pause in placing her order to yell at a homeless person asking her for change to go and sell some pus** to get money instead of begging. read more

Excellent! No complaints. Food is always good & Fresh. Everyone thought the area is alil janky.

Bad Hope Carry Out have the most unsanitary conditions inside and outside of the establishment. The kitchen is completely filthy and their customer service is the worst service I had ever encountered. They are cooking and serving food behind a bulletproof glass windows, which entails the lack of respect for our community, but they continue to make money and rip people off by serving expired food. During my first visit, the food I ordered was rubbery and overcooked. They gave me a horrible excuse as to why they would not replace my order with freshly cooked food...big disappointment. The last visit confirmed that I would no longer eat their food, or support their establishment. I found hair in my food, but they insisted it was not their hair, even after me showing them the food with the hair hanging out of it. Again, they refused to replace my order with freshly cooked food, and refused to give me a refund. I was left with no food, no money, and a second disappointed visit. They are careless and have a bad attitude...I will never trust them with cooking my food. I WILL NEVER EAT FROM GOOD HOPE CARRY OUT AND I SUGGEST THAT YOU CHOOSE ANOTHER PLACE TO EAT. read more

My brother made me want this food OMG I had 4 wings with shrimp fried rice. SO DAMN GOOD, FRESH AND HOT!!! read more

Good Hope Carry-Out - 4 wings with shrimp fried rice - Fast Food Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Had the combination fried rice and wings. It was not a good choice as the wings were clearly not fresh and rewarmed, covered in mediocre mambo sauce. That's what I get for visiting a carry out without a solid recommendation by DC natives. Not visiting again. read more

Love their chicken & mambo sauce; fried shrimp plate, shrimp with broccoli pretty much everything is amazing

If you are ever in this neighborhood, this is the best carry out in East Washington. The chicken wings and that Mumbo Sauce is the best. They have great subs too. If you want good chicken and good subs this is your spot. Good prices and ample parking. I will travel for the wings. They are always hot and fresh. read more

I'm not a big yelper but I will say that I enjoy the convenience of this Carry-Out. My family loves their wings, fried crab sticks, fried rice, and of course their fries. It's definitely comfort food but it tastes satisfying :-) read more

Now that the second generation of this hard Working family is taking over it's good to see the continuing good reviews....Believe me that's tough on this corner....Things are livelier and better lit since addition of 7-11 across the street, with predictably better police presence. Even the tight parking is a little cleaned up. That the food is pretty good speaks for itself since they have never had any delivery capacity....And it's tough to make it in SE DC without making deliveries....!!! (And it's tough as heck to MAKE deliveries....But that's a whole other story!!) Check out the lunch specials,. Wish the curry would improve...But you can't have it all and just continuty is a admirable virtue. read more

Fresh, hot, delicious food. And finally someone who makes the mumbo sauce that my husband loves. He ended up getting 3 tubs to take back home. We was there right when we opened up at 11:00am but they were late and we didn't mind at all. I heard it wasn't the best of neighborhood but it's definitely worth the risk. Whole subs, combination lo mein, 5 wings and fried rice, Rock Creek cherry and pineapple, Jesus is real! No complaints with this place at all. Just be prepared for loud ordering, a wait if you do not phone in your order and someone probably will be asking for change and/or a Newport. The one that got me was the guy that wanted to change his 4 quarters for a damn dollar, I was so confused by that. Overall this place is really good. Don't be scared try it! and don't forget that steak and cheese egg roll! *smiling* read more

Everything is better than SUNNYS (carryout down the street from this one)! the owners are nicer, food fresher, only thing, they do not deliver, and I don't like they mombo sauce (dc thing)! read more

This carryout is an Anacostia staple for sure. Always the goto for the good ole fried chicken wings and french fries with mumbo sauce. Its one of the two carryouts I eat at in the whole city. Best mumbo sauce. Same family have owned this place for years. Food always hot and ready in no time. Its been recently renovated along with the parking lot. It was much needed. It is definitely a SE landmark. read more

The Best. Each time I go there food is on point. My neighborhood carry out been going there since a kid.

Finally tried Mambo Sauce! Chicken was fresh and really good. Only draw backs were that they only except cash and are running so fast they messed up a couple of orders. read more

Good hope has continued to go downhill. They're overpriced and they charge .50 for extra mumbo sauce. The containers are so very small. U ask for it on your food and they put next ro nothing on your food forcing you to purchase extra. I've given up and will never patronize this u sanitary business again read more

Area skeptical and food as well. I ordered the general tso chicken and my husband ordered chicken wings. It took longer than most carryouts to get my food. It wasn't even that great me the chicken wasn't cleaned properly if at all. read more
