    After opening our to go food from Heartys Chinese Restaurant.
    M D.

    So, the basic for take out orders is the plastic containers must fit, primarily the lid for your entree. But it didn't and that should have been clear to the person packing the food to go for our pick up. We ordered chicken and vegetables and a shrimp dish. The food was normal. It would have warranted a 2.5. When we travelled home only a few miles away with no tussling of the food by any standard, it had basically spilled within the bag. It ruined about one third of my dish, both had already leaked the sauce since it was not a good seal. Honestly tempted to rate it a one. Everyone knows you cannot give a customer leaky dishes to go. To add, we had asked for some extra spicy sauce which they did not provide.

    When I walked in, this place was completely empty. It made me kind of skeptical of the food or service but for those of you reading this HAVE NO FEAR!! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! Very authentic Chinese cuisine and all of it tasted great. I want to come here again to give my friends and family great Chinese food. I think the only reason why this place is empty is because of lack of marketing. I hope many people come here though because everything we ordered was tasty and the portion sizes were large. This is what we ordered: 夫妻肺片 (beef slice side dish) 重庆小面 Chong Qing Noodles (noodles with chicken) 麻辣豆花鱼 Spicy Bean Curd Fish (tofu and fish pieces) 蒜香龙利 Garlic Flounder (fried fish with onion and garlic) 干煸四季豆 Dry Fried String Beans

    If you like authentic Sichuan cuisine you need to discover this suburban gem. It is In Muddy Branch shopping center next to Lotte. Unassuming but pick from the array of dishes with noodles. We had Dan dan noodles and boiled fish. The flavor is rich and complex.

    I really wanted some Chinese spare ribs so I decided to try this place. Unfortunately I still want some bbq spare ribs. They were overcooked and had no sauce on them. The egg foo young was mostly just egg and shrimp. It was very eggy and the gravy was very thin. The tempura shrimp were just batter fried shrimp, not tempura. They are more of an American restaurant that serves some Chinese food. I wouldn't recommend going here.

    After three visits, it's clear that this restaurant is deserving of my highest rating. Some details…read morefollow: Food (5) - For example Chef's special branzino was delicious, filling, and dramatically presented on a flame tray to keep the entire serving warm. See photo. Portion is sufficient for two especially considering included vegetables. After sampling about a dozen offerings, it is safe to say we'd order any of these again, yet we are curious about the other dishes. For example, we tried the cold chili pig ear. Not knowing what to expect, we were delighted to enjoy spicy crunchy bite sized pieces as an appetizer. Not all experiments go well, but so far every dish has been a winner. Service (5): Constantly full water glass, tea refills, extra tableware, rapid delivery of dishes----nothing to complain about. We felt taken care of. Ambiance (4): It's a busy Chinese restaurant. Some tables are close to each other thus preventing discussion of any personal or sensitive topics. On the other hand, friendly comments on neighbor table dishes was enjoyable given the variety of dishes observed. "What is that?" "How's it taste?" "Wow - I want to get that next time!" "Would you take a photo of me with friends and food?" It's not required but suggest diners be prepared if they do not have a booth. Overall, a reliably good experience for families, and also some business talk. Lunch with tip averaged about $45 each but we had extra plates, tea, and some higher price items (i.e. branzino) HINT: Make a reservation. Be prepared for a full parking lot. We'll be back.

There are many menu items that I would like to try. Overall, I think it's worth a visit. It's conveniently located and the prices are fairly reasonable.

That said, I probably wouldn't come back. I felt extremely thirsty after getting home, which made me think the dishes were pretty heavy on MSG. They also forgot the wide noodles we ordered and only brought them out later. By then, they hadn't been cooked together with the tomato broth, so it completely missed the essence. In terms of value, we only ordered three set meals plus one extra wide noodles, and the total came out to over a hundred. For what we got, the value felt pretty average. We then went to another restaurant in the next day, ordered six dishes plus drinks, and still spent less --with much more variety in flavors.

They also have a classic Chinese food menu one orders à la carte, where the dishes are made to order in the staff kitchen. One of the signature dishes is their Peking Duck. We didn't get the Duck, hotpot or bbq this time. Got 3 different entrees: jumbo salt shrimp, fried bean curd with vegetables and spicy chili fish filet. The fish had plenty of chili oil, dried chili, Napa cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, bean thread noodles and scallions accompanying. Was flavorful and numbing. The tofu dish was a solid vegetarian source, with fried soy braised tofu triangles, broccoli, mushrooms s, cabbage and carrots. The best dish is their shrimp. Large prawns with the shells on were fried in salt, pepper and chili powder. The shells were crispy and edible and absorbed the flavoring well. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and succulent. Great place, will need to try other dishes.

As someone who truly loves authentic Sichuan cuisine, I came in with high expectations. Word of mouth brought me here, and I am pleasantly surprised. I knew it wouldn't be easy to find the same bold, complex flavors I was used to in Flushing and other NYC Chinatowns, but Sichuan Jin comes impressively close. I feel lucky to have a spot like this nearby. Kevin and Judy put so much care into what they do. It's the kind of place that feels both personal and consistent. My go-to dishes are the flounder with Sichuan peppercorns--satisfying and flavorful--and the eggplant with minced pork in garlic sauce, which is homey and comforting. Pro tip: skip the Americanized Chinese options and go straight for the Sichuan Specialty, Ordinary Home Style, or Chef's Specials sections of the menu. That's where this place truly shines.

But as is typical of Chinese restaurants in the DMV serving spicy food, this restaurant started out great with authentic levels of spiciness, but then severely toned down their heat level to placate the masses. Although this is a Sichuan restaurant, their shrimp dumplings (Cantonese cuisine) were very good with a thin skin. But their wonton soup was extremely below expectations to the realm of pathetic. The wontons were so tiny and mundane I could easily get larger or better wontons from a Americanized Chinese take out joint or even a run of the mill Chinese buffet. Their service also needs improvement as it took quite a while before a server arrived to greet and take our order on my last visit.
