Hot Peppercorn is old school Chinese dining at it's finest…read more Think lazy susans, communal bowls of shrimp wonton soup, pan fried noodles, salt and pepper pork chops, crispy beef, dim sum, and more. There is nothing fancy here, just heaps and heaps of steaming food over long conversations with family. Pricing is affordable, place is clean, service is friendly. They even have a little fish pond which is great for entertaining children while your food is coming out. Hope this place stays around forever.

With a name like Hot Peppercorn, I was expecting some fiery Sichuan food for dinner. The dumplings…read morein hot oil were more like dumplings in mildly spicy water. The sesame noodles were just lo mein noodles with a tiny drizzle of sauce and a few sesame seeds, no real flavor except dough. The Chongqing chicken had some pieces that were refrigerator-level cold, the chiles had just been dumped on top and not stir-fried with the chicken, and there were zero Sichuan peppercorns, so not mala at all. The chicken fried rice and the scallion pancakes were overcooked, and there was no sauce with the pancakes. Asked for utensils and hot oil, received neither.

House of Dynasty - Consistently Outstanding Since 1999 I…read morehave never--and I mean never--had a bad experience, bad meal, or any issue at House of Dynasty. I've been going here since 1999, and the consistency is unmatched. I can pick up the phone, place my order, get in the car, and the food is ready every single time. No waiting, no confusion--perfect timing, always. The quality is excellent, and that says a lot because I am very picky. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and prepared exactly right. It's rare to find a place that delivers this level of reliability year after year. House of Dynasty sets the standard. If you're looking for great food, flawless service, and total peace of mind, this is the place.

This was my second time ordering the Hot & Sour Soup, and somehow it managed to fail in two…read morecompletely opposite ways. The first time, it was overwhelmingly vinegary. This time? Absolutely no flavor at all. It's especially disappointing because this used to be my go-to spot for this soup, but clearly the consistency is gone. I'll be looking elsewhere now. I also tried the Velvet Chicken with Scallops and Shrimp for the first time, and that was another letdown. The sauce was bland and forgettable, adding nothing to the dish. The spring rolls were fine--edible, but nothing memorable or worth ordering again.

We stayed right across from this Chinese take out and decided to give it a try…read more I asked for the Chicken Lo Mein to be made low sodium, low oil and they did.

We loved everything we had: sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, white rice, and chicken lo mein. It was amazing... Bonus: We loved that the portions were basically shareable for the table. We had plenty leftovers for a late dinner and lunch the next day. It was quiet when we went on Sunday afternoon, but definitely have to go back for the food. Service was great!!! Our waitress was fun, hospitable, and ON IT!! She helped box our food and all. Such a nice and affordable experience. We will certainly make our way back to this place for Chinese food in the future. Better than what we've had locally in a bit. (TOTALLY RECOMMEND)

Some of their unique offerings that are popular by locals are the Pepper Duck and Ginger Chicken.

I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and it was entirely too oily and the serving size was too small for how much it costs.

The staff were great and the prices are reasonable but food was ok compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Overall they are doing something right to draw a crowd on a Monday but this place isn't for me. That's just my opinion.

We have served takeout from here to US Ambassadors, and with nothing but compliments :) Super clean, super high quality food for the price point, run by polite, efficient and friendly employees who demonstrate real love and care for their customers and the restaurant. It shows! The weekday lunch combo specials are the real star here-for $10-$12, choose an egg roll or spring roll (or can soda), your choice of entree plus a side (white/brown/plain fried rice, can upgrade the side to things like pork lo mein, house fried rice etc for a max of $5.95 currently) A lunch special will legitimately feed me 3 or 4 times for the price of a fast food value meal, and it has veggies so I feel less guilt, haha If you select delivery, do it on their own website and opt for their own delivery to further support this gem of a small business!! If you pop into ABC or Giant, call here to place an order when you pull up, and it'll be ready by the time you finish your other errand. Don't forget them when you're sick-their egg drop soup will cure a cold quicker than chicken noodle soup! They are reliably quick, and reliably error free, you can count on them for an awesome lunch option or a nicer dine in dinner with real ambience. Just an awesome little spot While I was getting takeout alone today, sometimes I have my 97 year old Grandma with me, and they lovingly treat my grandma as if she were their grandma, too!

I knew it was going to be good when they brought the food out on paper plates…read more This is one of those hole-in-the wall treasures you see in the strip mall and go "I guess I'll give it a try". The service was exceptional, even giving suggestions on what we might like based on what we ordered. For 2 adults, we ordered a plate of pork lo mein, General Tso chicken (comes with white rice), crab rangoons, and a small cup of egg drop soup. We also got two bottled drinks. In total, $40. Not bad for the DMV, you don't find that often. Our rangoons & soup came out quick and fresh. They even threw in 2 spring rolls on the house. Soon after, out entrees came out and WOW. The serving sizes were insane. You don't find portions like that anymore. I enjoyed that this restaurant didn't focus on fancy plates & bowls, and extravagant decor. A paper plate & plastic fork don't matter when you're eating full portions of absolutely delicious food. We will be back!

We got General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, Crab Rangoon, string beans, pan‑fried dumplings, chicken wings, and crispy beef. Everything was absolutely delicious, and everyone loved the meal! Even though the chicken wings were delivered, they still stayed perfectly crispy. The kids especially enjoyed them. All portions were very generous and satisfying. To make it even better, the restaurant owner kindly gave us free spring rolls as a nice surprise. We really appreciate the great food and thoughtful service! Highly recommend this place.

Service Every time I have been here, I have always been greeted with a smile, the staff works collaboratively to ensure you are served well throughout your meal.

Unfortunately, the service and overall experience made this visit more frustrating than enjoyable. The ordering system relies on large self-serve screens which would be fine if the interface were clear. Several items weren't explained well, and it was hard to tell exactly what I was selecting. I tried to get assistance, but the staff member on duty had headphones in and was watching something on his phone. Even after waving to get his attention, he didn't notice. When my food finally came out, it was delivered to the wrong table before making it's way back to me. The food isn't bad but it's more of a fast food style and I wish it were fresh. Overall, I won't be rushing back. Not because of the food but because the service and ordering process made the visit more stressful than it needed to be.

My sister got the Mango Snow- SO GOOD. A customer recommended we try the Biscoff cream. Sis found it too sweet and I found it good and sweet. It's not on the menu behind the counter, but they'll know what you mean. You should try it. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. The restaurant is clean and well-lit with booths and tables. It's in a busy strip mall, but there's plenty of parking. I'll be back.
