    Crab Rangoon, Pork fried rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Vegetable Mei Fun.
    Chelsea H.

    This was my first time into the restaurant and it's very cozy and quaint. The woman who helped us was so kind and wonderful! The food was 10/10, you can definitely tell it was fresh, not to mention there was not a long wait at all. We got there around 6:30ish and food came out by 6:45ish. Totally worth it! Make sure you go and try it!!!

    Ordered their food for my daughters at home party lol

    Soooooo I'm Chinese and Filipino and I rarely ever order Chinese food because if your Asian it's so hard to trust good carry out places. Spring Garden in Germantown was my go to but they closed. I wanted to get some carry out for my daughters birthday and I ordered like 4-5 items. The lady over the phone was very pleasant and nice. When I came there to pick my food up she was nice as well. I told her I don't order Chinese food like that so I hope it's good lol and she said I hope you come back. The food is the typical carry out tasting beef and broccoli and orange chicken and lo Mein. There fried chicken and friend rice wasn't good to me. The last carry out I went to, to get Mumbai sauce and fried chicken was Kenny's and I think I might just stick with Kenny's instead of this place. My mom wasn't impressed but it was decent. They have seating inside the place if you want to sit in. But they get 3 stars because the food is good enough to finish it and the customer service is on POINT! Very friendly compared to most places. And plenty of parking

    I ordered on Christmas Eve for lunch. It got here in a flash! 1.99 delivery thru yelp/Grubhub. The food was hot, flavorful and really enjoyed it! Order consisted of egg drop soup, chicken chow fun (plenty veggies in it), chicken lomein, steamed dumplings, and fried chicken wings. Take it from a New Yorker food was very good. I've tried Chinese various times in this area and always disappointed. Hunan has a believer in me and I will order again soon. Top notch delivery too! Thank you and happy holidays.

    Yum. Beef in black bean sauce chow fun!  Reminds me of a great place off Shattuck Ave in Berkeley.

    This was not really a fair test as I ordered "off the menu", choosing an item they did not "have"; Beef in black bean sauce chow fun (big wide flat rice noodles). Tender beef slices, carrots, zucchini, cabbage and onion all mixed in black bean sauce and chow fun. It was good but not great. Needed more black bean paste/salty flavor to be really good. This place is BUSY, lots of take out orders. Free hot tea and regular water too, which I like. Good prices. I'll eat here again next time I am in the area.

I won't order again. I couldn't find anything to like about it. The texture was gooey, the flavor was a no. I'm calling a redo because of this one. Maybe mix with a lot of rice people like it? Tofu skin salad (cold) - my daughter really likes it. i can have a few bites but its not my favorite. Sichuan popcorn chicken - perfection. it's popcorn chicken. Scallion Bubble pancake - order every time. its huge comes with a vegan dipping sauce. easily enough for 3-4 people.

Was feeling hangry because I had planned on stopping at Hard Times for a bowl of chili -and found out they were closed on Mondays. So, pretty much pulled a name out of a hat and would up at Chuan Tian Xia because, well, Szechuan cooking uses chiles, no? Yesssss! I ordered Signature Dumplings and a bowl of Beijing-style Beijing-style Zhajiang Noodles. The dumplings were outstanding: a mix of shrimp, pork, and chive that were plump, juicy, fragrant with the herbaceous flavor of chives. The accompanying sauce was not too sweet, not too hot, just right as a complement to the dumplings. Yowza. I was a happy camper... ...and then I dug into my noodles. Double yowza! Thick wheat noodles topped with a rich sauce made from (I think) fermented soybean paste and braised pork belly, garnished with cucumbers. The portion was way to big for me to eat after my flight, but I really, really enjoyed it (and the remaining dumplings) for lunch today. Did I say yowza? I'm an adventurous eater so the menu's less Americanized items were what I would have ordered given more time (like Maoxuewang: can you say "pig's tongue, spam, pork intestine, and beef tripe"? Protein is protein, baby!). Just means I need to come back, and I will, as quickly as I can.

    This seems like a brand new opened spot that I wanted to try but when I asked my waiter he said…read morethey've been open for about 3 years. I got in there and the place was empty and I had to practically yell "excuse me" and someone came out to seat us. The old restaurant was a personal Hotpot place and the new restaurant didnt change the tables or the plates or practically anything so I was a little confused. We ordered and the waiter was super nice and helpful. He suggested good dishes to try and explained that each dish you order comes with a bowl of rice. When the food cane out we were shocked by the portion size. It was way bigger than we were expecting. The flavor of the food was good but a little messy. One dish we ordered was a little bland and the other 2 were pretty salty if not eaten with rice. The fish was not as crispy on the outside as I thought it would be but the inside was super tender and cooked very well. The color wasnt right but the flavor was there. It could've used a little more seasoning on top but it was good either way. The chicken we ordered was extremely spicy, which I liked, but it was pretty spicy. The pork we ordered was okay. It wasnt super authentic because they didnt cut the meat correctly but the flavor was there. Altogether I liked this restaurant and the prices were extremely fair considering their portion size. I would come here again to try the other dishes they have.

Don't let yourself get fooled by the slightly random /…read morenonsensical name (even the Chinese name makes no sense to me -- what on earth does "no second / two house / family" mean?); B2J Fish Soup is home to one some of the best authentic Chinese food in the DMV. As the name implies, they specialize in fish soup, particularly a hot and sour pickled fish soup (suan cai yu) that originates from Sichuan. This dish was one of my childhood favorites, and B2J did an incredible job crafting a deeply flavorful soup that transported me right back to my family's kitchen. The soup is served in the largest bowls I've ever seen and absolutely loaded with pickled veggies and tender, flaky fish that completely soaks up all the spicy and sour flavor. I appreciate that the soup isn't overly spicy or salty, so it's possible to drink the actual soup instead of just fishing out its fillings, and it goes great with the side of white rice. Their meal combo options also come with several appetizers of choice so, in addition to the delightful suan cai yu, we also got the fried milk custard and wood ear mushroom salad. The salad was super refreshing, with a great crunch from the wood ear mushrooms and red onions. The dressing was mostly vinegar and chili-based, so it was sour, spicy, salty, and slightly sweet. It was a delightful precursor to the spicy and sour fish soup, and the leftovers also kept incredibly well over the next couple of days. The fried milk custard was a great appetizer but made an even better dessert; the milk was gooey and melty, and the fried outer shell was perfectly crispy. It was such a delightful combination of flavors and not overly sweet. This hidden gem is quite quaint, but they managed to fit a decent amount of seating inside, with several long tables lining each side of the restaurant and a narrow aisle in between. The seats are comfy and, while the tables are quite close together, there's still enough space to feel like you have a bit of privacy / separation from the other diners. I love the little bamboo light fixtures, and one of their back walls has a little semi-circle design that looks like fish scales, adding to the fun, fish-themed ambiance.

We loved the classic flavor- just enough spicy ( plenty enough for me), to make it not overwhelm the fish and still has a good kick. We did try their spicier one - that was too much spicy in our opinion, but the level of spiciness is a personal preference. Their non- spicy tomato base is also very good! The fish itself- not fishy at all. Very fresh, goes very well with the soup. The sauerkraut is very flavorful and enhances the experience well, not overpowering anything. It all goes in harmony to creat a great experience! Loved their cold spicy chicken as an appetizer and the cucumber salad with peanuts were very well received. And one more thing - their rice - is SO good! Yeah, odd thing to specifically mention rice of any Asian restaurant- this is my first as well! But their rice was just that good!
