Flew into town for a concert and saw this at the top of the recommendations, very serendipitous!…read more The place has a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in, the decor has a unique kitsch and the music is a definite vibe as well, and that's before you meet the staff.

The food was great, we had rangoons for an appetizer, followed by their famous General Tso's and the Mongolian Combination, all delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

This adventitious find popped up on my way out of the city. In general, the outer suburbs are…read morebetter for Chinese food than DC itself, so I gave them a shot. My takeout was ready in timely fashion, and there was definitely some quality there. My kung pao tofu was a little sweet as the dish normally is, but also amply spicy as I requested and came with plenty of peanuts, extra-crispy tofu, and a few other vegetables. Lo mein was a fairly straightforward soy-garlic affair, though I must say I appreciated the option to add some tofu to that as well. My spring rolls came sauceless and were fairly basic and cabbage-y, but a decent way to round out a meal. I appreciated their thorough vegetarian labeling; of course some things were not available to me that I wish they would make vegetarian, but the most important thing is being able to make informed decisions. I skipped the ma po tofu this time, but they claim it offers genuine numbing sensations and they did enough to convince me that it might be worth coming back to try.

Sadly, I found out even before ordering that its original owner Louis Cheng recently retired and sold the restaurant to new ownership. The food was so-so but it was definitely not as good as I remember - the boiled fish in was definitely different versus what it was previously. Instead of spicy and fragrant peppercorns in oil, it was a simple sauce and cornstarch, very little heat and pretty generic. The other dishes didn't have the fiery wok taste that they used to and it felt more like an average Chinese food restaurant versus one that's more authentically Szechuan. Not bad food by any means, but less spice and more generic. Maybe it's a decision by new management to make it more mass appealing, but I was sad that it was sold and doesn't feel like the same place.

The highlight of the meal was the spectacular tableside Flambé dessert--it was both delicious and a fun experience. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The owners were also warm and welcoming, adding to the wonderful dining experience.

BEST CHICKEN ADOBO EVER: If you're looking for authentic Filipino flavors that hit all the right…read morenotes--savory, tangy, and perfectly balanced--this is the place to go. The chicken adobo here is tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, but the real star is the sauce. It's the most flavorful adobo sauce I've ever had--rich, garlicky, with just the right balance of soy sauce and vinegar, plus a slight sweetness that I absolutely loved. You'll be craving it long after your meal, and trust me, it will bring you back for more. But that's not all! We also tried their Shrimp Kalabasa, and it was just as incredible. The shrimp were plump and juicy, the kalabasa (pumpkin) was soft and naturally sweet, and the green beans added the perfect crunch. The sauce tied everything together beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. Despite the humble appearance of this restaurant in the Food Court, the chef here is top-rate--every dish is packed with bold, authentic flavors that stand out. Service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Next time, I'm definitely trying their sisig--if it's anything like the dishes I had, I already know it's going to be amazing!

The pinakbet was also really good. The veggies were fresh, not overcooked in the slightest. Nothing was greasy. I would absolutely come here again!

So far, the spring rolls, the pho-nomenal, and caramelized fish are all 5/5 taste wise. Wow! The place is quite polished ready to serve business lunch and dinner dates.

The staff is really nice and friendly and I already know what to order for my next few visits. Parking may be a challenge but it's not really a busy area. If you cannot get street parking, there are parking lots within walking distance either to the left or right side of the restaurant.

Ordered extra broccoli, which cost $3.90, and only got 5 pieces (2 of them are not in the picture). The broccoli in my general tso's chicken was practically raw, and there was hardly any sauce. The sauce, chicken, and broccoli were flavorless. The Thai basically chicken was also flavorless, and the chicken was slimy. Both of the sauces were water consistency. Also ordered extra duck sauce, didn't even get 1. Their Thai iced tea is watered down and again, bland. Their sushi is the only decent thing on the menu, but even that isn't the best quality.

I asked how long a General Tsos order would take to make. The receptionist told me 10 minutes or less. So I place the order and pay $20 after tax. The food was sweet with a noticeable kick of red pepper. I did notice the pan-Asian menu... and maybe this is a good option for a nice dinner for a special occasion, but I don't think I'll be able to afford this place as my go to Chinese take out joint.

Appetizer platter is a good option if you don't know what to get. The panda crème brûlée was good, but I barely tasted the pandan.

I ordered the tornado omurice, and it was alright. It's just a bit too bland for my taste. It honestly feels like it's on the menu more for how pretty it looks in photos than for the actual flavor.

It's been slow every time I've gone. It takes a long time to even get a waiter's attention and then the food comes out like 20+ minutes later. They only came to get my order and after getting my food, it takes forever to find someone to get the check.
