Large quantities of kid-friendly, mediocre, bland, Chinese American food…read more As far as Chinese American restaurants go, this is a real disappointment. If you need to feed the kids in a hurry, this could fit the bill, though, but adults should look elsewhere. Recipes are uninspired, and not very spicy. Dumplings were mostly dough, and little filling. Kung pow chicken had almost as many water chestnuts as chicken. I've never seen Kung pow chicken with water chestnuts. There were no bell peppers or celery. It wasn't spicy at all. You might consider this place if you're in a hurry, and need something fast, and don't care about how the food tastes, but if you're looking for good Chinese American food, keep searching.

It was $44/person for about 33 items and came with $1 mimosas. Our servers were super attentive. They appeared out of no where whenever we needed anything, constantly taking our orders, and being super cordial. The food was great. Would totally recommend doing the full 6 Xiaochi platter to start and moving on from there. The best items we had were the spicy fried chicken and all-American burger bao buns. The beef short rib dumpling was also fire. Outside of that, the food offerings seemed a little carb heavy and decent. Would give them 5 stars if they had more protein options, but I also understand economies of scale (and people who needlessly order and then waste food aka dumbasses). We ate everything and it was the only meal-of-the-day. Will be coming back!!!

Despite the madness, the food came out surprisingly fast and everything was delicious. The gin cocktails were incredible -- honestly better than drinks we've had at some really great cocktail bars. We ordered a huge variety of appetizers and entrees, and everyone found something they loved. I ordered the Shanghai soup dumplings and the bento box, and OMG... I'm still thinking about that bento box. It came with the best sampler of appetizers plus a mochi dessert at the end. Such a fun and delicious experience, and I highly recommend ordering it. They seated our large group in a semi-private room, which made the night even better. Parking is street parking only, but it's conveniently close to several hotels. Definitely a spot we'd come back to with a group!

Months ago, my friends and…read moreI decided to order from there on a Friday, enjoying delicious Chinese food while watching a movie. We've since ordered multiple times, but the quality of the crispy beef has been inconsistent. Sometimes it scores a five, while other times it dips to a three, likely due to different chefs preparing the dish. I noticed this firsthand during my last visit when I picked up my order. Though I was excited to indulge in the crispy beef again, it turned out a bit tougher than usual. No service issues. Restaurant is clean and inviting. I'd love for TNR to refine this dish so it maintains its deliciousness consistently, as I truly enjoy it and will definitely be back for more.

I moved to Arlington and August and I've been looking for a go-to Chinese takeout place. Normally I…read moreDD from New Big Wong in DC but today I finally found a place in Arlington I love and glad it's not far from home. TNR Cafe is the ideal Chinese takeout in Arlington. Located in Courthouse near the Taco Bell Cantina and the Four Courts is TNR. I ordered beef and broccoli (came with white rice), pan-fried dumplings, and shrimp and chicken egg rolls. The beef and broccoli was great. Nice fresh slices of beef with the cooked perfectly broccoli and plenty of sauce to drizzle on my white rice. The dumpling were meh. The size and portion was good for the price but the filling was underseasoned. The egg rolls were great as well! Wish there was a little more meat but not terrible at all!

To be honest, I was not impressed with Peter Chang's when we ordered takeout from the…read moreestablishment, but this is the Chinese restaurant closest to us, when we were ordering in, this had been the default. However, my opinion changed when my wife and I dined in the restaurant for the first time. It will not be our last. What drove me to dine in was the ambience I observed when I picked up a previous takeout order. It was a really nice place, with neat décor, plenty of seating, and a serving staff that was obviously attentive. This remained my impression when we came here for the first time recently. Contrary to our takeout orders, the food blew us away when it was fresh from the kitchen. Perhaps this was because we ordered different things, or perhaps because what we ordered to-go (e.g., fried eggplant, Szechuan chicken) did not travel well. Whatever the case, but this was some of the best Chinese food we have eaten in a long time. For appetizers we ordered the puffy scallion pancake, which was fun to tear and share, and came with some very nice curry sauce or dipping. We also ordered the pork soup dumplings, which were everything you could want in a soup dumpling - piping hot with a warm, soul-soothing broth inside (but which does not travel particularly well in takeout orders). For our entrees, my wife ordered the duck fried rice. I am not the biggest fan of fried rice, but this was some of the best I ever had. The duck favor was prominent but not overwhelming and the pineapple was the best integrated I have ever experienced in a savory dish. I had leftover for lunch today and it was still quite good. I ordered the fish in chili oil, a bubbling, soupy dish covered in peppers. This was phenomenal, an excellent balance of heat, numbing, and flavor. And there was plenty of fish in the dish, as well. I will be hard pressed not to order this every time we come here in the future. We split the fried green beans (solid - crisp and well spiced), which I ate for breakfast over rice with some of the leftover fish. Again, it was still good. As my previous comments imply, serving sizes are large.

The kung pao was disappointing - it seems like it was coated in flour before cooked, so it doesn't seem as fresh and healthy as we are accustomed to.

The chicken lo mein was colorless with limp vegetables and a clear sauce - not what you'd usually expect (fried noodles with chicken and lots of vibrant veggies). The moo shi pork was 99% cabbage and 1% meat. It tasted okay but I couldn't finish one pancake worth of it before getting tired of the flavor. Our search continues...

This is an institution for Peking Duck since the 80s. Sadly, it feels like time has caught up…read more The long lines to get in is no longer there except for couple of special days. Use to not be able to get a reservation on weekend but no longer the case anymore. What went wrong? I feel like ever since the pandemic, they started to go south. The price of the duck has reached a point that is no longer affordable. All other dishes prices continued to increase even though they are always just subpar. On this most recent trip, the duck was good, the Joe-yen shrimp portion is a bit less but the price has increased. The Shiitake with baby bok choy was good but not enough Shiitake. The usually dependable Shrimp fried rice was horrible. Not stir fried completely and no wok taste. Just bland like I can cook it at home. Sadly, that will be my last visit to this institution. Their answer to slower traffic seems to be raising the price and decreasing portions. 6 fried dumplings cost $16. Almost $3 a dumpling. That is price of an entree for 6 dumplings. One last note, I tried to eat my left over duck today and they did not even pack any hoisin sauce for me! How does one eat a Peking duck with no hoisin sauces?
