    We were craving Chinese food and read good reviews about this place. It's very easy to get to from Downtown D.C. and nearby the Chinatown Metro station. The restaurant was busy but the employees kept it clean so they can bring in new customers. The dishes weee large in portion and tasted good. I felt like this place could be a little larger but it's a small hole in the wall for a good reason. I recommend this place if you are hungry and don't mind waiting a little bit for a table in the evenings for dinner.

    Big Wong is dead wrong for how they did my food. I asked to make the plate spicy. They put so much chili oil that it's barely edible. The sauce isn't even brown. It's basically red. Then they charged an extra $3 for fried rice with NO veggies in it. What the heck!

    My wife & I came here for a late dinner. The food tasted good. The service was good. The atmosphere was a bit hole in the wall. But it reminded me of my childhood in Oakland Chinatown. It was not cheap in price but it was authentic.

    New Big Wong was a total surprise for me as I was just wanting to find something quick to eat in DC Chinatown. Well looks can be decieving as this is tucked away in a downstairs basement front. Open entering in, there are many tables for you to sit down on, and generally you are served water and the menu right away. If you like chinese food, then you know what to expect here. I wanted something simple, so I got dumplings and chicken fried rice. Their fried dumplings are more of the same fare you get anywhere else. It's greasy, it's savory, and it'll keep your stomach happy. Just make sure to dip it with soy sauce. The chicken fried rice was gigantic when it came out. I think it's more of a family style dish to share with, but of course knowing me that's not something I can accomplish eating on my own. The fried rice was perfect, I don't really have much to say is, I wonder how it'd fare if I went during late night hours instead. This is a solid place to check out. I highly recommend checking this place out!

    Small, lowkey & nothing fancy but packs a mighty punch on their dishes! Hidden, in the basement of a chinatown business front...is New Big Wong. It's been around in downtown DC like forever! Be careful when driving are looking for this place because .... one blank of an eye while driving down the H Street Chinatown area, you might miss it. It's just that in assuming... especially at night. lol. The food is delicious and the prices are very good. The portions are big here too..... not to mention the meats & vegetables used are always fresh. My go to and one dish that is always on realest and that this restaurant is famous for is the "Dry Scallop Fried Rice" dish! It's one of the best. It comes in one size and is loaded with shrimp scallops crab meat ....& lot of flavor! The Peking Duck dish is another favorite of mine from this restaurant as well. On any given day, you will find the restaurant pretty crowded which is a good sign, but both carryout and dine in available if ever in the area. This restaurant tends to get a lot of Uber eats DoorDash orders I noticed as well. I definitely recommend if you're looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine and good Hong Kong fare..... that is on an American-Asian carryout vibe ..... This is your place! Most meals are roughly around $15 to $20 and the servings are huge. Worth every penny.... Go here and thank me later!

    Excellent service and very good Chinese food. They open late night so that a plus. Staff is quick and friendly. The eh don't take no bs though. Come eat and pay. Lots of party people late night enjoying their Chinese food. Big menu and cozy place. Their soy sauce chowmein is the best. I like the crispiness texture. We came here twice during our trip to DC. Late night of course. Come hungry, leave happy. One of the few places open late and is authentic.

    Perfect late night spot! Came in after a concert and ordered the lo mein, fried rice, and general tsos chicken- everything hit the spot.

    Do not sleep on the noodle soups. The portion was incredibly generous and diverse in their seafoods. I got gigantic scallops and just poached shrimp. This was a takeout order, but the noodles were just par cooked so that by the time it reached me they were still separated and bouncy. They did not skimp on the bok choy so it felt super healing to have in the colder months. And the broth was golden, clear, and incredibly umami. The delicate seafood flavor really carries this dish, and the fragrance of the white pepper really shines through. I love a classic noodle soup like this. When its this well executed, its hard to come by in DC.

    Hot & Sour Soup | 酸辣汤, wonton chips

    I was in DC with my wife for her conference. I was craving late night american style chinese food. I stumbled upon this place and it marked all the check boxes. The fried rice had plenty of scallop strands and shrimp, the beef chow fun had plently of wok hei, and the hot and sour soup was hot and sour. The mu shu chicken was really salty. Everything must have had tablespoons if msg, because I drank gallons of water when I got home, but it stands for make stuff good. It's not the best, it's not the worst. The lady there checked on us frequently. I don't know why DC chinese food is so expensive. It was like $20 a dish. That would be like 12-16 on the west coast. But whatever.

    Ok there is no utensils!! So what are we going to eat it with? Hands?? Order here through door dash. The food is not even good. The portion is too small for 20 bucks entry. No soy sauce or chili on the Steamed or Pan Fried Meat Dumpling the Wonton & Noodle Soup Hong Kong Style | 云吞面 has 4 wontons with 1 cup of soup. The Sautéed Snow Peas Leafs with Garlic 大蒜豆苗 does not taste anything and it cause 20 bucks!! Come on now!! What is this? Will not order here when I visit DC again!!

    Warning: Egg roll has shrimp & meat in it!!!! There wasn't an explanation on the menu, so I assumed it was veggie egg roll, but I was wrong. Orange chicken was delicious though!

With that, I must say that the reviews did not lie...gosh this food was AMAZING! The combination lo mein contained roasted pork, chicken, and shrimp. I added vegetables to the mix and honey, I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity (made for 3 small meals) but also the quality of the dish. The roasted pork, shrimp, and chicken was perfectly prepared and the lo mein was just right. The flavors combined together for a lite yet delectable dish and I especially loved the vegetables (bok Choy) I would absolutely order here again as long as the quality doesn't change.

I usually have to order during work hours because by the time I'm off, they're already closed. Other than that, this is easily one of my favorite spots for Chinese food.

We were like the food must be good lol When we got our food it was pretty cold. Which is weird cause they just opened. During our meal we hear screaming. It was 2 employees yelling at each other. My friends are Vietnamese and were saying that they were yelling about gambling money. It was pretty annoying and I could tell my friends were uncomfortable. But at the end is where it got really uncomfortable and awkward. The food and service was not good. So I tipped 15 percent. I should have tipped nothing but that's not me and I was in the service industry so i understand everyone has a day off. The, I assume manager or owner came up to the table and told me I'm required to tip 18 percent. I said where does it say that? He says on the receipt. I told him that says suggestions not required and that I could give him 0 tip. He proceeds to make a huge scene about the 2 extra bucks I need to pay. I finally cave because my friends were very very uncomfortable. As we leave my friend said the guy was a talking shit in Vietnamese to his employees about us. My recommendation is to go somewhere else. This was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and all over 2 dollars that they didn't deserve. I see why they have a low yelp review.

    My first dim sum experience and Han Palace did not disappoint!…read more I visited Han Palace in Barracks Row for the first time and tried their all-you-can-eat dim sum. They offer Option A for $38 and Option B for $48 with Option B including additional dishes like General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, and more. We chose Option B and ordered a little bit of everything! Our table was filled with fried and steamed dumplings, bao buns, General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, vegetable fried rice, and several soups. The beef brisket soup was one of my favorites and the fish dish we tried was also really good. Everything came with flavorful sauces that made each dish even better. The cocktails were also a highlight. I had a refreshing lychee cocktail (I unfortunately don't remember the name) and it had the perfect balance, not watered down and actually had a good kick! They also offer a bottomless all-you-can-drink option for $18, which is a great add-on if you plan to stay and enjoy the experience. The service was great, the team came back around often to check on you and provide refills and take your next round of orders for the all-you-can-eat. The food came out fast as well, it was as if they were just continuously cooking it. Overall, I really enjoyed trying so many different dishes, especially as someone new to dim sum. It's a fun option for groups because there's so much variety to share. Would absolutely go back! I've already recommended Han Palace to friends and will definitely be back the next time I'm in D.C.!

Advice: sitting outside might be better in the cooler weather because we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes and fighting off flies. I really hope that they consider some type of nature oils near the tables to help guests feel more comfortable outdoors. Also, it would help to get more than one fan. Hospitality: aside from the bugs encounter, I would say that we did not have reservations (they were packed inside) so the hostess was nice enough to accommodate us outdoor. Our waiter, Anthony was a ball of energy and he really understands the dishes and was able to give great recommendations, some of which we plan to try on our next visit. Portions: the dishes are shareable so we only ordered the beef noodles and walnut shrimp and both were more than enough for a party of 2. DRINKS: I ordered the dark and stormy which can best be described as not too sweet and perfect for anyone desiring a well balanced drink. The bourbon smash was also really good. Well balanced with a smoky flavor which I loved. FOOD: Beef noodles- gosh this was so divine! Be warned however, there is a bit of spice to it but nothing that you won't be able to handle. I think the spices paired with the preparation of the noodles and the beef all made this dish memorable. Walnut shrimp- another memorable dish which came with a side of white rice. The shrimps were HUGE! But the flavors on each shrimp paired with that crunchy texture and creamy sauce, spectacular!

I don't even know how to describe the energy in this place, but you can just feel it the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a dark aesthetic that gives it such a cool, cozy ambiance. My daughter and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons. Everything was so filling that we ended up ordering another bowl of the Dan Dan noodles! And honestly, I still crave them. The Dan Dan noodles were SO good. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy, and there was a generous amount of minced pork that balanced everything out really well. The wontons paired perfectly with the chili sauce that came with them! They were spicy--my ears turned red and my nose started running--but I literally could not stop going back for another bite. Even the wontons alone were incredibly filling. I don't live anywhere near this place, and I genuinely wish I did. I traveled pretty far to get here, and I'd absolutely do it again. This was one of those meals that stays on your mind long after you've left!
