Also ordered shrimp lo mein...but that was just lo mein with some large shrimp added to the top. I was expecting the shrimp to be mixed in. The portion sizes where huge so even thought the lo mein wasn't as expected I would still give 5 stars for the tastiness and size for the price. None of the food was too oily and I definitely appreciated that. Lastly, they asked me if I would like some plates, which was absolutely needed since I was going to be eating on the go and the portions were huge.

Hong Kong Palace is honestly fantastic. I think a lot of the negative reviews are just wrong…read more I only got two dishes, but that was more than enough for ~$32. The prices are quite good and the portions are generous. I had a full second meal the next day without trying. I got the Yangzhou fried rice and it was very well executed. The meat inside was excellent, with what tasted like lap cheong or a similar Chinese sausage. The egg was fluffy, not burnt, nicely moist, and evenly distributed. Everything tasted fresh and balanced, with real depth of flavor. This is fried rice done properly. The other dish was listed as spicy fried chicken or something, though it was basically a la zi ji. It was excellent. I loved the peppers, and the spices were very aromatic. The frying was done well, clearly cooked in plenty of oil, so not exactly light food, but extremely satisfying. The chicken was crisp and flavorful, and the overall execution was strong. The food came out fast, the prices were low, and the quality was high, and service was good. This is an authentic Hong Kong-style place, not fancy or polished, but clearly focused on getting the food right. Five stars. I definitely want to come back.

Full of ginger flavor and remained crispy even after a couple of hours It's pretty expensive, but the portions are big. They will try to upsell you by suggesting more dishes to order, but 3 dishes per 4-5 people are plenty.

It's expensive and definitely a meal for multiple people (yet somehow I managed to get a good portion of it in one shot) but oh-so-worth-it. I visited on a late Sunday afternoon yet it was still reasonably busy. I love the huge number of photos of famous politicians and generals (the Pentagon isn't too far away) and I figured to myself ; "If it's good enough for President Bush, good enough for me!". Cutting up the duck is something of a show in itself. Most of my photos didn't come out great, but my server had obviously done this hundreds of times. He knew exactly how to slice and dice, then lay out the tiny bread pancakes like they were on display. That was a treat in itself.

The food was beyond flavorful regardless of what we ordered [and we ordered a ton if you didn't see before].

For a group of 6 we split the bill to be $30/per person and we still had food to take home as left overs! Service: nothing out of this world because girl they are BOOKED & BUSY.

Easy to slurp down and the broth was drinkable! They also hid a generous amount of veggies underneath the noodles. - salt and pepper squid: these were probably the crispiest thing I've ever bitten into. I swear the whole restaurant could hear my bite. So good! The crispy bits were perfect on my white rice too. - BBQ potatoes: yum!!! A must get. - steamed pork slices with preserved veggies: the pork belly was crazy tender (like kakuni), and the veggies were really tasty too. - brown sugar ice jelly: a very refreshing, not too sweet, your grandma would approve kind of dessert. A must get. They give enough to share! Service and ambiance is nothing to write home about, this is the kind of hole in wall spot that prioritizes delicious food. 10/10 no notes WILL DEFINITELY RETURN!

I hadn't visited since 2021, but I recently stopped in to order the wonderful steamed dumplings I used to enjoy. Instead, I paid $2.00 each for small, flavorless dumplings, and even the dipping sauce was disappointingly bland. I can honestly find better dumplings in the frozen food aisle of a grocery store. According to an article I found online, Mrs. Ann Troung owned and ran Peking Pavilion until it was sold to her nephew. It may be time for Mrs. Troung to return and offer guidance to the new owner, because the restaurant is unlikely to survive if it continues to serve overpriced, uninspired food.

A Chinese review: some of the worst dim sum I've ever had and the staff is racist…read more A friend and i went for a late lunch today. My friend is craving dim sum after being in the country, visiting from Hong Kong for 3 weeks. My friend is quite tan, his mom is Filipino, but he grew up in HK and speaks mostly canto and Tagalog. We tried speaking Cantonese to the staff who are speaking it to each other, so they clearly can. My friend has perfect Cantonese. Mine is ok but I am also very clearly Chinese. They replied in broken English instead. One waitress looked at my friend and handed us forks. So clearly, some racism/colorism in the staff. Context: lots of Filipinos in HK are maids and generally looked down on, so not surprised this happened here. The food was mushy and gross. The shrimp in the cheung fan was grayish. It felt like they had this ready early in the morning and reheated it for later. Siu mai was falling apart. Cha siu bao was good but how do you mess that one up? I've gotten take out from this place before in the past and I always forget why I try to not come here, they forget something every time. At this point I'm sure they're doing it on purpose, like little thieves. Anyway, this place has the advantage of being close, with so little dim sum options in the area, unless you want to make the trip to Tysons or Vienna. Or Maryland. One staff member was laying down on a bunch of chairs nearby loudly watching something on her phone. Any other day, I wouldn't complain about that, everyone deserves a break. But given the food quality and the clear racism in the staff, they should be called out for everything. As with any Asian restaurant, feel free to treat me like trash if the food is good. But this place fails in both places.

I ordered all my usual favorites: sautéed black bean clams, beef chow fun, salty fish fried rice, crab soup, and deep-fried seafood. I was super excited to eat here again since they had been closed for renovations for a while, but honestly... every dish was disappointing. I'm not sure if they changed the recipes or got a new chef, but the food just didn't taste the same. The salty fish fried rice was way too salty. I know it's salted fish fried rice, but it tasted more like straight salt than actual flavor!! The deep-fried seafood came out soggy, and the beef chow fun was just okay. Miu Kee was one of my favorite childhood restaurants, so this was kind of a sad bad experience for me. I haven't gone back since, and I honestly don't know if I will.

Mango cashew slaw ($11) has a nice spicy warmth to it. The Chinese chive dumplings (2, $6) had a nice crunch. We also got a beer ($9). A nice canned and bottled beer selection. We also got the Thai beignets dessert. 3-4 dim sum items is a full meal for a couple unless you're *really* hungry. Will definitely return. You should go. Now.

There is plenty of seating that is spacious and well setup, tables are not squished together where you feel as though you have no space to eat. The restaurant is located in a shopping center with many other retailers, so parking is a non issue. I always appreciate good food that is easily accessible without struggling to find parking while out and about with two young kids. We ordered various items from the menu: - Chicken Leg Noodle Soup - My kids loved this. The soup is flavorful and portions are large so perfect to split among two kids. - Pork Soup Dumplings - Solid option, soup broth inside the dumplings was delicious. - Scallion Pancakes - Deliciously fried to perfection. It comes cut into slices, making it easily shareable for the table. - Cucumber with Garlic - Simple dish, but the garlic sauce really makes it memorable. The staff here were great, they were extra mindful of dish placement near my young kids which I really appreciated. All items came out quickly and just as requested. I have visited other locations throughout the DMV and this location was consistent with what I experienced at other locations... friendly staff and delicious food all at a reasonable price. I would definitely come back again if I was in the area :)

For a self-proclaimed Chinese food snob, that kind of consistency across locations isn't just appreciated -- it's rare. This is the place I bring family and friends visiting from out of town when I need to guarantee both quality and a good time. No hesitation, no asterisks. That's a short list. The menu hits two lanes perfectly: bold, soul-warming noodle soups and dry noodles loaded with zesty mix-ins that slap just as hard. The flounder with sour pickled cabbage noodle soup is the move if you want something that's simultaneously bright, funky, and deeply comforting. The spicy beef brisket in golden soup is pure richness -- the kind of broth you'd drink straight if no one was watching. On the dry noodle side, the Chongqing dry noodles bring the heat and the complexity you want from that style. Don't sleep on the small eats. The scallion pancakes and soup dumplings are legitimately all-star -- not afterthoughts, not filler. One pro tip: pay attention to the rotating specials once you've locked in your favorites. And you will have favorites. Probably after visit one. Casual setting, family-friendly vibe, top-tier food. Yu Noodle earns a permanent spot on the short list.
