Bi-Partisan Chicken Soup
Brittney M.

Prescription Chicken was recommended to me by a friend when I needed it most! Even being sick the soup was flavorful and seasoned to perfection! The matzo ball soup was a unexpected spin on the classic recipe. I love that you can get the soup ready to eat or frozen for another time! The service was quick and helpful in helping me make a decision on what to get! It's a come as you are ambiance ! Will definitely be back!

Grandma's style with noodles

Ordered. Scooped. Made it home. And it's delicious! Full of chicken and the good stuff aka veggies and some noodles. It wasn't overly salty which I was afraid it would be. And I'm on the mend from this cold because of the soup... it's delicious, hearty, and reasonably priced for fresh-made soup!

Bipartisan chicken soup

My friend and I didn't know what we were in the mood for, but when we ordered Prescription Chicken, it hit the spot. We both ordered the Bipartisan chicken soup and side challah and both were delicious. The soup portion is huge, much bigger than I was expecting, but it was so good that we both ate the whole thing in one sitting. The ratio of noodles and matzah balls to chicken and veggies was perfect, and there was plenty of broth to enjoy with every bite and still have some leftover. And the side challah was the perfect size and very buttery, I definitely recommend dipping it in the soup and eating it that way. It's a great matzah ball soup, highly recommend!

TL;DR: Consistently great soup every time! Highly recommend for hungover or sick days. This place is my go-to spot for ordering soup whenever I need some warm comfort. The quality is consistently excellent, whether you order through Uber Eats or DoorDash. They also offer some challah bread options, but I definitely recommend the soup over the bread. P.S. I was sick one day, and my partner had this delivered to me while he was at work. The "Get Better" package (or any of the other packages they offer) was a thoughtful touch and warmed my heart!

LOVE their soup. I have it delivered regularly. I mix the chicken pot pie with onion soup and it's amazing. Just got an order delivered and the containers are considerably smaller and no change in price. Not cool!

Prescription Chicken and Astro Doughnuts Fall is finally here, and you can feel it in the air! I turned on my heat. It is the perfect time to start eating all those foods that provide you comforts- such as soup and donuts! Actually, it is always a good season for doughnuts (insert Homer Simpson's drooling face here!) Fortunately enough, I won Prescription Chicken's 5-year birthday giveaway last month! It came with a delicious way to get warm-up and to end that warmth on a sweet note. I won two containers of soup: Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup Grandma Matzah Ball Chicken Soup The soup is low in calories and fat (if that is something you track). I was impressed with how low the sodium is. I rarely eat premade soup because it usually has a lot of salt. High blood pressure runs in my family, and I usually make soup myself for that reason. However, that isn't an issue with Prescription Chicken. A serving of the matzah ball soup is 380 mg of sodium, which is about 17% of the total amount of sodium the average person should have per day. The ingredients were all things I could pronounce. I could easily attempt to make it based on the ingredient list. The matzah balls were light, fluffy, and delicious. Purchase from their DC location and delivery via @ubereats, @postmates, @doordash. @caviar, and Grubhub.

I did not have the greatest experience. I wasn't greeted when I walked in. And the person behind the counter did not speak English. Another young girl came and said "name for your order". I asked if the took cash and she just pointed to the tablet on the counter. I ordered the chicken faux pho. It was not good. Also seems way over priced for soup. $15 for a terrible experience. I won't be back.

Two ginger ales, two salted chocolate chip cookies and my soups: chickenless noodle soup and ramen(ish)
Stacy W.

My mom ordered me a little snack kit from here because I'm not feeling well. She got me two ginger ales, two salted chocolate chip cookies, a chickenless soup and the ramen(ish) soup. The chocolate chip cookies are delicious. Unlike other reviews, I can taste the salt on mine and I like it. They're yummy. The chickenless soup is bland. No worries though. Just add some spices and I'm sure all will be well. I tried the broths of each soup to decide which I wanted to eat first. I chose the ramen. The broth is so flavorful and yummy. The chicken was a little hard and the color was grey for whatever reason. I still ate it and it was a little dry but it's fine. I wasn't expecting the matzah ball in the ramen and it was so yummmmmy. I've never had it before and was sad when there was only one in there. I need some more of those. Also the noodles in the ramen were sticky and stuck together. Kinda like they stayed in the pot too long and started to meld together. It's not gourmet by any means but it's good. It's the thought that counts. Next time I'm ordering more cookies, all the matzah balls and I wanna try some of the broths too.

Wow!....I totally was not expecting this!! This is some really good chicken soup!!! And, to finish it all off with tasty doughnuts from Astros Fried Chicken & Doughnuts all rolled into one shop....who can ask for anything more!!? I came here after having a craving for soup for lunch--HOT Chicken Noodle Soup in the middle of this week's heat wave at that! Yeah, I know...call it an odd craving...hot soup on the middle of the DC summer heat....over ice cream, popsicles or anything for that matter to just to stay cool...is an unusual desire. To my surprise though, I found exactly what I was looking for. A spicy, flavorful soup called the Spicy Hangover Chicken Soup! It was the perfect concoction of tender chicken, satisfying bright broth, and fresh vegetables dancing together with flavorful matzah balls! It was not too salty, had just the right kick of spice, and a perfect light lunch. In a nutshell, it was "sooooo damn good." With each bite, I found myself enjoying the flavors of the soothingly delicious soup and it was so comforting. The only downside was, I wish I had more to enjoy as I was surfing the last remaining scoops of the container with my spoon. I opted for the matzoh balls option over the noodles....and they did not disappoint. They were light, fluffy and delicious! I also tried the Turkey Cheddar Slider. It was okay (nothing special), but complimented the soup well. In all, this was a pleasant surprise and find in the Shaw neighborhood. I definitely know who I will be hitting up.....if I find myself under the weather or craving some good ol' fashioned soup again...especially during the fall/winter seasons. As some folks mentioned, the price point is a bit steep, but it is so worth it! You can't compare the quality and homemade LOVE put into this soup....to a can of Campbell's or shelf bought chicken soup!! I highly recommend!

It was perfectly crispy, light, and flavorful--both my husband and I really enjoyed it. The curry chicken was decent. My husband loved it, but I thought it was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly memorable either. As for the stir-fried noodles, they were average and didn't leave much of an impression. Unfortunately, what really changed our overall experience wasn't the food--it was the service at the end of the meal. When it was time to pay, my husband used his card but intended to leave the tip in cash. As the waitress was processing the payment, she said, "You know the tip is not included." It wasn't what she said, but how she said it. It came across as if she was demanding a tip rather than providing the kind of service that would naturally earn one. The interaction left us feeling uncomfortable and ended the meal on a disappointing note. Because of that experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. Chinatown has plenty of other restaurants that offer not only better food but also friendlier, more welcoming service.

I sat outside on the patio. To start, I got the calamari appetizer. Yall! Their calamari is so freakin good! The remoulade sauce that comes with it just takes it to the next level. I got the crab cake entree and it was just what I needed. I recommend replacing the tartar sauce with their remoulade sauce. The Tea Time mocktail was very refreshing. The service was good. The only downside is that there was an issue with the gift card that I won from their social media page. After some back and forth, they eventually honored it and all was well.

She changed the reservation, added a birthday note, and wished my boyfriend a Happy Birthday. I later had the pleasure of meeting Raven Jones! The "hostest with the mostest". Raven was funny, kind, helpful, and friendly! Gave us a great seat and wished us a good evening and him a happy birthday. Our server was Aaron. Aaron did his job- nothing beyond that and nothing memorable- just his job and that's fine. My only issue with the evening is Aaron did nothing to acknowledge the reason we came to The Hamilton. I thought- well we changed the time of our reservation so he didn't know? I shared the information with another server privately to inform Aaron and watched the server tell Aaron the news and surprisingly- Aaron still did nothing.. not even say "Happy Birthday". I was a bit disappointed by this. We closed up and carried on with our evening. The food was exceptional and the service was FAST! We enjoyed the evening overall and I'm happy I chose this location.

The khao soi had good flavor, and it came with rice. The chicken wings were for my son, he said they were the best wings he's ever had. The beef curry had good flavor, but the beef was a bit overcooked. Service was a little bit of a miss. When the waiter first came, he asked us for our food order. However, we wanted to order drinks first. I was able to order my cocktail, however, the waiter left before anyone else at my table could speak to order a beverage. Food came out very quickly. This is not the type of place where you would want to enjoy drinks and food over a period of time. However, if you are super hungry, your food will definitely get to you quickly. Restaurant was crowded, but not super loud. Overall, I would come back for the food, I just wish that I could have more time to enjoy my restaurant experience.
