    A cute spot in Davis Island. It's a grocery store with an Indian/Indo-Chinese restaurant inside. The owners are so sweet and friendly. There are LOTS of vegan options, I highly recommend trying this spot out if you find yourself on DI. I loved the fresh-made style, everything came out piping hot and fresh.

    Is this an Indian food spot inside of a gas station? Yes. Is it at all what you would expect from an Indian food spot inside of a gas station? Absolutely not! This place is amazing! We've been here twice and both times we've been greeted warmly and helped with out food choices by very friendly staff. By the way, the gas station is very well set up inside. Ample seating room. The food spots well separated from the convenience store area. While we waited for our food, the owner came out both times to share some samples of their other delicious dishes. There is not a single thing I've tried from this menu that I haven't loved. Everything from the chicken tills masala and spicy goat curry, to the chicken and noodles and the lentil soup... all of it has been incredible. This is officially our favorite Indian food restaurant in the Riverview area.

    My wife and I stopped in for lunch and we were happy we did. The service was amazing and the food was incredible. My wife had her favorite chicken fried rice she loved it. She said it was one of the best she has had 9.2. I had the chicken masala with rice it was awesome 9.2 this is a great little gem in the area. If you are hungry stop by and try this place. P.s the garlic Naom bread is delicious.

    I've been doing some regular fasting, and my taste buds have been tuned to REAL food, which is not always easy find. This food feels good and tastes delicious! Recommended!!

    I am glad that I finally decided to try this restaurant. It is located next to a gas station, so parking is a bit limited. Inside it share space with other 3 restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly, coming and checking if everything was fine, and making sure we enjoy our food. The one small down side is that took a bit longer to get our order, but it was because everything is made fresh!! I tried the Aloo Paratha, butter chicken and chicken Tikka pásala, and the paneer paratha. Everything tasted delicious. It was so much food that I had for the next day! I'm definitely going back to try more.

    Last minute my mom and I decided to visit a location we saw online a weeks back. What a great decisions. The moment I walked to the window, the gentleman taking orders was so welcoming and even gave me samples to try. We ordered tandoori chicken, tiki marsala, chicken biryani, chickpeas, butter chicken and naan bread. All were delicious!!! Right amount of heat and crazy flavor. The place is clean and bright! We will be back. Try it out it won't disappoint.

    I would have taken pictures, but the food was just too good to wait!!…read moreEverything here is great, but the Dim Sum is amazing. If you can get here between 11-2, they will make some of the best Asian food you have ever had. The shrimp balls are one of a kind. Yes, they are fried (like the sticky lork dumpling), but sometimes you have to make your heart work for a living! The Hong Kong steamed rice (wrapped in a banana leaf!) is a must have. The Shu Mai is another... don't ask, just eat it! I like the pork ribs, but i will admit they are a LOT of gristle...its like eating chicken feet without thinking about chicken feet! We both really loved the chinese broccoli...and if you ask - they will bring you some without oyster sauce! Don't let my weird hang-ups put you off. If you are adventurous, they have 2 full carts of Dim Sum with all kinds of great food. They even have a picture menu of the Dim Sum offerings so you can see what they have before the cart gets to your table.

Points of Reference: Toronto China Town; San Francisco China Town; and Mark's Duck House in northern Virginia (off 50 just outside DC).

    Happiness is a warm embracing chili oil aura eminating from your body. I asked an Asian Foodie…read moregroup for the best places to go and Bejing House was one reply by many. I waited until I was in the area and tried it. I was so impressed that I made a 2nd visit before I made this review. Located in a strip mall west of 275 on Fletcher, the menu is impressive. Once I disvovered, over 20 years ago, the treasure trove of authentic chinese dishes available at many chinese food places. I seldom order the cookie cutter American versions so many people find familiar. This place has Sichuan and Northern Chinese food. The ambiance is perfect, never too loud. The wait staff are young and pleasant. Very helpful and attentive. Plenty of free parking. My first visit blessed me with two cravable dishes that frolic in my mind joyously. The Handmade Noodles w/ Ginger & Scallìon and the Shrimp Rolls. The noodles made fresh every morning were luxurious on the palate, soft and silky with a perfect amount of heat from the chili oil and a subtle fragrant flavor that wooed the senses. The small crispy Shrimp Rolls bursting with delectable flavors was so enticing. I could devour those non-stop. I also had the Tea Smoked Duck and that is the only item I did not relate to. A bowl of seasoning is provided for you to dip your duck pieces as you ate. The duck alone had no appealing flavor. The flavor came as you dip the duck in the 5 spice. The issue was each bite tasted different, too little spice, too much spice and at times the perfect amount. I would much prefer for it to come flavored and spice by a pro in the kitchen so every bite was good. I tried a Choya Plum wine that was pleasant. My 2nd visit began with Sichuan Crispy Chili Wings. Delightful flavor, tossed with chili's, garlic and cilantro in a spicy sauce. An enjoyable amount of heat, covered in that tasty piquant and crispy sauce. The kicker was the addition of a few chunks of fried potatoes also covered in sauce. My sides were some low mein noodles and an amazing string bean dish stir fried with crispy garlic, minced pork and a chili sauce. A must try item. Again, a dish with spicy heat at a perfect pitch. The main attraction came in a small wok over a lit burner and is Griddle Fish. The same dish is also available in about 10 other protein choices. A fabulous dish that had wonderful textures and flavors. The fish however was mushy inside. Likely made with Swai or Tilapia which I detest since they live their lives in excrement. My fault for not thinking before I ordered since I had so many other choices. Delicious if you can get past the inferior fish quality. The desserts were marvelous. Cream Brulee Cheesecake and Yuzu Beignets. Rich and delectable. Beautifully balanced sweetness factor. Wife loved them! Cravable food is everywhere due to the chemicals fast food places use to trick your brain at the expense of your health. To find food you crave because of cooking mastery and the genius blend of the food, herbs and spices...well that is special. This is a special place. COME GET YA SOME!!

Even when it was brought to the table- the food looks good and promising! I was sat right next to the kitchen and to my astonishment, everyone in the kitchen was speaking Spanish!! I always say, THE BEST CHINESE FOOD is always prepared by CHINESE PEOPLE! Nothing against Spanish cooks, but if I'm coming for AUTHENTIC CHINESE FOOD, I want to know that there's someone back there who grew up eating the food they are preparing! With that being said, you can absolutely taste the Spanish influence! I have NEVER had fried rice that is covered in CILANTRO!! What?! The fried rice tasted like Spanish rice. We also ordered the General Tso chicken NOT SPICY. I heard the cook tell our waiter, "you gave them them the wrong one, you gave them the spicy one, did they say anything about it?" My white rice also had a dead bug in it!!! We didn't say anything because we already knew we would not be coming back here. So we just paid for our $83 bill and left, unsatisfied.. and went straight to Dairy Queen for chicken tenders Very disappointed as I had high hopes for a good Chinese restaurant.

I was greeted upon entering and seated at a table immediately -- it took a few minutes for someone to come by my table and take an order, but they answered all of my questions. My order consisted of: 1. Unsweetened iced tea. Likely from the soda fountain but decent. 2. Pork dumplings. Served hot and steamed. The pork is well seasoned and very tasty. . 3. Duck noodle soup, ordered for an egg allergy and not spicy. So let's talk about this duck soup. First of all the broth is not that salty, but has a lot of good flavor. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the vegetables are fresh! The duck is is very very good. Some may find the duck is not tender enough however I really happen to like it. One thing other folks may not like is the fact that the duck comes partially on the bone. At least you know it's freshl! If you order this, make sure to take your time with the pieces of duck! All in all a great spot for a solid meal made to order!

The broth and noodles was really good and slightly different from ramen but I have absolutely no complaints. I wasn't a huge fan of the duck, but I think I just don't like duck in general but I wanted to try something new. The egg in the Lamen was SO GOOD and the chicken skewer had tons of flavor. No complaints about the cucumber appetizer either. Not too salty, but still flavorful. The only thing I didn't really like was the flavor of the sweet tea and lemonade it was a bit strange. Everything else was really good tho. I'll definitely be back.
