So, I enjoy the dishes I have ordered so far like double cooked pork, chicken hot pot, ribs, string…read morebeans, bok choy w/an exotic mushroom....all superb! But I made the mistake to order the Sichuan shrimp, it was totally disappointing and the shrimp were soft and chewy tasteless as opposed to succulent and firm. I mean very disappointing compared to the other dishes. With that said, I would avoid the seafood dishes perhaps. The double cooked pork is a real winner and very authentic.

My experience was not the best here. This place is located in a small strip mall and has it won…read moreprivate parking lot. They have a huge dining room that has an old vibe. They could really use some modernization and/or renovation. I should have known something was wrong after I got there during peak lunch hours and no one was there. It was completely empty. Needless to say, I did not have the best experience here. Service here was lacking. My server never checked on me, never refilled my water and I had to track her down to get a box and my check. She spent most of the time yelling at people on the phone. They have a huge menu with a wide assortment of classic Chinese food. I ordered the sesame chicken, which came with rice. y food was ready in about 5 minutes. I will get right to the point. It was avergae to below average. I could not even eat it in one sitting and had to take half of it to go. I really did not like the flavor and the chicken just tasted weird to me. There are few places that I will not return for another meal. This is one of them. The service was subpar and the food was bad.

Stopped here because of the ratings and the cleanliness ratings on Yelp. I met a few Neighborhood patrons. I love DC. I love the culture. I used to live in DC but it seems as though my Texas accent is making me stick out like a sore thumb but the DMV is home. So many regulars come in and you know that it has to be a good little spot. We got the cheese steak, it came with American cheese not the white cheese... we got the beef and broccoli and also the orange chicken. I wouldn't give it 5 stars but definitely worthy of 4 stars. Customer service was great even though he had so many customers in and out who had called in orders. There are lots of carry outs off of this street so I'll know soon which is best!

The food is not inviting and bland in taste. I ordered two basic entres from the menu- shrimp fried…read morerice and peppered steak. The shrimp fried rice had more than enough rice -One eighth of the container contained a few shrimp the remaining 7/8ths of the container fried rice. The rice had plenty of brown color, lacked flavor, onions and eggs. The pepper steak had plenty of onions and gravy, very little peppers and steak. One had to search for the steak in the sea of gravy and onions. In general, both shrimp fried rice and peppered steak were very skimpy with respect to the main ingredients-shrimp and steak. The wait for the order was the best take away. The carry out needs a face lift to make it more inviting. The Carryout is along a strip of other small food business and vacant storefront buildings.The kicker is the business does not take credit cards- accepts cash only. What a bummer! The food is so bad the business only accepts cash.

The restaurant is well-it and clean and they have duck, soy, and mustard on the counter so customers can grab as much as they want. SO much better than the spots that charge per pack. A really nice touch! The food is good. I got shrimp egg foo yung and hoped that it would have been more flavorful. It seemed to be lacking seasoning. Not salt, but something to add a richer flavor. BUT the gravy was not super heavy and cloying like it is at other places. So it does taste fresh. Same with the broccoli. It was a tad too crunchy, but that also made it seem fresh. A little more seasoning on the egg foo yung and a few more minutes on the broccoli and this spot could become my go to!

"I'm craving soup dumplings," said my obsessed nine-year-old daughter. Since Soupy Dumpling & Fancy…read moreCuppa was too far away, we walked into Dumpling Hot Pot Beyond after an evening school event on a Thursday around 7 p.m. One other person was just finishing their meal when we arrived. Overall, the food was good. Once seated, a server hands you an iPad where you'll order your food. To feed two adults and one child, all hungry, we ordered dan dan noodles, orange chicken, cucumbers, BBQ pork bao, pork dumplings, and, of course, soup dumplings. Every dish had good flavor. The dan dan noodles are more soupy compared to nearby Copycat, but it was still good. One odd thing that may be a one off, but worth noting is the wait time. With one other person there and no takeout pickups and three people in the kitchen, it took 35 minutes to get our first dishes. Over an hour later, we got our final dish- orange chicken. We couldn't figure out why there was such a long wait especially when other spots bring out the cucumbers within minutes of ordering. We were hungry so it added to the emotions, but worth calling out in case you're a rush.

We liked the Orange Chicken sauce a lot. It was sweet and well-spiced. The chicken pieces,…read morethemselves, were maybe a regional style I'm not familiar with. The chicken pieces in the dish came in the form of gargantuan balls of mixed meat, varying between white and dark. Sometimes the texture was pure meat, other times the meats' texture was very slippery/tender and fatty all in the same chunk of chicken. Dumpling Hot Pot Beyond's Veggie Wontons in Scallion Sauce were very good. Most veggie wontons in the green wonton wrap have a similar 'vegetable' flavor that I'm not crazy about but these have less of that flavor. I loved the sauce. I was so excited to taste the Bean Paste Bao's as they are not easy to find. The Dan Dan noodles were served warm and mixed with a fragrant sauce. The noodles had less of a sesame or peanut taste than I'm used to. Also, we ordered the slightly spice heat level yet these were the hottest Dan Dan noodles I've ever tasted. (See photo of receipt indicating desired spice level.) I like things hot but Lord Almighty! I am - apparently - not woman enough. I loved the hot chili oil and container of hot chili flakes to add to the dishes. The basic rice was good, as well. Basics like white rice are not to be underestimated. We liked the texture. I'd go back to experience the hot pot and more dim sum options if I'm in the area.
