Pork eggroll was soggy did not really taste fresh that way too much white rice with the shrimp and vegetables, 1/3 of the container with rice, barely any sauce and was also under seasoned. Paid a lot for four wings. Wings were about two dollars and change apiece and weren't really seasoned that well. I will say it was Chinese style fried chicken, but the taste was still lacking. I'm still on the search for good Chinese food in this area so far I've had no luck. I would go back even in a pinch. They also charge a dollar processing fee if you order online but you still have to pay at the store so I don't even know what the processing fee was for.

We have been familiar with the area for years, as my father-in-law lived 3 minutes away, and recently we realized this was his go-to carryout. After 3 visits, I can say it's one of the best in the DMV, thanks to its flavor and food choices. You will find Japanese options like sushi, American-Chinese dishes like orange chicken, similar dishes, and Cantonese food like roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodle soups, and whole fish. They are family-owned and operated. Every time we come, the elder father is always gracious and provides excellent service. The restaurant is always quiet; you can hear conversations in the back, and as customers arrive to pick up their orders, we haven't witnessed any negative interactions. Customers are always happy with their food, and the staff say thank you. The only negative is the space. The building itself is older and outdated. In the summer, it is hot, and now in the winter, there is no heat. They have found ways to make it work, like space heaters on each table, but it can still get uncomfortable if you are dining in. The back area near the bathroom and the bathroom itself need a thorough cleaning. To me, it's a turnoff; it doesn't affect the food, but it does affect the dine-in experience.

If it was possible to give this business a -1 I would. I am so tired of the closeted racism in some of these businesses that people choose to support and unfortunately this is one of them. YUMS I would say do better but I think that it would be impossible at this point. I have witness several situations in which you all have looked down on black people should I go down the list and explain how rude you are to people of color and how you disrespect us an smile in our faces all while taking our money please don't let me forget about how hide behind the law as if the people your establishment are victims. The employees at the particular location are rude the customer service is horrible and I advise anyone who is continuing to support this business to think wisely about who you support and why. read more

I could've ordered that alone and been fine, but I was also craving sushi. I'm saving most of the fried rice and vegetables for tomorrow. The bento box was pretty good. The vegetables tasted very fresh (I love my veggies). The rice was a little sticky for my liking, but the shrimp was good and plentiful. The California rolls were standard, and the dumplings & spring rolls were both good. The only negative I have for those is that they did not include a sauce for them. Luckily I keep sweet chilli sauce in my fridge. The shrimp tempura roll was okay. It had a slight bitterness to it that I think is because it was fried in old oil. The bento box arrived piping hot, which I liked. This was after being the second stop on the delivery. Overall, I think Quickway Japanese is solid and I would order from them again if I want a quick sushi/bento meal.

The noodles can taste a little greasy sometimes but overall I think this food is worth the $20ish I usually spend for an entree. Usually ends up being two full meals for me, and I don't have to leave the house! Sometimes they deliver 15 minutes late and sometimes they deliver 20 minutes early, I really think it depends if I order during peak times. Worth the wait if they are running late. I will take pictures next time!
