PUBLISH REVIEW

I absolutely love peking duck... who wouldn't? Its so greasy, crispy... yummy. Was in Washington DC for a short tour, and found this place online listed as "best" peking duck location. It was quite a drive from the city, but it was on my wishlist, so I had to go. The outside of the restaurant appeared shabby and a bit sad. Inside décor old, cozy. Décor is mostly filled with photos of famous/popular people that have visited the restaurant. Peking duck was PRICEY, and comparing to all the peking duck places I have eaten at, its mediocre. Excellent waiter service, and it was really cute how the waiter stood around to ensure my dining table knew how to eat peking duck. Haha.

May be authentic, popular and been visited by Presidents...but that doesn't make it good. Visited while in town and the food just didn't taste good to us - maybe it was an off night but it made us all rather sick. The egg rolls had the consistency of a burrito, the dumplings were bready but ok and the chicken dishes seemed under cooked - crispy chicken was soft (the opposite of crispy). The staff seems rather impressed with their history and the pictures of famous political figures on their walls and were unapologetic for messing up our order. Food is very expensive and just not that tasty. As a DC native - I always find it funny that when a political figure goes to a restaurant how it becomes popular even if it isn't that great. I think I'll find another less popular Chinese restaurant in the area that actually serves good food with more reasonable prices - with all the choices in this area that shouldn't be too hard to find. So, in the spirit of American... read more

Poor service. The food was good but the service was really really bad. The waiter assiged to the table (Chi) was incompetent and rude. There were many incidents I can point to but here is an example: when I was calcaulating how much to tip, the waiter stood right behind me staring at the bill. I was still going to give him the customary 20% but decided not to just for that (I still gave him more than 15%). He snatched the bill from my hand after I signed and gave me the look.

Don't normally like duck, but the way it is prepared here is just fabulous. Highly recommend this place. The quality of the food compared to other standard Chinese eating places is not even remotely comparable.

Wow. So glad we made it to this place. It's a bit off the beaten path but was the best Chinese food I've ever had! The specialty shrimp dish was AMAZING! I'm only sad I found this the last day of our trip!

Noodles!. My wife took me here for my birthday. Of course we had to order the Peking Duck. Definitely tasty and the preparation was fun. However, I was not as excited as many other people. This is the first time I've ever had the dish so I'm not sure if it's the restaurant or the dish itself. I wouldn't turn it down if offered again though.

What we really liked was the Gourmet Pan-Fried noodles. The noodles were fat, long, and meaty-textured ("long noodle, long life"). They had little char marks from the pan. Generous portion of meats with big shrimp morsels. Highly recommended.

One of the best waiters I have ever encountered. The staff brought me birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday in Chinese. Definitely going back again.

Fabulous Chinese food!. Have eaten at this place quarterly for over 20 years, and it still has the best Chinese food around. Rave reviews from all we've taken to eat there as well. Its a great place to take out-of-towners, but be sure and make reservations, since its almost always crowded!

The huge Jo-Jen shrimp and Peking Duck are not to be missed. (They'll try to sell you cucumbers with the duck, you can skip 'em.) They have superb Hot and Sour soup, and the Szechuan Beef PROPER (not to be confused with regular Szechuan Beef) is a crispy, deep fried treat that's become a bit too sweet - it could use a little toning down.

Truly a great restaurant.

Peking duck heaven. I got told that this was the best Chinese restaurant in DC, and it surprised me to find it in a very unremarkable suburban shopping mall. Once inside I was blown away by how busy it was, and by the professionalism and efficiency of the owners.
I ordered Peking Duck and had the most wonderful meal. A full duck ($39) is brought to the table and expertly prepared in front of you: crispy skin set on one side of the plate, layer of fat underneath carefully removed from the meat and discarded, then the juicy meat neatly sliced thin and placed alongside the skin. Served with cucumber, spring onion, hoisin sauce and perfect thin pancakes, it was absolutely wonderful.
With drinks and tea, it made a gigantic feed for $50. By the way, this is supposed to serve many more than just one guest, see the photos.
They told me they go through 1,500 ducks a week, no surprise because I’m coming back next week.

Always reliable. We always come here from time to time for lunch. Beats all you can eat buffets all the time. I love the eggrolls and their sweet yellow sauce that is really decadent. The kung pao chicken is the best I have ever had since it's breaded and fried so it tastes different and always good. Peking duck is good too. Place is always a reliable place to go to for lunch. Great and fast service. That's why this is a favorite for many no matter how worn out and old the decor. If this place was to update, then it would really be out of this world.
