Chinatown Express, Washington DC

Went here a few times, roast duck, noodles, fried pork buns, beef stir fry, all super solid with fast service. Well worth putting on the energy for a tromp down the Mall. Drink with Tsing Tao chinese beer.

I didn't enjoy my visit to this restaurant. It smelled really bad, like a sewer, and the food was so terrible! I strongly recommend avoiding this place at any cost.

My GO TO spot for years for a quick, scrumptious chinese meal before a CAPS game! Be careful how much food you order, their plates are always plentiful! Always full of CAPS fans.

We got our food surprisingly fast but it was not fresh. It tasted good but was not amazing. Staff is not friendly. Not sure I’d eat there again but it wasn’t a bad experience.

Honestly the food wasn’t all that great. I sat in front of the bathroom and the flavor was um yea the food was quite over priced as well. The portion of the food was smaller then what I expected. I wouldn’t come back here but it was one of an experience. Some of the food under wasn’t fully cooked yet. The people here was nice and all but it got awkward at a certain point when we were ordering.

I don’t like it. I honestly think the only reason why people like this place is if you never had actual Chinese food. This is just my very personal opinion. The price was insane for such salty dishes and the portion was definitely not worth $80+ for THREE DISHES. I would never come back ever again. The waitress honestly did not give a dam about us. Gave us the tea but no cup that’s honestly crazy. Any Chinese person that had actual Chinese food would not dare to rate this place over a 2 star. The amount of onion I got for that one beef dish was insane I can actual count how much beef there was, at this point just give me a raw onion to eat. I don’t even know why I came to this place. Worst decision I had so far. 真的好难吃 I was being mentally challenged send help Fr. I bet you walked in here because you thought you were gonna get what you saw outside

I ordered dumplings; the filling was bland and the wrapper was really thick. Was wondering if they were made by someone who had never made dumplings before. Service was below standard and the tax was included in calculating the suggested tip.

Excellent food! Laidback environment. And the menu has everything, I’ll have to keep going back just to try it all. The duck was cooked perfectly, the best I’ve ever had.

Quite possibly the worst dumplings I've ever had. It baffles me that humans were able to produce meat so bland, it tasted like meat made by chat GPT. The beef with ginger and green onion was about 92% white onion, 5% beef, 3% green onion, and 0% ginger.there was none. The mapo tofu was about as spicy as a glass of water and also generally lacked in flavor. The tofu itself was far from quality. They also somehow manged to undercook the rice as well. The beef haw fun was pretty decent though, did have the flavors I was looking for and the big thick noodles were pretty good.overall score 2.5/10

Food was great (reminds me of home), but the price is crazy, also the staffs are rude and barely speak English (they got my order wrong, they agreed to change it but with hostile attitude). If you are so hungry and just want to eat fast, come here. If you want a date or hang out, this is the last place you want to go.

Listen guys, the food here are not taste like Chinese food.low quantity and small dish, I paid $ 104 for me and my son last night for dinner, we still hungry after we finish up our food. Service was good, server always filled out your water glass.

Food is just so so except the Chinese BBQ like roast pig and roast pork. Quality is comparable to those in NY.
Other dishes we ordered just ok. The poster on wall about the noodle soup with duck caught my attention but it’s really jut ok. Soup is not rich, noodle is not chewy and the duck is just ok, not bad and not good neither. Feel free to skip it.

Very disappointed. We came there on our last day dinner in DC. It turn out a bad decision. The food is garbage. It looks and tested like the food should feeds the pig. I wonder how a restaurant can serve food like this quality still able to survive. Do not come.

We went to this restaurant on christmas. Food was really good. We had vegetable soup, hunan chicken and eggplant. However, the restaurant is overcrowded and it took almost 30-45 mins for our dishes to arrive. I would suggest to take out instead of dine-in from this restaurant as it is too much overcrowded during special days like Christmas.

Very nice people - the food was tasty. I had beef chow foon, shrimp fried rice and steamed veggie dumplings - the garlic sauce is yummy.

Food aren’t good. Lack of flavor and it doesn’t have chinese taste. I won’t go back: (

Please don’t eat here unless they need to improve the food.
