It's basically a takeout place that has a bunch of tables and you just bring your bag of food there. I got chicken with garlic sauce and it was pretty good. Different spring rolls are good. Scallions pancakes were really oily and fried really hard.. my friend like them but they weren't really my thing although the dipping sauce was good. He loves the cashew chicken. The wontons in the wonton super definitely a different style that I'm used to and they're okay but I don't love the broth in that soup. It was pretty busy on a Saturday night with all the tables being taken.

They're baked goods... Including moon cakes and sesame balls are off the chain delicious... Stopping in here just to pick up some desserts is totally worth it... But stay for the food and be delighted and surprised!

5 stars all around! The food is clean, yet tasty and they are the standard in DC moving forward! We tried multiple dishes and everything was very good.
