I’ve only visited once, but the shrimp egg foo young was fantastic. The woman at the counter was very kind and helpful.

This place should be your go-to Chinese take out spot around McLean. We've ordered many different items and they're all .

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever eaten at. While it can be a bit pricey for the portion sizes, the quality of the food makes it well worth it.

I highly recommend trying the orange beef; it's fantastic! The combo fried rice is also excellent, but I devoured it so quickly that I didn't get a chance to take a picture. View menu

I've been eating here for few years, hands down one of the best quick Chinese food in the area. I always ordered their black peppered chicken which is on point and the owner lady always gives me so much, my chicken is pressed by the container!

The food is decent and the restaurant is generous with portions. But... we ordered for delivery and the food never arrived. I called twice. They had the order, but not a driver. Took an hour and a half to get our food. By then it was cold, congealed and not very appetizing. Dinner was late and ruined. If you can't pick-up, don't bother. View menu

Outstanding food! Second time ordering delivery. It was on time and very hot. Ordered sweet and sour pork which had crispy breading instead of the usual bland over breaded soggy pork from other restaurants in the area. Also ordered cashew chicken and moo shi pork. Also outstanding food. Nicely seasoned and not over salted. Soups were great. Surprised that sweet and sour pork did not include vegetables or fruit. Most area Chinese restaurants have pineapple, cherries,

I ordered take out from here last night and I was so impressed with Hunan?s COVID procedures they were more cautious than what I?ve seen anywhere else. You speak at a speaker outside the door (it?s a small place so you can still see each other) and then they bring your food and leave it in a table right outside the door (where they also sullied hand sanitizer. AND the food was delicious!! The kung pao bean curd was fairly mild so I will definitely order it spicier next

"I recently ate dinner on a slow Monday evening with about a dozen customers in the bar area. A nice barkeep greeted me a minute or so after I sat and attended to me cordially throughout the evening. Based on my good experience from earlier in the year, Ibasically repeated my order from then with a change or two: Blood orange spritz to start with a house salad, a crab cake entreewith mash and asparagus, ten ounce sirloin medium rare with baked potato and Brussel sprouts, and chocolate mousse cake tofinish. My drink came promptly and tasted good overall even if I would like a little more blood orange flavor. The house saladlooked and tasted fresh with crispy croutons. A little less dressing at the bottom would give this salad a better mix ofdressing to vegetables. Fresh cracked pepper instead of the small shakers would be better as well. Crab cakes had a pleasingbroiled texture, satisfying crab to binder ratio, a thermally warm temperature, and a light taste. I wonder if a little morelump crab instead of mostly backfin might elevate these cakes a touch more. Asparagus had good grill flavor and texture. Mashedpotatoes tasted like they had a little too much salt and/or dairy in them but were still quite palatable. Steak temperature wasmedium rare by touch and between medium rare to medium by sight and had good grill flavor. I was glad to see this baked potatocome with a decent salt crust on the skin and appropriate accoutrements, most of which I used. Overall the texture was pleasingeven if the potato could have been hotter on arrival. The Brussel sprouts were portioned and cooked well. I could have done witha little less salt to bring more flavor since this side included prosciutto and mustard. The chocolate mousse cake had a smoothmousse with plenty of chocolate flavor and a more moist cake than last time. The raspberry ice cream served as a welcomecomplement. My bill was just under $100 excluding tax and tip. I could certainly return if I were in the a"
