Came back again and another great meal. Ordered fried chicken w/ hot peppers, fish filet tofu w/ spicy sauce, dan dan noodles, scallion pancake, and salt pepper pork chop. The chicken, noodles, and fish I've ordered before and all very good. The fish in particular is a really big portion that can be shared by up to 4 people easily. Pork chops were also very good and a pretty good serving to share. Pancake was just OK, and very little scallions. Service is pretty good here, totally shaming most other Chinese places.
My word, is this place good. Small, casual, super friendly staff. A few things are real standouts. Last night, the duck, so smoky and crispy! This is not Peking duck, but if you love duck, get it; it has bones so you might need to use your fingers to get it all. Other spicy standouts, string beans, mapo dofu with pork is salty and spicy heaven. Previous visits, the cumin beef, Singapore noodles, a great lamb dish. I'm so so on the soups, egg drop and hot and sour, and egg rolls. Meals come with rice. They serve bottled beer. Need to come back and try more stuff! Close at nine.
Excellent food very friendly service at times. The owner is very nice. I highly recommend this place if you like spicy foods, it is very authentic.
My go to spot for authentic Chinese takeout in the Arlington area. Being located next to the OG Padaek location, it's always a toss up as to which restaurant I will end up in. Items to get: - Fries chicken with dried chili peppers: SPICY but very delicious (and self explanatory). You will find yourself picking through the peppers for every last morsel of chicken - Fish and bean curd with spicy sauce: huge chunks of white fish stewed in a Szechuan style sauce with equally huge chunks of tofu that soak up all the spicy goodness - Cumin lamb: super seasoned and well-cooked lamb with a variety of tasty vegetables If you order online, there's also some dope freebies you can get for exceeding a certain $ amount order Basically, the epitome of the 3.5 star Chinese takeout rule - go for the authentic dishes only
Haven't been here in a long time but tried it again on the Chinese New Year. Food was very good and the staff very friendly. Started with hot and sour soup and dumplings. Moved on to Kung Pao Chicken and General Tsao chicken. Everything was excellent and can't wait to go back.
Love so many of the dishes here. Favorite appetizer: spicy wonton Favorite dishes: Stuffed pepper chicken Cumin Fish MaPo Tofu Crispy Beef Szechuan Green Beans Salty Spicy Shrimp
Came here last week with a few friend's and ordered plenty of the staple sichuan dishes. And aside from the Bitter melon, all was consistently good. I have never been let down from this place in the past. Service was good, wait staff was attentive and the water constantly filled. I do recommend their ChongChing Chicken (Popcorn spice chicken). You can also ask for extra chicken if you got a big party. But this time we got their fried fish filet dry pot, and this was a gem of a dish. Similar to a dish I once use to get all the time in Pittsburgh's how lee. String beans here was also well cooked and flavored, and better then other Sichuan places in the DMV. Come with a big group here to sample alot more dishes!!!!
This place really proves the 3.5 star sweet spot theory for Chinese restaurants right! It was exactly what i was looking for! Even though two of the things I originally wanted to order they did not have. Was really craving beef tendon and boiling hot soup. The original beef tendon dish i ordered they ran out of so i got the 夫妻肺片instead which was good! Nice spice! We wanted to get the pea shoots but they ran out so got bean curd and celery. I prefer the flavor of the cold dish version but it was fine. I got beef noodle soup. Nice flavor and piping hot temperature which is what i was looking for. The noodles are just the plain kind you can get at asian supermarkets I think it's funny this is called Hong Kong Palace even though it is sichuan food and the chinese lettering outside is chengdu 成都 a city in sichuan My husband got the cumin fish which is basically like chinese fish and chips minus fries but with hot peppers. Service was good. Came on friday for lunch so not busy This place has the familiar Chinese restaurant vibe--paper with the chinese zodiac animals, older chinese ladies chattering in background about stuff being expensive, chinese music or tv on in background, a fish tank (but these were decorative like coy pond fish), tea in those metal pots, specials written by hand on the wall. When check comes they give you these mini candies not fortune cookies and/or oranges. I am okay with this. Husband says they taste like cherry luden's. No
