    China Wok reputed to have the 2nd best Peking Duck in the Metropolitan area. Patrons come here for their Peking duck and then whatever they feel like that comes next. (In fact we pre-order Peking ducks for Thanksgiving every year). We had 2 orders, and there were plentiful (for 8), and served with hand-rolled wraps, scallions, and sauce. The service here can be best described as friendly and casual, as you'd expect from an uncle or aunt. The fried dishes, e.g., fried fish fillet, fried pork chops, were what you'd expect - crispy, spicy, and fresh. However we thought that some of the dishes were a bit salty.

    Spicy Cabbage Chicken, Spicy Fried Fish Fillet, Phoenix Fish Fillet, Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (top).

    The food and service get 5 stars here (the ambiance is a bit dated). They have the usual fare here, along with a number of uncommon and unusual options. My favorites include the Spicy Fried Fish Fillet, the Spicy Cabbage Chicken, Sautéed Pork & Dried Bean Curd, and the Phoenix Fish Fillet.

    I ordered curry fried tofu. I got Mapo Tofu (soft tofu with brown sauce. I tried to tell them they made a mistake, but they refuse to listen -well here is the evidence. Oh and they (yes a woman and a man in the call) insisted that they served me fried tofu w/yellow curry sauce. Sad when a business will not acknowledge a simple mistake and even worse, refuse to fix it. Oh I even said I would send them a photo; they refused. I offered to take it back and show them; they refused.

    This is really a 4.5 rating. I have been coming here for many, many years. Used to come here for the lunch specials. I used to work very close. I still come here and eat when I can. The food has always been consistent and good. I never had a bad meal. The service has always been consistently good. Owners have always been friendly. The ambiance is very casual. It's a small place in a strip mall but food us delicious. They have a huge selection of authentic Chinese. Good food at a decent price.

    11/13/2021, our crew came through and ordered a lot! The 11 of us ordered three Peking ducks and eight other dishes (I'm going to forget some of the other dishes because the Ducks stole the show by a large margin). Here is our breakdown. Peking Duck: for $44, the Duck, dough wraps, onions, and the sauce were a total steal! The portion sizes were generous and the price is reasonable! The Duck meat was juicy and the skin was amazing! They also gave us the bones and the legs/wings. 10/10. This dish is a must have. Fish with Chives Flower: for $17 I guess the dish is okay? It was not too memorable and I'm typing this up only 90mins after the meal. Okay-ish dish LOL. Spicy Beef 水煮牛: $19. This dish was good. There was a good kick in the spices and the veggies in the dish complemented the beef really well. The beef itself was not bad. The dish definitely had elements of Sichuan/Chongqing, but the dish lacked the essence of those places. Therefore, 8/10. 豆苗 Pea Sprout: The restaurant cooked it with sugar. I think the Shanghainese chef instructed the restaurant to cook this dish that way. It was definitely a new spin on pea sprouts. A weird and somewhat delicious new spin perhaps? 7/10. Tofu Eggplant w/ Salted Fish: this delicious was simply delicious. This was definitely the 2nd best dish of the night, behind the Duck. 9.5/10. 香干肉丝: I don't think my crew liked the dish as much as the others. I personally didn't eat it, so I'll take their words on it. They gave it 6/10. The service was great. The waiters were pretty attentive and filled our water regularly. Overall experience 4.5/5. I'm rounding this up to a five star review simply because the Duck was amazing and it's only $44!

    Amazing dishes! I had been reluctant as the name seemed generic--boy I was wrong. The Peking duck is similar to the one at Peking Gourmet Inn , even the pancakes and way it is served. However they are able to keep prices fair. We had the full duck at about 40% less cost than the other place and all of us were happy. The owner stated they get theirs from Long Island too and cook it for hours til that crispy skin is achieved. The shrimp and black bean sauce was great w chives. They had snow pea greens in season too. Service was impeccable as they even topped up our teapot several times. Definitely will make this a result rotation to try other dishes along w the duck. Maybe 2 ducks for the 4 of us next time?!?

    We went on a Saturday around 11:30 am. There was a constant flow of customers, mainly Chinese. We went for the duck, which was so so. The price is pretty reasonable. The yangzhou fried rice was good. It had chicken, shrimp, and chinese bbq pork. The Chinese watercress with garlic was cooked well. Not overly cook. The chef is from Chongqing, so I ordered the hot & spicy braised fish with tofu (豆花鱼 dou Hua yu) The staff was very attentive and friendly. The hot and sour soup was also good. The ambiance: extremely casual. A bit dated. I would return to try other dishes.

    Braised pork with tofu
    Thao L.

    My friends and I came to this restaurant after our Tysons Corner trip and the food was decent. They have a mixture of more authentic Chinese food and more Americanized Chinese food so the variety was great. We entered mid day on a Saturday and the restaurant was on the quieter side compared to other restaurants in the same plaza. The service was great! The workers were very friendly and sat us almost immediately. I got one of their special dishes that was recommended to me by our waitress and it was delicious. The dish is braised pork with tofu served with white rice. Serving size is quite big. The only issue we faced was price difference from the menu. It seems like their menu prices for some dishes were not updated and two of the dishes ended up being a few dollars more.

    Pork lomein
    Mai Linh H.

    I ordered from here a couple of times and I must say that it's a pretty solid spot for local Chinese. I've gotten the pork lomein and walnut shrimp. They're very tasty! However, would prefer if the shrimp sauce was not as watery. I haven't seen a sauce that watery before so hopefully thats not the normal case. They're quick to fulfill orders too.

    Chicken and cashews lunch special with rice and spring roll. This is just the portion I served myself. They gave me a ton of food!
    Rachel A.

    Delicious! Very quick delivery and everything was piping hot. I got the chicken and cashews lunch special which came with rice and a spring roll. I also got their spicy cajun cabbage, and pan fried noodles with pork and chicken with extra sauce. I love everything! The portions are so big I'll have plenty for dinner as well.

    Recently, Eater DC published a list of what they considered the best steakhouses in the DMV…read more Randy's made the list. We were looking for a place to have our anniversary dinner. After seeing the list, we chose Randy's. Randy's is a Great American Restaurant, and I must say it's so good to go to a GAR with a menu different from the others. In the past, I've written about how one can go to Coastal Flats and get pretty much the same menu as, for example, Jackson's. We made a reservation for 5 p.m. on a Saturday. We arrived about a half hour early, so we asked if they could seat us right then and there. The people at the host stand said "yes". We were seated at a 4-top booth. Thus, there was plenty of room. The booths, which have mohair seat coverings, were a shade of green and quite attractive. The environment clearly says "upscale steakhouse." Our server was prompt in getting to us and asked if we wanted some water. We chose tap water. He gave us time to look over the menu. We decided to not have any appetizers as we didn't want to get too full. To drink, my husband got a glass of Catena Malbec while I got an Espresso Martini. Our server asked if we wanted some bread. We said "yes". The bread basket had 2 flaky, buttery croissants, plus a slice of white bread and a slice with raisins. For our main course, we both got the 7 oz. filet mignon cooked medium rare. We chose to try two sides. One side was "roasted asparagus" which consists of: "poached egg, parmesan (we asked for no cheese and our request was honored), truffled Bernaise aioli". The second side was "Honey roasted organic rainbow carrots," which were "dusted with candied walnuts". As for the food --- We both thought our steaks were properly cooked, However, my husband said his was on the dry side while mine was just right. We both really enjoyed the side dishes. The asparagus was unconventional, to be sure. Never did I have a poached egg with asparagus. I ate the egg, and it was properly cooked. Looking back, I should have thought to put some salt on it as there was none. The truffled sauce was creamy and added nice flavor. The carrots, to me anyway, were a pleasant surprise. The honey added a nice flavor along with the candied walnuts. They, too, were cooked perfectly. As for being "rainbow" carrots, most were orange, with some white and yellow ones. We had some room for dessert, so we decided to share "Tressa's crispy meringue filled with lemon curd and finished with passionfruit coulis". Since it was our anniversary dinner, a dollop of whipped cream was added to the plate. In that dollop was a lit candle, which was a nice touch. I found the coulis to be on the tart side. The lemon curd was mildly flavored. Service was excellent, though dessert took a while ,to arrive. All in all, a nice splurge and we're glad we came here. (Well...we didn't care for the traffic on Leesburg Pike, but the dinner made it worth the trip).

    This was my first time dining at Randy's, and overall I had a pleasant experience. Located right…read morenext to Patsy's, another Great American restaurant, Randy's is known for its upscale steakhouse experience. The atmosphere: The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting ambiance. There is plenty of spacious booth seating, which made for a comfortable dining experience. The food: My table started with the Crispy Fried Point Judith Calamari to share. I have a peanut and tree nut allergy and didn't initially realize that the dish included pesto. The staff promptly remade the appetizer without the pesto, which I appreciated. However, the interaction left me feeling a bit like an inconvenience based on the tone of the response. For my entrée, I ordered the Patsy's 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was absolutely delicious. I also added a side of the House Steak Sauce, and it paired wonderfully with the steak. I highly recommend trying it if you're someone who enjoys dipping sauces with your steak! The service: Overall, the service was pleasant. The staff was kind, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. While there were a few minor hiccups, I enjoyed my visit and would return to try more of the menu.

Well, I didn't like lobster until I tried these tacos. To be honest, the lobster tasted like crab legs and the taco was dressed in all fresh ingredients (avocado, charred corn, cilantro, and a fresh flour tortilla) Alright...then next up was the Panko Crusted Sole. It is not filleted tableside because it is pan seared in the kitchen. It was very filling. I think I had three nice-sized filets. It came pretty much with a light and fresh tomato salad. You should do it! Then there was the Crab Cake, which was good. It was in the sweeter end. It was a large portion. It does not have jumbo lump crab meat, but don't let that deter you. Christ also informed us that the "Accompaniments" (sides) could be ordered in half sizes and indeed we - I - had a half size of the Au Gratin Potatoes. They were very smooth, flavorful, and creamy. Also, shouts out to Oscar who held down the water service and the other little things in between that also made this evening even better. The ambiance...I can't wait to head here again on Friday! I went in Saturday evening and the 3 Bears (band) was the live musical entertainment. They were AMAZING! To be honest, I just want to drop in and get a salad and drink...but everything else was so wonderful that $300 later, I'm writing this review.

The salmon, while the best part of the dish, still left more to be desired. It was a bit dry and I didn't think the sauce was all that flavorful. The vegetables were fine, but the mashed potatoes were simply bad? They had the texture and flavor of instant mashed potatoes, slightly liquidity while being quite bland. I just don't think this place is worth coming back to.

Something is very off with the (lack of) protein quality at the Falls Church location. The head-on shrimp were smallish - some were 21-25 count, some were 26-30 count, and all had an off-putting *green* poop line. The clams were inedible and tiny. Half of the clams were missing from their shells. They shouldn't be sold. When I showed the poor quality of the clams to the server, they offered a 20% discount - clearly they don't get it. What keeps me loyal to the brand is their signature Hot N Juicy Special sauce (mod: extra garlic). No other Viet Cajun (even in Houston or wherever) comes close to the depth and complexity of the Hot N Juicy Special sauce. For now, the winning move is to order a some sausage in a cup with Hot N Juicy Special medium sauce w/extra garlic TO GO, and sautée it with a bag of defrosted Costco head-on 16-20 count shrimp, or a few dozen live Cherrystone clams from HMart. There is so much potential here. The sauce is boss. Solve your protein problem!

That small bit of communication would have made the experience even better. Overall, this is still a great restaurant with delicious food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Just keep in mind that the kitchen may close earlier than you expect, so if you're thinking about dessert or another course, order it before the kitchen shuts down.

    Right next to the solid core in case you can't find it since the sign is small…read more Various seating arrangements inside with a front and back area. I came for lunch. They do close at 3 and reopen at 4 I believe. All of the food that we had was good but I can't remember the name of everything. We ate everything though and service was good as well.

    Low and Brenda made my first visit absolutely amazing! From the moment I arrived, the service was…read moresuperior--truly top-tier. I ordered the shrimp cocktail along with the New Frontier bison New York strip, served with short rib and potato hash, red wine jus, and habanero mustard... and every single bite was perfection. The flavors were rich, balanced, and memorable. To top it all off, the manager personally came over to introduce himself, which added such a thoughtful and welcoming touch to the experience. I'll definitely be back--highly recommend!

    TRIO Grill...I've been eyeing up the stellar 4.5 stars for quite some time now and have been…read moremeaning to give them a shot for probably the past 5+ years. We didn't feel like driving into DC for a birthday dinner so we decided to finally go to TRIO. With so many accolades we are all expecting alot... Upon entering we wait a few minutes as nobody is at the front of the house. It's a nice looking place...I'd say its more casual than I thought it would be with an expansive bar on the left side with TVs and the dining area to the right. On to the food... French Onion Soup - Decent..not the best we've had but I thought it was good. Others thought it was a bit on the sweet side Tuna Tartare Nachos - Not too impressed Dry Aged Roasted Chicken - Tasty dish with mashed potatoes...comforting New York Strip - Good steak..cooked well but think it could have been seasoned better. For $52 you are getting into the realm of Capital Grille, Randys which I think have better flavor Crab Cakes - Good amount of crab...the son really enjoyed it. Fries were spot on. Overall giving 3.5 stars...Food is good but perhaps we were expecting more with the 4.5 rating on Yelp.

    This was our second time at Patsy's American, and we are still fans…read more Second visit: I had the fried buttermilk chicken salad, Nice amount of chicken and fresh salad. My friend got the filet mignon which she enjoyed. Brian was an excellent server, making sure we had everything we need, handled several requests with promptness and professionalism, and had our bread pudding dessert decorated with "Happy Birthday" for my friend. First time: I had the lobster roll which came heaped with lobster chunks. I had to eat the lobster for a while before I could pick it up or risk the lobster falling out - so nice not to be hungry after getting a lobster roll! It came with a generous serving shoestring fries - really good and grilled corn on the cob. We had Aracely and Delilaha, two friendly and wonderful waitstaff, one of whom was being trained and the other had been there for years. My friend told them that it was my birthday, and they came out later with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with happy birthday written in chocolate and a candle in whipped cream. I was also impressed how even a straw wrapper sitting on the table was scooped up by someone coming by. The tall ceilings gave the restaurant an open, airy atmosphere. Next door is the associated bakery where they have cupcakes, pastries, cinnamon rolls, and other lovely treats.

    You know I can never pass up a GAR meal. Between the Ozzie Rolls to start and a hearty entrée, it's…read morealways a solid dining experience. We started with the calamari, which was crispy, flavorful, and paired really well with the lobster ginger sauce (need more of it on the side, please!). We also ordered the Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip, but unfortunately it wasn't very hot. It came out mildly warm, so it wasn't as melty and gooey as we were expecting. For my entrée, I had the Short Smoked Salmon Filet, and it was cooked to a perfect medium. The Creole mustard sauce added great flavor, and the mash was creamy. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the asparagus. I wish there had been an option to sub it for another side. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of parking both out front and in the side garage. Our server was attentive and kept the Ozzies coming!
