First off I want to start off by saying the staff here was incredible. I was with my family and did…read morenot have the opportunity to get names, but every single staff member I saw was working hard, diligently, and with haste. Our server immediately greeted us with a great big smile, she took our drink orders and described some of the drinks to us. We put in an order for 2 spring rolls and 2 eggs rolls which were to die for. Perfectly crunchy, crispy, and full of flavor with great dipping sauce! They came out piping hot and delicious. I also got egg drop soup which simply cannot be beat. The soup was not too thick and not too thin or watery. The green onions were fresh. The crisped wontons had just the right amount of crunch. Together the dish was savory and delightfully flavorful. Now, my guest can often be difficult to please (as food must be extremely specific), but it's not ever usually a problem that a "good restaurant" can't handle. They handled it perfectly. We got the chicken with two winter veg, no sauce or mushrooms and add water chestnuts. It came out exactly that way. Perfect. Not only perfect but steamed to perfection. I also got the chicken w winter veggies--with sauce-- which is a brown gravy. What can I say OTHER than it was also perfect!! The meat was cooked to tender, not dry. The veggies were bright and deliciously tender, but still had a gentle crunch (the ultimate dish style!). My husband got the orange chicken and the spice was absolutely divine. The orange chicken sauce was pungent and sweet. If you like heat, this one is for you!! The chicken was crispy under the layer of aromatic, REAL orange flavored sauce. My other guest got the Mandarin combination plate, which featured a host of veggies, surf and turf meats, and a spicy brown sauce on top. Again, meat and veg cooked to perfect tenderness, with the veggies snapping and crunching just enough but tender enough to enjoy. Drinks were a teapot for the table (which may have been a bit strong for my guests, but I drank it!) A coconut punch (non alcoholic), which is a virgin iced Pina Colada. I didn't expect that, but I still guzzled it down. It came in a parrot glass, too!! So fun!! The rest of the table got coke and tea and were just as good. (Yes I tried everything). And we came here because we've been seeing their really amazing TikToks and want to contribute to bringing this WONDERFUL restaurant back into the folds of the community and wrap them in support. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

I drive past China Cafe every. single day. Just haven't been here in almost 2 years because of the…read moreservice. However, they're one of the few carry outs in the area whose prices are still fairly reasonable so that's what prompted my visit on this "Friday Eve" 2/12/26. Two stars for the service. I will never understand why so many (NOT ALL) carryout owners are so snarky, short tempered, non-emotional, cold, rude ... pick an adjective. They clearly articulate it's all about the money. Sadly, it was the same lady, oozing the same negativity. *Sigh* Usually four stars for their food ... just not this time because I ordered pepper steak with NO onions but got a dish full of them anyways. If you are remotely familiar with my reviews you already know I ordered dumplings and wonton soup. Thankfully, I have NO complaints about either one of those. One star for the ambiance butttt it IS just a lil roadside carryout so I never expect much. Despite the owner's personality flaws ... I'll probably return. Just like the owners ... it's all about the money for me too. In my case, the desire to spend less of it. Looking forward to hearing YOUR opinion.

The fries were golden, crispy, and hot out the fryer. The mumbo sauce complemented the chicken perfectly, but honestly, it didn't even need it. I'm not native to DC but live in the DMV, and I've had my fair share of carryouts with mumbo sauce--but this spot was fire. There's no ambience because it's a carry-out joint, so don't come expecting a dine-in experience. You're pulling up strictly for the food, and trust me, it delivers. Rating: 9/10 Would absolutely recommend and will be back. Appreciate the put-on @LATryGuy!

I would need to go all the way back to my days of interacting with Tune Warner Cable to find a comparable experience in terms of horrible customer service. The woman at the register came off very angry for some reason and was argumentative beyond belief in my view, to the point where I contacted the third party order service and cancelled my order since Benny's hadn't even put my order into the system, let alone started making my order even though I arrived right at the 6pm scheduled pick up time. 100% fail on all counts and I will be sure to let everyone know about the argumentative and unprofessional nature I encountered so that others hopefully do not have to waste their time like I did. Your experience may vary of course, but for me Benny's of La Plata was a complete and total bust that would only be worth their current 4.7 star rating, if the scale was from 1-100. Welcome to the zero star club Benny's of La Plata, as it is well deserved.

The chicken was breaded with a large coating and not much chicken. Not out of normal for American Chinese food. The crispy beef was lightly battered. The beef had the sauce coating it so the batter had def soaked up some of the sauce and wasn't extremely crispy. The fried rice was decently good, had bean sprouts and onions in it. Needed a little more flavor and less smokiness. All in all, we would def come back and order again! Jake n kev

They made a mistake with my order which I noticed before leaving the establishment. I asked them to correct the order and the cashier/order taker was incredibly rude, screamed and shouted at me in English, and then continued to scream in Chinese to the cook in the kitchen for a straight 5 minutes that it took to correct the order. She kept referencing specific items on my order in English while yelling to her coworker in Chinese. The food was warm but not even hot.
