    Mapo tofu noodles
    Jamie P.

    Better than you might expect from the outside - have been here a couple of times to get a quick bite to eat before a show, and have had great experience each time. Staff is friendly, the food arrives quickly, and the price is right for the area. There are several seating options, including larger tables in semi-enclosed alcoves. Dumplings are great - and at this price point you can sample several. Non-dumpling dishes are very generous. Spice level is quite mild.

    We came more for the fancy Cuppa tea experience than the soupy dumpling side of things. We just wanted boba and a place to hang out before a play. Ordered the Oreo boba to share and it was genuinely delicious. Weirdly, it gave me an immediate throwback to Ithaca's Utea. Same exact cup, same little heart (oh, Ithaca lol). The drink itself was really well done: creamy, satisfying, and the Oreo added the perfect crunch and extra flavor without overpowering. Portions are huge for the price (there's only a large size), so it definitely feels like a bang for your buck.

    Soup dumplings, baos, and pot stickers

    So delicious. We enjoyed the pork soup dumplings, chicken soup dumplings, crab and pork soup dumplings, steamed bao, potstickers, fried rice, and boba drinks all around. The flavors were bursting in every dish. The restaurant has a lot of background noise so it was a bit hard to hear but the quality of the food made up for the noise.

    Shrimp Fried Rice
    Alyanna M.

    To be honest I had low expectations with this place because of the name, but don't let the name fool you. The food is pretty good. We tried the shrimp fried rice, the clear broth beef noodle soup, & truffle & pork soup dumplings. The fried rice & dumplings were pretty good. The beef in the soup was pretty good, but I would've preferred a different type of noodle. Overall, a nice place if you want dumplings. Just keep in mind, it's street parking only.

    Found this place on a whim and decided to stop by for a quick lunch with a friend. Let me just say the food did not disappoint! We loveddddd everything but the soft tofu noodle dish took the trophy. The service was more self service. You come in, sit and order through the QR code. The food is brought to the table and when you're ready for the check the server will come by to close your tab. The prices are reasonable. The portion sizes are good. You'll be glad you came and excited to go back to try more!

    DC is not known for its Chinese place, but this place is actually Chinese, from the kitschy atmosphere, the slightly odd and tech-heavy service model, and the cuisine. I was sent to a table to order by myself with a QR code, and I sought a fruit tea with jellies which was delicious, as well as their offering of ma po tofu over noodles. The vegetarian/vegan options are a minority of the menu, and in particular I would have liked to see some dumplings without egg, but it's enough variety to be worthwhile for me. My noodles arrived with some al dente bok choy, with tofu in a preparation that delivers the astringency a proper rendition of the dish should, along with delightfully springy noodles. When it was time to check out, it was abundantly clear that the staff I interacted with at least were actual Mandarin speakers. The overall food scene in DC still needs more varied and regional Chinese cuisine, but given that the old ma po tofu place that graced this neighborhood is gone, I'm glad someone has picked up the torch.

    If you are wanting to check out a nice place with the option to get Soup Dumplings and Bubble Tea, this place is for you! Inside consists of a vast amount of tables and booths to sit from where they all have a table sign with a QR code to start your order. Alternatively, if you just want bubble tea or soup, you can order at the counter or at the touch screen. I ordered Honey Green Tea with 50% sugar with crystal jelly (boba when you place the order ) and thought it was a nice refreshing drink to sip as you wait for your order. It was quick, I was able to get my drink within minutes of ordering with out any issues. I also ordered The Lucky Six Soup Dumplings. While they are in different colors, each Soup Dumplings contains different ingredients where one is pork, one is pork/shrimp, one is chicken, one is truffle, one is scallop, and one is crab meat. I had the pleasure of trying each of them out with a side of soy sauce and vinegar. Can't forget about the ginger too! I really enjoyed this but I do not think I'd get it again. The experience of trying each and every soup dumpling felt more like a one off thing on a bucket list. I would come back here the next time I'm in the area. I have so much more food to sample!

    Taro Latte
    Pilar C.

    We absolutely love the bubble tea here! On this occasion we got the Taro Latte, the Coconut Smoothie, a Thai Milk tea and an Oreo Black Milk tea, as well as some pan fried pork buns. The drinks were spectacular! Kids gave each of their drinks a 5/5. Having tried all of them, I'd say the best were the Thai Milk Tea and the coconut smoothie. The taro is more on the sweet side, so I recommend asking for it a little less sweet, since it's easy to ask for more sweetener if you feel it needs more. The cups are so cute too, definitely reusable! The staff are really friendly and they even have one of those robots that take your drinks to your table. The restaurant itself is really cute, super clean and the bathrooms impecable! Definitely a great place overall!

    Spicy and 3. Sichuan Hot & Sour Noodles (Vegetarian)
    Divya J.

    The flavors were quite good and I liked the addition of crunchy soya beans. But quite oily. The food was good, but nothing exceptional. The bokchoy tasted very strange. Good ambience and quick service.

    Golden Soup Chicken Wonton
    Dionna A.

    Superb. The food is very flavorful & great prices! The service is literally awesome and quick! I will be coming again & again lol Very beautiful inside as well! You can come in and sit anywhere if dinning in. Very clean and easy to find in the city!

    7. Lucky Six Soup Dumpling (6) / 六彩小笼包 (6粒)

    Ordered takeout, dumplings were delicious and staff was friendly. I'll definitely return for future dinners.

    I came here on Christmas Day in the evening for dinner, and I was honestly so impressed. Since I didn't have to travel out of town, I decided to stop by -- and wow, everything was so delicious. I ordered the soup dumplings, steamed egg, rice, and a Thai tea, and I loved every single thing. The service was super friendly, and the ambience was beautiful and relaxing. I really enjoyed my experience and can't wait to come back. Definitely recommend if you're looking for authentic dumplings in the D.C. area!

    Strawberry mango Green Tea with Lychee
    Sarah M.

    Such a cute spot! The green tea tasted so good and the lychee was yummy. It is kinda pricey, but I do enjoy it. They have food here so I definitely wanna come back and try it.

My waitress was great she was super sweet and super quick with assisting us with our meal and breaking down what we were thinking about ordering! We started with the crab wontons they were really good and the main attraction for everyone when I posted it on social media. We got the fried rice it was delicious, the bbq platter is honestly the best option you get all the meats except the duck which I will need to go back and have. The potatoes were out of this world ! When I saw it on the menu I truly wasn't that excited once I tasted one I was mind blown. The flavor is so unique and so hard to wrap your mind around it's truly bursting with flavor. The cucumber salad is also really good. They deserve every Michelin star that they have been granted the food is truly just that good. I would absolutely recommend coming here. The resturant is clean as well as the bathroom

Overall it's not a bad spot, but it just didn't exceed where I hoped it would, and while the food didn't really shine, neither did the service. The space is really awesome, and the menu gives you a lot of hope. But fewer hits than expected. The Crab Wontons were out, the jeau lanh (sp?) was not bad, but not that great, the char siu pork was my favorite, but the fried rice and noodles were not cooked at a high enough temperature to taste remotely authentic. Cocktail list looked awesome, cocktails were all just fine, we had 4 of them. Best dish was the monkey bread for dessert! Probably won't be back, but not a horrible spot.

    I rate restaurants within their category and concept. I am not comparing a local Chinese restaurant…read moreto a Michelin star dining experience. If a place delivers strong execution, quality flavors, and exceeds expectations for what it is trying to be, that earns a top rating from me. Chili Wok did exactly that. We recently visited Alexandria and had an excellent meal from start to finish. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well prepared, and arrived tasting fresh and intentional. The soup dumplings were a standout. The wrappers held together nicely, the filling was savory and juicy, and each bite had that satisfying burst of broth you hope for when ordering them. The fried rice was also very well done. It had great wok flavor, proper texture, and did not feel greasy or heavy, which is where many places miss the mark. The sweet and sour ribs were another highlight. They had a great balance of sweetness and tang, with tender meat and enough texture to keep them interesting. A dish that can sometimes feel one note was handled really well here. Beyond the food, the overall experience was strong. When every dish lands and nothing disappoints, that says a lot about the consistency of the kitchen. Overall, Chili Wok delivered exactly what I hope for in this category: flavorful food, solid technique, and an enjoyable dining experience. Easy 5 stars, and I would gladly return.

It was container of boiled bok choy, boiled white meat chicken, and tasted of some cheap raw garlic. It was so bad it made the white rice taste bad. Zero ginger flavor at all. Zero.
