We absolutely love the Tiki Room, especially since it's connected to House of Fu Ling -- it makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the food is consistently amazing. Jenny is wonderful, and we always love seeing Ms. Lin and Mr. Foo They truly make you feel like family. The hospitality is just as impressive as the food. Honestly, I've never had a single dish there that I didn't like. Everything we've tried has been delicious, which just makes me excited to keep working our way through the menu and discover even more favorites. Such a fantastic spot -- we'll definitely keep coming back. read more

I absolutely love this place. After each visit, I'm usually thinking about my next visit. First, the Tiki Room has a pretty extensive tiki drink menu, and my favorite beverage so far is the Saturn. They are willing to modify your beverage to your liking. Unfortunately, the Saturn is not served in a fun Tiki mug; however, my waitresses always have been happy to let me know that they are willing to tell the bartender to prepare my beverage in a fun mug. Also, I love gin, but the restaurant has only 2-3 gin-based drinks. However, the waitress told me that I could substitute gin for the Tiki drinks. It appears that this restaurant is a favorite by locals. One cool thing that I've noticed during my visits is that many of the regulars are on a first name basis with the staff. In addition to being on a first name basis, the staff and some customers seem to know quite a bit about each other. To me, this interaction is amazing! Why? It shows that many customers have been dining at the restaurant for so long that they have formed somewhat substantial relationships with the staff. Although we are not regulars...yet, the owners were very friendly and chatty with us, especially during the visit when we sat at the bar. Since it has been a while from my last visit to writing my review, I've forgotten what I ordered my visits, but I remember enjoying the food on both visits. During one visit, I ordered the branzino, which was one of the specials for the day, and I remember wanting to order another order because it was so delicious. All in all, come for the Tiki drinks and stay for the food. read more

Very extensive tiki drink menu with something for everyone. We ordered pork and shrimp dumplings. Both were excellent. Clearly a lot of regulars frequent this bar/restaurant and we were told by multiple patrons that there isn't a bad dish on the menu. I might be back for lunch this week because the food smelled that good! read more

This place is called the house of fooling. And let me tell you, it is the most authentic asian restaurant in the whole dmv. Their peking duck is TO DIE FOR!!! read more

We came here for the Tiki Bar which is not separately advertised. It's at the back of the Chinese restaurant. Although there is nothing dividing the two there is a distinctly different feel at the bar. Great tasting cocktails although not all classically prepared. They were all well balanced and the Black Magic particularly had the right amount of coffee flavor. Also enjoyed some meaty pork spareribs, some shrimp dumplings and edamame. Servers were attentive and friendly and the owner was constantly walking around making sure everyone was happy. Would definitely go back. read more

Time travel back to the Cheever-esque, Mad Men era, in suburban Chevy Chase. The Tiki Room is perfect for what it is. The place is located in a Chinese restaurant. Not like a separate bar, it is literally in the restaurant. I'm not even sure there's a sign for it outside. But they make great, inexpensive tiki drinks. The decor is tacky to a T, as it should be. The staff couldn't be nicer. And if you get hungry the Chinese food is rather good. read more

Great place with amazing food and drinks! The owner truly takes pride in his restaurant. From the moment we walked in he made us feel like family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food with a personal touch! read more

I had read about this place and was wondering where it was and why I hadnt heard of it. It turns out it is just a repurposed side of the Foo Ling Restaurant. Having said that, it was a great place to roll in sit at the bar and watch some sports and order some great food. I will definitely go back. read more

Great tiki drinks and atmosphere and good classic Chinese food, in a cozy space within House of Foong Lin

So maybe I'm kinda slow, but it took me walking to the literal front door of this place and squinting at the menu to realize that "The Tiki Room" doesn't exist. Oh, it exists, mind you, but it's what they call the bar in be back of the House of Foong Lin Chinese Restaurant. That said, they have good Chinese food and a fun drink menu. It seems to be very popular with locals and the bar filled up quickly as the afternoon got closer to dinner time. I feel like you definitely need to wear a fun camp / Hawaiian shirt when you come to make the experience that much better. The service was good and the drinks were good as well as the food. I will be back! read more

The tiki bar is open! And it's kinda cool. Yes, it's in the back of a Chinese restaurant... but don't despair. The food is excellent as well. We tried some well made tiki cocktails, including a mai tai and a hurricane. Tasted like fresh fruit juices and certainly packed a good punch. We will definitely come back for more! read more

Coronavirus Update: The House of Foong-Lin is still open for carryout and delivery AND that includes their great cocktails! Take them home, add ice, and forget this mess. Ha. Fantastic cocktails and a friendly, attentive staff. This is a great tiki bar attached to an old-school Chinese restaurant. Stop in to see Chef Fu and and Ms. Ling for an evening you won't forget! Thursday nights are Tiki Thirstday, with delicious $6 drink specials and lots of tiki regulars that will make for a great evening. read more

i came down the street for an event to which they were serving only beer, womp womp. so i found this place via yelp and it happened to thursday which is when they have drink specials until close. for those who dont know this bar is within a chinese restaurant called the house of foong lin. i am really big fan of mai tai's, so i was pretty surprised to find this place even existed. i am so happy i found this place!! there are three drinks which are on $ six dollar list. the drinks are quite strong. i was expected watered fruity punch. this was nothing like that i got a mai tai bamboo zombie all of them were excellent!!! i would love to come back to try some their other more complex drinks but these were excellent i did not get any food ambiance: i think this another selling point, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. the guys who started the whole tiki night were there and so was owner, all the bartenders were very nice . i could not have asked for a friendlier crowd price: incredible! great deal parking street or garage, a bit hard to find for free though overall: yes!!!! read more

BTW The Tiki Room is the House of Foong Lin. Same place, same everything. Just don't look for a sign that reads "Tiki Room". The sign says "House of Foon Lin". read more

The food was horrible and the staff was just as horrible as the food. The workers there are extremely rude and don't take into consideration customers needs . They also had flies flying around their food. read more

The Tiki Room at House of Foong Lin is THE place to be on Thursdays in DC. TikiThirstday specials all night long, $6 Mai Tai 44s, plus two other drink specials. #TikiThirstday was initiated by local DC area tikiphiles, and has been going strong for over 5 years as of 2019. The bar decor construction and work was done by members of the group, and mugs and decorations continue to be donated. Don't have an aloha shirt of your own? Borrow one of the many donated ones lining the hallway to the restrooms. They're cleaned regularly, to be sure, and they'll help you get into the tiki spirit. While not operating exclusively as a tiki bar (this is a Chinese restaurant), the bar decor, available mugs, and vintage cocktail recipes are all on point. You're not going to find a $6 mai tai anywhere else in DC. The food is also delicious; get your usual favorite and try something new too - the extensive menu has a wide variety options for all types of palates. read more

Tiki night or not Tiki night here you'll leave with a smile on your face and full! The food is always so good! The crispy beef is what my dreams are made of! Sweet, salty, lil' spicy, and crunchy... drooling thinking about it. The honey chicken is also one of my favs!! I've had so many different things off the menu I actually haven't had anything I haven't loved!! The cocktails!!! They are doing these right!!! Want a real Mai tai in the area and this is the place to go! They are making some amazing authentic tiki cocktails here! The Navy Grog is one of my all time fav cocktail ever and they do it justice here!! So good!! Service! Always so friendly. I know I'll get a friendly greeting!! These are some amazing people who work and run this place! Supporting a local business has never been easier!!! Chef Fu and Ling are are amazing people! Tiki night (Thursday's) are always so fun. Lots of laughs and colors in a fun and easy environment!! Totally highly recommend!!! read more

It's like Tiki Valhalla. Have you ever gone to an event and never wanted it to end? This was like that. My wife and I took a birthday trip to the DC area last week. Being sorta novices on the tiki scene we scheduled the trip to coincide with Tiki Thursday at House of Foong Lin to check it out. This proved to pretty much ruin any other tiki experience for us in the future. It was like attending a party where everyone knew each other and you were the newbies. That lasted about 15 seconds. We were immediately welcomed with a booming, "Aloha!" from Jeff, founder of the event. He told us the history of the room, the nuances of the drink menu and introduced the regulars before meandering around the room. Pete came up and introduced himself as did Bryan and Sean. Pretty soon we were in a room full of new friends, great food and tasty concoctions. This was one of the most pleasant surprises/great birthday treats I can remember. I was treated to a great piece of mango cake and a song from the room (and a wonderful act of kindness from Pete). It was one of those rare nights you wish lasted longer. I stuck with the Sneaky Tiki and my wife had the Tiki Barrel. Both very tasty and got you there quick. Oh, of you have your own tiki mug, bring it. Everyone else (but us) did. The room was full on tiki with the bamboo walls, soft lights from the ceiling, blow fish decorations and South Pacific on the big TV behind the bar. TLDR: If you can swing it, do yourself a favor and go have a nice dinner, sample the drinks and make some new pals in this great little place. read more

Tikiphiles will love this place. Top notch cocktails and a great atmosphere, especially on Thursdays when dozens of sociable tiki enthusiasts regularly show up. On top of that, the food is terrific and the folks who run the place are great (their staff too). Definitely try the Mai Tai 44 and the shrimp dumpling appetizer. If you're lucky, lobster egg foo young might be one of the specials. Or soft shell crabs. Actually, the menu is full of great options. read more

The Tiki Room at House of Foong Lin is fantastic. The cocktails are well crafted, the decor is escapist and detailed, the staff is very friendly, and the food...well, my wife and I travel 90 mins from Baltimore to eat here whenever we can if that says anything. Thursdays are a particularly fun night to show up, as there are local Tikiphiles that do a meet up and are always ready to spread some aloha and swap stories over a scorpion bowl. read more

Starting from humble beginnings this bar as really taken off over the years. A caring staff and local customers, both making this place happening. They've really taken the time to get drink recipes down. The atmosphere has continued to evolve over time. Can't wait to go back and hit a Tiki Thirstday one day. read more

Scene was awesome, vibe was great, and the live music was the cherry on top! However-the service was very slow and the food was lukewarm upon being brought to me. I don't blame it on our server at all, she was sweet & did her best with a super busy Saturday night. I think either a better sections to server ratio or cutting down the distance they have to go might make service better. It took 30 mins for our drinks to come after ordering and the closest bar was right in front of us. Nevertheless, I had a good time and will come back! read more
