Absolutely delicious, this place has been on my bucket list for a long time to visit. Today, I did and we totally enjoyed it. A simple dish like Potstickers was outstanding but the handmade Chinese Sausage was amazing. Followed by Spicy Beef Noodle and Pork Belly was amazing. This restaurant is for true foodies, connoisseurs and aficionados of great food. I highly recommend this unique restaurant.
Don't let appearances fool you, it may look like a hole in the wall, but the food is on point. We got our order in and the waitress/hostess was very helpful for us and another table looking to explore the menu. We had the mapo tofu, hot soup with chicken, pork potstickers and Chinese sausage.
The mapo tofu sauce has a gravy or meat sauce consistency, the tofu is very soft and will easily yield to a little pressure. I liked the spiciness very hot, but didn't chance the devil's spicy, maybe next time.
I'll have to come back another time to try the soup dumplings and beef noodle soup.
I go here regularly - a definite diamond in the rough, tucked away in a quiet corner of McLean.
I usually get the Chongqing Spicy Noodles (mild) and the homemade pork dumplings. And finish it all off with one of my favorite desserts - sesame balls (round sweet rice balls with sweet red bean paste on the inside, sprinkled with sesame seeds on the outside).
Everyone there is very friendly, the food comes out relatively quickly, and I’ve never had a bad experience in an respect.
Definitely worth trying.
