Best Dishes D.C. Editors Ate This Week: October 24 | Eater DC

"On a recent visit, the sleeper hit at Logan Circle institution Yum’s II Carryout was the steak and cheese. Neon-yellow signage spelling out its “Chinese food-seafood-subs” tagline leads the way to a beacon for walk-in orders past 2 a.m. Dozens upon dozens of menu items listed around the perimeter of the square-shaped interior can be intimidating, but I took the cashier’s suggestion and went with the gooey, six-inch hoagie ($8.45), jam-packed with steak and all-the-right ratios of lettuce, tomato, and mayo from start to finish. The recommended move was also getting General Tso’s with sauce on the side to do DIY dunks of the crispy chicken bites as you please. Lo mein comes eight ways, but after all that meat I’m glad I went with the vegetable kind. The small portion was still big, and the slippery noodles basically busted through the carton upon opening ($8.95). While waiting inside for my heavy to-go bag, the crowd was a rotating door of food delivery drivers, off-the-clock industry folks, and couples." - Tierney Plumb
