"The last Chinatown storefront with a front window full of roasted ducks, Chinatown Express is a DC institution that must be protected at all costs. The ducks that beckoned you in are precisely what you should order, preferably in a steaming bowl of broth with a mess of those noodles being hand-pulled behind the counter. Sure, there are plenty of other solid choices on the menu (when a place is this beloved by locals, it’s a good bet that every dish delivers), but explore those after you’ve crossed that duck soup off your DC dining bucket list. Once that’s settled, go wild—even though the duck is the dynamo, truly nothing here disappoints. photo credit: Nina Palazzolo photo credit: Nina Palazzolo photo credit: Nina Palazzolo Pause Unmute" - Allison Robicelli
