"This Arlington Chinese food destination works well for groups because there are the large circular tables and borderline ridiculous portion sizes. Groups can come together over large plates of slippery Grandma’s noodles and crispy golden chicken. They also recently added an all-you-can-eat lunch situation." - Missy Frederick
"The Arlington location now offers an all-you-can-eat lunch menu ($32, available on weekends) featuring roughly 40 dishes — from icons like bamboo fish and the epic scallion bubble pancake to items used to sample beyond usual orders, like Mongolian beef and salt and pepper shrimp. There's a particularly extensive dim sum selection, though many traditional Sichuan dishes from the regular menu aren't available. Smart limitations aim to prevent waste: each order comes as a small-plate portion (you can reorder), all table members must participate, you can't bring home a doggy bag, and there's a surcharge for creating excess leftovers — a format that gives smaller parties more variety but still makes you want to bring a group." - Eater Staff
"Peter Chang’s first restaurant is one place fans can reliably find signature dishes from the well-known former Chinese embassy chef, whether it be dry-fried eggplant, bamboo fish, or giant scallion bubble pancakes. Sample the excellent chow fun that often appears on the specials list, or delve into other dishes like the crunchy golden chicken and the homey Grandma’s noodles. The Arlington restaurant offers carryout via phone orders or online orders on its website, with delivery via DoorDash. The fast-growing brand opened a new location in McLean, with more suburbia outposts on the way. Its beloved Baltimore sibling NiHao landed in National Landing last spring." - Tierney Plumb
