Tony Cheng

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! We came for the Peking duck and it did not disappoint — so authentic, crispy, and flavorful. Every dish we ordered was packed with fresh ingredients, especially the fried rice which was generously loaded with shrimp. The veggies were crisp and delicious, and unlike a lot of American-style food that’s too salty or too sweet, everything here was perfectly balanced and seasoned just right. The service was also top-tier. The waiters and waitresses were incredibly kind and attentive — constantly checking in to make sure we were comfortable, but in the warmest, most genuine way. It really felt like they cared. I would 100% come back again. This is the kind of place where you want to tip well because both the food and service are truly on point. Highly recommend!

We went to Chinatown with so many different choices. We decided to try this place.. now you must be able to walk stairs to get to the top. But once you get up there, it is a wonderful surprise. I really like the set up of the dining area and tables.. The food was very good. We enjoyed it and would come back here again.

Just wanted to share our recent experience at this restaurant we checked out. So, we arrived around 7pm and surprisingly, there were no other customers—just the owners and a couple of servers. We looked over the menu and decided to give it a try since the restaurant has quite an impressive history and a lot of accomplishments posted on the wall. We had pretty high hopes for the food. But honestly, when we tried it, the taste was pretty ordinary, nothing special at all. To be frank, we were quite disappointed. The real kicker came when we went to pay and noticed that our bill already had a 20% tip preset, which we weren’t aware of. When we asked the server about it, he looked confused at the bill, then changed the tip to 18%. It felt like he assumed we wouldn’t catch on or care, which honestly felt like an attempt to scam us. We even spoke to the owner who was sitting right there in the restaurant, and all he said was, “Your server did a good job serving you?” Like, seriously? Our whole point is that customers should be the ones to decide how much tip to give. The nerve to question us over it was ridiculous. So, next time you visit this place, definitely check your bill carefully. For us, it’s just not worth it—there are plenty of other great restaurants around that offer better experiences. Just thought you should know!

Although it appears a bit pricey, food portions and quality are of value. Just make sure to ask for more rice to give yourself a good ratio to the entree. Soup dumplings were great and the Sizzling combination was very good. Loaded with all the proteins although hard to tell from picture without digging in. Restaurant setting is a bit, old, dingy, musty but in a non-chain way. Food came quick. Staff is no nonsense and to the point. Neither nice or mean. Just matter of fact. Restaurant was to capacity just after the usual lunch rush.

This place is great for families and has great drinks. It gave us the option of using chopsticks. Tony Chang has sweet sauce and cheesy chicken. I ordered some scrumptious shrimp spring rolls and some nice rice which came with delicious scrambled eggs. I got chewy, hot, spicy meat with soft mushrooms. The restaurant had wonderful speggeti with the BEST SHRIMP. I also got some warm and flavorful Wonton soup which became my favorite and came with something that was crunch and chip-like. They gave us some exciting fortune cookies which some of the kids thought were pointless😉. The atmosphere is wonderful and peaceful. Overall, Tony Cheng had excellent food and is one of the best restaurants I've went to with the exceptions of Don Churro Resturant in Chantilly and KikiRiki Restaurant in Woodbridge which no one can beat!!!😁😁😁

The duck was delicious, but everything else we had was just okay! The drinks had fun names and all, but they weren’t very good cocktails especially for the price. It was a fun experience but not very worth it to go again..

I was visiting with family from Philly and wanted to try the Chinese food in DC. The service was great. Waiter and waitress was super nice. They refill our drink and service us great. We love our waiter, he did an amazing job taking care of us and letting my nephew take picture with the lobster. When I saw the service charge I automatically know it mean tips so I had no problem paying the service charge. We was planing on tipping around 20% anyways so we had no problem. The food however was alittle salty. I wish the duck was crispier. The walnut shrimp was alil over cooked. But I did enjoy the fried noodle and the Chinese broccoli.

Really surprised by the negative reviews. Even though most are complaints about cost and a service charge (18% automatic gratuity)… as if most of you just go out without any intention of tipping… 🙄 We were in town for a Marathon and were staying walking distance to Chinatown and came across Tony Cheng’s on a quick Apple Maps search and everything was absolutely delicious. Were prices on the “higher” end? Sure. But food at Applebees is $18 now. The decor is stuck in the 80’s but it made the experience that much better, as we all enjoyed the atmosphere as well. We ordered the soup dumplings, fried meat dumplings, orange chicken, sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and vegetable lo mein. Every dish we had was talked about for days, as being one of our favorite Asian meals in a long time. Service was absolutely wonderful as well, as about 3 different servers checked on us, delivered our food, cleaned up our plates, etc. I requested the sesame chicken to be on the spicy side, and they happily obliged and brought me out a chili oil in case the dish wasn’t spicy enough. It was perfect. We had no problem paying the 18% service charge, because we’re decent people who always tip atleast 20%, in this case, we ended up nearly doubling it and tipping extra because we had such a great experience, delicious meal, and fabulous service. 10/10 would return to Tony Cheng’s at any given opportunity when we’re back in DC.

Have been coming here for over 13 years....they have been consistent...great food, great service . Recommend sesame shrimp, combo fried rice, roast pork, chicken in wine sauce, broccoli in garlic...ok I love it all. Worth the drive every time...don't mind paying for parking.

The restaurant's ambiance was kind of gloomy inside. And food was not that fresh especially the pecking duck cantonese style. It was not the typical pecking duck as it was dredged with a dark soy based sauce that beats the authentic taste of its meat and so are all the food that we ordered, all covered with the dark sauces. Food can be improved alot more.

We had to make a stop in Chinatown on a visit to DC. A friend of someone in my group heard good things about this place from a friend so we stopped in. I will have to admit, it looked a little sketchy going in. We went up a dark stairway and were greeted by empty fish tanks. The decor definitely needed serious updating. Although the service was good, staff was friendly and our food came out quickly. Now on to the important stuff, the food. It was actually pretty good, some of the best Chinese food I've had in a while. We ordered a number the dishes and shared and family style with each other. We had the shredded chicken and eggplant, chicken and scallions, vegetable lo mein, and my favorite though honey walnut shrimp. I always said the best Chinese restaurants are in the most questionable places. I would come back here.

Nothing worse than having high expectations that are not fulfilled and still charged you for it. Stay far away from this has been place. All the pictures of the owner with "celebrities" don't add to anything if your staff is sub standard and your food is quick to follow that low water mark. My wife, my daughter and myself decided to make a trip to DCs Chinatown for a tasty dinner of authentic chinese cuisine. Unfortunately we came across Tony's place. First thing I noticed was the sitting arrangement, we are taken way to the back and sat down next to what used to be the bar which is now the home for the different electronics used for ordering and paying such as the credit card machines. So my view instead of enjoying a chinese decor is of cables, boxes of electronics and phones getting charged on top of the bar counter!!! If I would glance to my left I could appreciate the stacks of boxes containing all the fortune cookies, plastic cutlery and similar items used for takeout food. Well the place was full so on we go. We are given paper takeout menus because apparently Tony doesn't like to spend money on proper dine in menus. Water glasses are swiftly brought out along with a small plate and a fork for each one of us. Less then 5 minutes later a harsh, military type of waiter asks if we are ready to order to which I answer no since we are still in shock of the many items on the menu and the extremely high prices for each. Five minutes later same question comes up, and no mention of "any questions?" "anything to drink?" once again my answer is no. Five minutes more a different waiter approaches with the question of the night "ready to order?" this time I asked a question to which a answer was given and then we placed our order. I asked for chopsticks because I enjoy eating asian food that way, I guess not been asian they took it for granted that I couldn't use them. We were handed a very unsanitary set that where simply picked up by the waiter from a box. No wrapping on them, just his bare hands that had been touching who knows what! The arrived in a usual time frame like any chinese restaurant, so nothing special to elevate the prices to the level seen in the menu. My sesame chicken was a mixture of left over batter refried with a few pieces of chicken dark meat . So at the end after a very unpleasant experience without asking how was the food or if we cared for anything resembling a dessert we are handed a check totalling 93.95 whic included a 20% tip for a worthless service experience. It seems that the staff feels entitled to receive the hard earned earnings of their patrons for sub standard service. Never again will this place receive my visit and I advise all to stay clear.

Food was outstanding! Service was great. Close to Capital One Arena. Will definitely go back.

Upon entering Tony Cheng, I realized I was in a beautiful, classical Chinese restaurant with uniformed waiters and white table cloths. The atmosphere was quiet, as there were few diners at an early hour (5:30). The cocktails were very good, and our dinners were served with grace and ease. We had hot and sour soup (excellent), fried dumplings (good), spring rolls (excellent), chicken with broccoli (excellent), duck with asparagas (good). What I appreciated the most was the warm, welcoming atmosphere. And even though it's considered a seafood restaurant, it serves meat, vegetarian, and vegan options. I would definitely return again and again.

This is what I call authentic Chinese food compared to your local take outs. It's not about counting calories or eating healthy here. It's about real good Chinese food for the most part. The coconut shrimp was saucy, juicy, and huge. Probably on the greasy side for most people but I loved it. The sesame chicken was not satisfying. It was a little hard and dry. It was below average that I didn't even finish it. Don't order this. The sizzling beef with black pepper sauce. was one of the best beefs I've had in a Chinese restaurant! The name says it all. It was saucy enough to add onto ur rice. The beef came sizzling hot and delicious! The water here doesn't taste good in my opinion, but the food here is worth coming. Maybe get a soda? Although the inside of the place seems outdated, it still gives authentic vibes of Chinatown. It's clean and big.

NO MORE DIM SUM! Used to love this place, but it's changed a lot since COVID and them cutting costs. They no longer have dim sum, and if you ask, they huffily say no and immediately leave your table before you can order. We got the beef chow fun and general Tso's chicken. Both were mediocre. Hot and soup was ok but probably from a mix. I'm not going to come back ever again.

Great authentic Chinese food. Dine in or carry out available. ORDER: * Honey Walnut Shrimp * My all time favorite shrimp fried and smothered in a slightly sweet creamy sauce dressed with toasted walnuts. Thrilled for this entree as you don't always see honey walnut on the menu; I savored each bite. Paired with fresh steamed rice; chef's kiss. * Sizzling Steak * This steak was tender and juicy. It came sizzling and the gentleman poured the black pepper sauce when he brought it out. It was amazing. Accompanied with some cooked mushrooms and paired with combination fried rice. * Combination Fried Rice * Delicious fried rice cooked with chicken, steak and shrimp. This fried rice was legit. Filling alone or pair it with any other entree on the menu. SIDES: * Hot & Sour Soup * One of my favorite soups that has a little kick of spice, tofu, bamboo shoots and green onions. The soup comes with the crispy crunch bites that make each warm bite of soup perfect with a slight crunch. SERVICE: The service was absolutely exquisite. Warm welcome max water topped off. The timing on ordering was perfect and the waiter checked us frequently. The entire staff was amazing. LOCATION/FACILITY: China Town / 2nd Floor of Tony Cheng's. PARKING: Public Parking next to the restaurant. PAYMENT METHOD: Cash or car SUMMARY: I love this restaurant as it's authentic. The staff is excellent and the food is delicious. They have items on the m eh that you don't always see on a Chinese restaurant menu in America unless you're in specific areas (such as this area in China Town). Items include, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Crispy Pan Fried Noodles, and Hot & Sour Soup. hope they continue to stay around for years to come.

Don't charge for service if you didn't provide any. That's just wrong. Get better exhaust or clean you kitchen.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in dc Chinatown. Really clean, spacious (the Chinese restaurant is upstairs and Mongolian restaurant is downstairs). Very nice service and the food is more delicious than other places in the area. They even helped me pack my to-go food.

Outstanding old school Chinese food! We had the chicken in black bean sauce, which was delicious! Also had the chicken fried rice, which was so perfect no soy sauce was needed. The egg drop soup was perfect! The vibe is a throw back to the neighborhood Chinese restaurant (from NY) and the service was great! We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Food terrible and no Service. They will charged your service Fee. Don't go there. Food was not fresh at all and disgusting.

Service was not what I would call friendly but at least our server was efficient and got our orders right. Our food was good, as always. I got the shrimp with cashews and mushrooms; my partner ordered General Tso chicken. Both were tasty. The place was not terribly busy and still it took 48 minutes to get our meals. One important thing to note: They automatically include the tip charge on the check AND they do their best to hide that from customers in an attempt to get more tip money. Beware!!!

This seafood restaurant operates regular dining on the second floor and a banquet hall on the third floor. The banquet hall fits around 24 round tables. With Lunar New Year dinner, it began with the ground beef and egg drops soup, which had filled ingredients. The chicken cubes with peanuts were heavily sauced. The fried rice in lotus leaves had great flavor. In the beef with Chinese broccoli, beef was tender and broccolis were in good softness. Broiled shrimps were so-so, and needed the garlic and scallions sauce to pair with. The BBQ pork ribs were heavily seasoned as well, the green pea spouts were the best fish over this dinner. The deep fried fish was served in sweet and sour sauce. There was no dessert nor fruit.

Any place that has peking duck automatically gets 3 stars from me. This spot also had some SOLID tasting pan fried noodles and alcoholic drinks! My friends lived the honey walnut shrimp, and as an avid honey walnut shrimp person myself, I was pleased. The duck was standard and tasty. It was very empty when we went at 4pm on a Friday but it's definitely a staple in Chinatown! Also sooooo many unique drinks that come in a great presentation!

My brother and sister-in-law and my two nieces were in town visiting me with the intention of going sightseeing in DC. We hit all the major monuments at the National Mall then decided to stop by Chinatown for lunch. We asked a random Asian man on the street for recommendations after we parked and he suggested Tony Cheng. It was shortly after noon on a weekday. I was surprised to see how empty the restaurant was and I was worried that the food wasn't going to be any good. I did notice that it's been several years since they last received an award. We ordered a bunch of items to share including the crispy crab wontons, fried dumplings, Mongolian beef, General Tso's chicken, Combo Lo Mein, and a side of fried rice. If I had to rate the food it was about average. Nothing to write home about. I've definitely had better, but it wasn't terrible. I understand that we're going through a pandemic and the restaurant may have been busy preparing take out orders, but they were so short-staffed they couldn't adequately provide service to their dine-in patrons. There were only two other tables seated in the restaurant and I had to go around back to flag our server to request some knives and it took her awhile to bring it to us. When I asked multiple friends, colleagues, and acquaintances for recommendations for Chinese food in Chinatown, there was a consensus that Chinatown no longer serves good, authentic food and this establishment confirmed it.

Wanted some food in Chinatown following a convention, saw Tony Cheng's and decided to try it. Nicely decorated, a little dated if anything but overall pretty clean. Very quiet when walked in around 12:30 pm. Seated immediately and were given menus. Food was excellent and waitress was friendly. Would recommend.

Please try any means to avoid this restaurant! I'm a Chinese and the food offered in this restaurant is nothing authentic. In addition, they tasted awful! The rice they provide is less than half bowl!!! They add 20% service fee on top of AFTER tax! After tax? And there is no sign in the store telling you about the service fee!!! Please do not fall in this tourist trap! Im too mad to take food picture but include my receipt as a proof. So mad! An update - my son got some food poisoning after back to hotel!!! The food must be dirty!!!

a few dishes like eggplant are delicious, but some are underwhelming like clay pot. The half pecking duck end up with only quarter.

I visited this restaurant for a dinner with friends on a Sunday night. As soon as we went in, i loved the interior design of the restaurant including the nice, fancy chandelier. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the building and we had to use stairs, i did not see any elevator but we don't have problems with that. We were seated pretty quick, our server was nice and friendly and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. He did also engage by talking to us about our country, coz he guessed we are from the Philippines. Let's talk about the food! We ordered, calamari, crispy breaded pork chops and chicken fried rice and they all taste good. I especially love their calamari, it was crispy and well seasoned. Overall, we had a nice experience at this place and would definitely go back.

Went on a Sunday. Took about 10 mins for the waiter to come and asked us what we wanted to order. Very friendly guy walks up and asks what would we like to order. We tell him our order, including mentioning the shellfish allergy my husband has. My husband ordered combination Lo Mein (no shellfish) and I ordered Shrimp Fried Rice. Food comes out. Very huge portions by the way. The food was good however my Shrimp fried rice was scorched. I was hungry so I ate it anyway. Moving past the scorched flavor, it was very delicious! The facility has had no new renovation updates, except the fact that the Mongolian Grill restaurant on Floor 1 is no longer open, and hasn't been for the last 4 years. I would have to say....the customer service/waiting service was minimal. They did not ask us if the food was okay, or check on us personally however they were prompt in watching the table to see if we needed refills, to go containers or the check & the tip. I would go here again if the rice is not scorched, but with the expectation that the waiter is not really talking to you. The food is a little pricey. For shrimp Fried Rice it was $19.95 and for combination Lo Mein (No shellfish) it was $18.95. Any other seafood dishes began at the $23.95 range. My negative review is of the bathroom. For going on a Sunday at 1:30pm, only a few customers in the restaurant, the bathrooms should be fairly clean. The counter (see video) and stalls were gross. Didn't take a pic of the stall, but I had to wipe the toliet seat off (gross). Hold your bladder if ya go. Parking is on the street. Some areas might require payment for parking but others are free.

Went to the place on a Friday at 7:30. Only has two table. Place is dirty and dark. Service is good. Food is expensive and salty. Also no dim sum. Would avoid if possible.

First Review of the new year. My co-workers and I decided to try a local place known for Dim Sum (Chinese cuisine served on small plates with small portions - Cantonese). I tried it once and wanted to share the experience. I didn't get that feeling from the menu or the presentation. Not at all, although the menu says it is a Dim Sum menu, that wasn't the case. The decor and vibe definitely gave me something that I am not used to. The Chinese food places in Oklahoma and Texas are usually carryout. I got the feel of a fine dining experience. It's not often Duck is skinned and hanging as decor. As we entered the restaurant, there were two levels - one for mongolian and one for chinese. We opted to go upstairs for chinese. The dishes and placement were nice - fine china. There were also chopsticks provided. The place looked clean but the water did not taste pure (not sure if it was the ice or water). We were treated nice, menu explained in detail. Far to much for a lunch setting. We opted to get to-go boxes. There is a strict two (2) packet rule per entree. I love soy sauce so I was disappointed. My entree was $14 (drink not included). I opted for the lunch portion of combination fried rice. It did not include a spring roll or egg roll. That price shoulda afforded me more soy sauce, but it didn't. The food was good but not extra fancy, something I would get at a takeout.

We had dinner there two weeks ago. We ordered two chef specials: duck with asparagus and seafood with mixed vegetables. They are about $30 for each. We expected them to be good since they are chef specials and they're not cheap. We were very disappointed with the duck dish. It had very few duck pieces with meat, most were skin and bone. It was covered in black bean sauce and quite salty. The sea food dish was slightly better but not really good either. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience because of the quality of the food and the high price.

My go to place when in DC. Located on Chinatown close to the metro stop, it sits in an eclectic area of town. I have tried other dim sum joints in the area, but this is one of the better ones. Good variety and tasty food, comparable to some of my favorite places back home. Service is pretty good and the prices are a little on the high side. But it usually pretty crowded on the weekends, especially on Sunday, so it is a local favorite.

If you want great Chinese food, definitely visit this restaurant. It's not the most fancy but the food is delicious and the wait staff is great! Whenever we're in DC, we try to hit Chinatown to visit Tony Cheng's.

Food was great! Fast, friendly and delicious! Found this while wondering through Chinatown. Definitely worth the stop.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because it's busy, but we've been seated and nobody has come over to take our order.

Food was okay. Service had to be asked for, they didn't really check on us. Credit card machine wifi was down so they asked us for cash. Had the audacity to ask for more tip even though it was a restaurant issue. Tip would have been more adequate if the credit card machine was working, instead we had to make an extra trip to the ATM.

First floor is Mongolian food and second floor is Chinese food. Food, service, prices and bar selection are all very good.

First time customer, in town for Business & recommended by a local. Arrived late 8:30pm and there was only 1 other table in their upstairs Seafood place which was nice since it was quiet. I guess downstairs is traditional Chinese food but it wasn't open. Greeted by friendly waiter and provided us menus. We decided on 3 dishes: 1) Chicken fried rice: big portion and good 2) Seafood mix in dry potato bowl- this was our best dish! Fresh seafood mix of Scallops, Prawns, Calamari, & vegetables stir fried placed into a shoestring potato bowl which was odd but tasted great. 3) General Tsos Chicken - a classic dish with big chunks of chicken & a large portion. There was only 2 of us & unfortunately we couldn't finish it all so sad to leave great food behind. Service: We had 2 waiters take care of us since it was empty & they did a great job. My water glass never passed half full and they answered all our questions. I had high expectations based on my local buddies review & he was spot on. Yeah, the food isn't cheap here But its quality with big portions so it all evens out

Walked in and bus boy Seats us immediately. Doesn't say hello or anything. Just points. Waiter did not come to the table until we called him over 10 min later because we got tired of waiting.. yeah not for me.

Tony Cheng's is my absolute favorite place to get Chinese food. It is super affordable with very large portion sizes. Staff are always attentive and super nice, especially Alex! They always make us feel welcome. Our go to order is combination fried rice, spring rolls, and either the sweet and sour chicken or sizzling steak in black pepper sauce. Both are delicious!

No dim sum! Old decor Chinese restaurant that does not serve dim sum. During the relatively short amount of time I was there at least four parties asked if they served dim sum. No! Most parties left after asking. The host seemed to get more annoyed each time he was asked. Apparently, they ended dim sum over a year ago, but the word hasn't gotten out. The final time he was asked if they served dim sum he explained how expensive dim sum chefs were and that they'd have to hire two chefs and provide them with accommodations. Dim sum is an expensive endeavor. Anyway, I got a bowl of wonton soup and mapo tofu with pork. Both were fine, but not spectacular. Do not come here for dim sum.

The food was very filling. When we got there for a mid afternoon snack, you could tell this was a nice restaurant from a bygone era. Although the fixtures and decor was dated, they kept everything clean, including the bathroom. The food was reasonably priced and they were very friendly. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the decor and the walnut shrimp was a bit too sweet. Other than that, it was awesome

I have been to some of the best dim sum restaurants in DMV area. This one was underwhelming so to say. Not sure if we went at the wrong time or it's always like this. We were actually supposed to go Farmers and Distillers but we ended up here as Farmers and Distillers wait time was ridiculous. One of our friends had never had dim sum before so we thought this could be a great place to introduce him to dim sum. But to our disbelief he tells after we get a seat that he is allergic to shrimp. That's a bummer cause most of the dim sum are combination of either shrimp or pork. So we ordered just one dim sum with shrimp in it and everything else was pretty much other meat. We really liked chicken and pork dim sum. Also, roast pork, broccoli, and beef noodles were very delicious. Roast pork especially was very well cooked and juicy. It's literally floating in their soy sauce. Roast pork in other places could be a little dry but it's amazing here. Ambiance is great! Pricing is very nominal. Service was mediocre. They forgot to run their trey by us a couple of times. We had to literally wave at them multiple times. Anyways, most of the diners were fans of the Caps team and since there was game that day, it was booked with all the hockey fans.

Searched on yelp for "Tony Mongolian Restaurant", found it closed and a sign said to head upstairs and got this one which is a bit deceiving because this is American Chinese food and not traditional dishes which is what we were looking for. Prices are doubled than what I'm use to paying for typical American Chinese food. I don't know if it's cause of the area or it's just cheaper in FL. I asked if they have any Asian dishes that's not on the menu that they can make. They said no and tried to recommend the more expensive dishes. We ended up ordering beef chow fun, kung pao tofu, and the sizzling pepper beef. It was okay but wasn't "wow". I do have to say the chow fun noodles did taste fresh. The tofu was a bit too vinegary for my taste and the pepper beef could maybe use a few more slices. I wished they filled the two white rice bowls a bit more and not half assed scooped ( we are Asian and we like to eat rice!). What irked me the most was they automatically added 20% gratuity to our bill. And they have the audacity to have another line for "additional gratuity"! There was only 3 of us and our bill was $79 with tips. If I ever come back to the area I would not come again.

It was GAMEDAY and I needed to feed the boys before the Commanders game. I wanted to show the boys Chinatown and I have always enjoyed the fresh made food in that part of DC. IT WAS COLD, so we walked to a couple of places by where we parked. If you are going to that part of DC, be aware of the homeless who hit you up for cash which made it a bit uncomfortable for me and my 2 sons. We entered the establishment and went upstairs to the restaurant. It was empty so we received quick customer service from our waiter. The menu has tons of choices which complicates it for my 2 son's who eat the same chinese dish over and over. We ordered Hunan Chicken, combination fried rice, and YES Orange Chicken. The food arrived quick and as expected fresh and extremely flavourful.The portions were above average and service well ok for it being empty. Each plate approximately $20 my issue was that they charge me $14 tip without my approval....WHAT?! Well this Hispanic doesn't make DC money and didn't appreciate them charging that tip. The food good, warm but that charge came out of left field. I probably will not return on my next visit to DC or if i do, ill get a loan from CHASE.

I've been coming here for years and I think it's the best Chinese food in Chinatown. The service is great and the food is always hot. The beef with string beans is my favorite. I love their shrimp toast. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Dined here today for lunch and was so disappointed. I've been many times over the past 23 years while working nearby. This was my first opportunity post-COVID. It has fallen far from its former glory. No Mongolian Grill available and had to dine upstairs. Over-priced Chinese food that was comparable to neighboring establishments for half the price. We had numerous bugs swarming the table. Farewell ol' friend. You were my go-to for many years for work functions and large groups, but no more.

Jellyfish appetizer, good. Steamed meat dumpling, good. Pan-fried meat dumpling, very good. General Tso chicken, good. Beef brisket and tendon chow fun, good. Very kind waiter. They do add gratuity to the bill, but they are giving good service.

Was really trying to find a dim sum place!! (Please let me know if there are any more in the area!) Food: All the dishes we ordered were pretty delicious. I would eat here again for that. We got: chicken steamed buns (pretty good, could have had more chicken meatball in it) Chinese broccoli - VERY good. Made for a good pallet cleanser between dumplings. Chicken shumai - also VERY good Shrimp dumplings - good, your typical tasting Shrimp balls - pretty good, pretty packed with shrimp. If you got the shrimp dumplings I wouldn't get both. Eggplant and shrimp - pretty tasty but for the price I'd rather have tried different dishes. Egg tarts - good, your typical Service: My cousin and I just did dim sum. They refilled our waters plenty, but when it came to the people coming around with their trays they were not friendly and very in our faces. could have been because it was 2:30pm so there were not too many others in the restaurant, but the server would ask me three times if I wanted anything and still not leave. Then rolled her eyes when we said it's fine no thanks. Maybe it wasn't a good day. Ambience: kinda your typical chinese restaurant experience, really expansive place with tables big enough for families or smaller groups. Prices: Eh okay. Glad that a lot of the dishes they serve 3 dumplings, like the shrimp dumplings or chicken shumai. But the eggplant and shrimp dish it was $7.50?!! I found that weird. Overall (Dim Sum) Experience: 4 stars for food, but 3 stars because the service could be better and I'm sure there's better dim sum places in the area. Also these are some of the higher prices (in my life) I've eaten for dim sum.

I have loved this restaurant since I was young, but had not been in a while. Great service, beautiful restaurant, decent food. Wonton soup, hot and sour soup, and steamed dumplings were all delicious. Also recommend the $1 hot tea. The Kung Pao chicken was not great, felt mushy and didn't have a great taste.

My friend took me here for a throwback to the 80's. There is no parking and the lot next door is 20.00 for 2 hours and the restaurant doesn't offer any discount. The place is not handicap accessible, there are about 35 steps straight up. The food was still wonderful, but you couldn't substitute fried rice for white rice. You had buy a whole order of fried rice at full price. The waiter was not personable. When we finished and paid, the waiter did not give us a receipt. As we were leaving the concierge at the door said in a loud voice, you have to pay your check. My friend said, what are you talking about I already paid the check. He said, where is your receipt. My friend said I wasn't given one go and check with the waiter. He ran to the back of the restaurant and talked with our waiter and then yelled to the front of the restaurant where we were. You're ok, you can go now my friend. We were totally embarrassed because we were accused of stealing. My friend said to him what about an apology for accusing us of stealing. All you heard was crickets, he asked for an apology again, still no reply. This experience left a really bad taste in our mouths. We will never, ever go here again because of the way we were treated. You may want to consider this before spend your hard earned money to be disrespected. This kind of behavior was never a issue when we use to come here back in the 80's.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to review Tony Cheng Seafood Restaurant, as I have eaten there several times. Today I ordered take out roast pork. It's the most similar thing I can get to the boneless spareribs I am used to from Massachusetts. They were cooked just right and delicious. They even gave me a small white rice to go with it.

Since I have only been to the upstairs Dim Sum portion of the restaurant, that is what this review is about. I can't speak to the lower level Mongolian seafood part. This was my 2nd time eating here, as I had heard about this place when I used to live in Washington from people who had good experiences here. The first time I ate here was in May 2014, and the food was really good for the price. You're going to pay a lot, but you're also going to eat a lot, and the food is good. Over 3 years later, and the food is still good. The white rice noodles with beef are really, really good. There's plenty enough to go around for everybody. They also make a nice duck. It had great taste, but be careful with the bones! They also had great dumplings to start. Knowing last time they had good shrimp dumplings, as well as chicken ones, we went with those and they didn't disappoint. I also went with the shrimp crepes but they while they were plenty tasty, they were a bit overwhelming, so I only ate one, and left the rest. My only complaint is that they don't really have a dessert. But that's not much of a complaint, it is what it is. I just went to Shake Shack up the street to satisfy my need on a hot summer day in the District. As mentioned in a previous review, this is a pretty safe bet for Dim Sum when Peter Cheng's gets busy. The service here is friendly, and for what you're getting, the prices are friendly too. Not to mention it is literally a 3 minute walk from the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro stop (if you get out via H Street). Otherwise it is a 10-15 minute walk from Metro Center, if you choose not to switch trains. Enjoy!

A OK (though formal) place to have some Chinese dishes in Chinatown. Convenient location right by the metro behind the Chinatown friendship gate. Fast, no-nonsense service. Semi-friendly. Hot and sour soup is a classic, but the steamed dumpling (as appetizer) is a let down because the skin is so thick! And not even cooked through. The wonton soup is a joke. Skin super thick. One giant (but tasteless) wonton. That's all there is. The salt and pepper shrimps (breaded; shell off) is fine, though Sichuan Pavilion (K Street near Farragut West) is way better. Chicken with cashew nuts again is just ok. Quite bland. Sadly. The place seems to have seen its golden days. It's a bit of in a decay. We were here for dim sum but was told it ends at 3 pm each day. So we ordered from their menu. Note: this is the "branch" that's on the second floor. First floor is for Mongolian fried rice bowls only.

This was best Chinese have ever had great service. All fresh and great quality. I'm normally bothered by service fee but service was excellent no waiting for anything. Before even asked refilled water. The portions are large will be back when in area again
