China Boy

Simply the best chow fun on the planet. No indoor seating at the moment but go for the take out - you won't regret it!

DISGUSTING! I walked blocks to get there because of the glowing reviews and left so freakin disappointed.nI got the world famous dumplings steam (filling made me nauseous) and pan fried (dough was extremely thick and chewy). Both were GROSS.nnBut the real disappointment was the plain Lomein. How in the world can you mess up a lomein?!?!? It tasted like old air. I mean I tried everything to give it taste. Chili oil, soy sauce I just threw it out. I really believe some reviewers have never had appropriate Chinese food. If you enjoy fresh and tasty cuisine...Trust me you’ll regret it!!

YummmmmmmmmnnJust had the beef briskey noodle soup, shrimp cheung fun (noodle crepe), and lo mai gai (chicken sticky rice wrap).nn1. The noodle soup was super filling! Tasty broth with a generous amount of meat. No vegetables though which I wish I could addn2. Shrimp cheung fun was quality!n3. Lo mai gai is my absolute favorite food, and they did it perfectly here! It was so good. I'm so happynnI'm definitely coming back. Wish I discovered this sooner. Honestly thought that good chinese food didn't exist in DC, but this meal was delicious, thank you.nnFYI, this place accepts cash only!

Summary: A small hole in the wall serving a few Chinese dim sum and dumpling options as well as some traditional noodle soups. Portions are a little small for the prices. A good quick eat though!nnCame here for some breakfast. Was going for the noodle soup but since it was a warmer day, we decided to go with the shrimp and beef rice noodles and some dumplings. The rice noodles were freshly made which was great. The pan fried dumplings were a little too greasy. We would probably get the steamed dumplings next time.nnThe place is tiny. Their seating is a large round table and a smaller rectangular table. Seats about maybe 8-9 people. Definitely order for take out if you can. Cash only also.

last night was our first time we went to this magnificent restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had great time with the generous service, with the exceptional food and wine and with the friendly payment. We will absolutely visit there soon.
