Top Best Chinese Restaurants in Washington DC

"The inspiration behind Mala Tang is the street food of Chengdu.. Here you'll find the streets filled with diners sitting at tables gathering around bubbling hot pots, in which dozens of dried chilies bob up and down in an oily red broth. The hot pot itself is a pan that sits on a portable burner,...Más"

"The late-night destination for bubbling Asian hot pot also offers incentives for delivery orders, with free spring rolls for tabs over $25. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Roberto R (@robertolealr) on Nov 17, 2017 at 8:55pm PST"

"Tiger Fork's bubble waffle with ice cream and "fun stuff" (yes, that's what the menu actually says) is made for Insta. It's breakfast for dessert, and I'm drooling already. Start planning all your Instas now because the most photogenic part of DC is certainly not a monument—the legit insane desserts in Washington, DC ~take the cake~."

"Tiger Fork serves Hong Kong delicacies and snacks in Blagden Alley, with a metal roof shading its patio dining space. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by A C (@angelontherox)"

"So this entry may not look like much on the outside but just wait until stepping inside. This casual, kid-friendly eatery serving Chinese fare is a must visit in northeast. The menu features appetizers and cold dishes, soups, chicken dishes, Szechuan and country style entrees, BBQ, rice, noodle and soups and desserts."

"You might not expect much from a restaurant set in a Days Inn on the road into town. But you would be wrong. Panda Gourmet serves a menu full of Sichuan specialties that are worth the trip out."

"This March, Dr. Zongmin Li brings the “soul food” of her childhood in China’s Yunnan Province all the way to North Old Town. To develop Yunnan by Potomac’s menu, the owner/general manager and her team traveled to southwest China to sample mixian rice noodles and glean secrets from local chefs. The silky, non-glutinous mixian noodles form the perfect base for braised beef, shiitake mushrooms and more comforting combos."

"Yunnan By Potomac Noodle House strives to be an ambassador for the people and culture of Southwest China and add to the story of what it means to be Chinese-American through our lens on contemporary Yunnan cuisine. Not your typical Chinese food, the Soul Food of Yunnan is Mixian - a light and...Más"

"The same mixian rice noodles that owner and general manager Zongmin Li ate while growing up in China’s Yunnan Province landed in Old Town this year. View this post on Instagram. A perfect bowl of comfort on a cloudy spring day."

"The restaurant has been able to get accreditation from Michelin Guide and that in itself should be a proof to the great food available at the location. The prices are affordable enough and the ambience is quite posh looking enough. The down to earth approach in a posh appearance should provide you with a contrasting experience in its own right."

"Kyirisan only serves brunch on Sunday, but boy is it an awesome brunch with some amazing dishes. Try dishes like the Truffled Kimchi Congee, Scallion Pancake or the Panko Chicken Sandwich for some slightly different, but awesome, breakfast flavors. They also serve blueberry pancakes, a lump crab cake benedict and gravlax croissant sandwich."

"Chinatown Express offers a variety of delicious Asian-inspired meals whether you’re visiting the restaurant for dinner, lunch, or carryout. Start your meal with egg rolls or spring rolls, barbecue spare ribs, or your choice of fried or steamed dumplings. The restaurant offers several tasty soups as well, such as roasted duck and mustard green, wonton, hot and sour, and egg drop."

"I don’t get down to the Penn Quarter/Chinatown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. very often, but the last couple times I’ve been, it’s been well past my regular dinner hour and I was hungry!. Being of Chinese descent, I am ordinarily very picky..."

"This round, slightly plump wafer studded with morsels of dark chocolate may look like any other chocolate chip cookie, but it’s a revelation. For its taste, yes — it’s spiced with just the right amount of cardamom — but also because the Middle Eastern-inspired vegan eatery uses no milk, butter or eggs, instead preparing the cookies, which are 100-percent plant-based, with coconut oil and almond milk. The recipe is more like making a complicated cake than a simple cookie, founder Ran Nussbacher says, which sounds about right given that it certainly doesn’t taste simple."

"All the dishes, from vegetable- or legume-stuffed pitas to salads and soups, are plant-based. Shouk has gone to such an end of veganism that it serves labneh (a traditional Lebanese dairy spread) made from fermented cashews. Everything served at Shouk is “‘ whatever your diet is’ friendly,” so you can tag all of your friends to this plant-based K Street eatery."

"Everything offered at Shouk is "'whatever your diet is' friendly," so you can bring all of your friends to this plant-based K Street eatery. Choose from seven different pita creations, or go for the rice and lentil bowl option to enjoy your veggies sans-pita. You can also get a pita pizza, fries, soup, salad, a tomato "burger," and house-made drinks."

"The National Air and Space Museum in the Mall is so awesome they made an attic for it: the Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. It’s three times the size of the DC museum and sprawls through massive hangars near Washington Dulles International Airport. Highlights include the SR-71 Blackbird (the fastest jet in the world), space shuttle Discovery (fresh from the clouds after its 2011 retirement) and the Enola Gay (the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima)."

"The National Children’s Museum is located in downtown Washington, D.C. near the famous National Mall. The museum moved to a brand-new building in late 2019 and expanded the space for many exhibits, and hands-on learning experiences help kids learn sciences, technology, engineering, arts, and math in a fun way."

"The name may be obvious, but this new museum joining the ranks of top kid-friendly museums is the National Children’s Museum. A massive three-level jungle gym is just the start of this newly built facility. In a virtual field trip, kids can become Climate Action Heroes."

"The National Children’s Museum in Washington, DC, is strictly for families of young children. The museum is set up so that the exhibits are just the right height for those little bodies. The museum is all about movement and interaction, learning by doing."

"Most displays and activities are aimed at elementary age children, but younger kids will enjoy climbing in the pilots seat of a plane, and pushing buttons, turning knobs and exploring the many interactives. Kid-friendly exhibits: the open lobbies at the ends of each wing of the building have larger items (planes, rockets, etc) on display and are very kid-friendly. The Pioneers of Flight exhibit on the second floor also is very appealing to children."

"The National Air and Space Museum contains the world’s largest collection of aviation and space artifacts. The museum was first founded in 1876 and welcomes about eight million people annually. The museum features 23 main exhibition galleries and sits in an ideal location with the Capitol Building just a few blocks away."

"The National Air and Space Museum is one of the best museums in Washington D.C. and boasts three galleries of aviation and space exhibits. Wonderful for kids and adults alike, the museum has aircraft, space memorabilia, missiles, and more, all of which chronicle the history of air and space travel."

"Basically, any style of beer can be found in Washington, D.C., as long as you know where to look. Lucky for you- we do."
