Shanghai Lounge - Washington DC

We came here on a whim after our original dinner choice didn't work out. We're glad that we did because everything we tried was solid. We got the pork dumplings which we quickly regretted not ordering more. The hot and sour soup also ended up being perfect for a rainy day. The Ma Po Tofu had some great flavor but could of used some more spice. We also tried the cucumber salad and scallion pancakes. The cucumber salad was a nice refreshing palate cleanser. I would probably skip the scallion pancakes next time, since it just felt like it was missing something without a sauce. Overall, good food and a place that I would definitely come back to and try some of the other dishes.

Decent Chinese food. Got the combination lo mein and asked for it to be made spicy, which they graciously obliged. Could have been spicier but was still pretty enjoyable.

Every time we go, there's something new to try. Any type of dumpling is our go-to. The manager (Flo...? was the sweetest lady. She struck good conversation and helped us with our food choice. We've added this to our list of monthly eats in D.C.!

A good authentic Chines food restaurant around the area. For my personal perspective, their food are a little salty, but they have better quality of rice among all other Chinese restaurant I had been to.

Really great Chinese. Had the combination fried rice--the best fried rice I've ever had- and spicy beef broth (pictured). We also started with tomato egg drop, pork dumplings, and seaweed salad. Everything was delicious and well-made; the beef melts in your mouth. The place is small and bustling on Friday and Saturday nights, so I definitely recommend making a reservation.
