Great food questionable service
DESCRIPTION: I would have to say that the food at this restaurant is great, but it does not make up for some of the service issues that they have. 1) If I am going to be paying 15 dollars for an entree you can at least give free refills. 2) The staff passed by my table at least 5 times without asking me if I needed anything when I had both glasses sitting there to be refilled beacuse I was eating a very spicy dish.

Chinatown's best restaurant returns!
DESCRIPTION: After losing its lease a couple of years ago, Eat First has reopened on H Street, again raising the bar on food for every other restaurant in DC's otherwise disappointing Chinatown. This is not a fancy place. It's a simple storefront with fresh authentic food, including Hong Kong style noodle dishes, roast meats, clay pots, and the like. Service is friendly and attentive. The roast duck and pork aren't as good as Mark's Duck House in Falls Church, but some other dishes are best-in-class. Favorites include the pea pod sprouts in garlic and the wonderfully rich clay pots. Vegetarians should try their near-perfect vegetable spring rolls and a surprisingly delectable fresh soy sauce chow mein.

Best Chinese Food for Cheap
DESCRIPTION: Went to this restaurant before a game at the MCI Center. We went with a party of 10 people and all of us agreed that most of the dishes were better than other chinese restaurants we'd been to. And to top it off, my brother wholeheartedly agrees. The only one that wasn't the greatest was General Tso's....everything else was perfect!

Wow!
DESCRIPTION: Strips of pork, shrimp and a medley of vegetables collided to make an intense food experience. Sweet and sour tomato sauce was exceptionally good.

personal favorite
DESCRIPTION: simply the best Chinese food in Georgetown. I love coming to Harmony Cafe because its reasonably priced and the food is excellent. Harmony cafe offers tasty fare to both the average person and vegans alike. I consider this a must for anyone coming to Georgetown. Be sure to try the Fried Bananas for dessert!

best food in dc
DESCRIPTION: When my boyfriend and I (who are both vegetarian) were told of a place that will make any of their dishes on their menu veggie, we were a little skeptical. But this is the best veggie food ever in the DC area! The best thing is that they dont just sub. tofu chunks for the meat, they give you awesome meat-like strips of beef, chicken or seafood-its freaking awesome!
