Surfing the web after 9PM looking for something open near Landmark in Alexandria. Came upon this carryout joint in Landmark Plaza, and it's open 'til 10PM. Egg Foo Yung on the menu sealed the deal for me. Hopped in the car and was there in minutes. The space was tidy and clean (no grunge here) and included a couple of tables for those who would dine in. Staff was friendly and accommodating (I was able to request my egg foo young with barbecued pork and shrimp omitting the chicken). My egg foo young had the right flavor and was bagged with the pancakes, sauce, and rice each packed in its own sealed container. I ate in the car. Everything was good 'and hot.The food hit the spot.

If they could have mustered just a few bits of chopped scallion greens for garnish, it would have made a big difference. Look at the photo of the egg foo young on their web site and you'll see what I mean. Pathetic. The other disappointment was dry rice, not hard yet, but at evening's end it was definitely getting a little dry. Not inedible, and I did eat it anyway.

Though it's just a carryout, it could easily compete with a full service restaurant, judging by my experience with their generous serving of...
Read moreTook a chance tonight & ordered from here again. It has been a few years because it really got horrible for a while. We ordered a LOT of food, White meat General Tso's chicken, shrimp tempura, edamame, steamed pork dumplings, egg & spring rolls, sesame chicken, sweet & sour chicken, white rice, fried rice & plain lo mein. I totally anticipated something being messed up, forgotten or something along those lines. I was very pleasantly surprised to find our order perfect, everything was there, perfectly packaged for delivery & the food was delicious!! My only critique would be the shrimp. Although it looks beautiful the way it's butterflied, it overcooks it so much the shrimp disappears. Other than that, it was all amazing. Delivery was faster than quoted, everything was hot & fresh, tasted great, packaged perfectly & the delivery driver even thanked me for his tip!!! This has to be the BEST delivery order we've had in years!! We will definitely order again & more often now that I know it's in...
