I’ve been going to this place at least 10+ years. Over the past year or 2, I’ve been letting this hint of attitude slide from the main woman at the front. She always would get smart when I had to ASK for mumbo sauce when I get wings. Now, why do I need to ask for something that should be automatic since you sell wings and fries in DC? She would catch a slight attitude. Another time, my brother and I ordered food and came back in 10 minutes and she pretended she didn’t remember him ordering when he came back in to pick up. Finally, yesterday, I ordered a chicken and broccoli lunch special. I got there and it was almost $15. I asked her what my order was since it was so expensive. She said a “Large Chicken and Broccoli” and i told her i didn't order that, i asked for a LUNCH. The scowl on her face, the attitude she had! I think if she could spit in my food she would. Not to mention, she was yelling in her language so I know she was talking about me. She just reboxed my food and said “ well, now your order is under $10. You have to pay cash!” . “ Well add on a drink then. Who do you think you’re talking to.” She must have lost her mind sitting in that booth all day. Safe to say, I won’t be...
Read moreThis place has been a great staple. Survived the gentrification and COVID. I hope they continue to stand and do well. The food is superb. I have not had a bad experience from here ever out of the 4 years I left the DMV, i came back and this place never changed. It's nostalgia for those of us who grew up here.
An update - 2023 They've been burning the shrimp egg foo yung a lot lately. So I wouldn't recommend getting that dish anymore. It used to be the best in the area and I always try to tip. But they went as far as to telling me they were out of the dish because i asked them not to burn it this time. The food has become subpar with some dishes. I hope they can get back to what they used to be. It was the place I sent many of people to go. I'll update again in a few weeks.
Update - December 2023 The food is back on par. Not sure how consistent it is but this was really good this time. 10/10 on the singapore noodle (mild) 10/10 on the steam veggies...
Read moreWe wanted a quick meal to take back to our Airbnb in the DC area. Reviews of the place seemed ok. We knew that it was pretty much take out only. There were a couple of tables but I don't think they were for eating in. I liked that they had some different food than the Chinese places we were used to. The problem was that the food didn't have much flavor. We had a variety of food. Everything from Hunan beef to orange chicken to the hot and sour soup. They even got one of our orders wrong. This place might be a popular take out spot but it is only average. I am sure some items may be really good but not so much ours. And the Mombo sauce is different and unique. But it might be an...
