DMV Chinese Food: Just $11 Per Dish?
Wes the NorsemanWes the Norseman
Forget Chinatown, we want Magic Gourd! Though there is no way to tell what this little gem is from the outside, it is definitely a diamond... Not in the rough! We stumbled in out of the cold, because it was the only place with an open sign. We found ourselves in a cool Chinese restaurant that smelled like amazing food. We sat down, were immediately taken care of, and our food was served extremely fast. We were extremely pleased at how good the food was, how much of it there was, and how reasonable the price was. We will definitely be returning to our new found Go-To in DC.. Forget Chinatown, we want Magic Gourd!

Magic Gourd is a little hidden gem just 10 minutes walk from Lincoln Memorial. Situated in a very convenient location and with affordable prices, we ended up there by chance after a long day of sightseeing and were pleased by the food and staff service was very quick and punctual. I had prawns and were nicely done. Menu options include main staples of Chinese cuisine.

The food is super overpriced. I was surprised that it looked like an actual Restaurant instead of a Chinese take out Restaurant. But appearances are deceiving.

The food’s quality was mediocre. My food arrived to the table warm, but my husband said that his food was cold. The taste of the food was okay, not good, not great, just okay. The flavor just isn’t there. I have had better food at Chinese take out restaurants in New York and in North Carolina.

I ordered the shrimp and broccoli. It came with a very small portion of white rice and it had a strange taste to it. I had to eat it because I was hungry. My husband ordered the happy family I believe and he said he did NOT like it at all. We left and bought pizza at &pizza at Hotel Hive which was close to where we were staying.

The Restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, which makes me think even the locals do not like it much. I think people who do not know the area should stay away, it is a trap for Washington visitors, since more expensive does not mean better.

The employees were friendly and attentive.

I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be back. Like I said you can find better food for less...

If you like sugary food you have found Heaven!!

Watch out for the waiter who will try and charge more for your drinks. Check your bill CAREFULLY!!

There is no happy hour even though they say they do!!

We had one meal that was excellent (fish). They have brown rice too which is great.

The second meal was God-awful sugary (chicken and beef).

Service SUCKS. The appetizers will come after your main dish so order your appetizer then wait after you eat it BEFORE ordering the main dish.

The greeter / waitress (Malaysian or Singaporean lady) is actually a WONDERFUL PERSON. She is just a bit blunt but AWFULLY GOOD HEARTED.

THIS IS AT BEST A TAKE OUT CHINESE JOINT FOR LOCAL TENANTS LIVING IN THE...

While the reviews here appear to be mixed, I had a wonderful experience. First, they were extremely accommodating. I called 15 minutes in advance of arrival asking if they had searing for a large party (12). We were all able to sit together at a long table.

The food came out quickly. I enjoyed my food thoroughly and so did the people near me. I had the crispy chicken, and it was a little sweeter than I imagined it would be, but still very good. Several of us got bubble tea as well. The lunch specials are of a good proportion and are $10.

Lastly, they were able to separate the checks for all of us. Great service and pretty good food. Would...
