It consistently provides reasonably priced, fairly well prepared versions of the standard types of dishes most Americans come to expect from Chinese restaurants. There's nothing innovative, exciting, dazzling, or adventuresome, but it does a decent job of satisfying a Chinese food fix. And there's no better alternative of which I'm aware in central DC. (City Lights in Dupont has deteriorated to the point it is unacceptable, and most of the Chinatown places I've tried serve food that is somewhere between mediocre and dreadful.)

Too far from DC for delivery, which they don't do anyway. Meat eaters be aware -- it's vegan but it just may blow your mind. Now you've got me hungry for stinky tofu . . . or gym socks . . .

I used to walk by this place every day and I've heard people rave about it; at the same time, most Americans like American-style Chinese food, which isn't really Chinese food at all. I would agree with Neener that the best Chinese/Taiwanese food in the area is in Rockville. If you want good Asian food, you need to go where the Asians live. Which is to say, Rockville. Do they serve stinky tofu?

While Tofu curl under the name Tofu Curl is a city Lights/Meiwah staple, I just name-dropped Yuan Fu and they have an almost identical tofu dish. Jiminy!

They're the only restaurant in the world other than City Lights that makes it, and the service at City Lights is pathetic. Tofu curl rocks.
