Hi! I'm sorry about not posting for so long. I'm not disloyal; it's just my time, schedule- I want a good life, too! And from the taste of Chinatown Express, I think I am. After going to the DC National Portrait Gallery with friends, I was famished! We had gone to the same area before and by then, everyone was starved. It took a bit of time to wait, but the wait was worth it. The timing was slightly off, but it was fine. I got a plate of Steamed Broccoli, now regretting my choice. It was undercooked and very bitter. I had to put two gallons of soy sauce until it was decent (perhaps the least ethical thing to do), much less deliciousness. A bit later, Vegetable Dumplings came, probably straight from heaven and a pan meant for deep frying. I might have shoveled eight in my mouth at the same time they were so good. Tip: If you ever go, definitely get these tasty little fried dumplings; they're great and only six bucks. One friend of mine let me sample some Szechuan Eggplant, a spicy dish. It had a perfect amount of salt, and a pleasant texture. I rate Chinatown Express to be three stars.
Enjoy your next bites,
