China Boy

Do note some of the quirks of this delicious place. They are closed Tuesdays and they close at 5 p.m. I guess the owners give weight to the work life balance as opposed to maximizing profit haha. The food here for most Chinese isn’t that it’s spectacular but that authentic food like this isn’t plentiful in the DC area. So if you’re in the mood for yummy beef noodles soup or hofan, this is a good place to go to. Maybe for takeout as the place is tiny and usually packed with a queue. BTW for fellow Fujian-ers, there is a nearby Fujian Resident Association (not sure yet what they do though).

ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT: There are two steps to enter without railings as shown with a lightweight pull door. As a result, it probably is not accessible to most wheelchair users unless you can bump and hold the door open (as it opens towards you) simultaneously. If you can get inside, aisles are pretty narrow, but tables have removeable chairs. There is no public restroom available for patrons. For more accessibility reviews, use the RollMobility app. This is unsponsored. Just trying to help people get the info they need. This is my favorite Chinese in DC as its authentic and tasty. Paying by cash is recommended, but not required.

The BBQ pork steam rice roll is very tasty, but the beef chow fan is extremely oily with a burnt flavor. Perhaps dim sum is ok but not the fried dishes.

Coming here for lunch was one of our best decisions of the trip. Delicious food that's affordable and incredibly sweet staff AND customers. The seating area isnt huge but everyone worked to make sure people could fit. We will definitely be back next time we visit.

This is definitely a hole in the wall restaurant but it is nicely decorated. The ladies who worked there are very friendly and efficient. There are definitely a constant line of customers. We will definitely dine here again the next time we visit DC. Beware that they charge extra for credit payment but there is a clear sign at the cashier. The food was very good. Their beef chow fun was the best with the right flavor. It was quite oily however. The beef stew fun soup was okayed. I would definitely try other steamed rolls dishes next time.
