Since someone else started a thread on best pizza, it got me thinking about Chinese food. It can be outstanding or God-awful. Do you have a fave location in FFX?

For carry-out chinese, mine is the China Wok in Tysons Corner. It's in that strip mall where Tower used to be, next to that Ranger Surplus store. Their kung pao chicken rocks.

Duck Changs in Annandale (behind PEP Boys) is the best chinese food.
Great Duck and anything with Bang Bang before it rocks.
Mongolian Beef is good as well.
It's pricier than you would expect, but if you want great food, you have to pay for it. If you want cheap chinese food, go to Panda Express.

I love the restaurant Peking Duck. But for Japanese food there's nothing better than Sushi Yoshi in Alexandria. All the food is flown over from Japan so it's the most authentic one in the DC Metro Area.

Golden China in Chantilly is decent: http://vagoldenchina.com/index.htm
They have a lunch buffet with the standard Chinese-American fare, plus Mongolian Barbecue. I don't think I've been there for dinner. The webpage says they're under new management, so they could be better or worse than they were when I ate there.

We have been going to Duck Changs for years. It has been owned by the same family for quite a while. They really do have some of the best Chinese food.

I eat at these all the time:
Peking Gourmet Inn (Culmore)
Duck Chang's (Annandale)
Mark's Duck House (Wilson) for dim sum
China Delight (Bailey's)
I haven't had years to explore, but I think those may be the best.
Also, I've eat once at Sichuan Village on Route 50 in Chantilly - liked it.
However, Mary Chung's (Cambridge, MA) is by far my favorite.
It takes a little while to get there, though, and there's no delivery...

On my first visit to Duck Chang back in August, I was sitting there watching a huge roach walk up the wall. I realize all restaurants have roaches, but darn keep 'em in the back. Needless to say, I haven't gone back.

Hong Kong Palace in Seven Corners is great. The name is a misnomer -- it's a carryover from prior owners. The restaurant now specializes in authentic Sichuan food. Get the "real" menu. Some favorites are tiger skin peppers, cumin lamb, and braised pork belly. Great stuff!!

Side note - for those that go there - was the cockroach that ran across the bar at Hard Times in Fairfax City while I was eating some wings and drinking beer. At least I got my wings for free...

A & J Restaurant
4316 Markham Street, Annandale, VA - (703) 813-8181
Small, cheap dishes of Northern Chinese (almost no rice, lots of beef, pork, noodles, great big soups) food that is the best Chinese food around. It's different than most Chinese joints (which are all southern-influenced).

Chinese people are too full of MSG. Koreans are too full of kimchee. Makes it when you pinch a grinch it reeks of cabbage. Go for the Vietnamese. TASTEE!

I've spent time in China for my job, and believe me, you DON'T want "authentic" Chinese food.
It gets a whole lot weirder than dogs and cats...they got stuff that would make Andrew Zimmern hurl.
