I almost had a heart attack when I saw they were closed the other day but thank God it’s just for renovations. And those are some serious renovations. The place has been completely gutted, which as I told my Patreon supporters, is both a happy and sad sight. I will miss the old school for sure but am super happy this legend be sticking around for years to come.
“Chinatown Express stands as one of D.C.’s most authentic Chinese restaurants. By “authentic” we mean we have items on our menu that you won’t find anywhere else, unless you decide to take a 12 hour flight to China for some real deal goodies. As a family-run restaurant for almost 25 years, we pride ourselves in serving delicious hand pulled noodles, individually folded dumplings, and mouthwatering roasted meats at honest to goodness prices. Our menu is a combination of hometown classics from Guangzhou in Southeastern China and flavors adopted from D.C.’s vibrant community of good food lovers. We welcome you to come eat at our restaurant, where you’ll find the food fast, cheap, and most importantly, delectable.”
Check out their menu here and stay tuned for a reopening date.
