    This is one of the best Chinese places in DC. Get the Sichuan specialties -- dry fried chicken with hot pepper, beef in tender hot sauce, etc. fried dumplings delicious.

    SP is the kind of place you want to go to with a group and eat family-style. The place is extremely popular at lunchtime. Try to get there before noon, as the restaurant does not take reservations. Read more

    This place is kitschy in a really adorable way, and the dumplings in Sichuan oil are a yummy bargain.

    Pepper and Salt Shrimp was very good on the authentic Sichuan side - beheaded but not shelled. The Sesame Shrimp was also a hit.

    Wasn't crazy about the sesame chicken, it was a bit dry. The eggplant basil was fantastic!

    I second the Ma Po Tofu. Order with extra "ma la" if you dare. The hot & sour wonton soup is also to die for.

    I was not very fond of the beef and broccoli I had, but the beef spring rolls were excellent. Next time I will have the boiled beef, it looks so spicy.
