• Had pretty good steamed pork buns (dim sum).
• Gouging customers for second-rate "specials".

“Although it looks more promising than the surrounding Chinese dining establishments, it is clearly priced a little higher, offers no real additional value, and in my opinion was predatory. The place was quite crowded at 2pm and we were seated next to the untidy holding tanks which contained fish used for meals. The tanks were open, and the aroma in this area was distinctly "eau de pond". The DC board of health should investigate the unsanitary splashing which arises from the aeration system and the periodic harvesting of fish by the staff. Perhaps as additional ambiance, a fish was netted and carried through the dining room while we were there. Four of the five dishes that we ordered: one chicken, one pork, one beef, one vegetable, were high on sauce and all tasted very similar. Given the premium price, the meat content was low for thhe chicken and pork dishes. The closing dining surprise came with the accompanying seafood dish. We asked for a recommendation from the waiter for a seafood dish; he took the opportunity to recommend their "special", which was Dungeness crab in a ginger sauce. It featured pieces of crab in shell (~6 legs, 1 small claw, and the empty carapace); it was also virtually impossible to eat since the crab was overcooked, tasteless, and bonded to the shell. The sticky, unspectacular sauce merely made the process of liberating the crab meat more difficult. In retrospect, I strongly suspect, as another reviewer has suggested, that the food (in this case, crab) was previously cooked and recycled into our daily special. I mentioned our dissatisfaction with the crab when the waiter reappeared after the meal. He smiled and just presented the bill, which included a $45 charge for the crab dish. Note: that virtually every entree on the menu was around $10-25. At this point I was pretty sure the waiter had knowingly pushed the leftovers on us. He actually had the gall to follow me out of the restaurant to insist on a tip, indicating he had already given me a big discount on the crab "special".”
