This place is one of THE places to go on the DC food scene. Ranked at bon appetites' best new restaurant when it opened and hasn't lost popularity since. However reservations are tough at this 14 seat restaurant so make a reservation WAY in advance. if you really want to get in they do save some seats for walk-ins. You can wait in line at 3pm or 4pm until they open at 5:30pm or 5:00pm(Saturday and Sunday). Or many people use Task Rabbit to employ someone to wait in-line for them and make a reservation for the evening.

This is Hong Kongese food for those with a refined and adventurous pallet. It's one of the more pricey options in the neighborhood but word on the street is that it is one of Jeff Bezos' go-to spots when he is in-town...
