| I will be in Chinatown in DC in a couple of weeks and was wondering if there are any good dim sum restaurants in that area? Looking specifically for Chinatown. Thank you. |

| There is good Chinese in DC, but not in Chinatown. |

| Not in DC, just across the Potomac in Rosslyn, but China Garden's Sunday dim sum is great. |

| What about the Chinese restaurants on Rockville Pike? |

| Is there still a Chinatown? I'd largely forgotten it exists. Best Asian food is in the suburbs, whether Chinese or Vietnamese etc. |

| Thanks. This is OP. I’m familiar with the area and live in Rockville so know all of the options there. I am going to be in Chinatown for an event and was wondering if there are any half decent restaurants. My suspicion is that they are all below average tourist traps. |

| Last time I was in Chinatown I was shocked at how shabby and run down it has become. Sad. |

A lot of places have closed in the last couple of years, but I wouldn’t explain the area as a tourist trap either. But there haven’t been many or any good Chinese restaurants there in a long while.
There are some decent restaurants there. Clyde’s is a chain but I think is pretty decent. Zaytinya The Smith is decent I have eaten at Reren and Farmers and Distillers and both were ok, but it was before Covid. |

No dim sum, but I used to like Full Kee on H Street but haven't been back since covid took my office remote. Has anyone been recently?
My family liked the dumplings at Reren Lamen & Bar. I thought they were a little pricy but tasty. |

| The new Bonkers China Burger looks good. Daikaya, the new Japanese food hall at 3rd & Mass, and Momoyama look good. I like the dim sum at Da Hong Pao, and the Szechuan dishes at Panda Gourmet (not in Chinatown) |

| Not dim sum but there is Kura sushi which is one of those conveyor belt sushi places that gets good reviews. |
