You can check Sichuan pavilion on 18th and K. It’s the best in DC that I’ve had.

Han Palace is good. Happy that you can get Cantonese dishes there.

Also is Han Palace not any good? They have decent reviews.

I'm also thinking the same for the 25th. I'm not actually a huge Chinese food fan, although I do enjoy peking duck. Because I will be ordering in, I'm not sure that's a good option? What are some approachable dishes for me to try?

Ooh good hint! Thanks.

Our Jewish friends with this tradition get the Chinese food on the 24th.
