Chinese Food in DC: Da Hong Pao

I finally found my new favorite Cantonese/Chinese restaurant in DC! 

Da Hong Pao!

Let's go. 

Let's study.

If you're here for Chinese food, you need to order off of their Dim Sum menu. Trust me, you won't regret it. 

Round number 1

We're just getting started here. Keep scrolling down for more. 

Steamed King Shrimp Dumplings

This is a classic and a dumpling you really can't go wrong with. 

Steam bun & dumplings

Yet another classic. We ordered the Steam Roast Pork Bun and Steamed Pork and Shrimp Dumplings -- two of my must orders whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant. 

Round 2!

We ordered the Chinese Fried Dough, which was my first time trying this, and the Steamed Beef Rice Crepe.  

Shrimp Stuffed in Tofu

I could eat this all day. 

Crispy Fried Pork

I can't handle fried food as well as I used to, so it was hard for me to eat a lot of this dish. 

Roasted Pork

This dish felt a little gamy for me. It was still great but I just personally couldn't eat too much of it. 

Egg Tart

I've had better egg tarts but regardless, this was still a nice way to top off the meal. 

In conclusion...

100% I will be coming back for more. I've been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in D.C. for such a long time, so I'm extremely happy my friend introduced me to this place. It's right around Logan Circle, which is perfect if you want to hop over to a coffee shop after your meal.  

I highly recommend ordering the steamed pork bun, shrimp stuffed tofu, steamed shrimp and steamed pork dumplings (these are a classic), and the Chinese fried dough or Beef rice crepe. 

If you haven't done so already, make sure you stop by this place. For weekend lunch goers, make sure you get there early or see if you can make a reservation. Seats fill up pretty quickly on the weekends. 

I can't wait to go back for more!
