Reviews for City Lights of China in 1731 Connecticut Ave NW #1, WA
SESAME CHICKEN (dark meat) 10/10 GREAT, Some other items were eh they could do better on the crispy beef.
This used to be one of my favorite spots. Had some of the best sesame chicken. I’ve noticed a significant decrease in the... quality of ingredients and the overall taste of their dishes. I’ve stopped ordering from them. Read more
The spicy wonton dumpling with bok choy is AMAZING! I could’ve eaten two orders, easily. Incredibly flavorful, nice spice... level. The pork with black bean sauce is delicious as well, flavorful & well-seasoned. This restaurant is a long-time familyfavorite. Read more
Got no place to eat for quick bite but found this place in D.C. only take out but can sit to eat like McDonald’s. The food... surprisingly good , order beef ho fun wide noodles and tofu lo men dish just ate in inside provide with plastic utensils. Justorder simple comfort food. Food can get soggy in containers if taking home and depend on distance and time. It better eat itright out of kitchen. Read more
If I could give this place zero stars I would. The food was disgusting and the service was horrible. Does this look like orange... chicken? Because I ordered orange chicken and this is what I got. I ordered white rice to go with it and we did not receivethat. When I called them they told me to call Uber. When I explained that all Uber did was pick up and deliver the food theyprepared and packaged they still told me to call Uber. That’s not all, I paid a lot of money for my order, the ribs and friedrice were stale. My 10 yrs old daughter spit out the fried rice. My husband said there was some random brown pieces of somethingin the orange chicken. The egg drop soup had no taste. My daughters also hated the chicken lomein. The only thing that tastesgood was the fortune cookie and the coke. Please, do not order from here. You will be disappointed and disgusted. Read more
I ordered General Tso and it was General No... The general tso chicken had a very weird taste, super salty/savory. It was nasty.... My fried rice had no egg, despite the description stating otherwise. And the chicken wings lol we ordered 5 but it came in 5separate part wings so it was 2.5 wings for $7. The white rice was stale. The food was pre labeled so I feel like it was premade. Just chose another place. Not worth the headache or money wasted Read more
I am reluctantly disappointed in the food. Based on the rating and its location, I thought the food would be bomb. It was not. I... should have known it wouldn't be that great because I ordered it 17 min before it arrived???? I ordered a spring roll, wontonsoup, and general Tsos chicken. They arrived in marked containers making me feel as though they precooked the food and then sentit out.. The roll was burnt and the insides unrecognizable.???? The soup was delicious, I'll give them that. Great flavor andtexture, the wonton was done well. The chicken y'all.....I almost cried. It was dry as hell and had no sauce. Now, the sauce wasnot sweet or spicy, it had a more savory feel to it and was not the flavor I'm used to having eaten this dish for 20 years. Ithink some people would like it but they should rename it. Ginger soy chicken or something. Way too overpriced for the level ofquality and freshness. Read more
So I am staying in the area and was starving. I was craving fried rice and discovered this place on UberEats. I chose the... chicken, beef, and shrimp, fried rice extra spicy to have delivered. I must say this did not disappoint at all. The rice tastedlike God himself made it. It was delicious and just the level of spicy I love. I have been telling everyone I know about howdelicious it was.
