Meiwah Restaurant

We have been coming here for year. All of the food is fresh and delicious and the service is cery good as well. We like the crispy whole fish and Mongolian beef

I have loved MeiWah for a long time and used to frequent their DC location all of the time. I realized in my travels that there was a location in Chevy Chase so I had to take my husband there. Their specialty for me has always been their jumbo shrimp in spicy tomato sauce and it still taste the same. The portions are good, the food is reasonably price and there was no wait on a Saturday evening. Our server was gracious and everything was wonderful.

Staff is exceptional. We had a dinner party there for 50. Plenty of room and plenty of food. Sally will plan your day to suit the needs of your attendees. We will definitely be back. Pat and Simon were wonderful the day of along with all the Meiwah Servers on-site that day. The private room was very accommodating.

Amazing place and super kind staff! I was here for a work dinner and I haven't felt that taken care of at a resteraunt ever. Next time I am in the area, I will make visiting a priority.

Dinner here was fabulous. Great views from floor to ceiling windows and not crowded at all. Our kids come here often and brought us here for the ambiance and what my daughter said was “the best Chinese food we’ve had here so far.” We’ve eaten Chinese food in Hawaii, Germany, California, Nebraska, Virginia, Florida and Barcelona, and we’re picky. Every dish was good, the sauces well-balanced and complex, not formulaic, not heavy. Sweet and Sour Chicken was perfect, crunchy with all white meat. The sauce was spot on. The Tinkling Pork was poured onto a hot cast iron platter so that it sizzled; it was good, with added deep fried dumplings, pork, mushrooms, baby corn, pea pods and carrots. The Hot and Sour Soup tasted perfect. The Chicken Fried Rice was excellent because not only did it taste good but the texture wasn’t wet and you could “taste the fire,” which means it was cooked in a wok over high heat but not burned. The dim sum dumpling filling was more pork than shrimp and tasted like Hawaii-style gau gee filling. There was a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, minced garlic, minced green onion, a few bits of minced fresh ginger, a touch of sugar and a touch of maybe vinegar: I loved it. You have to ask for soy sauce and hot mustard, but when they came these were high quality. Just as my kids predicted the patrons were quiet families, groups of business people and singles relaxing over a meal with the view. Our servers (one was the manager, I think) were smiling, attentive and detail oriented. Empty dishes were taken away quickly and unobtrusively. They didn’t talk a lot but that was maybe a language barrier thing; I smiled and they smiled. They were respectful of us and efficient. The windows were clean, the chairs were clean, they put fresh white paper over the white table cloth, the plates and utensils were clean, and we didn’t see anyone carrying a black dish bin— dishes were taken away by hand. I noticed other reviewers said the place was dirty but I didn’t see that so maybe they’ve responded to the reviews and have improved. Even the white salt and pepper shakers were clean. For the reasonable prices the ambiance is classier than you’d expect. It’s a jewel of a find.

Some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was also lovely.

I truly judge a Chinese restaurant based on egg drop soup. Hands down the best. It tastes like they make their crunchy strips for soup in house. They taste so fresh and delicious. I also LOVE their pan fried noodle. My husband enjoys the orange chicken. He used to always get general tsos from other restaurants. But the orange chicken here is a perfect tangy and a little kick. I’ve dined in multiple times, done carry out the most. The entrance for carry out is in the back parking lot and it is very clearly marked. For dine in - I went with my nephews, it was quiet in there (around lunch) For dinner it gets busier around 6. Truly recommend this place. I’d honestly just go for the egg drop soup

My wife and I arrived around 4pm to an empty restaurant. We were served right away and were treated to a delicious helping of wonton soup, chicken and vegetables, and white rice. Our water was kept plentiful. We enjoyed our post-meal treat of orange slices and fortune cookies. I cannot wait until my next visit.
