Chinatown Express - Calumet-Norvelt

Definitely worth the 3 hr drive from pa !!!!LoMein is Great !!Update .. Sad there closed . We stopped by and looks like remodeling. Hopefully they open soon craving the best loMein and great food.

We stopped by for lunch and dinner at this Chinatown Express in Washington DC during our last family vacation because it was located so close to our hotel. The food served at this Chinese restaurant was very good that we had dinner here three nights in a row. We ordered the Triple Delight on Rice, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Beef Hor Fun, two big bowls of freshly made Hand-pulled Noodles topped with Roast Duck and Roast Pork, Mapo Tofu on the Rice, Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup, Roast Pork Fried Rice and Seafood Chow Mein. All the dishes tasted so delicious, appetizing and go so well with hot Chinese Tea. And you get free Fortune Cookies too lol! Highly recommended if you’re looking for some authentic Chinese food while visiting Chinatown in Washington DC. Good service, friendly staffs, reasonable pricing and delicious food!Vegetarian options: They have vegetable dishes like Sautéed Broccoli, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Sautéed Yu Choy, Szechuan String Beans, Mixed Vegetables with Black Mushrooms etc

The real Chinese restaurant in DC Chinatown with excellent Peking Duck and Dim

I was stoked to try this place after seeing all the positive reviews of authentic duck. I ordered the duck noodle dish and was horribly disappointed. Not sure if we just got the tourist treatment or what, but I got 4 pieces of duck and 3 of them were solid bone. It was BAD. They table next to me had a beautiful half duck, and I'm pretty sure they just threw in whatever they didn't serve to that table into my food. Egg drop soup also tasted like water. My partner's fried rice was good but one good fried rice dish doesn't make the $50 bill any easier to stomach. Hope you have better luck because most of the food looked really good.

Great place, but I hate the fact that they add bones to the soup. Like, it just kills the vibe and I am unable to focus normally on eating the duck. The staff is awesome, quick and on point. Atmosphere is great if you dont consider the smell of dry
