Reply to comment by ieatglass in Old school Chinese restaurant in DMV? by ieatglass

If you like very overpriced with mediocre food (but decent duck), you've found the place.

Not hating, I still take guests from out of town but more for the experience than the food or value. Which I think you are looking for, so it matches

Yes, let me backtrack and say that I'm wrong. pGI is a suggestion I can't top for OP.

OP didn't ask for good food, good service, good value but a certain vibe. While PGI won't have the traditional porcelain jars or the paintings or printed plates, they have an old school attitude with the waiters who are a bit sassy and FOBish, big large plates of food, the "Cartwright!!!" type of late 80s to mid 90s style

I agree. It’s so expensive.
