Chinatown Express
Chinatown Express, 746 Sixth Street NW, Washington, DC, 202-638-0424 [Washingtonian | City Paper | Don Rockwell | openlist]
Maybe the best place in Chinatown right now. Make sure you order the noodles. Good soft-shelled crab. Excellent dumplings. Not as good as Joe’s Noodle House, but if you are stuck in DC you will enjoy this place. Small, and draws a crowd, so go early.
