Little China Cafe, Palisades, Washington DC
Right across from the Georgetown Reservoir, sits a little restaurant strip right on MacArthur Boulevard that includes Little China Cafe, Momo’s Cafe, and Lupo Verde Osteria along with a couple more I have yet to hopefully shoot.

Professionalism I Haven’t Seen In a While – China Sea, Frederick MD
Boy have I heard, “oops, we forgot, and don’t have proper plates…,” number of times before, and I even had one random fried chicken place bail on the shoot because no one notified them that nice plates are WELL above my corpo pay grade, hahaha. China Sea crew, on the other hand, ran next door…

NaiNai’s Noodle & Dumpling Bar, Silver Spring MD
NaiNai’s Noodle & Dumpling Bar is a real treasure of Silver Spring, MD, with very fresh atmosphere and great fare of Chinese and Taiwanese street dishes and small bites.

Dragon City Restaurant, Silver Spring MD
Dragon City is definitely one of the better Chinese takeout/small dine-in restaurants downtown Silver Spring. Items are simple, but very good especially for the prices!
