Review: Eastern Chinese, 18th and U

So I ended up here with my roommate just after midnight after some fierce drinking up the road.  Not a good idea.  I usually savor my Chinese food nights for occasions where one needs to treat themselves to being fat and cholesterol-ridden.  Not here.  Everything really is just so God-awefully diabetically sweet.. and fried.  Nothing steamed, no hint of freshness.  And they're not the cleanest people on earth.  That said, if youre starving at that time of night in Adams Morgan get falafel or something like that.  At least you'll spare yourself the sensation of burping up msg and corn syrup the morning after.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
