Northwest Chinese Food

Mouth-numbing red chilies and pungent black vinegar are recurring themes at this modern College Park storefront. Feast on chili-oil-slicked dumplings and traditional Chinese sammies on griddled flatbreads—we love the delicately fried chicken and spicy pork with kimchi versions. Housemade knife-cut noodles are worth coming for alone, and they shine in bowls laden with garlicky pork ribs or an egg-and-noodle heap kissed with chili oil. Vivid drinks such as kumquat lemon tea and a sour-plum juice cool down the fires.
