Sichuan Jin River

Use the Chinese authentic menu . General Guan 's chicken , flounder in fiery soup , mapo tofu , dandan noodles . Until Peter Chang's opens, best Chinese in greater DC.

You're at the best Chinese restaurant in the DC area...why would you order standard Chinese-American fare? Order off the authentic menu and enjoy the opportunity to eat some amazing food.

Had the Chinese style Kung Pao chicken - very good with a nice hint of ginger . Also tried an eggplant dish which was nice and had a good nutty flavor.

Any number of restaurants offer Kung Pao chicken and beef with broccoli , but to be reminded of the depth and variety that even a single subset of Chinese cooking contains, this is the place we turn.

From Washingtonian: Now called Sichuan Jin River, order off the full Chinese menu . Heat: steamed buns with chicken and garlicky cucumbers are musts. Flounder and vegetables in fiery soup is HOT.

General Guan’s Cumin Chicken was delicious. This place is authentic Chinese food .

Fish with spicy pickled cabbage is a foundational dish in the Szechuan cannon, but you won’t find a better version than the one at this gem.

Now called Sichuan Jin River! Wu geng chang wang (pig intestine and blood) was decent, but I found yu xiang qie zi (eggplant with garlic sauce ?) to be a bit on the watery side

Amazingly delicious and authentic ! Steamed soup filled pork dumplings !

The flounder with fresh peppercorns is a spicy , flavorful, and altogether rockin' plate of food.

Excellent restaurant :) The dumplings were steamy fresh and all the dishes were in completely different unique sauces. Nice.

Basil chicken with ginger hot pot is amazing

General Guan 's cumin chicken is CRAZY good. I know...cumin and chicken ? Totally surpassed my expectations.

The fried tofu is heaven!

Mapo tofu is the best as well as noodle soups .

Washingtonian recommends the mapo tofu .

stay away from the steamed/fried dumplings it tasted like the ones you buy precooked from the frozen aisle of the asian grocery .

Only order from the Chinese authentic menu . Get their 豆花鱼片

Try the Chinese food

Fish in hot oil . Snow pea leaves.

Shit is hot, I'll give it that. Tastes are there but if you have a tender constitution...beware! :)

这里的伤心凉粉很赞！
