Pacifica Café

Food was great but service was up and down. Sometimes, it took 40 mins to get food.

We have been going pacific cafe for years. My American wife and native born children love cafe’s “real Chinese dishes like grandparents cooked”. They are the best Chinese restaurant in DC metro. We always order to go dishes for Chinese holidays. Their quantity is 2-3 times more than other restaurants’ dishes. We always take left over to eat for days. Strongly recommend this restaurant.

I've eaten here twice. I don't understand the praise. This is the worst Chinese Restaurant in the area. The service is extremely slow. I forgave this the first time because they were busy. The second time there was only one other couple at a table. I had the most tasteless Mongolian beef I've ever had on my first visit. On my second I had beef LoMein. It cost over $16. I could tell it wasn't fresh and had been reheated. It made me queasy as I ate it. My Wonton soup appetizer had just two wontons with a tasteless watery broth. They couldn't even add some chives. I tried their duck as well. Extremely dry, something that should never happen with duck. If you enjoy fried rice you'll definitely want to avoid this place as they won't substitute steamed rice. On top of all this the prices are $2-3 higher than other Chinese restaurants. I will never eat here again. There are so many better options nearby than this place. The only positive is the ambience.

Terrific authentic food and wonderful service!! This is my parents go-to Chinese food restaurant as well as our extended Chinese family comes here as well. We do all of our special occassions here together.

看了一个所谓的上海吃货对这家餐馆的高度评价，大赞其上海菜的地道口味而光顾品尝，其实并非如此，分明就是面拖排骨，取名椒盐排骨，大相径庭，核桃虾的虾硬而无味，苔条鱼片大块面团也无苔条味，…点了六道上海菜，没有一个是能称之为真正的上海菜。务请吃货不要轻信网上的误导。

Tried a few dishes and appetizers. Sad to say they were saturated with oil and largely flavorless.

I will be recommending Pacifica Cafe to my parents
