It's sad, but does help us assign weight to your statement about Chinese food across the entire city of DC.

See, this is better trolling. I lived and worked in DC. I went to a lot of places, some of which I found through Cowen. His recommendations have been excellent, and I have found a lot of good places through him. I have been to many other places, some of which were good and some of which weren't. I worked in Penn Quarter and got around a bit, including to Chinatown, which offered nothing good Chinese (though I liked Matchbox). If you think there is a good Chinese place in DC, name it. If you are going to pass up the Chinese places on the Rockville Pike like Sichuan Pavilion and Joe's Noodle House (sp?) because I originally found them through Cowen, your loss. Incidentally, you can drive past those places and never see them. Joe's is in a strip mall on the right side as you head away from District, with its storefront facing the wrong way. The only way you'd see it is by driving past it and look back for it. Sichuan Pavilion is in the back of a mall, not visible from the street.
