Astoria DC Washington Reviews
This place is very overrated me and my wife were looking
This place is very overrated me and my wife were looking forward to this place but it was very disappointing. We ordered the following; Chili oil wontons (4/5): solid dish but you can get this at a lot of other restaurants and cheaper Beef noodle
The food was great.
I got the watercress and mapo tofu and a caipirina. The server brought out some spicy potato's for the table too which were delicious.
Excellent time at Astoria! Some of the best food I have had
Excellent time at Astoria! Some of the best food I have had in DC in my 5+ years here. Service could be improved but the food and cocktail quality makes up for it. Absolutely incredible!
Mmm mmm mm.
Tasty. Went here with my partner and I said it was an anniversary. Got free walnut shrimp. Very tasty walnut shrimp. The crabmeat fried rice had 2 pieces of tiny crab though. Still, very tasty. Our waitress and the host staff were kind. There was
Inside is gorgeous.
Dark reds and browns, very trendy. The Painkiller was delicious! But it is also filled to the brim with ice so has VERY little actual drink. Unfortunately, my friend spilled his full drink and there was so little actual liquid that it didn't ev
The vibes in here are IMMACULATE.
I don't know what playlist they were playing but it was a hit immediately
Make a reservation! It's very popular and I know why.
This was my second visit here. I went many years ago and the high quality is still there. Very flavorful food. Some spicy, be careful. Cozy atmosphere. We sat in the window counter. Service was good and the staff were nice.
Place was ok.
Food was good, but underwhelming and the service wasn't good. There appeared to be 2 servers and 1 hostess working. Yes it was busy, but All 3 were unfriendly, unfortunately. I arrived and was told there was a wait for a table, with 1 ahead of m
Astoria DC absolutely lived up to the hype -- and then some.
This Michelin-starred gem served up some of the best flavors I've had in a while. We ordered the Dan Dan noodles, chili wontons, and shrimp, and every single dish was a knockout. Bold, perfectly balanced, and packed with that signature Sichuan p

The food was super spicy! The cocktails were delicious so I was chugging them down to beat the heat. We had to wait a bit because we didn't make reservations but the fit us in.
Some really good dishes and some really average dishes.
The honey walnut shrimp was very delicious. The crab fried rice was nice and had some spice to it as well. The other two dishes we got were not rememberable. It took forever for the food to come as well. It wasn't super busy when we arrived bu
Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in DC with Pull Up Deliveries
If you’re visiting DC and craving incredible Szechuan flavors in a cozy, intimate setting — this is the spot. The atmosphere feels upscale but relaxed, perfect for a date night or a small group dinner. We loved the chili wontons, scallion lamb, a

I've been hearing about this place for months and finally made it out -- totally worth the hype. From the moment you step in, it's got that dimly lit, chic vibe that feels equal parts romantic and energetic. The decor has that sexy red glow
Big fan of Sichuan.
Mouth was on fire the whole meal. Order the Beef Noodles. Don't share them with anyone. They are too good to share. The chili wontons don't disappoint. Share them. The vibes inside are perfect. The patio is super cute. The bathroom could fi

I've been wanting to come here for months and its a hard reservation to snag because it is a smaller spot - the inside is very intimate and they do have a decent size outdoor patio. We came in for our 7pm reservation and didn't actually get
Everything we ordered was delicious.
One of the dishes we order was the Salt & Pepper Eggplant (based on their recommendation). This was absolutely my favorite dish...it packed so much flavor!

3.5 stars. I was REALLY excited to try Astoria. I put my phone away so I could be fully mentally present for this meal. I love Chinese food and many friends talked this place up. Service: 4/5 nice folks, very cute interior, upsized one of our dish
This is a top 5 restaurant in DC.
The food is consistent , elevated , traditional and modern at the same time. Salt and Pepper eggplant is a special dish. They perfected the crisp on the outside and the flavor of it is so unique. The restaurant is not cheap and it's also not ex

There is definitely a wait for this place, which based on historical reviews, seems to be par for the course. What I wasn't expecting was the hour it would take for our food to come after we had been seated and ordered. The hostess and waitress

We were so excited to finally go here after a few months of trying to get a reservation that wasn't at 10pm, but the service immediately ruined our mood and will prevent me from going back in the future. We had a 5:30 reservation and when we w
Okay so let's start with the food.
We started with the garlic eggplant, ordered beef noodles, wontons and more. Everything was amazing. Drinks are pricey but were delicious as well. Really giving 3/5 stars due to the service. My friend and I made a reservation and were not warmly wel
Fantastic Vegetarian-Friendly Spot with Outstanding Service
We had such a wonderful experience at Astoria in Washington! The food was absolutely delicious — a perfect balance of bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and thoughtful presentation. As vegetarians, we were thrilled by the variety of options available
Hidden Gem!
We LOVED this place! The drinks, the food, the staff and the atmosphere. Visiting DC for the first time in many years, we were excited to tour the city and view the Cherry Blossoms. We were pleased with most all of the restaurants we selected (ba
Memorable food , great for solo
I visited Astoria solo and I found it was the perfect place for a happy hour/early dinner. The bartenders are highly knowledgeable, their collection of drink offerings is vast. They made me two very different non-alcoholic behaves and they were by fa
Nothing special
The hostess was really unfriendly, which was almost reason enough to not return. There was nothing special about the drinks. The atmosphere inside is cool. The bartender and waiters were friendly.
Hidden diamond!
Wow - excellent Asian dinner - came here this evening with 5 friends on a recommendation. Food was excellent - only watch out is tat it’s spicy… but if that’s good for you it’s excellent. Hard to get a table on a Sunday night on walk in bas
Excellent Chinese Food
My nephew likes this place. It has several different areas of seating, each with a different atmosphere. There are too many exciting items on the menu to try in one visit. All the food we tried was excellent, and the cocktails were great, too. The fo

Went there last week and the food was good and service was nice. But today I saw the payment went through for Astoria and they gave themselves a 70 dollar tip on my 32.45 bill. They don't have a number I can find or an email I can contact them throug
Everything is great but you must order the the "DBJ Fish"
Everything is great but you must order the the "DBJ Fish" - it's the last item on the "old menu" ... It's one of their original offerings and you won't find anything like anywhere. It is awesome!

I wanted to leave a good review since the good was really good. But I left my credit card at the restaurant and I was not able to find a phone number anywhere to contact them. It sucks that the restaurant is trying to keep their phone number as a sec

Amazing authentic sizchuan food, love the entire menu and the restaurant. Be prepared for some spice! Cocktails are also amazing, every one we tried was so unique and well made. Highly recommend going to Astoria!
Great service, fantastic and fun cocktails, and good food.
The dan dan noodles were so great!! The atmosphere is very fun

Reposting this since my personal bad experience has to be edited for yelp. This review is more so for the poor service not food related. I Visited DC and stopped by here with my family for dinner. The waiter was I guess to be polite just unnecessaril
Rude service.
Claims reservations mean small party cannot sit outside. This contradicts their reservations. A shame.
Yes, You Should Eat Here.
Found this place while searching for late night eats near our hotel. Showed up without a reservation and waited about 30 minutes or so. Totally worth it. Despite a little weirdness with the standing room to seating system (or lack thereof), our exper

Ivana and the whole staff were soooo welcoming and hospitable. We got a few rounds of the delicious tacos and a few cocktails, we'll definitely be back!
Astoria used to be my absolute favorite.
I would look forward to it like a kid waiting for Santa. However the quality of the food has dropped significantly and the last two times we had to send food back. For example, the steak chimichurri used to be my absolute favorite. Now it's nearly in

I love love love Astoria and make it my mission to try and visit at least quarterly. Although it's rare I ever have a reservation, I have become pretty comfortable hanging at the bar until seats open up. The staff do a great job managing that and giv
Really good place for casual drinks and food.
Drinks are expensive at $17 each but they are well made. The food is the better deal! Two of us shared the salt and pepper fried eggplant and Dan Dan noodles and it was enough. I cannot rave enough about the salt and pepper fried eggplant - so crispy
My experience here was not so great.
The business literally only had 2/3 things available out of 9-10 things that were listed on the menu. The food was salty. The drinks were average.
absolutely incredible food and vibe.
i heard about this place because it has a bib gourmand designation, and saw that the menu was designed for sharing, so i invited a few of my friends for dinner. technically our party was a little too large for what astoria says they accommodate (they

so sad how it became super busy because i was gatekeeping this place for so long since they opened. although expensive EVERYTHING i tried for food and all the drinks are soo good. i love their noodles, eggplant, mapotofu, wontons and everything
Food wasn't too authentic, but the flavors were pretty good.
I liked the beef noodles, but I thought that the boiled beef was way too salty, when it should've been more mala-flavored and spicy than salty. Ambiance was sexy-- good for date night. Service was great!

i had such a wonderful meal here! it's a beautiful place on the inside; very cozy vibe, perfect place to go for drinks and to chat, or for a date night! it's a busy place so i'd recommend a reservation (even on non-weekend nights). to drink, i got a

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Astoria DC Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Astoria DC Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Astoria DC Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Astoria DC Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Astoria DC Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
