Asian American Ii - Calumet-Norvelt

Features: Customer service as terrible not patient with giving understanding with orders. Good food though.

This used to be my neighborhood fast casual Asian American restaurant when I lived in Shaw/Logan Circle and I will travel in just to pick up their food. The white rice is steamed to perfection every time, and I have yet to have a dish I don’t like. The shop owners are so dedicated, hardworking, and kind and deserve your business wholeheartedly!

Ordered takeaway through the Delivery.com app. Pretty good quantity of Gen. Tso and shrimp lo mein for a lunch special although perhaps a bit heavy on the rice in order to fill out the container. Everything also seemed fresh and of pretty good quality for takeout.One item of note, specific to the Delivery.com app perhaps, is that you can't specify fried rice. I actually think it probably comes as the default but I selected white in the rice category because the only options were white and brown. If you want fried rice, I think you probably just don't choose a rice option because it's not a required question.

TRAAASSHHHH!!! I REPEEAT, DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! I ORDERED ABOUT 7 DISHES AND ALL OF THEM HAD HAIR! HUMAN HAIR WRAPPED MIXED WITH THE FOOD AS IF ITS APART OF THE MENU! WHEN I CALLED TO COMPLAIN, THE LADY GAVE ME THE DELIVERY DRIVERS NUMBER AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT UP WITH THEM. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT GO HERE. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO GET INSPECTED OFTEN OR SHUT IT DOWN.

Bottom line: Solid American-Chinese food to satisfy your Chinese cravings. A few notches above most Chinese carryout/delivery joints in the Shaw/Logan Circle area.General Tso's Chicken: 4/5 Large serving. I asked for extra spicy, but the sauce was still too sweet for my taste.Pork Lo Mein: 4/5 Really good, but slightly oily.Moo Shu Chicken: 5/5 Very tasty. Huge serving, enough for 2 people.Delivery: 4/5 20 minute delivery on a Wednesday night. Food arrived hot. Faster delivery than most other Chinese places that I've ordered from.
