City Lights of China 202-265-6688
1731 Connecticut Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20009


City Lights of China's food is its star attraction. The art deco interior is minimalist and crowded with patrons, and the service is hurried. Still, the crowds of young and old are a testament to its diverse, authentic menu of consistent Chinese dishes. The portions are large and priced accordingly, but reasonably, especially for a Chinese restaurant so far from Chinatown.

Used to be one of my faves Jun 7th, 2005
I have been disappointed in my last two trips to City Lights. It used to be a real favorite, but service was incredibly slow and non-existent after we received our meals.

The food was okay -- there was a time when their Spicy Shrimp could not be beaten for a great meal, but things have changed.

Great meal, good price. Aug 27th, 2001
I had a wonderful dinner, with courteous and friendly service. I was particularily happy with the General Tso's Chicken, which had a wonderful flavor, and was much fresher than any I've had before. The crabmeat asparagus soup was delicious, but salty (according to my mom - I don't eat seafood).

I was seated in the back, by a hallway to the kitchen, and there was a bit more noise than I would have liked [glasses, plates, and so forth clanking], but it quickly faded into the background.

The parking was very convenient (on Florida Ave., and free with validation), though it would have been just as easy to take the Metro.
