    The food was good. Not great. However we can’t really say anything bad about it. They had great options and the food was a nice mixture of cultures. We would recommend eating here if you are looking for something different.

    Lucky Danger was such a highlight of the pandemic before they closed in Mount Vernon and I'm happy to report they're back in DC and *incredible*. We did the Crab Rangoon ( $14 ), beef short rib and bone marrow dumplings ( $15 and my personal favorite ), shumai ($15) to start. All were servings of five and delicious. For mains we did the Mapo Tofu ($25) and Chinese Egg Noodles and Tomato ( $25). We finished with the egg tart ( $13 ). Overall the music was a little loud but fun. Happy hour only goes until six. I hope they expand it to 630/7 so more people come in to try it before committing to the full menu. You can reserve mahjong tables in the back! Definitely some of the best Asian food in DC right now.
