This is a nice family-friendly restaurant in Chinatown, I would recommend it for a big family dinner or while touring the DC downtown. The dining area is pretty big and portions are generous.

Ordered the omakase menu, which was good. The decor is primarily black including the plates. Food looks much better on white plates.
