I have been passing it for year, but whenever I think about it, it's not open. Glad to see they are still going so that one of these days I'll get there when they are open.

Used to drive by here every day when I lived in Old Town. I always thought about stopping but never did. You could tell it was a classic though, at lunch there would be a line of at least 5-10 construction works and white collar workers mingled together standing outside.

Reminds me of the classic SNL sketch The Olympia Restaurant. https://youtu.be/puJePACBoIo?si=xaq62HSvD0ymAZpn

Good piece. Reminded me of another Old Town Alexandria carry-out: Goody's on Queen & N. Henry, which combines Chinese and fried American food for similarly low prices. I used to go there when my office was about 3 blocks south, and I'm thinking it'd be great to stop by today.
