Grace's Mandarin

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants. If you like Mandarin food with a modern flair, this is the place to go. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu, and it’s always delicious. The service here is exceptional, they really make it a priority, and it shows every time. I’ve been coming here for 15 years, and it’s been consistently excellent. The restaurant is beautiful, the servers are well-dressed and professional, and there’s always plenty of space. On the rare occasion there’s been an snag, it’s been handled quickly and cordially. Some of my go-to dishes are the lamb chops sided with creamy goat cheese spread (I think it's goat cheese :) lol) and chives, the Singapore noodles with a side of Panang curry and sriracha, and the jumbo lump crab cake, it’s honestly one of the best

I am glad we went to this restaurant while staying at the Westin. The hostess was very friendly when we arrived. We were seated quickly without a reservation for a party of 6. The atmosphere was amazing. I got the edamame, crab rangoon, and Thai noddles dish with tofu. All items were amazing!

Emily our hostess was great. Overall the staff are very cordinated and the experience is just good. Absolutely loved the food and have no complains. Had the Japanese stew and it was excellent! biggest mussels I have seen

I recently visited this Mandarin restaurant and had a pleasant overall experience. The atmosphere was absolutely lovely — cozy, vibrant, and perfect for a relaxed meal. The service was also impressive; the staff were attentive, friendly, and quick to respond. As for the food, it was average — some dishes were flavorful, while others could have been more balanced in taste. Overall, it’s a great place for the ambiance and service, but the food could be improved a little.

The prices are on the higher end but all worth it because the food was delicious! High quality and great portions with generous protein. For entrees, if you’re absolutely starving, one per person. But if you just want to be reasonably full and not overeat, I think 2 people could share an entree and just add another side of rice. I had to take a star off though because the service left a bit to be desired, especially considering the prices and the luxurious ambiance and decor of the place. It took a while to get our orders in but at least the food didn’t take too long to come out. The restaurant was pretty full so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I would still come back though given it’s one of the few Asian dining options at National Harbor and the food was delicious.
