dc's chinatown is studded with mediocre heavily touristic chinese restaurants. one notable exception, with an unlikely name, is chinatown express on the corner of 7th and h streets. my brother, andrew, turned us onto it a few months back when he stopped by dc for a day. there is always a cook in the front window stuffing pork dumplings and stretching out thick, chewy noodles - the cornerstone of their business. for $5-8, depending on the fixings, you can get a hefty bowl of soup that will fuel the tanks for an afternoon exploring the nearby smithsonian portrait gallery.
