Hear, Hear.... Every year I see China Inn on THE LIST and I have to ask,
"Did you have the flu that day?"  Of course, I only went to China Inn
once... but it was SO mediocre, and consistently so (everyone at the table
went, "bleah"), that I have never gone back.  (Why bother, with all of
Chinatown surrounding.)


As for Thai -- I recommend Thai Kingdom (21st (?) and K St NW).  Their
Panang Red Curry Beef made me dance the dance of that cartoon dog who used
to eat the little triangular biscuits and float into the air (for the life
of me I can't remember the character name).

Anyway.... Thai Kingdom.


BTW -- how about a thread on the best carry-out Chinese... I live near
this hole-in-the-wall called Danny's next to the People's on H St NE.  If
you don't mind evading the homeless people asking for $1.25 for 3
wings and yelling at the people working behind the inch thick plexiglass,
the Hunan Chicken is EXCELLENT.

(Despite the tawdry surroundings, you can see into the kitchen and watch
them work.  Also, the chicken they use is good quality, not that fatty,
B-Grade stuff that some low-end carry-outs use.)
