I recently went to an opening of a excellent Chinese resturant 
- Great Wall of Herndon.  For the opening they had a free - yes free -
buffet with some excellent dishes.  We liked it so much we
decided to try what the 'real food' tastes like and were very
surprised how good the food was.  And we returned again.

The resturant is higher priced than some of the resturants in the area
(Hot and Sour soup goes for $1.35 rather than the typical $.90 - $1.25)
but still would fit on the Washingtonian Cheap Eats list.

It is a bit more dressy as well - nice to take a business client out
without triggering the expense account limits (which I don't have :( ).

Their Peking Duck is excellent with crisp skin and is meaty unlike
some of the Peking ducks in the area.  The pancakes are freshly
made and large and the waiter made of each two duck rolls before
letting us finish it off.

If you go there be sure to try their appetizer of pan-fried dumplings;
they are freshly made so you will have to allow them 15 minutes
We ordered them both times.

I saw nothing impressive in the soup menu but the soup we tried
(a tofu soup) was good.

I would like to comment on their chicken but by the time
it was ready my baby girl was acting up and we took it to go.
My wife finished it off before I had a chance to try it :(.

There are located in the Wordgate shopping center near
exit 2 of the Dulles Toll road.  I heard that the managers
have two other Great Wall resturants in Maryland as well.
