Ah!  You sure hit my sweet spot.  China Garden, in Rosslyn, 2nd floor of the RCA
building.  Very good.

Fortune, just west of Bailey's Crossroads on Route 7 in Virginia -- the very
best dim sum I've ever had in my life.  But call before going, find out what
time they start serving -- and get there 10-15 minutes before that.  Once they
open, although it's a big place, the line gets very, very long and people wait
for an hour or more.  REALLY good.
 
Tung Bor, up in Silver Spring area -- very good, very small, and tends to crowd
up very early after they open.

Avoid the China Inn down in "Chinatown" -- not very good.
