Mayflower Chinese Restaurant Twitter/X Food Review

Mayflower Chinese Restaurant's Pu Pu Platter

Still the One

Talia's back in town, so that can only mean Mayflower Chinese Restaurant, just off Tenley Circle. Their Pu Pu Platter ($19.45) is legendary with a lot of everything... XL Chicken Wing (crispy, moist) 2 Spring Rolls (A+) 2 creamy Fried Wontons, 3 Fried Shrimp (more please,) syrupy sweet (in a good way) Teriyaki Chicken (on a stick) and a normally stellar (but not this time) pair of BBQ Ribs (cold, not much meat.) Blame the former on a slow @Grubhub delivery, which also downgraded one of our favorite Large French Fries ($7.75) in DC. Even cold, they're still scrumptious, just not as. Next time, we'll stop by in person. Great customer service too (thanks for the extra A+ Mambo Sauce, via the phone directly.) 

Grade: B+ (We're going to let the temperature slide.)
