About

Chili Bistro is an old-school Chinese restaurant near the start of DC’s Chinatown, with Sichuan tofu, vegetable spring rolls, and stir-fried bok choy among the veganizable choices noted by HappyCow. Reviews also mention weekday happy-hour specials and quick service, though one diner reported a long wait and difficulty getting ingredient information, so check how dishes are prepared when ordering.
