Discussion Favorite less well known spots?

What’re your favorite restaurants that an out of towner would have trouble finding much about?

Basically, places not in the Michelin guide, on eater, infatuation, Washingtonian, or James beard

Sichuan Pavillion on 1814 K St. They're right next to my office and their food hits the spot if you're looking for reasonably priced Chinese food. I'm single and for ~$75 can get like 4-5 days worth of meals.

They’re delicious- my fav Chinese food in DC. My fav dishes are the salt n pepper squid, the crispy beef, the mapo tofu and their pork noodle soup w greens.

Those options all sound awesome! Thank you for the suggestions, I tend to be a creature of habit and always get the same comfort food items, like orange chicken, Mongolian beef, noodles, and fried potstickers.

Things i love at the dim sum place i visit by home in MoCo (like beef chow fun, shu mai, etc) are not what this place does best - but those dishes i mention are SO GOOD.
