I hadn't been to Amoo's in a couple of years, but when I saw that Joe's Gourmet Burgers was on holiday break, I decided to drive the extra mile up to Chesterbrook. In a hurry, I asked for something quick, and the owner directed me toward the stews, which she said would only take about five minutes. The Geymeh ($9.95) was a large portion of food, with decent rice as a base. When I eat Persian stews as carryout, I generally just pour everything on and begin scarfing, so I dumped the whole container of split peas, beef cubes, tomato sauce, saffron, dried lime, and potatoes (frozen french fries) onto the rice, then dumped the yogurt and green hot sauce on top of that. This is a good, hearty dish that's more than enough food for anyone. Obviously, it would be nice if Amoo's had homemade bread, but the packaged version they include is at least thin enough not to be overbearingly dry with the food. Amoo's is open until 10 PM (worth remembering if you live in the area), seven nights a week, and has free delivery with a $30 minimum. They also offer on-site catering. And sitting near the door are business cards from Nancy, an eyebrow designer in Vienna. Cheers, Rocks.

A Yelper said: I hit China Kingdom by myself last night as my wife and kid went to visit her family in Ohio/Indiana. Started with an order of xlb, which took forver to come out. In fact, it arrived after my vegetarian pan-fried noodles. It was a Sunday evening after a South African had won the Masters by making four birdies on the last four holes. Apparently, an exciting Masters with Tiger and many others in contention didn't stop many Chinese families from eating at China Kingdom, which lead to slow service in the dining room and the kitchen. As for the xlb, the Yelpers were right about it being soupy and easy to tear. However, my xlb came with a soy and vinegar mixture and julienned ginger - as it's supposed to be. As for flavor, I think they were so so. I'm not entirely sure they're better than the frozen ones from Great Wall. The pan-fried noodles were half decent as well.
