Jenny’s At The Wharf

Great place!
Pros: The food is great and comes in pretty large portions. An appetizer and one main course is plenty for two people. The staff is always friendly and almost too helpful! They actually use vegetables in their dishes, which is a change from many Chinese places that throw some unseasoned broccoli at the bottom and call it good.
Cons: The food can sometimes be a little too greasy for my taste — but it’s something that I know some people crave. There is very limited parking right now due to construction at the Wharf.

Good food. Bit too expensive. Nice people.
The vegetable chow foon (fun) had very few vegetables and was still $ 12 – for noodles?

A great place for lunch! Been there many times. The food is very good and very friendly staff. I love the Mongolian beef and chicken there. I have tasted different dishes and they are all good. They used to be in a very fancy spacious place and had to move to a smaller place due to construction in the area.

A good go to spot if you’re in the Waterfront area and want some decent Asian cuisine! Highly recommend that you go for lunch or happy hour because afterwards the drinks get pricey! Because of the ongoing construction of the wharf, parking is a bit odd so make sure you’re ready to walk to the restaurant!

I love Jenny’s. She’s always nice and speaks to her guess. Since she moved to her other location I’ve gone at least five times. Great place to go

We eat here (or get takeout) probably about once a week. Note that the current spot in the building of the old Channel Inn (now Wharf developer’s office) is just a temporary location while the waterfront is being redeveloped, so it doesn’t have the space, kitchen capacity, etc. that the old place, Jenny’s Asian Fusion, did when it was in a larger location closer to the Fish Market. The menu is smaller than it used to be but all the options, some new and some old favorites, have all been good. Special hat tip to the cream cheese wontons! The kitchen uses quality ingredients and everything is prepared fresh. The staff is super friendly and always attentive, and the prices for food and drinks are very reasonable. The family (daughter) also runs Scion and Crios elsewhere in the city– those are also good places if you haven’t checked them out yet! Scion especially is a great under-​the-​radar choice for spectacular craft beer selection.
Jenny’s is a little tucked away due to the construction and odd location, but a good spot to stop for a drink or meal before a show at Arena Stage (which is across the street) or before a ballgame in the warmer months (about a 10 minute walk from the ballpark). See you there!

Great find! The food and service were excellent. It was tough to find with all the Waterfront construction, but well worth it. I had a 5 spice Beef Noodle soup that I couldn’t finish. It’s very close to Arena Stage.

I should have known better. As soon as I walked in I could tell this was going to be a bad experience. Food quality is, dare I say, terrible. It’s not that it isn’t fresh. It’s hard to tell the condition of anything that has been sitting on a steam table for an hour while swimming in grease. Everything is dripping in oil and mystery sauces with unknown ingredients along with lots of salt and oil. I avoid places like Panda and all those type places. This place I would rate on that level. How anybody thinks this place is worthy of more than 2 stars is either being paid to write the review or married to the owner’s daughter. Chalk this up as a learning experience. You can get comparable food at pretty much any suburban mall food court and for about $ 5 less.

Jenny’s is our local Asian restaurant in SW! They are doing a great job with their temporary home until Phase 1 of the Wharf is complete… They used to called Jenny’s Asian Fusion! If you have take out you can watching boats on the Washington Channel… just walk a little south of the restaurant for the public open area with chairs and tables. Really nice. If you eat in, the staff is very friendly and the food is very good… Try the Mango Soufflé!

The crispy coconut fish banh mi was great. Excellent portion size and the heat from the Sriracha mayo, pickled veggies, and jalapeños lingers but is not overwhelming. I’ll make my way through them all in the future. Very nice owners and a great location to pick something up after walking the dog at east Potomac park or the Mall.

Typical American Chinese food. Not sure how it got 5 stars… The service was friendly but slightly slow. The kitchen capacity is limited. Pretty clean in the general. While the food leaves much to be desired, it does fill up stomach quickly.

This was close to the best Asian food my wife and I’ve ever had. Their orange chicken was incomparable, large and light and naturally flavorful, not sugary orange flavored. They buy their own chickens (live) and prepare them themselves. The noodles are house made and good. They use canola oil instead of soy or peanut, which makes their food taste light instead of greasy like almost all other Asian food I’ve had elsewhere. Very impressive food. And the portions were pretty large.
Just as impressive, though, was the service. We came in with a party of 16 with several small children. They were instantly friendly and accommodating, offering off-​the-​menu solutions for the kids if needed to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Fortunately, we arrived at 2pm (so after the lunch rush) and the place was almost empty.
I highly recommend this place!

This place is great. They don’t have a review history right now because they moved and changed names. However, they have wonderful food, reasonable prices, and fabulous customer service. Extremely attentive to the customers and very welcoming. I had the Phở-​rench dip, which is a banh mi with phở broth dip. Fantastic. Was a huge sandwich and a reasonable price. I highly recommend Jenny’s.
