Pelican Seafood, 7327 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA, 703-354-9888 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [Chowhound | Yelp]
An odd mix of a totally normal “American-Chinese” restaurant, eight or so quite good Hong Kong style noodle soup dishes with dumplings, fish and chips, and steam crabs. The latter three I like, and the seafood is reasonably priced. I am never sure how good this place is, but it appeals to some of my weaknesses and so I will continue to visit. It has become quite popular, including with non-Chinese and African-Americans.

Thanks for the food tip, and the video! So cute! Lovin it.
