You could try the spicy fish with potato and lotus root, the dan dan noodles, or Chairman Mao pork belly, among many other classics. I\u2019ve had numerous dishes here, and not one of them has misfired. Somehow people don\u2019t seem to know about this place yet, but it bowled me over with its subtlety and appreciation of tradition. There have a very nice private room, the menu is relatively good for vegetarians, as Chinese goes, and the d\u00e9cor is good enough that you could bring a client or business associate here. And yet the food totally delivers. I don\u2019t think there is a separate Chinese menu, but you can always try asking about special Chinese dishes, no promises however but they might have one or two for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_4.jpg 550w, https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/AsianOrigin_1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/yu-zhou-cafe\/\" title=\"Yu Zhou Caf\u00e9\">Yu Zhou Caf\u00e9<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/peter-chang-maclean\/\" title=\"Peter Chang MacLean\">Peter Chang MacLean<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/cafe-china-nyc\/\" title=\"Cafe China &#8211; NYC\">Cafe China &#8211; NYC<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/yu-noodles-fairfax\/\" title=\"Yu Noodles, Fairfax\">Yu Noodles, Fairfax<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wang-dynasty\/\" title=\"Wang Dynasty\">Wang Dynasty<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asian Origin, web site, 1753 Pinnacle Drive, McLean, VA, very close to Tysons II, 703-448-9988 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [Don Rockwell | Ylp] Update July 2020: Reportedly new owners and new chef.
