A run of the mill Chinese restaurant, which, while having nothing-special food, is a nicely furnished place to sit over a meal. There's a well stocked bar in the back, but... come on, you can do better than a suburban Chinese restaurant bar in the D.C. area.

Kensington likely has the worst dining scene of any D.C. suburb, but it does have one gem. Continental's is a hole in the wall, with a unique-style, delicious pizza on the cheap a large with toppings costs just $8. People drive from way out of town to get it. The steak and cheese sub is likely the best in the metropolitan area, and the fries are thick and smothered with Old Bay. If you're in Kensington, eat here. Even if you don't like pizza!
