My DC area recommendations would be Oriental East next to Silver Spring metro. Best dim sum outside of China in ridiculous quantities. Also, Honey Pig Korean BBQ in Annandale or Centerville is equally as gut busting. Dukem Ethiopian on U Street would be great too.
Also, as an aside, try a "chevito" next to the gas station at 14th & V St NW. It will change your life! J/k, but I knew a girl who claimed to be vegan and I caught her eating one every week...part of why wonder she gained about 30 pounds.
