I've been to City Lights a few times, and the food has always really greasy and just not that great. They do have a nice lunch special where you can order from a set menu for a reduced price, which works out really well for a big group. They are very accomodating about large groups and the staff is very nice. Not all the servers speak English very well (and I'm not great at Chinese pronunciation off the menu!) so I've sent things back when my order was wrong, and they were great about it. Some people really enjoy the food, so it might be worth a shot.
This restaurant is about 4 blocks from the Bethesda metro.
