50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Catonsville

“Tried them for the first time today and am sold. Best Chinese food my wife and I have tasted in ages, and we lived in NYC for 4 years. Singapore mei fun - excellent. Happy family - excellent. Combination fried rice - excellent. Shrimp egg rolls - best I've ever tasted, anywhere. Steamed dumplings - very good, but the wrapping was a bit thick and the sauce was a bit scanty. We look forward to trying many, many more selections. Great job!“

“The noodle soup was so flavorful and was perfect! I had the signature dish Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup with thin noodles. The noodles are hand pulled and made fresh every day and you can tell by the excellent texture and flavor! My new favorite restaurant! Also we were honored by four songs excellently played on the baby grand piano. Thank you for a delightful dinner, perfect service, and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend Chopin Noodle House and look forward to trying more dishes on the menu. ❤“

“Their services is great.“

“Great food awesome atmosphere“

“Best Chinese food in Catonsville hands down. I eat here nearly once a week. The staff is extremely friendly and kind. This is the only place I eat Chinese food anymore

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp directly in front“

“First time I have ordered here and I was delighted ...food was delivered to my house within 25 min, it arrived hot and delicious. I tried the Subgum wonton dish which was chocked full of Chinese vegetables, pork, chicken, beef and shrimp in a mild tasty red sauce...very good. The second order was for Sesame chicken, this was by far the best version of this dish I have ever tasted! Usually with Chinese carryouts the rice comes in small containers, not this place, the portion of rice is huge for each dish you order. Finally, the chicken fried rice was yummy, with tiny diced vegetables and plenty if chicken. If the rest of the food is as good as my first order, I'll be ordering here a lot!“

“I ordered 2 entrees and one side. White rice for the side and 2 entrees of Beef and Broccoli but she ran out of it while putting the last scrapes on my tray, yet it wasn't 2 entrees but more like one and a half scoop. Where's the rest!!“

“We partnered with this establishment many times in catering/festivals and has truly been a successful partnership. Yunnan Asian cuisine is a bit difference from our usual Cantonese Asian cuisine however, Water Song has always exceeded our expectation with their authentic ingredients.“

“The lady at the counter was super nice, got me my food as soon as it was ready. I got the general Tso’s chicken. Portions were very large and the chicken was super crispy and flavorful. When I was leaving she offered me a soda from the fridge. I don’t know if it was part of the meal but I did not read that so it felt like a kind gesture. Amazing service with good food. Only complaint is there is no dining area. Even a few tables would be nice for taking someone out to eat. Great resturant“

“The food is very good. Had the Peking duck which was excellent. Also good was the scallion pancake, green beans. The special house made garlic sauce is excellent. Service was slow and inattentive. The place was very loud making conversation difficult.“

“Food was delicious and straightforward. The wait time wasn’t too long, especially since you can start eating as soon as they roll out the cart of steamed and baked dishes. Highly recommend their duck and beef lo mein. Make sure to get their steamed Crystal Shrimp and steamed pork buns!“

“We visited this evening. Food was fantastic! I really enjoyed the soup dumplings! The staff was super courteous. I had brought in dessert (a cake) from outside and they were super nice about it. They even offered to refrigerate it for us! After dinner, they brought us fresh plates, forks and a knife. Despite being very busy they also don't rush you too much.“

“The gyozas were some of the best we ever had and the service was outstanding. However, the menu can be a bit confusing for newcomers. Both our noodle dishes were tasty (one with beef and the other one with fish). Somehow, the noodles felt a bit overcooked. May be that’s the way they were supposed to be but we prefer them firmer. We will be back to try other dishes.“

“This place is, hands down, the best Chinese food I've ever had. The service was amazing and so kind! I've always loved Mei Fun, but Golden Coast has out done themselves with this meal. Great portions and it was so flavorful! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“Nestled in a bustling shopping center alongside Honey Pig, Chin Xi'an Style Restaurant is a hidden gem that specializes in handpulled, numbing Szechuan noodles.

During our Saturday lunch visit, the restaurant was buzzing with activity. Limited seating means you might have to wait 5-10 minutes for a table during peak times, but trust me, it’s worth it. The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, perfect for a quick meal.

We started with the 12 Hour Stewed Pork Hand Pulled Noodles and the Spicy Pork Noodles, alongside the “you pick 3” cold dishes: dried tofu skin, sweet heat cabbage, and shredded potatoes. We couldn’t resist adding a Spicy Cumin Beef Murger, served in a crisp baked flatbread.

The handpulled noodles were undeniably the highlight. Each strand was perfectly al dente, with just the right amount of chew. The stewed pork noodles stole the show—flavorful, tender, and the kind of comfort food that warms your soul. The spicy pork noodles were a bit of a letdown in comparison; while enjoyable, they lacked the bold flavor profile that made the stewed pork so memorable.

The cold dishes were a delightful accompaniment. The crunchy texture of the shredded potatoes and sweet heat cabbage provided a refreshing contrast to the chewy noodles. They added a nice touch of variety to our meal.

As for the Murger, it was decent. The cumin flavor was prominent and well-executed, making it a satisfying choice to round out our meal.

Overall, Chin Xi'an is an excellent spot for those craving authentic Szechuan flavors. The noodles are the star, and with a few tweaks to some dishes, this place could easily elevate itself to must-visit status. If you find yourself in Ellicott City, make sure to stop by for a taste of their handpulled noodles—you won’t regret it!

Vegetarian options: several vegetarian options

Parking: plenty of adjacent lot parking

Kid-friendliness: menu is somewhat friendly to kids as long as they like noodles

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant can get a little cramped at peak hours for a wheelchair. No stairs present is a plus“

“The lady owner who usually takes my order and her son who helps, are always nice and friendly. The general tso chicken is good. However, sometimes I may have 1 to 2 pieces of chicken that are too chewy and the sauce is sweet to me, even though it is supposed to be spicy.

I usually ask they make mine very spicy. They are accommodating too. I like their pork fried rice with extra onions and vegetable lo mein. The spareribs tips are okay. The scallion pancake tasted okay too, but it was dense and not soft. Overall, I find it to be a very good place for Chinese food.“

“originally went to Asian bistro to find dinning room was closed and was very happy because this place was fresh and wonderful. a new great fin6“

“Our waiter, Mustafa was absolutely wonderful!! He gave us extremely useful advice on the foods that we could choose from. He was extremely personable! The food was fantastic! Mustafa made sure, at every turn, that we had a divine dining experience. Thank you PF Chang’s for the excellent choice to hire him. Mustafa deserves a raise and special recognition for making us feel so welcome!“

“We came on vacation and we where just really craving chinese food. Looked for the closest one and what a great restaurant this is. We ordered delivery for 4 people and the lady on the phone was very patient and thoughtful.
The food was amazing and fresh, if you're tired from a long day of traveling this guys are the best. The combos are an absolute deal for what you get.“

“I absolutely love the food here,you can never go wrong here!! It’s gonna be a few bucks,but it’s worth it for an amazing meal,experience.. I recommend the sesame chicken dark meat,and get an extra side of white rice,you’ll be 100% satisfied..

Parking: At a time when a lot of people are there,there will only be probably a few spots“

“My review might be different if I went for lunch instead of dinner, as it was relatively empty and some things interesting characters came in and wandered the restaurant while we were eating.

First, and most importantly, the food was incredible. We ordered a bunch of dim sum, and a scallion and egg fried rice. Overall, we ordered the pork soup dumplings, shrimp shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, beef pastry, gluttonous, rice, Chinese burger and the scallion and egg fried rice.

The food was delicious, especially the shrimp shumai, the beef pastry, and the fried rice.

The staff was friendly, but unattentive unless prompted by me, but it could’ve just been an awful night.

Will definitely be back for the food, but likely for takeout“

“My family and I ate here for the first time last night We were blown away by how good the food was. I'm certain we will be back again soon. I've already recommended it to all the people I know in the Baltimore area.“

“I ordered lo mien and won ton soup and I would say they both have a different taste than what I’m used to. It’s not as mid as mall Asian food, as the noodles are actually normal size. Lots of scallions in the soup, which I like! But the won ton dough itself was hard, not soft at all.“

“Our favorite Chinese delivery. We call ON THE PHONE (no need to install an app), pay CASH, get wonderful, quick service, and enjoy a fresh, hot, tasty meal. Old school and really yummy. I find the dumpling wraps too thick, but the fam love them, and every other dish is good.“

“My first time and was treated especially nice by the staff. The food was awesome and the experience will go in the books as one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at in MD ❤️“

“The food was delicious! Highly recommend hot crispy beef and the honey sesame eggplant!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I ordered from Hong’s Taste for my Chinese neighbors, and they absolutely loved it! The flavors were authentic, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The portions were generous, and the presentation was spot on. It’s not easy to impress my neighbors when it comes to Chinese food, but Hong’s Taste exceeded expectations. The service was smooth and timely, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious Chinese cuisine!“

“I have been coming here since I was a kid, and it hits every time ? It's one of the best meals you will ever have.

The crispy beef with green beans is our go-to, but we recently tried their Pan-Fried noodles, and it's one of the best I have ever experienced ?

Do yourself a favor and give them a visit. You won't be sorry!“

“Egg foo young should not be CRUNCHY!!! Whoever made mine on the day of order had not mastered cracking eggs without mixing eggshells in... I asked for and received a full refund. Will never return. That experience was a violation I will not risk repeating.“

“Deliciousness. The Bourbon Chicken over lo mein is so goodEdit: I cant believe I didnt know they were open again but better late than never. StokedFollow up: Bourbon Chicken ztill on point. I miss the poorly written sign on the glass that said Bourbon Chicken, but it makes me feel special knowing that it's on the "secret menu"“

“Great place. Came there since I was a baby and they still remember me. Good hearted people. Let me get a free soda for being a good customer. My relationship with them is wonderful. Food there tastes awesome. Won’t get Chinese food anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Love kids. They might give them a treat or a soda.“

“My son would still order from here, even he moved far away. Excellent food!“

“First time eating here and the food was great and they were super nice!“

“We called beforehand and went here 30 minutes before closing. They were still kind enough to serve us, and didn’t rush us out even after 10:30, which is when they close. I appreciate the kindness of the staff and enjoyed all of the food I ate!“

“This was my first time here, staff great, very clean.the food was great and well worth the money. Thanks

Parking: That parking is very bad, I wish they could move to a nicer place.

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see any people park were they want, and I need the handi cap“

“I wanted to try a new place. So, I got the General Tso's chicken combo with pork fried rice and a shrimp egg roll. I absolutely loved the fried rice with the little bean sprouts in it. My shrimp egg rolls were full of shrimp. And my chicken was very good too.

It tasted good cold later on, too.“

“Love this place! Haven't eaten here for years ever since I moved to another state but I'm glad we came here for dim sum when I was in the area. We arrived 15 minutes before opening time on 11am on a Sunday morning and were almost immediately seated. There were already some people eating. Immediately after being seated, the food carts started coming by with a large variety of steaming hot dishes. Food was steaming hot and delicious! The waiter was very attentive, stopping by often to serve us hot tea, iced water, drop off the soy sauce and chili oil when requested, and pick up the empty dishes. The food carts also came by frequently in case we wanted to get more dishes. By 11:10am there was a line of people waiting for a free table. We finished our meal in record time by 11:30. Excellent service! Will come by again when I'm in the area.

Edit 10/6/24:
Had a severe craving for dim sum after coming back from Europe. Arrived 11:30am on Sunday and was seated pretty quickly. Ordered our favorites: beef stew, siumai, sharkfin, stuffed bean curd, sticky rice, etc. The server for our area was really quick with tea, waters, chili oil, picking up empty steamer baskets and dishes, bringing us any extra food to take home, extra take home containers, and getting our bill at the end. If the envious people at home hadn't put in last minute take home orders, we would have been in and out within 30 minutes.“

“So I finally had the opportunity to get myself some food from Peking Court and I must admit it really was good & I'm quite glad that I stopped by! My friend rice was fresh not sticky and the orange chicken was full of flavor....I usually save some food for later, but I wound up eating it all???...Yup, I'll be going back!??“

“Great food and fresh!!! We came back to columbia just to have lunch there :) haven’t lived there in over20 years“

“First time eating today , I really wanted some YAKAMIEN! It’s season well but the only thing I wish ( it was darker and greasy ?) it be so good that way . I will go back to get more and I’m glad they answer the PHONE QUICK! I called my order in rather me sitting in my car in a dark area .I wish they had this in the COUNTY ! Just a FYI, I literally have to drive 30 mins for this and it’s worth it.“

“My husband and I want some Chinese food so we said let try China Wok on 714 York Rd. We got the vegetable lo mein,pork fried rice and 4 shrimp egg roll. The food was tasty. After we ate it we want more. This will be the place I get my Chinese food from. The lady who took my order was very nice.“

“Ordered many times and no matter what I get, it is always very good!! They are very nice also! Highly recommend!!“

“Bought food from the Towson location today, and I absolutely loved it!! The food was fresh, well-seasoned and spicy, and well-portioned. The staff was very friendly, and their restaurant looked very clean. I was so surprised how very good it was for fast-food Chinese take out. I WILL be coming back here when I visit Towson Town Center again.“

“This place is small and no one else dined in when we were there, but the phone rang off the hook and the doorbell often sounding. The most significant detail I want to mention is the portion size. WOW! I’ve never gotten so much food for my money at a Chinese restaurant. The food is literally served in glass pie plates, to give you an idea of size. It was tasty, too! Many vegetarian options. Veggies were crisp and not overcooked too, which is another great plus!“

“The BEST, THE BEST DELICIOUS Food, Cooked Perfectly ALL the time.Been coming here for a long time and NEVER had any problems.I mostly get the Orange Chicken with rice. Sometimes get the Beef, Broccoli and Rice or General Tso's Chicken with rice.Very clean Restaurant with EXCELLENT SERVICE, Great Prices. and most of ALL GREAT DELICIOUS FOOD.I would Highly Recommend this Restaurant to EVERYONE....Thank You to Everyone who works here.GOD BLESS YOU ?......“

“My first ever there & the food was awesome everything was great I can't lie & I love fried chicken ? in going tonight. And the cheese steak eggroll was everything & I don't normally do steak but lawd ? it was so good.. Thank you ? ?“

“Hot shrimp fried rice is too good, never had anything so delicious before. Only if this place wasn't so far away from my home. I would come here three times a week and I'm being real serious!! I sometimes think about it and drool ?“

“our server Michael at Gaithersburg MD has made our day and got say he turned our entire day around less not forget the food was amazing as well“
