“Been in the neighborhood for years and frequently got the takeout lunch specials which are excellent for the amount and freshness of food, speed of service and price. If you order in person the order gets done within 5-10 minutes in my experience and that way you get your food as hot and fresh as can be. The egg roll included is wrapped separately and is crispy and light with a delicate crunch. The entree is served on a generous bed of either fried rice or steamed white rice. I've never been disappointed with the entree portions which for one person is plenty and on occasion I save half for later which is like a bonus meal for late night. All tied up in a to go bag with condiments and a plastic fork. The owners are hardworking and very nice. If you are in the Clarksburg area it's a fine little place to get your fill of takeout Chinese.“
“Think you can handle some spice? Want to eat something healthy? Haven’t needed to use Google Translate in the US before (mostly kidding, the server understood us just fine.)Bring at least 2 hungry friends and drive all the way out to Gaithersburg! We drove 20’ here from the hotel but for all the amazing Asian food we can eat in LA, they we don’t have this delicious fish soup. It is rare and special to experience totally new cuisine.Looks like we’d have to go to fly to Sichuan, Dallas, or Flushing to eat this elsewhere.Plentiful, free parking in the public lot. Small restaurant. No reservations.Their fresh watermelon juice perfectly complements the delicious, slightly sour, spicy fish soup/stew (they have regular & numbing…can only imagine how spicy “numbing” is…almost ordered it but worried that I might regret it in the morning…apologies that’s TMI.)ORDER their delicious milk mochi dessert.Cannot wait to eat here again next time we’re in DC/MD.Cheers & Happy Eating!DocMikeChiro“
“We were looking for a new restaurant to try and found Ji Bei Chuan Noodle House. We got the octopus celery salad, braised platter, assorted beef dry-mixed rice noodle, and supreme fish maw & chicken. There was a good amount of octopus in the octopus celery salad and it was tasty, but it needed some more acidity. The assorted beef dry-mixed rice noodle has the same meats as the braised meats dish, and the protein was really good. It was also a big amount of the price. I think this would be a good dish who are not familiar with Chinese cuisine, maybe with a different protein. The chicken and fish maw were also delicious, especially the chicken. Everything was well priced, with main dishes being from $13-16 each. There isn't much in the area of the restaurant though.“
“Easily one of the best local spots around Mount Airy/Damascus.Family friendly dining room with excellent service, great bar, and a take out section with a small liquor store where you can order food for carry out and pick up some beer while you’re there.The American food never disappoints and the Thai food makes me come back for more. Just a great spot, always happy when I’m there and full when I’m leaving.“
“For 20 years, the staff here has been wonderful to my family, whether we're dining in or taking out. We keep coming back because they are so reliable and the food tastes great. Their Chinese options taste fantastic, although I miss their Japanese options which recently went away under new management. Highlights include crab rangoons, kung pao chicken, and hot and sour soup. Clean, inviting atmosphere inside the restaurant.“
“The restaurant is pretty small and cozy. We ordered seafood and chicken soups. The seafood soup was good, but the chicken soup was ok. The noodles were overcooked, and the chicken pieces had a smell, so I didn't like it. I also ordered fried shrimp and scallion pancakes. Both the appetizers were good. Overall, it is a casual spot for soups and appetizers.“
“Lunch combos aren't worth it. I've order 2 different combos (curry chicken & szechuan chicken combos) and all you get is a bunch of veggies covered in sauce and barely any meat, which is highly disappointing. At the price points, you're better of just ordering a regular meal because I also ordered double cooked beef and that was amazing and the portion for that was really good. Their apps are really good. I really liked the fried crab sticks and they're much better than other chinese places I've had. Other than that, the service has been great. No comment on atmosphere but each time I've gone, there's always people there so thats a plus.“
“I love this place because their steamed yu choy is yummy. They didn't use much oil to make it, which makes it healthy. The salt and pepper squid could use a little spicy powder to make it more flavorful. I'm looking forward to trying their wonton, char siew noodle, and milk tea next time.“

“Went for a birthday celebration dinner on a weekday evening. The place features a large selection of vegetarian dishes, but mostly not the "usual" lentils and cauliflower. We ordered the large sampler dish, to get familiar with a variety of dishes. It came with 7 different samples, all of them very tasty, flavorful and unique. Highly recommended. I especially note the rice cooked in coconut milk and cumin, and a superb dark daal soup - thick and spiced to perfection. Very helpful and attentive service and a calm ambience and décor. It was a wonderful evening.“
“Beyond being friendly and attentive, China Jade staff are very honest and generous with genuine commitment to exceed our satisfaction! The award winning chef menu boasts authentic Chinese dishes with fresh and high-quality ingredients in a warm and cozy store, the best thing is NO msgs or processed stuff. The value and portions is unbeatable for the price. Delivery is very convenient and parking is abundant free“
“My husband and I have been coming here for the last 9 years! This is our favorite place. The Sizzling black pepper beef and hot and sour soup is by far my favorite on the menu! The whole menu is delicious and the service is FANTASTIC, the atmosphere is homey and welcoming!!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!“
“3.7.24 Location The restaurant is located in the King Farm Village Center and on the backside of Safeway. There is limited street parking in front. There is also parking lot across from Ming's with a walkway. Ambiance This restaurant is not dine in. There is only a small table for two and two separate chairs likely to be used when waiting. I got there early and ate at the table. They had Chinese music playing in the background. Menu -Weekday (11am-3pm) lunch specials include: mini spring roll, choice of egg drop or hot & sour soup, and 1 of 12 entrees. -They sell milk & fruit tea and toppings. Food -I ordered the lunch special sesame chicken and selected the egg drop soup. I also ordered a medium taro milk tea with boba. I appreciated that the food came out piping hot. It was actually so hot that I had to blow on the food, was sweating, and had to take my sweater off. It was my first time (to my recollection) having egg drop soup and I loved it. Spring roll was crispy. The sesame chicken and rice were moist. The sauce for the chicken was different, but still good. Taro tea was good and the boba had the perfect chewiness. The portion for lunch was generous especially for the price. Can't beat it. I only managed to finish half my chicken entree after eating my soup and spring roll. Service Good and friendly service. The owner's wife runs the counter and takes orders by phone and in-person. She brought my food out and when she noticed I didn't have the crispy noodle with my soup, she went to get it. I appreciated her attention to details. Helpful Info -Delivery within 2 miles with $20 minimum. -Closed on Tuesdays. Final thoughts I loved my lunch, fair pricing, generous portion, and friendly and attentive service.“
“Small place. No seating. No delivery through apps.I've enjoyed this place so far. Trying out different things as I go. I recommend: Combination Lo Mein is good but they skimp a bit on the protein. Mongolian beef is good, there are a lot of fried onions/green onions in it and they actually have char on them. So I really enjoy that one. Bourbon chicken is good. It's not AS good as what you might get at a mall, but it's close. The sweet and sour chicken was one of the better I've had. Only had it once so far but it had a great crunch on the outside. Egg roll was decent.I don't recommend: their fried rice. It's yellow and tasteless, so they probably use a neutral oil with no sauces/spices. The crab Rangoon are the triangles as opposed to the four prong crowns. Which I've always found to be inferior. They didn't taste like anything. Kung pao was a let down too. First one I've seen in MD with a variety of veggies (which I like). A lot of kung Pao in MD is just chicken and peanuts. But the sauce was sweet and not spicy. So it was really off-putting when I ate it. ALSO the egg drop soup was good. But they use premade/individually wrapped crunchy noodles. First time I'd ever seen them anywhere. And they were not good.The place prepares their food quite fast. I ordered $60 of food last time and they quoted me 10-12 minutes. I think not dealing with sit down orders or deliveries makes it easier to crank out food. So far good food. I recommend them as a good place. They also do small orders on some of their entrees. Which I appreciate so I can try things without spending too much money.“

“Lived in DC area for few years.. but hands down this restaurant is by far serves the best indian food I ever had... its really authentic indian food specializing offcourse in wide variety of biryanis... it did feel like you were in Hyderabad india!! i would totally recommend the natukodu pulao, goat fry, goat biryani, Gobi Manchurian!!! Not to forget the amazing staff & the owners!! if you are in DC area.. definitely a must to swing by!!“
“This is the first Chinese restaurant I visited when I moved to Frederick, MD. So far, I've had their Beef & Broccoli, Beef & Green Beans, Kung Pao Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Szechuan Beef, and Szechuan Chicken. Their friendly service and good food keep me coming back. Why only four stars? I continue to compare every Chinese restaurant to the ones I knew in the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego. It is really hard for me to find "California quality" Chinese food anywhere except California or Boston. If you want a custom order like adding garlic or low sodium, they're very happy to accommodate you. Don't be afraid to ask.“
“We happened to come across Yu Zhou after a trip to Sam's. This is clearly a family owned restaurant. On our visit I noticed the owner giving the staff iced teas from a local boba spot. Major kudos, more restaurants could learn from his leadership. Take care of your people and they'll take care of your customers. Staff was awesome and attentive, it's really an all hands on deck operation! Now the food.... Generous portions, American and authentic Chinese options and something for most everyone to enjoy. All in all a fantastic option for when you crave Chinese food!“
“So this is a tiny place and honestly the BEST Chinese restaurant around. I LOVE everything here. The owner is lovely, the food is delicious. 5 stars for service, food and coziness. I once called them for delivery and I was out of their delivery area ( I am over 20 minutes away) and they made arrangements to deliver to me anyway as I called at a slower time. Now that is CUSTOMER SERVICE! Today I ordered the rice noodle soup with chicken. The bowl was HUGE, veggies were fresh, chicken tender ....it did not disappoint!“
“Ordered on DoorDash and the food was really good. Usually Chinese food is dissapointing in the area but the fried dumplings were flavorful and crisp. The fried rice was good and the Szechuan beef is delish. Also the hot and sour soup was really good.“
“As a newcomer to the area from New Jersey, stumbling upon this Thai restaurant was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped in, I was transported back to the flavors and aromas of home. The authenticity of the dishes served here is remarkable, reminiscent of the vibrant Thai cuisine I've grown to love. Each bite was a culinary journey, bursting with rich spices and fresh ingredients. The ambiance of the restaurant further enhanced the dining experience, with its warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this gem of a restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. Thank you for always knowing which wine I like:)“
“I found House of Poolesville while looking for a bar to grab a drink and get some food and watch a few games with a friend. The restaurant has a few nice gardens on the grounds and the restaurant has a bar area and a sit down dining area. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately. I ordered a few drinks and some sushi of the menu and my friend had two Asian dishes. While looking at some of the plants outside, a lady at the restaurant asked if we wanted to take some flowers home, which I thought was very nice. The food, drinks, and service were very good and I will stop in if I find myself in Poolesville again“
“Some of the best Chinese food you can get locally. Food quality is consistent. Have been going there over 7 years every other week or so. Our favorite dish there is Homestyle tofu! other good food there are their fried chicken wings, sweet and sour chicken, lomein, fried rice, and cho-cho chicken or beefVegetarian options: several tofu dishes or string beans, broccoli and more“
“I've ordered here now at least a dozen times if not more. I've ordered about a dozen different things on the menu from chicken or beef and broccoli to Szechuan chicken or beef to curry chicken. Food is always great with good portion and the chicken wings are some of the best I've had. They have this delicate crispy flakey batter they're fried in that's really good. Must order wings with every order. Also they have great dumplings! Large and meaty so another item that must be ordered every time. The lady is always nice but she is a jack of all trades to handling orders, cooking, taking phone and online orders so she can be busy at times. This is a carry out place so no seating. This has become my go to Chinese food place, I just wish they had another menu item like subs but even still. Can't go wrong with all they have, good stuff“
“Best Thai fried rice in the area but I gave it 4 stars because thier never consistent. It always taste different like sometimes it's really good and other times it's like a new chef just learned the recipe and it's lacking it's normal flavor. However, I always order hoping it's as good as the 1st time. It's always a hit or miss but still better comparable to other resturants in the area. Service isn't the friendliest which I feel I should get the best since I go so often.“
