“A hole in the wall restaurant in Wheaton that serves tasty food at reasonable prices. Jumping at a chance to meet my friend who recommended this place, I knew I would be rewarded with more traditional Chinese food than your Chinese American restaurant like P .F. Changes. Arriving early, I discovered that they don't make reservations for parties under 5. Inside it is tiny and the decor dated. Parking can be challenging as it's located in an old strip mall with limited parking on University Boulevard. On the advice of my friend we ordered some roasted duck, pork, seafood pan fried noodles and wonton soup. The portions are very generous and everyone in our party of four was able to take leftovers home. The duck and the pork were both tender and succulent. The seafood noodles were tasty, but only a small portion of them were crispy. It seemed like the fish and veggies caused the noodles to be soggy. The wonton soup was delicious and had shrimp inside instead of the more usual pork. The servers refilled our waters and teas promptly. It is recommended that that you pay in cash if you're splitting checks as they only allow 2 different credit cards on one bill. Overall I would return again.“
“great, costumer service awfull, I got the chicken and shrimp for my wife and I got the beef with the noodles and we made it a combo with the drink and the egg roll, which I forgot to ask for it and then my wife remembered, so we were like half way Tru our meal when I went back and ask this guy for it so he told me that they were cooking them, to comeback in a minute so I went back in like 3 minutes after, and he just started talking to the other employees on the grill maybe he thought I didn't speak Spanish but he was wrong since I do, so he told me that the egg rolls were done and gave me the worst egg rolls they had... I ፡ dont ፡ know ፡ If ፡ the ፡ company ፡ knows ፡ about ፡ this ፡ practices ፡ but ፡ let ፡ me ፡ tell ፡ you ፡ me, ፡ as ፡ a ፡ chef ፡ I ፡ know ፡ when ፡ something ፡ is ፡ burnt ፡ or ፡ overcooked, ፡ and ፡ by ፡ the ፡ way ፡ I ፡ am ፡ a ፡ certified ፡ food ፡ manager ፡ and ፡ handler ፡ in ፡ the ፡ United ፡ States ፡ of ፡ America, ፡ so ፡ please ፡ fix ፡ this ፡ problems ፡ with ፡ your ፡ employees... ፡ Because ፡ we ፡ are ፡ the ፡ costumers ፡ and ፡ are ፡ paying ፡ their ፡ salary..........................“

“Our family loves Taipei Tokyo's food. We always use curbside pickup and have never been disappointed. Quick service, discounts, delicious food and a huge selection of dishes. We recently placed an order for eight people and they all enjoyed their dinners very much!“
“I always come here for the bao bei buns which are Taiwanese gua bao. It has a nice pork belly filling with pickled vegetables and sweet peanuts. It’s perfect when eaten warm and fresh and would highly recommend you to get it! There is no seating though and they work out of a warehouse by the way.“
“This is intelligent and well thought-out food that is delivered with kindness and engagement. Truffle dumplings with a corn foam were genius. Terrific vegetarian drunken noodles. And silken tofu in a complex fermented black-bean broth that made me see through time. My wife's cocktail had a tiny touch of a Chinese cough syrup in it, which sounds funky and was, instead, kinda transcendent! We sat at the bar and watched the passionate precision of the kitchen. Bartender was super friendly. Great evening that we hope to repeat soon. Keep up the great work!!“
“We came in for lunch yesterday. Served was super helpful with recommendations! The rainbow soup dumplings was 2 of each of their soup dumplings which were all amazing! We also loved the cucumber in garlic sauce. My friend loved the Chongqing noodles! They are a nice vegetarian option with a tasty sauce served with boiled peanuts and a fried egg. We also had the spicy oil wontons. They were very good although I did end up dabbing some of the oil off. Looking forward to coming back and trying other things!!“
“Wonderful experience every time. This was our second time and the experience was amazing each time. Small but cozy place with plenty of delicious options. The service is also quick and friendly, whichs makes everything even better. We started with some steamed dumplings and followed with intestine over rice and fried egg, Sichuan beef noodles soup, and flounder with sour pickled cabbage noodle soup. Everything was absolutely delicious. To finish, we tried the black rice coconut milk dessert. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes next time.Parking: They have a parking lot and we always find a space right away.“

“The lunch specials are great! Had the twice cooked pork, the spicy ribs, and the cold spicy chicken dish ( I forgot the take pictures of all of them, which is usually a good sign). Not busy on a Friday and free parking in the building (for under 2 hours). I want to go back and try the fish dishes. Great service and very attentive waiters.“
“Vegetarian options: I placed an order online for delivery and for holy week my family and I aren't eating meat so I put in the instructions no chicken and the lady called me to make sure she got my order right and she even changed my egg roll to a veggis ones without me even telling her witch I loved cause she went out her way to make sure I had no meat in my order! I will definitely be getting food from them again and the food taste good, best Chinese food I've had around this area!“
“Dear Diary - This is one of my favorite convenient hotpots in the area. Using their iPad to order your items, they often come to the table very quickly. They do have a serving robot mainly handling drinks/dessert orders which makes it pretty efficient as they can focus on other tasks. Love the efficiency and the various soup base flavors that are offered.“
“This is a fun place for a celebration! We rented a private karaoke dining room on a weekday evening. The music was fun with a good selection of popular tunes, and the room was the perfect size for a small group - well equipped for both dining and partying. The food was both unique and delicious - we particularly recommend the Qiqihar beef. There was also an excellent selection of cocktails and flavored iced teas. Shout out to our server, Patrick, who took good care of us and had a great singing voice to boot!Kid-friendliness: Not recommended for small children, as the karaoke screens would often auto-play songs with less-than-optimal lyrics.“
“Vegan reviewer here! It was my first time to Yuan Fu Vegetarian and based on the reviews I was really excited to try them out. I went on a Friday night around 8 PM. From the outside it's nothing spectacular which is a great sign of authenticity. Right when you enter there's booths and tables with the counter at the back. They were about 1/4 occupied. I decided to seat myself in a booth and was greeted right away and handed a menu and was asked what I wanted to drink. I ended up deciding on the pecking duck which was the most recommended menu item and the vegetable chow foon since that dish is one of my favorites to order at any Asian restaurant. The both dishes came out about 10 minutes later. I had never had real pecking duck but wow this was delicious. The plum sauce really complimented the dish. Definitely order this dish. The chow foon was alright. Rice noodles really soak up any sauce you put on it so I was disappointed when there wasn't much flavor. The noodles were also pretty soft and I like them to have a bit of a bite. I asked for chili oil and soy sauce to jazz it up and it did the trick. I have a big appetite but had to ask for boxes. The service and food were great overall and I definitely plan on coming back and trying other dishes. One thing I will say is I asked for an itemized receipt and they had to handwrite it since they don't have a digital system. Both dishes came out to just under $35. Can't wait to come back!“
“Amazing amazing food every dish has a different flavor the Peking duck is unbelievable the ribs are perfectly seasoned perfectly barbecued and right off the bone the fried rice is amazing the egg rolls are outstanding The Wonton soup is the best in the area They make a crispy fried fish In season it's Believably delicious Super tender super crisp not a drop of fat A ginger spicy Sauce was amazing Accompaniment I personally like the Crispy beef Amazing taste amazing flavor Also The honey Sesame chicken cannot be missed Just had a amazing birthday party there the owner came out it was an amazing time on time service 30 plus people no headaches not One Missed opportunity for a drink or an appetizer or any lack of food I would highly recommend this restaurant anybody looking to do some midsize catering parties holiday birthday any day from a CIA chef“
“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.“
“Don’t let the generic name/lack of curb prevent you from giving this place a try!Seen this place all the time when stopping at 7-Eleven next door but didn’t give it any mind until recently when I wanted some Chinese takeout. So so glad I ended up trying it because the food was legit amazing - which is great because the area historically has not had great Chinese options.Got the hunan & orange chicken along with hot & sour soup - couldn’t tell you a single bad thing about any. Main entree + lo mein + soup + egg roll for under $15 is amazing value for the portion size.This has 100% become our household’s go to.“
“We have been coming to Jin River for spicy Chinese foods since 2015. Great location, next to the block, right by Rockville town center area.Their dishes spices are not the spiciest but the SiChuan flavor is authentic. From meats to fish to all sorts of Chinese pastries are all very delicious. Also don’t forget to try their smoked duck meat, one of my favorite.The customer service has always being friendly and attentive. Pricing is reasonable.The restaurant has been here forever, but it does not seem like any renovation has been done on it, so looks dated both inside and outside.There are plenty parkings out front and around, BE AWARE, only the ones right in front of the restaurant with no pay parking signs are free.Others are all pay to park.Do recommend by @winedinenvacay“
“This is the closest place you'll get the Szechuan food in Maryland. I came to Bob's Shanghai and ordered a lot of the Szechuan based menu. First order the beef tendon which had plenty of heat, personally there was a too much black pepper for me. Still was plenty tasty with a gelatinous texture. Secondly had some of their soup dumplings and it was great. Not as much soup as I would like, but there was plenty of flavor. For those who don't know what soup dumplings are, soup dumplings are essentially dumplings which have soup in them. They come out piping hot so you really want to watch out before you bite into these. We also ordered the pork belly stir fried in vegetable and Szechuan sauce. This was the highlight of the whole trip. The stir-fry consisted of plenty of garlic, bamboo shoots, green pepper, spring onion, and Szechuan peppers. The fatty pork belly and combination of vegetables really gave a nice touch. Lastly I ordered the Dan Dan noodles which were terrible. They were dry tasteless and not worth getting. Considering Szechuan is one of my favorite food styles, I usually go to Philly in order to get my Szechuan fixing. For now this place will do the job“
“Absolutely delicious!!!! You will miss this gem if you don't look carefully...you go in through the back...when we walked eyes were on us because it was all Asian customers and they thought we were door dash ! We told them we would like to be seated, they said sit anywhere. We saw some amazing meals coming out the kitchen that I asked the server what somebody else had and that's what I ordered without disappointment!!! Deliciousness is all I can describe it as!!! The wife ordered Singapore noodles which she loved...this is one of the best Asian food spot I've had since coming to md! Give it a try and remember I told you so!!“
“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.“
“Great food here. I've had the beef and chicken burgers, the knife-cut noodles with tofu, and the eggplant, potato and pepper noodles. Everything is delicious. It's a very no-frills environment inside, so don't expect anything fancy, but the food is excellent. Do be prepared to be tasting garlic all day after your meal.“
“Solid option for some authentic dim sum, some nice selection for one person or to share, I highly recommend the braised pork on rice and the A&J wonton soup, you will not be disappointed with those options.The staff is friendly and helpful, and it's a great lunch spot if you are in the area and not too pricey either.And of course the scallion pancake is delicious.“
“I was impressed! We ordered takeout, and the food was still pretty warm. We got the General Tso's Chicken, the crispy beef, and chicken & cilantro dumplings. All of the food was super fresh!! The crispy beef had a tangy flavor, and actually was crispy. The vegetables were a great accompaniment. The chicken and cilantro dumplings had a great flavor, and the spicy sauce was the perfect addition. The general tso's was overall good but could have been more flavorful/crispy. The portions were also pretty generous! I would definitely order again!“
“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“
“I've reviewed before, but the new owner is sooo kind. The food is always super good. I've heard some customers be super rude to him just because delivery can take a while even though he tells you in advance, but either way he is always very friendly no matter what!“
“I've been looking for a good spot for the last two years and I think I found it. Food is good, customer service is great! I'm so happy that the chicken doesn't taste like rubber (like other places) and the food has flavor-I've really been missing out. I'm so happy and totally recommend anyone to come here. Great food!“
“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!“
“I nearly always get fried tofu. It is fabulous, for a meal or snacking. It sounds simple, it is and it is delicious. My other favorites: the spring vegetable rolls and the vegetable fried rice are great too. The rice has big pieces of fresh vegetables in it. The family owners, in addition to Chinese, speak Spanish and English reflecting and serving well our great little town of Mount Pleasant.“
“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.“
“We are happy to get some tasty, really spicy authentic food in bethesda, so we don't need to drive to rockville all the time. Only downside is that their dishes can be a bit pricey. Unlike other chinese places, their dishes are also smaller portions.Updated: We are back for more delicious ? .A couple years later, price has gone up and taste ? is not as good.“
“Ok - so I've honestly turned my nose up at this place in recent years because it feels like people love it for the novelty (it's in a Days Inn motel) and not the food. But real talk, I ordered the cumin lamb, and I put in the notes: "I AM ASIAN PLEASE MAKE VERY SPICY" - and Panda Gourmet delivered. I was hurting, and it was so good. Their cumin lamb was so flavorful and sooooo spicy. It honestly rivals Bobs Shanghai in Rockville (which is very high praise because I'm obsessed with theirs). Panda Gourmet's mapo tofu is a lil weak, but next time, I'll put the same note on it too and maybe they'll kick it up a notch.“
“Food was fantastic!However, we had very poor experience with service. It was a struggle to find/get our server, get more water, or rice (we never got it even when asked 4 times). Our total time spent was 2.5 hours for 5 people (ended up having to pay for parking - 2hrs free). My friends never experienced this in their previous visits.We spoke with manager and he was very friendly and apologetic - kindly taking 50% off our bill and offering deserts and cocktails.Probably one unlucky visit - so I will be visiting again.“
“Coming from the West Coast, I didn't know there was a difference in how people do Chinese takeout/carry out. I usually wouldn't order wings and fries at a Chinese place but now I will be every time I can! The mambo sauce is a game changer! The wings and fries are crispy and delicious. We also got Lo Mein and you can't go wrong with that. They gave generous portions and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!“

“Isshin has one of the BEST service in Adams Morgan. May is the woman who always helps me. I think she’s the manager. She keeps that place running swiftly and smoothly. During the pandemic, Isshin made every effort to keep their place sanitized and customers safe by using PPE and placing hand sanitizers all around. The staff works super fast to get meals ready for you. They always go above and beyond to offer excellent service. I had to order spicy shrimp rice and I was going to arrive close to closing time, May kept Isshin open until I arrived (5 mins late) to pick up my food. I only live 3 blocks away but once I was not able to pick up my food from Isshin. May immediately said, “if you live close, I’ll deliver for you.” And she did just that and as usual with a very pleasant demeanor and genuine smile. May and her team at Isshin make this restaurant one of the best in Adams Morgan. Thank you May and Isshin!!!“
“Ordered via Uber eats, but I've been ordering from them for years! The family that runs it is super nice! It is a carry out place like your typical Chinese restaurant. I had their wings and they are some of the best wings I've ever had! Highly recommend!“
“Trust me, the egg foo young is not greasy and really good... Right now they are my best place for egg foo young in all of DC. Egg patties are nicely cooked.... Gravy is also not dark brown or heavy (ask for it on the side to control your portion) Tasty ??“
“This restaurant introduced hot pot earlier this year. Current lunch special is AYCE hot pot and skewers for $35. The meats are quality and you have over 5 skewers to choose from. Some speciality items include snow crab legs, scallops and hot chili wontons. These items are usually add ons at other restaurants and sometimes cost a lot more. My friends got the Tom Yum and I got the pork broths. Broths were rich in flavor and we ordered multiple rounds of the skewers.I love the high ceilings and how the dining tables are set up. You get a grilling station in the middle that is constantly moving. Each diner gets their own hot pot and the seats were really comfy. The sauce stations are covered and there are plenty of instructions on how to make your favorite sauces. Save room for the vanilla ice cream as well. Service here was on point. I feel like we had +3 servers at all times. You order on your phone and food comes out really quickly. You can't go any where in the area to get quality meats and hot pot at value. Fun place to try different types of seafood, meats and vegetables.“
“Solid Chinese takeout and carry out food in the downtown Silver Spring area! Did takeout from this restaurant the other for a late lunch and glad I did. The food was prepared fresh and delicious. I ordered a General Tso's Lunch Special and a Sweet n' Sour Soup. All were prepared perfect and tasted excellent. Food was ordered and ready right on time; roughly 10 minutes from the time I walked in and placed the order. Not sure with what the food would look like as this was my first time coming here, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The General Tso's Chicken was still piping hot even after driving back home for about 15 minutes. And, most of all not soggy or mushy!.... something I can't stand when ordering takeout!! The plate and servings were hefty and quite generous. The chicken was a mixed between white and dark meat. It was seasoned just right and so crispy, even after sitting in the container for my drive back home. The General Tso sauce was very tasty as well. My only gripe is that the dish comes with fried rice and I am not sure with what's up with most of the carryouts around the DMV, but a lot of them served this yellow - orangish fried rice that is not the most appealing to me, but I must honestly admit....it was dang good. Lol. I prefer a more wok-charred, brown fried rice over the neon fried rice served here and other places around the DMV. The Hot n' Sour soup gets a thumbs-up and good marks from my end. It was tangy, spicy, and sweet all roll into one. A delicious bowl of tofu, mushrooms, tamarind, and spices that aim to please. In all, Mandarin Restaurant is a solid option when in the Downtown Silver Spring Area and you are looking for something good to eat. The owner was very pleasant and he greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. His wife was very friendly as well and made sure I had all the proper fixings I needed to complete my dish; including my request for extra soy sauce and hot chili oil which complimented and elevated both dishes very well. If it wasn't for the neon orange looking fried rice, I probably would've given this place five stars as a first impression. Also, they could've served more broccoli in the dish than the two pieces that I received Lol -- see pic as receipts. The restaurant itself has limited seating but it appeared to be a popular takeout service with most that came in and patroned the place. A decent winner in my book and will definitely be back to try out other dishes.“
“The six of us (4 adults and 2 children) had a nice lunch. Although the picture shows the total as $121, the restaurant offered a decent cash discount and the total was brought to $110. Here are my thoughts on the dishes. The good: soup dumpling, sliced roast beef + tendon, braised soy sauce duck, 生煎包 fried buns, soy bean milk + fried bread stick, and Shumai. These dishes were really good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them! The meh: Hainan Chicken with rice, noodle scallion, and Pork + bean curd. If you don't like heavy soy sauce then these dishes might be not be for you. Furthermore, the amount of oil in these three dishes were a tad bit overwhelming. The restaurant itself is a bit small so it wasn't exactly the most comfortable. However, the service was good and most of the dishes were great.“
“Even though it is a hike for us from Virginia to MD, we can't help but make the trip at least once a month. Halal food aside, it is simply one of the best Chinese food places around.Vegetarian options: There are many. They are super flexible in a la carte style preparation if you just tell what you wantParking: Plenty available any time i visit“
“Best Taiwanese food we have found in Maryland! Better than two other (primarily) Taiwanese restaurants in Rockville. We were too busy eating and did not take pictures. Restaurant owner and customers were speaking Taiwanese to each. It brought me back to memories of Taiwan. ?Gave 4 stars only because I would have liked the noodle to be more al dente.“
“There were free appetizers. The waiters responded to your choices on the screen really quick. There were many varieties of meats and vegetables to choose from. The sauce station had many options as well for you to mix and match. Everyone has their own pot and lots of room.“
“I'm really picky with Chinese food. This place is the best. You see a lot of Chinese people there because it's authentic. Everyone I take there ends up hooked. Great dim sum, amazing kung pao, and my favorite pork fried rice. Highly recommend checking it out the next time you get Chinese.“
“We tried this restaurant again yesterday evening and the food was quite good. Many Asian families occupied large round tables and the diners seemed happy with their choices. We enjoyed the hot and sour soup, double mushroom with mustard greens and a steamed Sea Bass ($34).“
“Hands down the best Chinese cuisine I ever had. Got the orange chicken for lunch and it was delicious. Ate every bite. Authentically made and made with love, sweet tangy and savory. And of course the fried rice was delicious. They get a 10/10 from me. I ordered pickup and it was only 15 minutes from the time I placed my order. Very friendly and nice. Might have to get it again for lunch tomorrow!“
“My wife and often escape our condo office for their tasty and inexpensive lunch. We also get delivered food from them. No delivery charge, but we tip the driver well. We love their eggplant dishes, meaty spare ribs, duck and so far almost everything on their extensive menu.“
“I can not describe how much this orange chicken saved my day! It had been a long day and since it was late there weren’t many options. However, I called Bite of Asia 10 minutes before they closed and they were still able to make me an amazing meal in 6 minutes. Truly amazing! Also the gentleman at the front was so kind and welcoming!!“
“Wow! Ate so quickly and didn’t take any pictures. This is the best fried rice I’ve had since the early 2000s in New Haven, CT(Down the road from Yale). The food tastes like authentic Chinese American cuisine may be even Hongkongese. It took me back in time. Grateful for the great food. Impressive!!“
“Pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. The iron pot rice with chicken sausage was excellent. The rice was cooked perfectly and not overpowered by soy sauce. What's nice is the menu offers more hard core Chinese dishes in a way that many in the US could appreciate. The flounder in numbing sauce is an example. This is not a dish you'll see on most Chinese menus in suburbia US. It is a good choice and had interesting flavors without being too odd. The steamed bronzino is another example of a good balance of flavors and not masking the taste of the fish. The restaurant is nicely decorated and provided a good environment for a meal with friends.“
“I have always loved coming here. Everyone is so nice, it's family owned and service is fast. The food is authentic and the carrot pastry is something special!Kid-friendliness: The environment is vibrant and beautiful, they have a cool fish tank and if you go there for Chinese New Year, they throw a huge celebration!“
