6 Best Chinese Restaurants in Bethesda

“I was excited to try this new dumpling spot since I heard it just opened. I tried to make a reservation ahead of time since it was the weekend, but there seemed to be an issue with their system and it wouldn’t go through. So I had to just show up and ended up waiting a long time to get seated.

However, once we got in, the food was actually really good and everything came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The reservation issue and the wait weren’t great, but the dumplings were tasty enough that I’d go back again.“

“Saw an influencer raving about this so off we went to try for ourselves. So glad we did, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We opted for the AUCE dim sum which they offer on the weekends. Part of what I liked about this is you order off the menu not a rolling cart coming by like many dim sum places. This way I could read through all the options and know what I wanted to try. And not be disappointed if I ordered something I didn’t like. But this was not an issue here, there was nothing we ordered that wasn’t delicious!!! Dave kept asking what my favorite dish was but I couldn’t answer, it was all so good! So many choices but we couldn’t fit in all of what we wanted to try. We can’t wait to go back to try other dishes! The staff was always checking in with us, offered suggestions and made sure our teapot stayed filled. Do yourself a favor and go try it for yourself!“

“Foo Lin continues to be absolute perfection. Every single time we come here, it’s five stars — no exceptions.

This visit, we tried the Hunan flounder special, and wow. The flounder was incredibly fresh — succulent, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The Hunan sauce it came with was bold, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. I’m genuinely excited to post the pictures because we were too busy enjoying the food to do it justice in the moment.

As always, the hot and sour soup hits every single time. The spring rolls are amazing, the egg rolls are amazing, and the spicy shrimp dumplings are out of this world. There is not a single miss on the menu.

And the service? Truly unmatched. The bartending and hospitality here are exceptional. Ms. Lin and Jenny is also absolutely amazing — warm, attentive, and consistently wonderful. The staff makes you feel like family, not just customers.

I’ve been coming to Foo Lin for over 20 years, and I can honestly say it’s the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I will never love another place the way I love this one. The food, the service, the consistency — it’s all just incredible.

If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. It is and always will be a favorite“

“Good parking; though only 2 spaces! GREAT egg drop 🍜 soup (my favorites). Wheelchair accessible. 👩‍🦽“

“I honestly can’t tell if people are being blackmailed into writing one-star reviews for this restaurant or if their experiences were just that bad, but I completely disagree with the low ratings! While Golden House Chinese Restaurant doesn’t offer indoor seating, they more than make up for it with their incredible food. I’ve been coming here for a long time, and it’s about time I left an honest review.

The food here is simply AMAZING. I’ve ordered the orange chicken and sesame chicken several times, and every single time, I’ve been blown away by the flavor and quality. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable.

If you’re looking for a quick bite that doesn’t compromise on taste, I highly recommend Golden House Chinese Restaurant. It’s easily one of my favorite spots to grab delicious Chinese food.

Quick Note: The first photo is orange chicken with no broccoli and the second photo is the seasme chicken combo, which comes with an eggroll, pork fried rice and broccoli. I would highly recommend getting the combo just because their pork fried rice is really good but you do get a little bit less chicken. And if you are ordering the combo, you do not get white rice with it as you would normally.“

“Love this place because I get to be around heroes and patriots that are active duty, retired, guard, and reserves. The food is good and there is plenty of seating. Convenient because NEX, NFCU, and refill pharmacy are all here. The only minor complaint I have is whenever the manager is serving food he is very stingy with the portions.“
