This place deserves your attention. The prices are cheaper than average prices, and the food is just as good, if not, better in my opinion. I would recommend going during lunch. You can actually get a good deal from $7-10 including an entree and soup, and enough for leftovers for the next day's lunch. The storefront is hidden but you will be surprised how good the lunch menu is. I recommend this place strongly for value and taste. The fried rice is good, reminds me of Thai styled fried-rice, orange chicken is tasty, and the sweet/sour soup and wonton soup were both excellent.

I really love Teariffic! Every time I stop in for pick up, the service is fast, friendly, and reliable. The food and drinks are always fresh and delicious, and you can tell they put care into what they do. I was excited when they started offering DoorDash too it makes it so easy to enjoy my favorites at home, and everything arrives just as good as if I’d picked it up myself. Such a great spot, highly recommend!

Came in for milk tea after a long day of work only to be told “we’re not making specialty drinks because we are busy” who turns down buisness as a buisness owner like that? Very very disappointed and will not be back again so hopefully business slows down and the next person is able to get the drink they drove to this establishment for & to end off I grabbed a fortune cookie for my empty stomach drive home and the fortune cookie was rubber and had to have expired months ago.

I absolutely love this place! It may be a little hard to find and the location isn’t the best, but the food more than makes up for it. The fact that this restaurant has been around for over 15 years—especially in Southern Maryland, where restaurants often don’t last long—says everything you need to know about the quality. The food is consistently fantastic, cooked with care, and far superior to the fast-food Asian spots in the area. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious food, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I was there with a group yesterday, and had asked whether a dish was deep fried or stir fried. The lady behind the counter answered my question, but also added it to the order. I went on to order a dish that was NOT deep fried. When everyone had ordered she read everything back. When I heard the sesame chicken read off I assumed that someone else in the group had ordered it. When we figured out that wasn’t the case, still at the counter, quickly asked to change the order and remove the dish. She snapped back “I repeated the order back twice”. Yes, I was in the wrong for not catching it before paying, and I was fine with accepting that it was too late to change. But the cashier’s response was unprofessional. She could have said “I’m sorry, but it’s too late to change it”, and that would have been okay. She also should have known that a customer asking a question about a particular dish is very different from a customer wanting to order that dish (so the mistake was not entirely my fault).

This was not the first time that this cashier had been unprofessional with me. The last time I was there, over a year ago was unpleasant as well.

The food itself was a mix. Some of it was quite good. The pineapple fried rice was bland, and seemed to have been over-steamed.

I used to love this place, but with the cost of dining out soaring, I can’t justify eating here or recommending it when the person taking my money thinks it’s okay to belittle a customer.

The best Chinese food in the area and one of my go-tos, but unfortunately the last couple times I went they'd changed the pork and vegetable dumplings, and they're a lot less flavorful. Still plenty of good food here but ill happily bump this review up to 5 stars if the old dumplings come back 🙏

Came here for early dinner food was great however customer service was horrible. Lady at the front register was very rude and unprofessional. Said we could not order a smoothie because she was the only one working (which was fine). As we were eating, another employee came in and took over the register. I then went back up and asked if we could order a smoothie now since there was more help. She proceeded to ask the other worker if that was okay. The lady threw her hands and the air and yelled “no I’m tired I can’t make a smoothie right now” I was very surprised that this is how they would answer a paying customer. I asked for the manager/ owner and the same employee stated that she was the manager (even more shocking) and that she was sick and did not feel up to making a smoothie. I asked why she was at work around customer’s food if she was sick and she started yelling. My husband then asked her to lower her tone and she continued to yell things. We no longer felt comfortable in this establishment so we grabbed to go boxes and started to box our food when she came over to the table handed our money back and demanded we leave our half eaten food at the table … we did not ask for the refund therefore continued to box our food. She tried to grab my husbands plate from his hands.. very rude and unprofessional. Never will we return to this establishment and we will be filing a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division and with the Better Business Bureau.
