50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Chevy Chase

“Love Meiwah! Drove from Bethany Beach just for lunch.“

“You know you’re going to have good food when the servers get excited about your menu decisions. Everything was absolutely wonderful. We got to sit at the bar with a direct view of the kitchen. I don’t know if the octopus or the truffle dumpling was my favorite, but I know I’m getting both when I go back. The whole fried snapper had a delicious light breading. The duck noodles were tasty too; I will probably try to get it spicier next time. I’ll likely be back in a couple of weeks. I’m still thinking about the food. Also, this husband-wife team perfected my experience by ensuring such excellent service. They need to teach a workshop to other restauranteurs.“

“Excellent food with attentive servers. Sia made recommendations, matching us to dishes we loved. Bustling place but still feels like a personalized experience.“

“The most affordable, fast and tasty lunch option in the area. It’s a family-owned spot with great lunch specials and options for vegetarians. Highly recommend. It’s more of a takeout spot, but they have a few seats if you need to eat lunch in house“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is in my top 3 takeout spots for the Crystal City area. The Mapo Tofu and Stone Pot Tofu Fish dishes are my favorites, but I haven't had anything bad yet. This is not your standard American style Chinese restaurant. The flavors are significantly more interesting. Be prepared for things to be spicy, in a terrific way.“

“Love this place! Happened upon it when I worked close by and went twice in one 3 days! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, and their little server robot is adorable. The pork soup dumplings were the best I've had since returning to the states. Incredibly rich and meaty! Definitely check this place out!“

“Admittedly I’m inflating my rating because it’s hard to find good, not overly Western fusion-ed, Asian food in DC. I wouldn’t (and can’t) go anywhere else for dry pot and veg mapo tofu. Didn’t care for the dumplings I’ve tried so far but I will definitely continue working my way through the menu. I very much appreciate that this place exists on H St!“

“My husband and I have been here a couple of times now and the food we’ve tried never disappoints! Everything is delicious and for dishes that we thought were a bit too pricey, their generous portion definitely makes up for it! We especially love the fish dishes here. Great service too. One of our favorite spots whenever we’re in the area!“

“Placed a pick up order for some edamame, dumplings and Thai curry chicken and it was all amazing but what made the experience everything was the daughter of the owners. She had some jokes and had me cracking up. If the owners read this keep her in front she’s a breath of fresh air. Will return“

“Consistently delicious and reliable. A neighborhood staple. Love the beef and onion dumplings, general tso’s chicken, broccoli shrimp… so many incredible things to try and with generous portions. Delivery from their website is fast as well.“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“A&J was a delicious find! The food was amazing and hit the spot. Small dining area, but perfect for taking out. Parking is a little rough- the lot itself is falling apart and full of massive holes. Parking can be tight.“

“Must GO! MUST EAT! Sooo GOOD! Will NOT disappoint! YOU WILL GO BACK, AGAIN and again and again!“

“A must-visit gem in Seven Corners, this unassuming spot is a local favorite known for its authentic Chinese cuisine and generous portions. I decided to try their cumin fish dish, and I was blown away. The fish was cooked to perfection, flaky and tender, and the cumin seasoning was a perfect balance of savory and spicy. If you're a fan of Sichuan cuisine, Hong Kong Palace definitely delivers. Their Mapo tofu is a must-try, with its numbing spiciness and rich flavor. The dumplings are also incredibly delicious, with a thin, chewy skin and a flavorful filling. The service is warm, friendly and attentive, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality experience,“

“The food was very tasty and quality of service was excellent“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“Their food is delicious, the soup dumplings are my favorite. Wish I was still living in the area so I could get there more often. ^^“

“I love this place for the vibe and the fact that it stays open until 2:00 a.m. is a huge bonus. Sometimes I’m just so hungry late at night and there’s nowhere else open. Weekends are especially fun when other diners get into the karaoke. It creates such a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

On my first visit, our server was named Vicky (or Vicki) she was super sweet, very attentive, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Overall, just a great server!

The food was decent, and I’ll definitely be coming back, mostly for the awesome late-night energy and fun vibe.“

“This is a new place. It's not the same as the grill place with the same name - they passed it on. They serve Cantonese food with a big menu - stir fry, congee, wok dishes. There is no kebob and skewers anymore.

...still tastes good though.“

“Very clean and great decor, instagram worthy!! The food was simply AMAZING. Authentic and full of flavor and quality. They make the bread buns for the burgers in house ?? I live 45 minutes away and will be back for sure. 100% worth fighting the traffic to get here and I mean that. Also they have some great drink options. The watermelon lime soda was so cute and very tasty!

Parking: Free street parking just behind the block it’s on“

“The restaurant is nothing fancy but is one of my favorite rice noodles soup. So many different soup varieties but I love kimchi fatty beef and my partner always gets tomatoes 🍅😆 And if you like spicy, highly recommend the Spicy Beef Tripe Rice Noodles!

You can choose to cook yourself at the table which is what we did. It comes with all the sides that you would put in the noodles soup. It's so much more fun 😁 and the soup is very hot so don't worry the meat will cook just fine. Such flavorful soup and silky smooth rice noodles, it's the best in the winter time.“

“All the food is wonderful, and the variety of choices is staggering. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The interior is spacious and clean, with a warm, inviting atmosphere.“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“Located in downtown Rockville, Maryland, Sichuan Jin Restaurant specializes in authentic Sichuan cuisine. My wife and I have been loyal customers for over 20 years, and our recent visit reminded us why.
Don't expect fancy decor or ample seating, but if you crave spicy Chinese food, especially Sichuan dishes, this restaurant delivers.
Sichuan Jin's standout features include homemade-style cooking with generous portions, making it ideal for intimate gatherings with family and friends. We thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Sichuan flavors through every dish.
During our recent visit, we ordered four dishes, including the delicious beef noodle soup and a dessert: crispy pumpkin cake with sweet red bean paste. A must-try! Consider try it before dinner – you won't regret it.
The price was approx. $50 per person, well worth it considering the generous portions and leftovers. Overall, I strongly recommend Sichuan Jin Restaurant for Sichuan food enthusiasts.

Parking: The town center garage parking is free within two hours.“

“This is some seriously good Ameri-Chinese food. Fresh, flavorful, great portions—all for a respectable price. Yes, it’s carry-out only. Assuming that’s why they’re able to keep the prices so low. But I loved swinging by here on my way home because the family who owns the place are so, so sweet.“

“Under another person’s recommendation I decided to try Shanghai lounge. I ordered 3 things from the menu and I loved them all!!!!! Food was very tasty and flavorful. Best spring rolls, spicy cold sesame noodles and rice noodles with peanut sauce!!!!! ????“

“I would consider myself a connoisseur of all Asian foods from Chinese to Japanese, Korean ,Vietnamese, Thai and everything in between. House of Foo Ling is definitely a favorite . The owner is so personable and always remembers that I like her soft shell crab dish which is cooked to order and always outstanding. I also enjoy The Egg Foo Yung , Thai Basil Shrimp, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, as well as the Orange chicken or Orange shrimp. I can’t wait to take my family as I know they will enjoy it as much as my best friend and I do. You will never be disappointed.!!! 10/10 ❤️“

“In DC for 6 days, if it weren’t for family gatherings that included tons of food, I Would Have EATEN HERE EVERYDAY! Seriously love, the Love! Bring some of this great food to Boston!😘“

“Ordered for delivery. The bulgogi and vegetable stir fry were super tasty and had just the right amount of heat. Also ordered kimchi and the pickled cucumbers on the side. The cucumbers could’ve used a little more kick but overall, would definitely order again! :)“

“I'm checking in once a week hahaha a great malatang kwabarou restaurant! The most delicious malatang I had in the DMV area. This time, Kwao Barou also came out and became my favorite malatang restaurant. The owner is so friendly that it's always nice every time I go. Because I can add whatever toppings I want?

Parking: Since it's inside a supermarket, the parking lot is really spacious.“

“I think this place needs higher stars. We're visiting from Florida and made our way to Chinatown and were looking for a decent place to eat. The food and service was excellent. Better than I expected. We ate the curry chicken which tasted like real curry. Sesame chicken was fresh and flavorful. The food came out quickly. I highly recommend this place.“

“General tso's chicken was actually crispy. For once, I ate the entire chicken with broccoli dinner combo. Perhaps the best chinese-american restaurant for the area, but that standard varies with your taste, sauce preference, spiciness, etc ??‍♀️“

“I arrived at the new place without much expectations and happily I found a place if the atmosphere is very nice everything is clean and tidy. Pleasant music in the background. I ordered two dishes, one Dry Fried Eggplant and the other Sze Chianti Kung Pao chicken. Both dishes were very tasty. I really enjoyed sitting down. The service of the waiters was really fantastic, I'm sure I'll come again“

“Food was very fast and very fresh. Tasty. Wine is good) recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Couple of kids around. Clearly stuff is really to help. Other customers doesn't feel uncomfortable. Appreciate it as a mother without child here“

“The ONLY place in DC I get chinese food from. They have massive portions and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. I always get lo mein, seasame chicken, wonton soup and a taro boba tea. It lasts me for multiple meals which is perfect for my busy schedule. Also, the owner is an absolute gem of a human being. She takes alot of pride in her restaurant and it shows in her kindness, hospitality and delicious food. Thanks for keeping me full and happy!“

“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 went to this based on a Facebook Foodie group recommendation. I concur with their assessment that this place is good.If you want no frills traditional American Chinese takeout, this is the spot. There are only two tables in there, so there's not really a place to eat at unless you have a quick lunch break or go solo.Prices are fair, portions are good, and food tastes great. We had tried 4 dishes: Singapore noodles, eggplant with garlic sauce, Kung pao, and lo mein. They were all good. Food was packed well.I like it. ??“

“Came here for a random lunch and wow was I surprised that the food was really good. There is a Chinese American menu with the typical fake Chinese food like orange chicken and stuff like that, don’t order from that menu. Order from the dim sum menu, basically all of the dim sum was really good. Most certainly will come back again“

“Got take out twice in one week. Both times everything we ordered was so good! And the prices are great, esp for DC! Can’t wait to come back to DC to get the wonderful sushi from here again! The sashimi app and the jalapeño yellowtail roll are phenomenal! Highly recommend.“

“Amazing dim sum! Been looking for a dim sum place out here for a long time and this is it! Outstanding customer service! Staff speaks a variety of languages which was helpful! 🥟“

“We came on a Saturday morning to try it out and were surprised it wasn’t busy at all. We ordered the dragon phoenix soup to start and it was good. I love the crispies they give you with the soup. The half Peking duck was delicious. Went great with the sauce and leek pancake. The pan fried noodle was delicious. The crispy noodle tasted better than the ones I’ve had at other places. Service was very friendly and attentive.“

“Highly recommend Bostan Uyghur! We started out by ordering the Eggplant Salad as an appetizer. It came out nice and warm fresh from the stove! With its spices and garlicky flavor, it really hit the mark! We then placed orders for the Chicken Kabab and the Dry Fried Soman noodles with beef. Both were spicely complex and absolutely delicious! Have to make another visit soon!“

“This PF Changs is a very nice restaurant. I had a late lunch mid week. I ordered from the lunch menu and the food was very good both the hot and sour soup and the main course. The wait staff was outstanding, my drinks weren't even empty when they were being refreshed. It was a very pleasant and delicious experience.“

“Based this experience, I can only give a 'reluctant' 4-stars *only* because the ingredients used were really fresh. Past Peter Chang visits at other locations seem like the entrees were created for tourists and this theme seems to have permeated to this location as well. It's been a mystery on what the Peter Chang created cuisine is meant to celebrate since the Chinese entrees carry marketed Sichuan or Chengdu flavors that are very muted, lackluster, and just brand-name expensive.

What is carrying the 4-star is the use of very fresh ingredients which is an absolute must if a restaurant wants to survive in this super-affluent McLean neighborhood; otherwise, I would have assigned a 3-star rating. We ordered the Dry-spicy combo hot pot, Chengdu seafood with crispy rice, Dragon eggplang with garlic sauce, and Amish duck bone soup with pickled radish.

What made dinner enjoyable? ..... the highly considerate staff. Again, good staff service would be a must in this affluent McLean neighborhood. Other than fresh ingredients and considerate service, I can pass on visiting Peter Chang moving forward.

Why pass on Peter Chang for me? We ordered the most Sichuan/Chengu spicy entree and nothing was ma-la/chengdu/sichuan spicy at all (this was the biggest let down of the entire dinner). The eggplant was cloyingly, aggressively too sweet. The Amish duck soup was supremely salty. And the Chengdu seafood entree was only adequate. Now the plating is another awkward story. The plating for all dishes were not practical at all and the spoon utensil seems more for show than ladling any liquid at the bottom of the bowl or plate. The dry hot pot swiveled like a gryoscope whenever you are mixing ingredients to prevent burnt food at the bottom. The huge bowl for the Chengdu seafood had such a small base, it could tip at any moment. Come to think of it, the plating and dishware seem to be prioritized higher than the flavor of the food. On top of all this, the price for each entree is nose-bleed high for the lack of authenticity in the entree recipes. To add insult to injury, each bowl of white rice was billed separately and didn't come with ordered entrees.“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“Overall this restaurant is our favorite for Chinese food. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. Recommend the Sweet and Sour Chicken as well as the Kung pao dishes.“

“Amazing and extraordinary flavors bursting with each bite. Bao Bei is a local favorite for a reason - they’re incredible! Owner/operators are down to earth and genuinely nice people, who also know how to treat customers right and run a business.“
