50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Chevy Chase

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

“A cute place in a cozy spot filled with joy and anticipation. The menu changes often so, if you look online and salivate at one of the photos, there is a good chance what you desire has morphed into something else. But fear not, the chef has surely created something new you willingly dive into.

I had the beef short ribs Chinese style. As my mother would say, when she is commenting on a dish, it was nice. That is a higher praise than most, but I feel it was appropriate for this dish. It wasn’t what I was expecting for a place with such high accolades. More like Korean Kalbi with Szechuan spice. Just a suggestion, maybe work on the presentation and add some coconut sugar to the marinade to balance out the flavor of the dish. It was served with an apple slaw that was also, nice, as it was the tangy acidic element to the dish. As the meat was spicy and the slaw tangy I was left yearning for that great balance of flavor great asian food has—spicy, sweet, tangy all in one bite.

I also had the lotus dumpling and that was delightful— maybe the same critique, just missing one thing, but I can’t put my finger on it yet.

The food was good and would definitely go back if I could find a nice date (almost impossible nowadays unless you pay upfront). Service was excellent and the ambiance made you feel warm and welcome. You should try this spot and order a lot more than I did to get a true experience of what this place has to offer.“

“Very friendly and lovely owner! The food was absolutely delicious and everything was prepared by him personally. I didn’t think vegetarian noodles could be made in such a way, but the dish was truly excellent. The same goes for my husband’s dumplings. We enjoyed everything very much. I highly recommend it to everyone!“

“Amazing food great bartender Oscar!!! A win is a win and i highly recommend!!! Ian the manager is a friend you didn’t know you would make!!“

“We finally found a great Chinese restaurant worth sponsoring!The food is excellent, fresh and they have healthy options. We really enjoy steamed chicken and broccoli, steamed dumplings and rice noodles. The owner is a wonderful young man and the employees are very kind. Truly a neighborhood gem.“

“Been scouting this place for about 3 weeks for a birthday dinner. I called over a week in advance for a party of 7 - 13 people. They were able too accommodate and the food was GOOOOOD! That hotpot was smokin and I thought I choose a milder one but it was excellent in taste for me. Now this was the first time I have had it so don't come at me if it doesn't hit you taste buds the same.“

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

“I love these soup dumplings! We get the frozen ones to have on hand all the time and the fresh ones are a delicious snack when you’re there.

You have to order on your own and take a number and then it’s in the back of the market which is why I’m giving 4 stars for service and atmosphere but definitely try these!!“

“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“

“Soupy Dumpling & Fancy Cuppa is my new go-to spot for comfort food. The soup dumplings are perfectly juicy and flavorful, the spicy beef noodle soup has a rich, satisfying broth with just the right kick, and the mango bubble tea is refreshing and not overly sweet. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. The place is cozy, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a visit! Oh they have robots running around so can be fun with kids.“

“This is another Peter Chang location - so if you are familiar with the DC dining scene, you can already guess: this place is fantastic. The decor makes it look a little fast casual, but the food is phenomenal. Possible the best mala (numbing spice) I have ever had.

Memorable, and incredible- spice fried fish, spicy wontons, scallion pancake, shrimp dumplings, soup.

Also good - BBQ Buns, soup dumplings“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“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.“

“This is another take out Chinese place like called Wing Wah . This s a place you must either call in order food or order online through their website .

“The Chongqing Spicy Chicken is fantastic every time. If you have never had it before this is the place to get it. All of the dishes I've tried are very fresh and aromatic, especially regarding the oils and sauces. It is very apparent that all the ingredients are of good quality. Service is polite and very quick.“

“I been trying to try this place for years finally made it.

spicy beef mo: 10 I dont care for cumin but im a believer now. the beef cooked perfectly. the right amount of spice just a nice kick so u can still enjoy the flavors of the onion, pepper and cumin. I ate
3.

red oil sesame dumpling 8. a little too spicy for me. I felt the kick in my throat a little too long. but noodle soft and flavorful.

Spicy potato noodle soup with beef. my friend gave it a 8.5 very spicy he was sweating but he said it had tender noodles, tender beef that was season well.

pan fried rolled noodle. 8.5 noodles well cooked not too spicy for me where i could still taste the blend of the onions and spices.“

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

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

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

“I had Beef With Vegetables in Peppery Broth, Schezwan dish. They have full non-schezwan Chinese dishes as well. It’s was spicy and went great with rice. Food came out really fast, about 5 minutes. Beats fast food when in a hurry. It’s one of those local restaurants that never quite picked back up after COVID, was happy to support a local business.“

“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. ^^“

“Best egg drop soup that I've had in years! The eggplant loves green bean was fantastic. We're ordering again tonight to try other items.“

“The food here is authentic and tastes just like real Chinese home-style cooking. The service is friendly and attentive and the environment is cozy, and relaxing. I highly recommend this restaurant to nearby students and anyone who loves genuine Chinese cuisine. Definitely worth a visit.“

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

“The food here is passable, the customer service is terrible. They're supposed to provide a fork and napkins, but when you open the bag the food comes in, there's nothing. You have to keep asking, and they only give you one napkin. I mean, hi... very bad service. That's why they only get one star.“

“I came from the zoo and wanted to sit down for some lunch. We got the Peking Duck and we’re not disappointed. Order a hot tea, the tea service is beautiful. We tried Beef and Vegetable Dumplings, they were juicy and rich, and earned a high recommendation. We were delighted we chose Han Palace it is beautiful and welcoming with superb service.“

“BEST LO MEIN I have had in a long long long time. Didn’t know it was possible to find a place that cooked it like this. Perfect texture, delicious. My favorite Chinese food place. Will be ordering at least every two weeks. Praise the chef.“

“Such a nice place right at the start of china town. The sushi is so fresh, recommend the salmon roll, salmon avocado and tuna avocado. The crispy tuna rice was so yummy. Miso soup always hits the spot, the chicken teriyaki was also yummy. The prices are so good for happy hour. Perfect lunch spot!“

“We are passionate about good dumplings and have had them all over the world. The ones at Dumplings & Beyond are as good as they get. Our only regret is it took us too long to start ordering others dishes. We have never had a dish that wasn’t excellent.“

“Omg, this place is amazing! Super chill vibes, food came out hot and fast (under 10 mins!), and it was so good. Kevin the manager is awesome, and the service was top-tier. One of the best Chinese spots I’ve ever been to—bring the whole family. Highly recommend!“

“Staff are extremely friendly and speak English well. Other Asians eat here too. Service is very quick and we went twice in the last week for their lunch special. Chicken is white and tender. They will omit vegetables as requested. We’re keeping their menu for our next trip on the red metro line to Chinatown.“

“Takeout only. Cash only. You can call ahead to place a pickup order. Wide variety of food options. It's delicious, great size portions, and the prices aren't bad. This is the only Chinese food I eat within the DMV, I will, and I have traveled over an hour to get food from them.“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“This chinese takeout spot is excellent! The fried rice and lo mein were both flavorful and cooked perfectly and the general tsos chicken was crispy and delicious. Great portions and great taste. Definitely one of the better takeout places around.“

“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!😘“

“We were on our trip to DC. By chance I pulled into the parking lot to check GPS. The wife suggested we grab a quick bite. The food was very decent. The waitress was not rude, but not polite either. Maybe that’s the thing with Chinese, we are not warm to our own kind.“

“super pretty cafe with great selection of food and pastries! the braised chicken and tofu rice bowl is delicious will definitely be ordering again…. also great place to bring if u/your friend is vegan they have a lot of options i order even though i eat meat :p“

“I had dinner with my friends at this place for several times. The food is good. i am not happy about the recent mooncake order. My assorted flavor order (6) contains only purple yam and mix nuts. Purple yam flavor is not listed in the original order website. The most similar one is purple yam and egg yolk. My expectation would be one cake for each flavor with one / two duplicates. Then I made the call for confirmation, I was told that the assorted flavor order are picked by mooncake master. It would more helpful to specify such information in the website. Otherwise, a little disappointed after one month wait.“

“We ordered the pan-fried noodle and triple delight. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and we plan to make this a regular stop for dinner. The portions were very generous. I should have taken a picture but by the time I thought of it my dish was half empty. Next time.“

“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 ??‍♀️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Not only is every dish delicious, but the service at Isshin is so warm, so welcome and so lovely. Secret menu item is the handmade dumplings (they have two types so ask for these specifically). Their miso soup is very rich but not overly salty, which can be difficult to find, yet it is here daily and for a good price. I’m particularly in love with their udon noddles, which I get vegetarian with tofu, and the veggies are perfectly crisp. Their sushi rolls are fresh and I never get the seaweed burps. They know us when we walk in and make my wife and I feel like family. Become a regular, it’s worth it.“

“It’s a staple on my list of comfort places to go. I usually deal with Stephanie and shes always courteous. The food is also usually consistently good.

Came in today and my order included 5 wings split. Tina made it a meal and I didn’t notice till I got home. There was a bit of a misunderstanding when I called in regarding it but she took my name and number and will provide a credit next time I’m in so that was resolved. This review is to keep them accountable for the next time I’m in the restaurant since I don’t know when that’ll be next.

Also, the place is REALLY clean. Love that for all of us“

“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.“

“This is the best Chinese food I've ever had. The vegetables were so fresh, they really tantalized my taste buds. The staff were very friendly, the prices and portions were great, and the restaurant was clean and quiet. In short, this Chinese restaurant is definitely worth a try! 👍👍👍“

“I went here before seeing a show at signature theater. The food was incredible. The garlic shrimp dumplings, which were packed with shrimp in a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the orangish chicken, which was a large portion, crispy, and delicious. The iced coffee was great too. Definitely going back!“

“I love this place! I've been here about five times now and it just keeps getting better. I always get just the basic AYCE for $27 and the meat is good for the price. The service is consistently good, and recently they added a make your own sauce bar, with a buffet of rice, noodles, fried rice, tons of vegetables and sides to choose from, as well as little cakes and ice cream included! Karaoke is always fun and the atmosphere is great.

Side note, they do validate parking but for 2 hours only. And they charge an additional $17 for food waste so be mindful of what you get. All in all, I recommend checking this place out!“

“Panda Cafe is the only Chinese restaurant I go to—and for good reason! The food is always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious😋. The staff are incredibly kind and polite, and the service is impressively fast. The restaurant is clean, and they package everything so well for takeout. I genuinely love this place. Thank you for the amazing service and consistently great food! I used to live 3 min away from here, now I live about 25min away but I still always come here💙!“

“Amazing place! The food is absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The owner is such a kind and welcoming person, which made the experience even better. A true hidden gem – highly recommended! A must go to place every time visiting DMV area.“
