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“

“3 of us ordered the all you can eat and we were not disappointed! Our food was top notch! We ordered a bunch of the sides again and again! The spicy wonton were probably my favorite. Our waitress was patient and sweet! Thank you so much! Woot!“

“The best Chinese takeout in the area. Not the place for you if you’re looking for greasy salty saucy food. I’m 50+ and had to stop eating from nearby spots due to health. My lady lets me eat here I do not feel woozy night of or next morning after eating. Keep it up folks!

Dined in with my family and saw they added gelato now. I chuckled seeing a Chinese spot offering artisanal ice cream but thought it was really nice! They have guava, mango, coconut (which I got and was REALLY GOOD) and passionfruit and lucuma. Very densely packed for under $5 a pop. Something about a place having ice cream just brightens everything up.“

“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“

“We've been buying these dumplings from Costco for the past year and love them. We were so excited to find a storefront. The food was so good! We ordered the pork bao bun and the pork and chive dumplings. Prices were reasonable and the portions are perfect for sampling.“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

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

“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!“

“The ownership of this restaurant has changed, but the food did not disappoint! Ordered Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Chicken Broccoli, and Lo Mein. First of all, Fried Rice was not too soft or mushy. It was still really warm even after bringing it home. The egg in the Fried Rice looked fresh, being better than the last owner’s. The Egg Roll stayed the same, which was still really tasty! The Chicken Broccoli tasted great. Not too much sauce and the broccoli was not too soft or hard. The Lo Mein was well cooked with the right amount of sauce! The son working at the counter was also really kind while taking and giving me my order. Will be ordering again!“

“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.“

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

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“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!“

“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. ^^“

“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.“

“If you love noodles, you’ll probably want to check this place out. I really liked the atmosphere, and the service was great. That said, I wish they offered more than just noodle dishes. I ordered the beef noodle soup and was disappointed to find only two pieces of broccoli—was hoping for a few more veggies.

The place was packed during our visit, so clearly a lot of people enjoy the food. Personally, it wasn’t for me.“

“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.“

“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.“

“They have massive numbers of menu items and options. Everything is super fresh and delicious! They always put out the Specials menu outside of the front door. They are always super busy during the weekend and only take reservations for 5-6 groups of people. During the weekend the waiting time normally 30-60 minutes for dining in. But their to-go were always good. Some of the items online were no longer available, will need to double check with them.“

“This is the original restaurant that brought Peking Duck to America using the family's secret recipe and cooking techniques. I've been a regular customer for decades. The family's courtesy makes every visit a wonderful experience beyond the array of gourmet food.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!!!!! ????“

“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.“

“Peter Chang is an absolutely amazing chef. This is one of his many restaurants. The menu allows you to order many small plates (akin to tapas) to try a variety of the menu. I had the soup dumplings and Peking Duck Buns for my appetizers and they were exceptional! I had the Dan Dan Noodles for my main course. It was also delicious. In fact, they were the best Dan Dan Noodles I've ever eaten! The portion is also very large as I had some difficulty finishing it.“

“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! :)“

“The dish that I ordered was great!!!“

“I love their drypot and malapot options. Good selection of toppings and high quality beef+lamb. Owner is super nice and has give me free water and extra rice on occasion. Be careful of putting too much food into your bowl since you may end up with an expensive meal that you cannot finish.“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“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!“

“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!😘“

“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.“

“They always treat you like family.“

“Food was delicious and tightly packed in the bag, the containers that the rice comes in, is so cute, everything was hot and ready for us to eat, including soy sauce packets, fortune cookies. Loved it! Thank you for making our food fresh <3“

“Enjoyed lunch here on a Saturday. All the dishes we ordered were nicely seasoned and well made. The dry pot was spicy, flavorful, and packed with veggies. The Dan Dan noodle was in the traditional style and flavor. The pepper steak was tender and spicy. Overall, the food met my expectations. The space was beautiful. Not busy at all.“

“Chiija was absolutely phenomenal!
From the moment I walked in, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her smile, kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made my experience unforgettable. She’s a true gem and a shining example of what amazing service looks like. I hope P.F. Chang’s knows how lucky they are to have her on the team!“

“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.“

“This is a small restaurant has just a couple of tables and chairs it's mostly a carryout it's in a convenient location close to a laundromat a nail salon and other restaurants every time I visit this restaurant the food is great and fresh is delicious the staff is courteous I recommend this place and the prices are good they have an awesome lunch menu if you're in the neighborhood check it out let me know what you think“

“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 ??‍♀️“

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

“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.“

“I ordered take-out via Grubhub, the sushi was very fresh & tasted great. Presentation was all there however, the Volcano appetizer was tiny. For $13.00 and it being that small, if I had dined in the restaurant and it came out like that I would have sent it back. I won’t be ordering that again!“

“Tasty but inconsistent. My husband finds their food too sweet - like they use more sugar in the sauces than normal. Twice they've forgotten to include the soup I paid extra for, so double-check before leaving.

Portion sizes are great - we always have lots of leftovers when we get 3 combo meals for 2 adult and 2 young kids.

We had the sesame chicken and orange chicken (both on the sweet side) and the hunan beef (very fresh and nice). We ordered medium spicy for the beef and even though I could see red pepper on it, it wasn't spicy - at all. I even gave some to the baby. The fried rice and egg rolls are good.“
