“The food is very good. Had the Peking duck which was excellent. Also good was the scallion pancake, green beans. The special house made garlic sauce is excellent. Service was slow and inattentive. The place was very loud making conversation difficult.“

“Amazing place for some authentic Halal Chinese cuisine! We tried Hakka lomein spicy, shrimp fried rice and both were delicious! The service was amazing and owners r very friendly and accommodating.
First time we went there for lunch dine in, the owner gave us free desi chai on the house and second time, the owner gave us drinks on the house.
We're hooked to this place and my wifey and I plan to eat here at least once I week!“

“This place is, hands down, the best Chinese food I've ever had. The service was amazing and so kind! I've always loved Mei Fun, but Golden Coast has out done themselves with this meal. Great portions and it was so flavorful! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“We visited this evening. Food was fantastic! I really enjoyed the soup dumplings! The staff was super courteous. I had brought in dessert (a cake) from outside and they were super nice about it. They even offered to refrigerate it for us! After dinner, they brought us fresh plates, forks and a knife. Despite being very busy they also don't rush you too much.“

“The gyozas were some of the best we ever had and the service was outstanding. However, the menu can be a bit confusing for newcomers. Both our noodle dishes were tasty (one with beef and the other one with fish). Somehow, the noodles felt a bit overcooked. May be that’s the way they were supposed to be but we prefer them firmer. We will be back to try other dishes.“

“Nestled in a bustling shopping center alongside Honey Pig, Chin Xi'an Style Restaurant is a hidden gem that specializes in handpulled, numbing Szechuan noodles.
During our Saturday lunch visit, the restaurant was buzzing with activity. Limited seating means you might have to wait 5-10 minutes for a table during peak times, but trust me, it’s worth it. The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, perfect for a quick meal.
We started with the 12 Hour Stewed Pork Hand Pulled Noodles and the Spicy Pork Noodles, alongside the “you pick 3” cold dishes: dried tofu skin, sweet heat cabbage, and shredded potatoes. We couldn’t resist adding a Spicy Cumin Beef Murger, served in a crisp baked flatbread.
The handpulled noodles were undeniably the highlight. Each strand was perfectly al dente, with just the right amount of chew. The stewed pork noodles stole the show—flavorful, tender, and the kind of comfort food that warms your soul. The spicy pork noodles were a bit of a letdown in comparison; while enjoyable, they lacked the bold flavor profile that made the stewed pork so memorable.
The cold dishes were a delightful accompaniment. The crunchy texture of the shredded potatoes and sweet heat cabbage provided a refreshing contrast to the chewy noodles. They added a nice touch of variety to our meal.
As for the Murger, it was decent. The cumin flavor was prominent and well-executed, making it a satisfying choice to round out our meal.
Overall, Chin Xi'an is an excellent spot for those craving authentic Szechuan flavors. The noodles are the star, and with a few tweaks to some dishes, this place could easily elevate itself to must-visit status. If you find yourself in Ellicott City, make sure to stop by for a taste of their handpulled noodles—you won’t regret it!
Vegetarian options: several vegetarian options
Parking: plenty of adjacent lot parking
Kid-friendliness: menu is somewhat friendly to kids as long as they like noodles
Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant can get a little cramped at peak hours for a wheelchair. No stairs present is a plus“

“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!“

Mustafa made sure, at every turn, that we had a divine dining experience. Thank you PF Chang’s for the excellent choice to hire him. Mustafa deserves a raise and special recognition for making us feel so welcome!“

“We have been to Asian Palace several times and we've always enjoyed our visits.
Since the pandemic, business seems to be off and on a Saturday evening at about 7:00 p.m., Asian Palace deserve to be a good deal more busy than it actually was. No problem getting a table right away at all.
The Chinese entrees we ordered were plentiful tasty and reasonably priced. Service was super-prompt and solid. We did not get sushi on this visit and our overall bill was really quite reasonable particularly given the location.
Somehow I believe that if Asian Palace were to relocate to some place with better foot traffic or a better Street front, they would be appreciably busier.
Come and discover Asian Palace before they figure that out (Or, ald it would be tragic, before they close)“

“I ordered beef hofun and personally found the taste quite good. However, what I really like is their hofun. I've tried hofun at many places, and this restaurant's hifun are not sticky. The flavor is mild for me, but I think it's a bit strong. After all, everyone has different taste preferences. Overall, I think it's pretty good.“

“First-time customer- I got steamed pork dumplings and hot crispy chicken. The dumplings and sauce were so delicious that I ate all of them before eating my entree (which was good also!) The fortune cookie was still warm-- they must make it themselves! Comparing to other Chinese restaurants, the prices were great.“

“This is probably of the best Chinese food in a while, I’ve stopped eating Chinese food for years and decided to try this place randomly It’s surprisingly really good I got a simple beef and broccoli. The rice was perfect not mushy not dry nor over seasoned. The beef taste like beef and the broccoli didn’t taste Like broccoli, majority of Chinese food spots! This one is a good spot. In my opinion“

“I've been coming to China dynasty for at least 25 years I believe. One thing that I have found that I love that they have is they make a great steak and cheese sandwich. It's actually better than Ledo's . Very fast service. Was ready in 15 minutes. The staff is very courteous and just a wonderful family run place pick up food from. Give them a try they are really Great Americans as well!!“

“I was new to the area and had no idea where anything was located. But I knew that this place was right around the corner. They would take my order (same thing : general Tsos chicken and white rice) within 10 mins before closing several times for me. I was so appreciative….considering they are often open late when everything else is closed. They tried to refuse a cash tip until I said I would never return if they didn’t accept it lol.
Which was a total lie. I would return regardless. Just writing this review is making me consider placing another order ? the foods great
Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions I wouldn’t recommend eating Chinese food.
Parking: Parking is limited because there’s so many little establishments but it’s not impossible to find a spot. You just need to pay close attention for one that’s available.
Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t want to eat Chinese food? I mean it’s not Chuck-E-Cheese so it’s not a restaurant equipped with a children’s play area. And it’s set up as a quick, come and go. But the food itself is kid friendly.
Wheelchair accessibility: You can access the establishment via wheelchair“

“Had a delicious lunch today from Lee’s! The Hot and Sour soup was delicious (I like mushrooms in it but understand that each chef customizes their recipe). The Szechuan Beef combo was spicy, but not too spicy. Came with a yummy egg roll! It’s been a while since I stopped by and I’m glad that I did.“

If you live in the area and you are going somewhere else I'd love to know where? And your reasons. Every friday you will catch me there getting dinner. It's not friday without Lin's.“

“Food is always good and fresh, especially the pork selections. Service for Takeout is always good and friendly.
Most the menu is good, sometimes the bigger chunks of chicken can be a little dry.
Overall I definitely recommend this place.“

“I have always loved this place. Great food and reasonable prices. I see some reviews about the lady at the front. If you pay in cash, you're good. Credit card fees for small businesses are astronomical which is why it's preferred to spend over a certain amount if you are using a credit card. Credit card companies are slamming small businesses, so some of your orders this restaurant would rather lose because you're actually costing them money with your small orders. #ijs“

“Very good Chinese food. We have been going there weekly for 2 years. Have tried the soups, low mein, and steamed dumplings. All great. Our favorites are Shrimp chop suey and Shrimp and scallops in garlic sauce. It's addicting. Fast service and nice folks to take your order. Take out only.“

“I wanted to make sure the food was still the same. It's been some years since I dined there so I played ot aafw with Shrimp Fried Rice. It was piping hot and delicious! Plenty of shrimp though I could have had more veggies. Not too much soy sauce. I was pleasantly surprised!“

“QQ China is the closest location to me for Chinese takeout. It never fails me, I always get my order hot and delicious. I also like the portions of the food, I always am satisfied. It is a local staple for Chinese food in the Aspen Hill area.“
“I've been coming to this place for a few months now, and it's quickly become one of my go-to spots for quick, flavorful Chinese food. The menu is full of classics — General Tso’s Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, Lo Mein, Fried Rice — and they do most of them really well.“

“Ordered to go because they had no takeout. Hot and sour soup was not very hot or sour. General tsos was excellent, egg rolls were excellent, white rice was excellent, spare ribs were excellent. All for around 42.00 including tip. Very good deal.“
