50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Colesville

“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.“

“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.“

“We went for a pre-holiday meal with family and we were all so delighted. The beverages were all great (coffee martini, cucumber spritz, Turkish mule.) we had a couple of appetizers (spinach pie and Turkish pizza with ground lamb), again both delicious. Trying to leave room for the generous servings was difficult; especially since we wanted to try dessert!! The lamb and chicken were both tender and cooked to perfection whether it was on a kebab or in the mixed grill. I won't say much about dessert as we were too full and took it home and enjoyed it the next day. It seems pricey but the food and service are outstanding and the food is heavenly. Enjoy!!“

“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“

“Dined with my wife and kids and we ordered a variety of dishes because of varying tastes and picky eaters in my family. EVERY SINGLE DISH was incredibly delicious. From the pan-fried dumplings to the chicken fried rice to the Kung Pao Chicken to the Mongolian Beef, everything was cooked to perfection with generous portion sizes. Highest of recommendations. Plus, our server was very professional. Present when we needed her, but not at all overbearing.“

“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.“

“Review is for Kevin the bartender , been in several times for short pick ups and the service is always nothing less than extraordinary! The drinks are always amazing the conversation is even better ! The young man knows how to treat and handle people! Highly recommended! Never had a better margarita! Very professional“

“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.“

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

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“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.“

“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 love this place. No it doesn’t have the best ambiance being in a strip mall and the interior probably needs work. But they aren’t selling a dining experience, they are essentially takeout only which means they are selling the food.

The food is solid. I am a very picky eater, and I’ve returned to this place many times. It’s authentic and flavorful. They also give you large portions and they are not expensive. I used to drive to Columbia just for Singapore noodles because I didn’t know where else to get them done well.

So far I’ve had the singapore noodle, general tso, combo rice, and steak and cheese sandwich. i really enjoyed that steak and cheese! but i don’t like crinkle fries which is what they serve.

I’m so glad ive found local takeout that is GOOD! the woman who works at the front is very friendly and professional. I will keep going back.“

“The food was good. Avoid the beef spare rub entre but definitely get pan fried noodles with Seafood and the Duck dishes. Dim sum is also tasty!!“

“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 restaurant has been in business for many years, which proves the quality of the food is very good. I always take my grandmother here to eat because they have many vegetarian dishes. The interior and atmosphere aren't very appealing, but be polite because all the staff are elderly.“

“Since Eastern Gourmet has opened it has become our go-to for great Chinese takeout. We have ordered an extensive amount of the menu and there aren't any dishes that haven't blown us away. The food is amazing, the service is attentive, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.“

“Stepping into this place felt like I’d been teleported straight into Hong Kong—no plane ticket, no jet lag, just pure dim sum magic. The décor? Authentic down to the teapots. The air buzzes with people chatting in Chinese, which immediately told me: I’d stumbled into the real deal.

The dim sum came out piping hot, the tea never stopped flowing, and the service had that endearing “mom energy” where they ask what you want before you even know yourself. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and dangerously good.

Final verdict: five stars. So good I forgot to take photos—too busy living my best Hong Kong food fantasy right here at home.“

“Love enjoying lunch and dinner here. I enjoy the staff and make sure you make reservations because the weekend evenings get pretty packed. Good food Good atmosphere Good staff Highly recommend“

“Classic! Went for a quick lunch, but definitely will be back to taste more!
Edit — been back twice now. Really good food. My only suggestion is to get the timing right, because there can be quite a wait, but that speaks to the quality!“

“I am Chinese. I have eaten a lot of Chinese food in my life. This is excellent Chinese food and certainly the best I’ve had in DC proper thus far. The Kung pao chicken and house special soup in particular are spot on. No notes. Just order it“

“This place is SOOOO good. Wanted to introduce my dad to hot pot and THIS is the place I'm brining him to tomorrow. So many options, even if they didnt have skewers it'd be 10/10. But they do. So it's 15/10 for me. Keep doing what you do ya'll. We are regulars and always will be ❤️“

“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!!“

“The food is authentic and delicious. From the dumpling noodle soup, seafood congee, string beans in garlic sauce, duck and other menu items; I have yet to have a bad meal here.“

“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“

“Since discovering this local restaurant a few months ago, I've ordered from here around a dozen times. This is partly due to the fact that my partner considers the moo shu chicken at this place the best she's had. I have liked everything I've tried thus far. And the prices can't be beat.“

“Good parking; though only 2 spaces! GREAT egg drop 🍜 soup (my favorites). Wheelchair accessible. 👩‍🦽“

“The best Chinese take out in Washington D.C.
Please support this family business for lunch or dinner. Candy and her family are the kindest people. I have been coming here since I was a kid and seeing her kids all grown up is such a special gift of time. Wonder Chicken rocks!“

“I’m originally from New York, where you get the best Chinese food in America. We searched far and wide in Maryland since we moved here, and this restaurant is equal to New York! It is so delicious. Their Crab Rangoon is actually the best I ever had. My son loves the vegetarian chicken. Every single thing we have gotten from them has been fantastic. Highly recommend!“

“The place is just a long and narrow people with two employees. You order on a screen and wait. There are zero chairs or ambiance but the food is DELICIOUS. I would say the dumplings are on par with what we get from Rockville. Really, really good food.“

“Returning after 30 years, I was amazed to find the same owners at Peking Chef. While the world outside has transformed, the heart of this place hasn't changed. They still serve food made with integrity and warmth.

It’s especially commendable in today's economy. Despite rampant inflation, they haven't compromised on what matters: fresh, high-quality ingredients (and no MSG!), generous portions, and incredibly fair prices. The food is as delicious as I remember.

My visit was a perfect blend of nostalgia and a truly great meal. Thank you for the consistency and excellence.“

“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.“

“I moved out of College Park a few weeks ago and I will definitely miss all of the amazing meals that me and my husband enjoyed together from Eddie’s Cafe. Great food and priced right. Hope we can find a good replacement restaurant in our new area.“

“Great food, speedy excellent service, and excellent vibes. The music they play overhead is pretty loud though, but, it’s definitely a nice spot to go out w/ The family or w/ riends.“

“This is a takeout place. I ordered delivery, which was expensive. With delivery fee, convenience fee, tax, and tip, the cost was more than double for the food.
I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I ordered two lunches. You get a choice of appetizers. The wonton soup is much tastier than at most restaurants. The egg roll was pretty good.
I ordered shrimp with vegetables, which comes in a white sauce. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were crisp. For under $3 extra, you can get plain lo mein instead of rice. It was tasty.
I also ordered Szechuan pork. It's supposed to be spicy. I found it mildly spicy. It comes with broccoli, carrots, and onions. They give you plenty of pork, and the sauce has a nice flavor.
I will get their food again, but not with delivery.“

“We’ve had a hard time finding a go to Chinese restaurant in the area. We’ve ordered from here a few times, most recently moo goo gai pan and triple delight. Food was cooked to perfection (meat was tender, veggies were both soft & crispy), but lacks some of the typical Chinese veggies like water chestnuts and baby corn. Good balance of vegetables and meat, large portions.“

“I stumbled across this gem on the evening of the 4th of July. My mom was in the mood for seafood soup, and none of my main spots was open. So as I was at a stop light, I quickly googled the closest open spot, and China America Inn was the 1st in line. I didn't even know this place was a place! And it's close to home too!! It's not a party place, so table seating is limited, BUT the food is so good you will want to take it home and devour it in your own comfort where you can relax afterward. I ordered 2 seafood soups, general tso, and buffalo wings. The man who took my order was super nice and informative about other options available. My mom LOVES the seafood soup!! the general tso was fantastic, well cooked and not hard, just like I want it. The wings were very flavorful as well. Thank you for making my mom happy!! She is very picky about how her seafood soup looks and tastes. She said 10 out of 10!! This is our new spot!!“

“This was some of the best friend chicken I’ve ever had.

I came here try the a chicken w/Mumbo sauce.
It took a few days but Kenny’s ended up being the best of the best of the best of the best.
The chicken is perfectly cooked and the sauce is great.
The other spots overcook the chicken or the sauce is just sweet and sour sauce.“

“The Lady is mean not the daughter but the mom, I don't what's wrong with her she always grumpy at me and the rice they don't mixed well when is fried rice you can see lot of white rice spot because they don't mixed well, I like the food but because of her attitude my head hurts alot when I go there ,that's right I don't buy often is really rare that I order food from there, she needs to change her attitude to get more customers.“

“Honestly this is my go to carryout. Ive tried many carryouts and from my experience this is the best one I've ever tried! The staff is very kind, hardworking and really understand how to do their job. Every time I come in I always see them multitasking and still keeping the food coming. Im always looking forward to getting my food from here. Highly recommend!“

“My husband said best shrimp Singapore noodles he had . Not dried out ??“

“Went here with my girlfriend and got :- 6 fried 6 steamed dumplings- general tso’s- fried rice- rice noodles- wonton soupI can easily say it was the best dumplings I have ever had. The rice noodles were very good and the wonton soup was alright. The gen tsos was as expected (good) and the fried rice was pretty good. I will definitely be coming back and getting more. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for great Chinese food. Also the service was awesome, they seem like great people.“

“My husband and I ordered for Valentine’s Day and it was SOO good! Our new go to restaurant for Chinese cuisine!!“

“We visited this spot for lunch or dinner while working around the Wharton area. Since moving to Philly, we make it a point to return every year for lunch. Their Watercrest Stir Fry is a must-try, thanks to its tempting garlic aroma and crunchy Watercress. We particularly enjoy their deep-fried Silver Fish and Pork Chop—absolutely tasty. The pork intestines are also outstanding. If you love authentic cuisine, this is a place you should definitely visit.“

“My go to chinese carryout place. Best place for chicken wings or other chicken pieces to eat as well and the fried rice. I tried fried rice from dozens of other carryouts and nothing comes close to their rice. Steak and cheese is the best and others dishes are great as well. Only problem is it's cash only other then that food is great.Btw ask for the hot sauce if you get fried chicken. The sauce is strong but goes well with the chicken!“

“Nice place. Immediatw greet upon entry. Easy to read menu with lots of options between chinese entrees and Japanese sushi.
Crab rangoons are good and Mongolian Beef has a great sauce flavor!
This is my 2nd time when I come to this area and would definitely come back.“

“My family has been ordering from Simon's since they opened. They have always been kind and we have watched each other's families grow over the years. Their food is good especially if you are a steak and cheese lover! Make sure you get a jumbo mix to wash down all that good food!“

“I love Goodies🩷 The food is always fresh and down right delicious goodness gracious I live at least 5 mins away and they're my go to everytime🩷 I truly recommend the shrimp egg foo young the gravy is delicious and the chicken wings are always bomb🩷 I'm ordering today soon as they on at 11:30!!!!“
