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 gave Asian Palace a try for lunch and had a great experience. The Pick 3 Sushi Lunch Special is not only a great deal but also delicious! I get the Alaskan roll, Spicy Yellowtail, and Veggie Tempura roll with a house salad. All three rolls are so good and the salad dressing is amazing. We have also tried Chicken Satay (the best I have ever had), the Godzilla roll, Spicy Fancy roll and the egg drop soup. All were fantastic. We will be definitely be making this a regular spot!“

“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“

“This restaurant is the best I've been in the city.
The food is delicious and not pricey, the ambiance is great, and the Peking Duck is amazing.
On top of that, management gives a lot of importance to each and every customer. It really feels like you are received as a guest, and not just as a client.
5/5, would recommend if you are around !“

“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.“

“Saw an influencer raving about this so off we went to try for ourselves. So glad we did, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We opted for the AUCE dim sum which they offer on the weekends. Part of what I liked about this is you order off the menu not a rolling cart coming by like many dim sum places. This way I could read through all the options and know what I wanted to try. And not be disappointed if I ordered something I didn’t like. But this was not an issue here, there was nothing we ordered that wasn’t delicious!!! Dave kept asking what my favorite dish was but I couldn’t answer, it was all so good! So many choices but we couldn’t fit in all of what we wanted to try. We can’t wait to go back to try other dishes! The staff was always checking in with us, offered suggestions and made sure our teapot stayed filled. Do yourself a favor and go try it for yourself!“

“My server Silas was excellent! He was very attentive, professional, and always made sure me and my daughters enjoyed our meal. The manager was also very nice and helped us sign up for the rewards for an even better experience. I highly recommend the Columbia, MD location!!! I'm looking forward to visiting again.“

“This was the most authentic, delicious, Chinese food I've had since visiting China back in 2007. It brought back so many memories, I could have cried. I had the black vinegar peanuts, red chili sesame dumplings, and the minced pork noodles. I can't wait to go back. This is food I'll dream about.“

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

“Foo Lin continues to be absolute perfection. Every single time we come here, it’s five stars — no exceptions.

This visit, we tried the Hunan flounder special, and wow. The flounder was incredibly fresh — succulent, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The Hunan sauce it came with was bold, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. I’m genuinely excited to post the pictures because we were too busy enjoying the food to do it justice in the moment.

As always, the hot and sour soup hits every single time. The spring rolls are amazing, the egg rolls are amazing, and the spicy shrimp dumplings are out of this world. There is not a single miss on the menu.

And the service? Truly unmatched. The bartending and hospitality here are exceptional. Ms. Lin and Jenny is also absolutely amazing — warm, attentive, and consistently wonderful. The staff makes you feel like family, not just customers.

I’ve been coming to Foo Lin for over 20 years, and I can honestly say it’s the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I will never love another place the way I love this one. The food, the service, the consistency — it’s all just incredible.

If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. It is and always will be a favorite“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“This is a nice reminder of what authentic Chinese food taste like. We tried slices beef with peppers, spring rolls, egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice. Everything was piping hot and well flavored.

The only thing to be modified is the time it took to take drink orders and the order of food delivery (the preference is for appetizers to come out before the meal but asking the customer if all is desired together is good).

The venue is spacious, the light is well balanced and it has nice music playing juat enough to set the scene for authentic cuisine. We will definitely be back when we return to DC.“

“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“

“Had a delicious dinner at Full Key restaurant. Ordered garlic shrimp Chinese broccoli & hot tea. Large portions, excellent service. My family goes here regularly, we love it! I accidentally left my purse there, & they had held it for me~ thank you, Full Key!“

“We liked this place and ordered vegetable fried rice and wings for pickup. Everything was very good, price was reasonable and the rice amount was ok for a large size order. Only thing I would say that they could have fried the rice little longer with little bit more soy sauce, then it could have been like authentic New York China Town style.“

“The place is calm and the service is good they are very politely people but the only complain is that the food was better before I dont know if they had change the cookers or the recipes but lately I bought a wings with French fries and beef broccoli and shrimp lo mein so the rice of the beef broccoli which was for my wife was very dry hope the manager watch this message and solve this problem.“

“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!!“

“Everything on the menu is vegetarian. We love the house seaweed soup for two. Best imitation chicken in Rockville. My favorite is the ginger chicken with broccoli. But chicken with vegetables is also a winner! Huge menu! Great spot for vegetarian food.“

“Visited for dim sum for the first time today. There was no wait at 11am on a Sunday, perhaps the nice spring weather today kept people away and outside. Shrimp dumplings, pork buns, egg tarts, broccoli with oyster sauce, fried squid, pork fried rice, sesame balls were all good. Service was fast and friendly, environment was clean and pleasant. For a family of four the bill was $100 and we left very full. Would come back.“

“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“

“I loveeeeeeee hood stuff ! I’m a Philly girl and when in DC I needed some mumbo sauce and heard on the street the best place to try genuine mumbo sauce is a takeout place ! This food was so bomb ! Im a SPK on my platter kinda girl already but that salt pepper ketchup and mumbo sauce really took me to the next level! I would definitely go back through here and hit them up on a late night !“

“This restaurant had perfect skewers, perfect hot pot, perfect sauce bar, perfect everything. I don’t know how else to describe this amazing place. Clean, yummy foods, comfortable seats, everything positive about this. People, you need to come here just to experience the specialty!“

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

“This place is so good for quick Chinese food! They always pack the containers and definitely do not skimp on the meat! Price is good for how much food they give! Always in 10 minutes or less, I’ve been coming here for only a few months so I’m glad i found this place“

“Their spring rolls are so crunchy and flaky you can taste the freshness and pairs nicely with the shrimp and broccoli. Their food has that signature carry out taste you crave and not everyone gets right. The food is always hot and you can taste the good quality. This is also the only place I’ve seen that has the cutest mini shop inside where you can get adorable collectibles.“

“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!“

“We love this spot - our local go-to for Chinese! It’s not our number 1 choice for Thai, but the Thai food is also very good (I love the drunken noodles). The family who runs it is always very sweet and we’ve never had an issue after going there for years 😄“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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 place is superb! Tje food and service is great. They are one of the few places who serve Egg Foo Young. We ❤️ it. Their Kung Pao Chicken is very good. We also enjoyed their Chicken Lo Mein as well as their Shrimp Chow Fun. Grace is an excellent server and Leo at the register is very friendly and accommodating. We definitely recommend this place as Chinese comfort food!“

“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.“

“This place does not have the highest quality of food but if you want something fast, delicious, and satisfying this is always a good spot to go. It is a institution in the area, and is a reliable spot. If you want a lot of bang for your buck this is the place to go!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Being from Chicago it has bein rather hard to find some good food out here but when im craving Chinese this is where i come. Shrimp fried rice ex shrimp light onions ex egg n pls make it spicy. They make it right everytime. Thank you ❤️“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good food“

“Our go to affordable Chinese takeout. They don’t skimp on the food and always fill it to the brim. We always order their pork fried rice, chefs delight, and fried dumplings.
This time we ordered their crispy beef and salt & pepper fish.
Crispy beef - It is thinly sliced and the beef is dry. However, we like to order it because of the crunchy texture and the sweet and spicy flavor.

Salt & pepper fish- Well fried and not oily. It has a very good mild jalapeño flavor.

My interaction with the lady has always been congenial on the phone and in-person. I’ve“
