50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Derwood

“I recently decided to take my friend out for an authentic Chinese meal at China Jade, and once again, it did not disappoint! As a college student, I sometimes forget the comforting feeling of a good home-cooked meal, and China Jade does an incredible job of bringing that feeling back.

I’ve visited China Jade numerous times, and each experience has exceeded my expectations. From the delicious, high-quality food to the exceptional customer service and welcoming staff, everything about this restaurant makes you feel right at home.

The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Chinese dishes, so there’s always something delicious to try. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, and the service is truly top-tier.

If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food, generous hospitality, and a comforting dining experience, I highly recommend checking out China Jade. It’s definitely a place I’ll continue coming back to!“

“I have nothing but good things to say about Gourmet Asian Bistro (7224 Muncaster Mill Rd, Derwood, MD 20855). It offers Chinese, Thai, and sushi. I've eaten there 3 times in the past 2 weeks, and it's been excellent every time and affordable! The vegetable tofu soup ($2.95) is huge, satisfying, and full of veggies. The wonton soup ($2.95) has 3 good sized wontons. Both soups come with a bowl of tastier-than-average fried wonton strips on the side that I end up munching on during the entire meal. The sizzling black pepper beef ($16.95?) was tasty, but I was more impressed by the noodle dishes. The beef chow fun ($14.95?) and the Singapore mei fun ($13.95) were beautifully seasoned and cooked perfectly. I've also gotten the salmon nigiri ($5.95?) a couple times, and it's generously portioned and fresh with great quality salmon. Every meal ends with a complimentary tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream and fortune cookie. There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants in MoCo, but Gourmet Asian Bistro is my current favorite for best flavor and value.“

“Very authentic Chinese food. They have a big menu with variety of add ons and starter. I went there at around 5 so it wasn’t busy at all but they only had 1 staff so the wait for ordering was quite long. Thankfully, our food was ready within 15 minutes.“

“Food is great, easily one of the best dumplings I've tried in my life. Everything is flavorful and really good. I like it so much that I drive there over 40 mins to eat with friends from time to time. The first few visits I had some issues with the service but it seems to be improving.“

“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“

“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. ^^“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“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.“

“Wish this shop is in rockville - germantown is a bit far from me so won’t be frequenting it as often as i like.

The food is decent - not bad - just a bit inconvenient to get to.

It seems they don’t ask for tipping when using card to pay? Not sure if it’s just a glitch for us.

We liked the tomato soup.“

“oh my goodness. Everything, the freshest seafood I've seen in just about ever, delicious broths, huge portions, great presentation. My first hot pot experience and I will be back, a lot of times. Met the owner, and he was wonderful too. I highly suggest supporting this tasty, and fresh establishment“

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

“It's a great spot. First time going and it was stupendous. Will definitely go back.

Went for early lunch and it was great. Only a few people there.
The food was great. Orders came out pretty quick. The service was excellent. The waitress checked on us, and took good care of us, replenishing our drinks.

The place felt very comfy and clean. Highly recommended for any type of event.“

“Lived in Bethesda for 50 years, now in Bend, OR--where good Chinese food is non-existent. On numerous visits back home, I've patronized Foong Lin with high school buddies--and it always delivers the goods. Last night, we all had hot and sour soup, egg rolls, crispy beef, combination Kung Pao, combination lo mein...and everything was off the charts!“

“Best bao in the DMV, hands down! Congrats on the new location. Nice space and good location. Lean into the front of house - you guys are rockstars!“

“Ah, where do I begin? I’ve been to many authentic Chinese restaurants, but this is by far my favorite. The staff is so nice, friendly, and helpful. They’re always willing to recommend some good dishes and the service is great. There are two male servers who genuinely care about the customers and always make sure each and every dish comes out just right. The food is also delicious. I highly recommend the zhong dumplings and spicy chicken dry pot. The cumin lamb and dan dan noodles are also good if you’re looking for a little spice. Pretty much anything you order from Sichuan Jin River will be good in my opinion. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Delicious food, the tea was even better. Atmosphere beautiful and the staff very friendly. I will be back!“

“We know about this restaurant for many years but never went there because I usually don’t eat only vegetables, however seeing that the restaurant still operates after so many years I think it must be ok. We went on a Saturday evening for the first time and was surprised to see many people there, the service was quick and the food was very good. I recommend it.“

“The food and service was very good! Generous portion of food.“

“This charming little restaurant serves authentic Yunnan rice noodles. I opted for the Kimchi Beef Rice Noodle Soup, which arrived piping hot. I carefully added all the ingredients and sides to the sizzling soup. I also had fried oysters that were crispy and tender. The portion was generous, and the price was reasonable. The service was warm and efficient. The soup was incredibly tasty and delicious! I can’t think of anything better noodle soup at such an affordable price. It’s a fantastic bargain!“

“The food is truly delicious and the portions are quite generous. Their vegetable spring rolls are the freshest and most delicious. Cucumber and garlic salad is definitely the best. Vegetable lo mein is super delicious. Their szechuan chicken and red peppers is very spicy but delicious. Beef sechuan very delicious. The service is professional, fast, and friendly. Emma was our hostess, she is extremely good, courteous, professional, and sweet. The place is nice, clean, but not fancy. .Most of the customers are Asians, proof it is very good. Definitely highly recommend, and definitely will go back again and again“

“I went to Jinlan for dinner while in the area for an event and it was so good I went back the next day. The restaurant is just big enough to fit the several tables, which is always a sign of good food. First I tried the dumplings and scallion pancakes, which were both phenomenal. Next day I tried dry noodles with chicken and long pepper, which was excellently spicy. If you're in the area you should consider this place and keep the owner Happy Busy!“

“Beautiful restaurant with friendly staff. We ordered the Dan Dan Spicy Noodles, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Green Beans with Pork and Vegetable Fried Rice. Everything was fresh and incredibly delicious with fresh unique flavors!! Absolutely recommend, highly recommend!“

“Today was my first day visiting Wonder North Bethesda and the experience did not disappoint! Jayla patiently walked me through the process of ordering on the kiosk and she explained every detail regarding the different food options. She was kind, professional and transparent. I’m looking foto enjoying this new gem in my neighborhood!“

“I had an incredible experience dining at Gong Fu 12 yesterday, and I have to say it has quickly become my favorite restaurant in the DMV area. They create a wonderful blend of flavors from both Northern and Southern Chinese cuisines, resulting in a diverse menu full of exciting dishes. The quality of the food is exceptional, and I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices for such delicious meals. It's a place where you can truly indulge in a culinary adventure! You will appreciate me for introducing you to this excellent restaurant.“

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

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

“I come here every other Thursday and get the Singapore noodles, bok choy spicy salty fish fillet egg drop soup sometimes the wonton soup And it never disappoints me. Definitely give this hidden gem a try and make sure you ask for Mike He is a wonderful, great spirit and is always happy and happy to answer any questions you may have and I promise the food is better if he’s serving you.“

“I ordered from here for the first time and the service was great! They made our food in a fair amount of time and the food tasted good. Their half and half iced tea lemonade was amazing. I ordered two of those after trying out a cup from one container.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Hong Kong-style Chinese cuisine with unique flavors and a wide variety of dishes that you won’t find at many other restaurants, this is the place to visit. The food is reasonably priced, making it an excellent choice for shoppers, neighbors, and members of the surrounding community to enjoy lunch or dinner on a regular basis.“

“I live in Richmond, Virginia, but I was fortunate enough to order the half a duck from your establishment and I wish I would’ve ordered a whole duck. It was fantastic. I loved it. I can’t wait to visit again and buy a whole duck maybe two.“

“This was my second visit to a Yu Noodles. I also went to the location in Columbia. I again was very impressed with the depth of the broth, the spiciness, and overall quality.

My to go order also came out fairly quickly. If you are near a Yu Noodles, don't miss out.“

“Panda Wok — Hands Down the Best Local Value
If you are looking for the best bang-for-your-buck Chinese carryout in the area, look no further than Panda Wok. The C6 Spare Ribs Chinese Special Combination Platter is an absolute standout, packed with a generous portion of ribs, roast pork fried rice, and an egg roll. As someone who eats a whole lot, I am consistently impressed by the size of their portions. They do not skimp out on the meat or the rice, and the food easily earns a perfect 5/5 for taste and value. I always end up having plenty of leftovers for the next day.
While the food steals the show, the service and atmosphere are a bit more average, sitting at a 3.5/5. It is a classic, no-frills carryout spot that gets the job done quickly, but you aren't coming here for a high-end dine-in vibe. One minor thing to keep in mind if you are ordering is that the parking lot can get pretty tricky and tight during busy peak hours.
Overall, I give Panda Wok a solid 4/5 stars. For the price, it is hands down the best Chinese carryout spot in the area, and it has officially secured its place as my go-to neighborhood favorite.“

“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 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!“

“The food was amazing however I asked for a lot of duck sauce and I also asked for no soy sauce no mustard in the bag but of course he put one duck sauce and 4!soy sauces that I don’t eat and mustard. I don’t eat that stuff. I asked him for all Duck Sauce simple instructions that weren’t followed Although the food was good, I would have enjoyed it more with my duck sauce that I asked for:( and they gave me a eggroll a shrimp eggroll with no duck sauce. I’m from New York and we like duck sauce other than that it’s all good I’ll give you guys another chance but do better and pay attention to peoples orders. Respectfully“

“I am writing to express my satisfaction with my recent visit last week. Our waiter, Andrew, was welcoming and significantly contributed to our experience. His attentiveness and his kind invitation for our group to use the karaoke room, elevated our visit to a memorable occasion. The food was exceptional, and I believe the pricing is reasonable given the quality. I will certainly be returning and recommending this establishment to others. Andrew, your service was truly outstanding.“

“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“

“The lunch special is a great value (~$10 for an entree, rice, soup, and a spring roll). The orange chicken was great. You can tell the sauce is homemade because it was filled with real orange peel. The chilis also provided just the right amount of subtle heat. Definitely one of the better orange chicken dishes I’ve had!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“A huge vegan/vegetarian menu! We had one of the best restaurant experiences, with so many delicious tapas and dim sum options- all you can eat!

Dorris was amazing! She helped us pick the best choices. We had authentic, home-cooked style Chinese food, while a few with a slight twist with newer ingredients that married beautifully together. Everything we tried hit all the right spots! The grandma noodles (at the other location, same as hand pulled chili oil noodle at this location)- absolute must try!

The best part was the feeling we got every time the servers brought food to our table. They were smiling and was proud to share those delicious dishes. It felt like we had gone to someone’s home and they were excited to share their food with us.“

“We love Lees Kitchen and have been coming here since it was a sit down restaurant! The original family is still there, making excellent dishes of all varieties. The egg rolls and soups are always great. We love the general tsos, Peking pork, lo mein, bbq roast pork, egg foo Young, beef n broccoli, sweet and sour anything but pork is our fave and so many other dishes. They always have special daily/weekly dishes available. Honestly everything is good. Every time I worry about trying a new dish (my own issue), I at least like it, which is not the case at other places, and often i really like or love them. They take care in their food and it shows in the taste!“

“Wonder North Bethesda is new, but they’re already doing such a great job! We ordered from both Pop Salad and Streetbird, and everything was really good. The salads were fresh, filling, and made exactly how we ordered them, and the chicken tenders and mac & greens from Streetbird were sooo good.

I also love that everyone can order from different restaurants but still pick everything up together in one place. The whole process was quick and easy, our food was ready on time, and the staff was friendly. Definitely a great new addition to the area—we’ll absolutely be back!“

“Of the three main Chinese Restaurants in Wheaton, I rank this one the best. Especially good are vegetable dishes including tofu and Chinese broccoli. The roasted pork is also excellent. Prices are moderate, dishes averaging $20 each. The fish filet dishes are fairly tasty, perhaps a little too spicy and a bit overcooked. Overall, this is a good place for parties up to ten, with a couple of large round tables and a lazy Susan, accommodating families up to 9. There is also a large variety of authentic Mandarin cuisine such as pork belly. The hot and sour soup is quite excellent.“

“This place has been around for a while and the food is always good. Their lunch menu is good and the dinner options are just as good. It’s mainly good for takeout and delivery. You can dine in but it’s only 2 tables and it’s not server style, you order at the counter and they bring your food out but it helps to call in advanced so you don’t wait around.“

“We had Woodlands cater our June 2026 wedding and they did a fantastic job! The food was absolutely delicious (lots of options to choose from) and very reasonably priced. The staff (including bartender) were very professional and attentive.

We would highly recommend for anyone looking for affordable, vegetarian catering. Make sure to bring Tupperware for your leftovers!“

“This place has the most authentic Shanghai food in DMV. Well if you argue it should be from your mom's kitchen then you win. I am just comparing this with Shanghai Taste and Bob66. (Shanghai lounge and Nanxiang has nothing to do with Shanghai food from my humble opinion.)
Back to the business. If you are fine with any dishes being sweet then I suggest give everything a try. Something you may find weird, but it is just how things are done in Shanghai. If you want something salty you can get Fuzhu 腐竹 or Moyu魔芋， both are nice cold dishes. But I still suggest Kaofu 烤麸, Lajiang 辣酱 and Ribs小排 even you don't have sweet teeth. Meatball 狮子头 are nice to try as well, and Shenjian生煎 is a must try - I served Shenjian to my parents who still live in Shanghai when they came and they gave a positive feedback.“

“Spring Garden is a hidden gem in the heart of Silversprings MD located in the DMV area. They are walking distance from the Redline Metro. The food has a unique blend of Asian Fusion from Chinese, Sushi , Omakase and Rao Food. The Sushi chef is renowned and makes customers orders . They even offer delivery!

“The shrimp with broccli is really good, no need to add soy sauce at all! I always get it a lil spicy, it gives it a kick! The wings are really good too and not all hormone injected looking!🤣! They just need to make their mumbo sauce a lil thicker and flavorful, its a bit watery! Overall their food is on point! The fried rice is good as well!

Update
They musta read this because the sauce is thicker and a lil more flavor was added! ❤️ Price is always on point pretty much what I expected not too high!“
