50 Best Chinese Restaurants near District Heights

“Soulwok's food is delicious and they have great customer service. I understand there's a good lunch special too. I particularly enjoyed the cream cheese wonton, Singapore noodles, the wingettes, and fried rice. Nice portions as well. Yup, I plan on going again soon.“

“This place is in competition with two other fast food places. It was the first one there and will be there when the rest of them are gone. The food is average at best but trying the other two places you'd do yourself an injustice. STOP check out the food it's what you get for your money“

“This was my first time coming to this panda location and I have to say I’m impressed. The worker JT definitely succeeded in service. He was quick and had a great attitude which made me feel welcomed to the establishment. Keep up the good work the orange chicken is the best !“

“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.“

“I love these soup dumplings! We get the frozen ones to have on hand all the time and the fresh ones are a delicious snack when you’re there.

You have to order on your own and take a number and then it’s in the back of the market which is why I’m giving 4 stars for service and atmosphere but definitely try these!!“

“Amazing food great bartender Oscar!!! A win is a win and i highly recommend!!! Ian the manager is a friend you didn’t know you would make!!“

“Soupy Dumpling & Fancy Cuppa is my new go-to spot for comfort food. The soup dumplings are perfectly juicy and flavorful, the spicy beef noodle soup has a rich, satisfying broth with just the right kick, and the mango bubble tea is refreshing and not overly sweet. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. The place is cozy, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a visit! Oh they have robots running around so can be fun with kids.“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“Been scouting this place for about 3 weeks for a birthday dinner. I called over a week in advance for a party of 7 - 13 people. They were able too accommodate and the food was GOOOOOD! That hotpot was smokin and I thought I choose a milder one but it was excellent in taste for me. Now this was the first time I have had it so don't come at me if it doesn't hit you taste buds the same.“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

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

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

“The food was very tasty and quality of service was excellent“

“My first time here and it did not disappoint. The food came out so fast and fresh. The server was really sweet and the atmosphere is really chill. Plus the prices are really appropriate for the amount of food! 10/10! Definitely about to be my new fave spot! I’ll be back for the seafood boil next!“

“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.“

“Hhheeeyyyy FF. Dropped in for one thing and one thing only. Had a mad taste for a carryout steak and Cheese. This spot met my pilot. Hot, juicy, the extra mayo and onions complimented the steak and the soft roll. Fries were crisp and hot. This is an (RTS) Return to Spot.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This location has good customer service and the food is good. The egg foo young was no longer a favorite because it was not good. You can tell when a good cook is no longer preparing the food in that kitchen in the restaurant. Now it is much better. Just visited 3 days ago.“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

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

“We were on our trip to DC. By chance I pulled into the parking lot to check GPS. The wife suggested we grab a quick bite. The food was very decent. The waitress was not rude, but not polite either. Maybe that’s the thing with Chinese, we are not warm to our own kind.“

“Takeout only. Cash only. You can call ahead to place a pickup order. Wide variety of food options. It's delicious, great size portions, and the prices aren't bad. This is the only Chinese food I eat within the DMV, I will, and I have traveled over an hour to get food from them.“

“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 ??‍♀️“

“Panda Cafe is the only Chinese restaurant I go to—and for good reason! The food is always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious😋. The staff are incredibly kind and polite, and the service is impressively fast. The restaurant is clean, and they package everything so well for takeout. I genuinely love this place. Thank you for the amazing service and consistently great food! I used to live 3 min away from here, now I live about 25min away but I still always come here💙!“

“If you’re looking for the best takeout in the DMV, this spot is it! Their mumbo sauce is hands down some of the best in the area—perfectly sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor. The fried chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and pairs perfectly with the sauce.
I also tried the General Tso’s chicken, and it did not disappoint. Unlike some places where the chicken is overcooked and chewy, theirs was tender, juicy, and coated in just the right amount of sauce. Every bite had the perfect balance of crunch and flavor.
Whether you’re craving classic carryout flavors or just want to experience top-tier mumbo sauce, this place delivers. Fast service, great portions, and food that hits every time—definitely a go-to takeout spot in the DMV!“

“My favorite part about this experience was the karaoke had every song you could imagine, the rooms were sizable, and the drinks were relatively affordable we had a group of perhaps 12 and the room was able to be split amongst all of us. Reserve in advance!“

“I often take my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the food there is delicious and the crew is generous and cooperative. Every time we go to this place we enjoy a pleasant time. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“the best.. all love DC Print KING..“

“I ordered on UberEats yesterday after seeing a TikTok review on them. 10/10 would recommend. I ordered 4wings with mumbo sauce, shrimp egg roll, and shrimp and broccoli. Everything was bomb. Best mumbo sauce in the city hands down. I could tell by the color it was going to be fire! Wings were seasoned and good. Shrimp and broccoli was torch. Shrimp egg roll actually had a nice amount of shrimp. Everything was so goood. Only carry out I’m going to from now on.“

“We ordered food 3weeks ago as this is our definite go to place for Chinese food. Best carryout cuisine that we’ve ever found in the DMV. The customer service is great! The food is delicious! We’ve been coming here for many years so they know our orders to a T. The vegetable egg foo young, beef egg foo young(the gravy is made fresh daily and is very tasty), General Tso chicken, beef and broccoli, chicken/beef with mixed vegetables, wings and fries, steak and cheese have all been good. Clean establishment and friendly atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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“

“It’s a staple on my list of comfort places to go. I usually deal with Stephanie and shes always courteous. The food is also usually consistently good.

Came in today and my order included 5 wings split. Tina made it a meal and I didn’t notice till I got home. There was a bit of a misunderstanding when I called in regarding it but she took my name and number and will provide a credit next time I’m in so that was resolved. This review is to keep them accountable for the next time I’m in the restaurant since I don’t know when that’ll be next.

Also, the place is REALLY clean. Love that for all of us“

“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!“

“The food is very enjoyable. Better than the others within a few blocks of this location. The egg rolls are huge but they do a good job with the pork so it's tasty. They use the same pork in the fried rice. I enjoyed the star-shaped crab Rangoon these are better than most carryout restaurants. The Gen Tso Chicken was sweet and crispy. Overall, I had a good experience and I'll order from them again next time I happen to want Chinese food while in this area.“

“Kenny’s is a really solid carry out. The food is good. Not a ton of space to sit, which is typical of most Chinese food spots in this region. What stands out most about Kenny’s is the service. Unlike others, they don’t treat their customers like criminals, or like they’re afraid of us. The door to the back area is frequently opened. The employees greet me with a smile every time and ask me how my day is going. They remember me. They’re really kind and respectful, and as a black man, it’s rare to get that kind of service at a carry out. They usually just yell and poke food through bullet proof glass like they’re feeding sharks. It’s great to be treated like a fellow human being. I recommend the donuts. They’re super addictive!“

“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.“

“A+. Inexpensive and authentic. Was shocked it wasn’t packed on the 4th of July. So hard to find good Mongolian BBQ and this place didn’t disappoint.“

“On my way into DC, I got takeout from Panda Express. On the way back home, I stopped at Wok-A-Holic in Union Station. The latter was decidedly much better—Wok-A-Holic’s orange chicken and broccoli chicken were far superior to Panda’s serviceable but bland orange chicken and broccoli beef. The fried rice was just okay, but overall I was pretty satisfied with the quality of my quick takeout meal.“

“Got wings and fries with extra mumbo on everything and sauce on the side. She opened the platter in front of me and put the sauce on the hot wings and fries in front of me so I could see it was extra. Crispy fries crispy chicken mild mumbo that’s not super sweet and it’s actually mumbo and not sweet and sour sauce. and not watery at all. Will definitely be going back.“

“To go order large Shrimp Egg Fu Yung with Xtra onions and bean sprouts. When I tell y'all that I tasted one onion and no bean sprout! That's exactly what I tasted zippo! Basically those two things missing makes this dish very bland!“

“China Cafe is torch hands down!! They got that good bright red mumbo sauce. Anything fried always fresh. Fish sandwich like that and steak nd cheese bomb. Im sure the other food is good too, but those are just my go to’s. The staff is friendly and respectful to the community. Yall go getchu some!!“

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

“Awesome food and service, the food is as authentic Chinese as you can get.“

“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!“

“Everything👍🏽 Fresh, hot, not oily. From ordering to take out was less than 20 mins.“

“The soup is amazing!! The soup does have a hint of lemon flavor, with orzo rice, chunks of chicken, carrots, and other vegetables in it. The pork chop meal is really good, especially when Ms. Karimi submits my special request!! The orzo rice is extremely soft, very good, and flavorful. The roasted potatoes are dangerously good and seasoned well. On Gyro Wednesday the gyros are $6.00. The tzaiki sauce is excellent to the taste, and pairs very well on the Greek salad, pork chops, and best with the roasted garlic potatoes!!!

Parking: Pay extremely close to where you park, and when you park due to the varied parking restrictions in the city.“

“I was browsing through Chinese places and I came across Lucky Star. I must say, that this place exceeded my expectations. In the past, Ive tried other Chinese places and the concerns I've had were the food isn't hot its always warm or cold and that the taste of the food decreased. So I gave lucky star a try and I got the Steak & Cheese sub with an order of fries. Upon receiving my food, the lady who is always at the counter is so kind and she greets you with a friendly attitude and she even recognizes returning customers which is also a plus. Also, the food is. fresh and hot when you receive it and the food even tastes delicious!. So, if you're looking for a chinese place to go with great food, I recommend Lucky Star.“

“I’ve visited many Chinese restaurants in DC over the years, but one spot stands out above the rest. For a project I’ve been working on, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a small, family-owned establishment run by a dedicated couple. Their commitment to cleanliness and high standards in their kitchen is truly remarkable, setting them apart in an industry where standards can sometimes vary.

Speaking with patrons, I’ve learned that many have been loyal customers for over 18 years—a testament to the consistency and quality of this restaurant. Everyone raves about how fresh and clean the food is, and how the owner, especially, goes above and beyond to help her regulars, all while keeping prices affordable.

Everything I’ve tried from the menu has been outstanding, from the perfectly cooked chicken wings—a staple in DC—to the flavorful chow mein and fried rice. Every dish reflects the care and attention they put into their craft.

This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gem worth recognizing for its excellent food, warm hospitality, and unwavering commitment to its customers.
