50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Elkridge

“outstanding food and service 🙂“

“Best steamed dumplings and wonton soup/egg drop wonton soup around. Dumplings are made in house and are full of meat. The wonton in the soup are full of meat too with a great broth. I haven’t been disappointed with anything there but those soup and dumplings are my go to dinner and it hits the spot every time.“

““Simply the best“ is the quote I think of when I think of Chopsticks! I discovered this restaurant 10+ years ago when we lived in Elkridge. If anything, the food has gotten better. Every entree that we ordered was top-notch. Chopsticks catered an event at my church. The food was great, and is great now. Eating out is way too expensive nowadays to waste your money on food that is subpar. Choice Chopstix!!!!!“

“Their food is really good. I've tried many other places and they are the best.“

“They're my go-to local Chinese takeout. Consistently delicious, affordable, very friendly owners, large portions, great vegan options - they even have an entire vegan section of the menu, which is impressive for a small counter takeout place. My favorites are the Mapo Tofu, Meatless Sesame Chicken, and Vegetable Fried Rice. Get it!!“

“The food was piping hot when it arrived at the table. 2 General Tso's plates, Gyoza, and Shumai. The Shumai wasn't that great, but that was due to personal issues with food textures. However, the the items were absolutely great! The General Tso's chicken could be spicier, but that's also a personal preference. 5/5 across the board.“

“We specially drove an hour from DC to come here. We ordered a cold appetizer, sesame liangpi, saozi noodles, and water-basin lamb soup. These are all very authentic Xi’an specialties. Everything was delicious, and it was absolutely worth the drive!“

“We had such a great experience! Our server, Bryan was amazing. He were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The service was excellent, and we never felt rushed or forgotten about. He definitely made our dining experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The $36 weekend buffet (Saturday & Sunday, 11 AM–3 PM) is wonderful, featuring over 50 authentic and delicious small dishes. The only disappointment was the fried eggplant with salted egg yolk. If you prefer larger portions, they also offer their regular menu.“

“The noodle soup was so flavorful and was perfect! I had the signature dish Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup with thin noodles. The noodles are hand pulled and made fresh every day and you can tell by the excellent texture and flavor! My new favorite restaurant! Also we were honored by four songs excellently played on the baby grand piano. Thank you for a delightful dinner, perfect service, and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend Chopin Noodle House and look forward to trying more dishes on the menu. ❤“

“This is a very authentic Yunnan style noodle spot. I'm Chinese and this style of cuisine was new even to me and my dinner party. If you like spicy food, then you should come here. If not, just be sure to ask your servers for help. It's a very casual spot, and there were a lot of families eating here. The noodles were very good, and all of the ingredients and toppings were fresh. If you are new to Chinese food or looking for more of the standards (e.g. fried rice, beef and broccoli, etc.) then take a close look at the menu before coming here to make sure there will be something you like.“

“I ordered the Tonkotsu black garlic oil ramen, cucumber salad and a lamb skewer. Everything was very flavorful and fresh! I always wanted to try cucumber salad and for my first time I'm glad I choose Beyond Ramen and Kabob. I love the inside as well. Very cosy and set up nicely. Will definitely like to sit in one day. 10/10 highly recommend 👌🏿“

“The food was really delicious! When you go to eat here in person, you can tell its prepared fresh and you can hear and smell the food being cooked as youre waiting. On a personal note I appreciate the food not having a weird after taste like some other places have. The people were really sweet and this place definitely needs more customers! Highly recommend!“

“Food was delicious and straightforward. The wait time wasn’t too long, especially since you can start eating as soon as they roll out the cart of steamed and baked dishes. Highly recommend their duck and beef lo mein. Make sure to get their steamed Crystal Shrimp and steamed pork buns!“

“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.“

“Their services is great.“

“My husband and I come here often for date nights. We have an excellent experience every single time. The food is always incredible and the service outstanding even when it's busy. The vibe is calm, quiet, fun, and elegant. Highly recommend East Moon to those in the Ellicott City area!!!“

“(Ordered delivery) We did a Google search of near by places to eat. We decided to order from here and we are so glad we did. Food was plentiful and delicious. Made our family very happy! It was packed up very neat and organized! This will definitely be on our favorite list to order from! Thank you Bruce Lee Kitchen for an amazing meal!!“

“I called in my order on my drive home. The man that answered was kind and quick, and put in a special order for me to make sure I got what I requested. When I picked up, the cashier was so generous and gave us extra sauces and fortune cookies. The food was so good I didn’t even stop to take pictures. Portions were huge and still tasted great overheated. We got sesame chicken, shrimp with green beans, veg lo mein, and crab Rangoons. The crab Rangoons themselves made the meal - perfectly crispy and sweet and such a good deal on the price. Overall everything was under $60 (including a tip!), delicious, and lasted two of us 3-4 days. I’m newly local and so glad this place is so close.. we will definitely be ordering here often!“

“Golden Coast is my favorite Chinese spot near us! The owner, AiLing, is so sweet! Highly recommend trying the traditional Chinese menu, especially the black pepper chicken!“

“We love China taste in Ellicott city. The food is great. It is a carry out. Takeout store only. Portions are very good. Prices are reasonable. can order online or call in. They are not open on one day of the week. I can’t remember which day. So definitely double check to make sure they’re open before going. Otherwise I love this place. Here’s a picture of me just so you know this is a real review.“

“Tried them for the first time today and am sold. Best Chinese food my wife and I have tasted in ages, and we lived in NYC for 4 years. Singapore mei fun - excellent. Happy family - excellent. Combination fried rice - excellent. Shrimp egg rolls - best I've ever tasted, anywhere. Steamed dumplings - very good, but the wrapping was a bit thick and the sauce was a bit scanty. We look forward to trying many, many more selections. Great job!“

“Excellent food! The shrimp fried rice was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The old-school Chinese wings were crispy and cooked just right. The wonton soup had a rich, comforting broth and great flavor. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. Definitely some of the best classic Chinese takeout I’ve had in a while.“

“I’ll be honest, I was both excited and skeptical about trying Wonder when it first opened. The whole concept seemed a little strange to me, and I wasn’t sure how it would actually work. Since they were offering 50% off for first time customers when I went, I figured it was worth a try.

We ordered a pizza from Alanza, a double cheeseburger from Burger Baby, and a Build Your Own Bowl from El Diez. Funny enough, the burger, which was the item I was least excited about based on how it looked, ended up being my favorite. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The pizza was a little overdone, but I actually like my pizza that way, so no complaints there. The bowl was good too, though I felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe some extra lime or cilantro would have given it more of that fresh Mexican flavor.

I’d definitely come back and try some of the other restaurants they have. I also really liked the atmosphere. It was quiet, clean, and didn’t feel chaotic, which was nice. The kitchen area looked especially clean, which always leaves a good impression.

If you’ve been curious about Wonder and are looking to try something different, I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially while they’re offering 50% off for new customers. There’s a huge variety of food options, so it’s easy for everyone in your group to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and left more impressed than I expected to be.“

“My first time and was treated especially nice by the staff. The food was awesome and the experience will go in the books as one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at in MD ❤️“

“First time eating here and the food was great and they were super nice!“

“our server Michael at Gaithersburg MD has made our day and got say he turned our entire day around less not forget the food was amazing as well“

“The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. My sons especially loved the Double Lobster dish—it was their favorite! The roasted duck was also amazing and reminded me of the flavors of my homeland.
I truly hope you continue providing this wonderful food and outstanding service for many years to come.“

“I finally had the infamous Dirty Yak Spicy with shrimp and extra egg and….I enjoyed it! It was true to its word when they said spicy which I can appreciate. Once ya nose start running…..that’s how you know it’s hot! I like the noodle consistency and texture. The ratio of noodle to shrimp was good. It was well seasoned. Great portion size for the price. The wait time was prompt. No complaints here. Look forward to trying other items on the menu in the future.“

“I normally get the Young Chow fried rice and it probably the best in the area.
Their Chow Fun is also really good although sometimes it can be hit or miss.
Their chicken wings are ok, the breading has a nice crips and decent flavor but the chicken itself was bland.
Their Lo Mein was incredibly disappointing, it was bland to the point where I had to add soy sauce, sesame oil and MSG to make it taste decent.“

“Great food and fresh!!! We came back to columbia just to have lunch there :) haven’t lived there in over20 years“

“Great food, they have many different options. The gravy and sauces they use are perfect. They are very friendly and provided an exceptional experience.

I tried their sushi, crab Rangoon and donuts.

Stop by and try this great food“

“I read the reviews on Google and I said let's give it a try. It was more than one I could ask for, great egg rolls. They were huge and cooked perfectly, I enjoyed them very much😋 I have driven past here many times, so glad I googled and read the good reviews.“

“I absolutely love what this owner of this establishment is doing! Not only is his food great, his service is awesome! Hi children are also at the facility, and are well mannered, intelligent, and I absolutely respect what he is trying to accomplish! Kudos for all your efforts and I thought you should be recognized for them!“

“The food was delicious! Highly recommend hot crispy beef and the honey sesame eggplant!“

“Best wonton soup!! Nice dining experience, with friendly staff. Fast service, wonderful food.“

“The service, I respect it. Atmosphere is at peace to a point I can just sleep in here. I love the Zen Guzheng Melodies he is playing and all of the culture he brings strong into his business. I respect this guy. Down to earth. Best takeout food I’ve had , you can tell the guys really care about cooking. Also, the kitchen and the floors are cleaned“

“I been eating here for over 10 years, and the food never changed.always a 10/10 I done had a few different things from here. It’s that Hood Chinese food you looking for. Lot of action outside that’s why you call your order in and pick it up.“

“My friend got me food from here yesterday. My electricity was out., plus im kinda new to glen burnie. Well I got Szechuan shrimp and hot and sour soup. It was out of this world so many mushrooms and snow peas and the Srimp were huge. Hot and sour soup is my go to im a huge soup eater all year round. This was by far the best hot and sour soup ive eaten in years and I eat a lot of it. Good job guys ill definitely be back!“

“I've been coming here for about three years, and I can honestly say this has been one of the most consistent and reliable restaurants in the area. The food is always delicious, the portions are great, and our orders are always correct.

My personal favorites are the pork fried rice and the crab rangoons, both are amazing. My kids love the lo mein. No matter what we order, the quality is always top-notch.

As my family prepares to move away from the area, I wanted to take a moment to thank the staff for all the great meals and excellent service over the years. It's hard to find a restaurant that stays this consistent, and they've done it every single time. We will definitely miss this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Chinese food!Best of luck with your move, and I'm sure the restaurant will appreciate a review like that.“

“We drove down bmore just to get some Yak!

First time trying it and it was a sooooooo good!! Beef yak , extra onions and extra egg! Amazing! We will be back for the chicken yak.
The ride was definitely worth it!! Yummmyyy! My boyfriend and I ate it all and the bowls are HUGH!!! We will be back 😊“

“Egg foo young should not be CRUNCHY!!! Whoever made mine on the day of order had not mastered cracking eggs without mixing eggshells in... I asked for and received a full refund. Will never return. That experience was a violation I will not risk repeating.“

“Always good food and excellent service“

“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 love this place...stroll down to pick up my fresh fruits, veggies AND microgreens and juices from FarmerNell my son. (Who's dedicated in providing healthy-eating). I enjoy the atmosphere of the friendly staff, affordable prices. Fresh at the Avenue supporting the community is Awesome!!“

“**Edit 2026: still the best in the area. House wonton soup. Try it.**

Hidden gem! Food is always hot and fresh, and the staff is prompt and friendly. I've only ever dined in, so I can't comment on carryout. I usually get the beef & broccoli lunch plate. Shrimp toast is delicious; you can tell it's made fresh because it's not gross and soggy like other places that freeze it. In cold weather there's no better meal than their house special wonton soup. Just a great place. Modestly decorated; very clean.“

“For all my fried chicken lovers! This restaurant should absolutely be in your bag of choices.

I’ve had chicken in all its variants from all over Howard County and I find that their chicken is fantastically savory with a light, airy crispiness that gives off a similar sensation as biting into a kettle chip.

10/10 would recommend again for the weekend vibes 🙌“

“THE BEST VIET FOOD IN THE AREA.
Tried mara dumplings, wonton, bahn mi, cucumber salad, and pho.

All the food is very clean, msg free broth apparently, and you know the owner does not mess with the food quality.

Been to an roi, pho la cay,pho dat than, pho van, pho real, you name it. This place has the best quality of food hands down.“

“excellent service , great food, nice environment“

“Walked in on a whime while attending training for work. I was greeted, which is major to me. Even if they didn’t greet me I would have typed a review and left one Star. Nonetheless. I was greeted. I asked a few questions and they were answered. I made my order, got my food and was impressed. The pizza was soooo good. One slice was definitely enough for me. Price was great as well. Will definitely pay them a visit again. Keep up the great work.“
