Chinese Restaurants near Hanover

“Love this place! Haven't eaten here for years ever since I moved to another state but I'm glad we came here for dim sum when I was in the area. We arrived 15 minutes before opening time on 11am on a Sunday morning and were almost immediately seated. There were already some people eating. Immediately after being seated, the food carts started coming by with a large variety of steaming hot dishes. Food was steaming hot and delicious! The waiter was very attentive, stopping by often to serve us hot tea, iced water, drop off the soy sauce and chili oil when requested, and pick up the empty dishes. The food carts also came by frequently in case we wanted to get more dishes. By 11:10am there was a line of people waiting for a free table. We finished our meal in record time by 11:30. Excellent service! Will come by again when I'm in the area.

Edit 10/6/24:
Had a severe craving for dim sum after coming back from Europe. Arrived 11:30am on Sunday and was seated pretty quickly. Ordered our favorites: beef stew, siumai, sharkfin, stuffed bean curd, sticky rice, etc. The server for our area was really quick with tea, waters, chili oil, picking up empty steamer baskets and dishes, bringing us any extra food to take home, extra take home containers, and getting our bill at the end. If the envious people at home hadn't put in last minute take home orders, we would have been in and out within 30 minutes.“

“I luv this place for carryout lunch. I usually get the tofu and mixed vegetables (2 orders), and it's always fresh and delicious. You can look from the counter you order from back in the kitchen and always see tons of fresh produce being prepared. The staff has always been friendly, and the quantity and quality is quite good for the price.Prices took a jump of about $1 on a previous $8 order , but that's typical inflation I guess. otherwise food is quite reasonable.“

“Sukihana was amazing the staff was very nice and friendly and the food was delicious! Great staff and great service one of my favorite places to eat in the mall“

“We partnered with this establishment many times in catering/festivals and has truly been a successful partnership. Yunnan Asian cuisine is a bit difference from our usual Cantonese Asian cuisine however, Water Song has always exceeded our expectation with their authentic ingredients.“

“No sitting but oh man, great food, the fold the rangoons correctly. Non of that weird triangle bs. There's real and imitation crab in there. Rice came fresh fried with bean sprouts. Broccoli was also fresh steamed and the sesame chicken was delicious. Def coming back when I visit again.“

“The food is very good. Had the Peking duck which was excellent. Also good was the scallion pancake, green beans. The special house made garlic sauce is excellent. Service was slow and inattentive. The place was very loud making conversation difficult.“

“This place is, hands down, the best Chinese food I've ever had. The service was amazing and so kind! I've always loved Mei Fun, but Golden Coast has out done themselves with this meal. Great portions and it was so flavorful! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“Amazing place for some authentic Halal Chinese cuisine! We tried Hakka lomein spicy, shrimp fried rice and both were delicious! The service was amazing and owners r very friendly and accommodating.

First time we went there for lunch dine in, the owner gave us free desi chai on the house and second time, the owner gave us drinks on the house.

We're hooked to this place and my wifey and I plan to eat here at least once I week!“

“Jessica the owner is super nice and really cares about her customers, always a great time“

“I ordered lo mien and won ton soup and I would say they both have a different taste than what I’m used to. It’s not as mid as mall Asian food, as the noodles are actually normal size. Lots of scallions in the soup, which I like! But the won ton dough itself was hard, not soft at all.“

“The gyozas were some of the best we ever had and the service was outstanding. However, the menu can be a bit confusing for newcomers. Both our noodle dishes were tasty (one with beef and the other one with fish). Somehow, the noodles felt a bit overcooked. May be that’s the way they were supposed to be but we prefer them firmer. We will be back to try other dishes.“

“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.“

“Nestled in a bustling shopping center alongside Honey Pig, Chin Xi'an Style Restaurant is a hidden gem that specializes in handpulled, numbing Szechuan noodles.

During our Saturday lunch visit, the restaurant was buzzing with activity. Limited seating means you might have to wait 5-10 minutes for a table during peak times, but trust me, it’s worth it. The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, perfect for a quick meal.

We started with the 12 Hour Stewed Pork Hand Pulled Noodles and the Spicy Pork Noodles, alongside the “you pick 3” cold dishes: dried tofu skin, sweet heat cabbage, and shredded potatoes. We couldn’t resist adding a Spicy Cumin Beef Murger, served in a crisp baked flatbread.

The handpulled noodles were undeniably the highlight. Each strand was perfectly al dente, with just the right amount of chew. The stewed pork noodles stole the show—flavorful, tender, and the kind of comfort food that warms your soul. The spicy pork noodles were a bit of a letdown in comparison; while enjoyable, they lacked the bold flavor profile that made the stewed pork so memorable.

The cold dishes were a delightful accompaniment. The crunchy texture of the shredded potatoes and sweet heat cabbage provided a refreshing contrast to the chewy noodles. They added a nice touch of variety to our meal.

As for the Murger, it was decent. The cumin flavor was prominent and well-executed, making it a satisfying choice to round out our meal.

Overall, Chin Xi'an is an excellent spot for those craving authentic Szechuan flavors. The noodles are the star, and with a few tweaks to some dishes, this place could easily elevate itself to must-visit status. If you find yourself in Ellicott City, make sure to stop by for a taste of their handpulled noodles—you won’t regret it!

Vegetarian options: several vegetarian options

Parking: plenty of adjacent lot parking

Kid-friendliness: menu is somewhat friendly to kids as long as they like noodles

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant can get a little cramped at peak hours for a wheelchair. No stairs present is a plus“

“The dry fried cauliflower, pork soup dumplings and hot n sour duck soup were all utterly amazing!“

“Can not say enough good things about this place. The food is always delicious and tastes fresh, and the service is always prompt and pleasant.
Their bartender, Erick, is on point. Amazing drinks, attentive, and you can tell he really cares about his customers.
Oh! And you have to try the dumplings! 😋“

“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. ❤“

“originally went to Asian bistro to find dinning room was closed and was very happy because this place was fresh and wonderful. a new great fin6“

“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!“

“The lady owner who usually takes my order and her son who helps, are always nice and friendly. The general tso chicken is good. However, sometimes I may have 1 to 2 pieces of chicken that are too chewy and the sauce is sweet to me, even though it is supposed to be spicy.

I usually ask they make mine very spicy. They are accommodating too. I like their pork fried rice with extra onions and vegetable lo mein. The spareribs tips are okay. The scallion pancake tasted okay too, but it was dense and not soft. Overall, I find it to be a very good place for Chinese food.“

“We came on vacation and we where just really craving chinese food. Looked for the closest one and what a great restaurant this is. We ordered delivery for 4 people and the lady on the phone was very patient and thoughtful.
The food was amazing and fresh, if you're tired from a long day of traveling this guys are the best. The combos are an absolute deal for what you get.“

“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.“

“Delicious sushi, sesame chicken and ribs. Everybody loved their meal. However, the greatest joy was the music Saturday night... lots of classic rock and acoustic folk. There was no advertisement for the music, but it's worth checking if it is happening before you go. Typical Chinese restaurant setting, lots of regulars, and popular among the locals“

“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!“

“After I moved from Owings to the city I struggled with finding a good Chinese spot and I must say I tumbled across this place after trying many others and I can honestly say the food is so good this is my second time ordering from here and the first time I ordered chicken egg foo young, and sweet and sour chicken and both times my food have arrived piping hot. Not a lot of Chinese restaurants can’t make egg foo young right with the dark thick gravy so when I find a spot that does make it good I always say the rest of their food is good but you won’t be disappointed if you order.“

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

“Whenever you move, it’s hard to find places that remind you of home. Having lived in NJ, we always had a lot of great American-Chinese restaurants.

This place reminded of what I ordered back home.

Wonton soup, chicken and broccoli, beef on a stick, chicken lo mein, chicken fried rice.

THE DUMPLINGS WERE HUGE! I wasn’t ready for it but also very good.

I highly recommend this place for take out.“

“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 favorite Chinese delivery. We call ON THE PHONE (no need to install an app), pay CASH, get wonderful, quick service, and enjoy a fresh, hot, tasty meal. Old school and really yummy. I find the dumpling wraps too thick, but the fam love them, and every other dish is good.“

“Stopped by Panda City for a quick bite and was not disappointed. I ordered the fried rice and a 5-piece fried chicken wing combo and they nailed both.

The fried rice was flavorful without being greasy, with the right amount of seasoning and a nice mix of veggies. The real standout, though, was the fried chicken wings. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and fried to perfection — easily some of the best wings I’ve had from a carryout spot.

Service was quick, prices were solid, and everything came out fresh. If you're craving carryout with consistently good flavors, Panda City is a solid go-to. Highly recommend!“

“I wanted to try a new place. So, I got the General Tso's chicken combo with pork fried rice and a shrimp egg roll. I absolutely loved the fried rice with the little bean sprouts in it. My shrimp egg rolls were full of shrimp. And my chicken was very good too.

It tasted good cold later on, too.“

“This place has been in the same spot since I was a child I'm 36 now and this is a landmark for me right on the corner of Roland Ave and 41st Street can't miss it must go to spot the classic feel because it has never had an update so busy making great food for wonderful customers enjoy

Vegetarian options: They will make any meal they have for you into what you would like so around on their menu can potentially come as a vegetarian meal“

“My review might be different if I went for lunch instead of dinner, as it was relatively empty and some things interesting characters came in and wandered the restaurant while we were eating.

First, and most importantly, the food was incredible. We ordered a bunch of dim sum, and a scallion and egg fried rice. Overall, we ordered the pork soup dumplings, shrimp shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, beef pastry, gluttonous, rice, Chinese burger and the scallion and egg fried rice.

The food was delicious, especially the shrimp shumai, the beef pastry, and the fried rice.

The staff was friendly, but unattentive unless prompted by me, but it could’ve just been an awful night.

Will definitely be back for the food, but likely for takeout“

“Great place. Came there since I was a baby and they still remember me. Good hearted people. Let me get a free soda for being a good customer. My relationship with them is wonderful. Food there tastes awesome. Won’t get Chinese food anywhere else. Highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Love kids. They might give them a treat or a soda.“

“Always good food and excellent service“

“We had ate at other places in arbutus but this is dure the best one you can see them cook your food and the wo.an cashier is very nice the chef cooks the food as we like it very understanding thank you guys for picking arbutus we look forward of eating great food“

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

“First time eating today , I really wanted some YAKAMIEN! It’s season well but the only thing I wish ( it was darker and greasy ?) it be so good that way . I will go back to get more and I’m glad they answer the PHONE QUICK! I called my order in rather me sitting in my car in a dark area .I wish they had this in the COUNTY ! Just a FYI, I literally have to drive 30 mins for this and it’s worth it.“

“I've been ordering from here since 2002 and hands down, it is THE BEST Chinese food in MD!! And that's saying something because I am very picky about food. The owners have been the same for all these years. I drive 20 minutes each way just to pick up dinner. The food is always fresh and piping hot! From their egg rolls and BBQ Spare Ribs, the Subgum Wanton Soup (Ground Pork filled Wantons, Pork strips, Chicken and Shrimp with a variety of vegetables in yummy chicken broth...fantastic on chilly nights), to my favorite sweet and savory Beef with Garlic Sauce, Sweet & Sour dishes, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce and very flavorful Fried Rice (several varieties) or ANY entree for that matter, everything is always SO delicious and they are very generous with their portions! Prices are competitive and reasonable. I love this place and hope they will be around for years to come! 😋❤“

“What time do they open always try to get food but not sure of the time it’s completely different then online time“

“I am trying to figure out how to post a picture of how the owner who makes all the food blessed me. For 12 bucks flat I got shrimp with mixed vegetables the shrimp are huge and so many really allot and fresh veggies and fried rice too . Taste great, great value and a sweet hard working woman and her family run this place. It's a great place will post Pic once I figure it out will post Pic where photos of the place are can't figure out how to attach here

Vegetarian options: They will make your meal exactly as requested.

Parking: Street and lot by restaurant

Kid-friendliness: Kids are there helping out so it's definitely family friendly but it's not a dine in.

Wheelchair accessibility: Nothing obscuring a wheel chair.“

“This was my first time here, staff great, very clean.the food was great and well worth the money. Thanks

Parking: That parking is very bad, I wish they could move to a nicer place.

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see any people park were they want, and I need the handi cap“

“I haven't bought Chinese food in years but I remember an ex loved the food from this place so craving some shrimp egg foo young with fried vegetable rice I went and was very pleased they don't take CC BUT! they do take cash app so that made the experience a new one free young guys may hang around the store FREQUENTLY but they don't be on nothing think they have some mutual respect for the owner and the owner of the store pretty friendly so don't be put off food is real good store is clean if you haven't give them a shot“

“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“

“I would give 5starts , the food was great and made pretty fast. But I've accidentally left something important yesterday and I went back today to speak with someone. But they was closed today and it's not advertised that they are closed on Sundays.“

“Their services is great.“

“Best Chinese food in Baltimore! I know that's not saying much in this city, but it's a great hidden gem. Don't be fooled by the janky candy window up front - the food is dank. (Cash omly but there's an ATM across the street.)“

“My son would still order from here, even he moved far away. Excellent food!“

“Used to come here to get shrimp fried rice a few years ago, and got addicted to it for a while. Then I forgot about them, and haven’t been in a few years. Wanted a chicken box last night, and Laus was the closest that was open, and it ended up being the best 4 wings and fries I’ve had in while. Fries fried hard and seasoned. The wings fried to perfection and seasoned, and it was less than $10. The lady made my order exactly how I wanted it and she was very polite too. Probably be the spot I’ll be getting my chicken boxes from, from now on.“

“Picked up carry out for some guys. The food was pretty good, but just above average, all in all the experience was pleasant. The food was ready for me to pick up. There was no waiting. The ambience of the store is awesome. Makes me feel like I travel back to time when fine Chinese dining was a thing.“
