“Tried for the first time last night on a whim and really liked the dishes. My only plight as the portion sizes were so large and we ordered two dishes so we had lots of extras of the same thing. Next time will definitely ordered one dish to share, or two different ones to have more variety. Was a little overpriced. Paid $100 for two dishes and two bar drinks.“

“The lady at the counter was super nice, got me my food as soon as it was ready. I got the general Tso’s chicken. Portions were very large and the chicken was super crispy and flavorful. When I was leaving she offered me a soda from the fridge. I don’t know if it was part of the meal but I did not read that so it felt like a kind gesture. Amazing service with good food. Only complaint is there is no dining area. Even a few tables would be nice for taking someone out to eat. Great resturant“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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. ❤“

“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!“

I ordered from Hong’s Taste for my Chinese neighbors, and they absolutely loved it! The flavors were authentic, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The portions were generous, and the presentation was spot on. It’s not easy to impress my neighbors when it comes to Chinese food, but Hong’s Taste exceeded expectations. The service was smooth and timely, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious Chinese cuisine!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First-time customer- I got steamed pork dumplings and hot crispy chicken. The dumplings and sauce were so delicious that I ate all of them before eating my entree (which was good also!) The fortune cookie was still warm-- they must make it themselves! Comparing to other Chinese restaurants, the prices were great.“

“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.“

“This place is small and no one else dined in when we were there, but the phone rang off the hook and the doorbell often sounding. The most significant detail I want to mention is the portion size. WOW! I’ve never gotten so much food for my money at a Chinese restaurant. The food is literally served in glass pie plates, to give you an idea of size. It was tasty, too! Many vegetarian options. Veggies were crisp and not overcooked too, which is another great plus!“

“I was new to the area and had no idea where anything was located. But I knew that this place was right around the corner. They would take my order (same thing : general Tsos chicken and white rice) within 10 mins before closing several times for me. I was so appreciative….considering they are often open late when everything else is closed. They tried to refuse a cash tip until I said I would never return if they didn’t accept it lol.
Which was a total lie. I would return regardless. Just writing this review is making me consider placing another order ? the foods great
Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions I wouldn’t recommend eating Chinese food.
Parking: Parking is limited because there’s so many little establishments but it’s not impossible to find a spot. You just need to pay close attention for one that’s available.
Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t want to eat Chinese food? I mean it’s not Chuck-E-Cheese so it’s not a restaurant equipped with a children’s play area. And it’s set up as a quick, come and go. But the food itself is kid friendly.
Wheelchair accessibility: You can access the establishment via wheelchair“

“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 (Wantons, Pork, 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! ?❤“

“I came in and asked if they did indoor seating. The lady said they normally do 99% take out but was very accommodating and let me sit and eat inside. I ordered the spring rolls and Peking chicken dinner. The spring rolls were crispy and a prefect light golden brown. The Peking chicken had a nice hint of heat that left my lips tingling. Overall, the food was amazing but 4 stars for atmosphere since I got water bottles and half of the dining area is used for supplies. But that makes sense if 99% of their business is take out.“

“Ordered lunch today and it was delicious! Perfectly seasoned and large portions. We ordered takeout, shortly after my husband picked up we received a call letting us know something was missing and they’d deliver it right away. They didn’t have to do that, but went out of their way to make sure we were happy customers and we absolutely are!“

“I have been going to this restaurant for many years (10+) the food is delicious and reasonably priced. My favorites are the fried chicken wings, curry shrimp, shrimp egg foo young, crab rangoons, basically everything is good, especially the sugar donuts and half and half tea. The young lady taking the orders is always pleasant and accurate. Bamboo is the go to spot.“

I ordered a large and it was enough to split with someone. Excited to come back and try more things! I’ve heard their drunken noodles are really good.
Lots of parking available. Must try!“
