18 Best Chinese Restaurants near Monrovia

“When my family moved to this area over 15 years ago, this place was recommended to us. Still, after all this time, this is the only Chinese place in the area that I will order from, after sampling many in the area (Frederick/MoCo). They have the best hot and sour soup in the area. Actually flavorful. The cream cheese wontons are different, not as crispy as you would expect, but the flavor is great. veggies are always fresh and crunchy, never overcooked. Both the more traditional dishes and the Americanized dishes have great flavors. Food is always ready fast.“

“They say never judge a book by its cover, and this spot is a prime example why. Its located in a small space/shop but they deliver big portions and even bigger flavor. My wife and I visited this spot for the 1st time and ordered the scallion pancakes, Vegetable and Tofu stir fry, and Roast Duck noodle soup. Everything was great and portions were very generous. This will definitely be one of our go to spots in the future and highly recommend.“

“food wash fresh and good !!“

“I just finished reading VERA WONG'S UNSOLICITED ADVICE FOR MURDERERS, and all the food Vera makes had me Googling the best place for Chinese Buns, since I've never had any before and the food in the book made me so hungry! There aren't any places near me, so we drove 40 minutes out to Frederick to eat at THE UGLY DUMPLING, and it did not disappoint! The food was AMAZING! I got the UD Bun sampler to try all the different buns Vera makes in the novel, and my kids wanted the Chicken Stir Fry Noodles. My husband ordered Orange Chicken and Fried Rice with Chicken, and we also ordered some Spring Rolls. When I tell you it was more food than I expected, I mean our table was overflowing! I tried the Taro, Mushroom, BBQ, Custard, and Scallion Buns, and Scallion and Custard were my favorite--my 2 year old loved them, too! So soft, like a pillow, and delicious! We brought home enough food to eat again tomorrow, and I'm so excited for it! This was an amazing dining experience, and we're already planning our next excursion back! Highly recommend!“

“Our family of 7 stopped there on our way home from Abingdon, MD. They were so sweet! They set up a table for us, brought us everything and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS. I had barbecue boneless ribs and they’re the best I’ve ever had. They helped us throughout our meal. Highly recommend.“

“Will definitely come back. Always looking for a GOOD FRIED OLD FASHIONED MARYLAND CRABCAKE and you didn't disappoint! Bread pudding was killer. 2 thumbs up!“

“A lovely little place you can stop by and get fresh food made fast. I got the teriyaki chicken, white rice, and veggies for a healthy lunch! You can get fried rice or noodles as other sides, but I found my combo to be a pretty healthy choice.

You order, and then they cook it right then and it's ready in a few minutes . Hot off the griddle, fresh, and super friendly hard working folks behind the counter.

Thank you for offering tasty, affordable, and healthy (if you so choose!) options in the mall for shoppers on the go. :-)“

“I loved this food! I'm surprised some say bland!? I loved the egg foo young! Will definitely be back!“

“The prices are great here, especially at lunch. The pepper steak was prepared quickly and came out piping hot. There was no extra charge to get fried rice instead of white. I like that there's an option for soup or soda with the lunch combo, but I went with the egg roll.“

“The staff here is extremely polite and helpful. I was greeted by Labrell who is extremely nice and helpful. He helped me and another couple get set up with the wonder app and gave recommendations on which foods to try. I highly recommend the wonder Reston location and if you get a chance to meet Labrell he will put a smile on your face and brighten your day!!“

“A wonderful experience every time! I’ve ordered from Great Wall multiple times now and each time the owners are so kind and the food is delicious with generous portions (I especially recommend the Shrimp Mei Fun!). Will definitely be coming back ☺“

“Good food and great staff.“

“⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Phenomenal takeout and super fast service!
​Asian Bistro provided an excellent takeout experience from start to finish. I called in our order, and after a 10–15 minute drive over, the food was hot, fresh, and ready for pickup the moment I walked through the door. The check-out process was fast, efficient, and very friendly.
​The quality of the food was outstanding—everything was delicious and remarkably well prepared:
​Singapore Noodles: Full of great flavor and perfectly cooked.
​Sushi Rolls: The Spicy Roll, Philadelphia Roll, and Fried Oyster Roll were all super fresh and well crafted.
​An incredible spot in New Market for quick and delicious takeout. We will definitely be back!“

“This is my favorite Chinese place in the area. Food is always super good, and I always look forward to when we get it for take out. I have also eaten in the actual restaurant a few times, and it has always been a nice meal. I personally highly recommend the steamed dumplings and the combo lo mein, this place has the best of the best!!“

“The food was awesome and the waitress was very friendly and helpful would recommend if you are interested in getting great food and friendly service. I don’t understand some of the reviews saying about being pressured for a higher tip and rudeness of staff did not experience anything like that. But still would recommend to anyone that wants great food and friendly service at a decent price. Have a blessed day“

“I went with my family of 5 for dinner and we were very impressed with the service and food. The food was delicious and top quality, the service was prompt and the presentation very nice. I travel from Middletown to go there because the food is consistently great!“

“I went to Panda Express yesterday for lunch, and it’s always an enjoyable experience. Today was no different, with the staff being friendly and taking my order quickly. The food is consistently hot, and the portions are generous. I would highly recommend going here for dining in and taking out. 5 Stars!“
