50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Bethesda

“Love enjoying lunch and dinner here. I enjoy the staff and make sure you make reservations because the weekend evenings get pretty packed. Good food Good atmosphere Good staff Highly recommend“

“Our waiter, Caleb, was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and the dishes were interesting and unique. We were a party of 7, sat outside and really enjoyed ourselves. The pacing of all the dishes coming out was perfect. The only downside was that there was a man with a really large dog seated right next to us and the dog barked and whined (so loudly we could not hear each other) and it smacked into our chairs repeatedly. Once the man left things improved and we had a great experience.“

“The new space is super cute and the dumplings are just as tasty as ever! When we went, the vegetarians and meat-eaters in the group both loved "Livin' on the Vedge". Also super affordable and filling - 2 thumbs up!“

“The moment you walk in, you realize that this place is special. From the attentive and courteous hosts to the richly-appointed intimate seating that is at once welcoming and comfortably exclusive, you instantly feel at home. Eli and the team do a fantastic job of ensuring that your food and drink orders are well-timed and as you request. The food is consistently great, and the richness of the flavors and brilliant, unpretentious presentations are always something to look forward to. This is a team that aims to meet or exceed your expectations. Astoria is one of the rare gems in the midst of Logan and DuPont Circles - and of DC writ large - that is a must-do when in town. If you can’t decide where to dine, you can always count on Astoria DC for approachable and affordable Szechuan cuisine and fun, creative cocktails for all your friends and family, and for all occasions.“

“We had a great experience at Pickle Vegetable Fish. The signature pickled vegetable fish was excellent. The broth had a rich, tangy flavor with just the right amount of spice, and the fish was fresh, tender, and cooked perfectly. We also tried the peppercorn beef, which was equally flavorful and comforting.“

“So my first taste of Asian cuisine in DC. I hate so many people are going to QR codes instead of actual servers, but glad it works. Whole experience was about 30 minutes worth of dining total. We ordered the Mapo Tofu (Vegan), the Spicy Beef Noodles, and the lucky 6 soup dumplings (to get a sample of them all). The three I tasted were the seafood options, so the green/red/and yellow tipped pictured below. The green was gourd buffalo, shrimp, and pork. The red was scallops & pork. And the yellow tip was crab meat and pork. My date had the other three. Truffle & pork (black), pork & chicken (yellow), and pork (white). All items were extremely tasty, and the spicy levels were perfection. Only there whem you ate the item and then disappears. Nothing lingering too long. Rice was nice and sticky. The tofu was silky, but not mushy. My favorite was the bokchoy in the beef noodles. Still crunchy! Will most definitely recommend and return!“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“We did one day DC trip and visited this Chinese restaurant for lunch. My dad ordered a spicy beef soup, my little one had buns, dumplings, and spring rolls, my husband ordered non-spicy beef soup, I had a spicy sesame noodles with sesame rolls. We all loved what we ordered. Those are tasty authentic Chinese food. I was very satisfied with my spicy sesame noodles. They are delicious! I am so glad we tried this place. We will come back again for sure. The place is small but welcoming, it has indoor and outdoor spaces for dining. The staff is very kind and friendly. Luckily we were there early, there was a line afterwards when we started eating.“

“Came here on the day after July 4, the wait-list seemed long but they went by fast! Service was quick and professional. Food is good as usual (I've been to other locations before).

I remember hearing about the lines to eat here so get take out“

“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!!“

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

“My server was Pemba! He was very kind and attentive to our order! He also helped to enhance my food experience by envisioning me to try some sauces to complement my dish. He always smiled and cracked a joke or two! Overall, my experience was pleasant, and I would definitely come here again!“

“The streamed pork and chive dumplings from Dumplings and Beyond were authentic and the Ma Po To Fu was not. Based solely on my delivery order, both dishes were delicious. The plethora of sauces that accompanied the dumplings was very appreciated. The filling was flavorful with plenty of ginger and lacked any gristly leftovers while the wrapper was tender and perfectly cooked. The Ma Po To Fu was delicious and spicy. However, it lacked Szechuan peppercorn which give it the spicy, tingly flavor typically found in this dish. It also lacked pork. Overall, I recommend this restaurant, especially the dumplings, and am eager to visit in person.“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is definitely my new go-to Chinese spot.

I submitted a large take out for my brothers birthday dinner and knew this spot was fire when they called to ask for clarification for my order. We ordered a two general tso chicken combination platter with fried rice, mei fun (thin noodles) with shrimp and also another one with chicken, general tso tofu combination platter and additional sides (fries + vegetable fried rice). I personally ate the chicken mei fun and the food was so good I forgot to get a picture. It was so flavorful and addicting. I added a bit of their chili oil on top and it was the perfect level of spicy that complimented my food. I spent about $108 for all our food which isn’t bad to serve 7 people.

I really like this spot and imma come back and try other items.“

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

“As we're lucky to have so many authentic and diverse restaurants in Northern Virginia, we decided to give Chef Tan a try.

I'd say it's a solid choice if you're nearby or looking for authentic Chinese food in Vienna. While it's not the best Chinese food I've ever had, every dish we ordered was good and the overall meal was enjoyable.

That said, with so many great Chinese restaurants closer to where I live, I probably wouldn't drive all the way to Vienna to have Chef Tan unless I happened to be in the area and is craving Chinese food.“

“Best bao in the DMV, hands down! Congrats on the new location. Nice space and good location. Lean into the front of house - you guys are rockstars!“

“Today was my first day visiting Wonder North Bethesda and the experience did not disappoint! Jayla patiently walked me through the process of ordering on the kiosk and she explained every detail regarding the different food options. She was kind, professional and transparent. I’m looking foto enjoying this new gem in my neighborhood!“

“In DC for 6 days, if it weren’t for family gatherings that included tons of food, I Would Have EATEN HERE EVERYDAY! Seriously love, the Love! Bring some of this great food to Boston!😘“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“The food and service was very good! Generous portion of food.“

“Delicious everything!!! I usually make my own tabouleh, but there’s is so great I get it from Muncheez. And the labne is the best. My daughter loves the shawarmas. Love the drinks too!!!“

“oh my goodness. Everything, the freshest seafood I've seen in just about ever, delicious broths, huge portions, great presentation. My first hot pot experience and I will be back, a lot of times. Met the owner, and he was wonderful too. I highly suggest supporting this tasty, and fresh establishment“

“We ordered the Chongqing spicy chicken, sautéed pork intestines, fish-flavored eggplant, and the hot and sour soup — and honestly, this was the best hot and sour soup I’ve had in a while! All the dishes we ordered were in were good. I’m a big spice lover and this place did not disappoint — if you can handle the heat, you’re in for a treat. Service was attentive and warm throughout the meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Good, consistent Chinese take-out. I don’t suggest eating in house—it smells pretty bad in the restaurant. I can’t tell if it’s something burnt, cleaning product, building product, or what, but it’s been that way for a while now. Multiple entrees I’ve tried have been very good with high-quality proteins without fat or gristle. They don’t include white rice with entrees, though. I’ve never encountered that before, so you have to explicitly order that if you want it for another $1. 🙄“

“The service exceeds all expectations! We had a very large party of 16 who were so engaged in conversations that the servers had to ask many times who had what, and each time they did so with a wonderful, kind spirit! The food was fantastic even considering the small kitchen! Even the restroom was immaculate! It was almost a 2 hour trip for us to get there but we'll worth the trip! 5 we'll earned stars!“

“Their food is delicious, the soup dumplings are my favorite. Wish I was still living in the area so I could get there more often. ^^“

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

“Lived in Bethesda for 50 years, now in Bend, OR--where good Chinese food is non-existent. On numerous visits back home, I've patronized Foong Lin with high school buddies--and it always delivers the goods. Last night, we all had hot and sour soup, egg rolls, crispy beef, combination Kung Pao, combination lo mein...and everything was off the charts!“

“Delicious food, the tea was even better. Atmosphere beautiful and the staff very friendly. I will be back!“

“Food was absolutely delicious here! We ordered pretty much everything in he menu but the standouts for us were the eggplant, pea shoots, and the cumin fish!

Service was also great. Our waiter was very pleasant and explained the menu so well to us. Even the drinks!“

“China Jade is one of our absolute favorites!
My husband and I have keep it in regular rotation alongside China Bistro (Mama's Dumplings), and Sichuan Jin River. Becky and Wendy are incredibly hospitable, and the food is consistently spot-on. We especially come for their authentic Szechuan and Cantonese dishes — always flavorful, always satisfying. A must-try! Generous portions deliver excellent value at a fair price.“

“I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and authenticity of some of the classic dimsum dishes such as the shrimp dumpling and charngfun. We ordered about 25 small plates between 3 people (including desert) and we were stuffed! Some items tasted a bit too experimental and did not satisfy the classic Cantonese flavor profile that I’m used to. Some were really good! I grew up eating authentic Cantonese dim sum in Los Angeles and have tried amazing eating dim sum in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. In the DMV area, we have limited dim sum options - so this place will do when I crave dim sum! The service and atmosphere were really nice. Total rating is 4.5 stars.“

“I had an incredible experience dining at Gong Fu 12 yesterday, and I have to say it has quickly become my favorite restaurant in the DMV area. They create a wonderful blend of flavors from both Northern and Southern Chinese cuisines, resulting in a diverse menu full of exciting dishes. The quality of the food is exceptional, and I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices for such delicious meals. It's a place where you can truly indulge in a culinary adventure! You will appreciate me for introducing you to this excellent restaurant.“

“Delicious Chinese food specializing in Sichuan cuisine that has plenty of great dishes with a good level of spice.

If you're brave enough to try bitter melon, they've got that here, but otherwise, would recommend their twice-cooked pork and their Zhong dumplings!

Service was phenomenal and the restaurant has plenty of seating!“

“Had a delicious dinner at Full Key restaurant. Ordered garlic shrimp Chinese broccoli & hot tea. Large portions, excellent service. My family goes here regularly, we love it! I accidentally left my purse there, & they had held it for me~ thank you, Full Key!“

“One of the best Chinese food I have ever had. Tried the dry fried cauliflower, ganghood chicken, Lazi chicken, and spring rolls and all of them were absolutely decadent! Service was also super welcoming. Food so good, the whole order was beasted, took take out, and even ordered the same food next day because I couldn’t get over the flavorful taste lol. The pricing is also too friendly for food quality of this kind. Highly recommend this place, loved it!!“

“My new neighborhood go to place for Chinese food. I've been looking for a place since Tsim Yung closed on 12th Street a while back. I'm not a Chinese food connoisseur but this meets my test for good weekend comfort food with reasonable prices and good portions. Location is sketchy but the kitchen area looks remarkable clean and open for a fast food joint. Ordered pork fried rice twice and added Szechuan Beef on the second trip. They didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend. Staff is friendly and efficient.“

“I really enjoy eating at Yu Noodle Cafe. They have the best noodle soup in Rockville. The soup is hot, tasty, and full of flavor, and the noodles are always fresh. The staff are very kind, generous, and friendly. They always make me feel welcome. The food is great, the service is great, and I will definitely come back again. Highly recommend!“

“All the food is wonderful, and the variety of choices is staggering. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The interior is spacious and clean, with a warm, inviting atmosphere.“

“First time visiting Wonder Cleveland Park as a tourist, and I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to order. John was really helpful and walked us through the different menus and the self-ordering setup. I liked that you can order from multiple restaurants all in one place, which makes it perfect for indecisive groups or people who all want different things. One person can get a salad, another can get a burger, and someone else can grab pizza, all in the same order. We tried the lime salt and Royal Greens, and it was a great experience overall.“

“Though this place has a couple tables, it spends its budget on the food versus space and decor. It keeps costs low by having a very small place down a side road. Parking is free and most times you can park right outside of it. They offer delivery but is popular for take out. The people at the counter are very nice. I recommend their Kung Pao chicken. It is the best.“

“This charming little restaurant serves authentic Yunnan rice noodles. I opted for the Kimchi Beef Rice Noodle Soup, which arrived piping hot. I carefully added all the ingredients and sides to the sizzling soup. I also had fried oysters that were crispy and tender. The portion was generous, and the price was reasonable. The service was warm and efficient. The soup was incredibly tasty and delicious! I can’t think of anything better noodle soup at such an affordable price. It’s a fantastic bargain!“

“Amazing and fresh food everytime we come here with the family. We drive 2 hours at least once a month to come here and it’s always just as good. Consistency is so hard to find nowadays but they kill it everytime! I would recommend this place to everyone and their families and they have something for everyone regardless of dietary restrictions. 10/10 Recommend.“

“Great food, speedy excellent service, and excellent vibes. The music they play overhead is pretty loud though, but, it’s definitely a nice spot to go out w/ The family or w/ riends.“

“I ordered from here for the first time and the service was great! They made our food in a fair amount of time and the food tasted good. Their half and half iced tea lemonade was amazing. I ordered two of those after trying out a cup from one container.“

“The dishes are even cleaner tasting and less salty than before, and we love the new chicken wonton soup. The chefs have creatively used spices and ground halal meat to recreate pork dishes. Great for those who eat halal but also for those who don't want to feel bloated after a Chinese meal. We loved the chicken broccoli and moo shoo and will be ordering again for this healthier take on American Chinese food.“
