“Love coming here for family gatherings and whenever we're in the mood for some tasty Chinese food! The peking duck here is probably my favorite in all of MD, but they also have many other good dishes. My personal favorites are the pork peking style and pan fried noodles, but pretty much everything is yummy. Just be mindful that they get fairly busy, and service can be slower during these times. I would recommend making reservations, especially for bigger parties.“

“Our family loves Taipei Tokyo's food. We always use curbside pickup and have never been disappointed. Quick service, discounts, delicious food and a huge selection of dishes. We recently placed an order for eight people and they all enjoyed their dinners very much!“
“I always come here for the bao bei buns which are Taiwanese gua bao. It has a nice pork belly filling with pickled vegetables and sweet peanuts. It’s perfect when eaten warm and fresh and would highly recommend you to get it! There is no seating though and they work out of a warehouse by the way.“
“Service is bad, keep your expectations low when coming. The first time we tried to dine here, they turned us away 30 mins before closing time. This time, they made us move tables after ordering because they wanted to accommodate a larger party. Nothing outrageous, just not a common experience. There's also only one waitress, so expect to wait longer for service especially when it gets busy. Tables are super close together and can barely squeeze by without my butt getting uncomfortably close to the other table's food. Fried milk custard was not bad, slightly sweet, kind of greasy Spicy sour fern starch noodles were not sour or spicy at all, and were actually sweet, which was disappointing. The noodles were nice and bouncy. The fish soup was awesome, I've been craving sauerkraut fish soup ever since having it for the first time in New York. It wasn't uncomfortably spicy, and the combo for 2 came with 2 toppings and 2 sides, which I thought was well priced. I would definitely come back for it.“
“We’ve been here many times and each time has been a great experience. The food is always delicious and huge in portion, and the service has been really good. We never have to wait very long for the food, and we always have leftovers to bring home. I definitely recommend this place.“
“The lunch specials are great! Had the twice cooked pork, the spicy ribs, and the cold spicy chicken dish ( I forgot the take pictures of all of them, which is usually a good sign). Not busy on a Friday and free parking in the building (for under 2 hours). I want to go back and try the fish dishes. Great service and very attentive waiters.“
“Vegetarian options: I placed an order online for delivery and for holy week my family and I aren't eating meat so I put in the instructions no chicken and the lady called me to make sure she got my order right and she even changed my egg roll to a veggis ones without me even telling her witch I loved cause she went out her way to make sure I had no meat in my order! I will definitely be getting food from them again and the food taste good, best Chinese food I've had around this area!“
“Dear Diary - This is one of my favorite convenient hotpots in the area. Using their iPad to order your items, they often come to the table very quickly. They do have a serving robot mainly handling drinks/dessert orders which makes it pretty efficient as they can focus on other tasks. Love the efficiency and the various soup base flavors that are offered.“
“5 out 5 | 10 out of 10 , however you want to put It - they are winning! ?The level of intentionality, service, and quality was very impressive.I love me some BBQ but this experience was special. I really love the atmosphere and how the team worked together.Jason and Patrick were our waiters which was nice because It wasn’t sole on one individual so you can see they definitely have a system in place.The little cat robot was my favorite! It was so cool and cute! It made our experience that much better!Let’s talk quality- when I mean all the meats were well seasoned- the steak cut like butter, I didn’t even have to do much chewing and the portions were quite large. The biggest difference for me was the flavor It truly was a different experience from Korean BBQ- I feel like I like this better!We tried the season steak, garlic butter garlic, spicy brisket, teriyaki, chicken, and bulgogi- everything was delicious!We didn’t have the chance to do the two free karaoke songs or try the s’mores but I’m not worried about that because we will definitely be back!This restaurant is a well oiled machine!“
“Vegan reviewer here! It was my first time to Yuan Fu Vegetarian and based on the reviews I was really excited to try them out. I went on a Friday night around 8 PM. From the outside it's nothing spectacular which is a great sign of authenticity. Right when you enter there's booths and tables with the counter at the back. They were about 1/4 occupied. I decided to seat myself in a booth and was greeted right away and handed a menu and was asked what I wanted to drink. I ended up deciding on the pecking duck which was the most recommended menu item and the vegetable chow foon since that dish is one of my favorites to order at any Asian restaurant. The both dishes came out about 10 minutes later. I had never had real pecking duck but wow this was delicious. The plum sauce really complimented the dish. Definitely order this dish. The chow foon was alright. Rice noodles really soak up any sauce you put on it so I was disappointed when there wasn't much flavor. The noodles were also pretty soft and I like them to have a bit of a bite. I asked for chili oil and soy sauce to jazz it up and it did the trick. I have a big appetite but had to ask for boxes. The service and food were great overall and I definitely plan on coming back and trying other dishes. One thing I will say is I asked for an itemized receipt and they had to handwrite it since they don't have a digital system. Both dishes came out to just under $35. Can't wait to come back!“
“The restaurant is pretty small and cozy. We ordered seafood and chicken soups. The seafood soup was good, but the chicken soup was ok. The noodles were overcooked, and the chicken pieces had a smell, so I didn't like it. I also ordered fried shrimp and scallion pancakes. Both the appetizers were good. Overall, it is a casual spot for soups and appetizers.“
“We have been coming to Jin River for spicy Chinese foods since 2015. Great location, next to the block, right by Rockville town center area.Their dishes spices are not the spiciest but the SiChuan flavor is authentic. From meats to fish to all sorts of Chinese pastries are all very delicious. Also don’t forget to try their smoked duck meat, one of my favorite.The customer service has always being friendly and attentive. Pricing is reasonable.The restaurant has been here forever, but it does not seem like any renovation has been done on it, so looks dated both inside and outside.There are plenty parkings out front and around, BE AWARE, only the ones right in front of the restaurant with no pay parking signs are free.Others are all pay to park.Do recommend by @winedinenvacay“
“This is the closest place you'll get the Szechuan food in Maryland. I came to Bob's Shanghai and ordered a lot of the Szechuan based menu. First order the beef tendon which had plenty of heat, personally there was a too much black pepper for me. Still was plenty tasty with a gelatinous texture. Secondly had some of their soup dumplings and it was great. Not as much soup as I would like, but there was plenty of flavor. For those who don't know what soup dumplings are, soup dumplings are essentially dumplings which have soup in them. They come out piping hot so you really want to watch out before you bite into these. We also ordered the pork belly stir fried in vegetable and Szechuan sauce. This was the highlight of the whole trip. The stir-fry consisted of plenty of garlic, bamboo shoots, green pepper, spring onion, and Szechuan peppers. The fatty pork belly and combination of vegetables really gave a nice touch. Lastly I ordered the Dan Dan noodles which were terrible. They were dry tasteless and not worth getting. Considering Szechuan is one of my favorite food styles, I usually go to Philly in order to get my Szechuan fixing. For now this place will do the job“
“Lunch combos aren't worth it. I've order 2 different combos (curry chicken & szechuan chicken combos) and all you get is a bunch of veggies covered in sauce and barely any meat, which is highly disappointing. At the price points, you're better of just ordering a regular meal because I also ordered double cooked beef and that was amazing and the portion for that was really good. Their apps are really good. I really liked the fried crab sticks and they're much better than other chinese places I've had. Other than that, the service has been great. No comment on atmosphere but each time I've gone, there's always people there so thats a plus.“
“Absolutely delicious!!!! You will miss this gem if you don't look carefully...you go in through the back...when we walked eyes were on us because it was all Asian customers and they thought we were door dash ! We told them we would like to be seated, they said sit anywhere. We saw some amazing meals coming out the kitchen that I asked the server what somebody else had and that's what I ordered without disappointment!!! Deliciousness is all I can describe it as!!! The wife ordered Singapore noodles which she loved...this is one of the best Asian food spot I've had since coming to md! Give it a try and remember I told you so!!“
“I love this place because their steamed yu choy is yummy. They didn't use much oil to make it, which makes it healthy. The salt and pepper squid could use a little spicy powder to make it more flavorful. I'm looking forward to trying their wonton, char siew noodle, and milk tea next time.“
“Solid option for some authentic dim sum, some nice selection for one person or to share, I highly recommend the braised pork on rice and the A&J wonton soup, you will not be disappointed with those options.The staff is friendly and helpful, and it's a great lunch spot if you are in the area and not too pricey either.And of course the scallion pancake is delicious.“
“Beyond being friendly and attentive, China Jade staff are very honest and generous with genuine commitment to exceed our satisfaction! The award winning chef menu boasts authentic Chinese dishes with fresh and high-quality ingredients in a warm and cozy store, the best thing is NO msgs or processed stuff. The value and portions is unbeatable for the price. Delivery is very convenient and parking is abundant free“
“I've reviewed before, but the new owner is sooo kind. The food is always super good. I've heard some customers be super rude to him just because delivery can take a while even though he tells you in advance, but either way he is always very friendly no matter what!“
“My husband and I have been coming here for the last 9 years! This is our favorite place. The Sizzling black pepper beef and hot and sour soup is by far my favorite on the menu! The whole menu is delicious and the service is FANTASTIC, the atmosphere is homey and welcoming!!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!“
“3.7.24 Location The restaurant is located in the King Farm Village Center and on the backside of Safeway. There is limited street parking in front. There is also parking lot across from Ming's with a walkway. Ambiance This restaurant is not dine in. There is only a small table for two and two separate chairs likely to be used when waiting. I got there early and ate at the table. They had Chinese music playing in the background. Menu -Weekday (11am-3pm) lunch specials include: mini spring roll, choice of egg drop or hot & sour soup, and 1 of 12 entrees. -They sell milk & fruit tea and toppings. Food -I ordered the lunch special sesame chicken and selected the egg drop soup. I also ordered a medium taro milk tea with boba. I appreciated that the food came out piping hot. It was actually so hot that I had to blow on the food, was sweating, and had to take my sweater off. It was my first time (to my recollection) having egg drop soup and I loved it. Spring roll was crispy. The sesame chicken and rice were moist. The sauce for the chicken was different, but still good. Taro tea was good and the boba had the perfect chewiness. The portion for lunch was generous especially for the price. Can't beat it. I only managed to finish half my chicken entree after eating my soup and spring roll. Service Good and friendly service. The owner's wife runs the counter and takes orders by phone and in-person. She brought my food out and when she noticed I didn't have the crispy noodle with my soup, she went to get it. I appreciated her attention to details. Helpful Info -Delivery within 2 miles with $20 minimum. -Closed on Tuesdays. Final thoughts I loved my lunch, fair pricing, generous portion, and friendly and attentive service.“
“Food was fantastic!However, we had very poor experience with service. It was a struggle to find/get our server, get more water, or rice (we never got it even when asked 4 times). Our total time spent was 2.5 hours for 5 people (ended up having to pay for parking - 2hrs free). My friends never experienced this in their previous visits.We spoke with manager and he was very friendly and apologetic - kindly taking 50% off our bill and offering deserts and cocktails.Probably one unlucky visit - so I will be visiting again.“
“Ordered via Uber eats, but I've been ordering from them for years! The family that runs it is super nice! It is a carry out place like your typical Chinese restaurant. I had their wings and they are some of the best wings I've ever had! Highly recommend!“
“Small place. No seating. No delivery through apps.I've enjoyed this place so far. Trying out different things as I go. I recommend: Combination Lo Mein is good but they skimp a bit on the protein. Mongolian beef is good, there are a lot of fried onions/green onions in it and they actually have char on them. So I really enjoy that one. Bourbon chicken is good. It's not AS good as what you might get at a mall, but it's close. The sweet and sour chicken was one of the better I've had. Only had it once so far but it had a great crunch on the outside. Egg roll was decent.I don't recommend: their fried rice. It's yellow and tasteless, so they probably use a neutral oil with no sauces/spices. The crab Rangoon are the triangles as opposed to the four prong crowns. Which I've always found to be inferior. They didn't taste like anything. Kung pao was a let down too. First one I've seen in MD with a variety of veggies (which I like). A lot of kung Pao in MD is just chicken and peanuts. But the sauce was sweet and not spicy. So it was really off-putting when I ate it. ALSO the egg drop soup was good. But they use premade/individually wrapped crunchy noodles. First time I'd ever seen them anywhere. And they were not good.The place prepares their food quite fast. I ordered $60 of food last time and they quoted me 10-12 minutes. I think not dealing with sit down orders or deliveries makes it easier to crank out food. So far good food. I recommend them as a good place. They also do small orders on some of their entrees. Which I appreciate so I can try things without spending too much money.“
“I recently discovered this hidden gem of a Chinese skewer restaurant, and I must say, it's a culinary delight! The variety of skewers is extensive, each bursting with unique flavors that kept my taste buds dancing. The star of the show was their chili wontons for me - absolutely addictive! The perfect blend of spice and savory goodness. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the overall enjoyable experience. A must-visit for any food enthusiast seeking an authentic and delicious Chinese dining adventure.“
“The six of us (4 adults and 2 children) had a nice lunch. Although the picture shows the total as $121, the restaurant offered a decent cash discount and the total was brought to $110. Here are my thoughts on the dishes. The good: soup dumpling, sliced roast beef + tendon, braised soy sauce duck, 生煎包 fried buns, soy bean milk + fried bread stick, and Shumai. These dishes were really good. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them! The meh: Hainan Chicken with rice, noodle scallion, and Pork + bean curd. If you don't like heavy soy sauce then these dishes might be not be for you. Furthermore, the amount of oil in these three dishes were a tad bit overwhelming. The restaurant itself is a bit small so it wasn't exactly the most comfortable. However, the service was good and most of the dishes were great.“
“Best Taiwanese food we have found in Maryland! Better than two other (primarily) Taiwanese restaurants in Rockville. We were too busy eating and did not take pictures. Restaurant owner and customers were speaking Taiwanese to each. It brought me back to memories of Taiwan. ?Gave 4 stars only because I would have liked the noodle to be more al dente.“
“Even though it is a hike for us from Virginia to MD, we can't help but make the trip at least once a month. Halal food aside, it is simply one of the best Chinese food places around.Vegetarian options: There are many. They are super flexible in a la carte style preparation if you just tell what you wantParking: Plenty available any time i visit“
“There were free appetizers. The waiters responded to your choices on the screen really quick. There were many varieties of meats and vegetables to choose from. The sauce station had many options as well for you to mix and match. Everyone has their own pot and lots of room.“
“I'm really picky with Chinese food. This place is the best. You see a lot of Chinese people there because it's authentic. Everyone I take there ends up hooked. Great dim sum, amazing kung pao, and my favorite pork fried rice. Highly recommend checking it out the next time you get Chinese.“
“We tried this restaurant again yesterday evening and the food was quite good. Many Asian families occupied large round tables and the diners seemed happy with their choices. We enjoyed the hot and sour soup, double mushroom with mustard greens and a steamed Sea Bass ($34).“
“All dishes are good, even though some well known Chinese dishes are not cooked the authentic way. You can have sushi if you are not used to Chinese food. Their Sushi is above average comparing to good Japanese restaurants. Good value place to go.“
“I have always loved coming here. Everyone is so nice, it's family owned and service is fast. The food is authentic and the carrot pastry is something special!Kid-friendliness: The environment is vibrant and beautiful, they have a cool fish tank and if you go there for Chinese New Year, they throw a huge celebration!“
“We happened to come across Yu Zhou after a trip to Sam's. This is clearly a family owned restaurant. On our visit I noticed the owner giving the staff iced teas from a local boba spot. Major kudos, more restaurants could learn from his leadership. Take care of your people and they'll take care of your customers. Staff was awesome and attentive, it's really an all hands on deck operation! Now the food.... Generous portions, American and authentic Chinese options and something for most everyone to enjoy. All in all a fantastic option for when you crave Chinese food!“
“As a newcomer to the area from New Jersey, stumbling upon this Thai restaurant was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped in, I was transported back to the flavors and aromas of home. The authenticity of the dishes served here is remarkable, reminiscent of the vibrant Thai cuisine I've grown to love. Each bite was a culinary journey, bursting with rich spices and fresh ingredients. The ambiance of the restaurant further enhanced the dining experience, with its warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this gem of a restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. Thank you for always knowing which wine I like:)“
“I love Chinese food but I'm picky with the fried rice. I can say this fried rice lives up to my standards and I really enjoyed my meal. The only reason I'm rating them 4 stars is because of the Crab Rangoon it was a little too sweet for my liking. Other than that my wings were tasty, and so was the sweet and sour chicken. I would recommend and will return! Food was also ready very quickly!“
“Some of the best dim sum in the area. Plentiful choices on the carts, well made and fresh. Perhaps a touch more expensive than standard but I feel it's worthwhile for the quality.Also not as crowded as some of the others, so you could roll up at noon and probably land a table without a wait.I recommend the Har gow and the char siu pastry, super good. Sio Mai was a little gamey and off, unfortunately.“
“Taipei Cafe is kind of isolated on the Pike, but it's right across from the shopping center that has China Bistro and other Asian stores/restaurants. My friend and I had their Taiwanese fried chicken, beef noodle soup, and hamburger bun. I was looking forward to trying their soup dumplings, but the waitress said they only make the crab ones (opposed to the regular pork ones that are also on their menu). The fried chicken was super crispy and tender. The beef noodle soup broth is mildly spicy, but as someone who doesn't like any spice, I could tolerate it. I wish they had more vegetable options on their menu, but I'm glad I found this place! If you're looking for Taiwanese classics, this is the place!“
“Ordered food from here a month ago on GrubHub and my wife and I loved it. We had the Twinbrook Station and Samurai sushi rolls as well as Orange Chicken, Drunken Noodles, Red Penang Beef Curry, Mango Chicken, and Miso Style Ramen Noodles. The food was very affordable and the portions were big. We love the variety of all Asian foods and look forward to ordering from here and eventually dining in.“
“This is my go to place in the area. They have great fried rice, and their mambo sauce is decent (on the sweeter side). My favorite dish is the coconut shrimp!!! Oh my goddddddd, I’m big on shrimp and I love coconut so obviously coconut shrimp has always been a favorite but the way they make it here is just soooooo good!!!! Not only are the shrimp well cleaned but they remove the tails and fry them up first than toss them in this really yummy coconut sauce! The result is a nice well breaded and fried shrimp with a delicious sauce! Looks like a glazed shrimp donut lol ? it’s soooooo good! Definitely recommend.“
“Red Ginger is a hidden gem, and if you're wondering what to try, go straight for the cashew chicken - you'll thank me later. It's a no-frills spot, with not much seating inside, making it essentially a carry-out haven. The upside? If you opt for takeout, it's quick and efficient. Plus, the prices are surprisingly affordable, adding to the appeal of this little culinary find. Don't underestimate the simplicity; Red Ginger packs a flavorful punch, especially with that cashew chicken.“
“Vegan reviewer here! I went to Joe's Noodle House for the first time on Easter Sunday for dinner seeing they had ample vegetarian options. I called ahead to ask about if they could make them vegan and the woman on the phone said yes, they could make options vegan free of meat, eggs and milk and they were closing early due to the holiday. I came in and the place was pretty empty. I was greeted and seated immediately. I asked about the vegetarian menu and she said they combined it with the normal menu and to look for items that contained the letter V next to it. As I was browsing I noticed several items that could be vegan but didn't have a V next to it. When it came time to ordering I asked about some of those options and my server said yes, those could be made vegan. I went with shredded potatoes, vegetable lo mein with tofu and mixed vegetables with tofu. The food came out pretty quick and the portions were huge and could easily serve 2-3 people. The lo mein was great! It was exactly what I wanted flavor wise. The shredded potato had some slices of green bell pepper was also delicious and tasted very similar to other Chinese restaurants I frequent. Usually the shredded potato has slices of jalapeño but I was not mad at their rendition. The mixed vegetables was my least favorite dish because the brown sauce the veggies were cooked in didn't have as much flavor as I'd hoped and reminded me of a watery gravy. It was the healthier option of the bunch which was alright but not the flavor I was hoping for. It was still good though. They use braised tofu in their dishes which adds a nice texture to the dish. A bowl of rice was also included with my meal. I ate until I was full but made no dent in the three plates and asked for boxes. They packed them up for me which I appreciated and my total was $47 before tip. I was in and out quickly and love that I'll have left overs for at least 2-3 meals. The food is authentic and I'll definitely be back.“
“We enjoyed a shrimp dish, general tsos chicken, and spicy eggplant. We asked for mustard and they gave us little containers of their own mustard - which is really good. We walked in not knowing it was not a sit down place. I give them a good rating on atmosphere because it was clean and they had a little table to sit at while we waited. Plus, the woman we ordered from was very nice.We ordered quickly, the place was clean, and they cooked our food quickly.Will definitely go back.“
“One of my 2 favorite Chinese restaurants of all time. They have a lot of authentic Chinese food and a lot of Chinese patrons (so you know it's good). My favorite dish is the honey shrimp with walnuts (large panko shrimp in a sweet, creamy sauce ?). I also love the roast duck, pork, and soyed chicken. DEFINITELY try this place if you haven't yet.“
“This is THE best Chinese food we’ve had! Their crispy chicken, steak on a stick, egg rolls, beef and broccoli, and shrimp lo mein are all perfect!!! We drove 40 minutes and it was still all hot and the chicken was so crispy still! Their service is great also. I came yesterday with three little kids in the car, and the owner was so understanding she brought out our food to the car so I didn’t have to unpack everyone! Great place“
