50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Potomac

“This is an underrated restaurant, and I'm surprised it's not always packed! The seafood is incredibly fresh, with tender and succulent texture, and both the cooking methods and seasoning are spot on. Every dish is delicious, highly recommended!“

“We really enjoyed our dine-in meal of: Thai green curry with shrimp, Szechuan green beans, Triple delight and pan fried noodles with shrimp. Everything was delicious! The new decor is lovely and the staff are very welcoming. Looking forward to trying the home-made dumplings next time.“

“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.“

“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“

“Small, but very clean and well kept.

There is no dining area however.

With that said, best beef fried rice I've ever had, and I've had alot trust me.

Ingredients were fresh and top notch. Fast service as well.

Very cheap all things considered.“

“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“

“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.“

“Food was excellent! We went on a Friday night and it wasn't very busy, but with a holiday weekend people may be out of town
Dishes were large, hot, and fresh. Only thing I wish was different was that there was an iPad for ordering. However, servers stopped by multiple times to check in.“

“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!“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

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

“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!“

“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“

“A place that we keep ordering from again and again. We accidentally ordered something not on the menu but they made it for us anyways, great service, great food, great price. When we have company from out of town and don’t want to cook we order from here. When we’re back from a long road trip I look forward to a meal from here.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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. ^^“

“The food was excellent and the service is consistently outstanding. I recently had a delivery, and the driver, Buenaventura, truly went above and beyond. I accidentally over-tipped, and he actually returned to my home to let me know and make it right. That level of honesty and professionalism is rare and very much appreciated. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Arielle was an amazing host/server. I came in and noticed it was a little busy for a Sunday night and it only looked like it was only 1 server and the bartender helping serve as well. She let me know it might be a little wait, even though it was only me. She gave me recommendations for appetizers, entrees (including every protein option) and even some drink pairings and told me about some new items which I haven’t seen before. I sat for about 8 minutes before she came back letting me know she was going to throw on her apron and help me out so I wasn’t going to be waiting longer. She brought everything out and the Combination Fried Rice was wonderful, Garlic noodles I would give about a 7/10, Dynamite sushi 10/10 and the new Lychee Lemonade was perfect just how she explained. Didn’t see her again for a while but she stopped by letting me know that she was just pitching in to help, told me she had been in overtime, apologized for any inconvenience and asked if I could leave a review and there was no way I couldn’t! Another server Andre would take over, and he did an amazing job as well especially for having to run around and help everywhere! Her energy was very vibrant and so authentic, it was refreshing to have someone be themselves! Andre was very sweet! Food was delicious as always.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food is excellent for the price, especially if you’re looking for authentic, no-frills Chinese cuisine. Service is acceptable but can be slow, and there’s often a line—though it’s generally worth the wait. Expect the straightforward Cantonese candor if you speak Chinese, but they are welcoming and accommodating to non-Chinese customers as well. The dining area is convenient and comfortable, with a cozy, Chinese cafeteria-style atmosphere (not a formal restaurant), which adds to the overall charm.

If you want, I can also make it sound more casual, more punchy, or more like a typical Yelp “Local Guide” review.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend Bostan Uyghur! We started out by ordering the Eggplant Salad as an appetizer. It came out nice and warm fresh from the stove! With its spices and garlicky flavor, it really hit the mark! We then placed orders for the Chicken Kabab and the Dry Fried Soman noodles with beef. Both were spicely complex and absolutely delicious! Have to make another visit soon!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Lovely traditional Chinese restaurant. Cozy tables and booths. Good food and good service. I had the pork egg foo young and it was delicious. The gravy was perfect. Very generous portions too which made the price easier to take since I got two meals out of it. Will definitely go back.“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“This restaurant had perfect skewers, perfect hot pot, perfect sauce bar, perfect everything. I don’t know how else to describe this amazing place. Clean, yummy foods, comfortable seats, everything positive about this. People, you need to come here just to experience the specialty!“

“Our go to place. Love that the expansion gives us the option to dine in or get delivery!“

“Good parking; though only 2 spaces! GREAT egg drop 🍜 soup (my favorites). Wheelchair accessible. 👩‍🦽“

“I am writing to express my satisfaction with my recent visit last week. Our waiter, Andrew, was welcoming and significantly contributed to our experience. His attentiveness and his kind invitation for our group to use the karaoke room, elevated our visit to a memorable occasion. The food was exceptional, and I believe the pricing is reasonable given the quality. I will certainly be returning and recommending this establishment to others. Andrew, your service was truly outstanding.“

“My wife’s favorite dumpling house
Great flavors
Never really packed as most people order take out but have their walls fun of customer post it note art.
Perfectly situated in a great shopping center so can always get drinks next door.“

“The food was good. Avoid the beef spare rub entre but definitely get pan fried noodles with Seafood and the Duck dishes. Dim sum is also tasty!!“

“I was not familiar with this place but my family was craving for real Chinese food! I checked good places near and decided to try China Express. To be honest when I parked in the front I was skeptical but follow my willingness to discover new places but when I got in and received by a very kind staff and felt the yummy smell from the kitchen I thought it was going to be good! I ordered fried rice, noodle soup, general tso chicken and some house lo mein, it was extremely delicious! Food quality is top and service was simply amazing! This is a hidden gem in Tysons and definitely will come back! Superb!“
