50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Riverdale Park

“My go to chinese carryout place. Best place for chicken wings or other chicken pieces to eat as well and the fried rice. I tried fried rice from dozens of other carryouts and nothing comes close to their rice. Steak and cheese is the best and others dishes are great as well. Only problem is it's cash only other then that food is great.Btw ask for the hot sauce if you get fried chicken. The sauce is strong but goes well with the chicken!“

“The food is delicious, I've found. I am very particular with how I need my food prepared ( I cant have salt or pepper) and they are ALWAYS accommodating when both cooking and preparing the food afterwards.

My ONLY reason for editing my review from 5 stars to 4 is because they no longer deliver to my home or accept debit card orders over the phone, so now I must now ask others if they can pick up my order on their way to visit me and it's rude to eat in front of guests, so I can no longer enjoy their delicious food except once in a blue moon.“

“Great food, great price, and generous serving sizes! Would definitely eat there again.:)“

“You know you’re going to have good food when the servers get excited about your menu decisions. Everything was absolutely wonderful. We got to sit at the bar with a direct view of the kitchen. I don’t know if the octopus or the truffle dumpling was my favorite, but I know I’m getting both when I go back. The whole fried snapper had a delicious light breading. The duck noodles were tasty too; I will probably try to get it spicier next time. I’ll likely be back in a couple of weeks. I’m still thinking about the food. Also, this husband-wife team perfected my experience by ensuring such excellent service. They need to teach a workshop to other restauranteurs.“

“Excellent food with attentive servers. Sia made recommendations, matching us to dishes we loved. Bustling place but still feels like a personalized experience.“

“The most affordable, fast and tasty lunch option in the area. It’s a family-owned spot with great lunch specials and options for vegetarians. Highly recommend. It’s more of a takeout spot, but they have a few seats if you need to eat lunch in house“

“3 of us ordered the all you can eat and we were not disappointed! Our food was top notch! We ordered a bunch of the sides again and again! The spicy wonton were probably my favorite. Our waitress was patient and sweet! Thank you so much! Woot!“

“We've been buying these dumplings from Costco for the past year and love them. We were so excited to find a storefront. The food was so good! We ordered the pork bao bun and the pork and chive dumplings. Prices were reasonable and the portions are perfect for sampling.“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is in my top 3 takeout spots for the Crystal City area. The Mapo Tofu and Stone Pot Tofu Fish dishes are my favorites, but I haven't had anything bad yet. This is not your standard American style Chinese restaurant. The flavors are significantly more interesting. Be prepared for things to be spicy, in a terrific way.“

“Love this place! Happened upon it when I worked close by and went twice in one 3 days! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, and their little server robot is adorable. The pork soup dumplings were the best I've had since returning to the states. Incredibly rich and meaty! Definitely check this place out!“

“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!“

“Consistently delicious and reliable. A neighborhood staple. Love the beef and onion dumplings, general tso’s chicken, broccoli shrimp… so many incredible things to try and with generous portions. Delivery from their website is fast as well.“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“Must GO! MUST EAT! Sooo GOOD! Will NOT disappoint! YOU WILL GO BACK, AGAIN and again and again!“

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

“The ownership of this restaurant has changed, but the food did not disappoint! Ordered Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Chicken Broccoli, and Lo Mein. First of all, Fried Rice was not too soft or mushy. It was still really warm even after bringing it home. The egg in the Fried Rice looked fresh, being better than the last owner’s. The Egg Roll stayed the same, which was still really tasty! The Chicken Broccoli tasted great. Not too much sauce and the broccoli was not too soft or hard. The Lo Mein was well cooked with the right amount of sauce! The son working at the counter was also really kind while taking and giving me my order. Will be ordering again!“

“The food was very tasty and quality of service was excellent“

“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.“

“If you love noodles, you’ll probably want to check this place out. I really liked the atmosphere, and the service was great. That said, I wish they offered more than just noodle dishes. I ordered the beef noodle soup and was disappointed to find only two pieces of broccoli—was hoping for a few more veggies.

The place was packed during our visit, so clearly a lot of people enjoy the food. Personally, it wasn’t for me.“

“Finally found my Chinese spot! From VA to MD, this is the BEST Chinese food I’ve had. Everything was fresh and hot! Prep time was quick, they were friendly even though they were busy with a slew of call in orders and pickups.

Tried the general tso, shrimp fried rice, fries, spring rolls and wings plus the blue lemonade. Everything was delicious and the price point is great as well!

I can’t wait to get back and try more of their menu.“

“Since Eastern Gourmet has opened it has become our go-to for great Chinese takeout. We have ordered an extensive amount of the menu and there aren't any dishes that haven't blown us away. The food is amazing, the service is attentive, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.“

“This is some seriously good Ameri-Chinese food. Fresh, flavorful, great portions—all for a respectable price. Yes, it’s carry-out only. Assuming that’s why they’re able to keep the prices so low. But I loved swinging by here on my way home because the family who owns the place are so, so sweet.“

“Under another person’s recommendation I decided to try Shanghai lounge. I ordered 3 things from the menu and I loved them all!!!!! Food was very tasty and flavorful. Best spring rolls, spicy cold sesame noodles and rice noodles with peanut sauce!!!!! ????“

“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!😘“

“The dish that I ordered was great!!!“

“I think this place needs higher stars. We're visiting from Florida and made our way to Chinatown and were looking for a decent place to eat. The food and service was excellent. Better than I expected. We ate the curry chicken which tasted like real curry. Sesame chicken was fresh and flavorful. The food came out quickly. I highly recommend this place.“

“The ONLY place in DC I get chinese food from. They have massive portions and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. I always get lo mein, seasame chicken, wonton soup and a taro boba tea. It lasts me for multiple meals which is perfect for my busy schedule. Also, the owner is an absolute gem of a human being. She takes alot of pride in her restaurant and it shows in her kindness, hospitality and delicious food. Thanks for keeping me full and happy!“

“They always treat you like family.“

“I came from the zoo and wanted to sit down for some lunch. We got the Peking Duck and we’re not disappointed. Order a hot tea, the tea service is beautiful. We tried Beef and Vegetable Dumplings, they were juicy and rich, and earned a high recommendation. We were delighted we chose Han Palace it is beautiful and welcoming with superb service.“

“General tso's chicken was actually crispy. For once, I ate the entire chicken with broccoli dinner combo. Perhaps the best chinese-american restaurant for the area, but that standard varies with your taste, sauce preference, spiciness, etc ??‍♀️“

“I ordered take-out via Grubhub, the sushi was very fresh & tasted great. Presentation was all there however, the Volcano appetizer was tiny. For $13.00 and it being that small, if I had dined in the restaurant and it came out like that I would have sent it back. I won’t be ordering that again!“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“Tasty but inconsistent. My husband finds their food too sweet - like they use more sugar in the sauces than normal. Twice they've forgotten to include the soup I paid extra for, so double-check before leaving.

Portion sizes are great - we always have lots of leftovers when we get 3 combo meals for 2 adult and 2 young kids.

We had the sesame chicken and orange chicken (both on the sweet side) and the hunan beef (very fresh and nice). We ordered medium spicy for the beef and even though I could see red pepper on it, it wasn't spicy - at all. I even gave some to the baby. The fried rice and egg rolls are good.“

“Takeout only. Cash only. You can call ahead to place a pickup order. Wide variety of food options. It's delicious, great size portions, and the prices aren't bad. This is the only Chinese food I eat within the DMV, I will, and I have traveled over an hour to get food from them.“

“Brunch menu on their website hadn’t been updated, it’s now 75 minutes for bottomless brunch but the website says 90. They also wouldn’t give our table more than 1 brunch menu, but then the food on their website menu is wrong so you can’t even reliably reference that. Food was great, but you should order the bulk up front rather than trying to do multiple rounds because things can take up to 30 minutes to come out.“

“I haven’t been home to DC area in about 8 years and my first stop was to get some chicken wings with mambo sauce and fries. We decided to try Eddie’s since it was nearby where we were staying! The food came out perfect! My family and I was very pleased! Next time we visit DC area from Oklahoma, we will definitely stop by to Eddies to grab some food! No complaints! My wife and daughter was very satisfied with everything as well! Shrimp and fried rice was good too!“

“I've ordered from this place sooo much. I always get the sashimi, I usually get the sashimi platter. This last time I got the sashimi appetizer + vegetable dumplings. I have learned that this is one of the sushi places that plays with the term, "white fish." Some places use it for white tuna, some use it for yellowtail etc. I got the sushimi appetizer as it was advertised as salmon, tuna, and white fish--my favorites, except not the white fish I wanted lol. This was more translucent, and half-pink. That was my gamble. Can't really tell what the white sashimi I get in the platter is, I think its white tuna, but I won't make the mistake again.Nice, solid slices of shaved ginger. Good if you're sick! I do wish the sashimi came with a condiment cup like the veggie dumplings did. Veggie dumplings were fine, nice and plump.Also love that the place is open late--I've been a night owl my whole life, so works for me!5 stars overall. I've only been in-person once, and it was very pleasant. You need to be let in, which doesn't take long. Lots of randos wandering around Chinatown so I get it.“

“I would describe this restaurant as Cantonese style, and some Chinese-American dishes. It is also a very good place to eat.
This time, I had Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and it was really yummy. I also had 1/2 Lbs of BBQ roast pork with it It was really tasty. It made me happy all day, a good Chinese meal. It feels very Chinese, which is good, too. Hot tea pot for free with the meal. That Chinese broccoli with the oyster sauce is probably extremely healthy.
I suggest you go or at least try Full Key in Wheaton. They have lunch specials. I may go back for the beef and broccoli special, next time. One time I had sweet and sour Chicken or Pork it was really a tasty dish, real tasty. They have lots of nice traditional Hong Kong style soups. Duck and pork. Everything a fan of Chinese food could or would want. Thanks, Full Key,
James“

“Panda Cafe is the only Chinese restaurant I go to—and for good reason! The food is always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious😋. The staff are incredibly kind and polite, and the service is impressively fast. The restaurant is clean, and they package everything so well for takeout. I genuinely love this place. Thank you for the amazing service and consistently great food! I used to live 3 min away from here, now I live about 25min away but I still always come here💙!“

“It’s my favorite Chinese food in Downtown Silver Spring! They are very clean, extremely polite and fast. My favorite dish is the Hunan Beef and the fried chicken and shrimp egg rolls are excellent all at a very good price. I really like these folks… good people good food and friendly service!“

“The food was very good I was quite surprised how good it was. I ordered the buffalo wings, fried rice, steak & cheese & a triple mix drink. The buffalo sauce was on point & the triple mix was so bomb. My favorite new carryout.“

“I’ve been coming to this establishment since I was 12 years old , I am 23 now. I’ve tried every food on their menu and it is honestly really really good. The customer service is 10/10 they really take care of me and my family for very long. They also make all the food fresh and reasonably on time. My favorite to go meal is the orange chicken white rice and 4 wings fried rice with mumbo sauce.“

“I ordered on UberEats yesterday after seeing a TikTok review on them. 10/10 would recommend. I ordered 4wings with mumbo sauce, shrimp egg roll, and shrimp and broccoli. Everything was bomb. Best mumbo sauce in the city hands down. I could tell by the color it was going to be fire! Wings were seasoned and good. Shrimp and broccoli was torch. Shrimp egg roll actually had a nice amount of shrimp. Everything was so goood. Only carry out I’m going to from now on.“

“They served hot green tea with delicious egg foo young! The staff was friendly and found the warmest seats in the restaurant for us in the very cold weather. I would definitely come back again.“

“China Cafe is torch hands down!! They got that good bright red mumbo sauce. Anything fried always fresh. Fish sandwich like that and steak nd cheese bomb. Im sure the other food is good too, but those are just my go to’s. The staff is friendly and respectful to the community. Yall go getchu some!!“

“I've been coming to China dynasty for at least 25 years I believe. One thing that I have found that I love that they have is they make a great steak and cheese sandwich. It's actually better than Ledo's . Very fast service. Was ready in 15 minutes. The staff is very courteous and just a wonderful family run place pick up food from. Give them a try they are really Great Americans as well!!“

“Ordered through DoorDash and overall had a great experience. The chicken wings were seasoned very well—crispy on the outside and flavorful all the way through. The shrimp egg foo young had plenty of flavor and a rich, savory gravy. The tofu and mixed vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, and the fried rice tied everything together nicely.

My only real disappointment was the french fries—they arrived cold and stale, which stood out since everything else was hot and fresh. Still, the food quality was solid and I’d definitely order again.“

“I am Chinese. I have eaten a lot of Chinese food in my life. This is excellent Chinese food and certainly the best I’ve had in DC proper thus far. The Kung pao chicken and house special soup in particular are spot on. No notes. Just order it“

“The food is wonderful. I had hot and sour soup, sweet and sour shrimp and egg fried rice. Everything was delicious. I had the lunch special. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely come again and maybe try something new. I was very happy with my experience. Parking is easy and plentiful. A great experience.“
