28 Best Chinese Restaurants in Rockville

“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“

“The Chongqing Spicy Chicken is fantastic every time. If you have never had it before this is the place to get it. All of the dishes I've tried are very fresh and aromatic, especially regarding the oils and sauces. It is very apparent that all the ingredients are of good quality. Service is polite and very quick.“

“The food here is passable, the customer service is terrible. They're supposed to provide a fork and napkins, but when you open the bag the food comes in, there's nothing. You have to keep asking, and they only give you one napkin. I mean, hi... very bad service. That's why they only get one star.“

“Best egg drop soup that I've had in years! The eggplant loves green bean was fantastic. We're ordering again tonight to try other items.“

“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. ^^“

“Omg, this place is amazing! Super chill vibes, food came out hot and fast (under 10 mins!), and it was so good. Kevin the manager is awesome, and the service was top-tier. One of the best Chinese spots I’ve ever been to—bring the whole family. Highly recommend!“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“Came here with a colleague and had the fried oyster appetizer and fried pork chop rice noodle in tomato broth. Both were excellent! Returned the next day with my hubby and had the fried jumbo shrimp appetizer and the beef flank rice noodle in tomato broth. Both were amazing! The name “Shi Miao Dao” or in Chinese “十秒到” means “arrive in 10 seconds”. In both my visits, the dishes indeed did arrive swiftly
, steaming hot and absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“I love this place! I've been here about five times now and it just keeps getting better. I always get just the basic AYCE for $27 and the meat is good for the price. The service is consistently good, and recently they added a make your own sauce bar, with a buffet of rice, noodles, fried rice, tons of vegetables and sides to choose from, as well as little cakes and ice cream included! Karaoke is always fun and the atmosphere is great.

Side note, they do validate parking but for 2 hours only. And they charge an additional $17 for food waste so be mindful of what you get. All in all, I recommend checking this place out!“

“Stopped by Double Lucky Star after a friend told me about it, and now I’m hooked. The roast duck is outta this world — crispy skin, tender meat, just the right amount of seasoning. Their BBQ pork’s got that perfect sweet-salty balance too.

What I really appreciate is how fresh everything tastes. You can tell it’s made right before pickup, none of that sitting-under-a-heat-lamp stuff. I usually grab a family combo after work — saves me cooking and the kitchen stays clean.

Folks behind the counter are always polite, even when they’re busy. Feels like they actually care about what they’re serving.

It’s not fancy, but it’s solid. Tastes like something your uncle would cook if he ran a BBQ shop in Hong Kong. Definitely worth a stop if you’re anywhere near Rockville.“

“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!!“

“Stepping into this place felt like I’d been teleported straight into Hong Kong—no plane ticket, no jet lag, just pure dim sum magic. The décor? Authentic down to the teapots. The air buzzes with people chatting in Chinese, which immediately told me: I’d stumbled into the real deal.

The dim sum came out piping hot, the tea never stopped flowing, and the service had that endearing “mom energy” where they ask what you want before you even know yourself. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and dangerously good.

Final verdict: five stars. So good I forgot to take photos—too busy living my best Hong Kong food fantasy right here at home.“

“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!“

“The food is authentic and delicious. From the dumpling noodle soup, seafood congee, string beans in garlic sauce, duck and other menu items; I have yet to have a bad meal here.“

“The egg drop soup is AMAZING. However, I found the steamed dumplings and spring rolls to be lacking flavor. The dumplings had large chunks of spring onion in them and barely any meat. Also, they were closer to Gyoza than Chinese dumplings. the spring roll had a great crunch, but barely any ingredients inside. I will definitely be going back for the soup and to try other dishes, but am disappointed so far.“

“This restaurant has been in business for many years, which proves the quality of the food is very good. I always take my grandmother here to eat because they have many vegetarian dishes. The interior and atmosphere aren't very appealing, but be polite because all the staff are elderly.“

“Honestly, one of the best Chinese food I have ever had. The flavors and texture of every dish are amazing. The service was perfect, they were patient and very knowledgeable explaining each of our menu questions, which by the way looks a little intimidating, but we loved it.

We were also impressed by the speed, I don't think we waited more than 5 min for the first dish to arrive, then it was one after the other.

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures, but we ordered
Square beef noodles(perfectly smoked)
Tofu with veggies
Crispy eggplant (my favorite) though it's (caramized) but the texture goes very well with all other dishes.
Soup pork dumplings

Can't wait to be back!“

“yum yum yum I ❤️ this place. me and my bf have gotten the same thing here like three days straight it’s just so solid and makes me really happy I can enjoy good Chinese food! I recommend the salt and pepper pork chops and the meatballs (no idea what they’re called on the menu). really really yummy!! I always do takeout so idk abt in-person service but I recommend!“

“First off, the waitress was so kind and attentive! Also, the portions are huge; the photo doesn’t even do it justice! I had the pork pan fried dumplings which were some of the best I’ve ever had and the Sichuan beef noodle soup which was good, but nothing spectacular. The broth was super flavorful but the noodles and beef itself were quite average. I probably won’t return for the soups, just out of personal preference towards bigger noodles, but the dumplings were delicious!“

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

“Rating vegetarian food - not sure about anything else.
They have a good selection, and the vegetables seem fresh.
I like to make sure there is no meat/ chicken/ or fish, broth, or otherwise, in the sauce (restaurants don't always think of that), so you'll want to ask if needed. I hope they don't have any chicken or meat broth in the vegetable dishes!
The vegetarian sushi is yummy, made to order.“

“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.“

“Asia Cafe serves delicious Chinese and Maylasian food. Ingredients are fresh and tasty, sauces are delicious. We like the vegetables included with the meat/fish & vegetables dishes, lots of them, all the regulars plus zucchini and other unusual choices. Their hot & sour soup, a bellwether for us is quite good. Prices are low end. The store is a mess. It’s really a takeout operation.“

“This is my neighborhood spot and to all of the naysayers. Please kindly stay out. This ain't P.F. Chang's or the French Laundry. This is a local family run Chinese take out run by some hard working people. Food is great and there ain't nothing better than something hot and savory to eat.“

“It is a homey little place. We enjoy the dumplings and noodle dishes.“

“Went there with my finance and we got great service , we loved that we were able to get on the waitlist so by the time we made it there it was our time, the food is incredible and always fresh.“

“If you like dumplings then this place is a must try! The variety is incredible from classic pork and chive to more adventurous fillings like fish and cilantro (my favorite!). Each dumpling is perfectly steamed with a chewy wrapper that holds a burst of flavorful filling inside. The skin is just the right thickness, not too thick not too thin, and the fillings are juicy and flavorful without being too greasy. The dipping sauces are also the perfect accompaniment - I usually mix vinegar, soy sauce and add the chili oil (spicy so add cautiously!). The perfect spot for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner with friends. Honestly this is the kind of place you’ll crave long after you leave. I always have to come here when I’m in the area! Cannot recommend enough!!“

“Authentic Taiwanese cuisine with freshest ingredients. We ordered the famous oyster pancakes, the oysters were huge and sweet. Can’t even find this quality in Taipei night market! The meat pie was excellent too with tender and juicy big chunks of pork and delicious sauce. We also had steamed fish with ginger and green onion slices. The smell just brought back all the nostalgia! They even accommodated our need for gluten! Three cheers for the chefs!!!
The decor is very tastefully done in the restaurant and the service is great! Will definitely come back!!!“
