35 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“

“My husband and I have been here a couple of times now and the food we’ve tried never disappoints! Everything is delicious and for dishes that we thought were a bit too pricey, their generous portion definitely makes up for it! We especially love the fish dishes here. Great service too. One of our favorite spots whenever we’re in the area!“

“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. ^^“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“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!“

“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.“

“The restaurant is nothing fancy but is one of my favorite rice noodles soup. So many different soup varieties but I love kimchi fatty beef and my partner always gets tomatoes 🍅😆 And if you like spicy, highly recommend the Spicy Beef Tripe Rice Noodles!

You can choose to cook yourself at the table which is what we did. It comes with all the sides that you would put in the noodles soup. It's so much more fun 😁 and the soup is very hot so don't worry the meat will cook just fine. Such flavorful soup and silky smooth rice noodles, it's the best in the winter time.“

“I love this place for the vibe and the fact that it stays open until 2:00 a.m. is a huge bonus. Sometimes I’m just so hungry late at night and there’s nowhere else open. Weekends are especially fun when other diners get into the karaoke. It creates such a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

On my first visit, our server was named Vicky (or Vicki) she was super sweet, very attentive, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Overall, just a great server!

The food was decent, and I’ll definitely be coming back, mostly for the awesome late-night energy and fun vibe.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 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!!“

“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!“

“This place is SOOOO good. Wanted to introduce my dad to hot pot and THIS is the place I'm brining him to tomorrow. So many options, even if they didnt have skewers it'd be 10/10. But they do. So it's 15/10 for me. Keep doing what you do ya'll. We are regulars and always will be ❤️“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Got a massive portion of beef and broccoli with fried rice and a drink for their lunch special for like $12

It was delicious and after eating my fill I still have enough for dinner tomorrow, definitely worth it, especially if you're visiting The Congressional Plaza and want to eat somewhere quiet and safe from the crowds.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!!“

“Delicious good food. The place fills up Jam packed“

“Was working in the area around lunch and decided to give this place a try. The price is good for decent Chinese food. It could have slightly more flavor, but it wasn't bad at all for a quick bite. I just find it kind of weird that they don't include the prices for orders anywhere until you ask them.“

“Super friendly and super accommodating. This store is top notch. I’ve never done embroidery before and had no idea what to expect, but their products far exceeded whatever expectations I could’ve had. I am beyond pleased with how everything turned out and will definitely be bringing my future business back here. Thanks Gorman’s!“

“Despite the rumor that I heard about the Spot's food being not so good. I tried out this place because it was very eye-catching and I was surprised that it is a very good noodle soup. The both was light, not too fatty and the beef tripe was quite flavorful.“

“To say this restaurant is really good would be an understatement. This place is definitely going to be my #1 Chinese takeout from now on. Their food is absolutely amazing, and their staff is always so kind. They even gave me a free large sweet tea. Delicious food, and great service.“

“Please check all your food before sale someone 🤮🤮“
