27 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.“

“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. ^^“

“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 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.“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“The best soup dumplings / xiaolongbao in the DMV!! We have tried soup dumplings from Bobs Shanghai, Yus Noodles, A&J, and even the new Nan Xiang at Montgomery Mall, but we still keep coming back to Shanghai Taste.

Both their steamed soup dumplings and pan fried soup dumplings are absolutely delicious.

It is a small family owned restaurant. The service is quick, if not the most warm. The food is hot and delicious! Prices are great relative to their portions.“

“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.“

“Visited for dim sum for the first time today. There was no wait at 11am on a Sunday, perhaps the nice spring weather today kept people away and outside. Shrimp dumplings, pork buns, egg tarts, broccoli with oyster sauce, fried squid, pork fried rice, sesame balls were all good. Service was fast and friendly, environment was clean and pleasant. For a family of four the bill was $100 and we left very full. Would come back.“

“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!“

“Pleasantly surprised of the quality of food here. Can't comment on the fusion Chinese food, but the two dishes I order - Chongqing Chicken and Basil Eggplant - were authentic, well-seasoned, and not oily. They used enough dried chili pepper such that the spice penetrates into the fried chicken. They got all components of the dish right also including peanuts, the numbness from peppercorn, and even the aromatics garlic and ginger slices. The eggplant dish was superb as well. The sauce has a consistency sufficient to coat the eggplant, and the larger eggplant pieces in the dish still had structure to them, not completely mushy. Will be back for sure. I wish there were two menus though, one for authentic Chinese food and one for American Chinese.“

“Everything on the menu is vegetarian. We love the house seaweed soup for two. Best imitation chicken in Rockville. My favorite is the ginger chicken with broccoli. But chicken with vegetables is also a winner! Huge menu! Great spot for vegetarian food.“

“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.“

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

“Solid spot, they do great lunch and dinner service, everything is always delicious and I just tried their dim sum menu today. It's a limited menu but everything was done well. Service is always fast and friendly, zero complaints. Place is small, no frills but totally fine. Yu Noodles is one of the many great east Asian restaurants in Rockville, and very affordable too.“

“The general tsos chicken was tasty. The spicy wonton was okay but the chili oil seemed to be too diluted. Looks to be a take out only place. My initial impression of the restaurant is that it's probably not a place to go out of the way for, but is good as something quick, affordable and tasty on the way home if you are looking for American-Chinese food.“

“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.“

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

“This is purely for take out food I got

4 stars for 4 reasons

1. Chicken fried rice was pretty good but nothing to rave out. Flavors just about the same as any other Chinese places. Chicken quite juicy and tender.

2. Price is fair for dinner

3. A lot of fried rice for what you pay

4. Quick service came out quick

Minus 1 star because they did not give me any utensils at all.“

“Been going here for many years. Always big portions. I love the wing, I love hormone induced wings. They are huge. 6pieces is the same as 12 pieces at a wing place. Got Pan fried shrimp noodles. No broccoli is not supposed to be fully cooked. (To one of the reviewers) lots of shrimp. Pretty tasty. Had to get American style general tso chicken. Also good. I have been to places that are mostly breading and little meat. This place is opposite. No more free tea. Condiments use to be out so you could get whatever you need. No more . No frills. Highly recommended . We got a lot of food“

“I go here all the time. The family couldn't be any sweeter or kind. Its meant to be take out, but they do have seats if you choose to eat inside. Very rare to see someone sitting and eating. I live close by so I take mine home to enjoy while watching tv. They have a huge variety and I have several favorites. The veggies have always been fresh and the generous amount of food and sauce that comes with your choice of dish is incredible. The rice is always fresh and soft. The hot oil I get on the side to make it my spice level is always added to my bag. I've been going here for like 25+ years occasionally. The service is fast and food always hot and delicious. Their spring rolls, wonton, crab rangoons, and soups are also a great addition to the meal. Will always support this place and the family that runs it. You will not find another place like it. Delicious food and friendly service.“

“We got catering from China Bistro for our dumpling party and had a wonderful experience! Super communicative, helpful, and most of all delicious!! The mama dumplings were great of course, but our carnivore-inclined guests were especially impressed by the veggie dumplings with chives. Highly recommend!“

“The food is absolutely amazing! We came in for dinner and they served the food pretty fast. The owner and servers are really nice and welcoming. Large portion size for everything we ordered. Very authentic and delicious stinky tofu :) Strongly recommend!!!“
