Dim Sum Restaurants near Rockville, MD

“6/27/26: Corner Bites was a solid stop during our visit to Rockville and a great option if you’re looking for authentic Cantonese-style Chinese food. The restaurant has a no-frills, neighborhood feel, and the focus is clearly on the food.

We ordered the BBQ Pork Rice Roll, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Sliced Fish Stir Fry with Chinese Greens, and the Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. The BBQ pork rice roll was a great way to start the meal, with silky rice noodles wrapped around tender char siu and topped with a light soy sauce. The Yang Chow fried rice was well seasoned, packed with ingredients, and had that classic wok flavor without feeling greasy.

The standout dish for me was the Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. The noodles had a nice mix of crispy and soft textures, and the generous portion of shrimp, fish, squid, and vegetables made it easy to share. The Sliced Fish Stir Fry with Chinese Greens was another highlight, with tender fish and fresh vegetables cooked simply enough to let the ingredients shine.
Service was efficient, and the food came out quickly despite the restaurant being fairly busy. The dining room is clean and comfortable, though it’s definitely more of a casual neighborhood restaurant than a place you’d visit for the atmosphere.

Overall, I’d give Corner Cafe 4/5 stars. The food was fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced, with a couple of standout dishes that I’d happily order again. If you’re in the Rockville area and craving Cantonese comfort food, it’s definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back to explore more of the menu.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“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“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! No I'm not employed here! I have to limit myself to once every other week. After being in the restaurant industry for 25 years I DEFINITELY respect this places consistency. Try it out.“

“Korean BBQ sandwich came out hot and with fresh toppings pretty quickly after I ordered. But it was a bit bland, I wish it had more flavor. The payment system is a little confusing, order food on one, then take the receipt over to pay and then you have to use a different system to order drinks. But staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Our whole family has been coming here since they opened more than 30 years ago. It's menu is classic — always delicious. Plus the staff treat you like friends and offer super service. Huge portions so there's always some to take-home. We've never had a lesser experience here in all these decades. A truly home-style, welcoming place with tasty dishes.“

“It’s a massive restaurant, spacious enough to accommodate weddings for hundreds of guests. As a matter of fact, there’s a traditional Chinese wedding decoration of double happiness and dragons on the wall by the entrance. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was Cantonese-style, with generous portions. The menu was like a giant book with all kinds of dishes and party menus.
We had fried Salt and Pepper Fish and Pork Flakes with String Beans. Both dishes had mild flavors.“
