50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Takoma Park

“We’ve had a hard time finding a go to Chinese restaurant in the area. We’ve ordered from here a few times, most recently moo goo gai pan and triple delight. Food was cooked to perfection (meat was tender, veggies were both soft & crispy), but lacks some of the typical Chinese veggies like water chestnuts and baby corn. Good balance of vegetables and meat, large portions.“

“I ordered from Beijing Delight.
The General Taos Shrimp. It was specially poignant and fresh. Their broccoli was highly nourishing and it eclipsed the flavor of the shrimp, easily. I saw signs that the food sources were sincerely thanked. I do not know where Beijing Delight is coming from but their recipe is quite refreshing and their philosophy is clean and small ego. It isn't greasy takeout, it is from the high pan of quality! This is my first time but I am thankful for the zen of Beijing Delight, clean cooked and subtlely fresh, its quality visible in the aura. Listen, I'm telling you the veggies eclipsed the shrimp, difficult to do and passionately cooked 5/5

I am thankful I chose them, a good fate chinese gourmet“

“It’s a takeout restaurant with no seating. The ordering area is clean and well lit.
The customer service is really really good. They talk to you respectfully on the phone, which I really appreciate.
I ordered shrimp and broccoli as well as orange chicken and I really liked both. The shrimp are big and juicy and they give you a good portion. The broccoli is crisp and fresh, I actually ordered twice in a week. The fried rice is okay, I’ll ask for eggs and veggies in it next time.
They also have decent prices!!
I’m very picky when it comes to Chinese food, and they are yet to disappoint me.
I will definitely be back.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs so you can just roll right in.“

“A cute place in a cozy spot filled with joy and anticipation. The menu changes often so, if you look online and salivate at one of the photos, there is a good chance what you desire has morphed into something else. But fear not, the chef has surely created something new you willingly dive into.

I had the beef short ribs Chinese style. As my mother would say, when she is commenting on a dish, it was nice. That is a higher praise than most, but I feel it was appropriate for this dish. It wasn’t what I was expecting for a place with such high accolades. More like Korean Kalbi with Szechuan spice. Just a suggestion, maybe work on the presentation and add some coconut sugar to the marinade to balance out the flavor of the dish. It was served with an apple slaw that was also, nice, as it was the tangy acidic element to the dish. As the meat was spicy and the slaw tangy I was left yearning for that great balance of flavor great asian food has—spicy, sweet, tangy all in one bite.

I also had the lotus dumpling and that was delightful— maybe the same critique, just missing one thing, but I can’t put my finger on it yet.

The food was good and would definitely go back if I could find a nice date (almost impossible nowadays unless you pay upfront). Service was excellent and the ambiance made you feel warm and welcome. You should try this spot and order a lot more than I did to get a true experience of what this place has to offer.“

“Very friendly and lovely owner! The food was absolutely delicious and everything was prepared by him personally. I didn’t think vegetarian noodles could be made in such a way, but the dish was truly excellent. The same goes for my husband’s dumplings. We enjoyed everything very much. I highly recommend it to everyone!“

“The sesame chicken bao bun was fantastic. We also loved the chicken and ginger dumplings and the chicken soup dumplings. Delicious hot food perfect for a cold day. Patrick was so friendly and gave us great customer service. We’ll be back to see him.“

“Amazing food great bartender Oscar!!! A win is a win and i highly recommend!!! Ian the manager is a friend you didn’t know you would make!!“

“We finally found a great Chinese restaurant worth sponsoring!The food is excellent, fresh and they have healthy options. We really enjoy steamed chicken and broccoli, steamed dumplings and rice noodles. The owner is a wonderful young man and the employees are very kind. Truly a neighborhood gem.“

“Been scouting this place for about 3 weeks for a birthday dinner. I called over a week in advance for a party of 7 - 13 people. They were able too accommodate and the food was GOOOOOD! That hotpot was smokin and I thought I choose a milder one but it was excellent in taste for me. Now this was the first time I have had it so don't come at me if it doesn't hit you taste buds the same.“

“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“

“❣️Wow, wonderfully delicious.
Had Starla as a waitress and she was simply such a gem, was very timely with everything. Sweetly explained the menu and gave incredible recommendations!
Because of her attentiveness I would 10/10 visit again.

The food was delicious, bubble tea flavors and pearls were fresh and simple. I would say it leans more toward an America flavor pallet depending on your selection but Im sure there are some sophisticated options if that's where your pallet tends to lean.

I got the chai latte light sugar&ice and my hubby greatly enjoyed Starla's PineappleMango suggestion. So yummy, so fun.

I love the bright decor and semi-exclusive dining options; certainly would love to meet the family here during an outing.

The bathroom was super clean and had a large mirror great for freshening up.

Certainly would recommend for DC visitors.

I got the Lucky dumpling back. Personal favorite of the bunch was the black Truffle so I know next visit which basket I'll lean more toward.

✨️BONUS: Their bowl, cups and utensil charger had a very elegant weight to them which was incredibly comforting and added a coziness to the experience.

All in all, great spot for mid-day nummies🥟🧋☺️👍✨️“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is another Peter Chang location - so if you are familiar with the DC dining scene, you can already guess: this place is fantastic. The decor makes it look a little fast casual, but the food is phenomenal. Possible the best mala (numbing spice) I have ever had.

Memorable, and incredible- spice fried fish, spicy wontons, scallion pancake, shrimp dumplings, soup.

Also good - BBQ Buns, soup dumplings“

“I was excited to try this new dumpling spot since I heard it just opened. I tried to make a reservation ahead of time since it was the weekend, but there seemed to be an issue with their system and it wouldn’t go through. So I had to just show up and ended up waiting a long time to get seated.

However, once we got in, the food was actually really good and everything came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The reservation issue and the wait weren’t great, but the dumplings were tasty enough that I’d go back again.“

“This is another take out Chinese place like called Wing Wah . This s a place you must either call in order food or order online through their website . This place is family owned and Well respected . I love this place because y family and I hae ordered out from this place many times . I love the Sweet Am Sour Shrimp, Shrimp Fried Rice regular rice , Egg Drop Soup, Sweet and Soyr Chichen and more . This is the best take out Chinese place in the Colesville Shopping Center. As you enter in there is a take out customer Service barista arw where you meet the family who owns the place help you . In the back, They have a closed Concept kitchen where the magic happens to make your favorite Chinese traditional foods you'll ever have . If you love tis place as I do , This place is for you . We look forward to seeing you all there very soon .“

“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.“

“Saw an influencer raving about this so off we went to try for ourselves. So glad we did, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We opted for the AUCE dim sum which they offer on the weekends. Part of what I liked about this is you order off the menu not a rolling cart coming by like many dim sum places. This way I could read through all the options and know what I wanted to try. And not be disappointed if I ordered something I didn’t like. But this was not an issue here, there was nothing we ordered that wasn’t delicious!!! Dave kept asking what my favorite dish was but I couldn’t answer, it was all so good! So many choices but we couldn’t fit in all of what we wanted to try. We can’t wait to go back to try other dishes! The staff was always checking in with us, offered suggestions and made sure our teapot stayed filled. Do yourself a favor and go try it for yourself!“

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

“Their selection of lunch specials, with a beverage, checks the boxes for value and portion size. No frills service: order, pay (cash is king), take away or dine in.

The chicken with broccoli, with white rice was more than enough for lunch. The hot made-to-order broccoli tasted fresh and sweet; chicken was juicy and tender. I thought there was too much oyster sauce.

Next time, order light on sauce!

In DC, a good atmosphere indicator on whenever a Chinese restaurant has props with their chops is when I hear locals speak Chinese, with tourists, locals, and Americans. Four stars!“

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

“This was the most authentic, delicious, Chinese food I've had since visiting China back in 2007. It brought back so many memories, I could have cried. I had the black vinegar peanuts, red chili sesame dumplings, and the minced pork noodles. I can't wait to go back. This is food I'll dream about.“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“Food is good. They need to clean the restaurant.
Restaurant. owner is very nice. The lady server who needs customers service skills.
Also they need to speak English when customers are around. Not in their language. Very rude.
Overall we give them 6 points over 10.“

“Absolutely delicious food! I first came here six years ago for my husband’s birthday after hearing about the restaurant from a foodie. It’s an unpretentious spot with incredibly good food. We ordered 10+ different dishes that first time and loved everything, especially the dan dan noodles and the pork bun. Nothing can ever compare to their Dan Dan noodles no matter how many times we order them from different restaurants!

We moved far away after a few years, but when we came back to visit friends this month, this was the first restaurant we wanted to return to. The food was just as delicious as it was six years ago. Highly recommend!“

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

“The food here is authentic and tastes just like real Chinese home-style cooking. The service is friendly and attentive and the environment is cozy, and relaxing. I highly recommend this restaurant to nearby students and anyone who loves genuine Chinese cuisine. Definitely worth a visit.“

“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.“

“BEST LO MEIN I have had in a long long long time. Didn’t know it was possible to find a place that cooked it like this. Perfect texture, delicious. My favorite Chinese food place. Will be ordering at least every two weeks. Praise the chef.“

“Foo Lin continues to be absolute perfection. Every single time we come here, it’s five stars — no exceptions.

This visit, we tried the Hunan flounder special, and wow. The flounder was incredibly fresh — succulent, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The Hunan sauce it came with was bold, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. I’m genuinely excited to post the pictures because we were too busy enjoying the food to do it justice in the moment.

As always, the hot and sour soup hits every single time. The spring rolls are amazing, the egg rolls are amazing, and the spicy shrimp dumplings are out of this world. There is not a single miss on the menu.

And the service? Truly unmatched. The bartending and hospitality here are exceptional. Ms. Lin and Jenny is also absolutely amazing — warm, attentive, and consistently wonderful. The staff makes you feel like family, not just customers.

I’ve been coming to Foo Lin for over 20 years, and I can honestly say it’s the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I will never love another place the way I love this one. The food, the service, the consistency — it’s all just incredible.

If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. It is and always will be a favorite“

“If you’re looking for consistently delicious Asian food in DC, Dumplings and Beyond is the place. Their dumplings are perfectly made—soft, flavorful, and packed with filling that keeps us coming back. The orange chicken is crispy with just the right balance of sweet and tangy, while the kung pao chicken delivers that satisfying kick of spice. The broccoli beef is tender, savory, and always fresh.

This is the only Asian restaurant we order from because every dish is reliably excellent. Dumplings and Beyond has earned our loyalty with food that never disappoints.“

“We've been eating here for over 20 years and it has always been good. It is recently under new management and the way some items are prepared has changed, but still very tasty -- just a new twist on an old favorite. The one thing the new management needs is someone who knows their way around a bar. The people there this week had a very limited range of knowledge about drinks (gin on the rocks got a blank look), but once you explained they happily made a very acceptable drink.“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“Such a nice place right at the start of china town. The sushi is so fresh, recommend the salmon roll, salmon avocado and tuna avocado. The crispy tuna rice was so yummy. Miso soup always hits the spot, the chicken teriyaki was also yummy. The prices are so good for happy hour. Perfect lunch spot!“

“This is a nice reminder of what authentic Chinese food taste like. We tried slices beef with peppers, spring rolls, egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice. Everything was piping hot and well flavored.

The only thing to be modified is the time it took to take drink orders and the order of food delivery (the preference is for appetizers to come out before the meal but asking the customer if all is desired together is good).

The venue is spacious, the light is well balanced and it has nice music playing juat enough to set the scene for authentic cuisine. We will definitely be back when we return to DC.“

“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!😘“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“Good Hot Food, Prefer Cash, Hard to park but can across the street. Suggest visiting during day light. Extra charge for any additional condiments but they give you a heafty amount. Not an Eat in establishment but can sit in windowsill comfortably. My only go to Chinese Spot when tempted“

“super pretty cafe with great selection of food and pastries! the braised chicken and tofu rice bowl is delicious will definitely be ordering again…. also great place to bring if u/your friend is vegan they have a lot of options i order even though i eat meat :p“

“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.“

“Had a delicious dinner at Full Key restaurant. Ordered garlic shrimp Chinese broccoli & hot tea. Large portions, excellent service. My family goes here regularly, we love it! I accidentally left my purse there, & they had held it for me~ thank you, Full Key!“

“Delicious everything!!! I usually make my own tabouleh, but there’s is so great I get it from Muncheez. And the labne is the best. My daughter loves the shawarmas. Love the drinks too!!!“

“Not only is every dish delicious, but the service at Isshin is so warm, so welcome and so lovely. Secret menu item is the handmade dumplings (they have two types so ask for these specifically). Their miso soup is very rich but not overly salty, which can be difficult to find, yet it is here daily and for a good price. I’m particularly in love with their udon noddles, which I get vegetarian with tofu, and the veggies are perfectly crisp. Their sushi rolls are fresh and I never get the seaweed burps. They know us when we walk in and make my wife and I feel like family. Become a regular, it’s worth it.“

“I went here before seeing a show at signature theater. The food was incredible. The garlic shrimp dumplings, which were packed with shrimp in a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the orangish chicken, which was a large portion, crispy, and delicious. The iced coffee was great too. Definitely going back!“

“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!!“

“Yesterday was my husband and I first time actually ordering from this carryout. I was craving a steak and cheese and my husband reminded me of Jerry Chans, which save us a drive because usually we would go Uptown NW DC to order our steak and cheese subs. We drive pass Jerry Chans almost everyday, but what throws us off is the fact that there is always vagrants around that area.... Anyway we called in our order and when we arrived I introduced myself to a nice lady that works there name Jane. Very pleasant lady. Omg our steak and cheese subs where perfect and loaded with plenty of steak.... Finger licking good.. we definitely will be coming back to try other foods.“

“Authentic, no-frills, all-flavor DC carry-out food, with fried chicken wings, original-style DC mambo sauce, fried rice with plenty of onions and bean sprouts, french fries made as you ask with salt, pepper, ketchup, a steak and cheese with seasoned meat and plenty of fillings, I prefer getting it with everything and hot peppers, and it was the nostalgic, savory taste I'd been looking for since loving in DC and moving to VA 10 years ago. This spot has great food. Make sure you have Zelle or cash, they don't take credit cards and there's an ATM inside.
I got a half steak and cheese woth everything on it plus hot peppers, an order of French fries with salt, pepper, ketchup, and 3 wings with fried rice with mambo sauce on everything. Plus I got an extra container of mambo sauce for dipping. It was less than $20. Wait time was maybe 10 minutes.“

“The place is calm and the service is good they are very politely people but the only complain is that the food was better before I dont know if they had change the cookers or the recipes but lately I bought a wings with French fries and beef broccoli and shrimp lo mein so the rice of the beef broccoli which was for my wife was very dry hope the manager watch this message and solve this problem.“

“The staff was unbelievable. We had a couple of food allergies and they worked with us the entire time to accommodate us in every way. Alexi was our primary waiter and was amazing but everyone top down was great. Can't wait to go back as the food was delicious, still eating leftovers.“

“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.“

“Love enjoying lunch and dinner here. I enjoy the staff and make sure you make reservations because the weekend evenings get pretty packed. Good food Good atmosphere Good staff Highly recommend“
