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.“

“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.“

“Ordered via DoorDash to my sister. She raved about the dumplings and said they're clearly homemade. Also ordered the Singapore rice noodles and chicken & rice soup with scallions added on top. We were hoping for jook (congee), but it was more brothy, still tasty though. Would recommend and order again.“

“You know you’re going to have good food when the servers get excited about your menu decisions. Everything was absolutely wonderful. We got to sit at the bar with a direct view of the kitchen. I don’t know if the octopus or the truffle dumpling was my favorite, but I know I’m getting both when I go back. The whole fried snapper had a delicious light breading. The duck noodles were tasty too; I will probably try to get it spicier next time. I’ll likely be back in a couple of weeks. I’m still thinking about the food. Also, this husband-wife team perfected my experience by ensuring such excellent service. They need to teach a workshop to other restauranteurs.“

“Excellent staff & fun atmosphere“

“The most affordable, fast and tasty lunch option in the area. It’s a family-owned spot with great lunch specials and options for vegetarians. Highly recommend. It’s more of a takeout spot, but they have a few seats if you need to eat lunch in house“

“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“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is in my top 3 takeout spots for the Crystal City area. The Mapo Tofu and Stone Pot Tofu Fish dishes are my favorites, but I haven't had anything bad yet. This is not your standard American style Chinese restaurant. The flavors are significantly more interesting. Be prepared for things to be spicy, in a terrific way.“

“Love this place! Happened upon it when I worked close by and went twice in one 3 days! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, and their little server robot is adorable. The pork soup dumplings were the best I've had since returning to the states. Incredibly rich and meaty! Definitely check this place out!“

“Admittedly I’m inflating my rating because it’s hard to find good, not overly Western fusion-ed, Asian food in DC. I wouldn’t (and can’t) go anywhere else for dry pot and veg mapo tofu. Didn’t care for the dumplings I’ve tried so far but I will definitely continue working my way through the menu. I very much appreciate that this place exists on H St!“

“I've been to this restaurant many times, and overall, the quality of the food is quite consistent.

The Spicy Peanuts and Sichuan Pickles are delightful starters.

The multi-flavored Peanuts (complimentary) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The peanuts have a complex mix of flavors—those who like it will really enjoy it, while others may find it a bit overwhelming. However, the peanuts themselves are always crisp and fresh.

Sichuan Pickles (complimentary) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They don’t taste exactly like traditional Sichuan pickles, leaning a bit on the sweeter side. But they are still very crunchy and refreshing.

Boiled Sea Bass ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We often order the Boiled Sea Bass in Spicy Sauce. The spice level is just right, and the fish is tender and flavorful. I recommend spending a bit extra to get the sea bass instead of tilapia; it's well worth it, as the sea bass is much tastier.

Fragrant Thousand Page Tofu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?

It is served over a small hot stove, keeping it warm and adding to the satisfaction of the dish, especially in the winter.
The Spicy Sliced Conch is a must-order for me because I love the crisp texture of the conch slices. The spicy and numbing flavor is spot-on. They also offer a mustard-flavored version, which is quite good as well.

Pork Tongue with Teatree Mushroom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is another favorite. The pork tongue is tender, and the unique aroma of the teatree mushrooms makes this dish outstanding.

Beef with Black Fungus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is both delicious and budget-friendly. The beef is tender, and there’s a generous amount of black fungus, making it a satisfying choice.

Garlic Water Spinach ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is decent—not particularly exciting, but it doesn’t disappoint either.

The restaurant’s ambiance is average, with a slightly worn feel. However, they do have a private room that can seat 10-12 people, offering good privacy.

For parking, you'll need to use the nearby garage. The first two hours are free, and after that, it’s $3 per hour.

“Placed a pick up order for some edamame, dumplings and Thai curry chicken and it was all amazing but what made the experience everything was the daughter of the owners. She had some jokes and had me cracking up. If the owners read this keep her in front she’s a breath of fresh air. Will return“

“Great Dining Experience at Chang Chang!

I recently dined at Chang Chang, and it was a great experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and stylish, setting the perfect mood for a memorable meal.

Food: The menu is a delightful fusion of flavors, showcasing both traditional and contemporary Asian cuisine. We tried the Sichuan Spicy Dumplings and the Korean BBQ Beef, and both were outstanding. The ingredients were fresh, and each dish was a harmonious blend of spices and textures.

Service: The service was impeccable. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and made excellent recommendations, ensuring our dietary preferences were met without compromising on taste.

Ambiance: The decor is modern with a touch of traditional elegance, making it a great place for both casual dining and special occasions. The lighting and seating arrangement added to the overall comfort and aesthetic appeal.

Value: While on the higher end, the prices are justified by the quality of food, service, and atmosphere. You get what you pay for – a top-notch dining experience.

In summary, Chang Chang is a gem for anyone who appreciates fine dining with a creative twist on Asian cuisine. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit!“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“Consistently delicious and reliable. A neighborhood staple. Love the beef and onion dumplings, general tso’s chicken, broccoli shrimp… so many incredible things to try and with generous portions. Delivery from their website is fast as well.“

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

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

“A must-visit gem in Seven Corners, this unassuming spot is a local favorite known for its authentic Chinese cuisine and generous portions. I decided to try their cumin fish dish, and I was blown away. The fish was cooked to perfection, flaky and tender, and the cumin seasoning was a perfect balance of savory and spicy. If you're a fan of Sichuan cuisine, Hong Kong Palace definitely delivers. Their Mapo tofu is a must-try, with its numbing spiciness and rich flavor. The dumplings are also incredibly delicious, with a thin, chewy skin and a flavorful filling. The service is warm, friendly and attentive, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality experience,“

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

“Very clean and great decor, instagram worthy!! The food was simply AMAZING. Authentic and full of flavor and quality. They make the bread buns for the burgers in house ?? I live 45 minutes away and will be back for sure. 100% worth fighting the traffic to get here and I mean that. Also they have some great drink options. The watermelon lime soda was so cute and very tasty!

Parking: Free street parking just behind the block it’s on“

“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.“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“Since Eastern Gourmet has opened it has become our go-to for great Chinese takeout. We have ordered an extensive amount of the menu and there aren't any dishes that haven't blown us away. The food is amazing, the service is attentive, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.“

“Under another person’s recommendation I decided to try Shanghai lounge. I ordered 3 things from the menu and I loved them all!!!!! Food was very tasty and flavorful. Best spring rolls, spicy cold sesame noodles and rice noodles with peanut sauce!!!!! ????“

“Amazing and extraordinary flavors bursting with each bite. Bao Bei is a local favorite for a reason - they’re incredible! Owner/operators are down to earth and genuinely nice people, who also know how to treat customers right and run a business.“

“This is some seriously good Ameri-Chinese food. Fresh, flavorful, great portions—all for a respectable price. Yes, it’s carry-out only. Assuming that’s why they’re able to keep the prices so low. But I loved swinging by here on my way home because the family who owns the place are so, so sweet.“

“I would consider myself a connoisseur of all Asian foods from Chinese to Japanese, Korean ,Vietnamese, Thai and everything in between. House of Foo Ling is definitely a favorite . The owner is so personable and always remembers that I like her soft shell crab dish which is cooked to order and always outstanding. I also enjoy The Egg Foo Yung , Thai Basil Shrimp, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, as well as the Orange chicken or Orange shrimp. I can’t wait to take my family as I know they will enjoy it as much as my best friend and I do. You will never be disappointed.!!! 10/10 ❤️“

“General tso's chicken was actually crispy. For once, I ate the entire chicken with broccoli dinner combo. Perhaps the best chinese-american restaurant for the area, but that standard varies with your taste, sauce preference, spiciness, etc ??‍♀️“

“I had a taste for some carryout food so I decided to try this spot. I ordered fries with mumbo sauce and a cheeseburger. The mumbo sauce was good. The burger was good as well. I will be going back there again when I have a taste for carryout food.“

“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!😘“

“Got take out twice in one week. Both times everything we ordered was so good! And the prices are great, esp for DC! Can’t wait to come back to DC to get the wonderful sushi from here again! The sashimi app and the jalapeño yellowtail roll are phenomenal! Highly recommend.“

“Ordered for delivery. The bulgogi and vegetable stir fry were super tasty and had just the right amount of heat. Also ordered kimchi and the pickled cucumbers on the side. The cucumbers could’ve used a little more kick but overall, would definitely order again! :)“

“I arrived at the new place without much expectations and happily I found a place if the atmosphere is very nice everything is clean and tidy. Pleasant music in the background. I ordered two dishes, one Dry Fried Eggplant and the other Sze Chianti Kung Pao chicken. Both dishes were very tasty. I really enjoyed sitting down. The service of the waiters was really fantastic, I'm sure I'll come again“

“Food was very fast and very fresh. Tasty. Wine is good) recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Couple of kids around. Clearly stuff is really to help. Other customers doesn't feel uncomfortable. Appreciate it as a mother without child here“

“I think this place needs higher stars. We're visiting from Florida and made our way to Chinatown and were looking for a decent place to eat. The food and service was excellent. Better than I expected. We ate the curry chicken which tasted like real curry. Sesame chicken was fresh and flavorful. The food came out quickly. I highly recommend this place.“

“The ONLY place in DC I get chinese food from. They have massive portions and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. I always get lo mein, seasame chicken, wonton soup and a taro boba tea. It lasts me for multiple meals which is perfect for my busy schedule. Also, the owner is an absolute gem of a human being. She takes alot of pride in her restaurant and it shows in her kindness, hospitality and delicious food. Thanks for keeping me full and happy!“

“My wife and often escape our condo office for their tasty and inexpensive lunch. We also get delivered food from them. No delivery charge, but we tip the driver well. We love their eggplant dishes, meaty spare ribs, duck and so far almost everything on their extensive menu.“

“This place is a hidden gem. It is constantly visited by people picking up their orders, which means the food is in high demand. If you order off the happy hour menu, you will get a deal compared to other places in the nearby area. I would describe the prices as fair for the DC area.

It is a well-managed venue that still looks shipshape. The ambiance is good for a birthday party or corporate event.

Parking: Free validated parking on the Vermont Avenue side of the garage, not the Westin side.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs or steps.“

“Highly recommend Bostan Uyghur! We started out by ordering the Eggplant Salad as an appetizer. It came out nice and warm fresh from the stove! With its spices and garlicky flavor, it really hit the mark! We then placed orders for the Chicken Kabab and the Dry Fried Soman noodles with beef. Both were spicely complex and absolutely delicious! Have to make another visit soon!“

“Amazing dim sum! Been looking for a dim sum place out here for a long time and this is it! Outstanding customer service! Staff speaks a variety of languages which was helpful! 🥟“

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

“Went on a Saturday afternoon before dinner rush. The skewers were on point with good table set up, we ended up removing the basket grill and use the slots for skewers. The hot pot was ok. This is a great ayce skewer place with ipad ordering and they bring the food out pretty quick.“

“Service was great and people were friendly. We went out of our way to try this place in hopes of finding “better”, but the food was not any different than any other take out Chinese food we’ve had and this place seemed more expensive. The thing I like most is their mambo sauce for wings- very good. We would probably go back if we were in the area.“

“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!!“

“Our go to place. Love that the expansion gives us the option to dine in or get delivery!“

“Kenny’s is a really solid carry out. The food is good. Not a ton of space to sit, which is typical of most Chinese food spots in this region. What stands out most about Kenny’s is the service. Unlike others, they don’t treat their customers like criminals, or like they’re afraid of us. The door to the back area is frequently opened. The employees greet me with a smile every time and ask me how my day is going. They remember me. They’re really kind and respectful, and as a black man, it’s rare to get that kind of service at a carry out. They usually just yell and poke food through bullet proof glass like they’re feeding sharks. It’s great to be treated like a fellow human being. I recommend the donuts. They’re super addictive!“

“Missing tuxedo black and white cat last seen Dec 5,2014 in Arlington, Virginia- near the Clarendon area Barton Street /10th St N. /Pershing Drive, Washington, Blvd / Clarendon Male B&W SH named "Whiskers" , 4 years old- black face and tail, white chest. # is 7O3/ 243 / 7411 I would really appreciate if you could spread the word since I live right near your establishment.Thank you!“

“Trust me, the egg foo young is not greasy and really good... Right now they are my best place for egg foo young in all of DC. Egg patties are nicely cooked.... Gravy is also not dark brown or heavy (ask for it on the side to control your portion) Tasty ??“

“I've been coming to China dynasty for at least 25 years I believe. One thing that I have found that I love that they have is they make a great steak and cheese sandwich. It's actually better than Ledo's . Very fast service. Was ready in 15 minutes. The staff is very courteous and just a wonderful family run place pick up food from. Give them a try they are really Great Americans as well!!“
