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.“

“Beijing Delight, located at 8646 Flower Ave, Takoma Park, MD 20912, is a great spot for delicious food. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food here is absolutely tasty! I ordered the large chicken lo mein, and it was a generous portion packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, especially for the price. Definitely a great value—I’ll be coming back again for more!“

“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.“

“Our waiter, Caleb, was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and the dishes were interesting and unique. We were a party of 7, sat outside and really enjoyed ourselves. The pacing of all the dishes coming out was perfect. The only downside was that there was a man with a really large dog seated right next to us and the dog barked and whined (so loudly we could not hear each other) and it smacked into our chairs repeatedly. Once the man left things improved and we had a great experience.“

“The new space is super cute and the dumplings are just as tasty as ever! When we went, the vegetarians and meat-eaters in the group both loved "Livin' on the Vedge". Also super affordable and filling - 2 thumbs up!“

“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 moment you walk in, you realize that this place is special. From the attentive and courteous hosts to the richly-appointed intimate seating that is at once welcoming and comfortably exclusive, you instantly feel at home. Eli and the team do a fantastic job of ensuring that your food and drink orders are well-timed and as you request. The food is consistently great, and the richness of the flavors and brilliant, unpretentious presentations are always something to look forward to. This is a team that aims to meet or exceed your expectations. Astoria is one of the rare gems in the midst of Logan and DuPont Circles - and of DC writ large - that is a must-do when in town. If you can’t decide where to dine, you can always count on Astoria DC for approachable and affordable Szechuan cuisine and fun, creative cocktails for all your friends and family, and for all occasions.“

“So my first taste of Asian cuisine in DC. I hate so many people are going to QR codes instead of actual servers, but glad it works. Whole experience was about 30 minutes worth of dining total. We ordered the Mapo Tofu (Vegan), the Spicy Beef Noodles, and the lucky 6 soup dumplings (to get a sample of them all). The three I tasted were the seafood options, so the green/red/and yellow tipped pictured below. The green was gourd buffalo, shrimp, and pork. The red was scallops & pork. And the yellow tip was crab meat and pork. My date had the other three. Truffle & pork (black), pork & chicken (yellow), and pork (white). All items were extremely tasty, and the spicy levels were perfection. Only there whem you ate the item and then disappears. Nothing lingering too long. Rice was nice and sticky. The tofu was silky, but not mushy. My favorite was the bokchoy in the beef noodles. Still crunchy! Will most definitely recommend and return!“

“We did one day DC trip and visited this Chinese restaurant for lunch. My dad ordered a spicy beef soup, my little one had buns, dumplings, and spring rolls, my husband ordered non-spicy beef soup, I had a spicy sesame noodles with sesame rolls. We all loved what we ordered. Those are tasty authentic Chinese food. I was very satisfied with my spicy sesame noodles. They are delicious! I am so glad we tried this place. We will come back again for sure. The place is small but welcoming, it has indoor and outdoor spaces for dining. The staff is very kind and friendly. Luckily we were there early, there was a line afterwards when we started eating.“

“This was a great authentic Cantonese restaurant. I have been a frequent visitor since their soft opening. It is a bit sad that they are slowly switching menu to accommodate broader tastes, e.g. by including American-Chinese food and adding Sichuan style dishes. This is understandable given the demographics of the neighborhood and the market demand, but I do notice that the quality fluctuates for some skill-sensitive Cantonese dishes (e.g. 干炒牛河). It is also disappointing that the chicken in 啫啫煲 has been replaced with boneless chicken, which again is understandable to accommodate customers who don't like bone-in chicken, but that's just not how this dish is supposed to be made.

On the flip side of the menu changes, I like that they have added the Typhoon-style Lobster and Peking duck (I don't actually know why in the US many Cantonese restaurant offer Peking duck; maybe as a simple variation of HK-style roast duck.).

Overall, I hope this restaurant will flourish while maintaining its authentic taste and high standards!“

“Always really enjoy eating here and I’m confused why it isn’t packed! Dumplings are clearly homemade with wonderful chewy skin; the spice level options are perfect (and I love super spicy stuff); the cucumbers are the most flavorful I’ve ever had (I order them every time); meats are expertly cooked. Will be back regularly.“

“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“

“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!!“

“I’ve ordered three times here since Nov 2025, and the halal indication is what made me curious to try the place. I’m happy Hunan Cafe is in the neighborhood! The food is good and clean, meat portions generous, the white rice that comes as a side was fragrant and tasty. I’m not left second guessing my order unlike other Chinese take out spots that can be too oily or use too much MSG. The service is reliable and friendly.

More details: I’ve placed over the phone with no issue and have ordered using the kiosk. They securely pack the takeout. I’ve earned a reward through Toast, the ordering app. There’s plenty of space to eat-in, if you’d like. I haven’t had an issue with parking, it’s a strip / plaza lot shared with other businesses. Dishes I’ve tried: spicy chicken wonton, lo mein, Taiwan noodle with veggie, Szechuan beef, and La Zhi chicken.“

“Friendly and attentive staff! Had a few questions about some menu items and my waitress Lucy was quick to answer and give me some amazing suggestions. I ended up going with the sizzling bulgolgi. Was extremely delicious!! Will be coming back, thanks so much!“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is definitely my new go-to Chinese spot.

I submitted a large take out for my brothers birthday dinner and knew this spot was fire when they called to ask for clarification for my order. We ordered a two general tso chicken combination platter with fried rice, mei fun (thin noodles) with shrimp and also another one with chicken, general tso tofu combination platter and additional sides (fries + vegetable fried rice). I personally ate the chicken mei fun and the food was so good I forgot to get a picture. It was so flavorful and addicting. I added a bit of their chili oil on top and it was the perfect level of spicy that complimented my food. I spent about $108 for all our food which isn’t bad to serve 7 people.

I really like this spot and imma come back and try other items.“

“The streamed pork and chive dumplings from Dumplings and Beyond were authentic and the Ma Po To Fu was not. Based solely on my delivery order, both dishes were delicious. The plethora of sauces that accompanied the dumplings was very appreciated. The filling was flavorful with plenty of ginger and lacked any gristly leftovers while the wrapper was tender and perfectly cooked. The Ma Po To Fu was delicious and spicy. However, it lacked Szechuan peppercorn which give it the spicy, tingly flavor typically found in this dish. It also lacked pork. Overall, I recommend this restaurant, especially the dumplings, and am eager to visit in person.“

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

“Best bao in the DMV, hands down! Congrats on the new location. Nice space and good location. Lean into the front of house - you guys are rockstars!“

“I found the food and service to be good here. It's a modest restaurant that could do with a better atmosphere, but the prices are good for Chinatown and the staff were very nice and helpful.
All of the food was served in plastic containers, which is helpful for takeaway food, but it's not eco-friendly for a dine in meal. This is something I would highly recommend they change for the better.“

“Came for the bottomless Dim Sum and Peking Duck the food and cocktails were amazing!! Everything came out fast and hot, the duck was perfectly prepared. The service was tad slow but they did seem understaffed so I totally understand with that being said. At the end of the day I would go back and give it another go!“

“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!😘“

“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!!!“

“Outdoor picnics delight As good as usual“

“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.“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“The food is truly delicious and the portions are quite generous. Their vegetable spring rolls are the freshest and most delicious. Cucumber and garlic salad is definitely the best. Vegetable lo mein is super delicious. Their szechuan chicken and red peppers is very spicy but delicious. Beef sechuan very delicious. The service is professional, fast, and friendly. Emma was our hostess, she is extremely good, courteous, professional, and sweet. The place is nice, clean, but not fancy. .Most of the customers are Asians, proof it is very good. Definitely highly recommend, and definitely will go back again and again“

“In an area saturated with “carry out” it is nice to have an actual tasty Chinese Restaurant.“

“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.“

“We love Szechuan-style Chinese food, and this spot was a great find. It was casual, clean, and fast, with excellent quality and generous portions. The pork stir-fry in garlic sauce and flash-fried green beans with pickled cabbage were both super flavorful and paired really well together. The shrimp lo mein was delicious too. Overall, it was a great meal, and we’d definitely come back.“

“It is actually fully vegan!!! I’ve been vegan for almost a year and I am also Chinese, born and raised in China. I can testify that the cooking is great and the ingredients are fresh. Please order “three cup duck” as I just couldn’t get enough of it, and the basil in it is a special Chinese basil that you won’t find in a regular market in America!

P.S. the environment is so clean and peaceful. Unlike many hyped up plant-based restaurants, this place is lowkey but genuine. You get what you paid for! The service is very efficient, observative, and introvert-friendly:) you don’t need to chat/signal too much to get noticed about your needs.“

“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.“

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

“What a great spot! I was traveling through and just barely found this incredible locations and was greeted with a wide variety of delicious drinks. I wanted to come back but didn’t think I ever would be lo and behold I was back three days later. The girls taking orders and making drinks were highly accommodating for my obnoxious needs. I loved the Matcha Latte. I also LOVED the iced Jasmine. So freaking good.“

“Nice place,adjacent to the hotel. Servings were ample, service was really good. My only issue was everything came out so fast most of it was lukewarm by the time we got to it. Wound up taking some home with us. Prices were good but it added up fast. More of a family style sit down place.“

“Delicious food, the tea was even better. Atmosphere beautiful and the staff very friendly. I will be back!“

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

“Excellent spot for after work meetups and delicious dishes. My friends and I always order several plates and share them which is a great way to sample everything since there is so much to choose from. Also a very casual place where you can’t hear people around you which is rare.“

“Lived in Bethesda for 50 years, now in Bend, OR--where good Chinese food is non-existent. On numerous visits back home, I've patronized Foong Lin with high school buddies--and it always delivers the goods. Last night, we all had hot and sour soup, egg rolls, crispy beef, combination Kung Pao, combination lo mein...and everything was off the charts!“

“I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and authenticity of some of the classic dimsum dishes such as the shrimp dumpling and charngfun. We ordered about 25 small plates between 3 people (including desert) and we were stuffed! Some items tasted a bit too experimental and did not satisfy the classic Cantonese flavor profile that I’m used to. Some were really good! I grew up eating authentic Cantonese dim sum in Los Angeles and have tried amazing eating dim sum in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. In the DMV area, we have limited dim sum options - so this place will do when I crave dim sum! The service and atmosphere were really nice. Total rating is 4.5 stars.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was incredibly flavorful and tasted very authentic—definitely one of the better Sichuan spots in the area. Every dish had great depth of flavor, the spice level was on point, and you can tell they don’t hold back on authentic seasoning. Portions were generous, everything came out surprisingly fast even with multiple dishes, and the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for real, satisfying Sichuan food. Will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“Arielle was an amazing host/server. I came in and noticed it was a little busy for a Sunday night and it only looked like it was only 1 server and the bartender helping serve as well. She let me know it might be a little wait, even though it was only me. She gave me recommendations for appetizers, entrees (including every protein option) and even some drink pairings and told me about some new items which I haven’t seen before. I sat for about 8 minutes before she came back letting me know she was going to throw on her apron and help me out so I wasn’t going to be waiting longer. She brought everything out and the Combination Fried Rice was wonderful, Garlic noodles I would give about a 7/10, Dynamite sushi 10/10 and the new Lychee Lemonade was perfect just how she explained. Didn’t see her again for a while but she stopped by letting me know that she was just pitching in to help, told me she had been in overtime, apologized for any inconvenience and asked if I could leave a review and there was no way I couldn’t! Another server Andre would take over, and he did an amazing job as well especially for having to run around and help everywhere! Her energy was very vibrant and so authentic, it was refreshing to have someone be themselves! Andre was very sweet! Food was delicious as always.“

“My new neighborhood go to place for Chinese food. I've been looking for a place since Tsim Yung closed on 12th Street a while back. I'm not a Chinese food connoisseur but this meets my test for good weekend comfort food with reasonable prices and good portions. Location is sketchy but the kitchen area looks remarkable clean and open for a fast food joint. Ordered pork fried rice twice and added Szechuan Beef on the second trip. They didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend. Staff is friendly and efficient.“

“This afternoon my mother and I ate at Chiko in Arlington. My mother had smashed salmon. I shared the veggie dumplings with my mother. I had cumin lamb stir fry and iced oolong tea. I liked the cumin lamb stir fry. Glad that this location offers patio seating as the weather outside was warm and sunny. This location is not wheelchair accessible because someone has to pull and push the front door.“

“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“

“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!“

“The dish that I ordered was great!!!“
