Mai Dragon / Mai Dim Sum

Mai Dragon is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area! We absolutely love everything they serve. This time, we tried the dim sum, roasted pork, sesame beef, and duck noodle soup—and it was all AMAZING! The broth in the soup was incredible, full of flavor, and the meat was perfectly cooked, not dry at all. The service was top-notch too; the staff was very attentive and worked hard to make our experience enjoyable. We highly recommend giving them a try—you'll love it just as much as we do! The food is authentic, the prices are reasonable, and we even had some delicious leftovers to take home. The atmosphere felt like a cozy family dining experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Overall, very pleased with this restaurant. When I first walked in I almost turned around to leave.The look inside was not screaming Great Chinese Food. The atmosphere was just of a large room with tables and chairs. It looked anything but Chinese. But I was hungry and decided to stay. Was I ever glad I did. I ordered the Egg Drop soup and Kung Pao Beef. Both were up there with the most delicious of these dishes I’ve ever had. The meat was so tender it cut with a fork like butter. And the flavors were extraordinary. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying their Dim Sum. Back to the atmosphere, I’m not big on spending lots of money on interior but this place definitely needs some help to make it warm, inviting and Chinese! One last thing, a pet peeve of mine, when they give you the check the suggested tip amounts are based on the food plus tax, though I’d give them the benefit of the doubt and guess they don’t know the machine is doing this… I just get the feeling they wouldn’t.

This is the best dim sum restaurant in Maryland! I remember their first location on the Columbia Lakefront, then their move to Ellicott City, and now they’ve finally settled here. Every time friends visit us, they always insist on going to this place. We are a group of four adults and four kids, and we always have a great time dining here. To my surprise, when we visited last Saturday, they had brought back my favorite FRIED TARO SHRIMP FRITTERS! I remember they stopped making it a few years ago, and I rarely see it at other restaurants. It’s one of my favorite dim sum dishes. Although the restaurant looks ordinary from the outside, the food is incredibly authentic and tastes amazing. I hope this restaurant continues to thrive so we can keep enjoying their delicious food!

Dim sum serve on food cart love it. I grew up in a Kwang Si dialect speaking town ( part of Cantonese) where we had very similar food culture. Morning tea is the best time to be there for the experience.

I have ordered take out soooo much and it’s been incredible but going I person is a whole experience. If you haven’t tried dim sum in person and you’d like to, I’d come here. Service and food were great!
