The service was good, and the food exceeded our expectations. The General Tso's chicken was delicious, and the scallops were very good. The complimentary salad was also a nice touch and tasted great. Our only negative observation was the dried rice—it came molded in the shape of a plastic container, which made it look like it had been sitting pre-packaged for some time. Improving the presentation of the rice would make a big difference, especially since everything else was plated so well.

We’re new to the area from a very Asian neighborhood in Southern California and went to East Moon Asian Bistro for the first time after shopping in the area. We entered around dinner time and I saw the signage at the hostess desk about Chinese pork bun (something I loved while living in SoCal) so I was hoping the server would elaborate. Sadly, that didn’t happen and the lack of communication and customer service would be a constant reoccurrence this evening. I liked that being seated (in a booth for the two of us) was quick and that we were given salad with sesame dressing and a glass of water almost immediately. The ambience and decor was nice too. The restroom was also clean. I didn’t like sitting for nearly 20-30 minutes afterwards with no server returning for our order. When the server did come back around, she didn’t say hello, introduce herself, ask if this was our first time or recommend anything from the menu. She also rushed us by trying to take our menus before we had finished ordering. We ordered a Japanese beer, an East Moon alcoholic drink, udon noodles with beef (to share and for home), a happy family entree and a Thai lemongrass meat entree. We would’ve asked for a sushi or appetizer order to eat there and a pork bun order to go BUT our server didn’t seem to want to hear it. I tried to ask a question to signal for her to slow down and communicate but she whirled away without answering. She came back to deliver the drinks, then the food and once more at the end of the meal when she asked if we wanted more water when it would have been more appropriate to ask whether we wanted dessert, to-go boxes and the check. A check-up on water and the current food should have been conducted midway through the meal. Again, I would’ve liked to order pork buns to go but wasn’t given - again - the opportunity before our server was gone again without communicating. After ordering, I went to the restroom to wash up. I was pleased to find it was clean. Upon return to the table, I was also pleased to find these HUGE portions of food - and it was delicious! Overall, we’re getting closer to finding delicious Asian food here in Maryland that compares to my Chinese, Japanese and Korean community in Los Angeles, California but too bad service here was lackluster (long wait til ordering, no intro, no follow-up and rushed). The food was very good and given in generous portions but the dine-in service makes take-out seem like a blessing.

This place is small and no one else dined in when we were there, but the phone rang off the hook and the doorbell often sounding. The most significant detail I want to mention is the portion size. WOW! I’ve never gotten so much food for my money at a Chinese restaurant. The food is literally served in glass pie plates, to give you an idea of size. It was tasty, too! Many vegetarian options. Veggies were crisp and not overcooked too, which is another great plus!

Call around 8:45 pm to place an order for string beans and rice and I said that I wanted a small order. The person that I spoke with said that it was a lunch special only and she would give it to me. I said that okay I don’t want to place the order, it’s too much food. She said, this time I’ll give it to you, I said okay. I told her that I didn’t want eggs in my rice because I am vegan, she said okay. I arrived about 1 minute before closing to pick up my order but when I got home it was all rice and no string bings. I called the next day to let her know that I didn’t receive the string bings and it was only rice. She argued me down that I wanted all rice. I said to her, you can order small rice anytime it does have to be a lunch special which was the topic of our original discussion when I placed the order. She was so rude and over talking me until I told her that I would not be returning there to order any food. She said okay and hung up. Mind you I have been going there for at least 13 years but with her attitude I will not be returning. How you treat people makes a difference. She called me back to say , okay we can give you the string bings. I told her no, I will not be returning, period. We need to be careful how we treat people, especially customers. Social media is a powerful tool and once the word gets out you loose customers. This situation could have been handled better than she did so it’s their loss, not mine. I chose not to be disrespected!!!!!

In the course of two days, we came to this restaurant twice! The setting of Tea Horse is gorgeous, newly renovated and with creative integrations of Chinese culture and modernness. We ordered a sweet and spicy soup, and to start off, it was delicious. I’ve been to restaurants where the soup is too watery and has no flavor, but this soup is authentic and the tofu is soft and silky. Next, the spicy beef tripe also met our standards. it was flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, and chewy beef tripe. For veggies, we ordered stir fried green beans, and when I say that they are DELICIOUS, they really are. The toasted mustard stems and minced meat bring out so much flavor and the green beans themselves are extremely crunchy. Finally, the fried pork kidneys were here. Unexpectedly soft but crisp on the outside, the pork kidneys were simply amazing. Complemented with bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, and spicy sauce, the dish is scrumptious. And don’t be afraid: even though pork kidneys sounds scary, don’t worry, it’s so delicious and you’ll forget about what it is entirely.

Amazing. The crispy spicy shrimp was great, so crispy so tender and flavorful. The green beans, man that was the best execution I’ve ever seen. The pork bits and the dryness of the beans were flawless. Egg tomato was nice, really tender and balanced sweet flavor. The rice was super good, great texture and moist. the spicy beef soup was a bit too strong for me Cool vibes and decor. Nice lazy susan, and place mats. And the detail of the wooden chairs and the door ways and open windows, lovely. And the tea map was fun. Great atmosphere overall

They’ve nailed Mongolian Chicken! Perfect blend of sweet and spicy. And their tofu with mixed vegetables in brown sauce is quite tasty. Good sized portions. Get the lunch special and you get fried rice, crispy noodles and your choice of egg roll, spring roll, or soup. Comes with hot tea. Good amount of vegetarian choices - clearly marked on menu. Especially like their eggplant. Their veggie lomein is uninspired- but we order it because my grands like it a lot. Nice staff and good service. Good value. Locally owned.

Best Chinese food in the area, I order the same things everywhere I go. They have the best hot crispy beef and walnut shrimp of any Chinese place around here. Their dumplings are always fresher than the other spots and the cold sesame noodles are so good.

This place honors its name. It’s very FAST, your order is ready and accurate within 10 minutes even on Friday nights and weekends. I am giving 3 stars because their fried rice is very bland, it’s more like white rice with minimal veggies, soy sauce, or meat. Their chicken and soups are good.

This is actually one of the first Chinese spots my friends took me to when I first moved to Maryland. It’s 100% comfort food, some menu items are hit or miss, but the egg drop soup, friend rice, and spring rolls are always on point. Definitely worth the $!

I’m glad my friends and I checked out this place. At first I thought it’s another typical Chinese restaurant that served beef and broccoli or hot and sour soup. No it is not! I was wrong. The foods here are amazing! I don’t have to spend an expensive international trip to taste this authentic food. I like their 12-hours Stewed Pork murger and unique spicy handmade noodle dishes. The lamb combo in the first photo is also worth a try. The staffs here are super friendly and fast service. They gave us some suggestions when we didn’t know what to order. We learned about the lamb combo from them. We will definitely come back here for more and to try different dishes from their menu. Oh and conveniently, they have a boba milk tea shop inside their restaurant. Perfect to go for a cold drink or dessert after eating all the spicy foods.

I had an amazing experience at the Xi'an Style Restaurant in Germantown, MD! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The food was absolutely fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Every dish exceeded my expectations! The service was another highlight; the staff was not only friendly but also fun and inviting, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for delicious food and a great time!

Their BBQ Boneless spare ribs taste just like the ones back in Puerto Rico. Amazing!

The dinner serving was smaller than the lunch menu, but the price was $17. I suggested you check the order before you leave the place. I ordered white rice, but instead, I've got fried rice.

Yummy for the tummy! Second visit, so many options! I did have to google a few things before ordering but very much enjoyed. Quirky family atmosphere, each booth area was a different scene. Right off the main road, go slow so you miss/ u-turn. The man ordered the pork belly, kabobs, and dry ramen. I ordered the pan fried chicken dumplings which I will be back for!.. as well as the wet ramen. They even add lemon to the water.. Thank you!!

These are the best Chinese style kabobs stateside since moving back to MD. Good price. Good value. Good flavor. Good portions. I lived in Beijing and Shanghai for over a decade. This is the perfect blend of high-quality US meat with authentic Chinese flavors. Highly recommend.

The service was good, but the dumplings left me feeling gross all day. I got the scallion pancakes, which were good for the first few bites, but as I kept eating it just felt more greasy, and the sauce was overly salty. The soup dumplings seemed good, but they had these fat clumps that would spill out. I’m sure it was fine, but the texture and taste were so unappetizing. For the rest of the day, the flavor was stuck in my mouth and not in a good way. The employees were very nice, it’s worth a try.

Also known as Luna something .. got me twice cause I thought it was a different restaurant and I’m not from the area. Not worth the hr drive to try soup dumplings. On the second visit I tried the pan seared dumplings. The bottoms were totally seared off. They had canned sodas but you had to wait for the boba tea place to open for any water.. and they open later. Bf tried some noodles he didn’t realize would be cracker crispy crunchy .. not a fan. Reminded us of sores ramen. Service was mediocre. If they weren’t so busy on the phones they might have heard him ask for regular pan noodles. Mentioned it after and they were like “ohh yea..” could have fixed it and maybe we’d have come back 🤷🏼‍♀️

😡_ Price is very different from what’s listed on the menu. 🙂_ Dishes I was looking forward to were not as good as I expected, but the spring rolls and dumplings were the best. - The food was bland and greasy, but the server was friendly, so I had dinner without any issues. However, I was shocked when I saw the receipt. The dish that was supposed to be $35 was charged as $50, and other noodle dishes were also $2 more expensive than listed. The total overcharge so I asked about it, and they said the menu prices hadn’t been updated yet. Customers order based on the menu prices—how does it make sense if the prices are incorrect? I could have overlooked the $2 increase for the noodles, but I would not have ordered a dish if I had known it was actually $50 instead of $35. What made me even more upset was that the staff didn’t even apologize; they acted like this was normal. Do they act this way because most people don’t check their receipts? Also, it doesn’t look good to ask for tips on top of already inflated, tax-included prices. This could have been an enjoyable meal, but the price inflation and the staff’s attitude completely ruined the experience.

We have been coming here for morning dim sum and dinner for the past several years, tried almost everything on the menu, and we have enjoyed our every visit almost all the time. Foods-authentic Cantonese cuisine, delicious with the right flavors. Dim sum, lobsters and Peking duck are what we must have. Service- mostly good, friendly staff, except when they are busy then can be lacking. Atmosphere- over the years, this place started to looking a bit ran down, with things clustered in the corners and on the side; their bar is not actively in use and filled with boxes with who knows what 😂 Value- reasonably priced Parking- no shortage of finding parking in this shopping center. Definitely recommend @WineDinenVacay
