Lanzhou Hand Pull Noodle
The beef noodle soup itself tastes good, but knife cut noodles are too soft, which I expected to be more chewy. It’ll be better if we could choose the softness. The beef combo includes beef flank, tendon and shank. Like the flank a lot, since it’s soft enough to bite, not hard to chew. We like the scallion pancakes the most out of all dishes. Would recommend to order it!
We stopped in because it sounded interesting. I like that you order at a kiosk and can customize your noodle thickness. I got the hand pulled chicken soup. The noodles were the perfect texture - chewy but soft. The broth was 10/10 super flavorful without being heavy. Chicken was tender and flavorful. I am so glad we decided to eat here!
B2J Fish Soup Gaithersburg 不二家酸菜鱼 Gaithersburg
very flavorful and authentic sour fish soup! fish is super tender and the homemade rice cake side was delicious. good portion sizes, the combo for 2 was big enough for 4 people imo. small + quaint, not too many tables inside.
The Best Sour Cabbage Fish in Maryland | B2J Sour Cabbage Fish Highly Recommended Local Food Hello, everyone! I want to introduce you to the best sour cabbage fish restaurant in the universe—B2J Sour Cabbage Fish! This is their fifth location, with the other four in New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Canada. Ever since I discovered this place, I find myself going back every few days, whether I’m in a good mood or a bad one—I just crave this fish! Their sour cabbage fish is made with snakehead fish fillets, which are super tender and boneless! I noticed on the menu that you can upgrade to bass for an extra charge, but honestly, the snakehead fillets are already amazing. They offer set meals: • Two-person set: 1 lb of fish + 2 side dishes + 2 small appetizers + 2 bowls of rice • Three-person set: 1.5 lbs of fish + 3 side dishes + 3 small appetizers + 3 bowls of rice • Four-person set: 2 lbs of fish + 4 side dishes + 4 small appetizers + 4 bowls of rice The sour cabbage fish is so delicious that we usually order an extra portion of fish for $14—otherwise, it feels like we have to fight over every bite! You can choose from different flavors: • Classic Sour Cabbage Fish (Regular or Spicy) • Tomato Fish • Mala (Spicy & Numbing) Fish My absolute favorite is still the classic sour cabbage fish! We also tried the tomato fish, which has a sweet and flavorful broth—really good! Now, let’s talk about the appetizers: • Fern Root Noodles: My top pick! This was my childhood favorite. My brother and I used to call it “sewer water” because it’s black. I haven’t had it in ages, but they serve it here as a cold dish, seasoned to be fragrant, spicy, and slightly sweet and sour—so good! • Fried Milk: A must-try! It’s kind of like fried rice cakes, but inside, it’s sweet, milky, and chewy. • Cold Preserved Egg (Century Egg): A classic Sichuan-style dish—really tasty! • Chilled Chicken Gizzards: Another childhood favorite! The portion is generous, and the flavor is on point. • Crispy Pork Bites: Crunchy and perfect when dipped in chili powder! Next time, I want to try the Golden Mini Buns, Osmanthus Lotus Root, and Brown Sugar Sticky Rice Cake—all nostalgic flavors from my childhood! But I always end up ordering my beloved fern root noodles, so I haven’t had the chance to try more appetizers yet. Drinks: Sometimes they have freshly squeezed corn juice—one sip, and it’s like being back in China! It’s super fresh and costs $15 per jug. Their sour plum soup and watermelon juice are also excellent. Bonus: If you post about your meal on social media, you get a free milk mochi! It’s similar to the fried milk but without the crispy coating—equally delicious. This place is so worth it—even though it’s an hour’s drive from where I live, I happily make the trip just for this fish. After devouring a whole pot, who wouldn’t feel a little dizzy with happiness? Plus, I even saw a double rainbow after my meal that day—maybe it’s a sign of good luck!
SHANGHAI HOME
This place has the most authentic Shanghai food in DMV. Well if you argue it should be from your mom's kitchen then you win. I am just comparing this with Shanghai Taste and Bob66. (Shanghai lounge and Nanxiang has nothing to do with Shanghai food from my humble opinion.) Back to the business. If you are fine with any dishes being sweet then I suggest give everything a try. Something you may find weird, but it is just how things are done in Shanghai. If you want something salty you can get Fuzhu 腐竹 or Moyu魔芋, both are nice cold dishes. But I still suggest Kaofu 烤麸, Lajiang 辣酱 and Ribs小排 even you don't have sweet teeth. Meatball 狮子头 are nice to try as well, and Shenjian生煎 is a must try - I served Shenjian to my parents who still live in Shanghai when they came and they gave a positive feedback.
Great place for Shanghai food.
Yu Zhou Cafe
The food here is delicious! We had the Mongolian beef and orange chicken — pretty basic picks, but they were the ones we knew since it was our first time here. Both dishes were great, and the portion sizes were really good for the price. Another thing I really liked was that they brought out cold water and hot tea right when we sat down. It made the experience even better. We’re definitely coming back to try more dishes!
I have been coming to this location since it was Fu Shing Cafe with my family. When it changed to Yu Zhou Cafe we thought it wouldn’t be the same but it is. The food is great. The people are great. We always get the minced beef tofu soup, lemon chicken, shrimp fried rice, Taiwan rice noodles, and triple delight. Their hot and sour soup and cold jelly fish is good too. I recently noticed that their portions are not as much as before but I think that’s because of the new plates. I would have taken more pictures but forgot once I started to dig in.
George's Hot Pot & Korean BBQ & Chinese Restaurant
Tried this restaurant for the first time and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Peking Duck, General Tso's Chicken, and Crispy Whole Fish. The Peking Duck was delicious and well priced compared to other restaurants. In order to get the special duck price, you did have to order other dishes totaling $20 or more and lunch specials do not count. I would come back for the duck. It was tasty and the whole duck was more than enough for 3 adults to share. The General Tso's Chicken was delicious. You actually tasted white meat chicken vs it just being fried dough. I would 10/10 recommend. The Crispy Whole Fish had good flavor, but I wouldn't order it again. It was a bit on the fishy side - didn't taste fresh. We were probably the only ones dining during lunch so service was quick. At the end, we were brought orange slices and hot towels to wipe our hands. The restaurant had plenty of seating and well kept.
I just had the best Beijing Duck in Montgomery County! We celebrated Valentine's at George's tonight and ordered the whole Beijing Duck special along with Szechuan Green Beans and Pork with Garlic Sauce. This was our first time at this location and the duck had really crispy skin and so much meat! The skin was perfect and the meat was juicy. George certainly knows how to prepare a duck and the best part is that he does duck at half the cost of everyone else. It came with the works (see pic) and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal; like a Chinese fajita but wayyyy more yummy! For those folks that remember Peking Cheers back in the 90s, well it's the same gentleman and his lovely wife that used to run the duck specials there. George is so gracious and kind. We chatted it up for a bit and he made us feel very welcomed. So glad that we met them again and we will certainly be back for more duck and explore more of the menu. We will try the hot pot and korean bbq as well next time but the duck is a winner. Most of the other diners were enjoying the hotpot which looked great, but I caught several folks around us eyeing our duck haha. You should give it a try!
Canton Delight
Been here 15+ times minimum 10 dollars pack the tray as much as you. Want Self serve Food is fire, Not a lot of places like this left No places to sit inside must take out
My new favorite restaurant. Lot's of food for $10 only! And it is delicious. The old man was helpful too. Highly recommended
Hong Kong Pearl Seafood Restaurant (MD)
We enjoyed the standard banquet dinner for 2 round tables. There was a huge event happening in the large room, so our party was tucked in a quiet room in the back that we really enjoyed. Food came out at a good pace, and we enjoyed all the flavors of the food. Prepared traditionally as Canto food and plenty to go around. Spacious and clean bathrooms, free parking lot. This is located in the strip mall next to HR Block. Enjoy!!
It's replacement of New Fortune. The menu however is much improved. The din sum taste fresh and delicious. The service is too eager, the lady took my food before I finish it without asking. The chicken feet is sweet and tangy, the shiumay very juicy and the haka plus spare ribs quite tasty. Overall the food is good.
Hearty's Sichuan Cuisine Chinese Restaurant
The restaurant has been recently renamed to Flo's Taiwan Cuisine, and continues to offer quality and tasty Taiwanese and Chinese food.
The restaurant looks new and very clean. I have known the chef for many years. He is an expert on traditional Chinese Sichuan Cuisine. He had had his own small restaurant for many years in Rockville but had to sold it due to the rising cost. He prefers to be hired as a chef so that he is able to focus on cooking. If you like spicy Chinese food, it is a must-go restaurant for sure. There is variety of non-spicy food available as well. The Chinese Hamburger (not spicy), spicy beef (in soup), spicy fish (in soup), fish flavored eggplant, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried lamb or beef, shredded pork and dried tofu, bite size fried chicken... are my favorites! I know my favorite list seems too long. But it is the truth. I went there yesterday with a party of 15 so that I had an opportunity to taste a lot of food. And I am so glad to see some of my favorite dishes on the table.
Szechuan Palace
Mom and Pop Chinese Food Restaurant with some Thai offerings. Ordered Egg Drop Soup and Scallion Pancakes to start. Both were delicious. Mains were General Tao's Chicken and General Tao's Shrimp. Unfortunately, we were brought one wrong entrée, but when alerted, correction was made quickly. The General Tao's Shrimp was amazing, definitely will return for this.
This is one of my favorite Chinese spots. There is seating inside and when I’ve been there for lunch specials food always comes out perfectly hot! There’s not a lot of people who dine in. Again, mostly a carry out place. It’s always busy and when we order take out it’s usually 35-45 min wait, which is fine because we have planned to call earlier. Ive been dining at this restaurant since at least 2008. Really enjoy the general tso bean curd, egg drop soup, orange chicken, chicken and broccoli, and egg rolls!
Peter Chang Gaithersburg
My husband has been visiting Peter Chang Gaithersburg for years with his coworkers and has always raved about their dishes. We finally had the chance to dine here together, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We ordered Peter Chang's signature Peking duck (whole), which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—truly a showstopper. The Hot Chili Oil Beef Tendon (cold dish) was packed with bold flavors and had an incredible texture. The Mama's Handmade Noodles with Chili Oil were delightfully chewy, with just the right kick of spice. The Spicy Dry Fried Eggplant was crispy and addictive, even for someone who isn't usually an eggplant fan. And, of course, the famous Scallion Bubble Pancake—crispy, airy, and so fun to eat—was the perfect complement to our meal. Every dish was expertly prepared, bursting with authentic flavors, and served with great attention to detail. The staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're a fan of authentic Szechuan cuisine or just love bold, flavorful dishes, Peter Chang Gaithersburg is an absolute must-visit. We'll definitely be back!
Stop by for late lunch, and they actually offer tapas portion dishes. So the portion size is smaller compared to traditional dishes, but it gives patrons lots of choices to try different dishes. We had total of 9 dishes, mostly good, but the stem pork rib dish was not up to par, it had way too much starch, it felt like eat a wet breaded pork rib. For 3 steam dumpling for 9 bucks was slightly steep. But over all was great lunch. The highlight was the pork belly stew, and lions head meat ball, even though it was only one meat ball, it was pretty good. The beef chow fan was good too. And the shrimp with walnut was decent too. Total out of the door with tips was $103 for 4 people. We’ll be back again.
Chinese Express
Although the wait was excessive, I was not disappointed about my food. I haven't eaten Chinese fried rice and wings since I was a teenager, but the fried general tso's wings and fried rice were delicious. They may need to hire more help to execute delivery orders and take-out orders efficiently in the future to minimize wait time. I've never been to a Chinese carryout that offered alternative sauces to fry wings with, but the concept is genius.
Solid place that's open later than majority in the area with one helluva twist - it doubles as a latin bar, so you get literally best of both worlds! And food is bangin!
Hunan Cafe
I’ve come here off & on for years. Haven’t been there in a while. Stop today to get combination fried rice. Upon arriving home and tasting it, it was extra salty and it taste freezer burned…. Not sure if it was the vegetables, the meat or what. Though when I called, she act like she didn’t know what I was talking about… Suggested I drive 30 minutes back with rush-hour 45 minutes to an hour back and she would refund me upon returning the bad food…. I explained it would cost me more in gas to drive up there to include. I was not getting back in the middle of rush-hour at 6:00 PM. To say the least, she hung the phone up in my face in the end. I would never, ever visit this establishment again and recommend no one who is looking for good fresh food to patron their establishment… Good Luck & take care…🤮
Came here for lunch. Had the twice-cooked pork which came with fried rice and spring roll. The pork dish itself was tasty and delicious, however the fried rice was pretty bland and the spring roll was a little cold on the inside. Plenty of parking available and credit card accepted.
