I found about this place from my contractor. He said he and his wife drives to China American Inn from Dundalk so of course I had to give it a try. The restaurant is tucked away on 7th Avenue in Laurel. I had a hard time finding it because it looked like an apartment building complex. It's across from 7 Eleven and there are shops below the apartment building, I ordered the chicken garlic dinner. It comes with an eggroll and pork fried rice. The price is amazing and they give you large portions. My garlic chicken was delicious. I would definitely come back here again. read more

China American Inn - C12. Chicken with Garlic Sauce Dinner Combo - Chinese Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

So, the surface here was very friendly. In fact, I had two bags and an employee even offered to help me carry them out. I really appreciated that. I placed the order online and it was ready pretty much when I got there, which was within the pick up timeframe listed. I appreciated that they had an online ordering option, even if it was through Grubhub. The inside is rather small. I think there are two, maybe three very small plastic tables. However, it definitely seems like a spot where the same folks go regularly. Everyone inside seem to know each other, and they were all engaging in a nice conversation. The food itself was fine. I think it's about the same as any other carryout. The wonton soup I had was very basic and not my favorite. But they did include the crispy noodles for free. Also worth noting, their lunch special price of eight dollars or $8.50 was legit. And for the price, the portion was great. I definitely want to stop by in the future and maybe try something else. read more

I've tried their crab rangoon, egg foo young, sweet & sour chicken, General Tso's chicken, chicken wings, and fries. Their food is decent, and mildly flavored. I especially enjoy their fries and the drinks they include with their lunch items. The space is small and overall clean. Customer service is good -their front register guy comes off stoic and overly neutral at times but I've had some dope conversations with him before so I encourage visitors to just come with grace and patience. Parking is easy! This place has potential but I think they could improve on their sweet & sour chicken, portion sizes and business hours. read more

Finally found a Chinese spot I am willing to give another chance! China American Inn is in a hidden corner in the City of Laurel. I was going to seven- eleven and I spotted it and was definitely going to try. I got my usual beef fried rice with spring rolls. I was a little disappointed in the spring rolls because they were ridiculously small but they made up size with deliciousness . Lol I was hoping I got more, if I knew they were that small. The beef fried rice was cooked pretty well, the right color and not too much soy sauce, not a variety of vegetables but maybe you could request that. The service was much to be expected and I didn't expect much. I will definitely be making a trip back! read more

China American Inn - Beef and broccoli with not much meat. - Chinese Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I shouldn't have cheated on my usual carry out. The place I like to go to is fairly far from my house, so I decided to check out something closer. I ordered the general tso's chicken. The only way you can order online is through Grubhub. They give you three options of how spicy you want the chicken to be: not spicy, mildly spicy, and spicy. I chose spicy. They said the order would be ready around 8:05. The food wasn't actually ready until about 8:30. I took a bite of the chicken and immediately noticed there was no spice. Not a punch, not a kick, not even a tap of spicy. The chicken was soggy, but the sauce wasn't too bad. I also had an egg roll, which was pretty good. They did give big portions, so I had plenty left over. But I ended up not finishing it. I'm not sure if I'm being generous with the 3 stars, but I didn't hate it. I'm just not keen on going back. read more

I found my new favourite place for Chinese food!!! We've ordered takeout twice. Both times I ordered the Mei Fun combination and the Spring Rolls as an appetiser. Every bite melted in my mouth. I definitely recommend China American Inn. A 10 out of 10. read more

This was my new number place for a quick meal. I will start cooking my own food. I have spent over $100 dollars per month at this place. Today, I went to order my usual shrimp fried rice and 2 Shrimp Egg rolls. The young man asked me how much soy sauce I needed. They never give me enough and little napkins. I spend lots of money but never again. I'm too old for children's games. Good bye. read more

The only place I order from. I always get the Singapore noodles and they are perfect every single time. The delivery is typically very quick also. They always seem to come earlier than the estimated time. They lose a star because the last time I ordered, my SO felt that there was something off about the shrimp in the general tso's shrimp. The smell and taste just weren't right. However, the shrimp in my Singapore noodles had no issues, so I don't know. Maybe she had a bad batch. I'll keep ordering from them though. read more

The food, the service are great. The people who work there are courteous and friendly they know their regular customers and take good care of them. This is my go to place for Chinese style food in Laurel area. read more

Very happy with my delivery and food!!! My husband and I were looking for tasty and affordable Chinese food. We finally struck gold, everything was wonderfully seasoned and big portions...plenty of condiments and napkins. Food was still hot! Vegetables are very fresh and presented wonderfully. Broccoli beef is awesome Broccoli was perfectly steamed. This place in my opinion can give panda express a run for their money! The orange chicken is the business!!! read more

Love this place and am glad they were able to re-open. Chicken wants are good, General Tso's, egg rolls, and everything else I've ordered. They're close and deliver quickly. I wish I could order online through them and pay that way instead of giving them my cc number over the phone and then wanting me to sign. If I order through an app they make less money. read more

Wish I could give zero stars. I ordered shrimp toast and complained to management and they didn't care. And said this is how they cook their shrimp toast and to them it's not burnt. Come on this is clearly burnt. They will receive no more business from me. read more

China American Inn - General Tso' s Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

This was my first time here and after many failed attempts in Laurel for some good chinese I was a little sceptical. But tonight I was really in the mood for some good old Chinese and decided to give it a try. We got sesame chicken crispy beef vegetable lo mein chicken fried rice and chicken & broccoli. The crispy beef and sesame chicken was very good nice and crispy and the sauce for each was tasty as well. I will say next time I'll pass on the chicken & broccoli the texture of the chicken was very slimy and just unappealing. Since I like to see where my food is cooked I did go in and it was your typical carryout small counter couple tables and chairs kitchen in the back but the place was clean. Overall i was pleased fast service and good food next time I'll try the delivery but this is my new go to Chinese in Laurel. read more

China American Inn - Sesame Seed Chicken with Broccoli! So delicious!!! - Chinese Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I been living in Laurel for about 6yrs and I been looking for a GOOD Chinese Carry-Out. After reading the Amazing reviews I finally decided to give them a try (not to mention I happen to stumbled upon the restaurant one day while driving and noticed how nice and clean it looked). I ordered the steak n cheese egg rolls which are highly recommend and they were Delicious!!! I ordered Sweet n Sour chicken with shrimp fried rice which was Too Tasty!!! And they also threw in a pork egg roll for free and that was superb too I ordered my food for delivery and they told me 40 mins and they came in about 25 - 30mins. My food was nice and hot and seasoned well. They did a great job. I'm very pleased. I will b ordering from them more often read more

So I will NEVER order from this place again!!! The delivery wasn't too long of a wait and I didn't notice because I was cleaning up. Anyway....I ordered crab Rangoon, Phoenix and dragon (shrimp and general tso chicken) and a mix. The mix was cold and good! The perfect amount of sweet from the tea and lemonade. Now let's talk about this food.... So when did general tso chicken have a ton of onions? Like this dish was inundated with onions...BUT it only had 3...yes THREE pieces of broccoli‍ the smell was delicious but it lacked the flavor to match! So I was very disappointed as I was craving Chinese food. Now to the delivery which PISSED ME OFF!! First of all the delivery guy called and the call was somehow disconnected. I attempted to call back and he didn't answer. He called again but I could not understand him as his English was not good at all and his phone was cracking. I ended up going to the lobby to get my food and he started yelling at me. At first I calmly told him that it was hard to understand him and his phone was cracking. He proceeds to yell "the door locked" yes I know I live in a secured building. He kept yelling "no pin no pin" I told him that he was rude and that I would never patronize this establishment. I'm glad I said that because I ended up picking the shrimp and chicken and ate a little rice. This food will be going in the trash take my advice....DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! read more

Quick and delicious every time I've ordered here. Spring rolls and the steak and cheese roll- with spicy mustard, perfection. Soups are flavorful and chicken isn't overly breaded, chewy or hard. Love love love read more

Love China American inn! Food is always good and the staff is always friendly. I moved from NYC and none of the Chinese food compared to what I would get back home , then I found China American Inn and was instantly transported to Brooklyn. read more

Okay soooo idk why this place doesn't have a better rating! This is the closest thing that I can find to real carry out food in Laurel! I'm a PG county girl and we love our carry out food! I a really particular about Chinese food I don't eat everywhere so finding this place was just amazing! My orders are always right and the brothers that work there remember us and our orders! I love their wing and the Mumbo sauce is on point! It's not brown like bbq sauce it's the perfect consistency as well! The fried rice is also good it doesn't have all of those veggies added! The steak and cheeses are great as well! I've never had something from this place and didn't like it! Also something people don't know is if you spend over 30.00 you can get a free Lo mein you just have to ask! They also deliver with in a certain radius! Again in m opinion this is the best carry out in Laurel. read more

The food here is some of the best American-style Chinese in the area and with very fair prices. The service is always friendly and prompt - they often deliver earlier than estimated! This is our go-to for weeknights and for when out of town guests are visiting read more

This is my local go to for good Chinese food and good service. Always friendly when we go in or order over the phone.

Delightful business. I order from here very often. They are always on time, hot and delicious. My kind of spot

The food is good and everyone is good . But the usual delivery driver has pissed me off. He would always yell at us to get our dogs out the way and he would be rude and disrespectful.today we ordered take out and the delivery driver not only knocked hard but he kicked our door and scared us and my 11 year old son opened the door. Then the drive proceeded to yell to my son in his language and from what I saw and from his tone it sounded like he was cussing my son out and then he snatched the money out of my sons hands and he tried to scare my dogs away mind you my dogs were just by my sons side cause they are trained to be by our sides when we open the door to people.Our order was 2 orders of 3 piece chicken wings , one order with fried rice and another with French fries. read more

This was a good first time visit for me. So I've been having a very hard time finding a good Chinese place here in the Washington DC area. So I immediately search Yelp and the options were all pretty grim as no restaurant had more than a 3 out of 5 star average. I finally decided to check out this place. I called in my order and the young man on the phone was very professional. I liked that. I drove 30 minutes to the restaurant and the place is in a strip mall near a 7 Eleven and a huge library. I was initially caught off guard by the Covid-19 panic restrictions. The restrictions don't allow Customers to actually enter the restaurant. Anyway, I got my food and drove home. I warmed my food up and was surprised at how fresh the shrimp was in the shrimp with fried rice I ordered. The peas and carrots were perfectly boiled, the eggs were fresh, and the rice was done fairly well. Overall I'd give my meal a solid 8 out of 10. If I have a taste for Chinese again, I would definitely return to this place. The Customer Service is very good and the meal I had was certainly memorable. read more

It took 10mins to make one shrimp egg roll, the restroom smelled like the sewer. The egg roll was greasy watery and bland would not recommend. read more

Absolute dog food! Can't believe I made this mistake tonight. General Tso chicken was nothing but manufactured, out of the box breaded mush of some kind. They're were traces of chicken( or chicken type substance) within a giant nugget of mush breading. The fried rice was boxed fried rice. You can tell from the color/taste. I can't believe this place is in business. I can't believe the people in that area actually eat that mess. Those people should be ashamed of what they're giving people. But then again I'm sure they don't care because they don't eat it themselves. I wish there was an option for 0 stars. read more

It's pretty good! All the reviews prior to mine said it's mediocre. I ordered and it's was pretty ok. Hey, It's delivery so no complaints. I will order with them again. I ordered shrimp egg foo yong, & the shrimp were good. Fried chicken & fries (ordered a large fries, but it seemed to be a small portion) but they were good for carry out fries. & I also got the egg drop soup. If you order, you'll probably be pretty satisfied too; unless your picky. It's not bad, try it for yourself! read more

I've had Chinese twice in this area and unfortunately, I've been very disappointed. I really wanted some egg rolls so I decided to go to the location instead of using delivery. I'm sick of dirty establishments. This location looked well cared for, the service was friendly and prompt. I ordered egg rolls, vegetable lo mein, and General Tso's chicken. Everything came out very tasty! The broccoli with my main dish tasted fresh, not frozen. I will be visiting this location in the future for certain. read more

I have ordered from this restaurant multiple times, and it has become a favorite with my neighbor and I. HOWEVER, yesterday's food was less than stellar. And the donuts tasted like they were cooked in rancid oil. Unfortunately, we will be parting ways and finding another Chinese takeout place. Neither of us can afford to spend money on food that isn't very good. read more

The place is quaint and small, fine for me, very polite folks and the food was delicious. I will positively go here again !!
