I can can get past the new owners, stripping all the walls of all the character, the filthy floors, the dirty seats - if the food was good. Unfortunately the food is always bad and they're not exactly cheap. I'm sad to write this review and I'm sad to tell you not to visit a place that I loved for 40 years. That's how bad it is now. =(

Though the food was hot and prepared right on time for our scheduled pickup, it was NOT good. The wings were OK, but both of our entrees had tough, leathery chicken, undercooked broccoli, and were totally flavorless. We ended up throwing them away after a few bites, and we are not generally picky eaters at all. Both of our stomachs have been hurting since we woke up today. Yikes

I found about this place from my contractor. He said he and his wife drives to China American Inn…read morefrom 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.

So, the surface here was very friendly. In fact, I had two bags and an employee even offered to…read morehelp 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.

I really had a taste for some Chinese takeout, and since the weather wasn't great outside, I…read moredecided to grab a quick lunch close to home. I ordered the Rib Tips and Pork Fried Rice for pickup. Honestly, I was hesitant because Yum's has really gone down in quality over the last few years, but I was hungry and just wanted to grab something fast. I wouldn't say I completely regret getting it, but it definitely wasn't worth the extra calories. Let's start with the Pork Fried Rice. The one thing I'll give them credit for is that it wasn't greasy. But the lack of flavor completely messed it up. It was so bland that I actually had to bring it home, re-cook it in a pan, and add some garlic butter just to give it some life. The Spare Rib Tips were another miss. They gave me a really good amount of food, which I appreciated since I was hungry, but the meat was very chewy. It almost tasted like the tips were a bit old. I ate it because I was hungry, but this place consistently fails to meet the standards they used to have. Unfortunately, this is no longer a good takeout spot, and I definitely won't be going back.

We have been familiar with the area for years, as my father-in-law lived 3 minutes away, and recently we realized this was his go-to carryout. After 3 visits, I can say it's one of the best in the DMV, thanks to its flavor and food choices. You will find Japanese options like sushi, American-Chinese dishes like orange chicken, similar dishes, and Cantonese food like roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodle soups, and whole fish. They are family-owned and operated. Every time we come, the elder father is always gracious and provides excellent service. The restaurant is always quiet; you can hear conversations in the back, and as customers arrive to pick up their orders, we haven't witnessed any negative interactions. Customers are always happy with their food, and the staff say thank you. The only negative is the space. The building itself is older and outdated. In the summer, it is hot, and now in the winter, there is no heat. They have found ways to make it work, like space heaters on each table, but it can still get uncomfortable if you are dining in. The back area near the bathroom and the bathroom itself need a thorough cleaning. To me, it's a turnoff; it doesn't affect the food, but it does affect the dine-in experience. Again, overall, I love their food and believe it's a local gem worth a try.

The food is awful. We ordered combination fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, chicken with mixed…read morevegetables, wonton soup and crab rangoon and a California roll. We wanted to try a variety of things. Everything was borderline inedible. The rice tastes burnt like it was cooked on a dirty skillet. The sweet and sour chicken and rangoons were both dry and tasted old. The chicken with mixed vegetables was mushy and gritty. The soup was extremely salty and the sushi looked and tasted worse than what you'd get at a grocery store. I guess the only silver lining is we didn't get sick from the small amount of food we did eat. It's very surprising to me that this place is still open. It's also very unfortunate that we don't have even a single halfway decent Chinese restaurant in the area. Panda Express is leaps and bounds above this place.

This is one of the few times I really put it all on the line and will say it's good....the rice was fried really good with a nice amount of chicken. Next was the pepper beef and onions which was also pretty good with beef perfectly cooked that's was too chewy at all! Next was the lo mein which was also pretty good too, the noodles weren't too oily and was very tender with plenty of chicken also. Next was the fried dumplings which also was tasty, the amount you get is more than enough if you crave dumplings!!!! Now on to the star of the meal.....drum roll....,the doughnut balls were amazing!!!! These were free with coupon off the menu, they were hot and delicious...I've never had them before. A must try! This place was clean and the food was made quickly with no problems with the order!

We had two kids with us, so we couldn't order anything too spicy. The japchae and mandu were tasty, but the lollipop wings deserved a stage of their own. Boy, were they delicious!

The portions are generous, parking is sufficient, and the staff were attentive. We'll definitely be back to try their hand-pulled noodles!

We were told to find a table on the other side of the restaurant (like self seating...see picture) but then asked to move. We were in a section with no one, which isnt an issue if the service is consistent (it wasnt and busy, we were their 3rd table) They checked on us once but I had to flag them down to order or ask questions. We ordered the Crystal noodles with shredded beef & vegetables (41) And the Fried rice with vegetable (10). The fried rice comes with the bean sauce which i didn't know (not listed on the menu I had) and contains pork. When i attempted to get a new version, it took 3 staff members asking why. The, what I assume to be the manager, said she would take it off the bill after I said I DONT EAT PORK... I also canceled my to go order before they cooked it but somehow that was never relayed to the kitchen and they brought it out ...I left hungry lol.

I tasted the crybaby noodles with shrimp& pork-excellent! We shared a papaya salad, which was fresh and filled with flavor. We also had the leche Thai iced tea, which was good and not too sweet. The environment is always clean and attractive, and the staff is very kind. Always a pleasure to come here!
