    Bland pad thai.  Any sauce you see in the photo is due to the soy sauce I added to try and get some flavor into it.
    David B.

    Ordered the Pad Thai and fried wonton. The wonton were decent, but the Pad Thai lacked any sort of seasoning and sauce. It was a bland mixture of boiled chicken and cooked noodles. Devoid of any flavor. Very disappointed, and this will likely be my first and last experience.

    Moo Shu pork with pancakes.

    Ordered Moo Shu Pork with pancakes for carry out. The pancakes were dried out and turned to pieces when unwrapped. The moo shu should be called cabbage soup with a trace of pork. It was a very disappointing dish and experience.

    Bugs = "special seasoning"

    Okay... The reviews here werent too bad.. Figured we'd check it out since we live around the corner now.. We ordered online through here.. Chicken curry and pork lo mein.. Both came with fried rice... The chicken curry was OKAY.. but there were more veggies rather thsn chicken not that i mind more veggies but a TON on onions and peppers. a LOAD of water chestnuts (i LOATHE water chestnuts) I picked most of them out but every bite I got of it was cringey.. My other half had to massively season his lo mein before it had any decent flavor.. Then .. What do you know ? ...towards the bottom of the togo container was a freaking bug. Not even sure what kind of bug that is or if it was alive at some point and was crawling around the food.. Either way that is completely disgusting and absolutely unacceptable. We both got sick and he massively broke out all over his face. We went back over there to let them know and to show them.. I suppose it was the owner that was up front.. She asked to see it then asked for a pair of chopsticks so she could dig through the food to find it. Before she went to the back to show the chef she asked if we wanted new food or a refund. I believe that it is safe to say we will NEVER eat here again and further more will be steering clear of chinese spots for a VERY VERY long time.

SU ordered Kung Pao Shrimp, her "go-to" and every Asian restaurant, and compares each one to China Garden's version. Her verdict: Modern Asia's was "OK", and she told me I could eat the leftovers for my lunch. I did. My verdict was the same: OK, but nothing to write home to Mother about. (My comparison, BTW, is to a restaurant we enjoyed in Ithaca New York that made Kung Pao with peppers that would flay your face from the inside if you dared to eat one. Modern Asia's didn't even tickle, making it a let down). I ordered Seafood Combination Chinese Yellow Curry, a new dish for me. It was yummy. Described as one-pepper spicy on the menu, it had less heat than the Kung Pao, but the curry sauce had layers of flavor. It featured shrimp, scallops, and calmari plus a wonderful mix of peppers, onions, and other veg. All were nicely (crisply) cooked, even taking into account the Door Dash delivery time. I really enjoyed it. Next time I may ask for a bit more heat, but as it is, I hoovered up every morsel. Try it - you'll like it!

My daughter especially loves the dim sum and dumplings, and my husband is a big fan of the sweet and sour chicken and the spring rolls. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how many wonderful options they have. The Buddha's Delight is one of my favorites, along with the tofu with black mushrooms. I also love that they are so accommodating--I prefer my tofu steamed instead of fried, and they are always happy to prepare it that way for me. Today I tried the Wonton Noodle Soup and it was good. There is truly something for everyone in our family, and we always leave happy and satisfied. Delicious food, great variety, and wonderful service. We highly recommend Peking Gourmet!

    My partner and I stopped here on a whim when looking for somewhere nice for dinner. We were a…read morelittle hesitant at first since the place was completely dead, but we were proven very wrong when we got our food. For appetizers, we ordered the dried dumplings ($7.50 for 6 pieces) and the sweet pork buns ($5 for 2). They were both delightful. The dumplings were pleasantly chewy, with the best crunch on the bottom. They were huge and seasoned very well. The buns were soft and pillowy, with a nice amount of meat in them. They could have been seasoned a little more, but some hot mustard really made them amazing. For our meals, we decided to order the dinner combo ($12.50). It comes with an egg roll, plain fried rice, and your entree of choice. I got orange chicken and they got Hunan chicken. Both meals were absolutely amazing, with fantastic portions. It was seasoned perfectly, and the orange chicken was crispy to the point of having an audible crunch. There were even real orange peels in the sauce! We both had leftovers to bring home and were completely full. The meal ended with fortune cookies, and a complimentary strawberry mousse. It was light, and perfectly sweet to end the meal. The service at the restaurant itself was lovely. No one was constantly over our shoulder, but our drinks stayed full and the food came out hot and quickly. The restaurant was quiet, and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend anyone in Frederick to try this place! (As you can see from some of the photos, I got a little too excited and dug in before taking photos!)

    Was in Frederick for business and my wife and I wanted Japanese and Chinese food. When we arrived,…read morewe were surprised there was no table service -- everything is ordered at the counter. Most of the menu is Chinese, with very few Japanese options and even fewer Thai. They also no longer serve sushi, so if you see sushi photos online, be aware they're outdated. We placed our order and bought bottled sodas, only to find out they don't have ice, which my wife was not happy about. The food overall was great, with one exception: the General Tso's chicken. The sauce had no flavor and there were no scallions in it. The broccoli was cooked well and still firm. The pork dumplings and tempura shrimp were very good. The beef and chicken lo mein were also very good, especially the beef. The dining area was clean, but the tables have that slightly sticky finish. The counter area looks messy and unattractive -- a big downgrade from a few years ago when it looked great. Not sure why they're letting it slide. They also prompted for a tip, even though there's no table service. They did bring the food out after I tipped, but still -- the expectation felt off. Great food, but everything else was meh.

They have a wonderful duck sauce, but they do not give you anywhere near as much. 3. no fortune cookies (that may be delivery only we didn't eat in the restaurant) Overall, the food was good, and the quality was good. The rice (which is important to have) was not mushy! They are on our places to go to again. Plus I didn't try their hot and sour soup. It is (along with Clam Chowder, Fish and Chips) one of my go-to foods.
