**second experience** This place is always fresh, I love their sushi always freshly made in front of you! Honestly great bang for your especially the lunch special.

California roll and shrimp tempura roll
Issy C.

I've been coming here since I was a child, so this review is long over due. This is my family's go to place for takeout, my grandparents came here a lot too (RIP :( ), and now I can take my bf and friends here! My family usually orders the same things so here are a list of things I've tried. ~ENTRES~ DRY BEAN CURD W/ BEEF: Just tofu with shredded beef, a popular dish in Chinese cuisine. The tofu and shredded pork is stir fried in a sweet/savory sauce and there is jalapeno on the dish for an added kick. This pairs well with rice, not too salty either. SAUTEED FISH FILLET : One of my favorite dishes!! It comes in a stone/clay pot, theres white fish (not sure what kind), pickled cabbage, tofu, and bamboo in a clear savory sauce. Its like a thick broth, not too much where its soup and has a subtle flavor. I really enjoy this dish because its all of my favorite foods combined and its not too salty. SNOW CABBAGE & EGG & SHREDDED PORK FRIED RICE: BEST FRIED RICE! When people think of fried rice, they think of rice mixed with soy sauce and those frozen peas and carrots, this fried rice is on a different level. It has so many more flavors, the pickled snow cabbage makes this dish for me. ~SUSHI~ SHRIMP TEMPURA ROLL- just a standard tempura shrimp with rice, not a big piece like most place, no cucumbers that go with it CRUNCHY SPICY TUNA ROLL- 1st roll I've tried from China Taste and has been my go to for awhile, I love the crunchy bread crumbs embedded in the roll. CALIFORNIA ROLL- standard california roll SALMON ROLL- I'm like 100% sure they used the smoked salmon from costco, its super salty, not a fan of this roll, but if you like smoked salmon then definitely try this. As for service, they give you a number and they call it out when your order is ready and I usually bus my own dishes since theres only one lady that does it and she works really hard, so I try to help her out. I've tried many other dishes from this place, but unfortunately I do not know the english name since my mom always orders. I usually order those listed when I am there by myself. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out, its a hole in a wall kind of restaurant, but those are the best type of restaurants.

Rude, dried up entrees all to often. Asked tonight to sub lo mien noodles for rice would pay an extra charge but no go only order two full entrees and then refused service. Try the new local hot pots. After 10 years as a loyal customer this place has run its course, and don't waste your time on the low quality sushi. In this day and age and competitive carry out, treating regular customers with respect should be part of customer service. And so I vote with my feet to Kenny's around the block, Chinese is the same most places and no attitude. And for any one who wonders about a substitution, over near work I get a lo mien subbed for rice for .50 extra on a chicken teriyaki - so really what is the cost of keeping a regular weekly customer or losing one to others within walking distance.

Hidden gem!! (This review is long overdue.) Located next to the post office and across the street from Seven Eleven!! Super fresh & scrumptious sushi + great service + inexpensive maki rolls ($4.50/ maki roll [8 pieces/roll]) + 2 containers of complimentary/free good-for-the-soul soup (miso/hot & spicy or a choice of 3 their types of soup) + awesome company = perfect date night/friends night out Fabulous perks: Free hot oolong tea ([sipping on the perfect hot oolong tea w/ my eyes closed immediately transported me to a place of serenity/tranquility] this type of tea would have cost $2-3 elsewhere) and cold water w/ ice for customers while you wait for takeout or dine-in Separate restrooms for women/men, a plus in my book! The homey ambience makes me want to come back time and time again. Saw HUGE portions of authentic soul food that other customers were enjoying! Wish I could get some mouth-watering sushi now! Recommend without reservations! Absolutely no regrets, completely worth it! So many gluten-free, no msg choices too!

This is a short review based on my first (but definitely not last!) visit. Will update in the…read morefuture. Was heading home from airport after a long flight. Was feeling hangry because I had planned on stopping at Hard Times for a bowl of chili -and found out they were closed on Mondays. So, pretty much pulled a name out of a hat and would up at Chuan Tian Xia because, well, Szechuan cooking uses chiles, no? Yesssss! I ordered Signature Dumplings and a bowl of Beijing-style Beijing-style Zhajiang Noodles. The dumplings were outstanding: a mix of shrimp, pork, and chive that were plump, juicy, fragrant with the herbaceous flavor of chives. The accompanying sauce was not too sweet, not too hot, just right as a complement to the dumplings. Yowza. I was a happy camper... ...and then I dug into my noodles. Double yowza! Thick wheat noodles topped with a rich sauce made from (I think) fermented soybean paste and braised pork belly, garnished with cucumbers. The portion was way to big for me to eat after my flight, but I really, really enjoyed it (and the remaining dumplings) for lunch today. Did I say yowza? I'm an adventurous eater so the menu's less Americanized items were what I would have ordered given more time (like Maoxuewang: can you say "pig's tongue, spam, pork intestine, and beef tripe"? Protein is protein, baby!). Just means I need to come back, and I will, as quickly as I can.

Benn coming to A&J for years. It's a hole in the wall off Rockville Pike with parking that can be…read moreaccurately described as "limited". It's usually packed with Asian folks who come for A&J's dim sum-style food. The food is described as "Northern style" Chinese, and it's definitely not Americanized. I've eaten many a bowl of noodles here, but my favorites are the Dan Dan Mian (with hot spicy sesame sauce and peanuts) and Xue Cai Ro Si Mian (shredded pork and mustard green noodle soup). I've also enjoyed Ma La Er Si (sliced pigs ears with hot and spicy seasoning) and Pi Dan Dou Fu (tofu with Thousand Year Egg) - things I doubt will EVER show up on a menu in my hometown. And the dumplings: oh my. I think I've tried them all, and haven't found one yet I wouldn't order again. The only downside to A&J (besides it being a drive for me) is their cash-only policy. Fortunately there are lots of nearby ATMs, but beware if it's your first visit. Prices are very reasonable and portions are perfect, so overall value is great. If you haven't been, go now, and work your way through the menu. Trust me, you'll thank me!

If you like Taiwanese food, this is your place in Rockville! Back in the day, circa early 2010s,…read morewhen Baltimore did not have much of an Asian food offering, my friends and I would make the long drive to Rockville to have lunch here and do some grocery shopping nearby. I have kept this place in the back of my mind, with fond memories, however, have not visited in some years due to multiple moves around the country. Recently, my friend was organizing a casual gathering for our friend group, and asked ChatGPT if there were any good recommendations for food in the area that was affordable and delicious, and A&J came up as a top choice. So I came back to A&J after almost 10 years, and the food was just as good as I remembered. The decor remained simple and unchanged, but this is very typical of Asian restaurants. The menu was large, and it's easy to order by circling items you want on the paper menu. We had a mix of noodle soup bowls (so many different flavors and styles) and appetizers, and everything we tried was delicious. Our bill came out to less than $25 per person with tip. I could imagine more pretentious Chinese restaurants downtown upcharging a lot more for lower quality Chinese food (Queen's English, for example). It was so good and affordable, that I actually ended up coming back the next day with a different friend. Overall, excellent experience, and I will be back again soon! One interesting tidbit, my coworker who grew up in the Midwest and only eats meat, potatoes, absolutely no vegetables, started going here for lunch and loves it. I think flour-based items (noodles, dumplings, buns) are really the star of the restaurant, and this can be enjoyed across different taste palates! I hope you will give this place a try.

We arrived right when they opened around 11 AM on a weekend and were seated immediately since it wasn't too busy yet. One thing to note is that the entire party needs to be present before being seated, which they enforce, but it helps keep things moving smoothly once you're inside. The service felt traditional and efficient, with attentive push carts circulating constantly, making it easy to see what's fresh and grab dishes as they come by. The staff were also accommodating with a baby seat, which made the visit comfortable for families. The steamed cart is always my favorite, and Far East does it well. Standouts for me were the shrimp rice crepe (silky and delicate), shrimp dumplings (har gow) with plump, juicy filling, and the steamed ribs, which were tender and flavorful. The chicken feet and tripe were also well prepared -- classic dim sum staples done right. I also loved the sticky rice, which was fragrant and satisfying, along with two must-order bakery items: the pineapple buns and egg tarts. Both were fresh and comforting, with the egg tarts having that perfect balance of flaky crust and smooth custard. Overall, Far East delivers a solid, traditional dim sum experience -- lively carts, reliable favorites, and a welcoming environment for groups and families. Great spot to gather, share dishes, and enjoy a relaxed weekend dim sum meal. Definitely glad to have seating back again.

We ordered scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, eggplant with basil, and noodles with chicken. I never had scallion pancakes. Nothing I would order again. I have nothing to compare, but I assume they're good. The dumplings were fantastic. The eggplant, which comes in three varieties, appeared to be a popular item with other guests. I guess it was good. I'm not a fan of saucy food. The noodles were fantastic. I feel like we ordered wrong, although my girlfriend picked everything except the noodles. This is not a place to visit if you're looking to lose weight. The hard sugar in the eggplant alone was more than I consume in two months. I'm probably not in the best position to rate our dinner as I avoid carbs and sugar. If I were to come back, I'd stick the noodles and revisit the menu to see if there is a solid chicken option. I came here hungry and left hungry as the food was not filling, and the sugar content sent my system into a bit of a shock. Nonetheless, if this cuisine is your thing, you won't be disappointed.

As someone who truly loves authentic Sichuan cuisine, I came in with high expectations. Word of mouth brought me here, and I am pleasantly surprised. I knew it wouldn't be easy to find the same bold, complex flavors I was used to in Flushing and other NYC Chinatowns, but Sichuan Jin comes impressively close. I feel lucky to have a spot like this nearby. Kevin and Judy put so much care into what they do. It's the kind of place that feels both personal and consistent. My go-to dishes are the flounder with Sichuan peppercorns--satisfying and flavorful--and the eggplant with minced pork in garlic sauce, which is homey and comforting. Pro tip: skip the Americanized Chinese options and go straight for the Sichuan Specialty, Ordinary Home Style, or Chef's Specials sections of the menu. That's where this place truly shines.
