Food was absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced dim sum. We enjoyed the tripe, shrimp har gow, pork char sui, and the beef short ribs. Service was very good. Portion sizes were good. Ordering is not intimidating at all, all menu items were listed in Chinese and English. Ample parking. No wait for a table. Really enjoyed the experience! read more

Let's set expectations: this isn't a fancy place, and it isn't trying to be. You walk in and there's a counter with a glass partition, and behind it -- ducks, chickens, whole cuts of pork, all the roasted meats hanging right there. That's the whole vibe, and for a spot like this, that's exactly what I want. If keeping things simple is how they keep prices reasonable, that's a trade I'll take every time. I'm here for the food. Came with my family yesterday after the internet spent months nagging me to try it. We got har gow, chicken feet, BBQ pork steamed buns, and the shrimp crepe rolls , plus the roasted meat platter with roast duck, crispy pork belly, and a honey-glazed BBQ that tastes like the five-spice you'd get on ribs. It was outstanding. The duck had real depth of flavor, the skin was perfectly crisp, and the meat was juicy and not the slightest bit dry. It comes sliced, and they'd taken out a lot of the bones, so it was easy to eat without working around anything. And the crispy pork belly was *genuinely* crisp , no sad chewy patches, no negotiating with it. Just a shattering top, tender underneath, all the way across. Nothing was overcooked, nothing was sloppy, everything seasoned like someone back there cared. Now the math. I usually go to Far East, which does have dim sum and which I do like , but they're only open Wednesday through the weekend now. Corner Bites is open all the time, which is how we ended up here in the first place. And once I was here, I pulled up Far East's menu to compare: every dim sum order at Corner Bites is about fifty cents cheaper, with bigger portions. That's not a rounding error, that's a pattern. They also do Peking duck, half or whole, and it's roughly $20-30 less than Peking Gourmet out by Seven Corners, the one everybody makes the pilgrimage to. Somebody near me ordered it and the staff talked it up. I didn't get it this time, but I'm coming back for it, because I would rather drive to Rockville than fight Northern Virginia traffic for a duck that costs thirty dollars more. Great food, fair prices, zero pretense. I'll be back. read more

We tried Corner Bites on Monday, August 10. We had the salt and pepper crispy pork, har gow, siu mai, chicken congee, and hot and sour soup. Everything was tasty, and it was nice to have a good variety of dishes to share. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. It was sometimes a little difficult to understand him, but he was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a solid spot for some casual Chinese food. read more

This would be a good dim sum spot in Rockville if you want to eat early in the day. There was some unique dim sum items that I haven't seen at other places. Must try the flounder red yeast rice roll, it was so so delicious. The pork and shrimp dumpling (shui mai) was so worth it, the portion was so big for each shui mai. The crispy seafood roll was a little sad since it only had shrimp and imitation crab, but it was called seafood. The shrimp Ha cao was decent. I would skip the HK milk tea, it was not worth it, for $6, save it to get actual milk tea at the boba shop. All the foods here tasted very very bland, which could be a good thing for your health but it was way too bland for me. Overall, this would be a good dim sum option if you want to eat early. read more

This place is in a building that looks somewhat antiquated, but we were fortunate to grab one of the last tables for our party of 5 considering it was on a Sunday morning. Overall, I thought the food and experience were ok. Waiters weren't attentive and it took a while to place our order. I am surprised by all of the high reviews, as their dim sum and roast pork left more to be desired. The roast pork skin was soggy and not crispy at all. I did enjoy the watercress and beef chow fun though. I'd recommend sticking to the entrees over the dimsum items here. read more

Tucked away like it is a secret lol. I enjoyed having dim sum bites a la carte; we had salt and pepper seafood (shrimp, squid), hargow, and shrimp cheung fun. Hard to beat when they're your favorites. The service was good, as you expect for an a la carte dimsum spot. It was quiet since we came before the lunch rush. Will have to be back to try some other bites but I'm glad they're around. read more

Corner Bites - Salt Pepper seafood - Dim Sum Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Wow! Loved the dim sum here. I saw an influencer in insta come in and ordered the same things as her. They were all amazing and I can't wait to come back and try something different. The food came out fast but we also had an early dinner. Our server was nice and the inside looked clean. I forgot the names of the dishes but I'll try my best. Egg tarts - this was really good and sweet Shrimp in noodles - the noodles and sauce were tasty Turnip cake - my favorite I ended taking my husband's half Stuffed eggplant - was stuffed with shrimp and I really enjoyed this Bbq pork pastries - very yummy and flaky Peach oolong tea - had really peach chunks in it read more

I've been wanting to give Corner Bites a try for awhile but the last couple times I suggested it my hubs just wanted to go to Bob's Shanghai, he wasn't feeling "experimental" I guess. Well, he's visiting his dad so I went by my lonesome last night. I arrived on a Friday night at 6:30 so was prepared to have to wait, but there were a couple free tables so it wasn't a long wait at all. I was able to find parking out front in the lot as well. Yay! I decided for my first visit to order some things I usually try at every dim sum esque establishment: shu mai and wontons in chili oil, and then also ordered the crispy seafood roll because it was something that sounded good that probably wouldn't have been my husband's first pick - and I gotta get something he wouldn't get when he's away. Muhahaha. The wontons in chili oil came out very quickly, and they were good though a bit different than I'm used to (not in a bad way). The wontons themselves were much larger than usual and had more meat and shrimp inside. The wrappers were more minimalistic as well. But, there was a lot less chili oil. It was more like there was just a spoonful or so drizzled over them, vs most places where it's kind of soupy. The chili oil didn't have as rich a flavor as usual either, less "tangy" but about the same heat level. So the different was a mix of positive (more meat!) and slightly negative. I'd still eat them again but the less ideal sauce kind of outweighed the more meat part for me. If you don't like the super soupy / tangy version this might be more your speed. Then the crispy seafood rolls came out. These were tasty for sure but I found myself wondering if they were actually a Chinese dish. The breading was more like a fried shrimp breading than what you'd get on a spring roll or an egg roll. I think all the seafood inside were shrimps, a good size - bigger than popcorn, smaller than jumbo. It came with a white sauce on lettuce similar to the sauce you get with walnut shrimp (ie. probably mayo + sugar + magic). I ate all this on site because I didn't think it would keep well. I would order it again but I'd feel like I might have fallen into the Americanized food trap :D Then I wondered if maybe they forgot the shu mai because I waited awhile but they did eventually arrive. These looked very similar to those from Bob's (who I have to admit have the gold standard for shu mai in my book) but they had some orange sprinkles (maybe roe?) on top. I didn't detect a particular flavor from them so probably roe. By the time they came I'd eaten half the wontons and all the shrimp rolls, so I only had room for one shu mai in my belly. It was good - but not as good as Bob's. I'd order it again, but I wouldn't need to order it on every visit like I do Bob's'. One thing to note in Corner Bites' favor is it is significantly less expensive than Bob's. My three dishes came to about $22 + tip. At Bob's it would have been close to $40 for those three dishes. So, if you're on a budget or dining with a budget conscious group, Corner Bites still has pretty good food for a lot less money. It's not best in class but it's still good, and I'd be happy to come back when Bob's is too busy or I've already spent too much of my dining out budget for the month to justify Bob's. If it were closer to my house I'd probably come more often but honestly most of the time if I'm driving out here I'm going to go right across the street. The restaurant looked clean, though I didn't visit the restrooms. The decor was cute, not over the top. No complaints about the service or anything. read more

Weekends are for Dim Sum! From the outside this place doesn't look like much. Plenty of parking, though the spots are pretty tight. We ordered some classics: har gow (shrimp dumplings), har Chong (shrimp steamed crepes), pork braised short ribs, crispy pork belly - very similar to lechón. The highlight for me was definitely the dim sum. Classically good and flavorful. The Cantonese style beef Cho fun had such good wok flavor too. I would definitely come back another time. read more

Went back for a return visit to see if the restaurant was just short staffed on my first visit. We ordered the Pork and Tofu hot pot and the Beef Chow Fun. I started with a Hot and Sour soup, and it was fine, if a little mild for my tastes. We came in late so there were only two other tables filled, quieter than my first visit. The entrees were well prepared and a good portion, this restaurant will definitely go into my rotation. read more

I've been here a couple of times. Stopped in for dimsum/early lunch. We ordered the Cantonese style beef chow fun, 1/2lb crispy roast pork, shumai, shrimp crystal dumpling, and steam shrimp rice noodle. The chow fun had a great wok flavor, the noodles are on the thinner side but flavor was good. The crispy roast pork was delicious, tender with the crispy skin. This was probably one of our favorites. The dimsum was also really tasty, I like the crystal dumpling which was filled with shrimp. The steam shrimp rice noodle was on the thicker side and the sauce was very light. Overall, we had a good meal and enjoyed the dimsum. It satisfied the craving I had. read more

Stopped in for dim sum / lunch on a Sunday. Place was busy and parking was utter chaos. One fool in a large Suburban took more than one space, essentially losing a space plus sticking out into the driveway. Waited in queue for about 15 min, but ended in a great table for three of us. Ordered a variety of dim sum, beef and Chinese broccoli, 1 lb of roast pig, 1 poached chicken. Majority of the dim sum was very good, har gow skin was a bit too thick, liked the shrimp roll (cheong fun), as it came w a couple of Chinese veg on the side. The roast pig was crunchy, but lacked flavor, even w a large dollup of hoisin sauce. The chicken was good, but also lacked flavor, if not for the garlic condiment. All in all, food was good, service was good, but be selective in ordering. And think about parking elsewhere and walk to restaurant- lucky if there were 15 spots for cars. read more

I stopped by with some friends after an evening run so we were definitely hungry. I was honestly really pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes and prices. The food was exactly as described and we asked the server for some recommendations. He was really kind in explaining all the options available.

Corner Bites - Dim Sum Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

A fairly new dim sum spot in the Rockville area. The restaurant was quite packed during weekend lunch, so I would highly recommend arriving early. There is a decent sized parking lot in front, which is convenient. The place was clean, and the staff was also friendly. The menu offers a wide variety of dim sum and Cantonese dishes, so you will likely find something you enjoy. In addition to the regular menu, there is a separate menu book featuring specialty items such as soup dumplings and Peking duck. Prices for the dim sum are reasonable compared to other spots in the area. There were only two servers handling orders and food service, which made things feel a bit hectic at times. They even had to double check whether certain dishes belonged to our table or another. The flavors of the dim sum were not overly strong, but well balanced and enjoyable. Portions were also generous. We especially liked the large pieces of shrimp in the har gow and shrimp rice noodle rolls. The sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf was particularly flavorful and filling, with a nice mix of ingredients like meat, chestnut, and mushroom. The biggest downside was the temperature of the food. While service was not especially slow, most dishes arrived lukewarm. The soup dumplings in particular were noticeably cool, which was disappointing. The egg drop soup also came out at the end, even though it is typically prepared in advance and served quickly. Overall, we enjoyed the food and would come back again. read more

I recently tried Corner Bites and ordered a few dim sum favorites: the wontons with chili sauce, steamed barbecue pork bao, and baked barbecue pork bun. The wontons with chili sauce were delicious exactly what you want from a good chili sauce: flavorful, savory, and with just the right amount of punch. But the steamed barbecue pork bao was definitely my favorite! The filling was perfect, the flavor was on point, and even the bun itself was delicious. Everything about it just worked. I could honestly eat several of these without thinking twice. read more

When in Rockville, I always want Chinese food. I came to Corner Bites after I had a nearby appointments, and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is no frills, but clean and bright. The service is really fast! I was shocked at how quickly the food came out. I tried several dishes, including Chicken pan fried noodles, shiu Mai, har gow, shrimp rice rolls, wonton noodle soup, shrimp and chive dumplings, and sticky rice. The items I liked the best and would definitely try again were the pan fried noodles, shiu mai, bok Choy, and the shrimp and chive dumplings. I thought the other items were good, but pretty typical. I did not like the sticky rice at all, and found it pretty bland. We had a lot of leftovers and the staff packed them to go. One odd thing I noticed is half of my sticky rice was missing. Maybe it fell in the floor? I'm not sure, and didn't care that much because I didn't like the dish any way. I would love to come back and try other dishes. read more

We came around noon on a Saturday,, lol I guess it's the peak hours! Parking was full so we had to park across the street or nearby areas. About 20-25 mins before we're seated. Suggest to come closer to 1 or right at 10 for opening time on weekends. Service was good aside being forgotten a bit after we ordered our drinks.. lol. This isn't a ayce with cart dim sum but they're all fresh made to order. All came piping hot, we got seafood roll (love it), shumai (good), soup dumpling (great), beef noodle roll (good) and pork bao bun (great but careful it's piping hot). Our coffee milk tea served in the black and white cow mug :). All in all, everything was delicious and would def be back for more! read more

Went on a Sunday morning at 10:30am, and there were still available parking spaces and tables. It filled up by the time we left at around 11:15am. Between the two of us, my husband and I ordered 7 dim-sum dishes and were out in 45 minutes, so that was quick. The bill was $47 before tipping. The restaurant has two separate dining areas. We sat in the front area where the tables were rectangular and the space is bigger than the back area. I believe the back dining area has a few circular tables. We used to frequent Hollywood East before it closed. We ordered the typical dishes we used to get at Hollywood East: Har Gow, steam chicken Shiu Mai, baked BBQ pork bun, minced beef congee, baked pineapple bun, and baked egg custard. Corner Bites did the same dishes better than Hollywood East. The buns were very fluffy, the shiu mai were huge, and the egg custard crust was very flaky. We ordered the baked roasted duck bun, as we typically like duck, but we weren't fans of the duck buns - too much cucumber and not enough duck. We wouldn't order the duck bun again, but would order everything else again! I would've liked if the menu was organized differently, because dim sum and larger plates are on the same page. Or maybe I would've liked a separate paper menu for the dim sum dishes, so that we can check off what we'd like to order. It can be hard to keep track of our orders! The dishes do come out really HOT, so be careful! read more

11.22.25 My friend took me out for my birthday dinner. I love dim sum (small dishes like tapas) and was excited with the selection they have. I ordered the fried pork puff, baked bbq pork bun, baked roasted duck bun, fried stuffed eggplant, beef rice noodle rolls, and sticky rice. I also ordered baked egg custard to go for my husband. She ordered the crispy seafood roll, congee, and sweet rice cake for dessert. I LOVED everything I ordered with my least favorite being the roasted duck bun. It needed more duck and the sauce was not spread uniformly. Some areas were dry. I'm huge on sauces so requested for more on the side for all my dishes. My friend didn't like the seafood rolls and she said the congee was bland so they replaced her congee and she said it tasted better. Our server was friendly and attentive; she checked on us frequently. I read reviews which said that the restaurant is generally busy so made reservations for 5:30pm. We arrived at 5:20pm and when we left an hour later, it wasn't busy at all. I wonder if they are busier at lunch time. I really enjoyed the food and service and would definitely return to try other dishes aside from dim sum. read more

New Cantonese/dim sum spot that seemed to have replaced what used to be an Asian grocery store. The food was hit or miss--the Cantonese lobster was the star as it was both very fresh and at a good price. I also enjoyed the eggplant although it was a little oily. But, the duck bun was a bit sparse on duck and the shrimp rice noodle had skin that was too thick and not the right chewy texture. The service was polite and fast, and there is free parking outside but the spots are tight and we almost couldn't find a parking spot. The ambiance could be better, for a restaurant that's fairly new the furniture already looks sort of old and the ceiling looks like a warehouse. Overall I would still return back for that delicious Cantonese lobster but they could probably make a couple of improvements. read more

6/27/26: Corner Bites was a solid stop during our visit to Rockville and a great option if you're looking for authentic Cantonese-style Chinese food. The restaurant has a no-frills, neighborhood feel, and the focus is clearly on the food. We ordered the BBQ Pork Rice Roll, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Sliced Fish Stir Fry with Chinese Greens, and the Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. The BBQ pork rice roll was a great way to start the meal, with silky rice noodles wrapped around tender char siu and topped with a light soy sauce. The Yang Chow fried rice was well seasoned, packed with ingredients, and had that classic wok flavor without feeling greasy. The standout dish for me was the Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. The noodles had a nice mix of crispy and soft textures, and the generous portion of shrimp, fish, squid, and vegetables made it easy to share. The Sliced Fish Stir Fry with Chinese Greens was another highlight, with tender fish and fresh vegetables cooked simply enough to let the ingredients shine. Service was efficient, and the food came out quickly despite the restaurant being fairly busy. The dining room is clean and comfortable, though it's definitely more of a casual neighborhood restaurant than a place you'd visit for the atmosphere. Overall, I'd give Corner Bites 4/5 stars. The food was fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced, with a couple of standout dishes that I'd happily order again. If you're in the Rockville area and craving Cantonese comfort food, it's definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to explore more of the menu. read more

Overall: Corner Bites is a great spot for dim sum, highly recommend you try it if you are in the area. Warning, parking is limited so be prepared to squeeze into the back. Food: The food here was great, we ordered several dishes and each one was spot on. Not much to say other than quality dim sum. Service: The service was fast considering the number of people inside. We got in as soon as the restaurant opened, and it quickly became crowded with a line outside. After ordering, we had a brief wait, but once the food started to roll in, it all came pretty quickly, one after another. Ambiance: The ambiance inside was that of a standard dim sum place. Lots of seating inside that can accommodate larger parties. read more

We couldn't be happier with the food and the service. In addition, the restaurant was nicely decorated and very clean I might add!

After a board game night nearby my buddy and I were not ready to call it, and we were kind of hungry. This place is on the newer side, and neither of us had gotten to try yet. So we agreed that we would swing by! After my first experience, I would definitely come again. So we got seated and got to work. Like another recent dim sum experience, there's no AYCE option, but each item is $6. So we managed to share a lot and we were stuffed. From sesame balls to pineapple buns and dumplings, every item was very tasty. And the tea to wash it all down made it even better. To have gone so long without dim sum, it's nice to be trying these new spots all of a sudden. I'm looking forward to my next experience! read more

A recent opening of corner bites had my family and I going straight for dim sum. The name itself pretty much describes the location, wedged in the corner of Rockville with delicious bites of authentic Chinese dishes. Parking is a bit tight but does the job and the exterior of the restaurant could use some work. Service is really good, the waiters and waitresses are very attentive and help with recommendations on their top selling dishes. They also have a variety of Chinese drinks (the originals Hong Kong milk tea is my go to). Dim sum options like har got, Siu Mai, etc are available from opening to closing. I also recommend the roasted duck dish--it's pretty delicious. They have small party room in the back but overall seating everywhere. read more

I was modestly hopeful when a friend mentioned that Corner Bites offered dim sum, even though it wasn't pushcart dim sum. We went as soon as they opened in hopes that that would maximize the freshness and availability of options. We were seated promptly and asked if we wanted tea and what kind of tea , which was nice. We ordered the sauted green beans which were fine, however they weren't fried enough to create the traditional wrinkled texture; the puff pastry bbq pork which didn't have a lot of flavor beyond just being sweet; the shumai which were huge, under seasoned and chunky; the sweet pork ribs in black bean sauce that barely had any meat on the bones or enough sauce; the fried pork puff which were good; minced beef congee with no seasoning at all; and lastly was the roasted duck buns which barely had any pieces of the under seasoned duck and was slathered in a overly salty housin concoction to cover up the fact that there wasn't any meat in the bun. I saw a couple people at other tables order noodle dishes like the beef chow fun, which, in hindsight, may have been a better move over the dim sum. The highlight of the experience was the service and the desserts. We orders the egg tarts and egg custard buns which were great but were like prepared from frozen, given the uniformity. Unfortunately I will unlikely be back to Corner Bites with the exception of maybe trying their noodle dishes. If you want good dim sum, this place is not it. read more

Corner Bites - Dim Sum Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

This is a place where you can order some dim sum dishes along with other dishes on their menu. Not a restaurant where employees come around with the push carts. Seats and parking spaces are limited. The egg tart was delicious when it came out hot with a nice sweet and soft inside. I liked that the chicken feet were not overly sweet. The sweet and sour pork was also delicious meat was soft on the inside, and I liked how the vegetables were half cooked so that I can even eat the onions. The soup from the braised beef noodle was not overly salty and the shrimp wontons were filled with a decent amount of shrimp. However the beef in the noodle soup was too hard for me to chew. The bean curd seafood clay pot was decent, but not the best I've had. I didn't like the Chinese fish cake in there since it tasted more like mushed flour to me. However I did like how much variety of protein was in this dish. read more

A new dim sum spot has opened in Rockville. Corner Bites serves both traditional favorites and a few new dishes. Despite a packed dining room that required a short wait, the meal was well worth it. We sampled an array of dishes, from beef tripe and duck feet to shrimp dumplings and fried pork puffs. The standout, however, was the baked barbecue pork pastry-an absolute must-try. Its BBQ pork was fresh and tender, better than most other restaurants. Corner Bites is a welcome alternative for dim sum lovers. I can't wait to try other dishes. read more

Came here for dinner dim sum; this is not cart dim sum so everything is fried/steamed to order. I personally prefer dim sum this way because you don't end up waiting an eternity for someone to come by your table with over steamed soggy snacks. Everything was very fresh and very tender, I would rank this above the other 3 local dim sum places. It was hustlin and bustlin at late dinner time when the previous tenants struggled to fill the lot. Probably our new go to dim sum spot! If you dunno what to order, get what I got in the pictures, pretty basic order that almost every dim sum restaurant will have. Siu mai - pork dumpling in a wrap with some shrimp. Har gao - shrimp dumpling in clear wrapper (not pictured) Steamed pork ribs - pork steamed with a black pepper sauce Seafood tofu soup Turnip cake - dim sum staple (these were fresh fried so they came out hot and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside). read more

I read about this new restaurant and decided to give it a try. Fellow yelpers got it right. It certainly lived up to the good reviews. It was a Sunday morning, and the place was packed. Service was very good, even with the crowd. I'm a big fan of comfort food and really miss the wonton noodles and congee places in New York's Chinatown. There aren't many places like this in the DC area. This restaurant comes pretty close with its dim sum, noodles, and congee. We ordered shrimp and beef rice noodle rolls, wonton noodle soup, pineapple buns, and minced pork with Century Egg congee. Everything was delicious. The menu has all my favorites. But I can only eat so much in one visit. I have to come back to try more of the dim sum, noodles, and other dishes. Parking - It was Sunday morning when we visited. The parking lot was packed and the spaces were tight. Next time, we probably would go on a weekday since we have the flexibility. read more

This is my new favorite place for dim sum. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and the amount you get (which is uncommon with this economy!) I don't think there was one dish I've disliked. My go to dishes are the shrimp rice noodle rolls and salt and pepper fried tofu, I've also enjoyed the steamed BBQ pork baos, chicken shumai, pan-fried turnip cake. For dessert, I recommend the sesame balls dessert! Parking is limited, but you can park across the street the in garage near The Spot. I always usually have leftovers which is nice to pack for lunch the next day. I've recommended this place to many people and they've all come back with raving reviews. read more

So nice to have an all day dim sum location. No more waiting for the weekend! We ordered the usual suspects of har gow, sui mai, dan tart, lo bak go, and char siu bao. We also added the chinese broccoli and beef chow fun which was my favorite dish. It was definitely prepared the proper Cantonese way! When we got the char siu bao, they actually brought us what looked like the pineapple buns because of the topping. I have never seen char siu bao with that topping. So I asked are you sure you brought us the char siu and the server said yes. We bite into them and they were pineapple. He had to bring us a replacement and the second time it was the char siu with the topping that would normally be on top of pineapple buns. The dan tart were the mini ones. They had a lot of buttery taste from the flaky crust. I thought the ratio of egg custard to crust was too much crust so tasted on the dry side. Very happy to see this new place and will definitely be back to try the other options. read more

Food wise, everything was great except for one minor detail -- I'll save that for last. We ordered about $83 worth of food (pre-tip), $100 post, for 3 adults, 1 toddler, and a baby. We were stuffed. The usual suspects at a dim sum table were pretty much ordered. The portion sizes were great for the price. The service was good too! The restaurant filled up fully by 11-11:20am. We arrived at around 10:20 and it was already half filled. The busgirls were attentive. The waiters were always hustling about. Special shout out to the bean curd skin wrap, chicken feet, and shumai. I can firmly say these three dishes are going to make the other dim sum restaurants in the DMV area sweat! Now for the only, and tiny, lowlight. The beef chow fun was actually pretty good. The bad part was the tomato pieces in it. First off, the tomato pieces were too sour. Next, tomatoes do not add anything extra to this dish. Beef chow fun is supposed to be a bit greasy and oil and it's balanced out by the bean sprouts' crunchiness and the scallions' freshness. The acidity (and the sourness) from the tomato is not doing this dish any favors. My suggestion for the restaurant is to do away with tomatoes in the Beef Chow Fun. And as for Yelpers and restaurant goers, please ask the chef to take away the tomatoes when you're ordering this dish. We will go back for more! Tl;dr, good price, good service, great food. Take out the tomatoes from Beef Chow Fun :) read more
