Stinky rice and Har gow
Yuki N.

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.

Awesome spot for dim sum or other Cantonese dishes! Pretty busy on a Saturday morning but we were seated quickly and also got our food in a timely fashion. We enjoyed the steamed chicken with ginger/garlic sauce, soup dumplings, and salt/pepper pork chop. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Limited indoor seating.

We have been here before. The food quality and taste for dimsum have really gone down. Even the jasmine tea was tasteless and weird. One of the fried seafood rolls was burnt. We couldn't even finish the four dishes we got and didn't feel like ordering more. Won't be coming back.

Minced beef congee

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!

Wonton noodle soup

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.

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!

We went with a party of 15 on Friday evening and the food and service was fabulous. We haven't come here for over a year and was pleasantly surprised with this new owner's management. Our waiter, Kevin, a young man, was very polite and attentive and provided us with all the things that we need. The food was delicious and hot! I will definitely come back for more if they continue with the yummy food and good service!

Inside the sticky rice (11.22.25)
Carroll N.

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.

Corner Bites is a great spot for dimsum. Try and get there early though because parking fills up! We had to get the staples and everything was outstanding! The beef rice crepes were delicious! The crepes were the perfect texture! Happy to have a new dim sum place in MoCo!

Egg tarts
Wilton P.

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.

Sticky rice
Lydia C.

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.

Solid dim sum place. Service is always good. Casual atmosphere. Nothing fancy. Tight parking spaces with limited parking when busy.

Brian L.

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.

Stopped by Far East Restaurant for dim sum recently and was so happy to see dine-in seating fully…read moreback again after COVID -- it really brings back the classic dim sum experience. 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.

Far East is a longtime staple in the DMV food scene, having been in operation since 1974. I was a few times a year patron leading up to 2019, and the last time I was there was in 2023. During my 2023 visit, the place was showing it's age with dingy matted carpeting and cramped dining room. Against my better judgement, I made the trek into Rockville to meet up with some folks for Sunday dim sum. IMHO, while it's true at one point, VA dim sum was inferior to it's MD siblings across the river, I'd say there are plenty of comparable if not BETTER places in VA. Our group was large (15), so we had to dine at two tables, as the largest table could only accomodate12. And note, for dim sum, Far East does not seat incomplete parties, so everyone arrive early. Also note, if you do choose to dine here, the parking lot is fairly small - but there is additional parking towards the back past the dumpsters. My recollection from 2023, was the selection of dishes was quite limited, and the 3-4 ladies who were pushing the steam carts, were peddling the same items over and over. That experience has not changed in 3 yrs. Upon sitting, our hungry group ordered dishes of shrimp dumplings (har gow), shumai, tofu rolls, rice rolls w/shrimp and beef, etc. Everything was fine; but nothing really stood out. The items were lukewarm, and cooled within a few minutes of being passed around the Lazy Susan. To me anyway, I found many of the dishes to be underseasoned...and when does a person characterize Chinese food as not being SALTY enough? The table chili oil was also quite bland. There was a good mix of fried chilis combined with oil, but there was just a hint of spice/heat with the predominant flavor being a heavy greasiness. Perhaps the worst part of the experience was the service. Even accepting that Chinese restaurants are notorious for "providing" legendary bad service, Far East exceeded that reputation. I understand that it was Sunday and the place was busy, but it took over 10 minutes for water and tea to arrive. And a few times, I literally had to get up from the table to flag down servers to refill empty water glasses and tea pots. Piles of dirty dishes kept piling up to the point where a few of us, took them to the bussers and food runners ourselves to make space for new dishes at the table. However, the worst incident was at the end when the servers and what I assume was the manager, rushed us to pay the bill since they needed the table, one of the staff was hurriedly cleaning the table, and spilled an entire glass of ice water on my friend's dress! He didn't even apologize, and when she went to complain to the manager, the only thing he said was, "it's only water, it will wash out." Wow! even by Chinese restaurant standards, that's bad!!! When the bill arrived, the total came out to roughly $35/person with tax and tip (gratuity is already included for larger parties, so be sure to double-check the bill). The meal was definitely NOT worth the $35, and for that amount, I could've had a much better and filling meal at Peter Chang Herndon - https://www.yelp.com/biz/peter-chang-herndon?osq=Peter+Chang This will undoubtedly be the last time I travel to Montgomery County for dim sum...and especially to Far East Restaurant.

At the start of the switch, the food was still delicious and flavorful. Now, it is overpriced, tiny, and not good. As someone that used to come often, I can tell they've switched their recipes and it's not good. Some of the dim sum was normally priced but still lacked flavor and freshness they used to have. Some dim sum was completely overpriced and the portions were like three bites. Very disappointed to see they changed the recipe because some dishes are not traditional dim sum anymore. The service used to be great too but now they don't care as much. I asked for water multiple times and sauce but they just kept saying it was coming. Some of the nicest people worked there but i'm not sure if they still work there or they're gone but they weren't there during my visit. Unfortunately, I don't think i'll be coming back. From the food to the prices to even the cleanliness, it's a no go. There were stains all over and even on the chairs and the table. The stains on the table were there before we started eating. Disappointed at how bad this place has become :(

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!

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.
