We had the mongolian beef that was flavorless and had a floury texture that was rubbery instead of crispy at all, the chicken lo main that had no flavor, the seafood combo was barely edible. The steamed dumplings had such a thick dough and separated completely, the meat itself wasn't as bad as the rest and the spring rolls were okay. All the meat dishes had the same rubbery unpleasant texture. Super unfortunate as it was for my dads birthday and it was not celebratory at all.

It was my first time to try food at Amore Eats, today 2/8…read more Everyone I know has been raving about Amore Eats. I was so excited to walk in and to try the food today. I ordered the Taiwanese style "Popcorn chicken" and once it was done, I sat down right away to take a bite. I took three bites and it was so flavorful and all of a sudden I realized when I looked at the chicken it wasn't cooked and raw. I then thought it was just me and took two more bites of the chicken and realized some of the chicken were raw and some were cooked. I was so sad inside. I let the owners know right away and they said would you like us to make you another one. I felt uncomfortable to eat it again and said no thank you I would just like my refund. They asked me if I wanted anything else and I said no thank you. I was just sad because I wanted to really enjoy what I ordered and my stomach felt sick after knowing I ate raw chicken bites when it ate into the chicken. Sadly it was very important for me to write this review because I did get sick from what I ate and have not felt good for the rest of today till the evening. Pleaseeeeee Check your chicken before you order and see if it was done.

Definitely enough for two people thanks to the pro tip some kind other customer gave us. Also ordered the tempura broccoli which was amazing as well. If you can eat that one before it gets soggy I recommend, but still good even when it was soggy. The flavors were just spectacular. I miss this place just writing this review! Go here and keep them in business for the next time I come back.

I ordered two main dishes and was originally told it would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up taking double that, so just keep that in mind if you're in a rush like we were. The space itself is pretty small too, so it's more of a grab and go place. The Neighborhood Bird bowl was a HUGE portion. It was kind of spicy but the pickled onions helped even it out. I also tried the ancho chile pork bun. The bun itself tasted amazing,but it was a bit difficult to eat. The bottom got pretty soggy while the top bun was thick and tall, so it kind of fell apart while eating.

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.

My favorite dishes so far are: Beef cubes with seven spices (appetizer) Fish with Plum Sauce - this is deep-fried fish with a plum sauce, and it is better than your typical sweet-and-sour fish dish Shredded Beef with scallions Shredded pork with bamboo Yu tsai with garlic Eggplant with basil Spinach with garlic I didn't particularly like the crispy stinky bean curd or the steamed fish with soy beans. I think these are an acquired taste. We will be back to try other dishes as well!

Despite 1 server working the whole restaurant she was efficient friendly and attended to our needs with rice and water etc!

It is still a bit far (35min), but doable. I also wasnt sure if i would be able to eat something because wheat noodles, but the staff were awesome enough to allow my substitution of wheat noodles for glass noodles in the dish i had chosen. I had originally made the nice lady very nervous with my request and she tried to convince me to try the dish that was advertised with the glass noodles, but i assured her that it would be fine as i normally eat noodles without soup. I ordered the 3 oil noodles with ground pork. It was very tasty. Especially after i added vinegar and the house chili oil. Definitely coming back.

I've visited a few times and keep coming back for the noodle soups. My go-to is the lamb noodle…read moresoup with a spicy broth, and it never disappoints--rich, flavorful, and packed with tender pieces of lamb. One of the highlights is the handmade noodles, which you can customize in thickness, from delicate angel hair to something as hearty as fettuccine. The menu has plenty of variety beyond soups, including dumplings, spring rolls, stir-fried noodles, and oil-tossed noodle dishes. I also tried the braised intestines on the side; while they were well-prepared, the texture wasn't quite for me--I'd probably enjoy them more if they were fried. Ordering is convenient, whether you prefer doing it in person, through the app, or at the kiosk. The space has a good number of tables for dining in, and there's even a piano if you know how to play. Overall, it's been a consistently enjoyable spot for lunch.

Two stars for the ice cream and shaved ice, one star for the owner. We've tried it three times…read more There's nothing special about the shaved ice and it's always inconsistent when it comes to the amount of toppings and flavoring. The final nail in the coffin was watching an employee take the ice scoop off the floor of the van and use it inside. The owner (maybe operator) seems to think he can park anywhere, any time in his van as well as go out the exit to make an illegal left turn. He'll look at you like you're inconveniencing him when you are waiting on him to turn left so you can turn right, as you're supposed to. Anyway, you're not missing anything here except maybe Covid or other viruses.
