One of the decent Dim sum in the area without driving out to Baltimore. Best time to head out there by 11am before the crowds hits specially on the weekends. But we got there on a weekday and the lunch rush didn't hit until little after 12pm. When we got there little after 11am on a weekday and there was an older gentleman just toss the menu at us and when I asked him for tea and ice water plus hot sauce as well. HE just walked away like he didn't even want to be there. When we check for the wrong item we apologize but still kept the dish and wanted to order more. But he was being rude the whole time. Until we ended up asking another waiter to serve us instead of him. - Chicken feet - Bean Curd wrapped with pork - Steam Spare ribs - Chives & shrimp dumplings - Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce - Roasted pork cheung fun - Pineapple bun filled with custard - Deep Fried shrimp balls - Stuffed eggplants

Honestly I think we came on the wrong day. Would recommend coming on the weekend when they have cart service. Coming on a weekday, the food didn't taste fresh -- seems like reheated stuff from cart service the previous day. The best items were the Har Gau and Cheung Fun. The empress chicken was very dry and would not get the again

It's my 2nd time eating at Mai Dragon but this time it is for a repast. They accommodated & seated our big group very quickly with plenty of elbow room - total of 6 tables. Water, sodas and hot tea were served immediately. Then the yummy food started coming out. And they were all tasty. A total of 7 dishes: beef chow fun, bbq pork, walnut shrimp, crispy pork, couple of vegetarian dishes, and steamed chicken. Our dessert was some orange slices. So much food, so full and so much leftover. Check them out if you are near Ft. Meade area.

Came here for the first time with a group of friends for dim sum on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered numerous items: steamed bak choy, fried chow fun (wide rice noodles), BBQ pork buns, sui mai, steam shrimp dumplings, steamed tofu wrappers, daikon radish cake (which is savory), steamed rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, egg custard tarts, black sesame buns, and pineapple buns. Total came to approximately $117 (not including tip). What's hot - Quality. Pretty delicious! All the dishes we ordered were yummy and well-flavored. My friends particularly liked the daikon radish cake, which was savory, tender and not too salty; the rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, which was soft and well-seasoned from all the mix-ins; the black sesame buns, which were filled with a sweet black sesame paste, and; the pineapple buns, which they all said was their favorite, because it was sweet, but not too sweet, and had a nice crunchy top. It's not easy to find a good dim sum restaurant that makes quality food, but this one seems to have it. - Layout. Pretty decent. Their tables don't appear to fit more than 6-8 people, though. So be mindful and prepared depending on how large your group is. - Service. All their staff appear to be immigrants and native Chinese speakers. I bring that up to emphasize that their staff know good food. Their dim sum is also rolled around on carts, rather than ordered off menus, which is how dim sum is usually ordered and served. I like that they keep to the traditional way of serving. They're pretty mindful of when to interrupt you while you're eating with your group. For example, their staff walked by our table with the carts of dishes, but didn't always interrupt us to ask what we wanted, which was nice. Also, as I'm the only one of my group who speaks Chinese, so their staff eventually ended up coming to me with the food so I could decide what to order off their carts. Lastly, I walked out without my takeout boxes. While I stayed outside with my group of friends talking, one of their staff walked outside and gave me my bag of leftovers. Very much appreciated! - Price. Very good value for money. It came out to approximately $25 per person. Given the amount of food we ordered and the quality, it was a pretty good trade off. - Location. Easy to find in a plaza and there's a decent size parking lot. It's also close to other businesses, such as Rita's Italian Ice. What's not - Variety. To be fair, I'm pretty certain I didn't see all the dishes that came around. I did see a fair amount, which are all dim sum dishes I'm familiar with, including tripe, chicken feet, several other sweet buns, etc.... However, they do not appear to have many veggie dishes, such as snow peas, steamed eggplant, etc.. but as I said, there may be other dishes I didn't see. Final answer Worth returning for dim sum.

Nice restaurant on Odenton with reasonable prices. Great service and the food was excellent. Relaxed atmosphere inside.

Din sum assortment
Marianne Navarro ..

Delicious and authentic dim sum. There is a ton of variety of dumplings, bao, and vegetables. The place is always packed on weekends when I have gone but the staff is busy but attentive. They come around with carts of dishes for you to choose from to add to your feast. The tables have a large lazy Susan which is fun to spin. It's great to walk through the restaurant with Chinese decor and see so many families, couples, and coworkers dining together.

I was quite disappointed by the quality of the food this time around. I've eaten here for dim sum several times and haven't had any issues. This review is for take out on a Monday evening. Ham sui gok - overall taste is good, but very little filling Lo mai gai - this was one of the better tasting items of the order Bbq roast pork - it was off putting to find a lot of liquid in the container. My guess is that this was frozen and re-steamed. This was disappointing since you can buy the marinade and that would have been more flavorful. Crispy roast pork - this tasted reheated/refried. Kingdom Pork chops - one of the top items of the order. No complaints. Black bean class - no complaints. Pickled cabbage and beef - good but not the best I've had.

One of the places I miss the most since relocating to West Coast is eating dim sum at Mai Dragon. So many of the important milestones, Sunday lunch with my mom, and celebration meals were enjoyed here. Every plates are prepared with care and just right. The service is prompt and attentive. I've never had anything that tasted overcooked or tepid. I didn't know that was a thing until I had some lousy dim sum experience recently. Mai Dragon is precisely the reason why I have been so spoiled for years. If and when I am back in the area, I know for certain to at least come by twice!

Variety

Great spread through Too Good to Go. Look forward to going back to pick out some of their vegan options. Sesame balls were amazing. Pick up order was ready right on time.

Duck noodle soup
Jody M.

Such a great place for dinner! I came here and was happy to see so much variety in the menu. The Dim Sum options we tried were all delicious, especially the Yolk buns. Wow so good. All of our meals here great, we tried Kung Pan Chicken, Duck noodle soup and Moo Shy Chicken. The sizes were huge and we had so many leftovers. The service was great and fast. It is a secret gem.

Kung Pao Lunch

Extremely disappointed with my delivery order. First there was no communication re: whether or not the order had been received and was being prepared after ordering through the Yelp platform. When I received it, I was saddened by the quality of the food. Never have I ever been served Kung Pao chicken with no vegetables. It is only chicken and peanuts. There are no vegetables in the fried rice either. This was a go to spot for me when worked in the area near the restaurant a few years ago, but it has severely declined in service and food quality. I will not be ordering from here again.

Good right up to the trash cart.
Lean M.

Disappointed with their dim sum, not fresh at all. Service is good that's the reason for the three stars, the busgirl parked her trash cart right next to the food cart, pretty nasty.

More dim sum dishes, made fresh and kept hot and steamy
Pauline S.

When am I in the mood for dim sum? Always! Every day of the week! And that is just one reason why I love Mai Dragon: they're open for dim sum not just on the weekends but during the week! And the food. Ohhh the food I love that I can get solid dim sum in sleepy, suburban MD. From steamed bao and dumplings, to baked/fried goodies, to veggies and noodles, I cannot get enough Mai Dragon. I love that I can get any taste satisfied: savory, sweet, saucy or plain, crispy or soft... The Hong Kong-style with the carts is so fun and I never leave hungry or j satisfied. There's a good reason why this place is always packed. (Pro tip: go early!) Incase it's not clear, I love this place!

We had a 7:00 PM reservation for seven -- planned largely around my son's birthday request and his love of Dim Sum. Unfortunately, Dim Sum isn't available on Tuesday nights, which was a minor disappointment since our previous Sunday visit gave us the full Dim Sum experience. We shifted to ordering family-style and were genuinely pleased with the meal. The Moo Shu Pork, Peking Duck, Chicken Fried Rice, Mápó Dòufu, and Bok Choy were all flavorful and well-prepared. Everything came with won ton soup and tea, which was a nice touch and added to the overall experience. The atmosphere feels authentic and comfortable, and the staff was friendly throughout the evening. The manager tried to steer us toward several suggested dishes -- it was a bit unclear whether this was purely helpful guidance or an effort to highlight readily available items -- but we appreciated the input and did enjoy the bok choy recommendation. Pricing was reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, despite the Dim Sum surprise, it was an enjoyable and satisfying dinner. We would absolutely return -- just on a weekend next time for Dim Sum.

I gotta say... this dim sum was good.. really good…read more So big yet so plump and juicy. It really rivals the ones I've had in New York or in the West Coast. The classic Shu Mai is just glistening with flavor. The Har Gow had huge pieces of shrimp. The Cheung Fun was so well made and moist. But the star of the show was unexpected - the Salted Egg Yolk bun. Whoever is the baker back there needs a raise. The Yolk Bun was so fragrant and doughy (almost like Mochi)... we were in awe at how good it was. Now you may be questioning why I didn't give this place a 5 star with such extremely positive remarks. Well... THE CART LADY NEVER CAME BACK! I swear if you see the cart you better order everything at once. The food is extremely well-made, but the cart service really waters down the experience. Idk why they only have 1 cart lady on a weekend, but I hope they makes some changes in the future!

Dumpling District - Crab Meat Soup Dumplings

This place used to be Nan Xiang Express. We've never eaten at the replacement Dumpling District in…read moreperson, but we've ordered delivery here a couple of times. The rice cakes and the salty sticky rice roll are pretty good. My wife was craving the chicken and broccoli w/ brown sauce. I was not a fan of this dish. The broccoli tasted bitter and the chicken seemed low quality. I wouldn't get this dish again. The noodles with scallion sauce was good. The noodles stuck together and the scallions in the dish were bitter, but the taste was decent. I can't fully score a place based on delivery, but if you're in the mood for Shanghainese cuisine, this place isn't a bad option.

There's plenty of parking in the lot just outside from the restaurant. Seats around 20 mostly at tables for four, with probably 20 more tables in the attached tea-house next door. We arrived in the early afternoon on a Friday, and there were only two or three other full tables. We ordered from a touch-screen by the register at the back counter. Food was served in take-out containers, and looked fabulous. We asked for plates, and collected up our chopsticks and forks and sauces and napkins by the register. We got the 6-variety "rainbow" soup dumplings, a sticky-rice roll, and a cucumber salad. We got a soda, and it would have been easy to get tea from the attached next-door tea-house. Salad was fresh and flavorful and generous with a bright cilantro dressing. Every dumpling was hot and juicy and tender, with good flavor. We felt that fillings were good, but not extraordinary. The "crab and pork" and "truffles and pork" dumplings were predominantly pork. The sticky-rice roll was dense and lightly flavored, nice with soy and vinegar sauce. And there's more appetizers and cantonese-style dishes available. This place is ultra-casual, almost fast-food in style, and better than fast-food in food flavor and quality.
