Seafood Chow Fun
Ailun H.

After a long day outside, we decided to drive a bit further to Germantown for a Cantonese dinner. A few of us grew up eating Cantonese food, so we wanted the classics. The servers speak Cantonese, which was a good sign. We ordered food and a couple plates arrived within 5 minutes (!!) which was insanely fast. I think we got all of our dishes within 10 minutes of ordering. I'm not sure how they whipped it up so quickly. CHICKEN & CORN SOUP - 9.95 We got two orders of this since there were six of us, and each person was able to enjoy almost two bowls of the soup. This was more like egg drop soup at an American Chinese restaurant with some bits of corn and chicken. You really can't call this "chicken & corn" soup. There was lots of cornstarch to give a thick texture. Overall, it's not bad but I think most people can make a better chicken & corn soup at home. BARBECUE PLATTER (3 SELECTIONS) - 21.95 +bbq pork +bbq crispy pork +bbq roasted duck The bbq was fine, nothing to write home about. The bbq pork was vibrantly red, but flavor was a bit bland. The bbq crispy pork wasn't very crispy, but it had a good ratio of skin, fat, and meat. The bbq roasted duck was just fatty. SEAFOOD CHOW FUN - 14.95 Instead of the wavy egg noodles, the server recommended the flat rice noodles (hor fun) because she said it was better. There was a good amount of vegetables and seafood. Aesthetically, it looked delicious. It wasn't too oily, which is good, but it was pretty bland and lacked the "wok hay" flavor... Almost like they just lightly sauteed it on a pan. SAUTEED CHINESE BROCCOLI W GARLIC - 13.95 The texture was nice and crunchy, but again, very bland and no "wok hay" flavor. I ate it for health. EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC SAUCE - 11.95 The eggplant was incredibly saucy and flavorful, definitely the best dish we got. It was soft, tender, and creamy which went well with the garlic sauce. Our entire table agreed this was our favorite. KINGDOM PORK CHOP - 15.95 The sauce was a dark red and very thick. We knew without trying that it was going to be too overpowering and sweet. Indeed it was. Out of everything we ordered, this was definitely our least favorite because it was borderline inedible. I had high hopes since someone recommended New Village as one of the best Cantonese restaurants in the area, but it ended up being pretty mediocre. Like another review had mentioned, most dishes felt flat since the flavors lacked the "wok hay" depth we were looking for. The pricing was very good though since we paid less than $21 per person after tax and tip, and we had enough leftovers for at least two more meals.

Dinning Area

Not sure why the low scores, we enjoyed the food - lobsters (in season), string beans, and pork chops. The severs were friendly (they weren't so busy at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon), and tired to entertain my in-laws. Running a business in this economy isn't easy...I'm giving it 5 stars.

Crispy Skin Roast Pig, Roast Pork Cantonese Style, Roast Duck Cantonese Style, $19.95 (4.14.22)

5.11.25 My family took my mother to an early dinner around 5 PM on Mother's Day. We were a party of 8. We did not make reservations as my mother said we would not need it and we did not. I did notice that there were some larger tables that were reserved so I guess we got lucky. We ordered lots of entrées to share including: lobster, pork chop, bok choy, mixed veggie dish (?), moo shi chicken, soy sauce chicken, crispy shredded beef, and crispy squid. I also ordered the crab meat and fish maw soup which has a serving for two, but the portion is generous and can serve five. I also ordered crispy eggplant, but was informed they didn't have it. I thoroughly enjoyed everything although I didn't eat the veggie dish. The fish soup was pungent and tasted very fishy compared to other places I've had it (although it's been years). I had leftovers and added ground black pepper the next day which helped lessen the pungent taste. Although the food was great, service was less than optimal. Our server who may have been the owner, was rude and inattentive. When the soup came out in a big bowl, he only brought one small bowl. The menu said serving for two so there should have been at least two bowls. When I requested bowls, he only brought an additional one out. My sister asked my family how many of them wanted soup and three of them did. So she had to request three additional bowls. My sister said our server said that we ordered a lot of food. She was annoyed as that is our prerogative. As long as we are paying why should he care? You would think that that would be a good thing that the restaurant would want large orders to bring in more revenue. Our server just wasn't hospitable and seemed very rude. Surprisingly he actually thanked us when we left. When I went to pay the tab, the employee who was at the register asked if it was ok to charged 20% tip which was circled on the tab. The service sucked so I didn't think that they deserve 20% but I gave it to them anyways. My sister said she is less inclined to return due to the service.

Hunan Shrimp.
Ivy Q.

Stay away from here. The woman who took my order at the cash register on 10/19 had a attitude problem. The prices are astronomical I paid OVER $18 for Hunan Shrimp. I purchased 2 my total was $38.11. I considered a 3rd purchase because I found out I was having another guest. The woman says "Why you want more order? It take long time, 30-40 minutes we so busy"! I got home and the THE FOOD WAS SO NASTY... the Hunan sauce tasted like vinegar & cardboard. The gave me one box of rice for two orders of Hunan. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Pipa Tofu, but it's just plain mashed tofu--no shrimp at all. crabmeat on gravy is replaced with egg whites. Total bait and switch.
Heru S.

This place used to be amazing before COVID, serving authentic Cantonese food that was hard to find elsewhere. But my visit last week was a total disappointment and honestly felt like a scam. I get that prices have gone up--every restaurant raised prices after COVID, and I don't mind paying more. But what they're doing now is unacceptable: they've butchered the portions, especially the protein, to the point of being insulting. I ordered the seafood pan-fried noodles, which came with a pathetic amount of seafood: 2 tiny shrimp, 2 little strips of squid, 2 paper-thin slices of scallop (probably just one scallop cut in half), 2 small strips of fish cake, and a few vegetables. For something labeled "seafood," that's a joke. The pipa tofu--which is supposed to be tofu mixed with shrimp--had ZERO shrimp flavor. It was just plain tofu. Calling this "pipa tofu" is false advertising, plain and simple. The only dish that still tasted decent was the soy sauce chicken. Everything else was a shadow of what it used to be. Honestly, throwing in 4-5 real shrimp and a proper portion of scallops wouldn't bankrupt them. But cutting corners this badly will. I drove almost 50 minutes from Howard County for this meal, and it was a complete waste of time and money. If they keep scamming customers like this, they won't stay in business for long. Sorry for being harsh but I have to be honest!

Tasteless rice

I Order the Lo mein and shrimp fried rice. Unfortunately, I am not impressed. The food has no taste, furthermore the Lo mein is dry and tasteless!

BBQ platter 2 selections (crispy and roast pork)
Micah C.

Had lunch here with my husband on a late Sunday afternoon and the place was pretty slow. We were seated and given menus right away. The menu is pretty extensive. We ordered the egg drop soup to share. For entrees, we got the crispy beef and bbq with two meats (we picked roast pork and crispy pork). The crispy beef came with rice, but the bbq platter did not. The menu is not really descriptive. Also our server didn't seem like the patient type. So I recommend going through reviews before coming here if you're not familiar with this type of cuisine. The food is good. It leans towards the salty/greasier side, but I still liked it. I liked the crispy beef the best. It's not doused in sauce which I appreciated. The crispy pork was fattier than I would've liked. However, the portions are BIG! I read reviews before coming to this place and saw the complaints about the service, but it was ok, maybe because I expected it to be horrible. No one came to refill our waters. Also they took our chopsticks before we ordered. I'm assuming they thought we don't know how to use chopsticks. It was also hard to flag down a server because they started eating lunch around the same time we were. The table of 4 next to us were told about the 18%-20% tip suggestion but we weren't, so we tipped based on the service we got.

Shrimp with lobster sauce
Jennifer R.

We had a great experience at New Village last week. The Cantonese style dishes were delicious. We tried the shrimp with lobster sauce, deep fried pork chops, beef fried rice, eggplant with garlic sauce, seafood pan fried noodles, and congee. Every dish we tried was delicious. The service was quick and friendly even though they spoke very little English. We were seated right away and didn't have to wait. The ambiance is casual, but they have white table cloths with plenty of seating for large parties. I definitely would recommend eating here again. I can't wait to try other dishes including the Peking duck.

Sliced Pig's Feet, Buddhist Delight
Joyce K.

My dad went inside the restaurant to make a reservation for later that day. However, when he spoke to the hostess, she disrespectfully, dismissively, and angrily yelled "THERE ARE NO MORE TABLES" (in chinese). Multiple people turned around and as a result of this incident, my family decided to never return and to inform our friends of this incident. When there are other Chinese restaurants in the area with better food and service, it's safe to say that we won't be missing New Village.

Egg rolls
Jessica A.

Stopped on my way home from the airport after a weekend out of town, placed my order, and was invited to take a seat while I waited for my order to be prepared. It didn't take long and I was on my way home with my takeout. Imagine my surprise when I got home to find that my egg rolls had been left out of the bag. After a day of traveling, I didn't want to go back for them, I called the restaurant and they said I could come get them the following day. So I enjoyed my sweet and sour chicken for dinner. After work the following day, I stopped for the egg rolls. Not only were they apologetic for forgetting them The day before, they gave me a complimentary large egg drop soup along with the egg rolls, which was definitely more than I expected, great customer service and I look forward to returning the next time I'm looking for Chinese takeout.

Anna P.

First off, I never leave bad reviews. This is the first bad review I am leaving based off of my personal experience. I came here with my mom and sister and the service here was HORRIBLE. For a party of 3, we only ordered 3 items but once it was time to pay, the workers demanded that we tipped them an extra $20. They would not leave until we gave them a $20 tip. Mind you that we had a small party of 3 and we did not order that much food. We had originally left a 15% tip but that was not enough for the workers so they harassed us to tip an extra $20. We always tip properly, but this management forced us to tip more than what they serviced us. We didn't finish all the food either so we asked for carry out boxes which WE (my sister and I) HAD TO BOX OURSELVES. What is the point of tipping extra on top of what we tipped for the bare minimum service? We will NEVER EVER be coming back here. What a terrible way to run a business. DO NOT EAT HERE. YOU WILL GET HARASSED TO LEAVE AT LEAST 20% TIP OR MORE.

$88 for two lobsters, salt and pepper pork chops, and stir fried vegetables. Actually a good deal, as elsewhere one lobster is almost $75

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.

We especially enjoyed some steamed shrimp dumplings, noodle dishes and fried rice. I loved the stuffed eggplant. The restaurant got very busy around noon, but the fast and attentive service stayed consistent. We felt like we got a good price for a vast amount of dishes. We were happy with the experience.

The firecracker salmon spring rolls were a little different than the typical spring rolls we're used to seeing, thinner and more delicate, but still incredibly flavorful and delicious.
