    Roast Duck Noodle Soup
    Trinh P.

    Our new find for comforting Cantonese food in the area! We had the roast duck noodle soup, fried tofu with salt and pepper, udon noodles with vegetables and chicken in chicken broth and the ja jain mein noodles! All the dishes were packed with flavor and very enjoyable, our 3 year old slurped down the duck and egg noodles while our 21 month old enjoyed her udon and chicken broth! We've been here twice and everything we ordered has been either good or super delicious. We will definitely be back to try out more entrees.

    Came to Noodle King for a late lunch with friends and had a good meal. We ordered the seafood pan-fried noodles, beef chow fun (dry), beef noodle soup, and chicken wings. The pan-fried noodles were crispy but needed a bit more flavor. The beef chow fun was delicious with great wok hei--definitely a favorite. The beef noodle soup was okay but felt like it was missing something. The chicken wings were crispy, meaty, and tasty. Overall, a solid spot for a casual meal. Would come back!

    Noodle King is another example of that old adage: "you never know where you'll find good food!" A friend mentioned that there was a restaurant located off of New Hampshire Ave in a section of the Colesville/Silver Spring area serving up old skool Cantonese fare. So we decided to pop in and I'm so glad we did. Noodle King shares a small lot with the Hollywood Beer and Wine store and Clips Barber shop, so parking can be tight; be prepared to park along one of the adjacent neighborhood streets. Interesting exterior with a few tables for outdoor dining in the warmer months, and plant and greenery along the wall right before you get to the front door. Upon walking in, the diner is transported to the 1980's with low tables, metal chair, wooden panel chair molding, and formica table tops which have had the veneer worn down from years of cleaning. There is a dining area off the right with a lazy susan in the middle of the table for larger groups. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the food is legit. One of the standard bearers of any good Canto place is the Seafood Fried noodles, or Hosin Chow Mein. Jumbo shrimp, pieces of calamari, tender pieces of fish, scallops, and imitation crab meat was gently tossed in a mild clear sauce and mixed with veggies atop crispy deep fried egg noodles. I dunno if it's as good as the joints I enjoyed as kid growing up in NYC, but for the 'burbs of Montgomery county...it was delish! The wonton noodle soup was uneven. The noodles were boiled properly without being overcooked and had a nice springy texture. But the soup broth was...meh. It tasted more of a generic chicken broth but needed salt and more umami flavor. But the wontons were tasty. They were definitely handmade as indicated by their irregular shapes (unlike some places which use frozen mass produced varieties) and stuffed with shrimp, pork, and veggies. Both dishes were accentuated by using a mixture of the provided table chili oil and soy sauce. Service was efficient and friendly, and the aunties running around the dining room appreciated my brief conversations with them in Cantonese, since that dialect seems to be disappearing from the Chinese language diaspora. Didn't get to sample any of the BBQ meats displayed in the window behind the cash register, but I'll definitely try the next I'm in the area. Noodle King has earned it's 4 star rating!

    This place looks like a hole in the wall, but it's overall clean and the food is awesome. Thank you for all you do for us at noodle King. Rocky

    The only rule we have when visiting our family and friends anywhere near Silver Spring is that we must have at least one meal at Noodle King. It does not matter if we are visiting the friends who live down the block or the family that lives 100 miles away, all that matters is that we will have one of our favorite meals at least once as long as we are close enough to drive. One order of Szechwan String Beans, at least one order of Deep Fried Spicy seafood (fish, calamari or mixed) and whatever else might catch our fancy on that day and we know without a doubt that the remainder of our trip will be filled with memories of these flavors. The good news is that everything else we've tried has also been very good, just not good enough to be what brings us back over and over again. One word of warning for those that order the standard Chinese American dishes - think sweet and sour anything, beef with broccoli, and the like- you might not be as happy as those that order the more traditionally Chinese foods. The French Beef cubes are delightful and are probably as close as you might find to the flavors you seek, but I urge you to try something new and keep your mind and tastebuds open. Noodle king is not fancy. It's a simple restaurant filled with big round tables and not much decoration. It features friendly but efficient service and has a constant stream of people picking up take out orders while you eat. None of this matters if you like the food, and I hope you do!

    Wonton Noodle Soup
    Emily H.

    A fairly small restaurant with large portions that you can split with friends! Stir-Fried Tomato & Beef on a Bed of Rice 7/10 - beef is tender but flavor isn't there for me Stir Fried Pork with Sour Cabbage 7.5/10 Peking Duck 6.5/10 Wonton Noodle Soup 5/10 - very plain and subtle We didn't wait too long for any of our dishes. Overall, the food is okay -- nothing stood out.

    Beef Chow Fun
    Jane J.

    NOODLE KINGGGGGGGGGG This place is so good I'm loathe to share more about it because I don't want it to get too busy. My family has been going for years but in an effort to leave more reviews this year I thought I'd finally share something here. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong. Everything is pretty flavorful. Hearty portions. Very reasonable prices. Tonight we had: Cod: delicious. So flaky and the sauce is superb. U m a m i Pan fried meat dumplings: i am personally a big fan of these thicker doughier chonky dumplings but if you're not into a doughy bite it might not be for you Deep Fried Spicy Salted Calamari: SO GOOD I love calamari already, but this is perfectly salty and spicy . Order this every single time. I just had it and I would eat it again right now. Beef chow fun: i love this dish anywhere, but there is something extra tasty about the gravy here, I can't explain it Tapioca: this was a surprise free dessert only available on weekends. It's so unassuming and isn't much to look at but it's actually very light and pleasant. I would never order it on my own but I'll always eat it if they bring it, you know? It's a definitive hole in the wall - the entrance is facing the parking lot and the back of the restaurant faces the street. It's the kind of place you drive past a hundred times and ignore because it's not much from outside, but you step in and it's almost entirely Asian families so you know they know what they're doing. It's a hidden gem / family establishment through and through. Love this place.

    Absolutely delicious!!!! You will miss this gem if you don't look carefully...you go in through the back...when we walked eyes were on us because it was all Asian customers and they thought we were door dash ! We told them we would like to be seated, they said sit anywhere. We saw some amazing meals coming out the kitchen that I asked the server what somebody else had and that's what I ordered without disappointment!!! Deliciousness is all I can describe it as!!! The wife ordered Singapore noodles which she loved...this is one of the best Asian food spot I've had since coming to md! Give it a try and remember I told you so!!

    There are a couple outdoor tables.

    We had a surprisingly nice late lunch at this little hole in the wall on our way back from zip lining at the sandy spring adventure park nearby. The women who took or order was very nice, and although they couldn't accommodate service at one of their outside tables, she offered to let us do take out and sit there. Our chow fun noodles and tofu with veggies were fresh, hot and tasty. The inside was drab and had a funny smell, but the outside table was

    Spring Roll that comes with the Lunch Special. It was tasty but a tad bit too oily.
    Keisha M.

    Decided to try there lunch specials for the first time and something I never had before there. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken and upgraded the rice to fry rice for an extra $3 charge. It came with a one spring roll which tasted good just a bit too oily. I really wanted to like my order but sadly disappointed. The sweet and sour chicken was heavy breaded. It taste like something anyone could buy in the frozen section of the grocery and make at home themselves. Even the sweet and sour sauce tasted like store brought and was very sparing on the chicken. Greatly lacking in quality and flavor. For these reasons I usually don't order this item as I'm picky and it's had to find restaurants that make a quality and flavorful version that's worth eating. I'm surprised by Noodle King because other dishes I had was just the opposite. See my first review. The fry rice was very basic and I'm still trying to figure out what I paid $3 extra dollars for.... the oil they had to fry it in. No egg nor vegetables was added. Nothing as you can see from the picture. I was quite surprised by this as well since I always order fry rice from there. One of my favorites. Definitely will not be ordering this lunch special item anymore. I'll stick to the reg menu.

    Kung pao chicken - lots of veggies (slightly undercooked), some chicken, minimal spice (and flavor for that matter)

    Came here for lunch with a friend on a weekend. We ate family style and ordered the scallion…read morepancakes, the spicy sesame paste tofu, the spicy oil wonton pork, the chive and pork dumplings and the sesame balls (filled with red bean paste). Total (not including tip) came out to approximately $49. What's Hot - Menu. Excellent. It's also written in Chinese in addition to English. For those of us familiar with traditional ethnic Chinese food, a menu written in Chinese is a good sign. They have traditional Taiwanese and Chinese food like scallion pancakes, sesame balls, beef noodle soup, soup dumplings, etc... Very good variety and there appears to be something for everyone, possibly with the exception of vegan dishes.. - Quality. Pretty good. Their scallion pancake was soft, not too oily, and not too salty. I prefer the scallion pancake to have been a bit more thick and flaky, but that's my personal preference. To be fair, still delicious. Their chive and pork dumplings definitely had a delicious chive flavor. Substantial and the wrapper was not too thick. Their spicy sesame paste tofu had a good flavor and substantive. The chili oil wontons were not too spicy and had a good flavor. Again, my personal preference would have been for the dumplings to have been more substantive, but still pretty decent. - Service. Pretty good. It appears most, if not all their staffers, speak Chinese (Mandarin), which was also helpful, because I specifically ordered in Chinese. I asked them about the spice level, because I wanted to ensure it would not be too spicy for my friend. - Price. Pretty good value for menu and portions. - Location. It's pretty easy to find. Also within convenient walking distance to the Silver Spring metro. The inside space is pretty good. Tables can seat a minimum of 2, all the way up to 8. What's Not - Quality. The sesame balls are smaller than I expected. They're the rough approximation of a ping pong ball, maybe smaller. I was disappointed, because I like sesame balls that are substantial. - Service. I specifically asked for soup spoons, because we were eating dumplings. Instead, they gave me regular spoons. Not all the dishes come out in the order you hope. For example, main dishes may come out before the appetizers. This is going to be dependent on your personal preference. - Parking. There is parking near the restaurant, but it's going to be dependent on the day and time. Final Answer Worth coming back.

You can also order online ahead and pick it up. Super easy. Just go directly to their website. I feel like they do takeout pretty well.

Nothing has stood out as great, but the fried rice, the orange chicken, the dumplings and several of their soups have been good enough for me to order from them again.

    Solid Chinese takeout and carry out food in the downtown Silver Spring area!…read more Did takeout from this restaurant the other for a late lunch and glad I did. The food was prepared fresh and delicious. I ordered a General Tso's Lunch Special and a Sweet n' Sour Soup. All were prepared perfect and tasted excellent. Food was ordered and ready right on time; roughly 10 minutes from the time I walked in and placed the order. Not sure with what the food would look like as this was my first time coming here, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The General Tso's Chicken was still piping hot even after driving back home for about 15 minutes. And, most of all not soggy or mushy!.... something I can't stand when ordering takeout!! The plate and servings were hefty and quite generous. The chicken was a mixed between white and dark meat. It was seasoned just right and so crispy, even after sitting in the container for my drive back home. The General Tso sauce was very tasty as well. My only gripe is that the dish comes with fried rice and I am not sure with what's up with most of the carryouts around the DMV, but a lot of them served this yellow - orangish fried rice that is not the most appealing to me, but I must honestly admit....it was dang good. Lol. I prefer a more wok-charred, brown fried rice over the neon fried rice served here and other places around the DMV. The Hot n' Sour soup gets a thumbs-up and good marks from my end. It was tangy, spicy, and sweet all roll into one. A delicious bowl of tofu, mushrooms, tamarind, and spices that aim to please. In all, Mandarin Restaurant is a solid option when in the Downtown Silver Spring Area and you are looking for something good to eat. The owner was very pleasant and he greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. His wife was very friendly as well and made sure I had all the proper fixings I needed to complete my dish; including my request for extra soy sauce and hot chili oil which complimented and elevated both dishes very well. If it wasn't for the neon orange looking fried rice, I probably would've given this place five stars as a first impression. Also, they could've served more broccoli in the dish than the two pieces that I received Lol -- see pic as receipts. The restaurant itself has limited seating but it appeared to be a popular takeout service with most that came in and patroned the place. A decent winner in my book and will definitely be back to try out other dishes.

None of us were from this area, and we intended to go to the Mayflower Chinese Restaurant, based on Yelp reviews. However, once we walked in the door, it was apparent this place was focused on carryout, and there was no way we were staying to eat in their dingy entrance area. We walked next door to the Meleket Ethiopian restaurant. However, the place was deserted, and we didn't stay there either. We tried the Lime & Cilantro, the next place down, but it was packed and couldn't handle our group. So, we skipped past the verernary clinic and went to Spring Garden.

Once we got our food, we were impressed with the quality and portion sizes. And, through it all, the service was prompt and friendly.
