    Black milk Bubble Tea
    Victoria E.

    I decided to pop by to pick up dinner on my way home. I tried entering from the back but it's closed, likely because they closed the dining area. It's just a takeout place it seems. Upon entering, the menus are laid out for you to go over at the counter. Unfortunately the prices are not on the menu and the prices I saw on their online menu are not updated. There's a 5% discount if you pay with cash. I ordered and was told the food would be ready in 15-20 minutes, but I think it was done a lot sooner. The sauces and utensils are on the side beside the counter. I ordered the Szechuan Beef, combination fried rice and black boba milk tea. The food was good but ordinary, like any other Chinese spot. The Szechuan beef dish came with more onion, carrots and green pepper than it did the actual meat; also, it wasn't spicy at all. There's a chili pepper next to it on the menu to indicate that there's some spiciness there but it's ok, I'll just let them know to make it spicier next time. As a boba fanatic, I ordered the boba because any time I see it somewhere, I have to get it. The tea they used tasted like authentic Chinese tea so it was pretty good! Boba texture was also good, but the boba side was small so it definitely could've been a choking hazard. Overall the tea was good but a bit too sweet for my liking.

    Beef and Beef With Broccoli

    Ordered a large of beef & broccoli, paid 15 bucks for this small container (looks like a lunch special), and it was not even full. There is more broccoli than beef, taste just okay, price is not justified with portion size.

    Loved their chicken fried rice. It was perfectly hot without burning your mouth and tasted so good. It wasn't salty or bland. The honeydew bubble tea I got was a bit too sweet, and when I finished drinking the tea, there was a residual substance at the bottom all over the pearls. I think it's the powder mixed together with the tea, but in a more solid form. It was a bit phlegm-y in texture. Sorry for the graphics. It was not a pleasant texture when I consumed a part of it. The pearls were ok. Slightly firmer than I'd like but it's consumable. This cafe is located across the Japanese restaurant.

    If you are craving some good tasting Chinese food, I highly recommend this place!!! We always order take out here and it never disappoints.

Happy to see his nood soup still killing it and winning awards. Order the #1. Add some chili oil. Try a side or two. That's all you need. I personally like noodles, my kid loves belt style, my wide loves knife cut. They do it all and don't miss on flavor.

    We were invited to lunch with a friend who took us to Chopin Noodle House. Interesting concept,…read morebut forget about the piano and the music - the food is fantastic on its own. I got the Scallion Oil Noodles - chewy, hand pulled noodles in a smooth oil dressing. Pair it with the chili oil kimchi for a nice contrasting crunch. My favorite, however, was the Tofu with Century Egg Salad - a small bowl with cubes of soft tofu and quartered century egg and chili oil. Lots of textures and tastes thrown into a tiny little bowl. Be careful - as proof that this place is authentic, their "vegan" vegetable tofu noodle soup is served in beef broth. But once you hammer out the details of the ingredients, the taste is worthwhile. Plenty of others feel the same way - we arrived when they just opened for the day, so we got a seat, but by the time we left, there was a line out the door. If you haven't tried Chopin Noodle House yet, you're missing out!

But I gotta say, my all time favorite dish is the cucumber salad. OMG I could eat it all day everyday. It is just so perfectly seasoned, spicy, refreshing, ugh I loveeee it. The hand pulled noodles are always so good. We've had the noodle soup which is also so good. Literally everything they make is good And besides Bobs Shanghai, I am certain these are the best xiaolongbao I've had in MOCO! They are BIG, juicy, soupy, meaty and so yummy. I don't like that they always forget to give us the vinegar sauce but we ask for it anyways. Highly recommend!!

    The pork buns alone are worth the order…read more Got this delivered via Uber Eats and honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm glad I took the chance. Ordered the beef combo knife slice noodle soup, pork soup dumplings, pork wontons with homemade spicy sauce, and the pan fried pork buns. The pan fried pork buns were the clear MVP here, perfectly crispy on the outside with that satisfying crunch, but soft and fluffy inside. Super filling too, which is always a win in my book. The beef noodle soup was solid comfort food with good portions, and the dumplings hit the spot. Only minor thing - I wished the "spicy sauce" had more kick to it. Could've used some extra heat, but that's me being picky. For the price and portion sizes, this place delivers (pun intended). You're getting a solid amount of food that actually tastes good. Would definitely order again, and those pork buns are going to be a repeat item for sure.

    Ruta Ukrainian Restaurant…read more What a lovely introduction to Ukrainian food. We began with their appetizers and it was uphill all the way. Not only is their food prepared to delight but each dish was visually appealing that elevated our whole experience. I would recommend arriving for an early dinner and making reservations. There is metered parking on the road or paid parking structures not too far away. The restaurant is cozy with a welcoming atmosphere. Well appointed tables and an important part...comfortable chairs. Splashes of color and decor reminded us of their proud Ukrainian heritage. Service from the staff was well coordinated, friendly and never intrusive. I felt I was being fed a family's long standing recipes of traditional specialties. The condiments, creamed sauces or microgreenery complimented each individual dish. Even a simple dinner roll was elavated by its absorption of garlic oils and a house made spread. We tried the Varenyky dumplings with sauerkraut filling and one with short ribs. The Deruny (potato pancakes) were delicious layered with sour cream and a portion of a tasty mushroom mixture. Some items are marked gluten free or vegetarian. Our main entrees were Banosh with pieces of bacon, goat cheese with a polenta cake, the other Banosh Vegetarian also came with a Ukrainian polenta cake, a Mushroom Mixture and goat cheese. My daughter tried the Chicken Kyiv with mashed potatoes which was also very delicious. This memorable meals was complete with their award winning honey cake, moist layers of cake and creamed filling that is now one of my favorite desserts. Not overly sweet and large enough to share with the 3 of us. My only regret is that they are located in Bethesda, if a store opened in Columbia, I would gladly become a regular. I'll just need to make a special trip here again to try more of their selections. Highly recommended for all age.

The spicing in it reminded me of kebab style spice. I also envisioned only pumpkin in it but it had other diced peppers/ veggies in it. The dough wasn't my favorite but was decent and that filling was so delicious. The dumpling's hot temperature was so comforting on a cold night. The spice sauce that came with the dumplings was delicious and spicy. It was like a chinese chili crisp sauce but with vinegar/ citrus flavor in it. I got teared up a tad from the spice sauce, it had good spice! I also tried the eggplant salad which came with hot fried eggplant in a soy-olive oil- ginger-garlic sauce with scallions, tomatoes, and cilantro A little salty/ heavy on soy sauce but really interesting and delicious regardless. I enjoyed looking at the Uyghur art and decor at the restaurant. This was one of my two first times trying Uyghur food. The other was at Dolan Uyghur in DC where I had laghman noodles and Korma Chop. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

The restaurant felt very authentic and cozy with all the Uyghur decor. I ended up ordering for take-out. I realized that the Maryland and DC locations have way more options than the VA. My absolute favorite thing is the Eggplant Salad. It comes with a lot of herbs, and reminds me of an adobo flavor (soy sauce + vinegar)! I also really liked the Samsa (beef & onion puff pastry bun). Everything was quite flavorful and filling! We also tried two hand-pulled noodle dishes: Gam Bian Soman (soy sauce and sesame based) and Laghman (tomato based). Both were surprisingly on the blander side, but the noodles itself were perfect cooked. I do like how not oily they were!
