I ordered Kung Pao Chicken this time​. Usually the portions can be 2 small meals for me but not this time. I was full but it was too good to quit so I just demolished it. lol It was my first time ordering this particular dish from this restaurant wont be the last. The veggies were cooked perfectly- still crisp and flavorful. The chicken was in good sized pieces. Peanuts also still had great texture (not over cooked), flavor, and bright color. The "heat" was more of a tickle than a warming tingle which was great for me. Will order again. read more

See all

The food was really good--definitely my go-to spot for comforting meals. I usually wait about 20 minutes, but it's always worth it!

I normally don't rate carryouts because I find service and food quality can be so hit or miss depending on many factors. But, over the weekend, I was in the Fairlawn area of Bowie and decided to grab some Chinese food before I took the drive back across the bridge to Arlington. For some reason, the carryout food in PG County and DC seems to hit just a bit different/better than those in NOVA. Three of the four stars for this visit to Top China 88 are being given because of the excellent customer service I received. My Cousin cannot tolerate gluten but is always craving a steak and cheese sub. So, I requested a deconstructed steak and cheese. What is that you may ask. It is all the fixings of the steak and cheese sandwich over rice no bun and no cheese. So, basically the steak meat with sautéed peppers, onions and mushrooms. It was a hit and I will be coming back to order again. I also ordered some Singapore Mei Fun noodles. They were good also. As for ambience, I really can't say much. It's your typical carryout setup. But, if you opt to do so, you can eat in. It might even be a good spot to catch up with a friend that lives in the area or a date night with your better half if nobody feels like cooking. Happy Eating! read more

Top China 88 - This is my "Deconstructed Steak & Cheese Sub". It taste waaaaay better than it looks. Trust me. - Chinese Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

What an incredible carryout experience! The food was super fresh and bursting with flavor. I don't get carryout often, so I can't compare prices, but it felt worth it! The service was friendly, and my order arrived quickly. I can't wait to dive back in and enjoy more! read more

Food order on March 15 was a very disappointing experience. My order was incorrect as my special request of no pork was ignored. I ordered a shrimp roll but received spring rolls instead. The food also did not taste fresh. The broccoli in my Hunan shrimp was overcooked and the dish tasted reheated. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I will not be ordering again. read more

The food is good. The cashier taking orders was not pleasant. And she was smacking gum while taking orders. Which I think is rude. No big deal but they automatically charge for bags. read more

The service manager is horrible. I ordered shrimp fried rice but what I received was clumpy white rice with a few shrimp. It was thrown together as if the cook was preparing my dish for the garbage. I live in the Fairwood community and I refuse to patronize a business that refuses to give you a refund! I will take my business to another restaurant in our community that treats their customers with respect. The owner is rude, and doesn't care what he delivers to his patrons! read more

Still a nice convenient place. Simple and clean. Good food and quick service. I'm happy to have a decent good old fashion Chinese place in the area. read more

Top China 88 - I just love Peacocks - Chinese Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

Ordered 3 wings with fried rice and mumbo sauce, steak and cheese egg roll, General Tso shrimp, and strawberry lemonade. The chicken was fried well but the mumbo tasted like the sweet and sour sauce which was a nasty and disappointing. I was able to darken it up that allowed the chicken to be more flavorful. The egg roll was ok but not enough filling. With the sriracha and mayo sauce, the roll was decent. The General Tso was ok just too bready and the strawberry lemonade tasted like a diet drink. Merry Christmas are you ready. Fault read more

Very unprofessional and rude. I ordered food at a8:45 pm he was very rude a d short when taking my order. He told me my order would be ready in 15 mins. I arrived in 15 minutes and they were closed. I drove a 10 miles to get here and simple customer service would be to call me or say you're closing. read more

Traveling through the area and had a taste for Chinese food. Mistake. Egg foo yung was watery with no taste at all. Fried rice was nothing to really desire. Below average food. Skimping on the seasonings. Disappointed. Service was fine for pickup. Just picking up and place was empty and quiet and a simple small eat in set up seemed fine. Not recommended unless u have no other options. read more

I've been ordering front this place the past month maybe once every week. I've ordered chicken and broccoli, chicken lo mein, beef and broccoli, Szechuan beef, cheesesteak egg roll and hot and sour soup. The food is super fresh especially the veggies (I LOVE veggies), the taste is great and you get your moneys worth. Only thing I didn't like was the cheesesteak egg roll because it wasn't what I had before they use ground beef and it was barely any in there. They get a solid 4.5 stars from me! Also the lady at the register is always pleasant! read more

Don't judge! Top China isn't a fancy place by any stretch of the imagination BUT it is pretty good and definitely a cheap eat. Today I got Shrimp Lo Mein from off the lunch menu for under $6.50. Inside were soft noodles with plump shrimp, crunchy Napa cabbage cooked in a lovely garlicky sauce. I wasn't expecting the side of fried rice but it was pipping hot and while I would not give it a top notch rating, it wasn't bad. The portion were generous for lunch. In fact, there was so much I had enough for side dishes to salmon dinner. In a hurry? low on funds? Check em out! read more

Top China 88 - Lunch Portion of Shrimp Lo Mein and a side of fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

Pretty darn tasty Chinese and Hibachi food served up here on a daily basis. Top China 88 is your typical take-out spot, minus the thick bulletproof glass in front of the registers. (SN: Stop patronizing establishments that serve you behind bulletproof glass, they don't respect you, nor your money...IJS) The establishment itself is clean, prices are reasonable (especially the M-F lunch specials), you can either call in your order and expect it to be ready upon entry, or you can order it upon arrival and the turnaround time is rather quick. You can either dine inside or take your food home, so I opted for the later. Even though I live close, my food was still piping hot when I arrived home and the portion size was plentiful. My meal wasn't greasy, but I did realize that when I got home that I didn't get soy sauce. I guess if you don't ask, you don't receive. All and all, I was impressed. Since my favorite carry-out went out of business a few years ago, I've been in search of one that's comparable, this is pretty close. read more

Pretty good vegetable Lo Mein, spring rolls and shrimp toast. I haven't ordered anything else.

Food is ready when they say. Service each of the three times I have been has been friendly enough. Never rude. We had the cheesesteak egg rolls, veggie lo mein, veggie fried rice, Mongolian beef, and steak hibachi. My son was the only one who had the hibachi. He's a teenager and said it was good. I personally can vouch for the Cheesesteak egg rolls, veggie lo mein, veggie fried rice, and Mongolian beer. One time the cheesesteak egg rolls were a little thick on the wrapper though. Otherwise no complaints. Portion size was decent. Veggies were fresh and my food wasn't salty or greasy. I will note that my daughter did say on a separate occasion she ordered the generals tso's and did not care for it. I didn't taste it. I live in Upper Marlboro and drive here for my Chinese food. Let that say the rest. read more

Delicious when I have sore throat I gotta have chicken & rice plus green onion vegetables w/ fried rice 10/19 no pictures all gone Polite on phone Covid protocol Thanks yelp read more

Food is fresh and not over cooked. Shrimp is always fresh. Service is good. Location is convenient

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL. I ordered 15 wings and they only gave me a half container of french fries. They didn't even give me a full container of french fries. Neither ro you get a drink included and my order was over $32. This place is a rip off and the food is very nasty. DO NOT GO HERE...... read more

Ordered a schmorgagborg of food for a chill poolside Father's Day lunch. No pics were taken, but everything was a hit. Flavors were fresh and the quality was impressive. Plates, silverware, chopsticks, all the sauces. We had combo lo mein, chicken lo mein, human shrimp, shrimp and broccoli, egg rolls, and spring rolls. Everyone enjoyed, even the kids! Thanks, Top China! read more

I've recently moved to the area and was in need of some Shrimp Mei Fun and a good Shrimp Egg Foo Young Gravy (both of which are not so easy to come by). I did a Yelp search and Top China came up as a place that was close and good so I had to give it a try. The service was good the lady taking my order over the phone didn't cut me off or make me feel rushed (sorry that's how I feel sometimes when I order Chinese), and the food was acceptable to my families Chinese standards (we like our food to taste fresh). They do not deliver which was ok because I was already out. The food was ready pretty quickly and it was nice and hot when we got home. Recommended Foods: Shrimp Egg Foo Young Shrimp Mei Fun Shrimp Egg Rolls (OK...so I guess you see the trend here!) Shrimp Toast Oh Wait....My carnivore children had the.. General Tso's Chicken Orange Chicken Beef & Broccoli We have no complaints, the food, service and quality was good to us. Hope you get the same experience. read more

I can summarize my takeout experience from this establishment in one word: subpar. **sigh** I had a craving for Chinese food this past Saturday night, and Top China wasn't too far away, so I decided to place a pick up order. I ordered the Singapore noodles, General Tsos chicken with fried rice, and an egg roll, which was about $19 total. Ok, not bad. About 10-15 minutes later we went to pick up the food. The establishment is in the shopping center at Fairwood. Our food was ready when we got there, the cashier was nice, and the place was brightly lit and clean. I want to be sure to mention all the positives, first. It's why this review has two stars and not one. However, when we sat down to eat the food, it was NOT GOOD. The Singapore noodles had a weird spice on it and it smelled different. Having had Singapore noodles many times I thought that was weird but continued to eat and give the food a chance. The egg roll was... weird tasting. Like we were confused. What was supposed to be veggies tasted somewhat like chicken... and not in a good way. :-/ Lastly, the General Tsos chicken was ok, but bland. We were so turned off by the food, we tried to eat one plate and threw the rest away. For context, as a general rule our household doesn't throw food out. Be advised, if you're looking for tasty food, this spot is not it. Maybe we caught them on a bad night, but that said, I won't be trying their food again. read more

This place has yet to let me down. This food is always hot and the service is always very welcoming. I normally get the Sweet and Sour Chicken but as of late there Chicken Cheese Steak combo hits on everything. read more

This is the hubby n I favorite place to get some good Chinese food. They never disappoint and always great customer service.

Great food. One of my favorite places to eat when I want Chinese food. Shrimp and broccoli is my favorite dish.

Top China 88 was scrumptious! We had a late night hankering for some wings and chicken and broccoli, and Top China 88 DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The wings were fried nice and hard, the fries were crispy and the chicken and broccoli was on point. And guess what? It was all piping hot when I got to my destination, which was only 7mins away.. But still.. It was piping HOT when we got back! That's a PLUS! The fellas were satisfied with their wings and I was made complete with my chicken and broccoli. All I can say is, Thank you Top China!! Y'all made my night! Sorry, I forgot to take a pic... We were hungry .. I got y'all on the next review. read more

ALMOST DECENT at best, don't have high expectations. Also, expect not to have any paid for food request honored (ppl with food allergies beware!) They are just another Asian business centering themselves in a black community for profit. read more

Best fried wings and mumbo sauce in PG County. Most authentic taste compared to my childhood days. I cannot vouch for any other items but they got the wings down packed. They are always fried well done and are crispy. read more

After seeing the good reviews I decided to try the Top China restaurant for carry out. I ordered sheyond chicken and General tse chicken. I did not recognise the General Tse chicken because it was loaded with a lot of vegetables, chunks of dark chicken, with some nuts sprinkled on it. Didn't see or taste any pepper that is usually on this dish since it is supposed to be spicy. The other dish also had chunks of vegetables and was not appetising. Actually, both dishes looked familiar with very similar vegetables piled on. Either I ordered the wrong dishes that they are not familiar with .....or they just make up dishes. read more

Very good Chinese cuisine here. Haven't had any issues. Prices seem fair. Good atmosphere!

Food is always good and staff is awesome! Don't listen to the negative reviews. I've been eating here for years and will continue too.

Worst Chinese food I've had in a very long time. Almost $100 worth of food. The beef and broccoli was not in a sauce, it was in a GEL! Ordered chicken teriyaki...the 4 sticks they sent me had been dunked and fried several times...went straight to the trash...jerky would have been softer than the teriyaki! First and last time buying from them! read more

Great food, hot and fresh. The yum-yum sauce is da bomb and yes you will have to pay extra but it's worth it! So are the egg rolls. The prices aren't bad either read more

The food was very greasy and had an awful taste - yuck. I do not recommend this place. A total waste of money.

Ordered the lunch hibachi and it was gross! Not like it use to be. I asked them to double cook my shrimp and scallops and they didnt so they were extra soft and slimy almost. Rice is weird yellow not brown like fried rice usually is. Shrimp in garlic sauce was also nasty. Shrimp was tough and fleshly like! LOL Y'all know I'm sensitive about my ingredients! Lunch special orange chicken, steak n cheese egg roll and half/half was ok! Half and half tasted like they used good ole ice cold sink water like at yo Auntie house back in the day! read more

Went to Top China 88 after church and we were pleasantly surprised...the food was great with good sized portions...The part that was the surprise was the fact that they still honored the lunchtime menu/prices even on a weekend...truly not the norm. Also the guy at the register even warned my daughter about the size of the dinner portions vice lunch when she tried to order it (dinner portion), which accomplished 2 things...one, stopped her from wasting food and two, showed us that he was more concerned about his customers than the revenue...we will definitely be back!! read more

Great veggies and fried rice.. only thinks I don't like about them are the spring rolls.

Good pickup spot. Chinese is blah so I only go for the hibachi which is a good portion especially for the price.

I never really write reviews but I had to write one this time because I rarely, if ever, have had a bad experience with Chinese food. Tonight was just that. Our Singapore noodles had a smell & a spice that was off and I've had Singapore noodles from a number of different spots. It's one of my favorite dishes so I knew the taste wasn't what I was used to either. My wife and I had General Tso chicken as well and it wasn't the best. We tossed the rest out after our first plate. Very disappointed. I guess I'll be scouring for another Chinese spot in Bowie. read more

Top Notch service and great food. Prior to Covid I would come here a lot and always enjoy myself. Great dining space that is very clean and well kept. I'm so happy that they reopened and are back at it with the same great service and the same great food. I'll always come in for my Steamed Dumplings and egg rolls. Thank you. read more
