The best Chinese restaurant I know of outside of New York City! Every dish tastes distinct and flavorful. Parking can be a challenge but it is worth the effort. Flawless take out. Interior very tasteful and clean. Friendly and attentive service. The tea is freshly brewed! This is a wonderful requirement of all great Chinese restaurants. A teabag is not acceptable here. Sadly I learned today the restaurant is closing permanently after many decades. This is a huge loss. There is no alternate to be sure. Thanks so much for so many years of outstanding food. You will be missed for many reasons! read more

This place is like the OG Taiwanese places that use to be in Rockville. String beans and infused fish filet was good. Pipa portion was a little on the smaller side. Hainan chix was good with the sauces. Pork dishes were some of the best around as well. And for $14.95 u get 2 entree items and a soup for lunch. Service was fast since we were the only table there at 1pm for a Friday lunch. Place was clean. read more

Another lovely experience. Service is pleasant. The food is good. Usually order Hannan chicken and dry hot pot with fish fillet. One new dish we tried was the fish fillet in garlic chilli wine sauce. This has a nice flavor served on a hot platter garnished with broccoli on the sides. The dry hot pot was delicious as usual, with the hint of brown bean sauce and a tip of heat. The Hainan chicken took a bit longer to be served, but read more

We were in the mood for Chinese food and stopped by Wang Dynasty. Everything was yummy and flavorful. Spicy Wonton: Sauce was a little sweet and not too spicy. Fish Dry Hot Pot Style: Prepared traditionally with Sichuan peppercorn and soft fish. Walnut Shrimp: Light coating of mayo sauce on the shrimp. read more

We were craving for Hainan chicken while in Bethesda and found this place highly recommended on Yelp. Tried it and we were the only customers around 5PM. My husband and I ordered the Hainan chicken since we were both craving it and regretted it after wards. The chicken needs more salt and flavor. The ginger sauce that came with it didn't have oil which in my opinion would have made the dish so much better. We ordered beef noodle soup to give it another try but it also lack some umami. We added xiao long bao for my son but he just ate one. The grandpa that was sitting in the counter kept looking at us so we couldn't enjoy our foods. All in all we decided that this was a one and done deal for us. read more

My sister brought me here for dim sum. We got here at 1:30 (they stopped dim sum at 2 pm). We really wanted the jumbo fried noodle, baked sesame roll, and sweet soy milk. They delivered 110%. AMAZING! LOVE LOVE LOVE! We event ordered an extra soy milk to go. Next, the turnip cake. Delicious. Perfectly pan fried. It's firm and not mushy. Cucumber in hot sauce. Nice flavor, crispy, but not spicy enough. Still good. Mustard green with soy bean- loved this dish. Also ordered an additional serving to go. Lastly the Tawiwanese Minced Pork over rice- great flavor and good portion. Overall great service and great food. Looking forward to our next visit to this restaurant. read more

We had another wonderful family dinner at Wang Dynasty tonight - when we learned the owners will be retiring at the end of this week. We will miss them and their delicious food, and we wish them all the best in the years to come. read more

This place is pretty good! I came on a sunday evening. We were a party of three. The decor reminded me of my parents' living room so that was promising. For apps i got the tofu with hot oil and the soup dumplings. I liked the tofu; soup dumplings were whatever--def not something to come out for but fine. We got the 香辣 dry pot fish, the dry pot beef, and the sichuan beef noodle soup. The dry pot was pretty good and i like the beef noodle soup too. Food came out very hot which i like. The staff were all very friendly and nice. FYI they close at 8:30pm on sunday. We were one of the last two tables so felt like we needed to leave so they could close up. read more

Unfortunately, the term spicy or hot is a foreign term to them. A dish labeled spicy on the menu, with an added request for spicy, results in barely a trace of spice. If you like your food spicy, go somewhere else. This was carry-out, so: no comment on service or ambiance. read more

Hmmm I can't say I was particularly pleased with my experience here but I also was not disappointed. Neutral I guess. The chicken fried rice was pretty standard but a good baseline for the meal. The spicy wontons could have used a touch more of the sauce because they were pretty bland without it. The crab rangoon had literally no crab in it, basically just fried cream cheese. I love a good Szechuan style green beans and thee definitely held up to some of the best that I have had in the area-- this was definitely my favorite thing that I ordered. I got the spicy pepper chicken because it was on the chef's special part of the menu and I was curious to see what it tasted like. It had a nice crunch and definitely packed a punch. The pieces of chicken were a little smaller than I would have liked but it was still enjoyable. Not sure if I would come back here because of all of the Chinese options in the area, but it was definitely a decent meal. read more

First time trying it. Not bad at all, wait times are minimal, however the white ( RICE ) portion size was small for a " entree ". However, they complimented it with a free White Rice. I would return and dine in for sure! read more

My husband and I stopped by Wang Dynasty for lunch a week or so ago after doing some shopping at Bethesda Row. Since we were there at lunch/brunch time, we ordered from the brunch dim sum menu. We had the Taiwanese minced pork on rice, chive pocket, noodle with hot sauce, smoked fish, braised beef, pan fried pork bun, and red bean bun. My favorites were definitely the Taiwanese minced pork on rice and the smoked fish. I'd eat those again right now. Overall, the food was very good. The service was great, and the restaurant was traditional and homey. As of October 2021, they are requiring proof of vaccination for inside dining. I'd happily return for another meal. read more

I always consider the service first before anything else because...it's the only thing that you have to go on before you even sit down! I am not afraid to walk out of a place if I do not feel welcome. The front staff at Wang Dynasty was welcoming and the service attendants were always quick, attentive and responsive. In this day when wait staff jobs are hard to fill, it's great to find "outliers" like this. Next, the food. Any dry pot dish is generally one of my barometers and will allow you to gauge the attentiveness of the chef. This dish generally contains a lot of different spices and getting the blend right can be tricky...Wang Dynasty achieved this perfectly! Plus, the amount of heat in the dish was just enough to satisfy those folks that like dry pot. Try it here and you won't be disappointed!! I also like the organization of the menu which allows you to sample different styles of traditional Chinese/continent cooking approaches such as "Kung Pao style", "Mongolian style", "Double Cooked style", etc... Many restaurants of this type of cooking often forego the addition of a bar...the bar at Wang Dynasty was a very nice surprise! You can satisfy a range of tastes from a simple beer to top shelf cocktail. Lastly, the atmosphere was wonderful as well...there was enough space between tables to feel isolated and share a "private" meal with your party. The place is considerably larger inside than what appears outside. I really enjoyed the meal and the experience here! read more

When you have a friend who knows many of the Chinese restaurant owners in the area, you get a bit of history with your meal. So this place has partnered with another Shanghainese restaurant in Gaithersburg. That place is famous for its Eight Treasure Duck which is a whole duck stuffed with sticky rice, Chinese sausage, and nuts wrapped in a lotus leaf. It is such a specialized dish that you are required to order it one day in advance. The dish is enough to serve 8 to 10 adults. And be prepared to pay $45 for it. But I promise, it is worth it! Friends came together to celebrate Chinese New Year. We had nine adults and four small children all under 3 years of age. The restaurant was accommodating and there were several large tables for this small place in Bethesda. We were able to fit everyone at the table. Dishes seemed small in quantity (except for the duck dish mentioned above). We ordered the minced beef with egg white soup as a appetizer for the children. It was good but not something I would order at a Chinese restaurant. I would go straight for the good stuff. We got the snow cabbage & pork rice cake. The rice cake are diced spheres with slices of pork. It was good. For some, the rice cake might seem dense for a noodle dish but they're supposed to be that way. Our other dishes were shredded pork with chive flowers and bean curd sheet, halibut fish filet with garlic white wine sauce, and the house special fried rice. No complaints on any of the dishes. And for our vegetable dish, you can't go wrong with spinach sauteed in garlic. Fresh baby spinach was great. The restaurant was also kind enough to give our table a cold small dish of edamame with mustard greens as an appetizer. For dessert we got a very traditional item that I have never tried before -- a warm taro with red bean paste on the inside. I do like taro especially as one of the dim sum items but I'm afraid this dessert was not to my liking. Our entire table seemed to really like it so that's great. I don't mind being the odd ball out. Parking: It's Bethesda. Parking is not easy unless you're at a location right by a garage. There is extremely limited parking right outside of the restaurant. Service: Friendly and attentive. read more

I've heard nothing but great things about this place so I recommended it to my coworkers and we went over for lunch. There were 5 of us total and 3 of us, including me, decided to do the lunch special. The special is 2 dishes + soup for $9.95. I ordered the kung pao chicken + hunan beef with a side of hot & sour soup (see photos). From here nothing but chaos ensued as one of my coworkers who ordered hainan chicken was brought hunan chicken. We also ordered the dry hot pot entree and upon the first bite we discovered that the kitchen might have spilled an entire bottle of salt on the dish. Since we already had the slip up with the hainan vs. hunan chicken we opted out of sending the hot pot back. For what it's worth the lunch special dishes came out fine and tasted okay but it's really hard to mess up a staple dish like that. When it came time for the check we were charged $1 extra for brown rice which we never got. We were also charged an extra $2 ($11.95 vs. $13.95). Not sure what happened there but we had to consult the menu to explain the wrong price. During the confusion of the bill the owner walked up to us and we decided now was the time to tell him about the EXTREMELY salty beef hot pot. Rather than take it off the bill he said "the next time you come in I'll give you a free one". Honestly, coming back is going to be a hard sale for me. TL;DR: Stick to something safe like kung pao or orange chicken or prepare to be disappointed. Also, double check your bill. read more

This is great addition to downtown Bethesda. First impression is very very good. It is tastefully decorated. Food is great. We ordered from the lunch menu and a pork chop noodle soup. The pork chop is outstanding. Service is good. The menu has many authentic Chinese dishes and dim sum for weekends. We certainly will come back to try out other dishes. Parking: There aren't too many parking spaces in front of the restaurant. Metered parking is available across the street. There is a Montgomery county parking garage nearby with very reasonable parking rates (free on weekends). It is Garage 57 - Bethesda - Elm Garage with entrances on Bethesda Avenue and Elm Street. read more

I saw in another review where one said Rockville's loss is Bethesda's gain, and I must agree; I was SO sad to see them leave Rockville!! However, I do want to congratulate them on this lovely new restaurant. They are located conveniently next to Giant and are only a 10-min walk away from Bethesda Metro station (kind of south west of the station). When you walk inside, they already provide a nicely warm setting with family vibes, and they will make sure that you are comfortable and are enjoying your food. I got to come here with two of my girlfriends, and it was hard for me to choose since they have so many good looking options! We ended up ordering spicy wontons, minced pork with sesame paste noodles, and I think taiwan style sliced chicken. Out of these three items, I really enjoyed the spicy wontons and taiwan style sliced chicken. I love the level of spiciness in these two dishes. I personally love spicy food, but if you cannot handle spicy foods, this might not be for you. The waiter also did a good job tending to our table and keeping my water filled. We did come on a Monday night, so it wasn't as busy, and it was pleasant! Overall, they have a lot of lovely authentic dishes that are worth coming back again to try. :) read more

Ok we tried out Wang because we heard such great things. The food was impeccable, honesty. It's some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. We had the half duck (fried), shrimp lo mein, and pork fried rice. The rice and lo mein came out about ten minutes before the duck did, which was kinda frustrating. I wish someone had told us that because it was getting cold so we started eating the side dishes in a bit of confusion. The only downside about here is the service. The servers and owners(?) seem pretty overwhelmed. There's no actual logic to how they serve. We had about 3 different people come to our table for various things so we didn't have one server. We had a bit of a wait, no one refilled our drinks, and no one communicated anything about the food or checked on us. So that was a bit of a downside. read more

Pretty good Chinese food! We ordered three appetizers and three entrees... The crab appetizer was the only one that didn't get good-to-excellent reviews from us... All the rest --and fortunes-- were "well above average" and got comments while we were eating. My wonton soup was pretty darn good...! Fresh tasting, with soft and subtle flavors. Really good soup is worth complementing. I also found the Mongolian Style Pork to be well prepared and just a notch below "delicious" -- very good. Others liked their Kung Lao Chicken and beef Lo Mein ("delicious!")... Will be back for more! read more

A step above! Great food, large portions, terrific service. Open since May, and about a block up from Bethesda Row, this place raises the bar for the neighborhood Restaurant is clean, looks fancy, with reasonable prices. Lunch special is choose two common and special Chinese dishes. Yes they have General Tso's chicken, and Szechuan meatballs, and crispy beef. Lots of choices. Hot and sour soup was very spicy, flavorful and addicting. This is a great place to bring coworkers, have great food and get some work done. Looking forward to returning. read more

I wish you could give 1/2 stars but since you can't I'm giving WD 5 stars. Their food is very good and a little pricey but you realize why when you taste the meat dishes. They use a much higher quality meat than any other place I have been to in Bethesda. I don't like their dumplings or spring rolls. The dumplings are small and not that tasty while the spring rolls don't have enough inside so the taste is of the wrapper which is greasy. read more

Drunken noodles and vegetable spring rolls were fantastic! Order ready early for pickup, and gave me extra rice and sauce, I will be returning! read more

Very doughy wontons in the wonton soup. Not to my taste. I think there was tofu in the twice cooked pork we ordered. Not sure about that, but the texture didn't seem like pork. Enjoyed the kung pow shrimp. Not my fave Chinese restaurant, but not the worst either, & it's convenient to where we live. Maybe damned by faint praise? Call them directly for delivery. read more

Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. Just tried their Hot & Sour soup and it was incredible - even for a wonton lover like me.

Always friendly when I dine in or pick up. read more

Best crispy beef in the area! Excellent service and friendly staff. It's always delicious and we especially like their crab wontons.

Good Mai Tai, great Won Ton soup, huge menu that will inspire many visits. 5 flavor Tofu was good, but all flavors were mixed into one sauce, so hard to distinguish them. read more

First time dining in the establishment as we always do take out. First, in order to dine in, must show proof of vaccination cards. The times we ordered for take out we were pleasantly surprised and was eager to try dine in as it offers a different taste and freshness from wok to table (imo). Every dish was a hit except for the spicy chicken, which was underwhelming and seemed to be all batter and no chicken. The soup dumplings were savory and soupy with a nice texture in the wrap. The strong beans were my favorite especially with an added request to make spicy. The salty soy was warm to cool as it should have been hot but they made it right after we requested some attention or some time in the microwave. Overall, our guests and family (all Taiwanese) really enjoyed the meal. For a Sunday lunch we sat immediately and parking was plentiful. I would say we did have to ask several times for the dumpling sauce, chili oil, water, etc which not a big deal but enough to be iykyk. Overall would recommend and will definitely be back. Enjoy! read more

When I think Bethesda I don't think Chinese food. However, I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This place did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean, the service was great, and our waiter was so kind and always checked in on us. We ordered the drunken noodles and the peking duck. This was plenty for two people! The food tasted so good (see photos!) and was reasonably priced. Since we were in Bethesda I thought it would be more pricey. The only thing that I think could use improvement is using smaller wraps for the Peking duck, as the wraps were a bit large. But it was fine! I can't wait to come back here and try more food! read more

Finally!!! A Chinese restaurant worthy of mention in Bethesda! I secretly hope no one will find this place out since it's new, but I guess I should help the business...sigh. I'm putting a 5 star because this will probably be the best Chinese place you'll find in Bethesda. You know it's a good Chinese restaurant when you walk in and see (and hear) Chinese people seated and gabbling in Chinese. The food here is pretty authentic. They do it really well, and give you generous portions, so the value is well worth it (and I'm all about the value). In 2 times I've been here, I/my friends have ordered: - Chicken Corn (Egg Drop) Soup - Scallion Pancake - Vegetable Dumplings - Hainan Chicken and Rice - another chicken dish that starts with an H - Chicken Fried Rice - Soy Milk with Yao Taio? Idk pinyin sorry I would recommend all of the above. I particularly love Hainan Chicken (I'm Singaporean Chinese after all), and if I'm ever craving it and my mom is not up for making it, I'll definitely be coming here. My other favorites though would have to be the Chicken Corn Soup and the Scallion Pancake. They don't play with the soup, they have a good-sized share-able serving bowl, not like the stingy miso soup ones you are probably used to in Japanese restaurants.The vegetable dumplings were pretty darn good too though. My only wish is that they have more items for their dim sum menu. Then I would come more often! But I'm excited to come here again, when the time comes. read more

The menu has a wide selection of traditional Chinese dishes from Shanghai and Taiwan. The flavors are authentic and tasty. The restaurant is run by an older couple. Service was good. Food came out quickly and the waitress was attentive. The ambience is that of an old style Chinese restaurant. It's dated, but clean and comfortable. It's the kind of place you go for a solid, good meal. This restaurant has good carry out as well. The online ordering app provides an accurate estimate of when the order will he ready. (It's not Panda Express don't expect food to be ready instantly, depending on the complexity of your order, it may take some time. )Carry out containers were solid and neatly packed in a brown paper bag for easy, mess free transport. read more
