This is a Chinese mountain garlic
Alex B.

Yes the place Asian Chinese restaurant locate located downtown McLean on elm Street it's a favorite for McLean community and their families and also business associates you know you can have a very affordable lunch under $20 or dinner for family of four $120 bucks. Every time we had a great experience I was there last week with friend of mine swedish American lawyer his wife she's gynecologist and two kids so we we had part of five we taste different kind of Chinese dishes and I know that all the cooks they are Chinese Cooks with a long time experience we do like the place this place has a lot of space easy parking on the street or right in front but of course on the weekend you have to park on the street or Park downstairs in the building and take the elevator there's plenty of parking free parking the building also in macclenny resident for 36 years.

Lunch Special General Tso's Chicken comes with egg roll, rice and a fortune cookie.
Sam C.

For the cost and convenience this place certainly delivers. There is comfortable seating and a clean, larger than average restroom towards the rear. Whatever Muzak they are playing is not annoying either. If you have the time, I recommend eating in as the food comes out hot and fresh. You pay before sitting and it takes less time than most other take out places as this is primarily a take out place.

Veggie Singapore noodles and Bean Curd Home Style
Aarti B.

The Chinese food just doesn't hit the spot. While it was impressive to see vegetarian Singapore noodles on the menu (very rare to find!), they were a miss - bland and greasy. The vermicelli noodles were dripping in sesame oil and sloppily coated in chili paste, overpowered by curry powder and lacking in spices. The Bean Curd Homestyle was a total miss, the veggies were swimming in this clear liquid sauce and made for terrible leftovers. The fried Bean Curd tofu was tough and hard to chew. The food had no flavor. Threw the food down the garbage disposal the next day (and I hate wasting food!). The fried rice was flavorless and didn't taste fresh. Hubby enjoyed General Tso's Chicken. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish?

General Tso's Chicken with rice
Andrew T.

I was waiting for my tires to get fixed at the next door Goodyear store so I went out to get some Chinese food here. I was greeted by the staff and seated quickly. I ordered the typical General Tso's chicken and it was served in 5 minutes! The serving size was really huge for one person that I had to take some home. It came with broccoli and rice. It was seasoned well and I would love to come back again. The place was a great place to relax for lunch and also after work. They have other typical Chinese-American food selections too.

Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables (& my added hot mustard and soy sauce)
Liz R.

I received an Uber Eats gift card and discovered that there were lots of new restaurants I've never tried because they weren't associated with DoorDash, and Wok N Roll was one of them. I'm a creature of habit so I said let me try my go to healthy Chinese food routine (Shrimp and Mixed Veg w/ egg drop soup) and see what Wok N Roll's version delivers. WELL! I was pleasantly surprised as the egg drop soup had a nice surprise of fresh corn kernels in it and the flavor overall was perfect, in addition to the Shrimp w Mixed Veg having a nice addition of Napa cabbage with lots of shrimp and delightfully mild flavor to the sauce. Even the crispy noodles they sent to go with the soup were different than the ones you typically get. I think I may have found a new favorite Chinese takeout spot! OH and the delivery was right on time as promised.

Get the orange chicken lunch special. I know, this pic is really helpful huh?
Dan C.

Wow the orange chicken lunch special is good here. The chicken is cooked korean style (bonchon, kyochon, etc.), and the orange sauce is not overwhelmingly sweet and salty relatively compared to Panda Express. Really amazing and it's a sleeper on the menu. Don't overlook it as it is the go-to dish here, in my opinion. My wife always gets the pepper steak. And the shrimp egg rolls that come with this is perfect (for Sammy!) I've been to this location a few times while going with my wife to her doctor visits for pregnancy. Our little baby Sammy is letting Mommy know he likes it as well! Took a few visits, but this place has won me over. My wife loved it from day one. dmo out

This was our "go to" Chinese takeout place. We typically order the same food each time we go. I was highly disappointed in the fried wontons. I paid $13 for two orders of fried wrappers. It barely stuffing. I literally couldn't taste the pork or any sort of meat. You will see in the pictures what I found when I pulled the wonton apart. What I saw or tasted couldn't be possibly be called stuffing. This was one of our favorite appetizers and have ordered it on numerous occasions. Though the rest of the food (general Tso, triple delight and beef broccoli) we ordered tonight was to its normal quality I couldn't help but feel cheated. It's not the type of business practice I expect from a restaurant that we and the community supported throughout this pandemic. I hope this was a fluke and that I was the only one with skimpy wontons. I honestly don't know if we'll be go back.

Singapore Noodles $9
Donald P.

Can't say I really enjoyed our experience. The food wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. We ordered for delivery and we may have been pushing their 3 mile delivery radius since the delivery guy had no clue where we lived even with the exact address. I had to explain where I lived and how to get here just like pre-GPS days. He came earlier than the estimated time though. When he arrived he told me it was his first time at my building. I tip him generously for the trouble. General Tso Chicken was a monumental disappointment. As you can see, the 12 pieces of chicken was neatly arranged in 3 rows of 4. At $12 this immediately doesn't seem to be such a great value. Then there comes the taste; It was a bit sour and not as sweet as what I'm typically used to. Singapore Noodles - The strong curry and spicy flavors kick you pretty good; however, after shoveling in forks full of this stuff into our mouths, we realize the small shrimp that was used had a completely mushy texture. It was pretty disgusting. Plus the meat used in it also had a funky taste to it. Triple Delight - was not great, but not terrible. Aside from not really tasting like other places, we didn't have anything to complain about like we did with the other dishes. The fried rice was a joke. Just colored rice with tiny specks of scrambled eggs, not even one piece of vegetable. Probably won't order here again but wouldn't necessarily discourage others from trying any of the other dishes.

Both chicken and cauliflower were tasty as well. Then there is the chicken with cashew nuts. I liked this one more than I thought I would. Good flavor. Lastly, wow. The Spicy Sour Fish Filet.

There is plenty of seating that is spacious and well setup, tables are not squished together where you feel as though you have no space to eat. The restaurant is located in a shopping center with many other retailers, so parking is a non issue. I always appreciate good food that is easily accessible without struggling to find parking while out and about with two young kids. We ordered various items from the menu: - Chicken Leg Noodle Soup - My kids loved this. The soup is flavorful and portions are large so perfect to split among two kids. - Pork Soup Dumplings - Solid option, soup broth inside the dumplings was delicious. - Scallion Pancakes - Deliciously fried to perfection. It comes cut into slices, making it easily shareable for the table. - Cucumber with Garlic - Simple dish, but the garlic sauce really makes it memorable. The staff here were great, they were extra mindful of dish placement near my young kids which I really appreciated. All items came out quickly and just as requested. I have visited other locations throughout the DMV and this location was consistent with what I experienced at other locations... friendly staff and delicious food all at a reasonable price. I would definitely come back again if I was in the area :)

The original Rockville location has been quietly earning its reputation, and the McLean outpost…read morecarries the torch without skipping a beat. For a self-proclaimed Chinese food snob, that kind of consistency across locations isn't just appreciated -- it's rare. This is the place I bring family and friends visiting from out of town when I need to guarantee both quality and a good time. No hesitation, no asterisks. That's a short list. The menu hits two lanes perfectly: bold, soul-warming noodle soups and dry noodles loaded with zesty mix-ins that slap just as hard. The flounder with sour pickled cabbage noodle soup is the move if you want something that's simultaneously bright, funky, and deeply comforting. The spicy beef brisket in golden soup is pure richness -- the kind of broth you'd drink straight if no one was watching. On the dry noodle side, the Chongqing dry noodles bring the heat and the complexity you want from that style. Don't sleep on the small eats. The scallion pancakes and soup dumplings are legitimately all-star -- not afterthoughts, not filler. One pro tip: pay attention to the rotating specials once you've locked in your favorites. And you will have favorites. Probably after visit one. Casual setting, family-friendly vibe, top-tier food. Yu Noodle earns a permanent spot on the short list.

This is a short review based on my first (but definitely not last!) visit. Will update in the…read morefuture. Was heading home from airport after a long flight. Was feeling hangry because I had planned on stopping at Hard Times for a bowl of chili -and found out they were closed on Mondays. So, pretty much pulled a name out of a hat and would up at Chuan Tian Xia because, well, Szechuan cooking uses chiles, no? Yesssss! I ordered Signature Dumplings and a bowl of Beijing-style Beijing-style Zhajiang Noodles. The dumplings were outstanding: a mix of shrimp, pork, and chive that were plump, juicy, fragrant with the herbaceous flavor of chives. The accompanying sauce was not too sweet, not too hot, just right as a complement to the dumplings. Yowza. I was a happy camper... ...and then I dug into my noodles. Double yowza! Thick wheat noodles topped with a rich sauce made from (I think) fermented soybean paste and braised pork belly, garnished with cucumbers. The portion was way to big for me to eat after my flight, but I really, really enjoyed it (and the remaining dumplings) for lunch today. Did I say yowza? I'm an adventurous eater so the menu's less Americanized items were what I would have ordered given more time (like Maoxuewang: can you say "pig's tongue, spam, pork intestine, and beef tripe"? Protein is protein, baby!). Just means I need to come back, and I will, as quickly as I can.

This seems like a brand new opened spot that I wanted to try but when I asked my waiter he said…read morethey've been open for about 3 years. I got in there and the place was empty and I had to practically yell "excuse me" and someone came out to seat us. The old restaurant was a personal Hotpot place and the new restaurant didnt change the tables or the plates or practically anything so I was a little confused. We ordered and the waiter was super nice and helpful. He suggested good dishes to try and explained that each dish you order comes with a bowl of rice. When the food cane out we were shocked by the portion size. It was way bigger than we were expecting. The flavor of the food was good but a little messy. One dish we ordered was a little bland and the other 2 were pretty salty if not eaten with rice. The fish was not as crispy on the outside as I thought it would be but the inside was super tender and cooked very well. The color wasnt right but the flavor was there. It could've used a little more seasoning on top but it was good either way. The chicken we ordered was extremely spicy, which I liked, but it was pretty spicy. The pork we ordered was okay. It wasnt super authentic because they didnt cut the meat correctly but the flavor was there. Altogether I liked this restaurant and the prices were extremely fair considering their portion size. I would come here again to try the other dishes they have.

First time visiting this place after saving it on my list for a while now. Well, let's just say…read morethat it's worth the hype! Advice: sitting outside might be better in the cooler weather because we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes and fighting off flies. I really hope that they consider some type of nature oils near the tables to help guests feel more comfortable outdoors. Also, it would help to get more than one fan. Hospitality: aside from the bugs encounter, I would say that we did not have reservations (they were packed inside) so the hostess was nice enough to accommodate us outdoor. Our waiter, Anthony was a ball of energy and he really understands the dishes and was able to give great recommendations, some of which we plan to try on our next visit. Portions: the dishes are shareable so we only ordered the beef noodles and walnut shrimp and both were more than enough for a party of 2. DRINKS: I ordered the dark and stormy which can best be described as not too sweet and perfect for anyone desiring a well balanced drink. The bourbon smash was also really good. Well balanced with a smoky flavor which I loved. FOOD: Beef noodles- gosh this was so divine! Be warned however, there is a bit of spice to it but nothing that you won't be able to handle. I think the spices paired with the preparation of the noodles and the beef all made this dish memorable. Walnut shrimp- another memorable dish which came with a side of white rice. The shrimps were HUGE! But the flavors on each shrimp paired with that crunchy texture and creamy sauce, spectacular! Safe to say that we enjoyed both dishes and cannot wait to return and reserve indoor tables lol

I don't even know how to describe the energy in this place, but you can just feel it the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a dark aesthetic that gives it such a cool, cozy ambiance. My daughter and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons. Everything was so filling that we ended up ordering another bowl of the Dan Dan noodles! And honestly, I still crave them. The Dan Dan noodles were SO good. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy, and there was a generous amount of minced pork that balanced everything out really well. The wontons paired perfectly with the chili sauce that came with them! They were spicy--my ears turned red and my nose started running--but I literally could not stop going back for another bite. Even the wontons alone were incredibly filling. I don't live anywhere near this place, and I genuinely wish I did. I traveled pretty far to get here, and I'd absolutely do it again. This was one of those meals that stays on your mind long after you've left!
