    A7. Cucumber w. Garlic Sauce
    Bibiana R.

    Finally tried this place after passing it many many times on a sunny afternoon where I did an oil change nearby. Had some time to kill so I walked in this place for a late afternoon lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The staff greeted me upon arrival and immediately served me some water. I ordered the spicy peppercorn pork soup dumplings and the cucumber salad . Both were phenomenal! The crunchiness and savoriness of the salad with bomb asf dressing & the savory and (slightly ) spicy pork dumplings were flavorful. I only wish they out more broth in those dumplings ! I'll definitely be back

    Stopped by my third Yu Noodles location and loved the inside space this place occupies. The parking lot is oddly laid out but the inside makes up for the outside and it's not quite worn off prior restaurant name. We came for an early dinner on a Saturday and walked right in and were seated. The space is modern and clean. My husband and I ordered: S7 spicy oil wonton- 10 pieces, some solid spice with peanuts on top. One of my favorite starters. S1 scallion pancakes- so flaky and crisp! A little oily but sooo delicious. A3 Buffalo wing & hot sauce- 6 pieces, I think this is fried in chili oil, leaves a nice burn in my mouth and lips. The breading is so tasty. N4 Sichuan beef noodles soup- my favorite dish at Yu Noodles! The beef so so tender and flavorful, the broth has delicate spice notes in addition to its rich beefy flavor. I don't find the spice overpowering and love that it comes with a few pieces of bok choy. Pizza soup dumplings- I've never noticed this on their menu, and my husband was daring enough to want to try it. It really did taste like pizza! The meet in a tomato broth, I thought it was good though I wouldn't personally get it again. I can't wait to come back for more of my favorites like soup dumplings and golden cabbage!

    We happened to found this place while waiting for our Tesla and decided to see if it's a good noodle place. The people were very nice and welcoming. It's clean and opened layout. They seat you and serve you quickly. Not much of a wait time. We tried their soup dumplings and few other noodles and they were just amazing! Soup dumplings are very juicy. Noodle broth was flavored perfectly. They were truly authentic. All the food was incredible so we went back twice more. 100% recommend to go by and eat!

    We went for lunch, and it wasn't too busy. Service was super fast. I tried the veggie dumplings and the tofu. They were good. There aren't many vegetarian options, so my choices were limited. The ambiance isn't anything special, but it's nice enough. It's not making it into my rotation, but I'd still say it's worth a stop in.

    It was early but during a work week and it was Chinese New Year's. Server was attentive and helpful. Food looked great and tasted lovely. Looking outside doesn't do inside justice. I just wish they had Rice dumplings. Since I can't eat wheat. But will come again.

    Black sticky rice with mango. Really good.

    Nice spacious dinning room and decorated nicely. An open kitchen is near the back and your food cones out quickly. Friendly service was helpful too. A solid place for attic Chinese food.

    This place was delicious! The service was super quick and it was busy too. Our first plate came out within 5 minutes and it was super yummy. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their food too. The restaurant was very clean and service was great. I would recommend this place for dumplings and noodles.

    I had been going to the yu noodles Cafe for a while and cannot believe i never came here! The mala xiaolongbao were so flavorful with a subtle mala hint. The fried chicken was so crispy and perfectly seasoned. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff was so attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back with more people!

    I almost don't want to write this review because Yu Noodles is one of those hidden gems I selfishly want to keep to myself. They have two locations, one near the courthouse in Rockville and the other off Gude Drive. This review is for the Gude Drive location. The staff is always friendly, the space is clean and well decorated, and the food? Absolutely incredible. I've worked my way through the entire menu, and I can honestly say I haven't had a single dish I didn't like. Special shoutout to their delicious freshly made soy milk (hot or cold), it's out of the world and must try if you've never had it. If you're craving authentic, satisfying noodles and more, Yu Noodles is a solid 10/10.

    I visited Yu Noodles on a weekend evening with a couple of friends. It's a cozy, family-owned spot--not too spacious, but with an open layout. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. We ordered a variety of dishes, including: - Soup dumplings, which were decent but not the best I've had. - Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup, which was fantastic! Incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend stopping by, especially for the noodle soup!

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.

It's usually packed with Asian folks who come for A&J's dim sum-style food. The food is described as "Northern style" Chinese, and it's definitely not Americanized. I've eaten many a bowl of noodles here, but my favorites are the Dan Dan Mian (with hot spicy sesame sauce and peanuts) and Xue Cai Ro Si Mian (shredded pork and mustard green noodle soup). I've also enjoyed Ma La Er Si (sliced pigs ears with hot and spicy seasoning) and Pi Dan Dou Fu (tofu with Thousand Year Egg) - things I doubt will EVER show up on a menu in my hometown. And the dumplings: oh my. I think I've tried them all, and haven't found one yet I wouldn't order again. The only downside to A&J (besides it being a drive for me) is their cash-only policy. Fortunately there are lots of nearby ATMs, but beware if it's your first visit. Prices are very reasonable and portions are perfect, so overall value is great. If you haven't been, go now, and work your way through the menu. Trust me, you'll thank me!

I have kept this place in the back of my mind, with fond memories, however, have not visited in some years due to multiple moves around the country. Recently, my friend was organizing a casual gathering for our friend group, and asked ChatGPT if there were any good recommendations for food in the area that was affordable and delicious, and A&J came up as a top choice. So I came back to A&J after almost 10 years, and the food was just as good as I remembered. The decor remained simple and unchanged, but this is very typical of Asian restaurants. The menu was large, and it's easy to order by circling items you want on the paper menu. We had a mix of noodle soup bowls (so many different flavors and styles) and appetizers, and everything we tried was delicious. Our bill came out to less than $25 per person with tip. I could imagine more pretentious Chinese restaurants downtown upcharging a lot more for lower quality Chinese food (Queen's English, for example). It was so good and affordable, that I actually ended up coming back the next day with a different friend. Overall, excellent experience, and I will be back again soon! One interesting tidbit, my coworker who grew up in the Midwest and only eats meat, potatoes, absolutely no vegetables, started going here for lunch and loves it. I think flour-based items (noodles, dumplings, buns) are really the star of the restaurant, and this can be enjoyed across different taste palates! I hope you will give this place a try.

We arrived right when they opened around 11 AM on a weekend and were seated immediately since it wasn't too busy yet. One thing to note is that the entire party needs to be present before being seated, which they enforce, but it helps keep things moving smoothly once you're inside. The service felt traditional and efficient, with attentive push carts circulating constantly, making it easy to see what's fresh and grab dishes as they come by. The staff were also accommodating with a baby seat, which made the visit comfortable for families. The steamed cart is always my favorite, and Far East does it well. Standouts for me were the shrimp rice crepe (silky and delicate), shrimp dumplings (har gow) with plump, juicy filling, and the steamed ribs, which were tender and flavorful. The chicken feet and tripe were also well prepared -- classic dim sum staples done right. I also loved the sticky rice, which was fragrant and satisfying, along with two must-order bakery items: the pineapple buns and egg tarts. Both were fresh and comforting, with the egg tarts having that perfect balance of flaky crust and smooth custard. Overall, Far East delivers a solid, traditional dim sum experience -- lively carts, reliable favorites, and a welcoming environment for groups and families. Great spot to gather, share dishes, and enjoy a relaxed weekend dim sum meal. Definitely glad to have seating back again.

I'm not a fan of saucy food. The noodles were fantastic. I feel like we ordered wrong, although my girlfriend picked everything except the noodles. This is not a place to visit if you're looking to lose weight. The hard sugar in the eggplant alone was more than I consume in two months. I'm probably not in the best position to rate our dinner as I avoid carbs and sugar. If I were to come back, I'd stick the noodles and revisit the menu to see if there is a solid chicken option. I came here hungry and left hungry as the food was not filling, and the sugar content sent my system into a bit of a shock. Nonetheless, if this cuisine is your thing, you won't be disappointed.

As someone who truly loves authentic Sichuan cuisine, I came in with high expectations. Word of mouth brought me here, and I am pleasantly surprised.

I feel lucky to have a spot like this nearby. Kevin and Judy put so much care into what they do. It's the kind of place that feels both personal and consistent. My go-to dishes are the flounder with Sichuan peppercorns--satisfying and flavorful--and the eggplant with minced pork in garlic sauce, which is homey and comforting. Pro tip: skip the Americanized Chinese options and go straight for the Sichuan Specialty, Ordinary Home Style, or Chef's Specials sections of the menu. That's where this place truly shines.
