4/5

Overall a solid first experience. I avoided the Uber Eats route for delivery because calling them direct is cheaper. Food got here and I started to tear it up. Here's my feedback: -Steamed dumplings, really good and authentic tasting! I'm impressed honestly, very unexpected. I'm used to the ubiquitous fried dumplings that all other fast Chinese restaurants offer. -Hunan chicken, whoa mama its spicy! But the veggies are perfectly cooked (not droopy and mushy) and the sauce doesn't feel at all greasy. Really savory flavor too. -The shining star though is the crispy shredded beef. More expensive on the menu, but damn if this isn't the one. Order this if its your first time. Really delicious, an...

This Asian-inspired restaurant is a fantastic choice for a family outing. The menu features a wonderful selection of healthy, flavorful Asian dishes, while also providing a few options for those seeking more variety. Don't miss out on the miso soup—it's delicious and usually comes complimentary with most orders, so you can indulge without any guilt. If you're planning to bring someone who isn't a fan of spicy food, there's no need to worry, as they offer milder versions of their dishes. Everyone can find something they enjoy here, and the atmosphere is very welcoming for families, ensuring that children feel at home during their visit.

The chef at this restaurant has been replaced by an inexperienced cook who clearly lacks culinary skills. Every dish was overly drenched in soy sauce. I ordered four items along with a soup: a cold cucumber salad, lemon chicken, stir-fried squid, and fried noodles. It took an excessively long time for my order to arrive, and when I inquired about the delay, the waiter informed me that my order was complicated and required more time to prepare. When the food finally came, I found it so unappealing that it made me feel nauseous.

Clean and welcoming. Delicious food. Ordered spring rolls and roasted dumplings for starters. They were excellent. Really enjoyed the taste of the pig in the dumplings. Also veggie lo my, chicken and broccoli, and spicy kung pao chicken. All were swallowed and enjoyed, and the kung pao was actually spicy. Many hot peppers cooked with the food I like it. Will be back soon. Extra bonus is simply parking right in front. (Not often for restaurants in Bethesda. Book a table now

I swung by for takeout and was very impressed! The orange beef with fried rice was delicious. It was served quickly and fresh and hot. I couldn't wait to get home, so I had a few bites before driving off. It was worth every penny, and the staff was great! Yum!

I was on the lookout for a new Chinese restaurant and stumbled upon this one on Google. I’m glad I did! The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. My only minor complaint is that the canned soda was nearly $3. I’ll definitely be returning!

Food tastes terrible like old or cheap cooking oils used. Their delivery person is always rude if he disapproves of your tip. Management sides with the rude drivers. Not worth a penny.

This has become my place in Bethesda for Chinese food. The taste is always spot-on and the service is excellent. I always get takeout, but the inside of the restaurant is really nice. Book a table now

Had the beef with garlic sauce and an egg roll. Egg roll was pretty good, made with beef and not overly greasy. The beef was a little spicy as promised. Beef had a good texture.
