This is a short review based on my first (but definitely not last!) visit. Will update in the future. 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. read more

Came here after a long day from a convention. My friends and I were hungry and wanted to give this a try and it did not disappoint! Everything was so flavorful and was great! We had the Ma Po Tofu, chive dumplings, sesame chicken, and noodles and out of all of those, the noodles and Ma po tofu were our favorites! Service was quick and the restaurant was very spacious and accommodating. read more

This seems like a brand new opened spot that I wanted to try but when I asked my waiter he said they'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. read more

We have been coming here quite regularly. It's never really busy here. They have a lot of seating space and it's spacious inside. The one thing that really draws us back isn't the decor or the service per se, but the food. If you're into Sichuan spicy and really authentic type of Sichuan spice then this place hits hard. Typically, you'll find Chongqing Laziji in so many Chinese restaurants that you can compare them with one another. This place has the spiciest one to offer if you order their regular. You can ask for a bit more mild but their mild is more spicy than others around. Another one I rank high is in Gaithersburg. But even so, I drive further out just for this one and I tend to pack up the chili, the ginger, garlic and crushed peanuts so I can make a second batch. Their other dishes are also flavorful and they tend to use less oil than other places, especially for a soup based Suan cai. The parking is a bit weird because you have to call in to enter and call to get out. It would be nice to have another person in the car to help with this. It's free parking if it's within 2 hours I believe. I haven't paid for parking once here. If you're craving for some no frills type of Chinese food and want that spicy oomph factor then this is the spot. It is a bit pricey compared to other places, but the amount on some of the dishes make up for the price. read more

Absolutely delicious!! And the service was on point too! This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. I will be back to try more dishes! My son and I ordered the Wanzhou Griled Fish in a soup/stew of your choice. We chose tomato - so tasty! I think it's possibly deep fried rather than grilled and then put in the soup. So good! The fried cauliflower and thousand layer tofu were ah-mazing!! And they had just the right amount of spices! I'm looking forward to coming back to try other dishes on the menu, in addition to revisiting these dishes. Yummy yummy in my tummy. read more

Second time trying out this place while visiting Rockville. They no longer have hot pot but serve Sichuan style Chinese food. We tried their spicy pork dumplings to start which was really good but it comes in a lot of oil. Mapo tofu is one of our go to dishes when eating at a Sichuan place... unfortunately their mapo tofu was fairly bland and had a ton of tofu but less pork than we are used to. My favorite dish and the one I would recommend is the fragrant tofu (there is some meat in there) - this was excellent! read more

I kept seeing this restaurant pop up a bunch of times on my suggested pages and finally decided to try it out. Normally I don't like spicy which is the signature of Szechuan cooking, but this is definitely doable for some dishes. We ordered the cucumbers which had a lot of garlic, the eggplant with dish (couldn't taste the dish but this sweet, a lightly vinegar dish was my favorite!), salt and pepper chicken, and the paper wrapped tilapia with pickled veggies. All of the food was excellent as well as the service. Definitely will come back to try out other cool items like the frog! Parking is a little weird, there's garage parking, and you have to call in order to get in, and get out. It's around 1.5 hours(? Can't remember) of free parking otherwise it's $3/hr. read more

Very spacious and comfortable seating inside! Here's what we had: Cucumber 5/10 - I thought it'd come out seasoned with oil and spices - a bit bland even with the topping Xiao Long Bao 6/10 - friend says they're serving the bibigo Costco dumplings since it looks and tastes exactly like it Stir Fried String Beans 7.5/10 Spicy Fried Fish 10/10 - LOTS of fish fried w/ a light fried crust and flaky inside - topped with garlic, cauliflower, red and green bell pepper, onion, and green onion - loved this dish! Tomato and Egg Soup - won't rate since my friend ordered this dish and I'm not a fan of egg soup Service was super quick with our dishes. When we were finished, they packed our leftovers nicely for us! read more

Loved the food and the service. The place has multiple names associated to it, must be new management of sorts. The fish dishes are amazing, so was the chicken. Staff was very patient and checked upon us multiple times. Space is huge and good for groups too. Must visit once if in the area read more

If you can navigate the parking in this new development, you're in for a magic carpet ride that goes way beyond the kind of normal and often bland Chinese choices in the Rockville area. During a recent first visit, we had Beef with Black pepper, Lamb Cumin, Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, Steamed Dumplings and Cold Noodles. All were superb. Service was similarly excellent. We will be back and hope China Tian Xiao can keep up this level of excellence. read more

They took over the Green Bamboo. I went for a lunch and I tried the Shrimp Tempura. Size portion was good and flavor as well. Would I go back for a quick bite, yes. read more

This restaurant is in twinbrook. Use the parking garage in the same complex. Free 2 hr parking. You have to enter and exit using your cellphone which was the first for me but after exiting the garage worked well. The staff were really nice. Soft spoken, kind, and thoughtful. They have picture on iPads if you want to see what the dishes looked like. We were hot at one point and they noticed we were taking our jackets off. They turned on a fan and pointed it at us. When my wife got cold another staff saw and turned it off. New dishes and napkins were brought out periodically. Our waiter even came by to help debone the fish. The food was really good. My wife and I love Szechuan food in the winter time. We don't take our whole family to B2J because of the limited menu. Our kids don't eat very spicy. This place has a larger menu with non spicy items for those in your party who would rather skip the heat. They have specials for free dishes if you spend a certain amount. Great deal for larger parties! Few restaurants would trigger a longer than 25 minute drive for a meal. I would take the long trek with the family to come back again! Easy 5 stars! read more

Both main dishes are so spicy, other than that the veggies and desserts are delicious. I wanted to try their signature dishes but they really are just too spicy for me. Service is nice. Cute and good restaurant overall. But probably won't be back because I can't take that much spice. read more

The foods there were very very normal. We ordered about 8 dishes during lunch time today, non is outstanding. Only 海鲜炒饭和菠萝饼 are ok. I hope the owner can see this review and improve the food taste with chefs together. The service there was really good, her name is Angel. Without her great service, I would not give this restaurant more than 3 stars. read more

This is my new favorite local Sichuan place. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A little strange that the tables are still set up for hot pot (its former cuisine, I suppose), but no complaints. Service: 5/5. The servers are so nice and attentive! They are ready to refill water pitchers, adjust spice level, show pictures of menu items, explain menu items, and provide complimentary chili oil if you wish. Complimentary peanuts (not pictured): 5/5. I love the sichuan peppercorn spices on these. So good, so difficult to stop eating / hording from my other meal friends. Wanzhou grilled fish (sea bass, spicy broth): 5/5. Delicious!!! I would have at least 3 people in your party to order it, as it's quite a lot -- and then still expect leftovers. I love the broth and all the vegetables that come with it. We get this at medium spicy, but could probably try higher level. Chongqing spicy chicken: 5/5. Banger!!!! Soooo good. Crispy, juicy, full of flavor. We get this at extra spicy. Green beans (not pictured): 5/5. Yum! Though the menu has a spicy icon on it, they were able to make it not spicy for our friend who prefers it that way. The restaurant validates parking in the garage nearby, but there is also street parking that is free after 6 p.m. (or relatively cheap before then). read more

Do not be deceived by the signage when you get here because you are indeed about to embark on a culinary spicy journey here. Place was clean, looked like it could be a casual place but I could definitely see a nice dinner here as well. Service was impeccable; they made sure our plates were constantly changed and brought water/napkins/anything we needed promptly! When you're having oily spicy food, you know a matter of seconds make a difference when you need that cool drink of water or need to wipe off that Sichuan oil. We came with some friends who I would consider Sichuan/Szechuan food experts and they said this place was probably the most authentic in the area. I spent about a week in Chengdu and I felt this place was on par with the spicy goodness I had there. I can't wait to go back to try some other dishes but I would not be upset if I went back for the same dishes we had before. Parking is nearby in the garage and the short walk is not bad after a big meal here. read more

Chuan Tian Xia seemed like a promising Sichuan restaurant with higher-end interior (for Chinese restaurants) so my Sichuanese friend and I decided to splurge (surprised that he wanted to eat at a Sichuan restaurant since he always talks about how he can "make more than half of these dishes at home", lol). Our server was nice and we got our food within a reasonable time. Somehow still spent more than an hour and half at the restaurant this past Thursday evening. GRIDDLE SHREDDED CABBAGE 干锅手撕包菜 - 14.99 Always good to have some vegetable option (even if you can make this at home). I always think it's worth getting vegetables, and the cabbage was a decent option that isn't spicy (there are some chili peppers in there, but you can pick it out if you don't like it). Good alternative if you're tired of green beans and want to try something new. FISH WITH HOT CHILI OIL 水煮活鱼 (徹魚/龍利魚) - 36.99 You can choose between tilapia or flounder, but flounder is my preference for this dish. The portion here is large, the bowl is like a big fish bowl. There's a lot of chili oil and all the ingredients and toppings swimming in it. There are some napa cabbage and cucumber (? confused why but it was fine), lots of chili peppers, bean sprouts and flounder. For how big the bowl was, I expected more flounder. But the flounder was so tender and soaked up the chili oil super well. This was a delicious option and I'm glad my friend and I decided to splurge on it. Even he was pretty impressed with the quality ("for Rockville standards, okay") and he normally doesn't approve of much. 木耳炒牛肉 - 19.99 This is stir-fried beef and wood-ear mushrooms off of their "Chinese only" menu. This is a pretty standard, savory dish. I love my wood-ear mushrooms and the beef was tender and seasoned well. There's also some peppers in here. Overall, this was good but nothing to write home about. 茶树菇鸭汤 - 7.99 This translates to "tea tree mushroom and duck soup", also off of their "Chinese only" menu. It's been awhile since I had some brothy Chinese soups so I was down to splurge on one. They definitely add MSG/umami seasonings in here to enhance the flavor of the soup, but it was clean and very flavorful. Definitely pretty authentic. They don't give you that much duck or mushrooms here, rip. But you're paying for a flavorful broth that's warmth for the soul. Solid Sichuan food. It is officially my favorite Sichuan restaurant (in terms of quality of food and taste) in Rockville. I'm glad my friend and I had a good eating experience here! read more

This now appears to be called Good Harvest, check reviews there. Travel to Chengdu China every couple years and really miss the good spicy food. So when I was at a conference and saw review of this place was excited to try it. I got there and it was now called Good Harvest but half of the menus and signs there say Chuan Tian Xia, so must have had change of ownership or name or who knows. Either way, there seems to be an identity crisis now. When I walked in it seems to have surprised them, the two employees (mother and son?) looked at each other and neither seemed to want to direct me. After some sorting, they realized it was just me and waved me to a table. Inside looks a bit dirty and run down, just had that overall feel to it, not a deal breaker and been to many places like that which were awesome, so didn't let it impact decision. The young man that helped me brought water and when I asked for hot tea he went to grab it, but when asked what type he didn't know how to answer (I'm not so particular but often they have green or black or even red). No problem, but when he brought it, it was sweetened (ouch). I was reading the plastic menu (the one shown on many of the pics on this site), then he brings another, this time paper one (assume the non-traditional one, it was standard Americanized Chinese food- orange chicken, broccoli beef, hot and sour soup). Then he brought another paper menu, so was confused. I like options but oh boy. All seemed different themes. Wanted some fish hot pot, but he said was too big for one person and couldn't do anything smaller (makes sense but was something I was planning to get). Ordered the Dan Dan noodles, pea sprouts, cold ear mushrooms and cucumbers. Food was so so. Flavor of noodles was good, but no veggies in there and not enough of the sauce that I wanted. Mushrooms and cucumbers were good but nothing special. Really not the spicy meal I hoped for. It was a bit more pricy than typical places like this but what isn't these days. read more

My husband and I have been here a couple of times now and the food we've tried never disappoints! Everything is delicious and for dishes that we thought were a bit too pricey, their generous portion definitely makes up for it! We especially love the fish dishes here. Great service too. One of our favorite spots whenever we're in the area! read more

Pretty traditional Chinese food! This place used to be a hot pot place, but it closed during COVID and reopened as a Sichuan Chinese restaurant. They haven't had the chance to change their signs, exterior and interiors. But the place is cutely decorated! It's a large space and they have a party room with a table that seats 10-12? as well as one large table that can seats 16. Food was enjoyable but be ready for spice! I have a terrible tolerance with spicy foods so unfortunately I couldn't enjoy those, but for the foods I did get to try, I enjoyed the flavors! I couldn't figure out what the non spicy soup we ordered was but it had like brisket in a delicious soup! Not pictured is a large white fish(you can pick tilapia or sea bass), that was marinated (you can select what type of marinade you want), wrapped in foil, and then brought out on a burner to cook at our table. Pretty fun experience! They also have a carafe of carrot and apple juice, which if you haven't had, is a delicious combination! My mom used to make it for me all the time! There's free parking in the parking garage nearby as long as it under 2 hours. read more

Let me start off by saying our group of five entered and left the restaurant super stuffed. We paid $192 after tax and tip (auto tip 18%). We were unable to finish all the food even though we had some heavy hitters in the party. Frog pot $50: this dish was absolutely delicious. The balance between the spice, numbness, and the tenderness of the frog meat worked really well! Baked Stripped Bass $55 + enoki mushroom add-on $4 = $59: while this dish is on the expensive side, the taste and the portion definitely outweighs the negative! The fish meat was suuuuuuuper juicy and flavorful. The skin on the fish melted away at the bite. This fish is a must order for any new customers! The pig intestine was around $25. Obviously this dish is only suitable to people with an acquired taste. For my friends and I, this dish was perfect. The crunchiness from the intestine mixed with the heat from the veggies are, for a lack of a better word, perfection. The cabbage pot was roughly $15 and two people in our group said this was the best dish! The fact that they can say that is unusual because meat dishes almost always outshine the veg dishes. But this time is the exception! The 蒜泥白肉 sliced pork with garlic sauce ("SPGS") was given to us on the house for ordering more than $120 before tax and tip. This appetizer is the best edition of the dish I've ever had in the East Coast (outshining NYC!). Let me breakdown the details because this dish truly deserves the microscopic examination. First off, the basic flavors of the SPGS is centered on a blend of garlic, spice, numbness, and oil. The taste of the dish should have a strong garlic taste, with the other three flavors in the background compounding the taste. On the other hand, Chuan Tian Xia's version of the SPGS brings unexpected twists: 1) this SPGS has cucumber that weakened the taste of oil, spice, and numbness, 2) because of the cucumber, the dish now has a light/fresh element, 3) this SPGS has a slight sour taste which really elevated the taste!!! Tl;dr the original SPGS has one strong flavor + 3 complements, while this restaurant's SPGS also has the strong garlic flavor and the 3 complements + but with the additions of the fresh and sour elements! 5/5!!!! read more

authentic sichuan food with good portion and sustained quality over the last gew years.

We came back with our friends and we all enjoyed another great authentic Sichuan meal. We ordered some of our favorites and tried a few new ones. 4*Fragrant Thousand Page Tofu 飘香千页豆腐: supposed to be a popular dish and recommended by the waitress. We ordered it mild spicy. It was different and good but greasy. I liked the texture and taste and will order it again. 5*Lung Slice Dry Mix 夫妻肺片: signature Sichuan cold appetizer. Authentic and delicious. Perfect! it was everyone's favorite. 4.5*Chengdu Cold Noodle 成都凉粉: signature Sichuan cold appetizer . Authentic and delicious, spicy with a hint of sour taste. Very good. 4*Glutinous Rice Cake With Brown Sugar 红糖糍粑: mild sweet, nice finishing touch for a spicy meal. read more

I had eaten here a couple of times before and had been very favorably impressed with the authenticity of the Sichuan dishes. My most recent experience earlier this week was very different My friend ordered kung pao shrimp off the Chinese-American menu; they brought kung pao chicken. I had a bite, it was bland even by Chinese-American standards, with no spice and (obviously) no Chinese peppercorns. My friend had asked for spicy, so he was pretty disappointed. I ordered the potato floss (a lightly stir-fried shredded potato dish) and the Chongqing chicken, both of which had been excellent on my prior visits. My guard should have gone up when the waiter insisted that I order the boneless version of the chicken, even though I said I strongly preferred the bone-in version. I only had two dishes, but both were major disappointments. The potato floss had essentially no spice. I had taken photos of the outstanding potato floss I'd had on a prior visit, so I was able to compare the two dishes. Just comparing my photo of the potato floss from my most recent meal to my photo of the version of the same dish last year makes clear that I was served, without my asking for it, the dumbed-down "American," non-spicy version of the dish. Last year, the dish was laced with a lot of pepper slivers; this year it has literally one slice of pepper. It was not bad, but not the delight it should have been. The Chongqing chicken wasn't much better. It looked okay (if a little over-fried), with a fairly big mound of chilis on top. But those turned out to be mostly decorative, and the dish was badly underpowered, with very little spice and very little "ma" flavor. And it was definitely over-fried. I'd say it's the worst version of Chongqing chicken I've ever had. When the check arrived, it explicitly confirmed my suspicion that I had been stereotyped and given dumbed down versions of the food, without even checking with me first. Rather than the "spicy potato floss" listed on the menu, according to the receipt I was given "mixed potato floss." More important, the receipt specified that my Chongqing chicken was with "less ma" and "mild." Not what I wanted at all, and certainly not what I had asked for. I absolutely hate it when restaurants stereotype me. Just because I look like a native-born American should not lead a restaurant to give me watered-down versions of the food. As I said, this is only two dishes, so only two data points, but this was a weak meal. read more

Food was deliciously prepared and presented. The spiced shrimp was prepared medium spicy per my request....delicious! The fried salted pork belly was a bit chewy for my taste, but tasty. The orange chicken was moist and simply delicious. The service was great. I will return with friends to try this place. read more

I came here a little before dinner time. The restaurant is relative quiet with it being half full. We ordered 3 entree and 1 appetizer. We got Spicy Dried Pot, eggplants, beers duck, and pumpkin cake. The cake was filled with red bean paste, it has a pleasant hint of sweetness. The Hot pot was spicy but you can still taste all the ingredients individually. I think the eggplant was the best though, it was both bold in flavor and not over cooked like most restaurants. The beer duck not pictured here was good, but nothing to write home about. Our waitress was good and the food came out quickly. Overall I'd recommend to give this place a try if you are craving for something spicy. read more

Just by the looks of it, you can already tell that this is an authentic looking Chinese restaurant and I was looking forward to trying this place. The inside has a nice oriental and culturally vibrant aesthetic to it and the servers were also really pleasant and attentive to everything we needed! As for the food, the Chongqing Noodles we're probably my least favorite. I did not expect them to be really thick and flimsy as they were, and was really hard to coat the middle with the sauce because of the thickness of the noodle. This really made the noodles lack flavor overall, so I was not really a fan of it. However, everything else we had was phenomenal, like the Chongqing Spicy Chicken and the Double Cooked Pork Belly. They were bursting with flavor from all the spices and the portion was huge for the chicken! I definitely look forward to coming back to this place to try the other authentic dishes that this place had to offer! read more

Had a chance to come here for dinner with my wife and our eyes were immediately drawn to the fish. Not many places here has broiled fish in a pot with a huge combo of vegetables and noodles. The flavor was incredible and dense and the veggies all soaked up the flavor. Throw in a bowl of rice and this was more than enough for 2 people. We will definitely be back to try out other dishes and probably bring some other people so we can try out other dishes. read more

Rockville really is a haven for Chinese food. This place used to be called something else and was renovated. We loved the kung pao chicken and the seafood dishes.

Found another place with crispy ChengDu du chicken!! It's called Chongquing Chicken but it's yummy . Also tried the spicy conch which wasnt on the English menu (thanks google lens!).

That's why they don't get 5 stars from me. read more

This place rebranded from being a skewer hot pot store a few months ago. Not too hard to find, it's on the corner of an apartment complex and now serves a Szechuan style menu with a signature dish of spicy fish stew. Be forewarned this is spicy food and not a good option for people who can't handle the heat. We opted for the Wenzhou grilled fish with the pickled pepper flavor with some additions. We also got the Chengdu cold noodle, Grilled Cauliflower and Fresh watermelon juice and also got the Szechuan double cooked belly and Spicy seaweed salad as bonus dishes. Definitely too much for 2 people but they are happy to box leftovers up for you. Overall flavors were on point and their sauce for the cold noodles was unique using a lot of pickled radish. They flash fry the fish first to get extra umami flavor and had a lot of extra veggies in the fish stew but the pickled peppers flavor was a bit too fermented for our taste and we will probably opt for the hot and spicy flavor next time. Definitely a place to check out in the Rockville area! read more

Taking one star off, because the food is kind of expensive for Chinese food. I ordered the Chongqing spicy chicken ($27.95) and the griddle cauliflower ($17.99) via UberEats. Both were delicious! I ordered the chicken to be 'mild spicy' and it was still plenty spicy, so keep this in mind. I really want to try the hot pot, but at $43.50, it seems way too much for mostly vegetables (not sure what meat is used here). I want to continue to support this business, but with so many other great Chinese restaurants in the area, offering more reasonable prices, I'm not sure how often I can. read more
