    Crab Rangoon, Pork fried rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Vegetable Mei Fun.
    Chelsea H.

    This was my first time into the restaurant and it's very cozy and quaint. The woman who helped us was so kind and wonderful! The food was 10/10, you can definitely tell it was fresh, not to mention there was not a long wait at all. We got there around 6:30ish and food came out by 6:45ish. Totally worth it! Make sure you go and try it!!!

    Ordered their food for my daughters at home party lol

    Soooooo I'm Chinese and Filipino and I rarely ever order Chinese food because if your Asian it's so hard to trust good carry out places. Spring Garden in Germantown was my go to but they closed. I wanted to get some carry out for my daughters birthday and I ordered like 4-5 items. The lady over the phone was very pleasant and nice. When I came there to pick my food up she was nice as well. I told her I don't order Chinese food like that so I hope it's good lol and she said I hope you come back. The food is the typical carry out tasting beef and broccoli and orange chicken and lo Mein. There fried chicken and friend rice wasn't good to me. The last carry out I went to, to get Mumbai sauce and fried chicken was Kenny's and I think I might just stick with Kenny's instead of this place. My mom wasn't impressed but it was decent. They have seating inside the place if you want to sit in. But they get 3 stars because the food is good enough to finish it and the customer service is on POINT! Very friendly compared to most places. And plenty of parking

    I ordered on Christmas Eve for lunch. It got here in a flash! 1.99 delivery thru yelp/Grubhub. The food was hot, flavorful and really enjoyed it! Order consisted of egg drop soup, chicken chow fun (plenty veggies in it), chicken lomein, steamed dumplings, and fried chicken wings. Take it from a New Yorker food was very good. I've tried Chinese various times in this area and always disappointed. Hunan has a believer in me and I will order again soon. Top notch delivery too! Thank you and happy holidays.

    Yum. Beef in black bean sauce chow fun!  Reminds me of a great place off Shattuck Ave in Berkeley.

    This was not really a fair test as I ordered "off the menu", choosing an item they did not "have"; Beef in black bean sauce chow fun (big wide flat rice noodles). Tender beef slices, carrots, zucchini, cabbage and onion all mixed in black bean sauce and chow fun. It was good but not great. Needed more black bean paste/salty flavor to be really good. This place is BUSY, lots of take out orders. Free hot tea and regular water too, which I like. Good prices. I'll eat here again next time I am in the area.

Even though it was hot out, the umbrellas provided us plenty of shade and there was a beautiful breeze there for some reason. We had pork dumpling (delish). I had the drunken noodles w/chicken off regular menu. It was delicious with just enough heat. My daughter had the crispy citrus chicken w/white rice, off the lunch menu (for $13). She didn't love it because she said she tasted something in it, not curry, maybe cardamom. I thought it was good but definitely tasted a spice we don't always eat. The service was very good, their portions are generous and their prices are fair. I would go back.

After sitting for about 30 mins we noticed other tables that came in after us had received their meals before us. We brought this to our server's attention and she stated our food was coming... When our food arrived it was cold. Like it had been sitting out. We were disappointed...Others when they received their food, servers also offered a variety of sauces to have with their meals but with us there was no checking in or follow up...smh...just cold inedible food...not even the sauce pairings as we saw offered to others... I don't think well venture back here for Thai/Sushi... But hey if you decide to give them a try, I hope you have a better experience than we did. Happy Yelping!

    Matthew's Grill - Gaithersburg, MD Authentic Filipino…read moreComfort in the Heart of Montgomery County If you can't visit the Philippines--or if you simply miss authentic Filipino food--a visit to Matthew's Grill will absolutely help set the mood. From the food to the atmosphere to the people (both customers and staff), everything felt wonderfully familiar and welcoming in a Filipino tradition. According to Jimbo (sp?), our greeter and host, Matthe's Grill would be exactly the same as if we were actually there in the Philippines. Born and raised there, and apparently Matthew's cousin, Jimbo's enthusiastic friendliness set the tone for our entire visit. We first heard about Matthew's from an Uber driver who insisted it was the only nearby spot for truly authentic Filipino dishes. Based on our lunch, he wasn't exaggerating. We ordered: Matt's Crispy Pata - a mini mountain of succulent fried pork shanks, bone‑in and beautifully crisp outside and juicy inside. The vinegar dip cut through the pork fat like a flavor katana. Kare Kare - tender oxtail and vegetables in a rich peanut broth. Creamy and rich. CJ's Chicken Wings - reportedly among the top ten in the region, and easy to believe people would make a meal of these alone. Lumpia/Egg Rolls - reminiscent of Mexican taquitos, perfectly fried and addictive. Once you start eating them o it is hard to stop! White Rice - served alongside everything, as it should be. Each dish came with its own sauce or dip to enhance the flavors. I can't personally confirm how authentic each recipe was, but I can say everything was delicious, portions were generous, and we took home more than half for another meal. (We'll be reheating by air‑frying and convection baking--these dishes are far too nuanced and crispy for the microwave!) Service was fast, tables were large and clean (great for families), and complimentary water arrived in big refillable pitchers. Music played at a pleasant background level. The all‑gender restroom is located down the left hallway behind the kitchen--clean and well supplied. Parking is free and plentiful in the shared strip‑mall lot. A note on hours: Matthew's is only open for dine‑in on Thursdays and weekends, though take‑away is available on some other days. It's best to check ahead. We were among the only dine‑in guests on a Friday at lunchtime, but there was a steady stream of customers picking up take‑out orders. If you go, I recommend embracing the Filipino experience. At minimum, it's worth learning how to say "thank you" in Tagalog. We did. Salamat!

Pretty casual spot with friendly and sociable staff! I enjoyed all the dishes we got. Loved their lumpia Shanghai as always. I liked the amount of flavour and salt their sisig had. Their take on halo halo was quite nice too, and not too icy like others I've had, although the flan was a little too sweet to my liking. After we paid, they gave us a free cup of Buko Pandan to share, which was extremely nice and great! Overall, had a great time here; great hospitality and great food for such decent prices! Would come back again if I was in the area.

Everything was clean and had nice Chinese-style decor. As usual, I ordered mapo tofu and a hot and sour soup when trying a new Szechuan restaurant. The soup was excellent and came in a large portion bowl. The tofu came with minced pork (it can also be ordered without the pork) and it was delicious. They told me it wasn't usually that spicy so I asked for it to be as spicy as their regular spicy dishes. When it came out, it had excellent heat and my lips are still a bit tingly. Overall, a large Szechuan restaurant in this area that's worth a visit. Of course, authentic Chinese in this area is already crowded, but this one deserves some foot traffic love as well.

    After a long day outside, we decided to drive a bit further to Germantown for a Cantonese dinner. A…read morefew of us grew up eating Cantonese food, so we wanted the classics. The servers speak Cantonese, which was a good sign. We ordered food and a couple plates arrived within 5 minutes (!!) which was insanely fast. I think we got all of our dishes within 10 minutes of ordering. I'm not sure how they whipped it up so quickly. CHICKEN & CORN SOUP - 9.95 We got two orders of this since there were six of us, and each person was able to enjoy almost two bowls of the soup. This was more like egg drop soup at an American Chinese restaurant with some bits of corn and chicken. You really can't call this "chicken & corn" soup. There was lots of cornstarch to give a thick texture. Overall, it's not bad but I think most people can make a better chicken & corn soup at home. BARBECUE PLATTER (3 SELECTIONS) - 21.95 +bbq pork +bbq crispy pork +bbq roasted duck The bbq was fine, nothing to write home about. The bbq pork was vibrantly red, but flavor was a bit bland. The bbq crispy pork wasn't very crispy, but it had a good ratio of skin, fat, and meat. The bbq roasted duck was just fatty. SEAFOOD CHOW FUN - 14.95 Instead of the wavy egg noodles, the server recommended the flat rice noodles (hor fun) because she said it was better. There was a good amount of vegetables and seafood. Aesthetically, it looked delicious. It wasn't too oily, which is good, but it was pretty bland and lacked the "wok hay" flavor... Almost like they just lightly sauteed it on a pan. SAUTEED CHINESE BROCCOLI W GARLIC - 13.95 The texture was nice and crunchy, but again, very bland and no "wok hay" flavor. I ate it for health. EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC SAUCE - 11.95 The eggplant was incredibly saucy and flavorful, definitely the best dish we got. It was soft, tender, and creamy which went well with the garlic sauce. Our entire table agreed this was our favorite. KINGDOM PORK CHOP - 15.95 The sauce was a dark red and very thick. We knew without trying that it was going to be too overpowering and sweet. Indeed it was. Out of everything we ordered, this was definitely our least favorite because it was borderline inedible. I had high hopes since someone recommended New Village as one of the best Cantonese restaurants in the area, but it ended up being pretty mediocre. Like another review had mentioned, most dishes felt flat since the flavors lacked the "wok hay" depth we were looking for. The pricing was very good though since we paid less than $21 per person after tax and tip, and we had enough leftovers for at least two more meals.

    Not sure why the low scores, we enjoyed the food - lobsters (in season), string beans, and pork…read morechops.
