    Beef and onion dumpling and a pork belly dumpling
    Jake S.

    Came here right at 1145 and didn't have much of a line at all. We ordered 2 dumplings, a beef/onion also a diced pork belly. The beef and onion was very mellow in flavor and plain Jane in general. We loved the pork belly one. Both were steamed to perfection, and the Doug was fluffy and light. I don't know how they got the liquid inside the dumpling but the liquid in the pork belly dumpling was amazing! We bit into it, and it exploded all over the table we were eating at. We loved it so much we had to get 2 more to take home. Definitely recommend coming here. We will be back! Jake n kev

    The guy at the counter is just so rude. The dumplings looked great but with that kind of an attitude, no thank you.

    Great variety of baos (steamed buns). I wish they have a website so I can get hours and menu.

Favorites: firecracker salmon crispy roll, crystal shrimp dumpling, vegan chili hand pulled noodles, and spicy dry fried bamboo fish If you visit on a weekend, I recommend arriving when they open as they got fairly busy as the afternoon went on.

The food comes out extremely fast almost predicting what we'll order and bringing it out 5 minutes later. I came here for dinner last night with some friends and heres my thoughts: Osmanthus honey pork ribs - never going to be disappointed with this Spicy dry fried egg plant - meat eaters and vegetarians will love it. order every time Limencello Shrimp - really good, I had one and its not for me but the shrimp eater at the table enjoyed it profoundly Spring River Fatty Beef - nope. I won't order again. I couldn't find anything to like about it. The texture was gooey, the flavor was a no. I'm calling a redo because of this one. Maybe mix with a lot of rice people like it? Tofu skin salad (cold) - my daughter really likes it. i can have a few bites but its not my favorite. Sichuan popcorn chicken - perfection. it's popcorn chicken. Scallion Bubble pancake - order every time. its huge comes with a vegan dipping sauce. easily enough for 3-4 people.

    Some pretty outstanding fish soup. Don't let yourself get fooled by the slightly random /…read morenonsensical name (even the Chinese name makes no sense to me -- what on earth does "no second / two house / family" mean?); B2J Fish Soup is home to one some of the best authentic Chinese food in the DMV. As the name implies, they specialize in fish soup, particularly a hot and sour pickled fish soup (suan cai yu) that originates from Sichuan. This dish was one of my childhood favorites, and B2J did an incredible job crafting a deeply flavorful soup that transported me right back to my family's kitchen. The soup is served in the largest bowls I've ever seen and absolutely loaded with pickled veggies and tender, flaky fish that completely soaks up all the spicy and sour flavor. I appreciate that the soup isn't overly spicy or salty, so it's possible to drink the actual soup instead of just fishing out its fillings, and it goes great with the side of white rice. Their meal combo options also come with several appetizers of choice so, in addition to the delightful suan cai yu, we also got the fried milk custard and wood ear mushroom salad. The salad was super refreshing, with a great crunch from the wood ear mushrooms and red onions. The dressing was mostly vinegar and chili-based, so it was sour, spicy, salty, and slightly sweet. It was a delightful precursor to the spicy and sour fish soup, and the leftovers also kept incredibly well over the next couple of days. The fried milk custard was a great appetizer but made an even better dessert; the milk was gooey and melty, and the fried outer shell was perfectly crispy. It was such a delightful combination of flavors and not overly sweet. This hidden gem is quite quaint, but they managed to fit a decent amount of seating inside, with several long tables lining each side of the restaurant and a narrow aisle in between. The seats are comfy and, while the tables are quite close together, there's still enough space to feel like you have a bit of privacy / separation from the other diners. I love the little bamboo light fixtures, and one of their back walls has a little semi-circle design that looks like fish scales, adding to the fun, fish-themed ambiance.

    This is our favorite place for fish! Okay, my family loves soup, and this is very flavorful big…read morepot soup with awesome fish! We loved the classic flavor- just enough spicy ( plenty enough for me), to make it not overwhelm the fish and still has a good kick. We did try their spicier one - that was too much spicy in our opinion, but the level of spiciness is a personal preference. Their non- spicy tomato base is also very good! The fish itself- not fishy at all. Very fresh, goes very well with the soup. The sauerkraut is very flavorful and enhances the experience well, not overpowering anything. It all goes in harmony to creat a great experience! Loved their cold spicy chicken as an appetizer and the cucumber salad with peanuts were very well received. And one more thing - their rice - is SO good! Yeah, odd thing to specifically mention rice of any Asian restaurant- this is my first as well! But their rice was just that good!

    I read every negative review and I have to say it kept me interested. I just moved to the area…read moreabout a year ago and I've tried probably 10 different places in between Gaithersburg and Germantown. I stumbled into this today and told my husband we HAVE to order because I just found the best hole in the wall or the worst experience we'll ever have in our life. So I gave this a 5 star because I knew what I was getting myself into. I saw the restaurant, looked at the menu, saw it still delivered IN 2026 and knew exactly what type of place this was based on the price. It kind of sounds like at one time had a hay day, but from my point of view, I got exactly what I expected. So, yes, I do agree with the reviews. I called in our order and I thought the woman was short with me, I expected that, the rice was yellow, I expected that, the egg rolls were oily, I expected that. Because I have eye balls and read the room. Idk if I'll be back, but of those reviews there's a referral to what seems to be better than H.E. I'll try that next, but honestly if that's not very good this will probably be my go to. I'm not expecting Ruth Chris, this is a Chinese restaurant in a small plaza outside of a metropolitan area. What else do you expect? This is an exact you get what you pay for situation. 5 stars and keep it moving.

    I'm really sad that tonight's order was so rough. My husband and I order here often through…read moreDoorDash, and every time recently the quality has gone downhill. Tonight was our last try. It feels like the restaurant no longer cares about the food they're sending out, even to frequent customers. The food arrived cold and soggy, which I understand can happen with delivery, but the flavor was bland and the sweet and sour sauce was so thin it was basically water. It wouldn't even stay on the chicken. A restaurant shouldn't cut corners on such an essential part of a main entrée. The fried rice was also disappointing, with large chunks of plain white rice mixed in, almost as if they were stretching a batch of fried rice instead of preparing it properly. On top of that, we haven't received fortune cookies in the last four orders. It may seem small, but when you're paying for a full meal, that little touch matters. Skipping them feels careless. Normally, I would bring this up with management, but past in-person experiences have not been pleasant or helpful, so we've kept our orders strictly through DoorDash. Unfortunately, after tonight, we won't be ordering again. It's disappointing because we used to really enjoy this place.

I ordered the triple delight lunch special that comes with fried rice, soup and an egg roll. The egg roll was mostly wrapper and was room temperature. The filling was good, there just wasn't enough of it. The hot and sour soup was good and came with fried wontons that tasted house made. The triple delight had a sauce that had just a hint of heat and was much better than the usual brown sauce.
