A friend and I had a delicious lunch last week. We shared some Bok Choy with Garlic, Soup Dumplings and Roast Pork with snow peas. Everything was great but the soup dumplings were even better! Service was great. read more

Great Chinese food - from authentic to the Americanized. Lunch special is limited, but was under $10 and came out piping hot and with super fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked chicken. Parking lot can be a bit of a challenge - but believe they also have a lot in the back along with a back entrance. Looking forward to trying carry out from the New Paul Kee. Service was quick and courteous and the restaurant itself was immaculately clean and looked polished. read more

Delicious and homey. Everything we ordered was very good and portions are large so there's always leftovers! The interior is renovated and very clean and bright and staff is very attentive.

New Paul Kee - Interiors - Cantonese Near Me - Wheaton-Glenmont, Maryland

I used to go to the old Paul Kee, so at first it was weird. I got over it and I enjoyed myself. The staff was attentive. The food was delicious was different. It was on a Saturday afternoon so it wasn't as busy around lunchtime, it was actually really quiet. The generous portions, and the familiar flavors made it very memorable. The only thing is there's a lot of items on the menu so I would suggest you view the menu before you sit down to order. If not, it'll take you a long time to pick out your favorites or something new to try. read more

I don't usually like to drive down to Wheaton area especially at night but this is one place I don't mind keep coming. They have the best Char-Siu (Hong Kong style BBQ pork) & all seafood are super fresh. I highly recommend the steamed garlic oysters, so succulent & delicious. Service is wonderful, both lady servers are attenuative & pleasant. Menu is big, with so many dishes that I want to try them all. The only thing less desirable is the parking, could be hard to find on weekends. All in all, my families love to come here for a decent meal, very authentic Cantonese cuisine. If you never been here, it's worth the try. read more

Since my favorite Chinese restaurant in Wheaton (and in the whole area) closed I have been looking for a new one, and this one is it. The salt and pepper squid, walnut shrimp, crispy beef, and ma po tofu are excellent. Pan-fried green beans were good but nothing special. The menu looks great; lots of dishes I'm looking forward to trying. The restaurant is very comfortable and the staff are friendly and competent. There are only a few free parking spots in front of the restaurant, but plenty of metered spots around. (I see other reviews mentioned a parking lot in back of the restaurant but I haven't checked that out). They also do a great job of preparing takeout orders. read more

Paul Kee has been a staple for home style Chinese/Cantonese in the Wheaton area for many years. And under new management; this establishment has undergone a major facelift. The space has been upgraded and renovated to reveal a cleaner and brighter interior. The menu has been updated with new dishes but also keeping the tried-and-true dishes of the past. The food came out fast and piping hot and tasted great. The only complaint when it comes to the food was the crispy noodles with seafood was quite under seasoned. Service was attentive and friendly. I am glad to experience the newly revamped Paul Kee! read more

This restaurant has a great Cantonese chef, a rarity in a small town like Wheaton. Almost every dish you order will be professionally cooked Cantonese style. Try any quick fryed beef dish and you will see what I mean by a great chef; beef will be tender yet firm in texture. It's been our favorite and we go there almost every week. read more

Didn't take any photos since this was a last minute carry out order. This place has definitely changed inside and out for the better. The New Paul Kee interior has a nice modern looking vibe compared to the old furniture and style that was easily not missed from before. The construction scaffolding was still up on the outside so it will be a refreshing change to this long standing staple of Wheaton. I have been visiting this location for many years and although the owners may or may not have changed since the word "new" was added to the original name, the food was definitely delicious. This is one of the few restaurants in the area that serves Hong Kong style bbq meats and dishes, one of my favs. So I will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Their crispy pork is really good. The staff are pretty friendly and there's a huge selection available on the menu. Duck was okay.

Hubs and I finally made it here for dinner and are glad we finally did. We are still smarting from the closure of our favorite Chinese in Wheaton so looking for more options when we don't have time to trek to Rockville. I think NPK will make it into the rotation. We tried pork & shrimp soup dumplings, spicy szechuan wontons, and *please don't judge* walnut shrimp. All were good. Walnut shrimp: The shrimps they use are large and good quality, perfectly cooked. The breading was just right. Large fresh broccoli. We don't get this one often but it was good. Usually we are team dumpling, so the other two dishes are more in line with our usual fare and we can compare these to many other places we go. The soup dumplings were very good, had sufficient flavor and a burst of broth in each. Theirs are green so maybe they use spinach flour? Not sure. The wontons were also good but very different flavor profile than I am used to for this dish. Less heat, more vinegar, a tiny touch of sweetness. All in all, they have a lot of other dishes I want to try that are outside what we usually get. I think I would come here when I am not specifically craving dumplings and wontons, not because I didn't like these - I did - but it is very hard to compete with Bob's and a couple other places for those dishes. But I would get the walnut shrimp again once in a while and I want to try the roast pork and some of the other delectable looking dishes I saw at other tables. Review may go up as I try a bigger variety. Service was good, prices were very fair. Restaurant was clean, bright, not cramped at all. Parking was tight even though we got there just after 5 so be warned. We didn't see the bathrooms. read more

Both food and service was excellent. Ambience also nice: modern and very clean. We have been here a big family meal for 6. Ordered authentic Cantonese style as well as Chinese- American dishes since some in our party preferred more familiar dishes. Everything was plentiful and delicious. Came here for lunch ordering simple noodle soup dishes for each my husband and myself. Again the food and service was excellent. read more

Paul Kee has been a staple in Chinese cuisine for decades in the DMV. After a change in ownership and much needed renovations, the same nostalgic Chinese flavors are revamped with new menu items at New Paul Kee! Service was typical of a Chinese restaurant and the ambiance was nice. We went on a weeknight, so it was quiet. We had a large party for a birthday and sometimes you can request them to cook off the menu items at Chinese restaurants or even bring your own ingredients and pay an upcharge to cook, so I'm not sure what's on the menu and what's off, but all of the food was fresh and flavors were good. Definitely recommend! read more

A lot has changed in the DMV since I've moved away. Two presidents have come and gone. Both Monique and Candiace have departed the Real Housewives of Potomac. Even the Purple Line project has... just kidding nothing has changed there. Perhaps the most painful and shocking loss I felt was hearing about the steady decline and eventual closure of Paul Kee. It was a staple of my childhood all through my college years. Its dishes formed my palate when it comes to Cantonese cuisine, so much so that every "beef with sour cabbage" I've ever eaten subsequently is always compared to theirs (and always comes up short). Though the official word was that the restaurant would undergo renovations and reopen under new management, nobody knew what form it would take. Alas, the long anticipated wait is over and New Paul Kee has arrived, "there sits Balerion, come again." The interior has received a much needed overhaul, but the food has not lost any of its splendor. While the menu is pared down, it still includes the beloved roast duck, char siu, and crispy roast pork that made the original restaurant famous. There are also new and creative dishes like fish filet with sour cabbage over rice noodles and a refreshing, crunchy lotus root stir fry. In a random twist of fate, on the day I visited the old staff was also there for a reunion dinner. I probably first met some of these waitresses and cooks when I was just 5 years old. Now, 30 years later, every last person has left. I suppose it's sad that however much we love something, we can't stop it from slipping away. If I had my way, the original Paul Kee would be locked in time forever (let's bring back 1990's prices while we are at it). Things can't stay the same though. We all have to grow up and move on. The best we can do is hope that, if things have to change, they change for the better. As we were leaving, one of the old managers pointed me out, "You're old like us now. You're tall. Good food makes you grow well." read more

New Paul Kee - Menu - Cantonese Near Me - Wheaton-Glenmont, Maryland

They redid the old Paul Kee and did a very nice job. The menu is not the same but it is still very good and the place is finally clean. I moved to the area 20+ yrs ago and it was largely because we loved the food in the neighborhood like PK... I'm thrilled that they are back to a place I want to visit and I can't try the dumplings next time. We will be back! read more

I've walked by this place on a few occasions, but it took an invitation from a friend for me to finally enter the establishment. Overall, I thought the food here was pretty on point, and I did not have any complaints. While it was not the best Chinese/Cantonese food I've had, it definitely is up there especially for this area. I did like how most of the diners (in fact everyone except for our table of four) were of Asian descent. This observation tells me that New Paul Kee is a legit place for Chinese food. The restaurant has a HUGE menu of various dishes. However, if you have visited Chinese restaurants over the years, most of the menu items are things that you would have seen in other places. For my dining pleasure, I went with an order of the Hunan beef and steamed wontons. The Hunan beef was just ok (the beef was a little too tough for my liking), but the wontons were absolutely amazing. I thought the sauce for the wontons had just the right amount of rice vinegar for my liking. In fact, the wontons were so delicious that I almost considered placing another order to have later on. Most of the dishes are around 15 bucks, and you will receive a pretty generous helping of food. For instance, I was stuffed after having half portions of my wontons and human beef. Our servers were pretty nice, and the food comes out really fast. In fact, my main course came out before my appetizer. While this might be a faux pas for some folks, I don't really mind it...Hey, all of the food is going to the same place in my belly. The restaurant shares a small, free parking lot with a few other businesses. Although there is free parking, I think there is only about 10-15 spaces, so free parking may not be available. However, there is a county parking lot about 100 or so feet away. I think it cost me about two bucks to park in that lot for a couple of hours. I'm looking forward to trying more things on New Paul Kee's menu...especially after having a drink or five at the bars in that area. read more

We ordered here tonight to give it a try since our family's favorite spot was closed on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, to our surprise most of the dishes we ordered here were a miss. The ribs were over cooked and very fatty, the chow mein was flavorless, and the lo mein was pretty standard. Luckily, my sister's friend enjoyed their chicken wings and my mom thought her pork friend rice was pretty good as well. Additionally, I was surprised that for an order over $100 with soups, egg roll and multiple entrees there were so sauces, fortune cookies or even napkins packed. In comparison to a handful of other places we order from, that was also in stark contrast. Although disappointed, I'm grateful for the chefs that prepared our food on a holiday. But unfortunately, this may be the only time we order from here. read more

Do you remember when Paul Kee used to open until 2:00AM? The carpet was grungy. The food was good. Service was average. The old menu is gone (no more squid with pickled vegetables) but they are well focused on the items they kept. Try the roasted combos. Can't find it as a dish anywhere else around here. Makes me feel like I'm back in Hong Kong. Love that it's clean (no more dirty carpets) and the service is friendly and prompt. Although I miss the late-late-night dinners at this place, overall this is a good compromise. Paul Kee has moved on to be the New Paul Kee. We should embrace that. read more

New Paul Kee - Wonton Hong kong style noodles Beef Tendon - Cantonese Near Me - Wheaton-Glenmont, Maryland

Tons of free parking in the parking lot and accepts cash and credit card. With many restaurants closing within the area in the past few years, the local Chinese cuisine has been slowing dying down. However, I'm glad this place is still open. We ordered several dishes from this spot from their beef brisket and their duck noodle soup. Good quality food. Also, the staff here are very friendly. The interior looks great. The exterior of the business can be tough especially at night with not much lighting. However, the food here is good. Worth giving it a try if you are in the area. read more

Food soooooo yummy!!! Service is awesome too! The restaurant is clean and modern. One of the best Chinese food I have in the DMV area. read more

Great food. 100x better than most Chinese places in Silver Spring/Wheaton. Friendly vibe from staff.

i had a good time here! i loved the roasted pork and highly recommend getting that over rice. the soup dumplings and chili oil wontons were also yummy. these were my top three! service was also nice and there were lots of table sizes so it's good for big groups! read more

We came here for mothers day. The service was great everyone was very friendly and attentive. The food was fresh but sadly everything was a bit bland. read more

So happy to find delivery. The menu is so great, it was hard to make a choice but once I did it was as outstanding as I remembered. I continue to recommend and hope to be able to visit once again. Until then, delivery must be my option and I will continue to recommend. This is my all-time recommendation. What shall I order next?? read more

2 visits in a month. Shrimp eggrolls excellent, properly cooked, fresh ingredients, shrimp with garlic sauce again properly seasoned with just the right amount of sweetness, pork with snow peas classic version nice crispy fresh snow peas and last but not least, requested Gen Tzos shrimp which is not really on the menu and they were happy to do it. Was so good, ate the entire order. We used to go to Hollywood East and this is a great successor. Asked the manager about Dim Sum and he said they are introducing them. Can't wait! read more

I miss the OG Paul Kee. Food was always on point. Service sucked, but the food was so goood. New Paul Kee... ehhh subpar. I ordered the roast duck, combo fried rice & triple delight. Roast duck had absolutely no flavor, Fried Rice was blah and the Triple delight was watery and had a sweet & tangy flavor? Did not taste the wok. I am disappointed. New cooks with the new restaurant? Spent $60 on all this and now bow it's in the trash. It was not good. At least Full Key down the street is still available for takeout. read more

This place has great chinese food in general. I frequently get the wonton or roast duck noodle soup. The place was recently remodeled so the interior is very nice. The staff is super friendly too. Plenty of parking out back as well. Highly recommend this place. read more

Small portion initially. Nice renovation but things could be desired. Helpful service when asked. Not much else to comment on but so far value isn't there yet. Spoke with staff and they said to talk to them next time to ensure there isn't an issue. That's nice of them. Food is authentic after going through the course. I like how the seafood portions were and we were take of when we brought things up. Little things had to be taken care of like napkins, rice, tea. Overall food is good and it's a nice experience just understand they may not be too attentive unless requested. What's nice is they pack up for you unlike other places just just give a bunch of boxes. But didn't pack the best way spills easy! read more

Bad service and food meat is rotten. On Saturday dinner time the restaurant look empty

We had the food delivered through Door Dash. We ordered a large wonton soup. It was too salty! The 6 wontons were more like shrimp dumplings and were on the side. The egg rolls we ordered had only vegetables, we ordered them with meat! The shrimp egg foo young was the only redeeming part! The total bill was over $46! It cost $16 for delivery,taxes, and an $8 tip charge! No condiments were included! Only 3 miles from my home! I never knew that a tip was included! I assumed that the tip was optional! Our food was only $30! read more

Went there around 4pm 4/25/2025 and both my buddy and I got orange chicken and a side of egg rolls. Had to send back one plate of the rolls because it tasted and smelled rancid. Then after having that comped, box up what's left and leave. I find a maggot with white fuzz around it on the broccoli when I try to finish the leftovers for dinner. Threw up everything. I want my money back read more

The New Paul Kee is even more delicious than before. Overall, the food came out piping hot, and well seasoned. Ordered: - Spicy beef tendon appetizer - thinly sliced beef tendon with strips of green onion and roasted peanuts in hot oil and spicy Szechuan peppercorn sauce. Tendons were a little bit too firm but the flavor was good. - Cuttlefish with pickled julienne daikon and carrot appetizer - could have been served with a soy sauce and five spice mix, but we made our own fresh hot pepper and soy sauce mixture to dip into so it worked out. - Deep fried seafood (shrimp, squid, scallop) - crispy light batter. Jalapeño, green onion and just the right amount of seasoning. - Duck blood w/ ginger and scallion - it was a silky, jello-like delight, - Sour cabbage w/ fish filet - sweet and sour flavors paired perfectly w/ the white fish. - Beef lo mein - deliciously smokey wok flavor and perfectly seasoned. The interior of the restaurant has been renovated to be more modern and clean. Service was also better than before. read more

I don't know if they have a new management thus the name New Paul Kee. We used to order from Paul Kee and I don't remember being impressed. But today was a completely different experience. We ordered from Uber Eats and absolutely loved everything!! Very generous portion, very fresh and the food was neatly packed. Everything we ordered was tasty. The delivery was pretty fast. We can't wait to try other dishes! Keep it up, New Paul Kee! read more

Authentic Cantonese restaurant. My grandparents are picky eaters and they approved. Nice ambience. Newly furnished. Good service.

10/3/25 - Didn't even get to eat tonight after traveling from Towson, MD. We were welcomed in by a pleasant waitress, but then met with a waitress with an attitude When being seated. We were told to sit at the table by the door, asked for a different table in center of resturant. Was not able sit before being asked what we wanted to drink. Asked what they have (since we were given menus) and was told "sodas!" Asked for waters. Was asked how many then we were given waters without straws, so we asked for them and got a sigh. The final straw was when I had my hand out to receive menus, and the menus were thrown on table instead of put in my hand. Decided to take our party of 5 and leave. when letting another waitress know we were not going to stay. She was pleasant and asked if we saw the menu. Unfortunately the terrible interaction with the other waitress was unsalvageable. Maybe if we had the polite waitress that asked us about the menu, the experience would have been better. It's really too bad because the resturant looked nice but the service provided was not. We left and went to Full Key. read more

The food is fantastic! The waitress is very friendly. Price is super fair. Interior is brand new and clean. Must try! read more

Paul Kee is a breath of fresh air into the Chinese restaurants in Wheaton. Full Key was a good restaurant until it changed hands and Gourmet Delight and other Chinese restaurants left Wheaton at the end of 2024.The menu is extensive and the dishes we tried were good. Sweet and sour soup was fair, the whole steamed flounder was very good as was the buck Choi with mushrooms. We will return to sample other dishes . read more

Chinese food here is authentic and delicious. Restaurant is newly renovated. Service is great.

One of the best service we have received from a Chinese restaurant. We were not pressured to immediately order and were given a couple of suggestions on the menu. We arrived after the lunch rush and before the dinner service so the roast dishes were not as many. What we did have (roast duck and char siu) were very good. This establishment was clean and my parents and I enjoyed the decor. read more
