Not all sweet and sour chicken is made the same and theirs is top notch! We always get sweet and sour chicken and plain lo mein. Delicious every time and much better than other Chinese places around. Our favorite! read more

Great spot! Delicious food, good service and a chill atmosphere. Very polite and agreeable staff. Clean and neat. Great options on the menu. Two thumbs up! read more

The food always seems fresh here and of a higher quality than other Asian places locally. My mom loves their orange chicken with real slices of orange peel for flavor. I appreciate that they have gluten free noodle options and I think their crab Rangoon is the best I've had! Location is sort of out of the way on the side of a large shopping center. The people inside are nice. I ordered take out but there's tables inside if you want to eat in they'll serve you. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Teariffic was recommended to us, and it did not disappoint. Ordered take out, there was a little bit of a wait, but definitely worth it as the food was great. Looking forward to coming back and dining in, as it definitely has the cute "hole in the wall" vibe of a local, non-chain restaurant. read more

The best part of Chinese are the leftovers. If that is your vibe- you can skip this place. The wonton soup - amazing. The crab Rangoon - too sweet. No flavor in the general Tso chicken. No spice at all. Rice was good. I have been told to order the dumplings- maybe ? Just disappointed at this point! read more

I went into Teariffic today excited to get a bubble tea smoothie and was disrespected for absolutely no reason by the cashier. I tried to buy bottled sodas to reach the $10 credit card minimum (the smoothie was $7, so I figured it was no big deal) , and was told by the cashier that they "will not be doing that for me" and then she walked away and completely ignored me. I'm always extremely nice to people in the service industry because I work in it myself! It was totally uncalled for. Why does it matter what adds up to the $10 minimum? This used to be my favorite place, but I will definitely not be returning after this. read more

The food is great. However, the lady at the counter is super rude and disrespectful. They don't give you itemized recipes and she will try to charge you for dinner meals instead of the lunch specials. read more

It's a tucked away spot but has been around for a long time. I enjoyed coming here for a quick lunch break. I got the sweet n sour chicken with pork fried rice. It was good but not the best and didn't take too long but not too quick to come out. The atmosphere was definitely outdated inside but I had no problem with it. Nice lady at the counter and quiet place to eat. read more

Chinese is in short supply in Southern Maryland. This place is in a weirdly hidden location within the shopping center, kind of behind Thai Inter. I tried it hoping that it would have something a bit more interesting than standard American Chinese. On the drink side, I liked their options. The matcha milk tea had a pretty serious green flavor. They say it's non-dairy milk, but they don't say which one (Soy? Coconut? Almond?) and I couldn't tell, but it worked. The food was not overly exciting. Ordering vegetarian meant getting tofu with a choice of sauce. The hot and spicy sauce I asked for was available in two versions which they explained to me as being either just tofu or tofu with mixed vegetables. I was glad I got the vegetables; the cabbage and peppers and onions mixed things up nicely. It was very crispy deep fried tofu, but the sauce was pretty basic; sweet, savory, and just a hint of heat. It was fine but it certainly wasn't memorable. The dumplings were a bit better; I always like green-colored veggie dumplings, and these were green inside as well as outside. The place offers a table of plastic utensils and self-serve water after one orders at the counter. It's pretty basic. The price was appropriate, and it may very well be the best Chinese for a long way around given that my old standby has closed, but I wasn't so much impressed as satisfied. read more

Great quality and flavor. Wide array of dishes. Super dumplings. Ample portions. Well worth the price.

I love their chicken udon stir fry, also their honey walnut shrimp is good. Plenty of seating and they get busy during lunch

As a regular, everything has been great every single time. My personal favorite dish being the sesame chicken with lo mein. The food here is fresh and the staff are always nice. read more

I ordered carryout today after not eating here for quite a few years. I've eaten here before and enjoyed it, but my husband is not a big fan of Chinese food so we don't get it often. We ordered the crab Rangoon, shrimp dumplings, kimchi, general Tso's shrimp, flounder and I ordered a matcha milk tea. The fried crab Rangoon's were very good. We didn't love the dumplings. I thought they tasted a bit fishy. They were also very small, and the portion was very small as well. There was something about the kimchi flavor I didn't care for, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. The general Tso's shrimp was very good and a large potion. The shrimp were large and had just the right amount of batter. My husband really enjoyed the flounder and the portion was also very large. The milk tea was delicious. It had just the right amount of sweetness. No issues with service, the food was ready when they said it would be. I'm not sure if this is permanent but when I called they said they could only take cash. There was a lot of activity in the parking lot due to the new fast food restaurant that opened next door. It may be better to park in front of Famous Footwear. read more

Don't go unless you have $$$CASH, they always say their credit card machine is down. Teriyaki Chicken on a stick had been extremely overcooked last 3 times I ordered. I asked them to be cautious with my order this time and they refused to serve me at all. The lady yelled at me and refused to serve me at all. They accused me of returning food several times. I am not one to complain unless I feel like the food is completely inedible. Only twice have I asked for a remake. Once they remade the food the other she refused and refunded the one item. Attached is photo of the overcooked chicken. I was humiliated in front of several customers. I had met friends and the lady continued to trash talk me to them after I walked out. Not sure if I'll go back. I'm disappointed because this used to be a favorite place for our family. read more

I live in Port Republic, Md about a 30 minute drive home from this restaurant. I came in placed a togo order and they said about 15 minutes. It ended up coming in about 5 minutes. I always come here so i know the food is fresh but whew, i stopped by mezah and ordered a family member food, then went home. MAN, MY FOOD IS STILL STEAMING HOT!!!! Ive never wrote a review but this place definitely deserves one. All of the staff are so nice and friendly. read more

I've never reviewed anything in my 41 years. But just wanted to give the next person heads up. I ordered Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice for $12 as take out. Took it home and to my surprise it was just white rice with frozen veg and chicken. Picture included read more

Best Crab Rangoon. Some amazing dim sum for a cafe. Fried rice not like your average American Chinese restaurants. Orange chicken is great. Truly the best Chinese restaurant in the county and possibly in the 60 mile radius. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service here!!!!! I used to live in SMC but moved to Northern VA almost 3 years ago now...... this place used to be my favorite for years and I was excited to have this again. I was in town visiting family and decided to stop here for lunch with a friend of mine. 1. I ordered curried tofu with veggies (WHICH THE CASHIER TOLD ME CAME WITH RICE AND BROCCOLI) Awesome, I'm vegetarian so that was perfect for me. Then I specifically ordered a Taro smoothie WITHOUT bubbles because I do not like them. Very simple order right? 2. My friend order a taro smoothie with no bubbles as well and pineapple fried rice. Immediately after ordering and paying I grabbed my recipet and out of no where I'm assuming the owner (the Asian lady who has been working there since as far back as I can remember) came and literally reached across the counter and SNATCHED the recipet out of my hand saying something like "NOOOO THIS IS THE KITCHEN'S"........... wtf? I literally was SHOCKED she did that especially in front of all of the other people who were waiting in line it was extremely busy in there I'm guessing because it was lunch time..... that's fine I let it slide but I was extremely offended!!!!! After waiting about 15 minutes she FINALLY brought us our smoothies.............. one of them has bubbles in it.......... I told her that I didn't ask for bubbles and she immediately caught an attitude. I told her it needed to be remade without bubbles and she literally shook her head and grabbed from the back the previous receipt she snatched from me showing that it asked for bubbles. I then got extremely frustrated and told her "Didn't I just say I didn't ask for bubbles? I know what I ordered" She then snatched my smoothie again with an attitude and I could literally here her talking crap about me in another language which I couldn't understand but I could deff hear her the words "taro" and "bubbles" come out of her mouth so I know she was talking about me. She was also being so loud that the guy sitting next me laughed and say "wow you must have made her upset pretty mad over that smoothie hahaha" which is really sad because it's true. You're that salty over a damn smoothie?!?! Word of advice to the owner of this place how about you check your staff for incorrectly taking an order before you get pissed AT A PAYING CLIENT FOR HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THEIR ORDER BEING INCORRECT!!!!! Finally after waiting literally 20 minutes our food came and we left. This is really what pissed me off. I get my "tofu with veggies and rice" and guess what?!?! NO BROCCOLI OR RICE! Literally this dish was 75% onions, 20% tofu and 5% celery/mushroom...... I WOULDN'T EVEN FEED THIS TO MY DOG!!!!!! I'm sorry but if your side of veggies is all onion this is not okay!!!!!! False advertisement and stupidity on the employees that work their who clearly have no idea what's on their menu!!!!! I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! And the saddest part is the owner of the store acted like this in front of a restaurant packed with people. What a embarrassing way to carry yourself in front of people. You look absolutely ridiculous. Please take a look at my food and tell me if you would actually eat this garbage. Disgusting!!!! read more

Teariffic Cafe - Curried tofu which the cashier told me came with rice and broccoli but it's literally 75% onion, 20% tofu and 5% celery.... - Asian Fusion Near Me - California, Maryland

I love Teariffic! Its a quaint little restaurant tucked in a corner of San Souchi.. The ambiance is casual, quiet, private. The lights are dim, the place is clean and their food is delicious. Their service is quick. I love to meet friends here for a bite to eat or for one of their fabulous bubble teas. The boba (tapioca)) pearls are large, and give your mouth a delightful texture and a slight pop when you bite down on one! Of course their large selection of flavored "teas", milk teas, smoothies and iced drinks will make everyone happy. Its a great place to go to, even if you go for a "bubble tea" take-out! read more

My daughters and I went in for Boba Tea.. I had never had one, my older daughter has had many from different places. Both of ours tasted weird, she said it really bad, and mine was also. After we tried to drink them our stomachs actually were kind of sick and we felt off the rest of the night. We actually brushed our teeth to get the taste out. She LOVES Boba Tea so I knew it had to be bad esp for her to say that. She had the Moca and I had the Chai both with Vanilla Tapioca. I'm giving 2 stars only b/c the girl at the counter was very nice. Something wasn't right ... No Boba from here again. Boba beware. read more

I've moved away from the area, and Teariffic is still the best Chinese food I can find. Whenever I come "home", I plan around Teariffic's openings to be sure that I can pick up sesame chicken and fried flounder and boba tea to go! read more

Loved the food and the boba was fantastic! Seems like one of very few boba places on the area but didn't disappoint.

This time I had the Chicken Mei Fun (not spicy) and a Honeydew Smoothie! It's still too loud to go in the actual cafe, but my dad seems to find the employees nice. The food was really good consistantly this time. I do partially miss the peanut butter ("sesame") noodles, but those really are just a desert honestly. Their smoothies are dairy free and their tea is brewed strong. read more

Writing this on behalf of my partner who ordered the hot and spicy tofu. He said it was super good, even as leftovers the next day. I will probably come to see if they can make any of the dishes vegan. It seems like a nice family restaurant. read more

My favorite Chinese spot. The food is always fresh and appealing. This isn't the place to go to if you want that greasy Chinese takeout. All of the food is amazing on the menu. I have even used them for catering and I was satisfied with that as well. They have one of the most unique Chinese menus in the area. Dine-in and carry-out services are both excellent. read more

"I'll have a plate of meh with a side order of spicy meh. Oh, and let me get some meh to drink with boba." The truth hurts like a sore tooth waiting to be pulled when the dentists office is closed. I came across Teariffic Cafe on my venture to find unique places to eat in California, MD. Reviews good.... check, photos of good looking,delicious food....check. I headed out to indulge. Unfortunately, the location posted in yelp for this business is wayyyy off. Like across the street off. I ended out by the barbecue joint doing the creeper crawl across the strip mall a few times before I realized the restaurant was across the street by the Famous Footware store. The setup here is a bit weird. It looks like a full-service restaurant but it is actually an order-and-pay-then-sit-down restaurant. I ordered the General Tso chicken combo with hot and Sour soup. It came out surprisingly quick and looked delicious. After my first few bites, I was done. The "sauce" on the entree was more like a jelly which made it hard to enjoy. The soup was also very salty and greasy. I came, I tried, I disliked, (in Arnold's voice) "I will not be bock." read more

Love the food however today when I went in a new policy is in affect that unless you spend more than $15 you must pay in cash. My order totaled 12.95! $2 less than 15 I only had $10 in cash on me. Nope no exception even though this is a new policy. Just lost one customer read more

This is hands-down the best and most unique Asian food available in the county. Everything is fresh and the flavors are unique. I have yet to find something on the menu that I don't like. Take out is a great option here. Service has always been quick. What else could you desire? read more

FANTASTIC food!!! The staff were very nice, and polite. Their location is a little hard to find, but it is a big place & very clean; from my view there. As already mentioned in other reviews here, We got TWO orders of crab Rangoon's, They were freshly made & AMAZING. I would highly recommend. We WILL be REPEAT customers from now on! read more

I was so happy to hear that Teariffic Cafe had bubble tea that the same day after work I went there. The bubble tea was great and so was the chicken and broccoli that I got. Their prices are really good as well for the amount of food that they serve. I plan on trying different things on their menu. read more

Mmmmmmm mmmm delicious ! I came to this area for business and really thought nothing was going to be around here . I was wrong ! I decided to give this place a try . My friend go the sweet and sour soup and chow mein and he loved it ! I got the custard bun and sesame balls ... omg they were so good . These are dim sum delicacy and I'm from the Baltimore area and never would be able to find this . Give this place a try ! They definitely have great variety of choices for food . This is by far the best Chinese take out place I've ever been too ... and don't be fooled there are definitely authentic choices as well . read more

I know this is "the place" to go for Chinese here...right? I tried the challenge. Order the same item here and at Jerry's and do a blind taste test. It was no comparison. Jerry's...of all places...win every time. How can this be? I'm all honesty, if I was going to eat "out" Chinese food I'd go here bc it's a nicer place and better ambiance. But for takeout? Save some money and head across the street. read more

If you're looking for a clean, made to order Chinese restaurant, this is the place for you! I eat here at least once a week if not more. I've been through the entire dim sum menu and have settled on Veggie Dumplings and Sesame Won Tons (steamed, not fried) as my favs. The occasional Black Milk Tea with Bubble too. The entire menu (dim sum and entrees) is cooked to order so sometimes if it's crowded it takes a little while for your food to be served, be patient, it's well worth the wait. The place is decorated with an earthy feel and is the cleanest restaurant in SOMD! They have a picture book at the counter of the dim sum menu. Place your order and help yourself to some plastic wear and a cup of water and find a seat/table. Your food will be on its way soon! ENJOY! read more
