| Recently moved to SS / Takoma Park and have yet to find Chinese take-out that really hits the spots. I know people rave about dim sum at Oriental East, but I ate dinner there once and wasn't impressed with the standard menu (not bad, just not anything to write home about). Any hidden gems? TIA! |

Spring Garden I'd ok.
Chinese food in general is meh IMO. |
| There are some good places in Wheaton namely Hollywood East. However I'm a huge oriental east fan dim sum and regular so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. Have you been to mark's kitchen in aroma park? Lots of Asian inspired dishes. |
I would love to live in Aroma Park!
|
| Kao Thai in Downtown SS |
| Second Full Key. The best. |
| OP here- thank you for the recommendations! |
|
There's also Paul Kee and Good Fortune in Wheaton. All 3 offer mainly Hong Kong style Chinese food. If you like that style, then it's good, if you don't like that style, say, a northern Shanghai style, then it's not good.
There's a reason why these 3 restaurants have been there for over 20 years! |
| I lived in TP and we ordered from Spring Garden and Thai Silver Spring--both delivered to us. Spring Garden isnt the best Chinese in the world but much better than the places on NH Ave that deliver. |
| Mmmmm ... Charm Thai! |
+1 Thai Derm and Mandalay (Burmese not Chinese or Thai but similar) is yummy too |
+1 to Paul Kee |
