China Bistro - Rockville

Never had a bad meal at this place. Mama's special dumplings and szechuan cold noodles are must haves. Also recently learned you can purchase frozen dumplings to make at home!

This place is super legit!!!!! I've been getting dumplings here for about 6 or 7 years. I've only ever gotten the dumplings! I would try other things, but I am literally still overwhelmed about how amazing just the dumplings are. I think about them a lot. All the kinds of dumpling are amazing because they are just really good quality. The fish cilantro ones are very good. The service is always fast and really good, too. Vegetarian options: Fish cilantro dumplings!!!!!!!!

I have been coming here for at least 10 years. Every single time I order scallion/chive pancakes (as I do wherever they’re on the menu and these are by far the best I’ve ever had perfect balance of doughy and crispy), fish cilantro dumplings, and mama’s special dumplings (regular steamed, not pan fried). I cannot speak to the rest of their menu necessarily, but this alone is the perfect meal. I will come back for the rest of my life. Everyone I know who has moved away from the area makes this a necessary stop whenever they’re back in town. This would be my last meal on earth if I were in a rare situation where I’d have the wherewithal to choose one. Thank you, Mama Dumpling!Oh, PS, you gotta mix the red pepper chili oil and soy sauce with vinegar. That’s gonna be the essential bath for the above food. Enjoy! Parking: The attached parking lot can be tricky during busy hours but parking in the Giant parking lot directly next door is a good hack.

Pass by this place all the time, decided to try today, ordered mama special dumpling and beef celery dumpling, they are good.Definitely going back try different things on the menu.

Been here a few times and while the dumplings are good great even, the wait staff are rude A F when it comes to tipping. Minimum 20% even if the service sucked, and I'm telling you the service suuuuuuuccccckkkkkkk. I'll come back when they have less rude wait staff.
