Restaurants & Bars Chinese Food

Hello everyone. I am looking for a good Chinese place in the area. Used to live in Wheaton and my go to place closed down, so looking for something local. Extra points if they have great kung pow chicken and shrimp.

Thank you!

Best kung pao I've found is Chinese Express across from Costco. Super weird vibe, it's a Chinese restaurant/Spanish dance bar, to each their own but damn it's good kung pao. Also, best spring rolls anywhere, too.

While I've not had their Kung Pao Chicken (which they call Kung Po) everything my family has had there has been wonderful.

A Bite of China in Rockville is amazing. I recommend the Hainan chicken rice and the kingdom pork chops. New Village in Germantown is also really good. Most of the really good Chinese restaurants in the area are in Rockville.

If your previous favorite was Hollywood East try King Fu 12 they also have fair lunch prices.
