The Oil Spill Noodles with beef brisket are awesome!! The fish fillet is also good. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Good chinese restaurant in DC area, decent flavor and good quality. Liang Mian is not that good. Love the frog and potatoes.

The best Sichuan we’ve had in the DMV. The Oil Spill Noodles are a must-try!

This restaurant has serious safety issue. The floor is very slippery. And we have ordered food for more than hour and the kitchen is super slow. We have ordered 5-6 courses, and it only have 3 courses on for like hour and half. No AC served on 78F enclosed restaurant, waiting on the food without air conditioning. It is really bad experience! Please caution on choosing this restaurant.

So glad another authentic ma la tang place is now open in Rockville. Super tasty. Huge portion!

A terrible experience when waiting for our order. It takes approximately 30mins to have the appetizer

The food and the service is really great. Much better good than the previous restaurant on the same location. Definitely recommend this place!

I have never in my life visited such a terrible establishment. I placed an order on the BeyondMenu website and promptly arrived at my pickup time, but the staff were confused when I showed them the order email and scrambling to find it. They had obviously missed the order but didn't admit it or apologize, just told me to wait 20 minutes. 25 minutes later, I go to check and the staff again is scrambling to find my order, and tells me to wait another 20 minutes! Like are you kidding me??! What did I wait for if no action was taken the first time they messed up?? The cherry on top of the whole experience is that the storefront is actually Friendship BBQ and they have another online ordering website with the exact same menu but everything is cheaper there, so if you insist on patronizing this ridiculous establishment make sure you order from there and hope they don't ignore yours as well.

Tried this restaurant on a whim! We weren’t entirely sure the process of ordering, and our server was extremely kind and patient in his explanation. Everything came out looking amazing, and tasted even better. We tried “baby spicy” and it was very good and still very spicy. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you to the entire team for a great experience!

The best Chinese bbq around DMV area! Highly recommend the pig feet, lamb kebab, grilled eggplant and chicken wing bbq
