Hands down the best chicken soup dumplings I have ever eaten. The eggplant stir fry with garlic sauce was a stand out too. The veg dumplings were mid. Had a 20 min wait on a weekday afternoon. Service was good and food was out quick. I understand why all the hype. Totally worth it.

This place has officially ruined all other Chinese restaurants for me!! The food is some of the best Chinese food I've had and the service is very quick once you get seated... There was a 10 minute wait when we arrived on a Sunday, but it wasn't too bad considering how goo the meal is... We've tried the spicy pork dumplings, the original soup dumplings, the scallion pancakes and my picky son had the Shanghai noodles with shrimp. Everything was delicious and came out hot and quick.

Great experience. Smallish restaurant so some wait if crowded. Love the name Bob as a Chinese restaurant. Lots of vegetarian options. No carts for dim sum but you mark a menu with what you want. Went on a Saturday and prompt service and short wait to get table. Lots of selection, good energy and menu had salt and pepper version of tofu which is awesome - my favorite style from when I wasn't plant-based. Ok value.

Good taste and portion is reasonable, especially Spicy Pork Wonton, it was delicious. I only tried Dim Sum, mainly the food was well-balance and savory, even though there are not many choices Dim Sim Menu but I can say they all are quality selection. The service was fast and smoothly. When you look from outside, the restaurant look like small and hide in the corner of the building, but after you get inside, it is plenty of space dining room and nice ambient. No worry about parking is spacious and free. p.s. One thing I have learned is Shanghai's dim sum style is a little different from Cantonese's dim sum style that you can see more often in Chinese restaurant. Cantonese dim sum tends to be lighter and more delicate, while Shanghai dim sum has bolder, more robust flavors.

This Chinese restaurant is delicious! We were in the area and decided to stop by here because they indicated that they had soup dumplings. The chow fun was delicious and had the right burn that I would expect. The noodles themselves were also extremely fresh. I would get again. The fried pork dumplings were good for what they were, but the had a thick wrapper and didn't really have a crisp that you would get from a fried food. This is more Northern Chinese style so that is typical of that region, but I wouldn't get the fried dumplings again. Lastly, we got the regular house special soup dumplings. These were amazing and they had a ton of soup in them! I would 100% come back here for the soup dumplings alone. Highly recommend and would want to try out a few other menu items next time I stop by.

Amazing food. We had pork wonton, chicken soup dumpling, snow pea leaves, cumin lamb, Cheng-du chicken (very very spicy), eggplant (cold). All of them were amazing. Very flavourful and delicious. Price was reasonable and portions were big. I will come back again. Really impressive. Update: I think the quality getting better and better here. I enjoy more every time I visit here. New items are also sooo delicious. Try cumin duck and spicy soup dumplings...

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and the incredible aroma of authentic Chinese cooking. The menu offers both classics and regional specialties and every dish we ordered was a standout! Mapo tofu is as perfectly balanced __ spicy savory and comforting. The pork wonton soup was amazing! Unreal!! This place is a gem! Thank you chef

This place is always busy, we ate here a few times in past few years. The food are pretty consistent, their soup dumplings are pretty good, or one of the best for Maryland standards, versus NYC or Toronto. We ordered the pork XLB and crab pork XLB, beef and Tendon noodle soup and Taiwanese pork chop over rice. Beef and soup was avg but the noodle was chewy and pretty good. The pork chop over rice was slightly on the dryer side. Over all with tips was $68 outta the door for two ppl.
