For three star Chinese, try A&J Restaurant in Rockville. It's known for its dim sum. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This restaurant is very affordable.

Great dim-sum! Excellent price!

My wife and I love dim sum and since we experienced A&J we can't help going back every week. Maybe it is because it is so close from home, but maybe it is because it is almost impossible to eat so much, so well, for so little money. I specially like the pan-fried pork dumplings and the spicy peanut sauce noodles. The scallion pancakes are also great. The restaurant even has some good options for vegetarian (vegetarian delight, pan-fried vegetable dumplings, scallion pancakes, etc). Unfortunately, everything has MSG (not that I have a problem with that, but it deserves mentioning). The restaurant gets really full during lunch time (specially on weekends) and therefore it requires a little bit of patience to get a table (sometimes they offer shared tables, which may sound strange to some, but save a lot of time). My second dim sum option is Oriental East (in Silver Spring) which has great dim-sum during weekends (lunch time only).

Yelp.com Review - by Haesung H.

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this place. Their noodles are amazing, all hand-made. While I like the skinny noodles well enough, I love the thick noodles best. Cheap, clean, efficient, good.
