My son and I went there after visiting MVA at Kemp Mill. I was so excited about the good reviews! We don't have really good Chinese restaurant where I live in Bethesda. When we got home we spread the food and realized that the food was all leftover from the lunch business. In the end, we had to throw away more than 2/3 of the food we ordered. Not fresh, just simple lunch leftovers! Well, I am not going back and I am very disappointed.... 4/12/2022 Holy Chow gave me $25 credit to make things right. We went back after several months and took out two dishes. It was much better! We enjoyed them and I wanted to say Thank You, Holy Chow!

I might be overly angry about this because it ruined my husband's 40th birthday evening, but we ordered in from Holy Chow that Thursday night because we had covid and could not go out :( We are within their usual delivery zone but they did not have a driver available that night, but they said we could do grubhub. OK. We placed the order at 5:10, and at it was supposed to arrive at 5:52. The grubhub delivery driver arrived and was told it would be a 25 minute wait, then waited for 40 minutes, and was told it would be another 25 minutes. He understandably cancelled the pickup. I called the store, very angry, and they told me that they had several large orders and they were understaffed and then hung up on me (maybe I deserved this. I was kinda yelling, but seriously!) Another driver picked up the job and we eventually got our food at 7:15, over TWO HOURS after we ordered it, except that we did not get our food at all. We got another person's food that was one entree, not three, and I wound up having to fight through it to make dinner for my kids and my husband ordered pizza and ate a late, sad dinner. I understand being understaffed, but with the prices they charge, they should be able to pick up employees. At a bare minimum, if there is going to be a delay, you should be able to communicate that when someone calls. If someone called after me and put in large orders, then they should prepare mine FIRST and communicate that there will be a delay to THOSE customers. Also, after ALL that, they could have at least made sure they gave me the right order. Delayed orders are not just delayed orders...they are crying, hungry children, haggard moms cooking dinners at a moment's notice to get hungry kids into bed, and ruined nights. For crying out loud, at the very least, you can learn to estimate cooking time and communicate clearly. I will say, in the interest of fairness, if you do finally get their over-priced food, it's decent.

No better falafel on earth! Perfectly cooked falafels with very crunchy crust and soft moist tasty interior. Real pickled red cabbage, grilled eggplant, hummus, tahini, onions and pickle nestled in a fresh warm pita. I want to rush back in and get another. I once stood in line for 40 minutes to get a very special falafel in Paris. I was sure I’d never have one better. Till now. Holy Chow is the new world champion of falafel. Shout out to my new friend Shlomo. You were right little brother. Thank you. See you soon!

Amazing customer service, and they can make most dishes gluten free and use substitute ingredients!

Very impressed and happy with our order. We had an office business lunch and ordered 7 business specials. The online ordering was super user friendly, and the delivery was exactly on time. All items were thoughtfully marked with each person's name. They really went the extra mile. The food was hot, tasty and as described on their menu. Excellent service, thanks! - Silver Spring Medical Center

The soup was excellent, the service was quick and friendly, the price for lunch special was reasonable. The fried rice was gross. The chicken with mixed vegetables was not very good because the chicken is not velveted well and the brown sauce doesn't taste so good. This place is Kosher, so I guess that might explain some of the differences. That is why I gave it an extra star. I strongly suggest that the Holy Chow staff go to Brother Chinese in Wheaton, order the same food, and compare the two. If any staff are non-kosher, they should do a taste test between how Chinese-American food generally tastes and how Holy Chow tastes. I really wanted to like this place.

Great service. Food was nice and hot. I will say the Singapore rice noodles were not the best. And really pricey compared to other restaurants. I’m not sure if they don’t offer it or if duck sauce/ soy sauce was forgotten to add to my order. If I decide to try them again, I’ll definitely go for another dish. Beef egg roll wasn’t bad but I really think the duck sauce would have added to it.

The owner genuinely cares about this restaurant and is very prompt, responsive and courteous. Wonderful eatery with a diverse menu.

Good food. Great service.

I got chicken Singapore noodles, it had something in it I couldn't identify as chicken. The food was way over priced for what you get. My large looked like a medium compared to what I'm use to having a Chinese carryout. Speaking of being and advertising as the Best Chinese food in the DMV, there wasn't a Chinese in sight. The food taste like Indian version of curry.

Unfortunately, my order did not live up to the hype. The general chow chicken tasted like it was fried in refried fish oil, very gross. Very disappointed in the quality and price of food.

Really disappointed by the chow mein and fried rice. Chow mein was like a soup, there were almost no noodles, and despite asking it to be spicy, was super bland. Chicken seemed to be just barely cooked, and with no seasoning. Fried rice has an unpleasant taste, and texture like mush. Growing up with authentic treif Chinese take out, I have given up on my search for quality kosher Chinese food that’s worth the price.

I don't understand how this place is a 4 star ! This fake Chinese food is absolutely grossssss! I have never ate noddles without any flavor like this before. All the workers look at you crazy just because your not one of them a (jew) very out of place and disrespectful just because we are a different race or religion does not give you the right to treat others different especially if we live in the neighborhood for about 30 years

Ordered chicken chow mein. Tried to fish for chicken for half an hour. Better go to Nova Europe nearby. At least you'll get impeccable table-cloth and spotless tableware. And it would not be much more expensive.

Very nice staff and great food I will definitely come back

I ordered dinner Hunan chicken and I specifically asked for less chicken and more vegetables in my order. I had only got 3 pieces of broccoli, no carrots, I had to look for the few pieces of the green peppers This is not the first time this happened. They skimp on the vegetables in their dishes.

Horrible food!!! Doesn't not taste like chinese food at all. I bought a lunch special chicken broccoli and went right to my trash can the soup that comes with it make me got sick for 2 days. If you don't eat kosher just go somewhere else. I feel so bad for the comunity that have to keep eating this food because they have to eat kosher and they don't have many options around wheaton.

I have been here four different times and asked for falafel, they didn't have. The owner/manager felt bad and said next time you come, we will give you falafel on the house...it's funny, giving away stuff that they never have...I gave them 1 star for trying lol

Ordered lunch for business meeting and really loved the food, and experience. Had to wait extra time for falafel….which was SOOO WORTH IT! Delicious, fresh, and the customer service was excellent, they apologized for the wait even though it was a way to get the freshest falafel! No worries Holy Chow, your food is delicious! Thank you

Asked for white meat chicken, it was like mushy and no flavor. Other dish was tofu it was over cooked. 43.00 dollars for two meals. One spring roll was 4.00 dollers

Amazing friendly helpful service! Huge selection of gluten free options . Food was amazing! Ribs, dumplings, Mongolian chicken and beef and the crispy chicken! Can’t wait to come back!!!

I'd rate the food like a 4.3/10 I ordered the general chow chicken and the texture reminded me of soggy bread but only the slightest bit more firm, I also ordered white rice which felt mushy, the way rice would if it were overcooked, and lastly I ordered myself the egg drop soup which tasted kinda off from what I remember it tasting like. Not too impressed with Holy chow's food

We just had the BEST Chinese meal from holy chow (to go)! The steamed veggie dumplings were huge! The egg drop soup delicious. The orange beef was a hit with my youngest - and the order was so large we all had some and have more for another meal. My chicken with veggies in garlic sauce was spicy and enjoyable. The vege egg rolls were a bit greasy for me, but my oldest loved it. And husband liked the sesame chicken. All in all, amazing! Especially for a really busy night. We’ll get this again soon bc it was so good!
