Big Wang Cuisine - Derwood

We had the spicy lamb chops, bean sprout with garlic sauce and the mixed fried rice. Everything was really good. Service was good. Highly recommend the place.

After the renovation, the restaurant space is much larger (basically taken over the space of a Filipino restaurant next door). There used to have several signature dishes that I really like. The new restaurant definitely looks better, while kept the food style it had before. Since the pandemic began, many restaurants deteriorated to a point that you would not go again. But for Wang Manor, I will go again. The food is good enough.

Such good authentic Chinese food! I loved the corn cake dessert, egg oyster pancake and all the soups and vegetable dishes! The inside space was renovated in 2020. There is plenty of seating inside and private rooms for events as well.

The best stir fried lamb spicy cumin $20.95 I've had outside NYC. I got it extra spicy. I got takeout from here, though the inside looked pretty cool with an indoor fountain. Also good was the double cooked pork. $14.95 I also got the following, but they were just okay. -szechuan beef spicy sauce $15.95 -stir-fried boneless chicken it had bone in it.... $15.95 -mapo tofu $13.95 As for mala, there wasn't any numbing in any of my dishes. Its close to 270/370/200, so I'll be back for the lamb at some point in the future.

Overall the restaurant is good. Great service and tasty dishes. Did not like that they used ham in the Yangchow Fried rice instead of Chinese red pork. Mapo was tasty but a bit watery for my taste. Green pepper chili with frog legs was delicious. Not a big fan of bones but I get it. The best part of our meal were the Szechuan green beans. Best I've had in the area and I've eaten it at INSERT NAME OF LOCAL RESTAURANT HERE. I've eaten at almost all of them in Rockville, Derwood, Gaithersburg, Bethesda, and Germantown, among other obvious places like D.C. No I haven't eaten at every carry out. But the point is that the food is authentic Szechuan and the menu is comprehensive and includes American versions. My reason for not giving it 5 stars....they charge $5 for hot tea. I had no idea until I got home. Addendum after second visit: Forgot to mention. Be prepared to eat off of small plates. No idea why. That and the chairs are not comfortable. No padding. It makes dining in unenjoyable compared to the food.
