Grace Garden - Chinese restaurant in Odenton - 1690 Annapolis Rd, USA

Not sure how these reviews are so high, but wow, everything we ordered was off. The crab wontons had no crab. The dumplings were all burnt. The rice was wet and lumpy. Just a bad experience. 不好吃

The portions were good for 2-3. The fried rice were super good. These egg rolls fillings were really good. The Sesame chicken is good and I haven’t tried the spicy chicken yet. I got all these for myself thinking they are small portions and didn’t know that the fried rice comes with sesame chicken. Anyway, these dishes are good. They do not have own parking lot. Located Right by the high way. Looks like a mama papa store; nothing fancy. Staff is polite and helpful.

While the parking isn't easy to view and the building itself isn't a happy sight, this restaurant makes everything with such grace and glamour that indulges your taste buds from beginning to end! The Gyoza and Taiwanese Style Fish Dishes are action-packes with exceptional flavors that burst you into happy tears in the best ways possible. I think I found my new go-to restaurant to restore my mind, body and soul over an impeccable hot meal. Give this restaurant all the TLC you can give and it will give you lots of TLC back! :-)

The smoke tea duck is one of the most authentic Cantonese dishes I have tasted in the US. No joke, reserve a couple of days ahead!

Authentic Chinese food, best dishes: Taiwan Fish, Crispy Aromatic Chicken, basil chicken, Szechuan braised beef/fish all amazing. JAN23: Taiwan, fish and aromatic chicken were amazing as usual, we also got young chow wonton soup, spicy green beans and mixed seafood in XO sauce. Didn't actually care for the XO sauce. It was a little sweet and did not have as much flavor as the Taiwan fish for example and it's a bit more expensive. AUG20: New owner & cook, but I'm still finding plenty of fantastic authentic Chinese options. Taiwan fish is now slightly better than before & their braised fish (or pork) are still to die for. I avoid their scallops dishes. Be aware most of the Chinese menu are large dinner size portions meant to serve two people, so they are more pricey, but the best outside of DC.

This might be one of the best Chinese restaurants in MD!! Everything is so delicious and always freshly made. Highly recommend trying the fish noodles, crispy eggplant, and Peking duck as they are all SO GOOD!! Portions are family style AND it’s BYOB! Couldn’t ask for anything more! 🤗

Came here on a whim with a friend who said this place used to be good. Unfortunately, no mala here either, friends. Apparently, according to him, the menu had changed quite drastically since the last time he was there, probably due to change in ownership, but we made the best of it. The ladies behind the register were nice and made sure we saw the special menu. Make sure to order off the special menu if you want more authentic food. It was currently setup for takeout only, which was probably good as there was a not so great smell on the short hallway inside the restaurant that leads to the long hallway that goes to the parking lot out back. In any case, I was delighted to see Szechuan items on the special menu and ordered the following: -Szechuan Spicy Chicken -Szechuan Pork Belly (and Vegetable drunken noodle, which was actually pretty decent, but I'd probably just go next door if I only wanted Thai.) Both dishes had okay flavor, but no heat to either of them, even after confirming mala with the lady behind the register. My friend ended up with the Beef Chow Fun and he said it was okay, but nothing to return for. That's how I felt about my meal as well.

It's a very small restaurant (3 tables) although, the food is great and the service is as well. It's definitely not a fancy restaurant so low expectations. It is still great for a small crowd of 5 or 6.
