Reviews for Gourmet Inspirations in Silver Spring, MD

The owner/ manager was very friendly and accommodating. The servers were also friendly and spoke some English. In Most Chinese... restaurants the service is bad but not here- everyone was kind. I had the dim sum. It was good. The restaurant itself is starkinside. There?s very little parking outside. I think if they moved the restaurant to a different location, it could become ahigher class restaurant. Read more

Nice Dim sum....toilet is v clean..service is ????

Super delicious food! Great quality for the price - a friend and I split 7-8 dim sum plates and it only came out to about $60!... Nothing was too salty and everything was so tasty! The shrimp hargao are some of the best I?ve ever tasted and the shrimp ricenoodle rolls are insanely good! Read more

Been here several times and I love pretty much everything we?ve tried?they also fill the BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Roll with so much... pork, in contrast to other places that skimp on it. My cantonese mom approves :) Read more

Very bad dining experience. First, one of the staff took away dirty dishes (without a glove) then immediately handled other food... (still without a glove) and put it on our table. The food was bland and oily, and the sticky rice was completely stuck to theleaves. It was also filled with dry chicken, never seen that. The worst though is how wasteful the whole meal was - we weregiven paper plates, plastic utensils, disposable chopsticks and red solo cups for water with a straw. It was very difficult toget any staff attention to order off the menu. We were looking and waiting for service and the host was on his phone. When wedid order off the menu the food just never came. The oily food we got from the carts were $11 and $12 each (see photo; thatplate of greens cost $12). I've been to many dim sum restaurants and this one is by far the worst experience I've had.

It?s pretty good dim sum place to try out. The beef chow fun is a call. Niuza is great as well. Others are standard.

One of the best DC-Bmore dim sum restaurants I've been to. Ordered online and was a breeze. Cashier was very friendly and... appreciative of our business. To-go order was packaged securely. The shuimai, hargow, egg custard tarts, stuffed egg plant,and fried taro dumpling were all delicious. The hargow and shuimai were large and plump! Our only minor issue was the shrimprice noodle roll. While it came with a delicious sweet soy sauce and the rice noodle had great flavor and texture, the shrimpstuffed within was too salty. Wife also loved the hot oil! Unfortunately and wisely, the restaurant dining area was closed sowe had to eat in the car. Definitely worth the 40 min drive! Read more
