Eastern Carryout

From the time I saw the pink mumbo sauce I knew I wasn't going to like this place. The mumbo sauce was garbage. The chicken wings tasted a lil sweet. Like sugar was added to the seasoning. I am not a fan. Lastly the shrimp fried rice had no flavor at all. I'm a DC kid. I need my carryout to be on the 1000. I should have lowered my expectations once I seen how clean the inside was and how every light was lit outside. You know the carry out is going to be fire when there are a bunch of people hanging outside some of the lights don't work and it's dirty on the inside. Waldorf doesn't have a good carryout. I'm sticking to Top China in Ft. Washington or easterns in Accokeek

Got the kung Pao chicken and egg drop soup . It was a little smaller portion for lunch but it was ok. The meal didn't have a lot of flavor and there wasn't a lot of gravy to go along with the dish. But it did fill me up.

The egg drop wasn't piping hot like from every other place I get it from.

I stopped by one night and all I got was shrimp Lomein , which was pretty good hot and fresh and the shrimp egg rolls were very good not greasy at all . Since this was the only thing I got, I can't leave a decent review. I'll eat there again and add this review. So far this is how I feel.

it was ok, nothing to rave about. Dumplings were haphazardly made, not impressed and to add insult to injury sauce was nothing but soy sauce (real bad) so I would stay away and the sesame chicken was like playing hide and seek with the chicken and I lost because and I found more breading then chicken. But the breading tasted good so it was more vegan then anything else. Doubt I will go back again.

This was really low class bullshit non-Chinese Chinese food the hot and sour soup was the weirdest crap I've ever tasted in my life nothing like real hot and sour soup did not have any of the traditional ingredients. The three entrées I ordered all had the exact same vegetables in them, and pretty much the same sauce with different proteins This place sucks butt. Yuck!!!

I recently came from an asian neighborhood and wanted to try the chinese food around here. The food reminds me of the cooking that I ate back from my old neighborhood. The shrimp in lobster sauce and the moo goo gai pan in my opinion were amazing. It was very refreshing to eat in pair with the chicken wings and crab rangoon. The crab rangoon was on another level itself. During covid I have tried plenty of crab rangoons and this place definitely made it the best. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the neighborhood.

I am new to the area and was looking for a Chinese takeout place and this had some of the better reviews. Because I didn't have a menu, I decided to go inside to order instead of ordering on the phone like I normally would. The inside is not pretty at all but that's the standard for a lot of the Chinese takeout places I've been in.

The lady at the front counter CLEARLY did not want to be there. She had zero customer service skills. No smiling. No pleasant voice. She seemed bothered and annoyed by me. But after looking at the menu quickly, I ordered. It didn't take too long for my food to come out. Once I got my food I looked in the bag and was disappointed because there were no chopsticks. So I asked the lady for chopsticks and again, she acted like I was inconveniencing her. But she gave me some.

Once I got home I tried the food. I got the sesame chicken combo with white rice. Then got a side of vegetable lo mein and steak and cheese egg rolls. Everything was good and flavorful. I will definitely be going back next time I'm craving Chinese food. But now that I have their menu I will be ordering over the phone and doing a quick pick up to avoid dealing with the lackluster customer service as much as possible. Food was a 4/5. Customer service 1/5.

Really nice friendly owner who is so patient to make sure your oder is taken correctly and made like you want it.

I order something mot on the menu and they made it for me. Very good seafood soup loaded with seafood, freshest vegetables and tofu in a clear broth. So yummy and healthy.

The food from Eastern Carryout is always good. I think they have the best Chinese food in the Waldorf area.

My only compliant for this order isn't for the establishment, but for GrubHub, who never picked up & delivered my order. I had to go get it myself. Even the restaurant worker was confused about why no one came to get it.

On the plus side, my food was still hot & tasty despite GrubHub's snafu.

If you order from Eastern Carryout, you won't be disappointed.

My order:
Beef & broccoli
Chicken & broccoli
Chicken lo mein
Chicken fried rice
Steak & cheese egg rolls

Since moving to Waldorf about 2 years ago, I haven't really found my go-to-bomb-a$$-carry-out spot, butttt Eastern is overall okay.

I placed a call ahead of time on a Friday evening for a General Tso's Chicken dinner with fried rice, a sm shrimp fried rice, sm hot and sour soup, lg chicken fried rice, and 3 egg rolls. The General Tso's was honestly the best to me. It came in one of those black plastic carry out containers with that opaque lid - both the chicken and fried rice - which caught me by surprise as I'm used to getting the black container filled with just General Tso's and broccoli while the fried rice is in a separate container. Other than the size of the meal catching me off guard, the chicken was surprisingly really good as well as the broccoli! The shrimp fried rice on the other hand was alright (I've had better) and the egg rolls weren't consistent taste wise. Two egg rolls tasted old while the other tasted a little fresher and was actually tastier than the first two I tried. It was almost like the first two were maybe made earlier (yuk!).

In my friends order, the chicken in the chicken fried rice was literally white (see pics, no exaggeration!) and could've been cooked a lil longer for some color but other than that my friend said it was good. Oh and the hot and sour soup, also per my friend, was really good. She said it was nice and spicy.

Overall, will I be returning to Eastern? I will - solely sticking to the General Tso's chicken and plain fried rice - and because they're literally like 5min from my house.
