Bob’s Noodle 66, 200 N. Washington St., Rockville, MD, 301-315-6668, usually open, cash only. (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [Yelp | Don Rockwell]
CLOSED
Superb Chinese food, nor is it replicated by the other best Chinese places around. More Taiwanese than most local Chinese restaurants. The thick noodles are amazing. I loved the fish and the ginger casseroles. Get the oyster pancake as a starter. The last fish dish, lightly fried fish in a sweet and sour sauce, is a knock-out. Not to mention the tempura soft shell crab. Right now this is the best Chinese place around. I wouldn’t pretend that I have discovered the best dishes here yet, but you can’t go wrong, even if you don’t usually like duck blood.

Agree. My wife is from Taiwan, and this is the closest she can find to home.
