Bethesda is an unincorporated, census-designated place in southern Montgomery County, Maryland, United States, located just northwest of the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C. It takes its name from a local church, the Bethesda Meeting House (1820, rebuilt 1849), which in turn took its name from Jerusalem's Pool of Bethesda. In Aramaic, ܒܝܬ ܚܣܕܐ beth ḥesda means "House of Mercy" and in Hebrew, בית חסד "beit ḥesed" means "House of Kindness". The National Institutes of Health main campus and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center are in Bethesda, as are a number of corporate and government headquarters.

When Q opened, I had high hopes. I had retail enjoyed the Peter Chang restaurants in Arlington, VA and Rockville, MD, and this one was closer to home. I left very disappointed, but gave them the benefit of the doubt that they were still in the shakedown period. I returned last night, and was even more disappointed. To begin with, the service was really poor. When we arrived, they pointed to an empty table, suggesting we could sit there. After a long wait, I had to get a waiter to take our order. A few minutes later, another waiter stopped at our table to apologize. The long and short is that we had dishes that were on the menu at other Peter Chang restaurants, but they weren't as as good and they cost about 30-40% more. And, the dessert was terrible -- other Peter Chang restaurants do't offer dessert, and now I know why. Other Peter Chang restaurants are 85-95% occupied at prime time -- this one was about 30% occupied, and now I know why.

We had dinner here tonight with one of our grandsons. We started with hot and sour soup which my husband and I thought was very good. Then we split several appetizers, scallion pancakes, fried pork dumplings, and barbecued spareribs, all of which were good. We also split plates of General Tsoâs chicken and Szechuan beef for our main courses. Both were good, but we actually liked the appetizers better. The iced tea was also good, and our waitress was friendly and helpful. The dining room was nicely appointed, especially the welcoming fireplace on a cold night

Recently had dinner here, very good. Started with egg rolls and dumplings (very American choices) with Mai Tai cocktails, then had Scallops with Vegetables, Chow San Shein, and Crispy Beef - all good.This is a basic suburban Chinese restaurant. We found the food well-prepared, service is OK/normal.Parking is an issue here because there seems to be some kind of border war going on between neighboring businesses. Threats of being immediately towed are on every sign we saw in the area.We liked the food, service is about the same as in any suburban neighborhood restaurant, parking situation is annoying. Give this place a try...though watch where you park.

Some food writers write about the best hamburger, or the best pizza, or the best crabcake in area restaurants. In my case, I love the Singapore rice noodle dish among all Chinese dishes. Thought I'd try their version. It was such a disappointment. Their dish contained mostly the rice noodle, with very little add-ons: some shrimp, green peppers, and sliced onions. Ate just a few bites and brought the dish home. Added some chicken and more sliced onions to make it fuller in taste. Have had better.
