Goodie's Cafe

As a new resident of the Gambrills/Crofton, I was in the hunt for a go-to a Chinese takeout spot and found it here. It's a a cool family-owned business that has never disappointed over the last few months and the food is always relatively quick. (But as a native DC girl, I will say it's not like the DC carryouts I know and love but it does offer up good Chinese! So don't come with the DC carryout experience in mind or you may not enjoy it)Here is what I've tried in the past:- Salt and Pepper Shrimp: It's a fried shrimp with sauted onions and jalapeños. Never seen this on a Chinese food restaurant but it's one of my favorites from here. Definitely worth a try!- Orange Chicken: The chicken is a big size, flavorful, and not overly orangey. Good choice!- General Tso chicken: Never a complaint when ordering this! - Singapore Noodles: Another good choice if you like curry noodles- Egg rolls: Good thought it maybe had like one shrimp in it that was cut kinda big (versus shrimp throughout) but still good! - Combination Lo Mein: The is the stand out dish from my experiences here! I'm not usually a huge Lo Mein fan but I love theirs! The noodles are saucey without being overly saucey and it's packed with meats.

This is my new favorite Chinese Restaurant in the Bowie/Crofton area. The service is exceptional with a warm welcoming upon entering the establishment. The place is clean and very organized. The place smells clean, which can be off putting for some restaurants. The food is delicious, hot, fresh, and cost efficient. We ordered Szechuan Shrimp, which was delicious with fresh shrimp and perfect sized peppers, onions, and spice. Shrimp and Beef Lo Mein, which had perfect al dente noodles and loaded with lots of shrimp and beef. The portions are plentiful and served in nice containers.

Finding good Chinese food in the Gambrills area has become increasingly difficult. We recently watched our favorite carry-out go under new management (though the new people swear nothing has changed, except where did all the old staff go?). They now no longer deliver and the food we got from here on 2 occasions was horrible. We would order Chinese like 2 times a month. It's always been a family favorite. Now we've MAYBE had it twice in the last year. When things were going good, we would occasionally try another spot just to see what else was in the area, but we were regularly disappointed. So by the time Hong Kong Gourmet collapsed, we already knew that we weren't crazy about the other spots in the area.We've always known about Goodie's Cafe, but it's a little far for us to make last minute plans for and we're outside of their delivery zone. My wife and I came here to check them out the other day for lunch. We had the time, and had been really looking for some good food. This location didn't disappoint. My wife got the General Tso's shrimp and I got a Cheesesteak, and 1/2 & 1/2 (I know, but a good carryout cheesesteak can't be beat). The staff was friendly and the food was solid. I can't wait to come back and try more. My only gripe is that they have pictures of food on the monitor display that the lady said they didn't sell and i didn't see on the menu. Maybe we miscommunicated, but either way i'm gonna come back to update. I'm hoping this can at least be an every now and then spot for me to get my fix.

Yes, not wanting to cook on a Friday evening I took the recommendation of someone who said that this was the best Chinese food in the area. It is right off of 30 one in a strip mall area so easy to find there was plenty of parking.It's a very casual set up. It is only takeout. There is a printed paper menu and someone standing at a patio table, taking orders with another person behind the counter taking phone orders.I got two eggrolls and the Singapore noodles.Yes, the eggrolls or just basic eggrolls. Definitely came out of a case and dropped in some oil. Nothing special just a basic. The Singapore noodles were somewhere between bad and awful. It said spicy, but these were outrageously, spicy and spicy in a way that it doesn't feel like they were properly mixed or stirfried, because they were hotter sections than others other than the spice. There wasn't much flavor. the noodles were very dry . I took a few bites and force myself to eat some because I was so hungry, but I just couldn't finish it.They seem pretty popular, so maybe I caught them on a bad day or when their best chef was not working, I might try them one more time, but I'm not highly motivated to do so based on my experience

Monique was a nice little takeout spot in Crofton right beside monies and liquor store. The food was good and the service was pretty fast. I could see myself going back.

This place is to go only! We have been a couple times and it's delicious! The people who work there are nice and it's clean.We have ordered the honey walnut shrimp, green beans and chicken in a brown garlic sauce (spicy), pork dumplings, crab rangoons, and sesame chicken. It was all delicious and tasted as expected. The spice on the green bean chicken was perfect, not too hot. The veggies were fresh and not soggy. We will definitely be back to try more!

My friends and I ordered food togo from Goodies the other day. It was my 1st time eating their food. Webordered ahead and our order was ready right on time, that's a plus. The food was hot, that's a plus, the price quantity ratio was good, that's a plus, staff was friendly, always a plus, I had the Thai noodles which I thought were good as well as my friends, that's a plus. The egg rolls left a little to be desired. They were hudge but dry, not a plus. Overall I would give Goodies another try. I heard the Singapore noodles were good but spicy.

I had to stop eating to come write a review. I've been wanting to try this place for a while because of the reviews. But, I've always been skeptical because Chinese food isn't usually my go-to unless I'm truly craving it. And if I'm craving it, I'd rather not take a chance on my money or appetite so I typically go with something else. Today i took a chance, and I'm so glad i did! Not only did i order from here....i ordered delivery!!! My food was still hot, and the crab rangoons (which i was most worried about), were still crispy!! Portions, flavor, packaging, all on point!!! I've found a new spot to support! Give them a try

Chinese food good, American food not so much, wings looked re-fried, French fries were over cooked. Beef and Broccoli was great, and shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg rolls were good. Service is fast for the crowd they get, recommend calling in your order.

One of my favorite places to go for General Tso chicken and vegetable lo mein. I also enjoyed their salt and pepper shrimp. The food always tastes fresh. The place is clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Definitely my go to carry out for Asian food.
