Eddie Leonard Carryout

I've eaten in a fair number of Chinese restaurants as it's my favorite cuisine. I do have some good things to say about this restaurant. I have tried it five or six times now, and I wanted to wait to try several dishes there before writing this review. I hope the owners will pay attention because this place really has great potential. In general, the food is very good or excellent, but a couple of the items are not.The Szechuan Chicken and Chicken with Broccoli are excellent. Singapore Noodles had a good flavor, but a bit over spiced with black pepper. Not with chili/garlic sauce or chili flakes, but overspiced with pepper. (Yes, I know the difference. My boyfriend is a chef), and the dish could use more vegetables. It didn't have any onion at all, which is usually standard with Singapore Noodles. The rice noodles themselves were a bit overcooked. I did like the flavor, though, and it's important to mention it because not all restaurants know how to make Singapore Noodles. Now on to the Orange Chicken. I will say that the sauce was the best I've ever had in my life! The downside is the fried chicken nugget pieces itself. It's 98% breading and only a tiny pencil eraser-sized piece of chicken in the middle of each breaded nugget. If you go ahead and open the nuggets yourself, you'll see that it's a ball of dough dipped in batter and then coated and flour and dipped in batter again. I was truly disappointed in this dish. We became curious and started opening all the nuggets, and many of them had no chicken in the middle. Try it yourself and see. We feel that this was deceptive, and for the price they charge, it really should have had noticeable pieces of chicken in it! This one dish made me very unhappy. I have a funny feeling that the General Tso's Chicken uses the same breaded nuggets, so we won't be ordering that anytime soon either. The Spring Rolls were a complete disappointment. The inside filling was unremarkable and mushy, and the wrappers were cold and soggy. Of at least 15 dishes we've ordered in the past month, we feel that where this restaurant really shines is in most of the main dishes and noodles. We really liked the others, and I have to say that even with a few blerps, all in all, this restaurant might be better than the majority of Chinese restaurants in Upper Montgomery County. I'd love to see them add some items to their menu, such as Cold Peanut Sesame Noodles, Spicy Eggplant in Brown sauce, and Vegetable or Chicken Goyza Dumplings. The prices here are about normal, but the portions could be a bit larger. They're okay, but not generous.. The most important thing is that this place is clean! I mean really clean. On a Friday or Saturday night when it's really busy, you'll be impressed to see the cooks crazily slinging woks, lots of big flames, and you'll agree it's certainly a show! Try Eddie Leonard's Carryout. I think you'll probably like it.

This was delish! I have never thought I'd ever try a Chinese carry-out that tasted authentic, and this place did/does. Let's see, the steamed chicken dumplings was so savory and goes so well with the chili oil. The vegetable Lo Mein and Veg egg rolls were fresh, savory and a small portion Lo Mein was more than enough. The General TSO was decent; the chicken was fine but didn't care much for the fried rice. The delivery was within 45 mins, and the food was in good temp. Yum, yum, thanks !

They are serving turkey sausage in place of a Turkey burger and had the nerve to tell me that is how they serve their turkey burger

A solid take out place. We got delivery from here and I got the general Tso combination special. The egg roll was ok. The fried rice and chicken were great, where the chicken was cooked nicely and the sauce was great. The lo mein was also good without being too salty. I would get takeout from here again.

Simply okay take out food. It was ready in a timely manner. I had the small chicken lo mein.

Recently checked out Éddie Leonard's after not going for many years. The steak and cheese is still good. I was new to dc and this carry out was dinner almost daily. The neighborhood still patronizes the business and the waiting is still the same. Very long. Still good though. Oh... and you have to get the fried chicken wings. I know I know... Unhealthy. But what's a guy to do.

Best General Tso's I've ever had and at such a good price. I ordered delivery and it was delicious.

I'm currently a patient at the Washington Hospital Center that is 5 minutes from this restaurant. A friend ordered a chicken in hot garlic sauce lunch special for me and delivered it. It was very tasty (especially compared to hospital food). The chicken was NOT dry or over cooked. Thanks.

I got take out for a friend in the hospital. He was really happy with it so I'm happy. My pad Thai was not amazing but was still decent, but I did order pad thai at a Chinese joint so that's probably on me.

We decided to try this restaurant, rather than driving to North Bethesda for Chinese and the food was great. Enjoyed Crispy Chicken, fried rice and garlic eggplant. Everything was delicious. Parking it not great but the food was really good!
