Eastern Carryout

I’ve been eating here for 7 years. The Hot and Sour soup is my favorite. Fried chicken wings and Mombo sauce is always on point and a local favorite.
I was checking when they opened today for my weekly norm and am shocked there are so few reviews!
Yes there are many Carryout Asian spots in my area of Silver Spring but I’ve ALWAYS have been 100% delighted with the food quality… service…prices and portions. I’ll add a picture just as soon as they open!

I moved to the neighborhood recently and have been ordering from various local Chinese restaurants to find a good delivery joint. I called in for delivery at Eastern Carryout and ordered a standby favorite of crispy beef for my significant other.
The order took over an hour to arrive when I only live a ½ mile from the restaurant. When the food finally arrived, we had to reheat it in the microwave. Although reheating the food couldn’t have helped its texture, the crispy beef had a mealy texture that made it seem like we were eating more fried batter than beef.
This establishment has been removed from my local delivery options.

There’s a number of places to eat close to my apartment but Eastern Carryout is where I wound up getting my dinner from tonight.
I was famished. Starvin’ like Marvin. Desperate. It was 9:30 I hadn’t eaten dinner yet. I had a long ride (Metrobus/​rail) home after working late in order to meet a deadline. I got off the Ride-​on bus on Piney Branch Road and stumbled into Eastern Carryout. I wasn’t sure what to get when I spotted my old buddy Kung Pao Chicken. I tried to fight it but deep down in my heart I knew who I’d be taking home with me tonight.
I paid my $ 9 for KPC and his pals Fried Rice and Egg Roll. I carried the box home in both hands. It was heavy. I wasn’t sure the bag would support mi amigo’s weight and didn’t want him to wind up as bird food. I dug in as soon as I got home.
Oh, that was good. Just what I needed. The sauce was spicy and just the right consistency and I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow night. I can’t vouch for the rest of the menu but the meal I had tonight was very good.

Just another random carryout with the same uninspired fare and plenty of local riff raff that you would find in carry outs anywhere in locations that could be considered unsavory by some…
The chicken wings aren’t terrible and that’s about it…
at least they speak some semblance of English.
