One of the best kosher Chinese restaurants I've ever eaten in; scallion pancakes were memorable, and it had a traditional, old-style Cantonese feel. I visited in the winter of 2012, and it was the best kosher restaurant in Baltimore, from my recollection.

This is kosher restaurant which because it kosher it gets away with bad service. I had a take out order I placed and I had to wait about 45 minutes. I paid and when I left and went home I found that they had forgotten to give me all my food. So I called and asked and they said oh yeh you food is here why don't you come and get it. Not even a one sorry just here is you food and that was it. The food ok and the that about it, it is said to say that this place make it because it is inexpensive and decent food but service is bad.

David Chu's is a kosher Chinese restaurant serving predominantly an Orthodox Jewish population. The expansive menu contains a variety of familiar Chinese dishes that will satisfy any customer. I highly recommend their Dinner combo meal. I tried their Orange Chicken and it was so delicious! The chicken was juicy and tender smothered in the most delicious orange sauce. Unlike other Chinese restaurant chains, the quality of the food at David Chu's is excellent. Also, the portions are pretty huge and the restaurant is constantly packed. I'd dine here again.

Love this place! Great Chinese food. A wee bit more expensive than some other places, but worth it. Much better quality. I usually get it as take out, but the restaurant is very nice for a sit-down dinner. Wait staff is very friendly, too. I am a big fan of their chicken lo mein and hot & sour soup.

The Good: Great food. I've had non-kosher Chinese food, and David Chu's is just as good! Their fried rice is great, as are their soups. Even their french fries aren't bad. I've brought plenty of non-Jewish friends here who have loved it. The Bad: I really, really wish that they had a few healthy options. I always leave David Chu's feeling bloated and gross. The sushi isn't gross, it's just not very good. The service is slow, especially if you're with a big group, but if it's just one or two people it's great. Takeout always efficient, though. Beware of going the night before Jewish holidays--it's usually packed. The Ugly: Their parking lot isn't so great, it's only functional and safe if there is only one other car there.

I just moved out to Baltimore a few weeks ago from Owings Mills and had never tried this place. I heard good things from others so I decided to give it a shot. You cannot go wrong with kosher AND Chinese food; two of my favorite things. I couldn't wait to eat! There was ample parking for around lunch time at 1pm. I was told that the lunch special was the way to go. I entered and spoke to the hostess, telling her it was my first time here and that I'd like to see a menu. She obliged and handed me one. The selection and variety on the menu were great and I saw the lunch time special deals. At that point, I decided to take a seat. I was greeted by the busboy as he brought over hot tea and poured water for me. The server stopped over soon after and I ordered the chicken lo mein lunch special. It came with a choice of vegetarian egg roll or soup plus a choice of rice. I decided on the chicken wonton soup which was nice and hot, and white rice. Before the soup was delivered, I received hard noodles, which is another great part of Chinese places. The lo mein and white rice was delicious; although the lo mein didn't have many vegetables, just a lot of onions. The chicken was very tender, not chewy at all. They give you a good sized portion for your money, covering the plate and served with a big spoon. My water glass was also refilled multiple times which shows they pay attention even if it wasn't very busy; so working in a restaurant myself, I was glad to see that. I had no room left for dessert, but did receive my fortune cookie. Overall, I had a good experience; great food and I would definitely return. May even bring a date next time!

Great Kosher Chinese. 90% of the time the food is hot and delicious. It gets really busy after Shabbos, so I would recommend that if you want some get takeout and order early.

A kosher food option in pikesville. We had nice service but the food was lacking. Our pupu platter of assorted rid bits( beef skewers, chicken wings etc) was very overcooked along with my orange chicken. Prices are slightly higher due to the fact that everything is kosher here. I'm going to give this place another try but instead I would recommend fortune China in owings mills( as long as you are not kosher).

The food is good, but often drenched in sauce. I often feel like they are just infecting me with salt, sugar, and msg while I'm there. The duck is the best I've had though. Customer service isn't bad, but I wish they would spruce the place up a bit. It looks like they decorated in the 80s and then never changed anything.

The nicest place you will ever go!!! The food is amazing, the service is like no other, you will not find a place that has better service than David Chu's. They will bend over backward to make sure you are enjoying your meal. Once you've been there a couple of times, they know you by name, and they ask you how you're doing, and the great thing is, they really want to know, they are not just asking to be polite. I would have business meetings there, everything is perfect!!! Thanks David Chu's for having a nice place to eat and enjoy!

Very accommodating - They are normally not open Motzei Shabbos but we were driving by after having gone to another Kosher Chinese Restaurant which was closed. They offered to make take-out food for us. Going the extra mile is what service is about

Came in for lunch with a friend who's raved about this place in the past. I got the mixed veggie lunch for $9, which came with soup and fried rice. The chicken and corn soup isn't bad. The mixed veggies were good, but it was oily. The fried rice was the winner in the line up. Not a bad lunch! The parking however is tight and can be hard to get in and out of.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
