My current favorite among local dim sum joints is Fortune, on Route 7
in Bailey's Crossroads, right next door to Joe Theismann's.  It's a
big place, so you want to be seated as close to the kitchen door as
possible, and the wait is quite long on weekends, but the preparation
is excellent.  Their old chef, I am told, has opened a place of his
own somewhere in Wheaton that's even better, but I haven't checked up
on that yet.

Let me sneak in another plug...if you DO go to Fortune, stop in at the
Samadi Sweets Cafe in the same shopping center.  It will change your
life.  Maybe.

Since Fortune is out of the way for me, I usually end up at China Chef
in Wheaton, which is somehow connected to the Dynasty, just down the
street.  Then there's always the pioneering Tung Bor, which has just
never been the same since they moved into Wheaton Mall proper.

Haven't really tried (or seen) any noodle joints around this area.
You might try a Pho (Vietnamese beef-noodle soup) restaurant; I prefer
one in Northern VA whose name I've forgotten just now, but the two in
Langley Park on 193, Pho 75 and Pho something else, are passable.
