Best Chinese Lunch Specials in Rockville, MD: Under $12 Combos & Szechuan Specials
Finding a fresh, satisfying weekday lunch under $12 in Montgomery County has become increasingly rare. At China Jade in Derwood, Maryland, our weekday lunch special remains one of the best dining values in the Rockville and Gaithersburg region.
Served every Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, every single lunch special provides a complete four-part meal prepared hot to order in our wok kitchen—giving working professionals, medical staff, and local residents a delicious, high-quality midday meal without the high price tag.
What Is Included in Every China Jade Lunch Special?
Unlike fast-casual chains that charge extra for sides and drinks, every China Jade lunch combination comes standard with four components:
1. Your Choice of Fresh Entrée
Choose from over 30 traditional Sichuan specialties or beloved Chinese-American classics cooked fresh to order in high-heat woks.
2. Savory Rice
Served with our signature pork fried rice seasoned with egg and scallions, or fragrant steamed jasmine white rice.
3. Crispy Golden Egg Roll
Hand-rolled in our kitchen and fried to a blistered, golden-brown crunch filled with savory pork and fresh vegetables.
4. Hot Daily Soup
Your choice of our tangy, peppery Hot and Sour Soup or our comforting, velvety Egg Drop Soup.
