11 Best Chinese Restaurants in Richmond

“Amazing noodles! I ordered the special noodle with extra spicy red soup, and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy—not just heat, but real depth. The noodles were chewy and cooked just right, and the portions were very generous. Super satisfying and authentic. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend for spicy food lovers!“

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!“

“I get my lunch takeaways from here. Had a craving for eggplant in garlic sauce. Note: their lunch specials include soup and salad only if you EAT IN. I got an egg roll with my special, so I was happy. Food was hot and yummy, enough left for a light bite at dinner.“

“If you’re looking for a great spot to grab Chinese food in Richmond, V8 Kitchen on Macdonald Ave is definitely worth checking out. My wife and I found this place on Google Maps while looking for something new to try—and we’re glad we did! The photos and menu looked promising, and we were in the mood for a good lunch date.

As soon as we walked in, the lady who took our order greeted us with a warm welcome and helped us feel right at home. She was quick, polite, and made the whole experience feel personal. The place had a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for a casual and relaxing couple’s lunch.

The food? Excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can tell they put care into their dishes, and it shows in the taste. The prices were also really fair for the quality and portion size.

All around, this was a great little food adventure for us. If you're local or just passing through Richmond and want good Chinese food with kind service and a calm vibe, V8 Kitchen is a nice choice.“

“Excellent food in a clean, comfortable, casual setting.y go to place for comfort food close to home. I recommend it to my friends and colleagues.love the Dragon Beef 🥩“

“I'm telling you right now if you like fried rice and chow fun this is the place to come to. It's like six dollars cheaper than most Chinese restaurants. At $10.75 that is a deal these days. It's not super greasy like all the cheap Chinese food out there. This is what Chinese food is supposed to taste like. The rest of the stuff on their menu was great as well but if you're not Chinese, you're not going to know about that food. But I encourage you to try it. It's not super crazy. Basically meat vegetables and rice in a clay pot with a light sauce. and their noodle soups are good too, at like $8.75 a bowl. A lot of Chinese restaurants charge double for that these days.
This is some good quality Chinese food. I know that because I see a lot of old Chinese folks eating here.“

“The owner is super sweet! Did you know they've been here 20 years? I know what their secret is. It's authentically yummy Vietnamese street style food! Everything from banh mi, fresh spring rolls, boba tea, to crepes. This is my favorite quick stop when I'm in the neighborhood.“

“This is my most favorite restaurant. Not only delicious, but also healthy! No deep frying, no greesy dishes, most dishes are steamed, stewed or boiling.
My favorite buns are:
Shepherd Purse with Pork buns
Special Osmanthus fragrance Red Bean Bun
My favorite wonton:

Parking: Has a 17 or 18 stall Tesla Superchargers just off the I80 Central Street off-ramp in Richmond/Albany area. During the day, the parking lot gets very crowded, but mornings and evenings are fine.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ok. Wheelchair ramps outside with handicapped parking in-front. Several times, full with handicapped customers inside.“

“It’s a hole in wall chinese spot in da hood. ITS MY GO TO ALWAYs! My favorite Chow mien, chicken wings, pot stickers, fried fish(not served often), BEEF WITH BROCCOLI ?! Listen, these places are best when the food is just made but worth it. I always get enough for 3 days. The prices are great! The customer service is well…you get over it. It’s like in the city in China town.“
