22 Best Chinese Restaurants in Arlington

“We had the portobello bao bun, pork dumpling, bbq duck, and little pot. Everything was delicious!“

“The fish here is really good—fresh, flavorful, and nicely prepared. The other dishes we tried were also pretty solid. Service was friendly and attentive, and the location is very convenient. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience and a nice place to come with friends or family. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Fantastic business lunch at NiHao! Had a group of four and we were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the efficiency. Every dish we ordered - from the salt and pepper shrimp to the beef chow fun - was fresh, full of flavor, and enough for leftovers. It is great to find a lunch spot that is quick, and reasonably priced.

Our waiter, Scott made the experience seamless. He was on top of everything, guiding us through the menu, keeping our water filled, and clearing dishes quickly so we could focus on our meeting - we were worried that we ordered too much but Scott told us that his mom says “If you go to a Chinese restaurant and don’t have leftovers, you didn’t order enough”. We will be back!“

“Andre was a great server! He was super friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed. He made my experience really enjoyable and provided excellent service. I’ll definitely be back and would love to have him as my server again!“

“This afternoon my mother and I ate at Chiko in Arlington. My mother had smashed salmon. I shared the veggie dumplings with my mother. I had cumin lamb stir fry and iced oolong tea. I liked the cumin lamb stir fry. Glad that this location offers patio seating as the weather outside was warm and sunny. This location is not wheelchair accessible because someone has to pull and push the front door.“

“Highly recommend Bostan Uyghur! We started out by ordering the Eggplant Salad as an appetizer. It came out nice and warm fresh from the stove! With its spices and garlicky flavor, it really hit the mark! We then placed orders for the Chicken Kabab and the Dry Fried Soman noodles with beef. Both were spicely complex and absolutely delicious! Have to make another visit soon!“

“Chinese takeout is quick and convenient, especially if you order ahead. The portions are generous, the employees are friendly, and the prices are fair for Chinese-American food. If you’re looking for a fast and reliable spot for Chinese food, this is one of the best options on Columbia Pike and in the Arlington area. There may be better Chinese restaurants outside Arlington, but for the area, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“Our go to place. Love that the expansion gives us the option to dine in or get delivery!“

“Grand Hunan is a local gem located in the Westover community. I tried a variety of their foods and have always been consistently satisfying. The owner is this local small business is customer friendly and super generous in their portion and always trying to please every order in a personal way. They always tried to accommodate any dietary restriction in addition to their healthy items in their menu. They even catering of any size with generous portion and reasonable price. Highly recommend everyone to give it a try as you won't regret it!“

“Peter Chang is easily one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently amazing, and the service makes the experience even better. I also tried their new milk tea dessert, and it was so good! It had a perfect balance of creamy and sweet with a great milk tea flavor. On top of that, the manager was kind and welcoming, checking in to make sure everything was perfect. I also really liked the new decorations, they make the restaurant feel even more modern, comfortable, and inviting 😊 Great food, amazing service, and an awesome atmosphere, I highly recommend Peter Chang and can't wait to come back!“

“Overall this restaurant is our favorite for Chinese food. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. Recommend the Sweet and Sour Chicken as well as the Kung pao dishes.“

“We have lived here a long time and have yet to find a very good takeout Chinese restaurant in the area. We have had two dinners now with panda bear and I must say they both been outstanding. The food is well presented comes with the proper compliments and is always ready when you get to the restaurant.
We have had a variety of dishes in the two visits And all have been good. We will be making this our first stop for takeout Chinese food going forward“

“The best. Spiciest. Friendly staff. My favorite in the world is their braised beef noodle. Yes 🙌 photo in comments“

“My friend Puppa recommended this place. It was great. The staff was really friendly. And the food was great. They even gave me a plate so I could eat my food. I will definitely come again and recommend this place to everyone!🙂🫠“

“The vegetable spring rolls are excellent here, fresh and homemade. Everywhere else I go I’m disappointing because these are the standard. Consistent for years upon years now. The wonton soup is also excellent.

You can’t beat the price and selection.

I didn’t love that the roast pork with green beans looked like it was deep fried. I would have prefer those to be sautéed. But it was still very good.

Don’t expect great customer service. They are too busy serving the community that floods in every evening. They’re always moving like they are slammed in there.“

“Host Berhan Zerga was an excellent host. Each time I eat at PF Chang, she welcomes me with a beautiful smile and excellent customer sevice. I eat there often because of her. She is also a true team player. Whenever I attempt to give her a tip to her only she always share it regardless of anyone looking or not. She adds much value to the PF Chang family.“

“Today marks my 3rd Uber Eats delivery from here, and it just keeps getting better. I meant to write a review on my 2nd instance, but the food was so dang good and distracted me. This place is always delicious and fresh. Packaged carefully for the delivery, and somehow ALWAYS warm despite being 25 mins away from my apartment. This is my new GO-TO for Chinese delivery. I love the sesame chicken, the crab rangoons, and the crispy beef. Oh, their orange chicken is also a must.“

“I just ordered takeout from China Express for the first time and I am happily surprised! I ordered takeout to pick up on their website where I tipped (you also sign a receipt where it gives you another opportunity to tip, so just decide beforehand how you want to). The website said it would take about 30 minutes for my order to be ready, and it was ready in about 40. I ordered the wonton soup, a side of fried ride, and the hunan beef. I do think that I was given the hunan chicken by mistake, but no complaints because it is quite good. The wonton soup is definitely the star of the show— highly recommend!“

“Very Good. Large portions. Quick service.“

“I have eaten here for 35 years whenever I'm in the area. I love that Good Fortune is still here, though the owners have changed over the years. I'm so glad that they have vegan options now (as I'm now vegan!). They have all the old school, classic Chinese-American dishes but veganized. Very extensive vegan menu. I highly recommend the mock meat options. I like the sesame chicken and the moo shu vegetable with pancakes (but ask for no egg to make it vegan)!“
