Szechuan Restaurants near Arlington, VA

“Been dining at this location since they opened in March 2015 and I wanted to leave my first review. This is the best Chinese restaurant, and one of the best restaurants in general, in the DMV.
Mr. Chang is from the Hubei province of China and became a master chef of Hubei cuisine, a different style of cuisine than Sichuan, but he learned Sichuan through his experience cooking alongside Sichuan chefs and doing his own research when he still lived in China. To me and many others who are from this area, Peter Chang is an icon and a living legend. Every restaurant he opens is of equal high quality, but I still prefer this location over all the others. If you’re deciding if you want to come try it don’t hesitate, just do.

Favorite items to order:

Grandma noodles
Scallion bubble pancake
Crispy pork belly
Bamboo fish
Fried eggplant

Mongolian beef
golden mountain chicken
Pork ribs
mapotofu
three pepper beef
sichuan chicken
I know it’s basic but the lo mein is the best here.“

“My husband and I have been dining in or placing a take out at least once a month at Peter Chang McLean for the past year and a half! We were so excited to finally find a chinese restaurant that is somewhat formal and provide good quality ingredients! I'm super picky with my meat (the , but the fresh meat, vegetables, and other ingredients truly satisfy my particular self. They never disappoint with the quality of the food and the temperature! We have tried at least 80% of their menu items, including the AYCE lunch menus, and our go-to items are: pan seared shrimp dumplings, dragon garlic spicy eggplants, singapore curry noodles, shrimp lo mein, spicy dry fried bamboo fish, numbing green peppercorn flounder, sesame chicken (it's online, not in the menu), and spicy kong pao chicken. The waitstaff and manager are all so nice in addition to the great food! We will continue to go back and we're so happy people are finding a good quality chinese food!“

“Absolutely delicious food! I first came here six years ago for my husband’s birthday after hearing about the restaurant from a foodie. It’s an unpretentious spot with incredibly good food. We ordered 10+ different dishes that first time and loved everything, especially the dan dan noodles and the pork bun. Nothing can ever compare to their Dan Dan noodles no matter how many times we order them from different restaurants!

We moved far away after a few years, but when we came back to visit friends this month, this was the first restaurant we wanted to return to. The food was just as delicious as it was six years ago. Highly recommend!“

“This restaurant has the best Orange Chicken I've ever had! Although it looks like a lovely place to eat, I've only had carryout from this restaurant, and the service as a carryout customer has been great!“

“Great meal - especially for those all day dim sum dumpings. Food is great - service sadly not so much but still worth it! Staff is really rude til they give you the bill which is extremely reasonable, they squish you into tables with bars that hit your shins too, tables of 6-10 be mindful of that! Otherwise excellent food just waited awhile for service and again they were ride literally hit my head with plates or elbows from behind without warning. Still love it.lol we all laughed sooo hard when 5 of my boys ordered a drink (soda/lemonade) which came
in a bottle and to go my son whom previously ordered water, ordered a soda to go thinking it to would be a bottle to go arrived in a cup full of ice!!! We all died laughing-the look of shock and disappointment was hysterical! Great food, and great price. Just watch where you sit at the folding tables - especially if you’re tall like all of us.

Our precise experience was better - food arrived they let us know and moved the lazy Susan accordingly.“

“I visited RH this past Monday afternoon and had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious and was served quite quickly. For those who care, their service was terrific. Our server was very patient with all my questions and gave excellent recommendations. Everything he suggested was tasty! I highly recommend checking out this new Chinese restaurant and would be back soon to try other dishes.“

“Ordered thru grub hub.Triple delight; two shrimp, lots of chicken and beef. Carrots, broccoli, cabbage, snow peas in brown sauce. Two egg rolls. Crispy shredded beef with vegetables. Yu ling duck with brown drippings. Food could have used more seasoning. I will reorder.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go for the food, stay for Oscar!
Big Wong is a must-visit, especially if Oscar is working. He’s hilariously goofy and kept us smiling the entire meal—the guy is pure good vibes.
He served us the pig intestine, and it was surprisingly delicious and super tasty. We’re already craving more! We’ll definitely be back soon to get our fix and hang out with Oscar again. Highly recommend!“
