I would consider Asian Spice Cafe to be a hidden gem for our neighborhood. For one, it has an unassuming appearance tucked away in the corner of Brambleton Town Center. Two, there's no shortage of Asian restaurants in our area so it would just be easiest to order from the closest restaurant for that Asian food craving. In our case, Asian Spice Cafe is within walking distance from us, and I'm happy to say that it's great not just for the location, but because I legitimately think it has some of the best Asian food in our area.My recommendations include the hot and sour soup, the crispy beef, General Tso's chicken, and the chicken with eggplant. The hot and sour soup in particular is very rich in flavor and enjoying it with the accompanying wonton crisps makes it a home run for me. They also have an extensive sushi menu that we haven't tried yet, but we've ordered a few pieces of salmon sushi for our kid and he loved them. Everything is fresh and made to order. They also have some sauces and chili oil on hand to add some extra flavor to your meal.Staff are very kind, patient, and efficient. We always feel welcome here!If there's one thing to ding them on, the interior could use a little bit of polishing up. The tables can feel a bit sticky, the soda fountain and condiment station could be a little tidier, but that's just nitpicking. It appears the vast majority of orders here are take out or delivery, so it's understandable.Overall, I would highly recommend visiting and having a meal here, I'm already looking forward to my next visit!Parking: Plenty of parking, though it can feel a bit tight and crowded around the busier hours of lunch and dinner time.Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly options are available.

Great, cheap food. Finally found good vegetable sushi. $10-20 per person, but you get a LOT of food for it.

They will charge you for a single sauce cup upon pickup even after ordering over $100 worth of food. Decided not to get sauce.

I like their egg rolls and chicken lo mein. Generally fresh and tasty! I rarely eat Chinese food, but when I get a craving, this place is quick and convenient.

In my opinion not a place to go for me. Didn’t feel the authenticity, not so good in the taste either.

This is my go to for Asian food (lunch or dinner). Conveniently located near my house but I have used their delivery service. Wide variety of Asian eats and all taste delicious. Enjoy their Kung Pao selections and their soup selections. Wait time for dine in is quick and again food is delicious. Parking outside restaurant is small (and very tight). Recommend this place for Asian foods.

Used to be awesome. Now, eh. Hole in the wall Chinese food shop. Kind of gross, the tables were sticky, the soda machine was sticky and dirty, and two ladies were making dumplings in the dining area with their bare hands after touching the table, the chairs, etc. Gross.

I was pleasantly surprised to find an authentic Chinese restaurant style in this location. The food was good, not exceptional, but satisfactory. Interestingly, they also serve sushi.

We frequently order takeout. Food is pretty good most days. But the noodles to add in the soup & the fortune cookies are almost always stale.Parking: In the busy shopping center, driving getting to a parking spot can be hazardous.

One of the worst chinese food restaurants in NOVA. All of the crispy chicken dishes are mostly chicken fat and no meat. The peanuts in the Kung Pao are raw, put on top after cooking. Just really bland and poorly prepared all-around.
Excellent food quality and prices. Fast service. Just a great overall Asian restaurant. Lunch specials are great.

We order from this place 2-3 times a month. If we’re in a pinch for dinner and decide to Doordash we often opt for Asian Spice cafe—especially when we’re pressed for time. The food always arrives quickly and our orders are accurate.
