Cathay Gourmet Chinese Restaurant

Food was heavy on the onions and very light on the meat. For $13-$14 on the meet entrees, I expected more. Overall fine if albeit a bit bland. Likely will not order again.

Light on protein and pretty lacking in flavor. Only positives are that service is friendly and prices are good. Fried dumplings are deep fried as opposed to pan fried - to the point they are hard and very chewy. Singapore Street noodles - a dish identified as spicy on the menu had very little curry flavor at all and was definitely not spicy. There is a much better option in the shopping center across Huguenot.

This place has been here for ions and it is still really good and the prices are great! Take out only.

Good service, tasty food, local and convenient I highly reccomend them.

I ordered dinner last night.
I woke up very sick @ 4am.
I went to the hospital at 6am.
Bad food.

Best ever pork egg foo young. Generous portions, delicious sauce.

Absolutely disgusting, and there is no way the facility is sanitary. Never again

BUYER BEWARE!!!! These are not the same owners from say 2000 to 2022... Those folks did right by their customers, these current folks, not so much!! The first time I experienced these folks was in early October 2024. It was evening time, maybe one other car in the parking lot. I placed my order & waited & waited .. about 20 minutes later, the woman apologizes & hands me my food. I was tired, had just gotten off of work & was anxious to get home to return to work the next day, so I was not happy with the long wait! But several weeks later, I went back. This was on a Sunday. I ordered pepper steak, dinner size. The wait was not too long. Once I got to where I was going, I began to eat. I noticed small pieces of meat, but took another couple of bites, & that's when I noticed that there was hardly any meat!! It was enough meat for 4 or 5 mouthfuls!! There was so much rice & onions left that I just looked at it & wondered what can I do with all of it. I ended up having to stop at the store to buy meat to add to the rice! Unreal!! I just called them today & told them & she made excuses, did not try to offer a half off deal or anything the next time. I told her that I would do a review & will not return!! I read some other reviews & if I saw the one about roaches, I would not have gone there in the first place!! The taste of the food is nothing to rave about anyway! This place sucks now!!!

The take out is super good. I live in NJ and go to Va. very often. Being near NYC I know Chinese food. This is excellent. Fresh and truely yummy and great value for the price. On top of all that the service is great and super friendly. They smile and are very nice and that alone makes me come back often. Inside is not beautiful to eat in but for take out it is the best in Richmond and I am a picky eater. Five stars for sure. Go and see, it is super.
