39 Best Chinese Restaurants near Chesterfield

“Wow! This place is amazing. Now for me, when I say amazing in regards to restaurants it is normally always weighted about 75% directly towards the only reason I am there, The Food. This small place has been tucked in beside a Food Lion at a strip mall and slinging rice for over 25 YEARS! But unlike so may other oriental establishments, they have been working on the food and got it right!! But more on that in a minute.

After 25 years, it was finally time for a Make-Over. And I don't mean just replacing the nasty peice of hanging plastic across the counter like they have at banks. Or cleaning the glass on the old washed out colored pictures of the food dishes plastered all over the walls which still leave you wondering if that green stuff is broccoli or a fuzzy catapillar. I'm talking about making a space that is honest to goodness CHILL!

Several super call-outs. The huge matching pictures on the walls immediately start to fill you will a sense of peace and being relaxed. The lighting is not overwhelming but still allows you to see what you're eating. The truly nice touch is that even the design and color of the hanging lamp shades match the color and design of the wall pictures to multiply the atmosphere of the space. Very calming. A new addition to the dining room is the heated buffet table for their lunch crowd. The small mirrors and crushed glass diamond accenting on the buffet table also matches the front service counter. They shared great pride in their long and prosperous cultural heritage along the back wall. Very nice touch while maintaining the gravity of their history.

The Food was amazing! So, full disclosure, I make this statement based on the level of their ability to make the simplest and most fundamental item on their menu. The Fried Rice. Because rice is the foundation of most every dish served, if the fried rice sucks, so does the dish. Why would I care if your Wanton Soup is out of this world if I can't stand your rice. In the case of this restaurant rice pays the bills, not the soup.

The rice was perfect. No hard uncooked grains or dry no-tasting cardboard that no amount of soy sauce could change. They don't normally have bean sprouts in their fried rice but were happy to add them when I asked with no fuss or whinning. So tender that I was actuality able to taste and know I was eating INDIVIDUAL grains of rice and not a bowl of chopped straw or maybe oatmeal. And, everything about my Wife's dish of Sesame Chicken was fantastic. Not a bunch of hard clumps of batter to cover up tiny pieces of chicken.

Great experience. Very kind and attentive server. They were closed for a month or so during the make-over but are now back and open for business. I speak blessings and abundance over them. I invite and challenge you to test my review.

And while you are doing that, ENJOY!

“Had their fried rice with wings and it was by far one of the best meals I’ve had from a takeout place anywhere. Especially a Chinese one. They also have a lot of extra things on display to buy in the lobby area from stuffed animals to electronics to other countless “

“Best chinese food in the area. Lovely folks who run it. portions are generous and always piping hot. Hot and sour soup is wonderful.“

“Fire place 🔥 fresh hot ready to go...you can't go wrong with whatever you order & they have the best deals bang for your buck with quality good food 🙌

A while back I remember! it wasnt like this but they definitely clean house & did a whole 360! They have wonderful staffs / family in here now...I love them ❤️ keep up the wonderful work“

“Overall, the food was ok. However, I was greatly disappointed in seeing shrimp fried rice in my order when I specifically asked for pork fried rice to go with my boneless spare ribs which were kinda mediocre, but my daughters loved them. Fortunately, they were stingy enough on the shrimp where it did not trigger my seafood allergies and the soy sauce definitely helped the rice. Egg was good because my wife liked it. Other than that, the lady was nice. I just know for future visits IF I decide to return, to make sure I am very specific about what I want. The price and helpings were impressive considering how expensive this current orange administration has made the economy, but I digress.“

“The all-day bourbon chicken special ($10.75) is really good. It comes with chicken and fried rice (see photo).

I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but it seems like standard Chinese food fare.

Expect to wait approximately ten minutes if not ordering ahead.“

“I ordered the rib combo and the lady in the store asked could I leave a review so that’s why I’m here but the food is really good and I hope she is satisfied with the review!!!🤣🤣🤣 they aint had a review in 2 months 🤣🤣🤣“

“My food is always fresh and prepared how I like it. They follow instructions. When I ask for extra; I can actually see the extra I am paying extra for lol. I like my shrimp fried rice packed with shrimp and it always is. They could use a storage for the items they have in the waiting area but other than that great service, always friendly and upbeat! One of two chinese places I go too and its always my 1st option.“

“First and foremost, the person that took my order was very courteous. I ordered chicken wings and fried rice and sat no longer than 15 minutes before my order was ready. The wings were fried perfectly and you can't go wrong with fried rice; delicious. Thank you“

“Handmade spring rolls and wantons... this place will ruin every other Chinese place. It's Atypical, the family makes FOOD. I just had a spiritual experience with spring rolls, wanton soup (I'm telling you... it's unusually good wanton soup) and the white meat sesame chicken. 5 stars just bc there aren't 6.“

“The steamed dumplings one of my favorite dumplings. You can tell it's a family recipe and their custom dumpling sauce is addictive.

Even though I moved away from the restaurant a while ago. I'll order two sets of dumplings for myself and a third one to play distraction so no one knows I have two sets of secret dumplings to keep all to myself.

They still taste just as amazing from when I tried them in 2014 to present day“

“This is my favorite local Chinese food spot. I prefer it to the others around it. My go to meals are the beef and broccoli, chicken wings, or pork fried rice. Really just about anything they fry is really good egg rolls, chicken, scallops, you name it.“

“Very good service very good food I highly recommend them never had any issues great place to eat thanks so much“

“The only place in the greater Richmond area that give you want you order. Not something like the dish.. not something that is based on the dish.. no something that only looks good but lacks taste.. NO. This place is no gamble..it is great every time.“

“We have been eating there for 30 plus years and the food is delicious. Great service and the food is served hot . Our favorite place to go. I do like the old atmosphere better. Don't care for the streamline updates. I guess we were used to the other decor. Highly recommended.“

“fried dumplings and shrimp were good, but the roasted duck was very dry and I would not order it again.“

“I just got the lunch special shrimp fried rice, and I must say it was good. Just one complaint - the shrimps were miniatures. I was thinking it was because this was the lunch special. If they offer or put bigger shrimp in the dish this would easily get a 5 rating. Other than that, I gladly recommend!“

“I went here last weekend due to the fact that me and my mom were looking for a sit down Chinese restaurant, I’m very impressed with this place the food was good and the service was even better, this might become our new sit down as well as Chinese takeout spot. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a 3, was simply due to the fact that our shoes were sticking to the carpet….yuck….but to be honest the place could use a renovation and get rid of that 90s carpet, other than that, great food and great service. This a must try for sure!“

“I'm not gonna lie but this is some of the best Chinese food I've eaten in RVA. The shrimp fried rice is fire, Mei Fun 🔥, and the chicken wings are crispy. Smh this my new spot for sure. The food was fresh. Also we ordered the general tso chicken which was amazing 🔥. 10/10 definetly recommend. Also, grab you a iced tea yerppppp thanks for the great food. I'll be back lol“

“We were staying at LA Quinta (5 mins away) and stopped in for takeout. Reminded me of a mom and pop deli converted into Chinese restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. Bourbon chicken and broccoli could feed 3 people. Lo mein, fried rice, wonton soup was amazing. I will be getting a to-go box every time I drive north on i95. 6 minutes off the highway. Much Love from South Florida!“

“I've been to, and reviewed dozens of Chinese-shops and found that they all lacked in one area or another, bringing their overall total score to an all-new high with Fu Wah, 5-stars is all I can give for perfect rice, egg-roll (unlike any other restaurant), crab-rangoon (with the cream-cheese portion-size being absolutely top-notch), General Tso's (which is by far the most revealing reason to come-back here)!For the first time, I have not had a headache from dehydration thanks to the excellent quality food-service Fu Wah has provided!Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU!“

“It's a little ugly and I hate the look of their wall of protection. Decent amount of food for the cost. I got the egg drop soup with dumplings. Decent ingredients but they flavor it for white people (I am one). Add some heat! Don't know if you can ask for it spicy or just have to add packets of sauces yourself. I would prefer the first choice. Uncle Roger would have some naughty words to say about the lack of seasoning.“

“Food was fabulous !! We enjoyed it all !“

“Crazy how the reviews are so different. I have been getting food from here for years and have never had a bad experience with the food or anything. Food and customer service has always been good for me. Bourbon Chicken and/or Black Pepper Chicken is what I get 80% of the time. Everything else I have tried has been good also. Im 44 years old and this chinese place has been open at that location ever since I can remember as a kid. It would not be open serving food for them many years if it wasnt good food. Im sure some if not alot of these people that has posted that they have had a bad experience and food was probably rude, disrespectful or acting a fool themselves is why they got what they got for food and service. That has got to be the reason for the difference in the reviews is people disrespect and be a fool and expect to be treated with respect.“

“This is my second visit and I must say I’m pleased. The service was pleasant, each time I was greeted with a smile and service was fast. My typical order is broccoli with brown sauce and an order of wings. Would definitely recommend and will continue to order from Triple Eight 2💕“

“Fav place, GREAT Chinese food & I’m picky!“

“Vegetarian options: So many great options of vegan food

Kid-friendliness: Lot of nice kids meals and room for kids to move around in

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access to exit in entrance to the restaurant“

“I always come here. I know my food is going to be right, not take too long and delicious! I always get Chicken W/mixed veg and General TSO's. Occasionally I'll do the chicken wings (crispy-- they get me right every time) 10-15 min tops for takeout and short time for delivery as well. The service is always pleasant and welcoming. If it's something I need or want for my order, they always accommodate. Will always continue to go here. Thank you“

“I have been a loyal customer of this Panda Express for 6+ years now, and they never disappoint. However, today’s visit was something special. The food was great as always, but took an extra 5 minutes to prepare. Noticing my parties wait, Michael stepped up to the plate and provided exceptional hospitality and customer service. I will be returning and I hope to see Michael again!“

“Today I came for the third time to this restaurant, I like to order sweet and sour because the sauce is perfect, today I ordered sweet and sour pork and it was delicious.

The girl who helped me was very friendly and the waiting time was exactly what she indicated. As for the atmosphere, I think they should fix it up a little so that it doesn't look like a restaurant that is about to close, but the food is excellent, my order today was very well seasoned and not at all tasteless like others places.

Parking: Big parking lot

Kid-friendliness: No, only pick up.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

“I recently ordered the firat time here and got the scallop meal from How Wah Chinese Restaurant, and while the scallops were absolutely amazing perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I was a bit disappointed that the fries were missing from my order. The portion size also felt more like a kid’s meal than a full entrée. That said, the quality of the scallops really stood out, so I’m willing to give them another try and hope for a better experience next time.“

“Best Chinese food in the area. Ignore all of these negative reviews clearly written by the same person. If you don't like the people working there then order online like a normal person (we have not had any issues with the staff). The food is always delicious and it's reasonably priced.“

“I've been eating here for years and years. Best chicken wings of anywhere. Friendly people, good food, close to home! I couldn't ask for more!

Well, things change including (I think) ownership and/or cooks. I hadn’t been in for several years, so I went in for some comfort food. One of items I got, the egg drop soup, tasted of sesame oil so strongly it was actually unpleasant. I was so disappointed.“

“I have been eating here for about 15 years and the food is consistently good. The ladies that work here are always very nice and even remember what I always order.“

“They ran out of black pepper chicken,didn't have enough to fill my order,asked if I wanted teriyaki chicken to mix with it,I had a $70 order,I was feeding alot of children,so i had to take the substitution and the staff was nice and polite.“

“Reviews are a bit harsh. I’ve ordered from here 3 times now & it is the closest to New York Chinese food I’ve tried since moving here.
Still on the hunt, but this is the only restaurant I’ll order from, in the meantime.
(Usually get boneless spare ribs with fried rice)“

“I’ve had takeout for many years. They remember me every time. My orders have been served fast, delicious, and fresh. I love the Chicken and Broccoli. Tops in Colonial Heights is my go to restaurant for Asian food. The lady at the front counter taking orders is always pleasant.“

“Ate here with the Missus yesterday. Food was good and decent. Not super amazing but not bad either, it’s very much what you’d expect from your local Chinese style buffet.

The interior could be cleaner. From the booth that we were sat at, we could see the empty boxes for the drinks. Diners shouldn’t have to see that. Apart from some interior tidying, we had a good experience.“
