37 Best Chinese Restaurants near Dale City

“Do everyone know prices are high enough without them asking gor a tip for delivery
A tip - let me explain, is extra for doing a good job (you're not suppose to ask for it!)
It's up to the person paying
I don't like being asked it's like begging and you don't have to give one it seems they think you do I think I'll just drive next time

“This is the best Chinese food in the area. No where else compares. They will customize dishes for you to your liking with spice level which I personally appreciate. Their General Tso Chicken is the best I’ve ever had. Every other place has just heavy, soggy breading but this place is crisp and tangy. I also think the price is very reasonable along with their portions. This is the only place I will go to for Chinese food. It’s a classic and it’s been around for decades.“

“I almost didn’t walk into Hunan Taste. When I saw pho on the menu, I hesitated. I know pho. I’ve had it done right, and when a Chinese place throws it on the menu, it usually means they’re trying to be everything to everyone.

But I’m glad I went in.

I ordered what I always judge a place by — roast pork and lo mein. If you can’t get that right, nothing else matters. The roast pork was legit. Flavorful, not dried out, not that bland filler meat some of these pop-up spots use. Mix it with the lo mein? That’s a winning combination every time.

Then came the egg roll. Not a spring roll. A real egg roll. Thick wrapper, crispy, hearty filling.

But what sealed it for me was the mustard. Homemade Chinese mustard — the real deal, the kind that clears your sinuses and lets you know someone back there cares.

If you’re in Springfield and you want solid Chinese food, this is a good spot. I’ll be back.“

“Ordered takeout from here several times. Good portions and food is freshly cooked and piping hot! Angie at the register is friendly and courteous and sometimes puts extra things like mints or stickers in your order! 😊
They are mostly a takeout place, but also have 2-3 tables if you want to dine in.“

“What a fun place! They have all sorts of models of anime characters and other pop culture stuff on the counter and on some shelves. Cool decor. Very clean! Great little extras, like homemade lemonade and homemade Arnold Palmer’s. Finally, delicious food! Highly recommended!“

“Great food by superb Chef. He's been there for many years. I've had many of us dishes and all scrumptious! Delicious Healthy Menu food too.“

“When I came in I was greeted very warmly by a lady and she helped me to order food since it was my first time at this restaurant. The food prices are so affordable and the taste is so immaculate🤤 after I got my food the lady made sure everything was to my liking. The food came out very quickly which was really nice! If you’re seeing this review please come and try the crab rangoons here!!! It was one of my favorites along with their fried chicken.. SO GOOD!!!“

“I'm so happy I found this restaurant! The service was friendly, prices were outstanding especially with how much food you get! The other reviews about having leftovers weren't lying. The food was delicious and chicken was real chicken, not just stringy pieces like you'll get other places.“

“I only make it a point to leave reviews when it is absolutely called for, and this is one of those 'golden' times. ;)

The outstanding customer service I received at Golden Restaurant truly deserves to be highlighted. On an especially hot day, I walked in and was immediately offered a cold bottled water—completely free of charge. It was such a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the rest of my visit.

When I called ahead to place an order for shrimp fried rice with customization (no msg, light on the soy sauce, very little oil), they listened intently and even repeated my requests so I can verify. Lo and behold, they delivered exactly what I asked for—the dish was cooked perfectly to my liking!

It’s rare these days, especially at a mostly pick-up-style restaurant, to find staff who are not only helpful but genuinely considerate and accommodating. The quality of service here goes far beyond expectations. I’ll definitely be returning—and recommending them to friends and family. Service like this deserves to be recognized!“

“My family’s been coming to Empire for the last 20 years, even after we moved 30 min away, this is still our primary Chinese takeout spot. My biggest mistake was not leaving this review sooner. Food is always great, incredibly quick. Sure, prices have gone up but food cost doesn’t just affect consumers, it affects businesses too, so while not ideal, I get it. Yesterday, my buddy and I ordered some food for carry out on our way out of his storage unit. Come to find out, if you don’t leave by 9pm, they lock you in, literally. I called Empire back to tell them of the situation, and without hesitation, they offered to bring our food to us at the storage unit despite being 5 minutes to closing by the time we figured out that the police officer’s code wasn’t going to work (we thought we were gonna have to stay the night). Not only that, when he realized our situation, he went back out to a gas station to get us utensils to eat our food there *and* got us 2 drinks. We ended up getting out very shortly after, but it really stuck in my head that this is one of the nicest things a complete stranger has done for me. I didn’t need any other reason to keep coming to Empire, but this validates my love for this place and the people that run it. The best part is the food was still warm when we made it back home. Can’t thank the Empire team enough. 👍“

“Top China is not my normal Chinese place - I have been a Sampan faithful since before Top China opened. However Sampan is closed on Mondays (currently) and I was at Pitkins so I stopped in and ordered the General Tso Chicken lunch special takeout (currently $10.75 with tax). I was pleasantly surprised with everything (chicken, fried rice, egg roll) - it was delicious.“

“We have been going to Hunan Garden since they opened many years ago. They never let us down when we order. They always have great food and great service (back when we ordred by phone they knew what we wanted just by our phone# on their caller ID). Such a great place to eat.“

“I noticed this place hasn’t gotten a review in a while and I was wanting some Asian food. I was pleasantly surprised due to how fresh the food tasted. Usually you can taste something has been sitting but this was really good. Will definitely go again. Most importantly the prices are perfect.“

“I don't usually write reviews but I must say despite being a bit unassuming at first glance, this is one of the best meals I have had since moving to the DMV area almost a year ago. Absolutely delicious bulgogi and sides, and a good value at that. It's a bit of a drive for me but I need to go back!! Highly recommended.“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but Mandarin Court inspired me in the same way a flat tire inspires you to learn how to change one — out of necessity… except this time, it was a pleasant surprise necessity.

This was, without question, one of the most unexpectedly memorable Chinese food experiences I’ve had.

The General Tso’s chicken was impressively subtle and balanced — a culinary achievement, really, considering the dish is normally known for being overpowering. It had that comforting, reheated-in-the-best-way feel, like leftovers that somehow taste even better the next day. They even served it in the same container it was warmed in, which honestly made it feel cozy and unpretentious — like eating something straight from the kitchen before it even has time to cool down.

The fried rice was… unique. Not your standard heavy, greasy version — more like a time capsule of classic takeout flavors. It felt intentional. Retro, even. The fried beef? Minimalist. Deep-fried breading with just enough beef inside to keep you guessing. Calling it “fried beef” might undersell the artistry. “Breaded air sticks with beef rumors” still applies — but in that avant-garde, less-is-more kind of way.

Food aside, the aesthetics of the place give off strong “no-frills, all-focus-on-the-food” energy. The floors and simple interior lean lived-in rather than flashy, and the cool dining room temperature? Let’s call it invigorating. Like a bus stop in January — but you’re waiting for something worth it.

I went in thinking, “How bad could it be?” and left thinking, “Well… that was definitely an experience.”

Would I recommend it? If you appreciate character, commitment to simplicity, and a dining story you won’t forget — absolutely.“

“This is my typical go to Chinese place. The food is good, the service is fast, the price is affordable, and the people are very nice. The place looks a little run down (so 4 starts for atmosphere) but I don't really care as I typically do take out anyways.“

“The Kung Pao Chicken here is absolutely delicious! 🐔🌶️
Perfectly cooked chicken, flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of spice — every bite is full of authentic taste. The presentation is beautiful too! Highly recommend trying this dish 👌✨“

“Excellent food and service!!!!!!“

“Had a little problem getting my delivery order ( Doordarshan sucks) A bit later I received a call, the owner heard about my issue and wanted to make it right. He went above and beyond to guarantee my satisfaction. L He heard of my problem and went out of his way to make sure I had a hot delicious meal. Most companies don't care but this one is on another level. Many thanks Hunan Star!“

“Highly recommend!! Been coming to China House since I moved to Virginia from New York. From all the Chinese food I've tasted here, this is the closest to the New York taste. It's like I'm back home! The food and prices are great!

Parking: Located in shopping strip mall. Plenty of parking.“

“I order lunch from here frequently because it is right next to my office building. They have the best Hot and Sour Soup I've found in the area. Steamed rice is super fluffy and no overcooked. Crab Rangoon is delicious! Delivery is super quick, too. Definitely recommend!

Vegetarian options: Hot and sour soup is great!“

“Delicious lunch, everything we had was good: dumplings, ramen, Panang curry were excellent. Fast and friendly service. Decor is nice and comfortable. The music was a bit too loud and uncensored (we visited on a Sunday at lunchtime). Will definitely be back to try more items from the menu!“

“It was my first time… and I was craving some Chinese food. Seems like your typical strip mall Chinese food, but the food is prepared quickly and is exceptionally tasty! Additionally, the service is, in my particular instance, very kind and considerate! I’ll definitely go back when the craving hits!“

“This place needs to be protected at all cost! Family run restaurant and they work very hard for over 15 years! They have great food, I love the general Tso chicken, chicken broccoli, lo mein, etc. i tried almost every food on the menu!“

“Carry out dinner , tasty fresh ginger beef, sweet and dour chicken, orange beef, and chicken satay have graced our orders. Always so tasty! :) Agree takes longer than told, and that crispy orange beef is delicious but not necessarily crispy meat, but golly it is so good! Atmosphere fine for take-out. Many yummy dishes. Have not tried the burgers or Thai dishes, I think included so that nearby businesses have great options. Have been there three times, all different entrees and appetizers. . :) 😋“

I look forward to returning to explore more of their menu in the future.

Kid-friendliness: The service at Montclair Chinese Cuisine was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were more than willing to offer recommendations based on my preferences, enhancing the overall dining experience.“

“I've ordered from here twice for delivery (using their website) and it's been a great experience both times. I have no idea how they get it done and to us so fast! I get a few different things and everyone tries a bit, so 2-3 dishes are really enough for our family of two adults and four kids.“

“If I could give 10 Stars I would!!! Manager KJ defines Customer satisfaction which is really rare nowadays. It was close to their closing time and he saw us and a line of customers behind us. He asked us what we were craving and started cooking our choices. Best Panda Express In town!“

“Peking duck was perfect!“

“Crispy shredded beef and Kung Pao chicken were tasty. General Tso's shrimp had so much breading on it that I had a hard time finding the shrimp. I would not recommend this dish unless you mostly want fried bread. I asked for medium spicy and the dishes were mild. The portions were very generous as we have left overs. The delivery from the time I ordered took a total of 55 minutes. I like supporting local business and will try other dishes from them.“

“Came here for the first time today. Prices are fairly better than most Chinese carryouts. I ordered the lunch special of General Tso chicken. Got a steak n cheese egg roll and some lady chicken fingers? Everything taste good , only thing is that the mumbo sauce is too watery.“

“Food was super fresh and delicious curious staff quick service . 5 ***** stars !!“

“We love Beijing Tokyo and come here (or order delivery) at least once a month! My personal favorites are the Beef Sticks and Jumbo Shrimp in Creamy Sauce — so good every time. My kiddo always goes for the Wonton Soup, and their fried rice and sushi are also excellent. You really can’t go wrong here.

They’re also very family-friendly, which makes dining in easy and enjoyable with kids. Delivery always arrives hot and fresh, and when we eat at the restaurant, the service is consistently great. It’s one of our go-to spots and we highly recommend it!“

“I have never ordered from this establishment. Since (YOUNG CHOW) closed in Manassas years ago, it's been hard to find good tasty Chinese food. The guy who took my order was great!! The food was so delicious & tasty 😋!!! Will definitely be back!! Great customer service as well - Carol P.“

“We tried the vegetarian sweet & sour chicken, and vegetable flat noodles, and both were great. The woman working there was also very sweet and friendly with everyone who came in, joking with a regular and treating a kid to extra fortune cookies. It's the classic hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant, but it's very clean and well-kept.“

“I just visited this location. It was clean and all of the associates were friendly. Especially Ellen who prepared my meal! She was patient and provided service with a smile! The food was hot and looked fresh and there was a nice variety of options. Highly recommend.“

“I went there around 6 p.m. on a weekday, and the place was already packed. The food was warm, which was nice. One thing I wish they had was disposable gloves for picking up food. Some of the serving utensils were a bit sticky, and it felt uncomfortable holding them with bare hands.

This place isn’t really a Chinese buffet. It feels more like a general buffet that also caters to the Latino community. They didn’t even have fried rice; you cannot NOT have fried rice at a chinese buffet. They also had sushi, which honestly wasn’t great, but I didn’t go there for sushi anyway.

One thing that really stood out was the imitation crab soup. It was really good, and you don’t usually see that kind of soup at a buffet like this, so I was impressed. Other than that, it felt like a typical buffet experience but a little less.

For the price and the variety, I’d give it four stars, but I wouldn’t call it a Chinese buffet, just a buffet overall.“
