50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Fairfax Station

“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 👌✨“

“This is the best Chinese food I've had in the area. I highly suggest that you order your meal to eat in the restaurant. I've never had Hunan shrimp that tastes so good.

I'm a regular and try to eat here a few times each month.

Try it, you won't be disappointed.“

“Such a wonderful hole in the wall. The lady running the register was so kind - ended up giving me a free soda out of the kindness of her heart and kindly retrieving me from outside when my food was ready for pickup. Their General Tso’s was perfect even after eating it after getting home.

A small and very clean operation with really good food and service. Will be coming back many times, again, in the future! Do not miss out on this place!“

“My sister and I really enjoyed the calamari, cucumber salad, braised beef and noodle soup and garlic green beans. I rate those 5 stars. We also ordered the ugly dumplings sampler, I rate this zero star and it a waste of money. Now the service was excellent! Our server Abel took his time explaining the menu since it's our first visit. He was always smiling, courteous and respectful.“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“Chef Tan Chinese Restaurant is situated at Danor Plaza, near Maple Avenue in Vienna, VA, serving authentic and flavorful Hunan cuisine with well-balanced flavors. Its exterior is modest, but the interior offers a spacious, modern ambiance with friendly service. The restaurant boasts a diverse menu and generous portions. I appreciate discovering a Chinese eatery that serves traditional dishes, avoiding westernized or Americanized variants that tend to be overly sweet.

Some dishes we loved and highly recommend:
1. Steamed pork dumplings, truly homemade with authentic flavor.
2. Pressure-cooked pork belly: tender, juicy, and mildly spicy.
3. Iron plate Mongolian beef: similar to Korean bulgogi but less sweet and saucy—very good!
4. General Tso’s chicken: a classic dish with chicken balls in a subtly sweet and mildly spicy sauce.
5. Pumpkin seafood tofu soup: sizable enough to share, with balanced flavors from pumpkin and seafood that weren’t overpowering
6. Fried rice: among the best in Northern Virginia, with a deep, savory flavor from stir-fried onions.“

“Fantastic lunch experience at P.F. Chang’s – Tyson Corner!
The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was fresh and full of flavor, and the dessert was just as impressive. What really made our visit special was our server, Will. He was exceptional – friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. Service was quick, portions were generous, and Will even packed our leftovers with great care. Truly a memorable lunch. Highly recommend!“

“We had an amazing server, Natalie, who took great care of us, answering questions and making delicious recommendations! Natalie provided excellent service, was friendly and kind as well as patient with our numerous requests. She kept smiling and serving us delicious food! We were very impressed with her, and as it's been a while since we have dined at PF Chang's, we look forward to returning and requesting her table! The manager also came by to make sure all needs were met and we were pleased to let him know of our excellent experience.“

“The team at Hunan taste always provides outstanding experience from start to finish. Their customer service is always incredibly helpful and responsive, the food is exactly as you describe, and the entire process is smooth and efficient. I highly recommend them and will definitely be a returning customer“

“First time trying them, got orange chicken lunch special and a BBQ spareribs appetizer. Oh man, was it fantastic and hit the spot. The spareribs were delicious, the orange chicken was still hot when I got back to my work, everything tasted great, good portions, good price, I will definitely be back for more!!

I ordered from parking spot at my work and I got the alert the food was ready for pickup right when I parked at the restaurant. Outstanding.“

“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.“

“Would love to give 10 stars for service! We ordered for wife who’s pregnant shortly before closing and we were running late to pick it up. One of the staff members stayed 20 minutes past closing to make sure we got our food. Seriously, a deep and sincere thank you to the staff at Hunan for waiting for us when they could have very denied our order all together. Thank you thank you thank you!!“

“This chinese takeout spot is excellent! The fried rice and lo mein were both flavorful and cooked perfectly and the general tsos chicken was crispy and delicious. Great portions and great taste. Definitely one of the better takeout places around.“

“I love Yu Noodles. Their noodle bowls are so good — simple, flavorful, and the portions are huge. Last time I got the seafood noodle bowl and it totally hit the spot. Everything tasted fresh and comforting.

It’s a clean, casual place — not fancy or romantic, but definitely the kind of spot you go to when you just want a really good meal without paying too much. The staff are super friendly, and the service is always quick.

The menu can be a little confusing at first, but they have some pictures to help, and honestly, everything I’ve tried has been delicious. It’s just one of those reliable, yummy places you keep coming back to. I usually end up going there when I get a massage at the place next-door (Relax rite), I just make an authentic Chinese evening out of the whole experience.“

“Nice Cafe, good flavor Chinese food .. but they use Styrofoam for takeout. UGH.. which means all the sauce spills into bottom of the bag. NOT GOOD.“

“My guests loved the chicken 65! Great customer service!“

“The dishes are even cleaner tasting and less salty than before, and we love the new chicken wonton soup. The chefs have creatively used spices and ground halal meat to recreate pork dishes. Great for those who eat halal but also for those who don't want to feel bloated after a Chinese meal. We loved the chicken broccoli and moo shoo and will be ordering again for this healthier take on American Chinese food.“

“We ordered the pan-fried noodle and triple delight. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and we plan to make this a regular stop for dinner. The portions were very generous. I should have taken a picture but by the time I thought of it my dish was half empty. Next time.“

“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 got bored of eating Chinese food, but this place is incredible, food taste soo good, totally different from other restaurants i have try. Is a small business but to takeout is perfect. I have try almost every dish of this place, and what can i say, is all tasty. Love this place.“

“Have to use a GPS to find it. It is carryout only. Wait time was a bit but the food comes out piping hot and fresh. Was so good I didn't wait to get home to eat, but instead sat in the parking lot blowing on it and trying not to burn my tongue. Got general tso chicken, beef lo mein and a small wonton soup for $25. Huge portions. And the meat was huge chunks. Enough food for 4 people. Was disappointed I didn't get an eggroll as I assumed it came with the order. But otherwise I was happy and will come again next time I have a Chinese food craving. Very much like the spots in Philadelphia.“

“A&J was a delicious find! The food was amazing and hit the spot. Small dining area, but perfect for taking out. Parking is a little rough- the lot itself is falling apart and full of massive holes. Parking can be tight.“

“My go-to Chinese place! I especially love this place because the sauces are clearly homemade, not bottled. The take out hibachi is really good and the lunch special value can NOT be beat!! I recommend it to all my friends. Atmosphere gets 3 stars since it's really just a take out place, so it's not really meant to be an experience.“

“My wife’s and my first time here. I had the biang biang noodles thanks to several other positive reviews. I am adding to those reviews. The noodles were delicious and worth making repeat visits. My wife had wontons in chicken soup. She also enjoyed her dish. We both tried the other’s dish and enjoyed them. For desert we had fried mochi. The outside tasted somewhat like a donut. The inside was something sweet. They were quite good.

The place was very busy with most customers picking up their meals and leaving. There are five 4 person tables and three 2 person tables. The Chinese woman running the counter was very friendly and spoke both fluent English and Chinese. The dining and bathroom areas were clean and well maintained.

We will definitely be back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Close to large parking lot. Sidewalk in front has a ramp. Entrance appears to be standard 36” width.“

“Wow! We just discovered this amazing place, and I have to give it a solid 10/10! My husband and I decided to grab some carryout for a quick dinner, and we were thrilled with the generous portions. The seasoning was absolutely spot on! It’s hands down the best Chinese food around! We’ll definitely be recommending it and can’t wait to come back for more delicious meals!“

“Delicious food! I went to Mama Chang's after a long hike and this food hit the spot! The staff was great as they were attentive without being overbearing like at some places. Plus I give them extra brownie points because the group I was with showed up a little close to closing time and the staff remained super friendly!“

“It took me for a while to write a review since I’ve never done lol. Food surely brought me nostalgia- my favorite Maratang place in Seoul which is my hometown. More on that, I wanted to leave a review not just because of the food quality, but because of the service. The owner and staff were insanely friendly, like AMAZING. I also loved how the owner took out all the water before measuring my food haha—so thoughtful. If you’re in the area, you’ve gotta try them. No regrets!“

“as a regular, the authentic Chengdu laziji (spicy chicken) congxiang yu (scallion fish) and ziran yang (cumin lamb) are my go to favorites“

“For 30 years, we haven’t found a place that comes close to our childhood Chinese go-to spot. Well, we found it!! Their lo mein is excellent! Shrimp and broccoli is great too. Great deal with the luncheon special (before 3pm) - great portion sizes.“

“Many traditional Chinese dishes along with Americanized favorites. They may attempt to coax you into changing your mind if you’re not Asian and you want something traditional.“

“Their hot and sour soup is AMAZING!!“

“Having been to a few other Chinese restaurants in the area, this blows them out of the water! The food is authentic as you can get, especially how you can see the chef making the noodles fresh. The meal was crafted with love, and I definitely will be coming back here a lot!“

“Food was prepared exactly how I was expecting. Their beef sticks, sweet and sour chicken, and egg roles were incredible. Staff was friendly to me in the store. I ordered takeout and they made sure to remind me to grab sauces and utensils before I left. That may seem small but was important to me. Will 100% be back“

“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 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.“

“I'm not really sure why so many people rated this place a 1. This is one of the best carryout Chinese places I've ever tried and it's now a staple among my friends. From the shrimp toast, to the fried rice and lo mein, to the main courses, everything we've tried has been very good. For a quick carry-out Chinese meal, you can't do much better than this place.“

“First time customer. Ordered the following carryout lunch specials for myself and the kids.- General Tso's Chicken- Crispy Orange Chicken- Chicken with Broccoli- Sweet & Sour Pork- Pork Fried RiceThe gentleman behind the counter was nice and smiled when I entered.The prices were really reasonable and the portion size across the board was good.The kids and I enjoyed everything, especially the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. We'll be sure to come back.“

“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.“

“The staff are all very friendly, and it’s clear they try to keep the restaurant as clean as possible. That said, because it’s an older establishment, it can be hard for it to look perfectly spotless no matter how much effort they put in.

If you visit, I highly recommend trying the crispy spicy fish, mung bean noodle salad, ribs, hot and sour soup, and of course, their handmade dumplings. The flavor is truly excellent, and this spot is definitely worth checking out!“

“Delicious food, large portions,and wonderful owners!“

“I was not familiar with this place but my family was craving for real Chinese food! I checked good places near and decided to try China Express. To be honest when I parked in the front I was skeptical but follow my willingness to discover new places but when I got in and received by a very kind staff and felt the yummy smell from the kitchen I thought it was going to be good! I ordered fried rice, noodle soup, general tso chicken and some house lo mein, it was extremely delicious! Food quality is top and service was simply amazing! This is a hidden gem in Tysons and definitely will come back! Superb!“

“Grab & Go type restaurant inside Fresh World (Asian & International Grocery Store) serving Chinese barbecue. Their crispy pig (heo quay) is the best in the area, perfectly crisp and seasoned. We also love the salt and pepper duck; the sauce that comes with it is to die for. They sell vietnamese desserts and bbq roast pork buns too, but these are known to sell out fast.“

“Finally, decent Chinese food in Burke. Recently discovered this gem and we have not been disappointed after several orders. Food is delicious and arrives hot. Their sweet and sour chicken is amazing, as is their fried rice and black bean beef. Don't forget to include sugar Donuts for a sweet treat.“

“The vegetable egg foo young was absolutely delicious, and I really appreciated the option of brown rice — something you don’t often find at many Chinese restaurants. The service was attentive and friendly, and the staff showed real professionalism throughout the meal. Overall, a great dining experience that I’d gladly recommend.“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“I had Jjajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk. It was reasonable price and both were delicious. I had low expectations since the most of Korean Chinese food in America was not good. But this one was not bad and good price. I would come back again. Hope more people come.“

“Our Monday night dinner group has come back here multiple times. The smell is wonderful immediately when you walk in. The host and all staff there are super friendly and always fun to chat with. Our waiter had our whole table laughing every time we engaged with him. Everyone's orders were perfectly cooked, nice sized portions and came out very quickly. I personally love the Malaysian Iced Coffee, Roti Canai and Chicken Satay. Our group had noodle dishes, beef, lamb, seafood....all was wonderful. The flavors are vivid and bright, delicious and clearly comfort food. I promise you, you'll enjoy your trip here. Great food for everyone. Very nice open atmosphere and every table seemed very content.“

“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. . :) 😋“

“We feed a group from here every month, everyone loves it!!“
