50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Fairfax Station

“This restaurant is great for what it is - a no frills take-out place that will satisfy a craving for American-Chinese food. The food is fast, hot, and fresh. The portions are large and satisfying. The owners are kind and never get our order wrong. Our favorites are General Tso's chicken, pork in garlic sauce, beef lo mein, and crab rangoons.“

“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 👌✨“

“Crystal made the best recommendations for our first time. We had 3 orders of soup dumplings (2samplers and 1 chicken), cream cheese Rangoon, vegetable fried rice, edamame and ice tea with orange and lemon.

Crystal thank you so much for wonderful service, conversation and food! Hope to see you soon. This is my wife’s fav new spot!“

“Whenever I’m in the mood for a cozy movie night at home without the hassle of cooking, this place is strictly in my top three options. Honestly, I must have ordered from here well over twenty times by now ;p
​Our go-to combination always includes the Chow Fun, either the Mei Fun or Singapore Noodles, and a classic Fried Rice, alongside one specialty dish and today, we opted for the Green Bean Chicken. Everything arrived piping hot, freshly made, and perfectly seasoned. The team is always so wonderfully warm and welcoming whenever my husband step in for pick-up. If you’re looking for high-quality, comforting Chinese takeout, Chan's Kitchen is an absolute must :)“

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

“Very happy with the food and service here. My appetizer and meal were prepared perfectly and the bartender was polite. There was lots of options on this menu so I'm sure everyone can find something they like. Their sushi is also really good.“

“We came to finally celebrate my graduation and to get our hands on the sushi boat!! And of course it didn’t disappoint 🤤🤤🤤 it was amazing!! We also had Josh^3 as our server and he had such amazing energy even for a Wednesday night!!! We felt super seen and well taken care of and we can’t wait to come back again!“

“I wanted to try at least 3 times before I gave a rating. Customer service is consistent all the time, no matter what time of day. The combination fried rice tastes delicious. I get the chicken wings also, fried to perfection. I always ask for extra spicy and they usually deliver. My new favorite Chinese restaurant. I haven’t been able to find a good Chinese restaurant since moving from MD to VA, but this place is phenomenal. It’s clean and I love the interior. I do still need to try other options, but this is based off my regular.“

“Food was excellent! We went on a Friday night and it wasn't very busy, but with a holiday weekend people may be out of town
Dishes were large, hot, and fresh. Only thing I wish was different was that there was an iPad for ordering. However, servers stopped by multiple times to check in.“

“As we're lucky to have so many authentic and diverse restaurants in Northern Virginia, we decided to give Chef Tan a try.

I'd say it's a solid choice if you're nearby or looking for authentic Chinese food in Vienna. While it's not the best Chinese food I've ever had, every dish we ordered was good and the overall meal was enjoyable.

That said, with so many great Chinese restaurants closer to where I live, I probably wouldn't drive all the way to Vienna to have Chef Tan unless I happened to be in the area and is craving Chinese food.“

“I love getting food from here. Even when I am not shopping in Ranch 99 I would go there to get food and grab some groceries while waiting.

The owner is nice and the whole operation is very clean. I’d say it’s cleaner than 95% of the restaurants out there. The owner is one of those “OCD” types lol. When you tell him how much you want for the dry pot (by weight) he would get to that weight to the exact decimal point. I sometimes would tell him it’s ok to miss a bit I am just giving you an estimate. Also he is happy to cater your preference. I love lots of veggies in mine so I’d ask him to put more veggies than meat. He’d gladly to do anything like that.

It’s spicy but I never felt it’s too greasy and the flavor is great! It’s not just done with a sauce pack. You can see fresh garlic pieces in there too.

Definitely a hidden gem. Better than a typical vendor in a Chinese grocery store. I wish all Chinese restaurants can be run with this caliber.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time trying out the restaurant based on recommendation of a friend for Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup. Have to admit, it was very nice balanced taste. It was different - not as bold - from my usual prefer spot in Fair Oak Mall, which closed after Covid. We also tried the beef stripe and had mixed feelings. It wasn't all stripes but mixed with marinated beef, and the dish was good. It just that we preferred all stripes. Our waitress was very helpful and sincere. Good experience. Will come back to try other dishes.“

“The food great, better then others, it was hot fresh and delicious, I had the chicken with mix vegetables. And it came with a egg roll. Long time since I has a delicious egg roll. Place was clean. The only thing was the mechine that you can order your food on. Coming to get Chinese food to places like this it feels great when someone takes your order. Overall 👍 great.“

“The food was excellent and the service is consistently outstanding. I recently had a delivery, and the driver, Buenaventura, truly went above and beyond. I accidentally over-tipped, and he actually returned to my home to let me know and make it right. That level of honesty and professionalism is rare and very much appreciated. Highly recommend!“

“Exceptional carry out Chinese food. Food is good and fresh. Highlight dishes for me are the general chicken and crispy beef here. Fried price is also good but the beef and chicken specialty is definitely the stand out. Staff is great too. Mostly a carry out location.“

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

“This place reminds me of getting Chinese food in NY and is full of flavor! I have tried a little bit of everything on the menu and have no complaints. My favorite is their fried rice with bean sprouts and the szechuan chicken . I usually place my order for pickup and the food always comes out hot and fresh!“

“The malatang here is seriously one of the best I’ve had! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy, and all the ingredients taste super fresh. I especially loved how customizable everything is, you can pick exactly what you want and it always comes out delicious. The staff are also really friendly and welcoming!!!“

“Came here for dim sum and it was pretty good. No carts being pushed around though. The dishes were slightly on the bland side and it was a little annoying that we had to keep asking for more chili oil. It should just be on the table for us to scoop out! But I think they’re trying to be a little more modern so I get it. The place is nice and clean! I over ate so it was a successful dim sum brunch!“

“I love the food here and have ordered from this place many times.

The only thing I wish they would improve is the orange chicken. On many occasions, the pieces are mostly breading with very little chicken inside. Hopefully they can work on this!“

“Their hot and sour soup is AMAZING!!“

“Surprisingly surprised about the food. Whenever we encounter fusion restaurants, it’s always subpar. We order the spicy jjampong and omurice. Big portions and delicious! Banchans were also pretty yummy.

I thought we can only find good Korean in annadale- happy it’s close to us! Owners are also friendly. Looking forward to trying other food.“

“Was passing through my old haunts in Vienna. Heard good things about Chili Wok, so we gave it a try.
Sesame noodles -- great! (but next time I would have them add chicken.)
Green beans with pork - great.
Both dishes were without spice because we could add our own spice with condiments on the table.“

“Stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The noodles had an amazing texture, and the flavors were simple but incredibly satisfying. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and reasonable prices. You can really tell they care about the quality of the food. Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is incredible. I am not aware of any other luosifen noodle house in the area. If you, like me, are a newcomer to this style of noodle soup, you are going to be extremely impressed. The bone broth is bracing, complex, and flavorful, far richer and deeper than pho or tonkotsu. Recommend getting it spicy: it brings all the flavors together without being overwhelming. Additionally, the Sichuan menu is one of the best in the area, second only to Mama Chang's and Hong Kong Palace. This place is pretty new and trying to get its feet underneath it. Let's support high quality food!“

“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. 👍“

“Great food and it's 100% Zabiha Halal .The customer service was excellent. Cristina, the Manager, was very welcoming and even gave us our drinks for free. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the amazing hospitality. Tysons , va“

“The staff here is extremely polite and helpful. I was greeted by Labrell who is extremely nice and helpful. He helped me and another couple get set up with the wonder app and gave recommendations on which foods to try. I highly recommend the wonder Reston location and if you get a chance to meet Labrell he will put a smile on your face and brighten your day!!“

“This has become my go to place for Chinese delivery. Today, not feeling well, I wanted some soup and some spice. I ordered egg drop soup, lunch specials kung pao shrimp and orange chicken, and some wings. I LOVE their wings (as someone who doesn't eat fried wings often). I want to know if the sauce with them is made or bought and want to learn how to make it. So good I almost always add them to my order now. And whether a veggie or a meat egg roll, these are good and not too greasy. I've not had a bad item that I have ordered yet. I don't like onions and requested spicy today, and I received a call from the restaurant to confirm exactly what I wanted. They always follow my online directions well if I request less oil, white rice instead of fried, etc. First time with the soup today and that was good. Savored my veggie egg roll. First time also ordering the kung pao, and I don't usually love the typical veggies served with kung pao, but I was pleasantly surprised that chopped broccoli was the base vegetable, which I LOVE. Delicious! The orange chicken is great too. They are very kind and delivery is speedy. I think the portions are pretty generous, and the lunch specials are a great deal. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service!!!!!!“

“AT Hunan West about twice a month. Variety and quality very good. Service is good--and friendly. Norman“

“This place has really good soup and I loved the quality of the food. The mango sparkler was made very well and this place had a great atmosphere. My server Andrew was very helpful and was very attentive. 10/10 experience love bringing my family here!“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“The food was great and compares well to other Chinese restaurants. The staff was very attentive and checked in for our needs quite frequently. Cris was awesome. He made sure our 2 tables were billed correctly and took care of us well and how attended to other guests!“

“love the food here I like to get their beef knife cut noodle soup and their various cantonese style dishes. service is quick and efficient and restaurant is nice and clean and cool, perfect with pairing with their complementary tea and noodle soup“

“Amazing food. Giant portions. The Szechuan beef noodles were perfect. The chili wontons were larger than I thought, but still cleared the plate. My wife had the spicy chicken rice noodles, which was also massive, but she liked the szechuan beef noodles better.“

“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.“

“This is the best Chinese food in the area and no one can tell me otherwise. Been coming here as a kid and some how the food keeps getting better.

Staff is friendly over the phone and the food is cooked with love you cant ask for more.“

“I love the general tso chicken, orange chicken, and sesame chicken and my wife loves the Singapore noodles. I normally don't order chicken but this place is really good. Great prices, large portions and super fast delivery. Best in the area! Highly recommend.Update: We've been ordering from Hunan Heritage for over a month now and there is no question, they make delicious food. This is the only place I would order catering from. January 2024“

“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!“

“This is a chain that has locations all over New York. I'm glad there is a location close to me. It's my go to for sauerkraut fish soup.

They also have a secret menu for Fuzhou cuisine like peanut noodles, Fuzhou wontons and meatball soup that are pretty close to what I remember from Fuzhou.“

“Super casual dumplings place - freshly made to order. Highly recommend the kale dumplings, which took us by surprise. The traditional soup dumplings were great, I wasn’t a fan of the chicken dumplings, but I prefer pork. The shrimp dumplings were also delicious. It is more of a to-go place and extremely quiet, which preferred and enjoyed our meal.“
