Chef Yan offers Chinese and Szechuan food with decent service and atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. The Hunan chicken and General Tso's chicken were not well-received, with comments about lack of flavor and too much sauce. The hot and sour soup, lo mein, tofu, and fish dishes received better reviews, and some dishes are quite authentic. The fried rice was not a favorite, and the dry pot dish was found to be better at other restaurants. This is one of the few truly dine-in Chinese restaurants left in the NOVA area, making it a good choice for those wanting to enjoy a genuine meal rather than takeout. The restaurant appeared clean, and service was generally good, though there was a note about the tip calculation being a bit shady when based on post-tax totals. Overall, it is a solid option for Chinese food, with some areas for improvement.
