17 Best Chinese Restaurants in Fairfax

“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’s been a while since I’ve been to PF Chang’s, so on Sunday, a friend and I went there for lunch. From the moment we walked in, until the very end, our service was flawless! Our server Ty was amazing, providing us excellent service, anticipating our needs before we even said anything, his cheerful demeanor brightening up our day. Our food came out in record time and was absolutely perfect. The best part, and the reason behind PF Chang’s elevated level of service, is their Manager. He leads by example, going around to tables, checking to see how everyone is enjoying their meal. This of course provided us with the perfect opportunity to gush about Ty’s performance, professionalism and courteous conduct. This manager, through his leadership, has taken PF Chang’s level of service to what you see in five star restaurants. Keep up the great work, it is truly impressive and make sure the manager is well compensated, because he sets the tone. Also, give Ty a raise, he deserves it!“

“This is the 2nd Yu's I've been to. Usually go to the Herndon location. This locations very similar but a bit smaller. Menu is interesting in that they have extra vegetarian options. I had the vegetarian buns and scallion pancakes. Buns were fresh but a little bland which is kind of expected from Chinese places they don't kinda know how to make veggie stuff tasty. Noodles are good though, exception.“

“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.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“We love this place and it’s part of our regular take-out rotation. They have so many options for different dietary preferences (I’m a vegetarian) and ability to make it “healthier” like extra veggies, brown rice, etc. Also the portions are pretty generous that it usually ends up being two meals for me (and the prices are super reasonable). Their Mongolian beans are to die for. Staff is always friendly , food always hot and orders are always correct. Really grateful to have this place nearby.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We’ve been ordering here for the past few years. Food has always been fresh and delicious! Would highly recommend this place to others!“

“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 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!“

“I found this place not far from my hotel. It's in a strip-mall. It looks like more of a takeout place. But, there are plenty of tables inside. There is an extensive menu. There are authentic dishes. They will probably make anything you want. I wanted chicken, bok choy, and rice. The woman behind the counter was very clever, funny, and nice. She recommended a simple salt, pepper, and garlic sauce. They cooked it very quickly. There was a lot of food. It was very tasty. I saw many things on the menu that I want to try. The woman recommended many other things to try. Good place!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of options.“

“This was a pleasant surprise! This is the best Chinese food I’ve ever had! Usually the chicken at other places is soggy and the sauce is not great but the chicken had crisp to it and the sauce was to die for. Very pleased and will return.“

“역시 튀김류와 고추짬뽕 매생이 누룽지탕은 최고인듯 합니다! ^^“

“Urban Hot Pot is a must-visit for hot pot lovers! The fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and customizable dipping sauces make for an amazing dining experience. The modern setup with individual pots is perfect for solo or group meals. Highly recommend for a delicious and satisfying outing!“

“Love this place! Our usual Chinese food go to no longer offers delivery so I found this place. Everything I’ve ever ordered and eaten from here is absolutely amazing and delicious. Highly recommend the pepper steak, chicken or pork fried rice, combination lo mein and the crispy spring rolls. Everything else we’ve had has been really good too.“

“We have enjoyed the quality of the food at this establishment when we do takeout. However, we have noticed a recurring issue with the customer service, particularly during our takeout visits. On multiple occasions, we have experienced a lack of greeting and smiles from the staff. During our most recent visit, we found ourselves waiting for a couple of minutes, even though there was no one else in line, while the worker was preoccupied with adjusting the food. There was no acknowledgment or informing us that they would be with us shortly. Additionally, the checkout process lacks a courtesy 'Thank you for coming' at the end of the transaction. The staff simply hands over the bag and walks away without saying anything. We believe that improving the customer service experience would greatly enhance the overall dining experience at this establishment.“
