Chinese Restaurants near Fort Belvoir

“This is a good place for quick Asian takeout food and they are excellent in supplying & cooking food if there is hardly any left. I got a quart of spicy orange chicken entree- a la carte - $11-12 . It is enough for 4-5 meals when I add vegetables and rice to it from my home. I like how they have lean and low calorie entree & side items to eat. Delicious and filling food. I would probably pick up food early before traffic and the line gets long. They don’t accept the Panda Express app in this location unfortunately, so cash in your rewards or get points at other locations.“

“We had the portobello bao bun, pork dumpling, bbq duck, and little pot. Everything was delicious!“

“This was a great authentic Cantonese restaurant. I have been a frequent visitor since their soft opening. It is a bit sad that they are slowly switching menu to accommodate broader tastes, e.g. by including American-Chinese food and adding Sichuan style dishes. This is understandable given the demographics of the neighborhood and the market demand, but I do notice that the quality fluctuates for some skill-sensitive Cantonese dishes (e.g. 干炒牛河). It is also disappointing that the chicken in 啫啫煲 has been replaced with boneless chicken, which again is understandable to accommodate customers who don't like bone-in chicken, but that's just not how this dish is supposed to be made.

On the flip side of the menu changes, I like that they have added the Typhoon-style Lobster and Peking duck (I don't actually know why in the US many Cantonese restaurant offer Peking duck; maybe as a simple variation of HK-style roast duck.).

Overall, I hope this restaurant will flourish while maintaining its authentic taste and high standards!“

“I’ve ordered three times here since Nov 2025, and the halal indication is what made me curious to try the place. I’m happy Hunan Cafe is in the neighborhood! The food is good and clean, meat portions generous, the white rice that comes as a side was fragrant and tasty. I’m not left second guessing my order unlike other Chinese take out spots that can be too oily or use too much MSG. The service is reliable and friendly.

More details: I’ve placed over the phone with no issue and have ordered using the kiosk. They securely pack the takeout. I’ve earned a reward through Toast, the ordering app. There’s plenty of space to eat-in, if you’d like. I haven’t had an issue with parking, it’s a strip / plaza lot shared with other businesses. Dishes I’ve tried: spicy chicken wonton, lo mein, Taiwan noodle with veggie, Szechuan beef, and La Zhi chicken.“

“Wonderful food and great dining experience ! One of my favorite restaurants !“

“So I want to start out by saying their customer service is amazing I called because I placed a big order with them and the lady I spoke with went out of her well to upgrade our general so's chicken when she didnt even have to she was so sweet and kind on the phone I highly recommend this establishment their food is amazing“

“The service is very welcoming and interactive with you. The restaurant itself is very pretty and well decorated. There is also, never much of a wait time for being seated and the food is served fresh and is not high priced. Overall the restaurant is well worth the visit.“

“Came for the bottomless Dim Sum and Peking Duck the food and cocktails were amazing!! Everything came out fast and hot, the duck was perfectly prepared. The service was tad slow but they did seem understaffed so I totally understand with that being said. At the end of the day I would go back and give it another go!“

“Food is good. They need to clean the restaurant.
Restaurant. owner is very nice. The lady server who needs customers service skills.
Also they need to speak English when customers are around. Not in their language. Very rude.
Overall we give them 6 points over 10.“

“We love Szechuan-style Chinese food, and this spot was a great find. It was casual, clean, and fast, with excellent quality and generous portions. The pork stir-fry in garlic sauce and flash-fried green beans with pickled cabbage were both super flavorful and paired really well together. The shrimp lo mein was delicious too. Overall, it was a great meal, and we’d definitely come back.“

“I placed a pick up order over the phone and staff was super nice and food was ready on time. The prices are also super reasonable for the amount of food you get. I’m going to give individuals ratings of everything I got below, but we ordered General Tsos, sweet-and-sour chicken and shrimp, shrimp egg foo young, beef and broccoli, combination lo mein, beef teriyaki sticks, egg rolls, crab cheese wontons, egg drop soup, and fried beef dumplings.

General Tsos: 4.5/5, had the exact flavor I’m looking for in this dish, but could have been a little spicier. They got a little soggy from the condensation, but still delicious.

Sweet and sour chicken and shrimp: 4/5, chicken and shrimp both had good flavor, but there were some pieces that were dry and hard like they were a bit old, but the softer pieces were really good and I like that they put the sauce on the side.

Shrimp egg foo young: 5/5, this was our first time trying this dish and we will definitely get it again. This had really good flavor and so did the gravy.

Beef and , the broccoli and meat were fine, but the sauce is missing something. It just didn’t have the flavor I’m used to and will not order again.

Combination lo mein: 5/5, pretty standard Chinese food lo mein but we had no issues with it and flavor was good.

Beef teriyaki sticks: 1/5, my mom really liked these, but I hated them. The flavor kind of reminds me of beef jerky, which is weird in a fresh meat item.

Egg rolls: 3/5, not the best I’ve had but passable. The taste is just a bit bland. They taste better dipped in the sweet and sour sauce.

Crab cheese wontons: 1/5, I already knew I wasn’t going to like them when I saw they were triangle shaped instead of the ones with the four points (iykyk). There was too much wonton and not enough filling in the filling itself had like no flavor.

Fried beef dumplings: 5/5, these were basically gyoza and flavor was pretty good.

Egg drop soup: 5/5, exactly the flavor I want in egg drop soup.

Although we didn’t love everything, the service, the prices, and the fact that we liked the majority of the items, I feel like they deserve five stars. Will definitely come back for my next Chinese food craving.“

“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.“

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

“I had an amazing experience at Peking Express! The food was absolutely delicious—everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they care about quality. The portions were generous, and every bite hit the spot.

What made the visit even better was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. It’s the kind of place where you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in.

If you’re looking for great Chinese food with excellent service, this spot is definitely worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Well I get 3 shrimp and chicken lomeing and it was delicious. And 3 wins with French fries which it was super.
I did try hunan chicken before, but it doesn't pass my taste.
So service was fast less than what ever they said it will be. So I will keep getting different choice and I'll let you know“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“You know, I don’t like writing reviews because I think social media is… annoying. But when I take the time and make the effort, it must mean something.

This little tiny place is filled with good energy and even more delicious food. If you’ve eaten in Korean-dale, you won’t be disappointed with this spot. Super super super yum!“

“This afternoon my mother and I ate at Chiko in Arlington. My mother had smashed salmon. I shared the veggie dumplings with my mother. I had cumin lamb stir fry and iced oolong tea. I liked the cumin lamb stir fry. Glad that this location offers patio seating as the weather outside was warm and sunny. This location is not wheelchair accessible because someone has to pull and push the front door.“

“Top quality Chinese food!!! Wow- don’t judge this well-hidden gem by its cover. While it doesn’t look like much on the outside, the quality here is unbeatable! We dined in and had the best Chinese food that we’ve had in the area! The food was fresh and seasoned exceptionally well. The recipes are genuine and hearty. The gentleman who appears to own and run the establishment is incredibly kind and so attentive. We called asking about orange chicken, decided not to order it, but he gave us a dish on the house to try it anyways!“

“Taste of Asia is a family friendly restaurant. The staff is friendly, polite, patient, and professional. This is our first time here and can't wait to come back. The server greeted us before we made it inside the door. That was very warm and refreshing. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. It exceeded our expectations. Great job!“

“This place has great Chinese food!! Love how it’s piping hot even after the 15 drive home after pickup or when they deliver. All of the fried rice dishes, beef chow fun, chicken with broccoli, beef chow mein are some of our favorites. They’re also very nice and friendly. Super quick too.

Can’t rate ambience. We always get to go or delivery.“

“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.“

“Had soup dumplings, chicken dumplings, cabbage, cucumber salad, and braised pork belly. It was all delicious, and the ambience was a celebration of Chinese culture but not overdone. The background video of some Yunnan cooking show was very cute. Our server was super friendly and made us feel at home. We loved it.“

“Best decision I made today was reconnecting to Chinese food again thanks to Eastern!! Not only are the deals and service amazing but the quality and taste of the food is phenomenal not to mention the quantity of the food is just mind blowing. I went for lunch and the first thing I noticed was how clean it was, I mean spick and span. As I walked up to pick up my food I was greeted with such kindness. I definitely will be coming here more now that I’m able to eat Chinese again!! Mind you this is Lunch size portion Hunan tofu with fried rice.“

“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!“

“Chinese takeout is quick and convenient, especially if you order ahead. The portions are generous, the employees are friendly, and the prices are fair for Chinese-American food. If you’re looking for a fast and reliable spot for Chinese food, this is one of the best options on Columbia Pike and in the Arlington area. There may be better Chinese restaurants outside Arlington, but for the area, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

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

“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!!!“

“The tasty food is one thing BUT one thing which stood out for me is their great customer service. Jane and her other colleague were all smiles, kind and attentive. You can tell they love the job that they do. This is the kind of service you wanna comeback for more. I also appreciate that they're wearing a transparent mouth shield as it looks more neat than a regular mask. They offer free soup and coffee on top of your regular order which is great since it's winter around this time. I hope they can be consistent with their business approach and I wish their new store a success!“

“The Extra Spicy Dry Hot Pot is insanely good. I get one of these every single time I come to Hot Peppercorn, and it hits just right every single time. I prefer it with pork, but you can get it with any pritein you prefer.

The waiters are always extremely attentive and nice, the food always comes out in a timely fashion, and I feel my soul heal itself a bit every time I get the dry hot pot. Absolutely in my Top 3 favorite restaurants ever because of this.“

“I've been a regular customer of Hunan Manor for many years. The food is always delicious and the owner and staff are always welcoming! The delivery service is quick. Although I have moved further away, Hunan Manor on Shenandoah Road is still my go-to Chinese restaurant. I am never disappointed.“

“Great food and awesome staff! 5 of 5 for sure.“

“The Presentation of the Food so artistic 😋 😍“

“Ordered food to go a few days ago and I must say the food is awesome. I got the triple delight with fried rice. The sauce on the triple delight was so delicious.... mmmmmh !! 😃 will definitely be ordering from here again!!!“

“I’ve been a loyal fan of South China Restaurant on Mount Vernon Avenue for years, but I wanted to try something new tonight, so I ordered from Ho’s Chinese Carryout in Centre Plaza for the first time. The General Tso’s chicken was really good and a totally different style from what I usually get. The sauce was nice and light with a golden brown color, a hint of garlic, and a good kick of spice that didn't overwhelm. The chicken chunks were moist with a nice crunch on the outside. I liked the broccoli pieces in it, but I could’ve used a little more!

I placed a mobile order and the food was packed up and waiting for me when I walked in 10-15 minutes later. Fast service and a great first experience. I’ll definitely be back to try something else next time.“

“Where celebrity and non-celebrity alike make a pilgrimage of sorts. One of the more historic food establishments in the area. A vestige of the historic Cold War perhaps. Many come for a taste of the iconic farm-raised duck. But the choices do not stop at that. And it’s bigger than just the content or the food.“

“Dim sum yum“

“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 👌✨“

“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.“

“We have lived here a long time and have yet to find a very good takeout Chinese restaurant in the area. We have had two dinners now with panda bear and I must say they both been outstanding. The food is well presented comes with the proper compliments and is always ready when you get to the restaurant.
We have had a variety of dishes in the two visits And all have been good. We will be making this our first stop for takeout Chinese food going forward“

“Food delicious, spacious, clean and courteous servers“

“I had family over for dinner and decided to order three party platters, spring rolls, crab rangoon, and soup. Each platter is said to be 6 servings but it certainly seemed like it was more because we had a ton of leftovers. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, szechuan beef, and kung pao shrimp as our entrees and everything was a absolutely delicious. The food was ready right on time, the chicken was still crispy when we got it home, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed all the food. I would order for a party again without hesitation, and, of course will be back for smaller meals whenever the craving hits. Thank you for helping make our party a success!“

“I honestly love the lady who answers the phone. She's always so kind, friendly and helpful with directions or on how to locate them. And to put the cherry on top, their food is EXCELLENT always hot and fresh never any old or bad chicken! Thank you!“

“Ninhao! ?? ?? ?Absolutely awesome “carry-out/to-go only” Chinese fare to satisfy you & your family! Fast, convenient, and soooo flavorful! — Really friendly and smiling counter-gal ready to serve up a plethora of delicious dishes… for just as YOU wishes! ??Xie-Xie! ??????“

“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“

“Jerry Chan's has been my favorite carryout for me since I first ate here in 10 years ago, in 2016. My go-to is their salt and pepper shrimp and shrimp egg rolls, which are amazing!!! The steamed white rice is always cooked to perfection. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. I recently made an Uber Eats order from Jerry Chan's because I didn't know if they independently deliver to my area, and Uber Eats got the order wrong!!! But the restaurant made me a complete New Order completely free of charge despite Uber Eats not being willing to assist or refund to me, and even stayed open later than usual so I could pick it up.“

“Stopped by Hong Kong Express in Springfield and it really hit the spot. This is classic Chinese takeout comfort food, generous portions, solid flavors, and quick service. The shrimp lo mein was tasty and filling, with tender shrimp and noodles cooked just right. The chicken with glass noodles was flavorful, especially with The hot and sour soup was so good the pork was incredibly soft and tender, making every bite delicious. Definitely one of my favorite dishes of the meal! 🍲😋 The sweet and sour chicken was a standout, crispy pieces with a bright, tangy sauce that was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too heavy. Everything tasted fresh, was packaged well for takeout, and portion sizes were great for sharing (or leftovers 😉). This is the kind of place you go to when you want something warm, familiar, and satisfying. If you’re in the Springfield area and craving simple, affordable, and comforting Chinese food, Hong Kong Express is a solid choice. I’ll definitely be back! 🍜✨“
