50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Fort Myer

“Great place for a quick bite. Very small inside but most people just grab food and go so there was room to sit down and eat. Went during lunch time and all the food looked fresh and it was delicious. Ended up going with two plates to share. Walnut shrimp and mushroom chicken with rice...and noodles with orange chicken and teriyaki chicken, all were very good and very tasty.“

“A cute place in a cozy spot filled with joy and anticipation. The menu changes often so, if you look online and salivate at one of the photos, there is a good chance what you desire has morphed into something else. But fear not, the chef has surely created something new you willingly dive into.

I had the beef short ribs Chinese style. As my mother would say, when she is commenting on a dish, it was nice. That is a higher praise than most, but I feel it was appropriate for this dish. It wasn’t what I was expecting for a place with such high accolades. More like Korean Kalbi with Szechuan spice. Just a suggestion, maybe work on the presentation and add some coconut sugar to the marinade to balance out the flavor of the dish. It was served with an apple slaw that was also, nice, as it was the tangy acidic element to the dish. As the meat was spicy and the slaw tangy I was left yearning for that great balance of flavor great asian food has—spicy, sweet, tangy all in one bite.

I also had the lotus dumpling and that was delightful— maybe the same critique, just missing one thing, but I can’t put my finger on it yet.

The food was good and would definitely go back if I could find a nice date (almost impossible nowadays unless you pay upfront). Service was excellent and the ambiance made you feel warm and welcome. You should try this spot and order a lot more than I did to get a true experience of what this place has to offer.“

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

“Very friendly and lovely owner! The food was absolutely delicious and everything was prepared by him personally. I didn’t think vegetarian noodles could be made in such a way, but the dish was truly excellent. The same goes for my husband’s dumplings. We enjoyed everything very much. I highly recommend it to everyone!“

“The sesame chicken bao bun was fantastic. We also loved the chicken and ginger dumplings and the chicken soup dumplings. Delicious hot food perfect for a cold day. Patrick was so friendly and gave us great customer service. We’ll be back to see him.“

“Amazing food great bartender Oscar!!! A win is a win and i highly recommend!!! Ian the manager is a friend you didn’t know you would make!!“

“We finally found a great Chinese restaurant worth sponsoring!The food is excellent, fresh and they have healthy options. We really enjoy steamed chicken and broccoli, steamed dumplings and rice noodles. The owner is a wonderful young man and the employees are very kind. Truly a neighborhood gem.“

“Been scouting this place for about 3 weeks for a birthday dinner. I called over a week in advance for a party of 7 - 13 people. They were able too accommodate and the food was GOOOOOD! That hotpot was smokin and I thought I choose a milder one but it was excellent in taste for me. Now this was the first time I have had it so don't come at me if it doesn't hit you taste buds the same.“

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

“Soupy Dumpling & Fancy Cuppa is my new go-to spot for comfort food. The soup dumplings are perfectly juicy and flavorful, the spicy beef noodle soup has a rich, satisfying broth with just the right kick, and the mango bubble tea is refreshing and not overly sweet. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. The place is cozy, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a visit! Oh they have robots running around so can be fun with kids.“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is another Peter Chang location - so if you are familiar with the DC dining scene, you can already guess: this place is fantastic. The decor makes it look a little fast casual, but the food is phenomenal. Possible the best mala (numbing spice) I have ever had.

Memorable, and incredible- spice fried fish, spicy wontons, scallion pancake, shrimp dumplings, soup.

Also good - BBQ Buns, soup dumplings“

“I was excited to try this new dumpling spot since I heard it just opened. I tried to make a reservation ahead of time since it was the weekend, but there seemed to be an issue with their system and it wouldn’t go through. So I had to just show up and ended up waiting a long time to get seated.

However, once we got in, the food was actually really good and everything came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The reservation issue and the wait weren’t great, but the dumplings were tasty enough that I’d go back again.“

“Their selection of lunch specials, with a beverage, checks the boxes for value and portion size. No frills service: order, pay (cash is king), take away or dine in.

The chicken with broccoli, with white rice was more than enough for lunch. The hot made-to-order broccoli tasted fresh and sweet; chicken was juicy and tender. I thought there was too much oyster sauce.

Next time, order light on sauce!

In DC, a good atmosphere indicator on whenever a Chinese restaurant has props with their chops is when I hear locals speak Chinese, with tourists, locals, and Americans. Four stars!“

“Must GO! MUST EAT! Sooo GOOD! Will NOT disappoint! YOU WILL GO BACK, AGAIN and again and again!“

“I discovered South China about 10+ years ago. The owners are friendly and offer quality guest service. I moved out of Delray a few years ago. I was in the area this weekend and stopped in to grab lunch. They smiled, remembered me and my regular order. I really enjoy this family owned business, it is absolutely worth a drive across town.“

“The food was very tasty and quality of service was excellent“

“I been trying to try this place for years finally made it.

spicy beef mo: 10 I dont care for cumin but im a believer now. the beef cooked perfectly. the right amount of spice just a nice kick so u can still enjoy the flavors of the onion, pepper and cumin. I ate
3.

red oil sesame dumpling 8. a little too spicy for me. I felt the kick in my throat a little too long. but noodle soft and flavorful.

Spicy potato noodle soup with beef. my friend gave it a 8.5 very spicy he was sweating but he said it had tender noodles, tender beef that was season well.

pan fried rolled noodle. 8.5 noodles well cooked not too spicy for me where i could still taste the blend of the onions and spices.“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“My husband and I have been dining in or placing a take out at least once a month at Peter Chang McLean for the past year and a half! We were so excited to finally find a chinese restaurant that is somewhat formal and provide good quality ingredients! I'm super picky with my meat (the , but the fresh meat, vegetables, and other ingredients truly satisfy my particular self. They never disappoint with the quality of the food and the temperature! We have tried at least 80% of their menu items, including the AYCE lunch menus, and our go-to items are: pan seared shrimp dumplings, dragon garlic spicy eggplants, singapore curry noodles, shrimp lo mein, spicy dry fried bamboo fish, numbing green peppercorn flounder, sesame chicken (it's online, not in the menu), and spicy kong pao chicken. The waitstaff and manager are all so nice in addition to the great food! We will continue to go back and we're so happy people are finding a good quality chinese food!“

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

“I had Beef With Vegetables in Peppery Broth, Schezwan dish. They have full non-schezwan Chinese dishes as well. It’s was spicy and went great with rice. Food came out really fast, about 5 minutes. Beats fast food when in a hurry. It’s one of those local restaurants that never quite picked back up after COVID, was happy to support a local business.“

“Absolutely delicious food! I first came here six years ago for my husband’s birthday after hearing about the restaurant from a foodie. It’s an unpretentious spot with incredibly good food. We ordered 10+ different dishes that first time and loved everything, especially the dan dan noodles and the pork bun. Nothing can ever compare to their Dan Dan noodles no matter how many times we order them from different restaurants!

We moved far away after a few years, but when we came back to visit friends this month, this was the first restaurant we wanted to return to. The food was just as delicious as it was six years ago. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered food for NYE. It was delicious 😋 Fried chicken wings were crispy; mongolian beef full of flavor; shrimp fried rice was fluffy with big shrimp and egg rolls were crunchy and good!!! I’m new to VA and so happy I found Peking Express🥡“

“The food here is authentic and tastes just like real Chinese home-style cooking. The service is friendly and attentive and the environment is cozy, and relaxing. I highly recommend this restaurant to nearby students and anyone who loves genuine Chinese cuisine. Definitely worth a visit.“

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

“I came from the zoo and wanted to sit down for some lunch. We got the Peking Duck and we’re not disappointed. Order a hot tea, the tea service is beautiful. We tried Beef and Vegetable Dumplings, they were juicy and rich, and earned a high recommendation. We were delighted we chose Han Palace it is beautiful and welcoming with superb service.“

“If you’re looking for consistently delicious Asian food in DC, Dumplings and Beyond is the place. Their dumplings are perfectly made—soft, flavorful, and packed with filling that keeps us coming back. The orange chicken is crispy with just the right balance of sweet and tangy, while the kung pao chicken delivers that satisfying kick of spice. The broccoli beef is tender, savory, and always fresh.

This is the only Asian restaurant we order from because every dish is reliably excellent. Dumplings and Beyond has earned our loyalty with food that never disappoints.“

“BEST LO MEIN I have had in a long long long time. Didn’t know it was possible to find a place that cooked it like this. Perfect texture, delicious. My favorite Chinese food place. Will be ordering at least every two weeks. Praise the chef.“

“We ordered Chicken Lo Mein and General Tso’s. Both were so good! The Lo Mein was fresh and the Tso’s was extra crispy and super flavorful. The people who served us were very kind and welcoming. They even gave us an order of spring rolls on the house. It was a great meal with great service and we will be back. Thank you Great Wall!“

“We've been eating here for over 20 years and it has always been good. It is recently under new management and the way some items are prepared has changed, but still very tasty -- just a new twist on an old favorite. The one thing the new management needs is someone who knows their way around a bar. The people there this week had a very limited range of knowledge about drinks (gin on the rocks got a blank look), but once you explained they happily made a very acceptable drink.“

“Such a nice place right at the start of china town. The sushi is so fresh, recommend the salmon roll, salmon avocado and tuna avocado. The crispy tuna rice was so yummy. Miso soup always hits the spot, the chicken teriyaki was also yummy. The prices are so good for happy hour. Perfect lunch spot!“

“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.“

“we ordered chongqing chicken, beef noodles, and soup dumplings which were all excellent! portion sizes for the meat was way better than most chinese places. the wait staff are super attentive and very nice and friendly. a surprise find of a restaurant, highly recommend.“

“In DC for 6 days, if it weren’t for family gatherings that included tons of food, I Would Have EATEN HERE EVERYDAY! Seriously love, the Love! Bring some of this great food to Boston!😘“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“I had dinner with my friends at this place for several times. The food is good. i am not happy about the recent mooncake order. My assorted flavor order (6) contains only purple yam and mix nuts. Purple yam flavor is not listed in the original order website. The most similar one is purple yam and egg yolk. My expectation would be one cake for each flavor with one / two duplicates. Then I made the call for confirmation, I was told that the assorted flavor order are picked by mooncake master. It would more helpful to specify such information in the website. Otherwise, a little disappointed after one month wait.“

“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.“

“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.“

“super pretty cafe with great selection of food and pastries! the braised chicken and tofu rice bowl is delicious will definitely be ordering again…. also great place to bring if u/your friend is vegan they have a lot of options i order even though i eat meat :p“

“General tso's chicken was actually crispy. For once, I ate the entire chicken with broccoli dinner combo. Perhaps the best chinese-american restaurant for the area, but that standard varies with your taste, sauce preference, spiciness, etc ??‍♀️“

“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.“

“Not only is every dish delicious, but the service at Isshin is so warm, so welcome and so lovely. Secret menu item is the handmade dumplings (they have two types so ask for these specifically). Their miso soup is very rich but not overly salty, which can be difficult to find, yet it is here daily and for a good price. I’m particularly in love with their udon noddles, which I get vegetarian with tofu, and the veggies are perfectly crisp. Their sushi rolls are fresh and I never get the seaweed burps. They know us when we walk in and make my wife and I feel like family. Become a regular, it’s worth it.“

“It’s a staple on my list of comfort places to go. I usually deal with Stephanie and shes always courteous. The food is also usually consistently good.

Came in today and my order included 5 wings split. Tina made it a meal and I didn’t notice till I got home. There was a bit of a misunderstanding when I called in regarding it but she took my name and number and will provide a credit next time I’m in so that was resolved. This review is to keep them accountable for the next time I’m in the restaurant since I don’t know when that’ll be next.

Also, the place is REALLY clean. Love that for all of us“

“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!“

“I ordered some wings for the Super Bowl.
Let me tell you. First thing first. Customer service was top notch. The lady looked out by taking my order even though they are closed on Sunday. Except for Catering orders.

Wings were on point. Definitely my go to spot.“

“Authentic, no-frills, all-flavor DC carry-out food, with fried chicken wings, original-style DC mambo sauce, fried rice with plenty of onions and bean sprouts, french fries made as you ask with salt, pepper, ketchup, a steak and cheese with seasoned meat and plenty of fillings, I prefer getting it with everything and hot peppers, and it was the nostalgic, savory taste I'd been looking for since loving in DC and moving to VA 10 years ago. This spot has great food. Make sure you have Zelle or cash, they don't take credit cards and there's an ATM inside.
I got a half steak and cheese woth everything on it plus hot peppers, an order of French fries with salt, pepper, ketchup, and 3 wings with fried rice with mambo sauce on everything. Plus I got an extra container of mambo sauce for dipping. It was less than $20. Wait time was maybe 10 minutes.“

“I went here before seeing a show at signature theater. The food was incredible. The garlic shrimp dumplings, which were packed with shrimp in a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the orangish chicken, which was a large portion, crispy, and delicious. The iced coffee was great too. Definitely going back!“

“This is the best Chinese food I've ever had. The vegetables were so fresh, they really tantalized my taste buds. The staff were very friendly, the prices and portions were great, and the restaurant was clean and quiet. In short, this Chinese restaurant is definitely worth a try! 👍👍👍“

“Delicious everything!!! I usually make my own tabouleh, but there’s is so great I get it from Muncheez. And the labne is the best. My daughter loves the shawarmas. Love the drinks too!!!“
