50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Glen Allen

“Food was excellent and so was the server Owner was very attentive as well“

“Went to Chen's for lunch today and the food was excellent as usual. Haven't been in years as I live in Chesterfield, but while working in Innsbrook ordered from there for years. It was nice to be greeted warmly, service was prompt and attentive and my Moo Shu Pork was a walk down memory lane. Delicious. Will definitely go again soon.“

“I go to this location since it is very close to work and on the way home,the food is okay,their entrees have more veggies than protein,of course their portions changed as well for the last couple years BUT their workers are super nice and pleasant. Brandon is a gem,such a nice person,always kind and friendly,every time i go there( after a loooong tiring day of work) this kid makes my day. His professionalism and devotion are remarkable. This kid deserves a raise and recognition.“

“Peter changs is the most authentic Chinese restaurant that I know of. a close second would be Full Kee on horsepin off of broad. but P.Cheng's is a combo of traditional grandma like made hot pots with a twist of today to some beautifully created food art type appatisers. the scallion bubble packed is a delightfully fun munch. we ordered peking duck for take-out tonight. my husband will drive across town to get it as we are in Midlothian. the online order menue is not working. the price listed is 35.00. However the menue will not allow me to even register or order. I called we were told the price of the dish is 65.00$$$! we have pking duck 1/yr on NYE and it's my favorite Chinese Dish . so we bit the bullet and ordered. when we asked about the price difference we were told something that y'all should know.... we were told ...oh. we rais our prices around Christmas! Well thanx PETER CHANG. This better be the Best pking duck I could even imagine. This is what you think of your customers SMH.. I'm not sure that I will continue dinning with you in the future. what a shame. such good food and during the Christmas season most places offer something special to show appreciation to their patrons. But your establishments behavior reminds me od a certain Character in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. lol interesting that the Walt Disney version of this story Scrooge I'd played by a Duck... 😆😅🤣😂 I'll report back after my husband returns with this golden dinner.“

“Food was phenomenal, but the smoked duck and the grouper special were just unbelievable. I wish I'd gotten the name of the guy that suggested we try it when I called, he wanted to know what I thought so here's your answer.“

“After this place has been on “RVA Restaurants to Try” list for about 3 years, this was our first time eating at Fat Dragon, but it certainly not be our last! The wonton soup was the best my mother has ever tasted…keep in mind, she’s traveled all over the world. The ginger dressing was so delicious, I asked the server if they sold it in bottles. The garlic chicken and basil beef were both so tender and flavorful, I would highly recommend them both. And last but not least, our server was great! Do not wait to try this place like I did!!!! Go now!“

“My daughter and I stopped here for lunch, and it was amazing! We finally found some delicious dim sum with great portion sizes and excellent customer service. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back for more. There's a lot of variety, and I especially love that they offer roasted pork, duck, and chicken!“

“Excellent I’m a known chef visiting VCU in Richmond, Virginia and saw there were great Chinese places. Since 1981 I’ve loved however not found many legit shredded pork in garlic sauce dishes. They nailed it, this classic Sichuan dish . When she placed on the table I had flash backs to Houston Texas the last time I actually ordered the dish as every place did it no justice. If you’ve never tried its spicy, salty, little acidic. Steamed rice has to be and was perfect. I started with a great hot and sour soup and then the green onion pancake. The pancake golden brown, crispy, cooked perfect. The soup a great blend had me sweating. Only negative is I’m from Georgia.“

“I came in during the day and had a great experience at P.F. Chang’s thanks to our server, Marta. She was kind and attentive from the moment we sat down. I have a fish allergy and she made sure everything I ordered was safe, carefully checking ingredients and offering alternatives. It made me feel confident and taken care of.

We were also celebrating my friend’s birthday and Marta brought out sparklers with dessert, which completely made her day. It was such a thoughtful gesture and really added something special to the moment. Marta will definitely be my regular server from now on. Thank you for making our visit so memorable. We’ll be back soon!“

“I've been happily stopping at Hunan East, nearly every Saturday, to fill up a take-out tray from their buffet, which has many healthful options, with stir-fried meat and vegetables, all cooked just enough. I get enough food for 4 meals, for the price of two, and that's with a tip (just my choice, not expected, and I serve myself).“

“Wonderful food best Chinese cuisine in town very good would recommend to any Chinese food lovers definitely top notch and well made“

“The food is AMAZING. The eggrolls were missing from my doordash delivery, and I called and he was ready to use his resources to make sure I got them and I heard the woman telling him she was sure they were in the order since she cooked them to order. I placed a second order the next day and he included the eggrolls with that order. The food is so good, and the customer service is seriously on point as well. On the rare occations that I do order food, this will 100% be my go to, the singapore curry noodles are out of this world (and I am not usually a fan of curry). I very highly recommend!“

“My brother lives in Henrico, VA. He had right hip surgery and I spent around 30-plus days with him.
I Googled for Chinese delivery in his area. No shortage of options.
I chose Yum Yum Good Chinese Restaurant on 6/30.. $97.12. (20+% tip) The delivery as well as the food was great. It was so delicious that I ordered on 7/7 ($152.26), 7/14 ($189.50) and before I returned home, ordered on 7/18 ($130.33).
Yes, the food lasted for more than one meal. I was most pleased with their attention to my comments when ordering. Spot on.
As you can see I did not try another Chinese restaurant in the area because the service and food provided was absolutely awesome, filling, and tasty.
I will miss ordering from this restaurant.“

“Food was fabulous !! We enjoyed it all !“

“Another favorite Chinese spot of ours in Richmond! These guys have mastered the art of mock meat. Got the Mock Lemon Chicken (amazing) alongside the Mei Fun, Crab Rangoon, and Fried Veggie Dumplings (THESE are must-trys).
Will definitely be back! Very nice too that the staff called after I placed the online order just to be sure I'd ordered from that location. 🙂 🥟🍜“

“You must try SA-Cha Chicken with brown rice! The won ton soup is amazing and tasty. Service is spot on and if you dine in the waitstaff is attentive. The decor in restaurant is dated and does need a refresh. My reviews are honest and truthful. Enjoy a meal that is full of value and portion size.“

“This is a pleasant surprise… My wife and I are new to the area (6 Months) and over the past few months we have been in town have been trying places to compare to our classic back home “American style Chinese” favorites. This was a great meal. We called, placed to go, and drove 9 minutes to pick up our “ready in 15” order. When I walked in the man working the counter was bringing that all to familiar brown paper bag from the back. Just our luck it was my order, we had a great quick conversation and I headed on my way. Now, for the food, that’s what matters because after all this is not a sit down style place, so ignore those negative atmosphere reviews…

The order was $52 for crab Rangoon, steamed pork dumplings (real dumps, not someone trying to pass Goyza off as a dumpling!) and 2 warm fresh egg rolls. The mains were General tso’ chicken and a happy family. One order white and one order fried rice. All were a great balance of flavor, meat, vegetables and sauce. We are extremely pleased with the overall experience and I recommend anyone looking for a quick filling meal show this spot some support.

If you want a full sit down with a perfect designed interior and a wait staff, go to Shortpump and pay for it.

Enjoy!“

“I’m biased, I used to work for Tina. Yeah she can be rude. But she also gave me and my friends decent jobs, celebrated Chinese new year with us, and let my Dad hang out at the restaurant when I worked on holidays. I’ve dealt with ruder restaurants in NYC for double the price. The food is good. She’s usually overwhelmed with orders when it’s busy and English isn’t her first language. If you want to avoid any issue when you order just say it how it’s listed and don’t ask specifics or changes. “Mock Ham Lo Mein Extra Spicy” and say “that’s it.” If you’re looking for a bespoke experience this ain’t it. Hungry and want a a lot of Chinese take-out with a bunch of vegan options? This is the spot.“

“The take out is super good. I live in NJ and go to Va. very often. Being near NYC I know Chinese food. This is excellent. Fresh and truely yummy and great value for the price. On top of all that the service is great and super friendly. They smile and are very nice and that alone makes me come back often. Inside is not beautiful to eat in but for take out it is the best in Richmond and I am a picky eater. Five stars for sure. Go and see, it is super.“

“Great food and fast service!! Our server moved like lightning. Def recommend Nachos with up charge for Korean brisket and the brisket taco and pork belly taco.“

“I've always enjoyed their food. We've ordered several dishes and have enjoyed all of them. We order take-out and the food is always hot and ready on time. Also, the owners are friendly and the place is clean.“

“Preface: If I ever "look" for somewhere quick to eat, it will be Chinese, and I always order Orange chicken. Some places it's good, others... meh.Lunch break? Of course I'll try a new Chinese take out. I received a pleasant greeting and proceeded with the standard process: order... 10 minutes later food is in hand and I'm whistling back to the truck. Took a short drive to Tuckahoe Creek Boardwalk to relax with scenery.Dragon City Orange chicken is phenomenal!I asked for exxtra spicy and the chef sliced the chilies before tossing em in the mix. Not too sugary, and plenty of orange rinds. Pork fried rice was delicious, fresh and juicy pieces of pork, not some crispy bacon bits. I forgot to ask them to add an egg to the rice, but I can't spoil myself too much.Satisfaction accomplished, thank you!Photo taken down the road at Tuckahoe Creek Boardwalk, check it out!“

“We ordered 8 dishes and the food was absolutely stellar. Probably top 3 Chinese restaurants I’ve had.

The flavors, perfect, the meats were all good cuts (the pork fried rice had nice big chunks of lean pork). The only thing I would pick at is there was a little too much oil in the Singapore mei fun, for my taste. But still delicious. I loved the thin sliced beef in the Singapore noodles.“

“We had a great food here! I love Pandas food and I’m a frequent visitor. This time my friend and I had Orange Chicken Bowl & Shrimp with Fried Rice and we loved it. Also we tried the watermelon mango flavored refresher. The store seemed clean, friendly staff, not too busy and a nice and clean restroom. Also they a plenty of parking.“

“The restaurant needs some cleaning and spruceing up but the food was amazing and service was great. Best Tops China I've ever had. The rice was fresh and perfectly cooked. The shrimp and brocoli was flavorful and delicious. The portion size was decent.“

“Fast delivery because my partner delivers good and the owners are friendly . Recommend wonton soup and lo mein.“

“Definitely for takeout, not for dining in. So far it’s had the best Chinese food of any restaurant I’ve tried in this area. The pork fried rice has the tasty chopped pork I expect to get instead of the little stringy brown pieces that many Chinese restaurants are using now. However, it lacked flavor. The beef with vegetables has very tender pieces of meat, and the vegetables taste very fresh. It’s very good, but needs a bit more brown sauce. The boneless barbecued pork has wonderful flavor but too many pieces with gristle, so I don’t recommend it. Overall, I’ve had two good experiences with Tings’s so far, and I will be ordering from them again.“

“Gluten free options and nothing is greasy.“

“I love Ming’s! We go here any and every time we want Chinese food. It’s priced right and taste like authenticity. Funky hours of operation but this is our go-to for fried rice, lo mein, and sweet & sour chicken. Love the guys working in the back! Every time I walk in they greet me even when their phones are ringing off the hook for DoorDash.“

“We are so happy we tried them out and that they will be open on Christmas. The sweet and sour chicken, egg drop soup and eggroll were amazing!

Vegetarian options: I love that they have General TSo's tofu and look forward to it!“

“Eastern is our absolutely favorite take-out Chinese restaurant! They have the best crab rangoon in town, the best fried rice & their delivery is always so quick! They are also always so friendly! Highly recommend!!

Vegetarian options: Their bean curd options are delicious!“

“I just moved here and had a struggle finding a good Chinese restaurant in the last 4 months until I found Li’s Garden. The food is great I love the rice with the bean sprouts! Eggrolls are great I can’t say a bad thing about this place! I’ll definitely be coming back as long as I live here!!!“

“Wok N Roll is a Restaurant I always love visiting. The Staff are always so kind and polite. The food is prepared fresh and hot and always on time. I would recommend anyone in Richmond or the surrounding areas to give them a try. They definitely deserve 5 🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐ !!!!😊“

“Always great food and friendly service. Very fast and the combination Egg Foo Young is always great with plenty of leftovers! Other great menu items are Kung Pao chicken and Hunan shrimp. This is my go to when ordering in close to home! Food is always ready very fast too!“

“This is my fast and quality go to for takeout Chinese. Fairly typical menu, lunch and combo specials, but with a few Thai options, as well. I have enjoyed their food dozens of times and they were a staple of mine during the craziness of 2020. It is take out only. Just a heads up. Highlights include, dumplings, hot and sour soup, moo shu, pad Thai, and orange chicken. Get your fav and enjoy the huge portions and good value. Local Family owned and operated.“

“This is the best value-for-money Chinese food!!!! I had the best Thursday night eating takeout Fujian. The sizes are ample! The prices are very reasonable! Their speed is also remarkable. With everything going up in price I am very grateful for their meals and service.“

“HOLY F*CK! They fried the hell out of that damn orange chicken! Sauce on point, perfectly crispy, meat wasn’t stringy, nice and tender. It was probably a once in a blue moon Quality from the cheaper chinese food spots. Paired with a blunt? Mannnnnn I aint never had something so good bruh wish I could go back in time fr, simple done perfect ?“

“I’ve been eating at Top’s China on Brook Rd for a long time and have never had an issue with cleanliness or quality. The food is always sealed well and the staff has been consistently professional.

I understand everyone’s experience can be different, but based on what I’ve seen and experienced, this place takes food safety seriously. Just wanted to share a different perspective for anyone reading the reviews.“

“I always come here every week to grab a quick bite. My children enjoy this spot as they keep getting the same order each night! I always get the sesame chicken with white rice and my kids like to order their chicken broccoli with lomien noodles. The restaurant is family owned so everyone here is nice and friendly. I've been coming here for so long that the workers know it is me when I am ordering over the phone! I highly recommend this place to anyone in Richmond area looking for good Chinese food.“

“The shrimp is always tasty and the servings are hearty in size. The beef, chicken, pork dishes are fresh and the vegetables are flavored just right. Sophia is a wonderfully pleasant hostess who is always friendly, kind and thoughtful. They are also helpful with dietary concerns. Once I went to Zheng’s, I have continued going there on a regular basis. I believe you will like it too if you haven’t already tried it before.. I also like the lunch menu with either a spring roll, egg roll or soup with the entree and rice the way you want it.“

“The best Panda Express store I have ever been to. Fresh food and clean atmosphere. Above all, a very big shout out to the manager Mr. DeMarcus. He went out of his way to make sure we have an amazing experience at this store. Small gestures like bringing salt and pepper from the kitchen (since they did not have packages for customer use) can make a huge impression on customers. Thank you for your amazing hospitality. Will definitely come back!! :)“

“Pretty good food.. they take longer than the estimate they give you, so if they say 20 min prepare to wait 40Also the Kid that takes all the orders doesn’t pay attention as most high school/middle school kids do, so make sure you actually have the right orderBest Chinese Food this side of Richmond though“

“Another classic Chinese takeout near the VCU campus. I got a combination General Tso Chicken and friend dumplings. For these smaller Chinese takeouts, the combination orders ~$10 are usually the main order if you want a filling food for a dinner or lunch.

As someone biased to mediocre Chinese takeout, this does hit the spot without being too expensive and supporting a family-owned business.“

“Great food, nice portions!“

“If you left a bad review for this place, you probably microwave your rice. This is exactly what good Chinese takeout should be—flavorful, filling, and made fresh. Yes, you might wait a little—it’s because they’re actually busy doing things right in a real kitchen, not some reheated chain nonsense. Super well-run operation“

“Pros: The food was good, big egg rolls, and affordable. Fast service when calling in to orderCons: The outside wasn't pleasant or welcoming , nor was the inside. I thought I was in the wrong place cluttered everywhere, not fit to dine in.“
