47 Best Chinese Restaurants near Glen Allen

“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.“

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

“I walked into the store on Christmas Eve at exactly 9:30 PM and was served by a gentleman named Brandon. He greeted me with a genuine smile and handled my order with full attention and dedication. This man deserves a raise! While he could have been in a bad mood working on Christmas Eve, he chose to stay positive and give his best to his customers. The store was packed, and he was fast and efficient. Brandon comes highly recommended—if any other restaurant is looking to hire him, consider this my letter of recommendation.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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'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).“

“I've been coming to Peking for a couple of years and never had any problems,, it's been 2 weeks ago ate lunch it was around 1145am, had a new young lady serve us,,, I've never seen her there before, she took order and brought food out.. she never came back to check if we needed anything and we never had service such as her's,,my sister noticed she was sitting in the back area on the side on her cell phone texting.the other young men were serving the customers while she avoided her tables, I hope she learns how to be a waitress better than how she did that day“

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

“Best tasting Chinese food in RVA. Period. Absolutely fabulous hosts make you feel like family. It is a small, cozy restaurant, not a lot of fancy decorations, but just right. Have lived in Richmond for 50+ years, this is the place to go. There are one or two others that are very good, but Yum Yum is great!

20251121 Update: Very happy to have to amend review, dining in service is back! New interior is warm and welcoming, beautiful ambiance.“

“I came for my birthday and it was so good. Nathaniel’s service was exceptional and really made our experience great. When we come back, we will definitely ask to be seated in Nathaniel’s section. We enjoyed dumplings and chicken lettuce wraps for our appetizers, all entrees were delicious, and dessert was great, especially the peanut butter chocolate dessert.“

“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.“

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

“We have ordered here for years and have always loved the food. It's generally our favorite Chinese in the area. Unfortunately the last 2 times we have had missing items. It wasn't a huge deal (especially the first time - just missing an egg roll) but today we were missing 2 egg rolls. I really don't like to complain but it seems they may be going down hill which I really hate. Please pay attention when packing orders and start checking everything before you leave!“

“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.“

“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 love this new spot! Sky gives the most authentic and warm welcome not just to me but to everyone who stop by. He is patient, and recommends all top dishes. I ordered togo, the portion size was HUGE!!!! I got some chicken egg rolls, Singapore noodles, General sauce chicken and pork fried rice. Everything was perfect. From the curry flavor in the noodles and the chicken being moist and juicy, it was all worth it. If you are looking to try a new Chinese spot, give this a try for sure!“

“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 been trying new things here at this place. I’ve been getting the chicken and broccoli 🥦. Wonderful. I didn’t care for the sesame chicken, more than likely it was because the chicken was not fried crispy as I requested. Other than that one experience, the owners are nice people.“

“Gluten free options and nothing is greasy.“

“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 have been getting carry-out from Dragon City since they've opened (15+years) and have not found a better place for Chinese Takeout . The food is consistently good, with very fresh veggies, quality meats, and great flavors. The owners are incredibly nice and hardworking, the place is super clean. There are a few tables to eat in, but it's mostly carry out.“

“This place is a staple Chinese takeout spot for reliable quality, quick service, and affordable large portions. Both their vegetarian and meat options are tasty and consistently delicious! Although the owner is busy and brief, she is a kindhearted woman running her business well.“

“Pretty standard American Chinese spot,
Same menu, etc.
Food quality very decent, serving sizes are good, the chicken sticks were a lil small for 6.25, but I’m fat so it’s for the best.

The hostess was super nice and cute

Real plates

Not the worst place to dine-in.“

“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.“

“Their food is so good! Seemed to recently update their egg rolls and gyoza. They were good before but they are great now! We haven't gotten anything there we don't like! We usually spend $70-$80 for 2, but the portions are so big we usually get 4-6 meals out if it!“

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

“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.“

“Great. Go here!“

“I really love that you can get Chinese-style fast food. The food is fresh & excellent tasting. The service is good. The people are friendly. My only complaint is that it was too noisy there. Loud music playing over the speakers. I could not hear my friend when I was trying to talk on the phone with her. I had to go outside to use my phone. I would recommend take-out if the noise bothers you.“

“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.“

“usually always yummy and spot on never had any issues but i am a bit disappointed today as my Crab Rangoons were overcooked and had BURNT areas and some were shaped oddly and also small which i never experienced, disappointed that they would serve those as i’ve spent money and expected the usual i’ve always been served. still good overall. wish i would have taken photos. usually 5 star but minus 1 for today :(“

“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.“

“I love there food n also their hospitality I've been eating there for years n I definitely recommend them to family & friends & co- workers?

Parking: The side that most likely where u can park is on other side of entrance door“

“I haven't been here sinc the early 2000s when I moved further away. It's just as good as I remember. Pork egg fu Yung was tasty with lots of pork. Shrimp with lobster sauce has a light delicate sauce. Egg roll was tasty. And the food wasn't greasy or too salty. I'll be back sooner.“

“This place is fantastic! You can’t beat the prices, especially the lunch special. The young man who is at the front is always super friendly either in person or on the phone. The food is the best food in the area. And this isn’t just a random review! This is like my 100th order 😂. And I swear these guys are 100/100 with not forgetting a single thing. Whenever I’m in the mood for Chinese it’s no question with my family or friends. We’re getting West Lake.“

“We drive a far distance to come to this restaurant. Their food is always great. They don’t treat you like They want you to get out the store. They treat you very nice and kind and their eggrolls are made fresh. They are so good. I absolutely love them. You can tell that there’s no additives in the food like synthetic. It’s so good.“

“I love this place, the price is good, food is great and the customer service is excellent. Sometimes the kids are around when I go in to pick up my orders. They're great kids. They're so well behaved and cute. This is a working family and a community staple. Thank you guys. Your chicken wings are always PERFECT!“

“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!“

“Ordered for the first time New Year's Eve and couldn't be happier. Beef Lo mein was delicious The general tso's was spicy but not enough to burn you a new one and the steam dumplings were excellent. Pork fried rice as an up charge was worth it. I'll definitely come back here and explore the menu. Food was hot. Ready exactly when I asked it to be and staff was friendly and helpful.“

“Only 2nd time here. Everything was great.. I order crip sesame shrimp. Young lady said it will be 1.50 I said ok. And I got to choose another meat so I got broccoli and beef. SO that was over 12.00 so I got home and I only had 3 shrimp I was very upset to see I had to pay extra and only got 3 shrimp what am I paying extra for.. I took a picture this time at this place which I'm going to start doing so all my followers can see 👀.. I think were paying to much for a plate of rice , broccoli and a few pieces of beef.. this is highway robbery. Everyone have a wonderful evening and enjoy life... p.s. my roommate got rice and orange chicken he had a very nice portion.. I had to wait for some shrimp got done and sorry but disappointed they need to tell us it's a 1.50 more for 3 shrimp unreal ...“

“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!“

“Great food, nice portions!“
