50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Herndon

“First time trying them, got orange chicken lunch special and a BBQ spareribs appetizer. Oh man, was it fantastic and hit the spot. The spareribs were delicious, the orange chicken was still hot when I got back to my work, everything tasted great, good portions, good price, I will definitely be back for more!!

I ordered from parking spot at my work and I got the alert the food was ready for pickup right when I parked at the restaurant. Outstanding.“

“The inside is not that great looking, but that's not why you'd come. The food and the service are amazing. I ordered beef Lo Mein, and got a huge plate of food. Also had fried dumplings and some chicken and broccoli. The portions were large, the service was really, and the food came out quick. Will definitely be going back!“

“Nice menu for “fast casual” with some flair. The fresh ginger and red chili oil are nice condiments for the noodles. Loved Thai iced tea. So much more I’d like to try.“

“This is a sweet Mom and Pop takeout restaurant where you can dine in if you want. Had dinner kung pao shrimp, dee-ee-lish! Order and pickup in person based on lame reviews. Absolutely wonderfully prepared with FRESH ingredients. Best k.p. shrimp I've had so far in nova.“

“Excellent food. I've been looking for good Chinese food since moving here a couple of years ago. I've tried quite a few places and am so happy I've finally found it here. I don't understand why the ratings are not higher.“

“The food was pretty good. Not too salty but flavorful. But I ordered the Szechuan chicken because of the pic that's attached to them in photos on Google and it looked nothing like that. It was mostly vegetables. So again it was good, but was not what I was expecting. I want to try the pic that shows up.. and it was within the lunchtime hours but I got charged dinner prices. I'm pretty sure the lo mein I ordered was in a lunchtime-sized container and wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be after asking for it to be spicy. I'll try then again but I guess i gotta be more specific or ask more questions..“

“A very good value for the price. My scallops and shrimp were huge in a $15 dinner. They seem to have a very big take out business with many regular customers that they greeted by name.“

“Beautiful restaurant and amazing atmosphere. Food is great as well the reason why I am reducing the number of stars is, among my several visits last visit was terrible. I often pick up friends and family from airport and directly go to this place. The servers need to improve their communication, services and better dealing.
I ordered something which wasn’t taken correctly and we waited for 45mins and order wasn’t even complete. And server was a bit rude in response instead of accepting his mistake.“

“We had a dine in dinner and were very disappointed. Service was very slow. Rice was served 15 minutes early we were hungry so ended up finishing the rice. Entrees came lot later. Food came cold“

“We had an amazing server, Natalie, who took great care of us, answering questions and making delicious recommendations! Natalie provided excellent service, was friendly and kind as well as patient with our numerous requests. She kept smiling and serving us delicious food! We were very impressed with her, and as it's been a while since we have dined at PF Chang's, we look forward to returning and requesting her table! The manager also came by to make sure all needs were met and we were pleased to let him know of our excellent experience.“

“Thanks for the card trick Erick!!
Dumpling are great. Go to Crystal Shrimp
Ugly dumplings, red chicken soup dumplings OMG SO GOOD! Green beans ugly style omg I can eat a whole bowl of that by myself. Braised baby back ribs with a side of rice omg yummmm! Foods we didn’t like Chicken and broccoli didn’t taste authentic, chicken stir fried noodles no taste, steamed buns there was a smell to it and couldn’t taste better and the Mongolian beef. We realized food isn’t the best but the dumplings are the way to go. Since they recently opened we’ve been back 5 times lol. Definitely a must try! Drinks taste good as well.“

“Their hot and sour soup is AMAZING!!“

“We entered the place greeted by a beautiful interior and friendly workers. The menu was very easy to navigate. They were very kind with informing me with allergens and took it into note with our dishes. When the food came out it was delicious, the warm spices and hot steam that emerged. The pork dumpling was my personal favorite, rich juicy broth inside and the flavorful pork. We were full and extremely satisfied with the meal. We loved it here and will definitely be returning again.“

“Had another great meal at Yens. Crispy Szechuan Beef, Chicken Lomein, great little dessert bun! Not pictured the great pork potstickers! Nice ginger flavor on those! Service on point, food hot tasty & clean tasting flavors. A gem in our community. Owners are very nice, I witnessed her once bring a fry pan out for customer to try sauce & she thought was too spicy so owner asked what she liked & invented her a new dish, and put it in computer so she could order it again. That sealed it as a winner for me.“

“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.“

“My guests loved the chicken 65! Great customer service!“

“Must try their mala dry hotpot—it’s incredibly flavorful! I personally love this place, but be prepared for bold flavors as it’s extremely salty and spicy, which can be a bit much afterward. The taste, however, is very authentic. Keep in mind that the setup isn’t the most comfortable for dining in due to the high volume of takeout orders. While the staff will take your order, the service can sometimes be a bit inattentive.“

“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!“

“This place has potential. I had Orange Chicken, Egg Roll, and Fried Wontons.
Fried Wontons had a good amount of meat. The wrapping needs to be thicker. That would make it Great, but "as is" it is still very good.
Egg roll wrapping was great. The filling was Good, but it needs some meat like roast pork just like they make it in NYC. They are pretty good as well.
Orange Chicken is a Must Have. Definitely, one of the best orange chicken I ever had. Not on the menu, you need to order it directly. Highly recommend.
Pricing was average.
I was reading other reviews and people we stating that food is not consistently good. I order again some other time to verify.

Ordered again. I recommend the Mongolian beef. The tofu with mixed vegetables is not that good.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“Always great food and excellent customer service!“

“My neice wanted to go to her favorite place for her 18th bday, so my sister called the Chin Chin Cafe and they said no problem. They had reserved tables when I arrived so I could decorate. Raymond was the MOD and was very helpful. We also had great customer service from the 3 employees working that night, it could not have gone any smoother! The timing of the food coming out was perfect!! Everything from the appetizers to the sushi to the main course dishes were delicious and plentiful. All our guests, especially the bday girl, were very happy. if you have not tried them yet, do yourself a favor and do so. Thank you to everyone at Chin Chin Cafe for helping to make it a perfect celebrationof our beautiful girl!!“

“Ordered one order of orange chicken and they delivered it to me in under 10 minutes. The fried rice is fresh the vegetables tasted fresh. The chicken mostly white meat. I can tell they use clean oil when cooking the rice. The food tastes very good.“

“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.“

“Would love to give 10 stars for service! We ordered for wife who’s pregnant shortly before closing and we were running late to pick it up. One of the staff members stayed 20 minutes past closing to make sure we got our food. Seriously, a deep and sincere thank you to the staff at Hunan for waiting for us when they could have very denied our order all together. Thank you thank you thank you!!“

“My husband and parents-in-law Cantonese, they tried a lot of Cantonese dishes in China and in the US, including some very famous restaurants. They are pretty picky in Cantonese dishes, but today when they tried this restaurant, they all agreed that it is among the best. We ordered four Cantonese dishes and a bowl of noodles. All of them are delicious! And the price turned out pretty reasonable. We all decide that we will come back next time when we travel to here again.“

“Delicious food, large portions,and wonderful owners!“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“Our Monday night dinner group has come back here multiple times. The smell is wonderful immediately when you walk in. The host and all staff there are super friendly and always fun to chat with. Our waiter had our whole table laughing every time we engaged with him. Everyone's orders were perfectly cooked, nice sized portions and came out very quickly. I personally love the Malaysian Iced Coffee, Roti Canai and Chicken Satay. Our group had noodle dishes, beef, lamb, seafood....all was wonderful. The flavors are vivid and bright, delicious and clearly comfort food. I promise you, you'll enjoy your trip here. Great food for everyone. Very nice open atmosphere and every table seemed very content.“

“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.“

“Great experience! It’s my first time and it was so easy to order on the phone and the lady on the phone was super nice. Food looks nice and fresh and great portion I saw her pile it to top in container after making it. It was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint“

“Restaurant Review: Dumpling King – A Surprising Gem in Centreville

I’ve had Chinese food in cities around the world — from upscale restaurants to hole-in-the-wall spots — and Dumpling King in Centreville genuinely surprised me. Tucked away in a modest strip mall, it would be easy to overlook. But don’t.

What stood out most wasn’t actually the dumplings (though they were solid) — it was Lily’s fried rice. Complex, balanced, and far more interesting than what you’ll find at most places, it had that elusive “wok hei” quality that gives great Chinese cooking its soul. Every bite felt intentional and well-crafted.

The food here punches far above its weight class, both in quality and value. It’s the kind of place that quietly delivers an experience well beyond expectations — and that’s what makes it worth talking about. Did I mention we were a party of 11?“

“I preface this by saying I ordered takeout from them. The food was absolutely delicious. If you ask for spicy, that's exactly what they'll give you! The chicken was very tender and the pork ear was reasonably priced and very flavorful. The flavors were very authentic without cutting corners. Give it a chance!“

“Great taste, full of flavor! Great variety of choices! Fast service!“

“Food is always hot, fast, and delicious! I always get the Singapore noodles not spicy without shrimp. (I have an allergy) and it is right everytime. They also have amazing miso soup and general Tsos. Pick this one.“

“We got the general tso, sweet and sour chicken, and crispy beef and it was all cooked well and tasty. The owner was super friendly too. We usually frequent china king but decided to try this place due to some logistical issues and was pleasantly surprised. We will definitely eat here again.“

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

“I have been coming to this restaurant for 5 years now and I would highly recommend the lo mein. The shrimp lo mein is me and my wife's favorite. They don't use tiny cocktail shrimp that is typical of most places. They use the jumbo shrimp you would find at a fancy seafood restaurant. Other dishes I have tried were good too.“

“I was doing PT next door and it smelled so good, so I broke down and ordered chicken fried rice, fried potstickers, beef cho cho, pork lo mein, wontons. everything was delish! I continued to order different things sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, sezhuan chicken (a little hot for me but still good), Hot and sour soup and wonton soup all was so good, my fav is fried pot stickers and sesame chicken. but everything has been so good, I use a walker and customer service was excellent they opened the door for me to get through and and out to table while I waited for cab to pick me up. I have also ordered for delivery.“

“Amazing!! Not only was the service impecable, but the food was absolutely delicious! This will be our next go-to spot! You have to try the spicy fried potstickers 🥟 , don katsu, and Jjajangmyeon, with a cold Hite beer. 🍺 Hands down one of the friendliest restaurant owners I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to go back!!!“

“I come to this location often. Everything I come with my family we are served and taken care of very well. Zakwan is always coming by asking if everything ok. He is very timely with welcoming us and getting us our seating. He makes the entire experience here worth while.“

“Food was very good, we got the pork and chicken fried rice and the egg drop and wonton soup. Soup was well seasoned. Overall solid Chinese food as you’d expect. The lady working there when I picked my food up was very nice and the little store was clean. Good vibes :)“

“Take out Chinese food. Very good tasting. Fast service. Reasonable priced.“

“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!“

“The menu offers a wide range of dishes that cater to every palate, whether you’re craving classic favorites like General Tso’s Chicken or more adventurous flavors like Szechuan-style seafood. Each dish is expertly prepared with fresh ingredients and balanced seasoning, reflecting true culinary craftsmanship. The highlight of my visit was the general so chicken and the combination fried rice which were bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, making it great for sharing or taking some delicious leftovers home.“

“Great food. We've been going here for more than 4 years and we always get great food and service“

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE PEI WEI!!! I COULD EAT IT EVERYDAY!!“

“This is a friendly and welcoming place managed by wonderful owners who care about customers. When our family went we had these jajamyung noodles and they were so soft and delicious. Main courses like tang soo yuk was well marinated and great to taste. The chef is skilled and the staff is kind. Give this place a try as the pricing is also fair as well.“

“역시 튀김류와 고추짬뽕 매생이 누룽지탕은 최고인듯 합니다! ^^“
