21 Best Chinese Restaurants near Hopewell

“Can never go wrong, good food at a good price!“

“When I want Chinese food this is my go to spot. They don't use those itty bitty salad shrimp in their shrimp fried rice and the food is always tasty and never too dry or too greasy. I got a platter of dumplings half fried, half steamed and a platter of their vegetable spring rolls and it was a hit with my guests. People were surprised when I told them where I got them.“

“Fried rice is delicious. Crab Rangoons are amazing too. They load it up with crab meat and not a lot of places do that anymore. I got the garlic chicken which is spicy, but again, not a lot of places make it spicy enough. They did make it spicy! And it was delicious! Definitely coming back and getting more.“

“Any other day I would give 5's across the board. 12/30/24 2:55pm. Went in and ordered lunch special. After waiting and watching people come and go they looked at me and asked what I was waiting for. Apparently they forgot my order. I was there 25 mins before I received my order. The normal young lady that's always there wasn't there. After my food got ready I got a thank you. No apologies. Will still visit because this is one of my favorite places. If I don't see the young lady I will pass.“

“I ordered out, so I didn't rate the service or atmosphere. When I looked up Chinese food places, this one came up highly rated. I can vouch for that! While I was waiting for them to prepare my lunch, people were constantly streaming in. I can understand why. The food tasted great, was fairly priced, and I was on my way in no time . I highly recommend this place!“

“We have been eating there for 30 plus years and the food is delicious. Great service and the food is served hot . Our favorite place to go. I do like the old atmosphere better. Don't care for the streamline updates. I guess we were used to the other decor. Highly recommended.“

“I ordered the vegetable chow mei fun. It was kind of dry but i could handle that. My problem was, very little vegetables. I only saw 1 strip of onion, small strips of carrots, and very little baby broccoli florets. I asked for the vegetable mei fun so i would have enough vegetables. I literally had to search for the vegetables. I feel cheated and disappointed. I Don't mean to complain, but i think you should be more conscious of this type thing. I really wanted my vegetables.

“China Star is my #1 spot for Chinese food in this area now. I love the staff too. Keep up the good work! ??

*First review, 7 months ago*
I've tried a couple other spots in the area for lunch breaks. My coworkers and I keep coming back to China Star in Petersburg. Some of the best Chinese food we've had in years. ????“

“The steamed dumplings one of my favorite dumplings. You can tell it's a family recipe and their custom dumpling sauce is addictive.

Even though I moved away from the restaurant a while ago. I'll order two sets of dumplings for myself and a third one to play distraction so no one knows I have two sets of secret dumplings to keep all to myself.

They still taste just as amazing from when I tried them in 2014 to present day“

“If you're thinking about coming here on Sunday, get ready to throw elbows with the Episcopalians around 1230. I was seated at 1145. I was the only person in the house, but boy, did it fill up fast. Had the luncheon special Kung Pao chicken. Filling and full of flavor. Wasn't that spicy, so be adventurous and try it. Lunch comes with soup or egg roll / steamed or fried rice.“

“This is the best Asian buffet I've ever been to. I could say probably after 30 years, most are kind of dingy and the food always seems not kept fresh on the hot bar. This place, everything looks fresh, they are regularly changing out food and refreshing the pans. Excellent Chinese restaurant. If you like Asian food mixed with some American favorites, this is definitely the place. First time I've ever been here. Will be the first of many to come.“

“In love with all this food.
I ordered fried rice, chicken broccoli, orange chicken, dumplings, wonton soup.
God bless their hand, that’s food was glorious. If you are visiting Petersburg Va you got it go to this Chinese restaurant, you won’t regret. Believe me!
You will thank me later 🙃“

“Fast and delicious food. Pick up is convenient. Wonderful people“

“The place was clean , don't get me wrong , but they had a lunch buffet before COVID and the setup is still there , including the labels for the food and sign with price of the buffet .
I got an Orange Chicken combo and a Sesame Chicken combo , neither of which I'd purchased from them since COVID . The smell of everything inside the dishes smelled just like they used to way back when . The taste and texture were also pretty much as I remember , down to the dash of cinnamon sugar on the egg rolls .
I will definitely be putting this place back near the top of my choices on payday Friday when I treat myself.“

“August 8th 2025 That the the happiest Happy family dish I have ever had!!!! I ran in just before closing time. The plastic to go container was jammed packed full of meats and seafood. It was not bogged down with veggies either. It was wonderful, flavorful and I was very impressed 😁😁😁. Their egg drop soup actually had a yummy chicken flavor that is very hard to come by these days. Thank you China taste in Varina Va you blew that 1 out of the park!!!“

“I don't understand some of these reviews. I go here so often and have never had a bad experience, bad food, bad service. I pay on-line, in store (with cash or card), absolutely no issues at all. I get told Thank you several times before leaving. 🤷‍♂️“

“So glad I didn’t judge the book by the cover.

When driving through for a work trip, I needed somewhere to stop for lunch. Looked up hibachi places and thought about skipping this one, but give it a shot hoping the food was really good. I was not let down.

Interior is as you’d expect.
Service was frequently and fast.
Did was plenty and plenty good.

All in all, I’d say this is a goldilocks kind of spot - Just Right.

Parking: Parking was easy and free.“

“I have been eating here for about 15 years and the food is consistently good. The ladies that work here are always very nice and even remember what I always order.“
