38 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mechanicsville

“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.“

“My family and I have been going to Peking Restaurant for years. It is our favorite restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is unbeatable.“

“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.“

“I live in the neighborhood behind Tops China. I've been going there since they opened over 10 years ago. Excellent food, great prices and super friendly service.“

“First time at Chen's and happy we went there. We have been looking for a local Chinese restaurant that we like and have finally found it. We ordered fried pork dumplings, sauteed green beans, chicken lo mein, and Hunan chicken. All the dishes were very flavorful, and the food was fresh. The wait staff and the owner were very nice and eager to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend.“

“Everything we've had has been tasty. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.“

“Great customer service, clean atmosphere, and the food is amazing! One of my all time favorites | Veggie Singapore Rice Noodles with that little curry kick.“

“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.“

“Great food, friendly staff & no long waits. Highly recommend! ✌🏻🍻“

“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!“

“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).“

“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.“

“My favorite little Chinese food spot in the area. The lady in the front is patient while we order. As well as a guy that answer the phone when i place my order. I didn't feel rushed or anything. The food is always good and fresh, not to mention made quickly. I'd recommend.“

“For years I’ve only eaten Chinese from here! They’re always accurate, very personable and Food is always fresh and yummy. Whenever I order, I order big and they always give a complimentary tea (8) per meal 2 orders with 4 meals each (family deal). And as a long time customer, I appreciate that!“

“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.“

“I tried Lucky Chopsticks for the first time earlier this week and overall I have to say I was impressed. The food was pretty good quality and above average for a Chinese Takeout place. I got the special combination Orange 🐔 which came with fried 🍚 and an egg roll. The best thing about the food was the price and quantity that you get. After taxes my meal was $12.76 and there was enough food for two plates, so that meant two nights of dinner for me. I definitely recommend this place and can't wait to try something else.“

“Vegetarian options: So many great options of vegan food

Kid-friendliness: Lot of nice kids meals and room for kids to move around in

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access to exit in entrance to the restaurant“

“It's a hood favorite. The food is always decent. The cashier lady is a bit short but in her defense, she seemed overwhelmed. If you order delivery through a 3rd party your driver might have to wait longer than usual. The lobby area could use some work. They used to have tables lined up if you wanted to eat inside. There are still tables but not as organized. Despite all that the food is always solid, trust me.“

“Best vegan Chinese food!! Yes, the owner is a little rude, but that’s part of the experience!! So get over yourself…. This place is charming, the experience is unique, and the food is good and cheap. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-16“

“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.“

“Great. Go here!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“I recently ordered the firat time here and got the scallop meal from How Wah Chinese Restaurant, and while the scallops were absolutely amazing perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I was a bit disappointed that the fries were missing from my order. The portion size also felt more like a kid’s meal than a full entrée. That said, the quality of the scallops really stood out, so I’m willing to give them another try and hope for a better experience next time.“

“Got takeout from here last night. Everything was very good - shrimp rolls appeared to be made in-house, Hot & Sour soup had nice flavor & lots of ingredients. We got the Hunan Chicken - tasty! - had a different type of spice than typical Chinese. Also, the Beef with Garlic Sauce, which leaned to sweet rather than spicy despite the little red pepper next to it on the menu. Both had ample & tender meat with a colorful mix of vegetables. All cooked well with lots of sauce - if too much for you, recommend dishing with a slotted spoon. Also, nice crunchies with for the soup!“

“I always come here. I know my food is going to be right, not take too long and delicious! I always get Chicken W/mixed veg and General TSO's. Occasionally I'll do the chicken wings (crispy-- they get me right every time) 10-15 min tops for takeout and short time for delivery as well. The service is always pleasant and welcoming. If it's something I need or want for my order, they always accommodate. Will always continue to go here. Thank you“

“I've been eating here for years and years. Best chicken wings of anywhere. Friendly people, good food, close to home! I couldn't ask for more!

Well, things change including (I think) ownership and/or cooks. I hadn’t been in for several years, so I went in for some comfort food. One of items I got, the egg drop soup, tasted of sesame oil so strongly it was actually unpleasant. I was so disappointed.“

“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.“

“Literally the best Chinese I’ve had in so long. It’s reliably good unlike most takeout spots and everyone is super friendly. My food was ready SO quickly even on a Saturday dinner time, and was absolutely delicious. I really couldn’t have had a better experience.

I’m so glad I decided to try Panda again after they came to the children’s hospital with free food for staff and it made my whole month. Brook road campus never really gets thought of so it was super special and we were all so happy.“

“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!“

“Great food, nice portions!“

“I don't get all the bad reviews, my food was very good and despite an obvious language barrier, my order was perfect despite ordering many items with customizations to the order.

Ever notice when you get your order at a Chinese restaurant, it's always right even though they barely speak English? It's because they listen to you. Unlike most American fast food places where you have to repeat your order 6 times and they still get your order wrong most of the time. Their minds are not usually on their jobs.

I always check my order at restaurants and it's often wrong. I never check my orders at Chinese restaurants and it's always correct! Good job King's Wok, thank you!“

“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 ...“
