40 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mechanicsville

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“This is a lovely family-owned/local business that prioritizes their food quality. The food here is amazing and made fresh every time! The prices-by-portion are completely reasonable. Their hours are typically 4:00-8:30 PM. This restaurant makes a certain amount of chicken each day (to keep food fresh), so you must place your order at LEAST an hour before closing time to ensure that they have time to prepare your food.“

“Had the red curry beef and the coconut curry shrimp. Delicious! Just spicy enough to make your nose run. Spoke with the owner, she's lovely and has been running this place for 20 years. The inside of the restraunt is beautiful and would be perfect for a large party.“

“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).“

“My parents were ordering from Yum Yum for us since they opened in the 90’s. For me personally this is the best Chinese food in town. They are family owned and really good people, their food is always fresh and they have the best fried noodle chips, fried rice, general tsos chicken and eggrolls. They also deliver which is really fast, I was pleasantly surprised they delivered out to my area so be sure to ask to see if you’re not sure.“

“We had an amazing date night at the Ugly Dumpling, an upscale but cozy dim sum spot at Willow Lawn that keeps us coming back for their authentic, affordable, and always satisfying food. Our favorite orders are the soup dumplings, bbq bao buns, and the string beans app that are cooked perfectly crisp and savory. Our server Lily recommended the lychee martini, which was delicious! Like their name suggests, the steaming baskets of handmade dumplings are the main event—the perfect family style meal to share with all your favorite people!“

“Everything was good except I didn’t love the taste of the egg fu yung
Gravy. And they give you so little.

But the boneless spareribs were what I’m used to back home in Boston. They get an A+ for that.!

The portion sizes were good, but it was a little pricey for what I ordered.“

“First time ordering from Lucky (take out) on recommendation by a friend... Worth the wait... And by wait, I mean a short wait. I ordered and got my food delivered to Shockoe Bottom in under 30 min!

Y'all have a regularly with me now! 😊“

“First time ordering from Lucky. So glad we did. My wife has a very keen palet and will point out every detail. The food was fresh and very good. Delivery was quick and tried tipping the delivery driver $10. He says no, too much $3 dollars and gives me $7 back! Who does this?? Lol

Our new favorite Chinese restaurant!“

“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.“

“Living South of the river, I was pleasantly reminded about China Panda via the Sons of China Panda pop up this week. This morning, I got the egg tart, peanut silken tofu and mochi cake. I'm saving the egg tart and mochi cake for an after school treat sampling. The silken tofu that he said his Mom was up making overnight was simple, delicious, and a much more favorable breakfast than the typical simple carb or saturated fat laden fare common in our American diets and reflected in the offerings by local businesses. I think they would do rather well and wish I'd stopped by [on time] for more of their offerings this week. Hopefully, they will return soon! I'll also make a point to stop by China Panda for lunch in the near future.“

“The food was really good, but the menu options left a little to be desired, for me. They did not have many of the dishes I love to eat, but at least what they do have is good. They tend to bring the food out for one person at a time, though. I’d you are someone who likes to eat with someone, be prepared to wait“

“Best beef and broccoli. Fried chicken wings no longer has the chines flavor it use to have. My son always get fried wings with pork fried rice. Wish they delivered. Need to signup with grub hub etc. People love the food but everyone does not have a car. If they had delivery, they will make more money.“

“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.“

“Great. Go here!“

“Fantastic food for a reasonable price. Best Chinese food I've had in the Henrico area since moving here in 2022. It's a great for take out, but call in your order first. They are busy! I wouldn't eat in, although there is indoor seating and tables, as it's very hot inside with no air circulation, air conditioning or fans of any kind, despite it being August“

“I'm not gonna lie but this is some of the best Chinese food I've eaten in RVA. The shrimp fried rice is fire, Mei Fun 🔥, and the chicken wings are crispy. Smh this my new spot for sure. The food was fresh. Also we ordered the general tso chicken which was amazing 🔥. 10/10 definetly recommend. Also, grab you a iced tea yerppppp thanks for the great food. I'll be back lol“

“The Wonton soup was delicious. Deep textured broth. My wife had the Sesame Chicken, and I had the Mongolian Combo, which was beef, chicken, and shrimp. The Sesame Chicken was tasty, but maybe a little too sweet bc it was over-sauced. The Mongolian dish was very tasty and fresh, not too sweet, and the meet was tender. I got take-out, and I would definitely order from here again.“

“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. 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“

“By far the best Chinese food in the city. It's the best bang for your buck too, they give you so much food for great prices. The Gyoza are the biggest I've ever seen, at least twice the size of any other place. They are also the best tasting gyoza around. If I could be suffocated with fu jians gyoza, then I would die a happy man.“

“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.“

“Let’s be honest with ourselves here it’s a Chinese restaurant in the same shopping center as a food lion….. it’s good food honestly best Chinese food in this general area of Henrico. If you want decent Chinese and you want it quick come to Ming’s they have never let me down in my 15+ years of going to them.“

“The chicken lo mein with extra vegetables is a 10 out of 10. Absolutely delicious with soy sauce and whatever broth they use. Don't get this meal without adding extra vegetables it won't taste the same. It's a 6 out of 10 without it.“

“Great food, nice portions!“

“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 ...“

“I love this place. The eggrolls are crispy and delicious. The rice is great white rice. I DoorDash it like twice a week. I get the boneless spare ribs, and I’ve genuinely gotten a consistent meal each time. Always sweet and savory, they give you plenty of soy/duck sauce. I recently got the fried donuts, yummy! Would be good with icing :) love this place 9//0 in my heart.!“

“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 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!“

“I knew the moment we walked in that the food was going to be incredible. We ordered a bunch takeout to last us the weekend and the prices were great. Everything we got was delicious but the fried wontons were extra yummy. They were perfectly crispy without being hard. The orange chicken tasted nice and tangy fresh but got even better after a day or 2 in the fridge! Best Chinese takeout I've had in a while. The location was easy to get to off the highway. Plus we got to meet the cutest baby who helped us with our menus! We will be eating here again next time we're in town.“

“This panda express always gos above and beyond. The manager is truly amazing she takes her job seriously shes attentive and kind she recongizes her regulars. I hate to see pepole leaving poor reviews it truly just shows the entitlement you have. All the workers there go above and beyond every time i come in. and they sure dont deserve the attitude from some of the pepole that they see come in.“

“I stopped by China Express for a quick takeout meal, and it’s a pretty solid neighborhood Chinese spot. The restaurant is simple and no-frills, mostly focused on takeout, but the food comes out hot and fast. The restaurant is located on Brookland Park Boulevard in Richmond and mainly serves classic American-Chinese dishes.

I ordered General Tso’s chicken with fried rice, and the portion was generous. The chicken had a nice crispy texture with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce, and the fried rice was flavorful and filling.

The prices are affordable and the service is quick, which makes it a convenient option when you want a casual Chinese meal without waiting too long. Overall, China Express is a dependable local spot for classic takeout favorites.“

“Huge portions, great food, and fast service. I truly feel most of the complaints about the lady being “rude” are the reviewers themselves not having the patience with overcoming her language barrier. I’ve grown up eating here and the lady is abrupt but she’s the sweetest if you are friendly as well.“
