“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.

“Today I came for the third time to this restaurant, I like to order sweet and sour because the sauce is perfect, today I ordered sweet and sour pork and it was delicious.

The girl who helped me was very friendly and the waiting time was exactly what she indicated. As for the atmosphere, I think they should fix it up a little so that it doesn't look like a restaurant that is about to close, but the food is excellent, my order today was very well seasoned and not at all tasteless like others places.

Parking: Big parking lot

Kid-friendliness: No, only pick up.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

“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.“

“Best chinese food in the area. Lovely folks who run it. portions are generous and always piping hot. Hot and sour soup is wonderful.“

“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).“

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

“The all-day bourbon chicken special ($10.75) is really good. It comes with chicken and fried rice (see photo).

I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but it seems like standard Chinese food fare.

Expect to wait approximately ten minutes if not ordering ahead.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very good service very good food I highly recommend them never had any issues great place to eat thanks so much“

“First and foremost, the person that took my order was very courteous. I ordered chicken wings and fried rice and sat no longer than 15 minutes before my order was ready. The wings were fried perfectly and you can't go wrong with fried rice; delicious. Thank you“

“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!“

“I called in an order. Had to cancel one minute later. They claim I never called in. Didn't appreciate being called a liar...Told them I've been coming there for over 20years. What would I gain by this. Never apologized. Not sure if I'm going back.“

“I want to personally thank the owners for helping me eat one of the only meals I can eat (I still cant keep it down because I am critically ill) but the food is so good and always so plentiful. They are so nice and have always been, ive been a patron forever! Thank you for my veggie lomein and sesame tofu!“

“The only place in the greater Richmond area that give you want you order. Not something like the dish.. not something that is based on the dish.. no something that only looks good but lacks taste.. NO. This place is no gamble..it is great every time.“

“WOW. Best little spot for quality Chinese food. There isn’t a dish i have not had. The fried chicken is finger licking, the sesame chicken is always flavorful and The Singapore Mei Fun is top tier. I’ve had other restaurants leave the tails on the shrimp, not Lung Wah. They offer delicious meals for reasonable prices and incredibly fast service. The staff is friendly and they provide any and all of the condiments you may desire (i strongly recommend the hot sauce). If you’re on the fence about trying this gem, take a leap and try it.“

“Gluten free options and nothing is greasy.“

“Definitely for takeout, not for dining in. So far it’s had the best Chinese food of any restaurant I’ve tried in this area. The pork fried rice has the tasty chopped pork I expect to get instead of the little stringy brown pieces that many Chinese restaurants are using now. However, it lacked flavor. The beef with vegetables has very tender pieces of meat, and the vegetables taste very fresh. It’s very good, but needs a bit more brown sauce. The boneless barbecued pork has wonderful flavor but too many pieces with gristle, so I don’t recommend it. Overall, I’ve had two good experiences with Tings’s so far, and I will be ordering from them again.“

“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.“

“The general tsos chicken was sooooo good as well as their crab Rangoon, the black pepper chicken was okay, the chicken was cooked very hard and it was super dry there was no sauce or gravy for it which made it not very enjoyable for me, but my daughter loved it. The young lady at the register was very sweet and efficient. It’s pretty small in this place so I wouldn’t eat in.“

“The restaurant needs some cleaning and spruceing up but the food was amazing and service was great. Best Tops China I've ever had. The rice was fresh and perfectly cooked. The shrimp and brocoli was flavorful and delicious. The portion size was decent.“

“Wow! This place is amazing. Now for me, when I say amazing in regards to restaurants it is normally always weighted about 75% directly towards the only reason I am there, The Food. This small place has been tucked in beside a Food Lion at a strip mall and slinging rice for over 25 YEARS! But unlike so may other oriental establishments, they have been working on the food and got it right!! But more on that in a minute.

After 25 years, it was finally time for a Make-Over. And I don't mean just replacing the nasty peice of hanging plastic across the counter like they have at banks. Or cleaning the glass on the old washed out colored pictures of the food dishes plastered all over the walls which still leave you wondering if that green stuff is broccoli or a fuzzy catapillar. I'm talking about making a space that is honest to goodness CHILL!

Several super call-outs. The huge matching pictures on the walls immediately start to fill you will a sense of peace and being relaxed. The lighting is not overwhelming but still allows you to see what you're eating. The truly nice touch is that even the design and color of the hanging lamp shades match the color and design of the wall pictures to multiply the atmosphere of the space. Very calming. A new addition to the dining room is the heated buffet table for their lunch crowd. The small mirrors and crushed glass diamond accenting on the buffet table also matches the front service counter. They shared great pride in their long and prosperous cultural heritage along the back wall. Very nice touch while maintaining the gravity of their history.

The Food was amazing! So, full disclosure, I make this statement based on the level of their ability to make the simplest and most fundamental item on their menu. The Fried Rice. Because rice is the foundation of most every dish served, if the fried rice sucks, so does the dish. Why would I care if your Wanton Soup is out of this world if I can't stand your rice. In the case of this restaurant rice pays the bills, not the soup.

The rice was perfect. No hard uncooked grains or dry no-tasting cardboard that no amount of soy sauce could change. They don't normally have bean sprouts in their fried rice but were happy to add them when I asked with no fuss or whinning. So tender that I was actuality able to taste and know I was eating INDIVIDUAL grains of rice and not a bowl of chopped straw or maybe oatmeal. And, everything about my Wife's dish of Sesame Chicken was fantastic. Not a bunch of hard clumps of batter to cover up tiny pieces of chicken.

Great experience. Very kind and attentive server. They were closed for a month or so during the make-over but are now back and open for business. I speak blessings and abundance over them. I invite and challenge you to test my review.

And while you are doing that, ENJOY!

“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’ve been eating here for 5+ years, and my family, they were eating here for like 20+ years since they moved to Chester. This is the best fried rice you will EVER EVER EVER taste, eating red house make me more happy than eating a chorizo taco on a corn tortilla sometimes. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW BIG THE CHICKEN IS ITS SO FULLING, SO BIG, SO SO CRISPY, JUICY, DELETABLE! You eat the chicken n friend rice n get a nice drink with some cheesecake for like UNDER 25 dollars😩 this place is heaven. AND AND AND THEY DO DELIVER THAT HAS BEEN A LIFE SAFER FOR ME PERSONALLY! GO RED HOUSE“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“Fav place, GREAT Chinese food & I’m picky!“

“It's a little ugly and I hate the look of their wall of protection. Decent amount of food for the cost. I got the egg drop soup with dumplings. Decent ingredients but they flavor it for white people (I am one). Add some heat! Don't know if you can ask for it spicy or just have to add packets of sauces yourself. I would prefer the first choice. Uncle Roger would have some naughty words to say about the lack of seasoning.“

“I've been to, and reviewed dozens of Chinese-shops and found that they all lacked in one area or another, bringing their overall total score to an all-new high with Fu Wah, 5-stars is all I can give for perfect rice, egg-roll (unlike any other restaurant), crab-rangoon (with the cream-cheese portion-size being absolutely top-notch), General Tso's (which is by far the most revealing reason to come-back here)!For the first time, I have not had a headache from dehydration thanks to the excellent quality food-service Fu Wah has provided!Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU!“

“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.“

“This is my second visit and I must say I’m pleased. The service was pleasant, each time I was greeted with a smile and service was fast. My typical order is broccoli with brown sauce and an order of wings. Would definitely recommend and will continue to order from Triple Eight 2💕“

“I can’t speak for nobody else but I’ve been eating Chinese food for years & I’ve never hear my fried to & shrimp fried rice to taste so good 🤣. I went there for 2days straight … so they get a 5 from me it was crisp PERFECT & I’m a picky person that’s hard to please“

“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“

“Great. Go here!“

“This is my fast and quality go to for takeout Chinese. Fairly typical menu, lunch and combo specials, but with a few Thai options, as well. I have enjoyed their food dozens of times and they were a staple of mine during the craziness of 2020. It is take out only. Just a heads up. Highlights include, dumplings, hot and sour soup, moo shu, pad Thai, and orange chicken. Get your fav and enjoy the huge portions and good value. Local Family owned and operated.“

“I’ve edited this review 3 times. OMG this food is beyond amazing. NOT your typical Chinese food experience. I was disappointed at first because a family-sized order is $18 and only feeds one person. Service was fast and friendly. But this is THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I’VE EVER HAD! It was delicious! I ordered a family-sized meal and we’re both still very hungry. If we had known what small portions were served, we’d have planned on spending $60 for a meal for 2 people — I’m definitely going to be back 🤩“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“
