50 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Chesterfield

“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.“

“The selection was good, the food quality was good, and the service friendly and prompt. The dining area was still severely limited in the style of COVID restrictions. If that has not been the case, the rating would have been higher. Very decent Chinese place though.“

“The food was good, but not exceptional. The service was good, order was ready on time and correct. You have to pay thru a plexiglass chute,which is practical and for their safety, it definitely mighr gives off a negative vibe to some people“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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’m new to the area after moving from Los Angeles and have been exploring local Chinese cuisine. Based on my recent order of the shrimp fried rice and orange chicken combo, I had a very positive experience.
The meal was delicious, flavorful, and clearly well prepared. The price was very reasonable at $12.50, making it a great value, especially for a lunch option. I was also impressed with the quick cook time — my order was ready in about 10 minutes.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the pricing, food quality, and efficiency. I have no complaints and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a tasty and affordable meal.“

“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).“

“A great evening. Excellent service and enjoyable and very delicious meal. The brown rice was probably getting near the bottom of the dish by signs of resident overcooked bits. But that did not distract from the overall meal. Service was excellent.“

“Fire place 🔥 fresh hot ready to go...you can't go wrong with whatever you order & they have the best deals bang for your buck with quality good food 🙌

A while back I remember! it wasnt like this but they definitely clean house & did a whole 360! They have wonderful staffs / family in here now...I love them ❤️ keep up the wonderful work“

“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.“

“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.“

“I just moved to this area and BABYYYY!!! ... This place is it! I live all the way in Colonial Heights and I will happily ride my 15mins there! I was out that way one day and ordered there to take home and was instantly in love! It's been a looooong to since I had a good spot! I always crave Chinese and always get disappointed. This place should be 5☆ I hope yal keep up the great work! And the service is perfect! They are not rude.“

“Service was quick and made to order. The cashier was green but great at helping me order the things with best value.

In fact, the online prices from the web platform's service fees and just different online menu prices in general are absurd, my order went from $55 to $34 after tip just by going in person and ordering at counter. Definitely do that instead of ordering for takeout if you have 10 minutes to wait.

Menu is standard fare American Chinese, they got everything you hope they do, no quality issues.“

“Overall, the food was ok. However, I was greatly disappointed in seeing shrimp fried rice in my order when I specifically asked for pork fried rice to go with my boneless spare ribs which were kinda mediocre, but my daughters loved them. Fortunately, they were stingy enough on the shrimp where it did not trigger my seafood allergies and the soy sauce definitely helped the rice. Egg was good because my wife liked it. Other than that, the lady was nice. I just know for future visits IF I decide to return, to make sure I am very specific about what I want. The price and helpings were impressive considering how expensive this current orange administration has made the economy, but I digress.“

“My food is always fresh and prepared how I like it. They follow instructions. When I ask for extra; I can actually see the extra I am paying extra for lol. I like my shrimp fried rice packed with shrimp and it always is. They could use a storage for the items they have in the waiting area but other than that great service, always friendly and upbeat! One of two chinese places I go too and its always my 1st option.“

“We placed an order for pick up around dinner time. Our order was a cashew chicken, curry chicken, shrimp fried rice, and a pork lo mein. Everything tasted amazing and came out fresh. The portions were very generous and the prices were more than fair. We will definitely be coming back!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This is my favorite local Chinese food spot. I prefer it to the others around it. My go to meals are the beef and broccoli, chicken wings, or pork fried rice. Really just about anything they fry is really good egg rolls, chicken, scallops, you name it.“

“I’ve been trying new things here at this place. I’ve been getting the chicken and broccoli 🥦. Wonderful. I didn’t care for the sesame chicken, more than likely it was because the chicken was not fried crispy as I requested. Other than that one experience, the owners are nice people.“

“Gluten free options and nothing is greasy.“

“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!

“I just got the lunch special shrimp fried rice, and I must say it was good. Just one complaint - the shrimps were miniatures. I was thinking it was because this was the lunch special. If they offer or put bigger shrimp in the dish this would easily get a 5 rating. Other than that, I gladly recommend!“

“I went here last weekend due to the fact that me and my mom were looking for a sit down Chinese restaurant, I’m very impressed with this place the food was good and the service was even better, this might become our new sit down as well as Chinese takeout spot. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a 3, was simply due to the fact that our shoes were sticking to the carpet….yuck….but to be honest the place could use a renovation and get rid of that 90s carpet, other than that, great food and great service. This a must try for sure!“

“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“

“Great. Go here!“

“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💕“

“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“

“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!“

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

“I ordered the House Special Chow Fun, and the menu didn’t mention that it contained pork. Since I can’t eat pork, I wasn’t able to eat the meal. Unfortunately, I only realized this after I had already driven home.

I called the restaurant to explain the situation. They told me they couldn’t offer a refund, but they were willing to exchange it for a version without pork. I appreciated that they offered a solution, but it did mean I had to drive all the way back to the restaurant to make the exchange (I live far :( )

Just wanted people to know that it does have chicken, shrimp and pork even though no type of meat is mentioned in the menu.“

“We were staying at LA Quinta (5 mins away) and stopped in for takeout. Reminded me of a mom and pop deli converted into Chinese restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. Bourbon chicken and broccoli could feed 3 people. Lo mein, fried rice, wonton soup was amazing. I will be getting a to-go box every time I drive north on i95. 6 minutes off the highway. Much Love from South Florida!“

“Crazy how the reviews are so different. I have been getting food from here for years and have never had a bad experience with the food or anything. Food and customer service has always been good for me. Bourbon Chicken and/or Black Pepper Chicken is what I get 80% of the time. Everything else I have tried has been good also. Im 44 years old and this chinese place has been open at that location ever since I can remember as a kid. It would not be open serving food for them many years if it wasnt good food. Im sure some if not alot of these people that has posted that they have had a bad experience and food was probably rude, disrespectful or acting a fool themselves is why they got what they got for food and service. That has got to be the reason for the difference in the reviews is people disrespect and be a fool and expect to be treated with respect.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Had their fried rice with wings and it was by far one of the best meals I’ve had from a takeout place anywhere. Especially a Chinese one. They also have a lot of extra things on display to buy in the lobby area from stuffed animals to electronics to other countless “

“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.“

“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.“
