50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Oakton

“Would love to give 10 stars for service! We ordered for wife who’s pregnant shortly before closing and we were running late to pick it up. One of the staff members stayed 20 minutes past closing to make sure we got our food. Seriously, a deep and sincere thank you to the staff at Hunan for waiting for us when they could have very denied our order all together. Thank you thank you thank you!!“

“We feed a group from here every month, everyone loves it!!“

“The take-out Chinese restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, and the food is prepared and ready promptly, typically within 10 minutes of ordering. The hot and sour soup is particularly noteworthy, standing out as one of the best in the area. Additionally, the lunch menu's orange chicken is delightful, with a unique infusion of actual orange rind that avoids being overly sweet. While savory, the pork with dried bean curd was slightly saltier than anticipated but satisfying when eaten with rice.“

“Fantastic lunch experience at P.F. Chang’s – Tyson Corner!
The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was fresh and full of flavor, and the dessert was just as impressive. What really made our visit special was our server, Will. He was exceptional – friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. Service was quick, portions were generous, and Will even packed our leftovers with great care. Truly a memorable lunch. Highly recommend!“

“We had an amazing server, Natalie, who took great care of us, answering questions and making delicious recommendations! Natalie provided excellent service, was friendly and kind as well as patient with our numerous requests. She kept smiling and serving us delicious food! We were very impressed with her, and as it's been a while since we have dined at PF Chang's, we look forward to returning and requesting her table! The manager also came by to make sure all needs were met and we were pleased to let him know of our excellent experience.“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“Thanks for the card trick Erick!!
Dumpling are great. Go to Crystal Shrimp
Ugly dumplings, red chicken soup dumplings OMG SO GOOD! Green beans ugly style omg I can eat a whole bowl of that by myself. Braised baby back ribs with a side of rice omg yummmm! Foods we didn’t like Chicken and broccoli didn’t taste authentic, chicken stir fried noodles no taste, steamed buns there was a smell to it and couldn’t taste better and the Mongolian beef. We realized food isn’t the best but the dumplings are the way to go. Since they recently opened we’ve been back 5 times lol. Definitely a must try! Drinks taste good as well.“

“Absolutely hands down best Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life! Also the vegan options are amazing! Also, even my picky eater kid will eat here. It’s a bit pricier, but totally worth it, and the staff is lovely and super friendly and can recommend things on the menu if you have trouble deciding. Order it all eventually! They even gave us a free appetizer.“

“First time trying them, got orange chicken lunch special and a BBQ spareribs appetizer. Oh man, was it fantastic and hit the spot. The spareribs were delicious, the orange chicken was still hot when I got back to my work, everything tasted great, good portions, good price, I will definitely be back for more!!

I ordered from parking spot at my work and I got the alert the food was ready for pickup right when I parked at the restaurant. Outstanding.“

“A&J was a delicious find! The food was amazing and hit the spot. Small dining area, but perfect for taking out. Parking is a little rough- the lot itself is falling apart and full of massive holes. Parking can be tight.“

“We entered the place greeted by a beautiful interior and friendly workers. The menu was very easy to navigate. They were very kind with informing me with allergens and took it into note with our dishes. When the food came out it was delicious, the warm spices and hot steam that emerged. The pork dumpling was my personal favorite, rich juicy broth inside and the flavorful pork. We were full and extremely satisfied with the meal. We loved it here and will definitely be returning again.“

“My go-to Chinese place! I especially love this place because the sauces are clearly homemade, not bottled. The take out hibachi is really good and the lunch special value can NOT be beat!! I recommend it to all my friends. Atmosphere gets 3 stars since it's really just a take out place, so it's not really meant to be an experience.“

“Ordered through grubhub. The restaurant name is different. General Tso kitchen. It was so good! I ordered the pan-fried noodles with chicken. This was probably the freshest and hottest food order I've gotten in a long time. I should have taken a photo.“

“My wife’s and my first time here. I had the biang biang noodles thanks to several other positive reviews. I am adding to those reviews. The noodles were delicious and worth making repeat visits. My wife had wontons in chicken soup. She also enjoyed her dish. We both tried the other’s dish and enjoyed them. For desert we had fried mochi. The outside tasted somewhat like a donut. The inside was something sweet. They were quite good.

The place was very busy with most customers picking up their meals and leaving. There are five 4 person tables and three 2 person tables. The Chinese woman running the counter was very friendly and spoke both fluent English and Chinese. The dining and bathroom areas were clean and well maintained.

We will definitely be back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Close to large parking lot. Sidewalk in front has a ramp. Entrance appears to be standard 36” width.“

“My guests loved the chicken 65! Great customer service!“

“My first visit here was excellent.
The owners greeted me with a smile and friendly service. This will certainly be my go to place for Chinese food.
I ate in, and the table was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the entire experience. I recommend coming here!“

“Must try their mala dry hotpot—it’s incredibly flavorful! I personally love this place, but be prepared for bold flavors as it’s extremely salty and spicy, which can be a bit much afterward. The taste, however, is very authentic. Keep in mind that the setup isn’t the most comfortable for dining in due to the high volume of takeout orders. While the staff will take your order, the service can sometimes be a bit inattentive.“

“Delicious food! I went to Mama Chang's after a long hike and this food hit the spot! The staff was great as they were attentive without being overbearing like at some places. Plus I give them extra brownie points because the group I was with showed up a little close to closing time and the staff remained super friendly!“

“The inside is not that great looking, but that's not why you'd come. The food and the service are amazing. I ordered beef Lo Mein, and got a huge plate of food. Also had fried dumplings and some chicken and broccoli. The portions were large, the service was really, and the food came out quick. Will definitely be going back!“

“This is a small restaurant has just a couple of tables and chairs it's mostly a carryout it's in a convenient location close to a laundromat a nail salon and other restaurants every time I visit this restaurant the food is great and fresh is delicious the staff is courteous I recommend this place and the prices are good they have an awesome lunch menu if you're in the neighborhood check it out let me know what you think“

“The new owners are great and the food is fantastic. Great crab ragoon, the salt and pepper fish is crisp and tasty, as is everything else we have had: double cooked pork, pan fried noodles, spicy dumplings, pan fried dumplings, sesame chicken...“

“We ordered the pan-fried noodle and triple delight. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and we plan to make this a regular stop for dinner. The portions were very generous. I should have taken a picture but by the time I thought of it my dish was half empty. Next time.“

“I ordered the beef lo mein with a side of plain white rice. Food was very quick and hot. The lo mein was delicious and the service was very nice. You can't really sit down and eat here though, there are a couple chairs for waiting for your food delivery inside and a small table with 2 chairs outside.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's only a small 1 or 2 inch step into the restaurant but they have a ramp nonetheless“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“It took me for a while to write a review since I’ve never done lol. Food surely brought me nostalgia- my favorite Maratang place in Seoul which is my hometown. More on that, I wanted to leave a review not just because of the food quality, but because of the service. The owner and staff were insanely friendly, like AMAZING. I also loved how the owner took out all the water before measuring my food haha—so thoughtful. If you’re in the area, you’ve gotta try them. No regrets!“

“Nice menu for “fast casual” with some flair. The fresh ginger and red chili oil are nice condiments for the noodles. Loved Thai iced tea. So much more I’d like to try.“

“Based this experience, I can only give a 'reluctant' 4-stars *only* because the ingredients used were really fresh. Past Peter Chang visits at other locations seem like the entrees were created for tourists and this theme seems to have permeated to this location as well. It's been a mystery on what the Peter Chang created cuisine is meant to celebrate since the Chinese entrees carry marketed Sichuan or Chengdu flavors that are very muted, lackluster, and just brand-name expensive.

What is carrying the 4-star is the use of very fresh ingredients which is an absolute must if a restaurant wants to survive in this super-affluent McLean neighborhood; otherwise, I would have assigned a 3-star rating. We ordered the Dry-spicy combo hot pot, Chengdu seafood with crispy rice, Dragon eggplang with garlic sauce, and Amish duck bone soup with pickled radish.

What made dinner enjoyable? ..... the highly considerate staff. Again, good staff service would be a must in this affluent McLean neighborhood. Other than fresh ingredients and considerate service, I can pass on visiting Peter Chang moving forward.

Why pass on Peter Chang for me? We ordered the most Sichuan/Chengu spicy entree and nothing was ma-la/chengdu/sichuan spicy at all (this was the biggest let down of the entire dinner). The eggplant was cloyingly, aggressively too sweet. The Amish duck soup was supremely salty. And the Chengdu seafood entree was only adequate. Now the plating is another awkward story. The plating for all dishes were not practical at all and the spoon utensil seems more for show than ladling any liquid at the bottom of the bowl or plate. The dry hot pot swiveled like a gryoscope whenever you are mixing ingredients to prevent burnt food at the bottom. The huge bowl for the Chengdu seafood had such a small base, it could tip at any moment. Come to think of it, the plating and dishware seem to be prioritized higher than the flavor of the food. On top of all this, the price for each entree is nose-bleed high for the lack of authenticity in the entree recipes. To add insult to injury, each bowl of white rice was billed separately and didn't come with ordered entrees.“

“Overall this restaurant is our favorite for Chinese food. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. Recommend the Sweet and Sour Chicken as well as the Kung pao dishes.“

“Old school! Dinner special comes with egg roll or spring roll and choice of soup (my mom got wonton, I got egg drop). They give you free peanuts immediately when you sit down which is so nice if you're hungry! You automatically get a pot of tea. After dinner you get a traditional fortune cookie and two fresh orange slices. I love this place. Sometimes you don't want the newest trendy thing, just the comforting classics.“

“Many traditional Chinese dishes along with Americanized favorites. They may attempt to coax you into changing your mind if you’re not Asian and you want something traditional.“

“My husband and parents-in-law Cantonese, they tried a lot of Cantonese dishes in China and in the US, including some very famous restaurants. They are pretty picky in Cantonese dishes, but today when they tried this restaurant, they all agreed that it is among the best. We ordered four Cantonese dishes and a bowl of noodles. All of them are delicious! And the price turned out pretty reasonable. We all decide that we will come back next time when we travel to here again.“

“Delicious food, large portions,and wonderful owners!“

“Had a little problem getting my delivery order ( Doordarshan sucks) A bit later I received a call, the owner heard about my issue and wanted to make it right. He went above and beyond to guarantee my satisfaction. L He heard of my problem and went out of his way to make sure I had a hot delicious meal. Most companies don't care but this one is on another level. Many thanks Hunan Star!“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“Amongst the best egg rolls in the area. While the General Tso's Chicken was good, there was nothing "hot and spicy" about it. Either I'll refry it with some red pepper flakes or try the kung pao chicken next.

Parking: Dumb shared lot with other businesses“

“Excellent food, great service“

“AT Hunan West about twice a month. Variety and quality very good. Service is good--and friendly. Norman“

“We love this place and it’s part of our regular take-out rotation. They have so many options for different dietary preferences (I’m a vegetarian) and ability to make it “healthier” like extra veggies, brown rice, etc. Also the portions are pretty generous that it usually ends up being two meals for me (and the prices are super reasonable). Their Mongolian beans are to die for. Staff is always friendly , food always hot and orders are always correct. Really grateful to have this place nearby.“

“Restaurant Review: Dumpling King – A Surprising Gem in Centreville

I’ve had Chinese food in cities around the world — from upscale restaurants to hole-in-the-wall spots — and Dumpling King in Centreville genuinely surprised me. Tucked away in a modest strip mall, it would be easy to overlook. But don’t.

What stood out most wasn’t actually the dumplings (though they were solid) — it was Lily’s fried rice. Complex, balanced, and far more interesting than what you’ll find at most places, it had that elusive “wok hei” quality that gives great Chinese cooking its soul. Every bite felt intentional and well-crafted.

The food here punches far above its weight class, both in quality and value. It’s the kind of place that quietly delivers an experience well beyond expectations — and that’s what makes it worth talking about. Did I mention we were a party of 11?“

“I preface this by saying I ordered takeout from them. The food was absolutely delicious. If you ask for spicy, that's exactly what they'll give you! The chicken was very tender and the pork ear was reasonably priced and very flavorful. The flavors were very authentic without cutting corners. Give it a chance!“

“Literally the best chinese food. Pricing is reasonable, customer service is great, taste is fresh every time, and it’s always piping hot! They also keep it simple and don’t try to do too much with the basic recipes we all know and love.“

“First time customer. Ordered the following carryout lunch specials for myself and the kids.- General Tso's Chicken- Crispy Orange Chicken- Chicken with Broccoli- Sweet & Sour Pork- Pork Fried RiceThe gentleman behind the counter was nice and smiled when I entered.The prices were really reasonable and the portion size across the board was good.The kids and I enjoyed everything, especially the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. We'll be sure to come back.“

“This place needs to be protected at all cost! Family run restaurant and they work very hard for over 15 years! They have great food, I love the general Tso chicken, chicken broccoli, lo mein, etc. i tried almost every food on the menu!“

“the food was so numbly addicting. do not underestimate the spice at this establishment. my family and i are huge spicy food enthusiasts and the food had our taste buds numb and had us sweating by the end of the meal, in the best way possible. highly recommend the wontons in chili oil, spicy beef noodle soup, lotus root side dish, the pork skewers.
the restaurant is order via QR code and on your phone. the white lights they use in the restaurant kinda made it feel like i was in a lab or medical office since it was so bright. every single table was filled up on the Friday evening with families waiting to be seated.“

“I have eaten here many times. Always delivery. Staff interaction always professional and friendly. Delivery excellent always within 30 min. Delivery time is always shorter than stated time. I am a VERY picky eater. Also a vegetarian. Food quality and portion sizes always impressive. This is my go to location for chinese food without fail. This place does not disappoint.“

“Great taste, full of flavor! Great variety of choices! Fast service!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for 5 years now and I would highly recommend the lo mein. The shrimp lo mein is me and my wife's favorite. They don't use tiny cocktail shrimp that is typical of most places. They use the jumbo shrimp you would find at a fancy seafood restaurant. Other dishes I have tried were good too.“

“as a regular, the authentic Chengdu laziji (spicy chicken) congxiang yu (scallion fish) and ziran yang (cumin lamb) are my go to favorites“

“I was doing PT next door and it smelled so good, so I broke down and ordered chicken fried rice, fried potstickers, beef cho cho, pork lo mein, wontons. everything was delish! I continued to order different things sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, sezhuan chicken (a little hot for me but still good), Hot and sour soup and wonton soup all was so good, my fav is fried pot stickers and sesame chicken. but everything has been so good, I use a walker and customer service was excellent they opened the door for me to get through and and out to table while I waited for cab to pick me up. I have also ordered for delivery.“

“This is the best Chinese food I've had in the area. I highly suggest that you order your meal to eat in the restaurant. I've never had Hunan shrimp that tastes so good.

I'm a regular and try to eat here a few times each month.

Try it, you won't be disappointed.“
