50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Oakton

“The food was excellent and the service is consistently outstanding. I recently had a delivery, and the driver, Buenaventura, truly went above and beyond. I accidentally over-tipped, and he actually returned to my home to let me know and make it right. That level of honesty and professionalism is rare and very much appreciated. Highly recommend!“

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

“This is our fourth time ordering from Chan’s Kitchen, and they’ve been very consistent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and reliable, which is why we keep coming back. Friendly and welcoming staff.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the egg rolls can sometimes be a bit greasy, but tastes really good.
Overall, still a solid go-to spot for Chinese food and definitely recommended.“

“From the moment we walked into Umpli Dumpling, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere is welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious; our waiter, Jonathan, recommended the fried pork chops, the new pork belly, and the chicken ramen.

However, what truly stood out was the service. Our waiter, Jonathan, was exceptional. He knew the menu inside and out, gave us excellent recommendations, and made sure our drinks were never empty. It's rare to find such a great combination of food and top-notch hospitality. We will definitely be back!“

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

“Our experience was amazing from start to finish. When we arrived we were seated immediately without a reservation. Raunak was our server. He made recommendations that were all great and there no issues with any portion of the meal. We opted for the special for $89 per 2 people. We started with egg drop soup- my friend really enjoyed this. Then spicy tuna roll and California roll. They were typical. Next up were the shrimp dumplings. I really enjoyed the spicy sauce added. For entrees, my friend order the Long Noodles Prawns. The sauce on these had a very robust flavor. I ordered the lobster and prawn fried rice. Raunak instructed me to squeeze a little lemon over it for extra flavor. Great recommendation! I also added a little of the spicy sauce from the dumplings. Lastly, we shared the butter cake which was topped with an ice cream and caramel sauce. The butter cake was still hot when it arrived. We were both on cloud 9 as we finished our meal.
We also enjoyed mai tai and lychee martini cocktails. This was the best experience I've ever had at PF Chang's and I've visited them all over. I still definitely be back!“

“Jacob is great! Beyond the outstanding service and amazing dessert recommendation, what truly stood out was his personality and genuine character. He was welcoming, attentive, personable, and made our entire table feel comfortable from the moment we sat down. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving guests a great experience, and that kind of authenticity is rare to find. His positive attitude and professionalism made the night even more enjoyable, and it’s the kind of service that makes people want to come back again. P.F. Chang’s is fortunate to have someone like Jacob representing their restaurant.“

“We stumbled upon Chef Tan by complete chance and it has quickly become a family favorite. The food is absolutely amazing, but what really sets them apart is the service. The lady who takes our orders is incredibly kind and welcoming. I love her.

Most importantly, they are so accommodating with their flavor, they always adjust the spice levels for my husband and kids who prefer milder dishes. It’s rare to find an authentic spot that is this flexible, clean and family friendly“

“I almost didn’t walk into Hunan Taste. When I saw pho on the menu, I hesitated. I know pho. I’ve had it done right, and when a Chinese place throws it on the menu, it usually means they’re trying to be everything to everyone.

But I’m glad I went in.

I ordered what I always judge a place by — roast pork and lo mein. If you can’t get that right, nothing else matters. The roast pork was legit. Flavorful, not dried out, not that bland filler meat some of these pop-up spots use. Mix it with the lo mein? That’s a winning combination every time.

Then came the egg roll. Not a spring roll. A real egg roll. Thick wrapper, crispy, hearty filling.

But what sealed it for me was the mustard. Homemade Chinese mustard — the real deal, the kind that clears your sinuses and lets you know someone back there cares.

If you’re in Springfield and you want solid Chinese food, this is a good spot. I’ll be back.“

“Our first time here and we will definitely be back...the cumin lamb is delicious and the brown sugar ice jelly is really good and so much fun to eat. Hui, our host was so engaging and patient with explaining the different dishes. Definitely a great date night destination“

“I have been wanting to find my go-to take-out Chinese restaurant in the area, and I am, overall, happy to have found the Great Wall. The selection is very extensive, and the on-line ordering is very easy and efficient allowing me to use PayPal. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian beef, combination Lo Mein, and one of their Chef's Specialties, the Jumbo Shrimp with Sesame in Lemon Sauce. They are very fast with the order ready to go in about 15 minutes. The portions are very generous, and they gave me some free spring rolls and crab rangoons based on the amount of money I spent. Overall, the food was very delicious and well prepared; however, some items were exceptional, some items were just good, while one was just horrible. The standouts were the Lo Mein which used real Lo Mein noodles and the crab rangoons which were the best ones I have ever had and I don't even really care for them. The Mongolian beef and the Kung Pao chicken were good, but the real disappointment was their Chef's Specialty lemon sesame shrimp. The shrimps themselves were jumbo and good along with the lemon sauce, but the problem was they were very, very heavily breaded, way to much, making them very doughy instead of crispy. It also didn't help that the menu did not give more details about the dish. I thought the shrimp would be naked, but were instead breaded. Now, I am fine with breaded items so this was only a minor disappointment, but the actual breading technique was absolutely horrible. The worst I have ever had. Shame the most expensive dish was also the worst. I am now very hesitant to order any fried, breaded dishes from the Great Wall such as any sweet and sour entrees. Other than that the experience was overall good. The service is exceptional, professional, and friendly. So, I will go back to Great Wall again to see if they will become my go-to take-out Chinese restaurant. I am hopeful, but still have some slight reservations.“

“A place that we keep ordering from again and again. We accidentally ordered something not on the menu but they made it for us anyways, great service, great food, great price. When we have company from out of town and don’t want to cook we order from here. When we’re back from a long road trip I look forward to a meal from here.“

“The food great, better then others, it was hot fresh and delicious, I had the chicken with mix vegetables. And it came with a egg roll. Long time since I has a delicious egg roll. Place was clean. The only thing was the mechine that you can order your food on. Coming to get Chinese food to places like this it feels great when someone takes your order. Overall 👍 great.“

“My husband and I have been dining in or placing a take out at least once a month at Peter Chang McLean for the past year and a half! We were so excited to finally find a chinese restaurant that is somewhat formal and provide good quality ingredients! I'm super picky with my meat (the , but the fresh meat, vegetables, and other ingredients truly satisfy my particular self. They never disappoint with the quality of the food and the temperature! We have tried at least 80% of their menu items, including the AYCE lunch menus, and our go-to items are: pan seared shrimp dumplings, dragon garlic spicy eggplants, singapore curry noodles, shrimp lo mein, spicy dry fried bamboo fish, numbing green peppercorn flounder, sesame chicken (it's online, not in the menu), and spicy kong pao chicken. The waitstaff and manager are all so nice in addition to the great food! We will continue to go back and we're so happy people are finding a good quality chinese food!“

“Great food by superb Chef. He's been there for many years. I've had many of us dishes and all scrumptious! Delicious Healthy Menu food too.“

“The malatang here is seriously one of the best I’ve had! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy, and all the ingredients taste super fresh. I especially loved how customizable everything is, you can pick exactly what you want and it always comes out delicious. The staff are also really friendly and welcoming!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious malatang and very friendly owner. I liked that it was not self-serve and likely more sanitary than regular malatang. Also such a treat that they had 锅包肉, a specialty from my family’s region in China. It was so delicious and fresh, and we loved it!“

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

“This place reminds me of getting Chinese food in NY and is full of flavor! I have tried a little bit of everything on the menu and have no complaints. My favorite is their fried rice with bean sprouts and the szechuan chicken . I usually place my order for pickup and the food always comes out hot and fresh!“

“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.“

“Nice Cafe, good flavor Chinese food .. but they use Styrofoam for takeout. UGH.. which means all the sauce spills into bottom of the bag. NOT GOOD.“

“Just tried Yu Noodles in Fairfax —

Here’s my quick take:
Walked in not expecting much, but the place has a clean, no-frills vibe that feels pretty authentic. You can tell this is more about the food than the experience.

Started with the soup dumplings — honestly, these are the reason to come here. Good broth inside, not too greasy, and held together well (which is half the battle with XLB).

Went for the spicy beef noodle soup next. Flavor was good, comforting, but I wish it had a bit more punch. Noodles were legit though — chewy, fresh, and clearly the highlight.
Service was… okay. Not bad, not great. Feels like a place that gets busy and just keeps moving.

Overall: this is a solid local spot. Not mind-blowing, but if you order right, you’ll walk out happy. Definitely coming back for dumplings and buns.“

“This place has great Chinese food!! Love how it’s piping hot even after the 15 drive home after pickup or when they deliver. All of the fried rice dishes, beef chow fun, chicken with broccoli, beef chow mein are some of our favorites. They’re also very nice and friendly. Super quick too.

Can’t rate ambience. We always get to go or delivery.“

“We’ve ordered takeout from here multiple times and it’s always been amazing! The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is incredibly friendly and truly go above and beyond for their customers.

On our most recent order, the vegetable fried rice turned out to be much spicier than expected. When we called, they immediately offered to replace it and even sent it out with free delivery. The driver was so kind and wouldn’t even accept a tip.

Exceptional service like this is hard to find—highly recommend!“

“INCREDIBLE

It is so special that we have food like this in our area, everything here (noodles, dumplings, etc) are so obviously made the day of (you can tell by the taste) by hand, from scratch. The owner was so kind and nice.

Make sure you try the spicy wonton and the biang biang, and dine in.

Please eat here Fairfax, we need to support this business.“

“Though this place has a couple tables, it spends its budget on the food versus space and decor. It keeps costs low by having a very small place down a side road. Parking is free and most times you can park right outside of it. They offer delivery but is popular for take out. The people at the counter are very nice. I recommend their Kung Pao chicken. It is the best.“

“When I came in I was greeted very warmly by a lady and she helped me to order food since it was my first time at this restaurant. The food prices are so affordable and the taste is so immaculate🤤 after I got my food the lady made sure everything was to my liking. The food came out very quickly which was really nice! If you’re seeing this review please come and try the crab rangoons here!!! It was one of my favorites along with their fried chicken.. SO GOOD!!!“

“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.“

“The beef with green pepper was a standout, perfectly tender, savory, and cooked with a flawless balance of flavor and crisp texture.
Pairing it with their fried rice made for the perfect meal; the rice was beautifully executed, light, and packed with that authentic, smoky wok flavor. The service was welcoming and attentive, making the entire experience fantastic. Highly recommended!“

“We enjoyed the onion pancake. It's a blown up ball. Very interesting to try. Just flour cooked until it becomes a big hollow ball the size of a small volleyball. The braised potbelly with tea egg looked awesome but was just okay....Not salted enough and the flavor is lacking. The pork belly meat itself was dry. The beef tenderloin lacks flavor and is drenched in a brown sauce, not very authentic Chinese. Pricey for what it is. I would not recommend this plate. We also had the salt pepper shrimp which was very good. We had the pickle chili flounder fish pot. It came with clear noodles and tofu. It was tasty and light in flavor. We got shrimp dumplings, it was perfect texture and consistency and flavor For dessert we got the sweet fermented sweet rice and the glutinous rice cake with brown sugar. Both were interesting. I liked the sweet fermented rice. They make a really good passion fruit green tea with mango jelly. Probably the best I have had.
We came back and ordered the combination fried rice which was not on the menu but something they make. It was delicious. The beef Chow Fun which is the white rice flat noodle with brown sauce. It was delicious. We also ordered the crispy fried pork belly. That was slightly spicy and was tasty but fatty as well. It was nicely done but tasted fatty after a few bites. Dim sum here is delicious. Peking duck is good.

The beef tenderloin over broccoli is essentially a classic beef-and-broccoli Chinese dish. The beef was high quality and flavorful, with plenty of sliced charred garlic—simple and satisfying.
What really stood out, though, was the beef brisket noodle soup. We recommend ordering it spicy if you enjoy a kick. It features a mix of clear noodles and rice noodles, adding great texture. Having tried beef brisket noodle soup at many restaurants in Fairfax, this one is definitely a top recommendation.“

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

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“We were staying at a hotel nearby so we checked this place out. After experiencing the sticker shock of the DC/NOVA tax for our first two weeks here, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise when the check came. The food was good and plentiful (we had leftovers) and the price, again, was sooo reasonable. Will return.“

“The staff here is extremely polite and helpful. I was greeted by Labrell who is extremely nice and helpful. He helped me and another couple get set up with the wonder app and gave recommendations on which foods to try. I highly recommend the wonder Reston location and if you get a chance to meet Labrell he will put a smile on your face and brighten your day!!“

“I was not familiar with this place but my family was craving for real Chinese food! I checked good places near and decided to try China Express. To be honest when I parked in the front I was skeptical but follow my willingness to discover new places but when I got in and received by a very kind staff and felt the yummy smell from the kitchen I thought it was going to be good! I ordered fried rice, noodle soup, general tso chicken and some house lo mein, it was extremely delicious! Food quality is top and service was simply amazing! This is a hidden gem in Tysons and definitely will come back! Superb!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food, reasonable price, fast service!“

“I love how natural all the flavors taste. The dumplings are made fresh daily. They also have a variety of Chinese dishes that I highly recommend. I love their Shanghai rice cakes in the soy gravy. The portions are pretty big and great for sharing. We will definitely be back!“

“This is a chain that has locations all over New York. I'm glad there is a location close to me. It's my go to for sauerkraut fish soup.

They also have a secret menu for Fuzhou cuisine like peanut noodles, Fuzhou wontons and meatball soup that are pretty close to what I remember from Fuzhou.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We really enjoy Hunan Cafe in Burke. Their crispy beef is a favorite of mine, and we always order the crab rangoons and Singapore rice noodles—everything is consistently delicious. My husband especially loves their Kung Pao Chicken.

Jenny at the front is always friendly and kind, which makes the experience even better. The indoor dining area is clean, with comfortable chairs, and I really appreciate that they bring your food out on actual plates instead of styrofoam. That extra touch makes dining in feel so much nicer.

We’ve been happy every time we visit and will definitely keep coming back.“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid, and it has never disappointed me! The food is consistently delicious, and every visit feels both familiar and satisfying. The prices are very reasonable, offering great value for money, and the portions are always generous—you definitely won’t leave hungry.

What really makes this place special is the staff. They are incredibly friendly and attentive, and they even remember my favorite dishes, which makes me feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated.

It’s rare to see a place maintain such high quality over the years. Highly recommend—this place is truly amazing!“

“Stopped by Hong Kong Express in Springfield and it really hit the spot. This is classic Chinese takeout comfort food, generous portions, solid flavors, and quick service. The shrimp lo mein was tasty and filling, with tender shrimp and noodles cooked just right. The chicken with glass noodles was flavorful, especially with The hot and sour soup was so good the pork was incredibly soft and tender, making every bite delicious. Definitely one of my favorite dishes of the meal! 🍲😋 The sweet and sour chicken was a standout, crispy pieces with a bright, tangy sauce that was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too heavy. Everything tasted fresh, was packaged well for takeout, and portion sizes were great for sharing (or leftovers 😉). This is the kind of place you go to when you want something warm, familiar, and satisfying. If you’re in the Springfield area and craving simple, affordable, and comforting Chinese food, Hong Kong Express is a solid choice. I’ll definitely be back! 🍜✨“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“Food delicious, spacious, clean and courteous servers“

“First time customer.

“Amazing and fresh food everytime we come here with the family. We drive 2 hours at least once a month to come here and it’s always just as good. Consistency is so hard to find nowadays but they kill it everytime! I would recommend this place to everyone and their families and they have something for everyone regardless of dietary restrictions. 10/10 Recommend.“
