50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Oakton

“I ordered the chicken w broccoli and the chicken lo mein. The chicken w broccoli was very good 10/10. The lo mein was a little different than other chinese food places but still good. The rice was not really good. But overall the main dishes were well made.“

“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.“

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

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to PF Chang’s, so on Sunday, a friend and I went there for lunch. From the moment we walked in, until the very end, our service was flawless! Our server Ty was amazing, providing us excellent service, anticipating our needs before we even said anything, his cheerful demeanor brightening up our day. Our food came out in record time and was absolutely perfect. The best part, and the reason behind PF Chang’s elevated level of service, is their Manager. He leads by example, going around to tables, checking to see how everyone is enjoying their meal. This of course provided us with the perfect opportunity to gush about Ty’s performance, professionalism and courteous conduct. This manager, through his leadership, has taken PF Chang’s level of service to what you see in five star restaurants. Keep up the great work, it is truly impressive and make sure the manager is well compensated, because he sets the tone. Also, give Ty a raise, he deserves it!“

“We had an absolutely perfect experience. Our server was Eric. It was my birthday, and he took care of me and my daughter as though we were at a fine dining restaurant. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional, and he had a great sense of humor. We enjoyed my birthday order of lettuce wraps, along with shrimp dumplings and shrimp appetizers. He was very mindful of me doing low sodium, so everything came out prepared just so. I enjoyed the Kung Poa Shrimp and my daughter the shrimp minus the breading. Even our tea and desserts were perfect additions to our meal. He won't be their for our next visit, but he made my birthday a perfect P.F. Chang experience. Thank you Eric“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“We've been looking for a dependably delicious Chinese food place forever - and we're so glad we finally found Panda House! The food, the service, the prices are all great! One thing we were looking for was a New York-style egg roll - and Panda House has them! They're crispy, tasty, and just the right size! The Curry Fried Rice is delicious, as is the Black Pepper Chicken and the Hot and Sour Soup! We haven't been disappointed by anything we've ordered from there! And the staff is so nice and friendly! Definitely try it out the next time you're craving Chinese food!“

“This is the 2nd Yu's I've been to. Usually go to the Herndon location. This locations very similar but a bit smaller. Menu is interesting in that they have extra vegetarian options. I had the vegetarian buns and scallion pancakes. Buns were fresh but a little bland which is kind of expected from Chinese places they don't kinda know how to make veggie stuff tasty. Noodles are good though, exception.“

“Good food. The homemade veggie dumplings were also tasty, and the wrappers were not too thick, so I liked them. I love that they use thin noodles for the noodle soup - - so good. It's always helpful to know the types of noodles in a dish. The duck skin was yummy! The gyoza was fried to a nice crisp. The veggie ones were a little spicy and were orangey.. Maybe pumpkin? Here's a pic so you know what to expect. If this review is helpful, please like it. Thanks :)“

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

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve had lunch at Szechuan Star a few times and have also ordered takeout many times, and I have nothing but great things to say about this place. The food and service have always been top-notch, never disappointing. It’s a small restaurant, but it’s clean and cozy, with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and always goes above and beyond, paying attention to every detail to ensure customers are happy.

The food is consistently delicious, and the prices are unbeatable, especially with their lunch specials. For anyone local, this spot is a must-try if you’re craving flavorful Chinese food with excellent service!

Parking: Plenty“

“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.“

“My family and I have been coming for over 20 years, and I love the food and family that owns it. Recently they have been making upgrades to improve the atmosphere. They have pictures from all of the families who frequent their restaurant. Safe haven for a quiet meal with friends and family.

Parking: Shared with other small businesses. Never have had a problem.“

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

“Hunan cafe is my favorite go-to spot in Herndon. The food here is consistently incredible.The ingredients are fresh and authentic.

The crispy beef stood out due to its perfect balance of crunch and spiciness. , Every bite was an explosion of flavor, and the heat level was spot-on, leaving a delightful tingling sensation on the palate.

Besides the food, the service here is unparalleled as well, making every visit a great experience. Definitely recommended!!“

“I'm checking in once a week hahaha a great malatang kwabarou restaurant! The most delicious malatang I had in the DMV area. This time, Kwao Barou also came out and became my favorite malatang restaurant. The owner is so friendly that it's always nice every time I go. Because I can add whatever toppings I want?

Parking: Since it's inside a supermarket, the parking lot is really spacious.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“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.“

“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“

“I went to this based on a Facebook Foodie group recommendation. I concur with their assessment that this place is good.If you want no frills traditional American Chinese takeout, this is the spot. There are only two tables in there, so there's not really a place to eat at unless you have a quick lunch break or go solo.Prices are fair, portions are good, and food tastes great. We had tried 4 dishes: Singapore noodles, eggplant with garlic sauce, Kung pao, and lo mein. They were all good. Food was packed well.I like it. ??“

“This place has potential. I had Orange Chicken, Egg Roll, and Fried Wontons.
Fried Wontons had a good amount of meat. The wrapping needs to be thicker. That would make it Great, but "as is" it is still very good.
Egg roll wrapping was great. The filling was Good, but it needs some meat like roast pork just like they make it in NYC. They are pretty good as well.
Orange Chicken is a Must Have. Definitely, one of the best orange chicken I ever had. Not on the menu, you need to order it directly. Highly recommend.
Pricing was average.
I was reading other reviews and people we stating that food is not consistently good. I order again some other time to verify.

Ordered again. I recommend the Mongolian beef. The tofu with mixed vegetables is not that good.“

“We came on a Saturday morning to try it out and were surprised it wasn’t busy at all. We ordered the dragon phoenix soup to start and it was good. I love the crispies they give you with the soup. The half Peking duck was delicious. Went great with the sauce and leek pancake. The pan fried noodle was delicious. The crispy noodle tasted better than the ones I’ve had at other places. Service was very friendly and attentive.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“I was in the area to buy a car and every other Chinese restaurant was closed, so we found this one and it was great! The building was pretty, the employees were friendly, and if you're expecting mostly breading for your chicken dish, you're dead wrong. You can tell you're actually eating meat here.“

“Fast & cheap Chinese option in the area! My husband and I have found our new favorite Chinese food restaurant. Service was great (we had to call to confirm ingredients), and our food was finished earlier than anticipated. We ordered the crab rangoons, sweet and sour chicken, mixed Lo mein, and spring rolls. We will be back!“

“Don’t go anywhere else! This is the best Chinese in this area! They only took over the restaurant a little while ago.
And on top of all the choices, they make their own Peking duck, home made! Just call ahead of time because they only offer it once in a while of course since they make it from scratch.
The service is top notch, the owner Ms Dan has the most wonderful smile and makes you feel so welcome. Good customer service is so rare nowadays!
It is a family business I found out, Ms Dan runs the front and her husband the kitchen. That’s why I trust the food and wish them all the success they deserve.
I think I have tried most of their dishes so far and they are all wonderful!
Give it a try and tell me
PS: the customer who gave a bad review because their FREE order was too small should review their standards… it’s free“

“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“

“The hate must be real on Google. If I lived in the area this would be my go to carryout spot. Anyone rating less than 3 has some snobby Chinese carrot up their butt. You can tell it's family owned and the lady taking my order was very personable. She even talked to some her clients in Spanish. I ordered the triple delight with combination fried rice. 10/10 would order again.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is incredible. I am not aware of any other luosifen noodle house in the area. If you, like me, are a newcomer to this style of noodle soup, you are going to be extremely impressed. The bone broth is bracing, complex, and flavorful, far richer and deeper than pho or tonkotsu. Recommend getting it spicy: it brings all the flavors together without being overwhelming. Additionally, the Sichuan menu is one of the best in the area, second only to Mama Chang's and Hong Kong Palace. This place is pretty new and trying to get its feet underneath it. Let's support high quality food!“

“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.“

“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!“

“One of the best dine in Chinese food spots in the Springfield area!! The spicy wontons are my favorite appetizer there and the Singapore rice noodles and combination lo mein are my families favorites!!

Parking: A lot of parking in the Springfield shopping center!“

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

“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.“

“Don’t be fooled by the reviews, this place is great. Food is delicious, prices are good, and everyone is so nice. I just came in to order takeout with my mom and they gave us a whole box of sweet bread for Mother’s Day! I’ll definitely come back here“

“My favorite place for Asian food. I can even describe how much I think about this place in my daily life. Every time someone tell me for dinner I said let’s go there. I just wish it was a little bit more close to my home. They don’t do deliveries all the way here so it definitely worthy to make the trip there… yesssss it does.“

“Excellent dumplings, but a little pricy for the portions. Don't get me wrong, I'll still come back and eat more because it's hard to find such varieties of dumpling flavors. I just wish the dumplings were a little bigger or came with maybe 2 or 3 more on a plate. I ate them all so fast though that I didn't get a chance to take a picture ?

The server was very kind and friendly. She was quick to ensure we had everything we needed and was mindful of all her other customers too.

Hey, if my only complaint is that I want more, that's gotta be a good sign right?“

“Food was very good, we got the pork and chicken fried rice and the egg drop and wonton soup. Soup was well seasoned. Overall solid Chinese food as you’d expect. The lady working there when I picked my food up was very nice and the little store was clean. Good vibes :)“

“We’ve been ordering here for the past few years. Food has always been fresh and delicious! Would highly recommend this place to others!“

“I love the general tso chicken, orange chicken, and sesame chicken and my wife loves the Singapore noodles. I normally don't order chicken but this place is really good. Great prices, large portions and super fast delivery. Best in the area! Highly recommend.Update: We've been ordering from Hunan Heritage for over a month now and there is no question, they make delicious food. This is the only place I would order catering from. January 2024“

“I have been trying different Chinese food restaurants around here ever since I moved back to the area, and Hula Inn, which was probably the 6th one I tried, is 1000% going to be our chinese food restaurant of choice from now on. I picked it up for lunch yesterday and the flavors were incredible, I agree with other reviewers who said every bite is like its own happy flavor burst of exactly what you hope for with Chinese takeout. 10/10 would recommend and we are so thrilled to have found our new spot.“

“If you love dumplings, you have to try this place out. Nicely done hot dumplings served by very kind & smiling hosts. A lot of options for dumplings and they let you mix & match. Perfect place to try out as the weather starts to get cold ?.“
