49 Best Chinese Restaurants in Richmond

“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!“

“Great concept with the interesting and diverse cocktail menu, along with tasty dishes served in generous portions. We were lucky enough to grab patio seats and enjoyed the parallel parking demonstrations and friends walking by.

The server could not have been nicer or more attentive, she was just terrific.“

“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).“

“Super clean inside, staff is really nice, food is fantastic! Nice big servings, well packaged, prepared fresh and tasted amazing! Will definitely order again!
I got the shrimp toast, egg drop soup, curry chicken and beef in garlic sauce (garlic sauce was a little sweet, as I think its supposed to be).
Absolutely the very best curry chicken I've ever had!
Yummy!“

“Tonight we had the pleasure of having a waitress named Nik. She was attentive, communicative and warm. She made sure our refills were well timed, checked in after she dropped off anything to our table to ensure the quality was up to par, and overall had a very warm demeanor. We did however have the displeasure of having the veggie spring rolls which were soggy, flavorless, and better suited for a gas station heat lamp. The Changs spicy chicken was okay if you like your chicken sweet instead of spicy. Would return for the service alone, but absolutely will not be ordering those dishes again.

Dietary restrictions: Server will ask about allergies, many gluten free and vegetarian options,“

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

“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’m biased, I used to work for Tina. Yeah she can be rude. But she also gave me and my friends decent jobs, celebrated Chinese new year with us, and let my Dad hang out at the restaurant when I worked on holidays. I’ve dealt with ruder restaurants in NYC for double the price. The food is good. She’s usually overwhelmed with orders when it’s busy and English isn’t her first language. If you want to avoid any issue when you order just say it how it’s listed and don’t ask specifics or changes. “Mock Ham Lo Mein Extra Spicy” and say “that’s it.” If you’re looking for a bespoke experience this ain’t it. Hungry and want a a lot of Chinese take-out with a bunch of vegan options? This is the spot.“

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

“Great Dim sum! We took 1/2 Peking duck home at it was wonderful as well we will be back.“

“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.“

“ABSOLUTLEY awesome food.
Had the Schewhan Shredded Beef and General Tso's Chicken (dinner specials).
Fried rice is awesome.
Oh and the Fried Crab Rangoon (as an app) Yeppers...great.
We did delivery ?“

“That was some of the best lo mein and chicken and broccoli I’ve had. My boyfriend goes here and got us dinner. I’m glad he did. We ate it all. He loves the chicken wings and fried rice. It was just $23 and was still really good. Egg roll was good too.“

“What a lovely restaurant! The food here is super tasty, and the welcome is warm.

I had the triple delight, which consists of beef, chicken and shrimp served in a beautifully seasoned sauce. It was so tasty! Mrs. H had a super tasty lo mein.

The ambience is worthy of a "Saturday night out" and there is a good choice of alcohol.

I am 100% happy to recommend this wonderful Chinese restaurant.“

“Best Chinese around, especially for vegetarians! The mock items are amazing and this is the only quick ready Chinese place that doesn't make me feel like a ball of grease after eating

Vegetarian options: The mock items are great, variable texture and taste depending on the dish“

“The food is AMAZING. The eggrolls were missing from my doordash delivery, and I called and he was ready to use his resources to make sure I got them and I heard the woman telling him she was sure they were in the order since she cooked them to order. I placed a second order the next day and he included the eggrolls with that order. The food is so good, and the customer service is seriously on point as well. On the rare occations that I do order food, this will 100% be my go to, the singapore curry noodles are out of this world (and I am not usually a fan of curry). I very highly recommend!“

“Really tasty stuff! My partner and I loved the veggie fried rice and lo mein, spring rolls, and crab rangoon that we got. The order turned out to be a little pricier than we were expecting, but there were also lots of leftovers. Looking forward to going back again soon!“

“Preface: If I ever "look" for somewhere quick to eat, it will be Chinese, and I always order Orange chicken. Some places it's good, others... meh.Lunch break? Of course I'll try a new Chinese take out. I received a pleasant greeting and proceeded with the standard process: order... 10 minutes later food is in hand and I'm whistling back to the truck. Took a short drive to Tuckahoe Creek Boardwalk to relax with scenery.Dragon City Orange chicken is phenomenal!I asked for exxtra spicy and the chef sliced the chilies before tossing em in the mix. Not too sugary, and plenty of orange rinds. Pork fried rice was delicious, fresh and juicy pieces of pork, not some crispy bacon bits. I forgot to ask them to add an egg to the rice, but I can't spoil myself too much.Satisfaction accomplished, thank you!Photo taken down the road at Tuckahoe Creek Boardwalk, check it out!“

“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.“

“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 was in the area and decided to get Chinese food. This restaurant cams up in my Google search of nearby restaurants. I placed my order online. When I walked in the restaurant I immediately wanted to cancel my order and leave. The inside is super small out dated and honestly kind of dirty looking. But I gave them a chance. Glad I did. The food was DELICIOUS!!! I live 30mins from the place and the food was still piping hot when I got home. I ordered beef and broccoli, general tso chicken ,crab Rangoon and Wonton soup. This would definitely be my go to restaurant if I lived closer“

“Little local out of the way place. With great prices and TONS of food. I don't expect great customer service, they're in there getting it done with the food and that's how you know it's a good place. I wish I could go extra spicy, but I also haven't asked if it's an option!

Have been probably 4 or 5 times now and my meal has always been fantastic.“

“Great standard Chinese food for great prices. Good portions, especially with the dinner combo. Make sure to order on their website (mealage) for the best prices. The woman who handed me my order was very nice and let me know about their website! We ordered the small chicken and broccoli, crab rangoons, and the sesame chicken dinner combo.“

“Very great food and service 😍😍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!!!“

“Fantastic, fresh food at affordable prices!“

“I love Ming’s! We go here any and every time we want Chinese food. It’s priced right and taste like authenticity. Funky hours of operation but this is our go-to for fried rice, lo mein, and sweet & sour chicken. Love the guys working in the back! Every time I walk in they greet me even when their phones are ringing off the hook for DoorDash.“

“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.“

“Eastern is our absolutely favorite take-out Chinese restaurant! They have the best crab rangoon in town, the best fried rice & their delivery is always so quick! They are also always so friendly! Highly recommend!!

Vegetarian options: Their bean curd options are delicious!“

“I like their lunch special. They have better options for lunch than any other Chinese I’ve had or been to in Richmond. Their combination platter comes with automatic fried rice instead of white rice like other places. Love their broccoli, it’s steamed to perfection!“

“Spectacular place to eat, I would be hard-pressed if other place that has such quality Chinese food.

If you're looking for a place to sit down or a place to pick it up and go home or even delivery, they offer this great food at such amazing prices and very quickly.“

“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“

“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!“

“Fast delivery because my partner delivers good and the owners are friendly . Recommend wonton soup and lo mein.“

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

“We ordered take out. Orange chicken, spicy shrimp with veggies, crab Rangoon…it was EXCELLENT!!! We are super picky about our Chinese food (Massachusetts has the best!) and our order was perfect! Quality and quantity! The Crab Rangoon was not the sweetened kind that I hate! Yay! Just a nice flavor with a little chopped onion… we were very pleased.. can’t wait for the leftovers tomorrow! Mmmmmm spicy ? with white rice!! The picture is of my leftover shrimp ❤️?? it is only left over because I ate all of the Rangoon first! Also the rice doesn’t come inside the dish, they serve that on the side.. I just like to add a little to soak up the spicy flavor. Thank you for wonderful meal!!“

“Tryed a lunch special for the first time at this establishment. Walking in the building, it looked bland and dated. My food was hot and actually really good. I was surprised and will be back to try another dish.

Parking: Shopping center parking.“

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

“First place I’ve found in Virginia that has homemade duck sauce to go with my egg rolls. That in itself is enough for me to five star this place, but really it was the insane quality of work I saw being pushed out in that kitchen. I arrived to pick up my food right at the appointed pick up time and it was clear from the moment I walked in that they were slammed (prime dinner time on a holiday). He said five more minutes and so I just sat with the other customers and waited. They were HUSTLING to get all of this food out. It was exactly five minutes that I waited… truly no harm done. The man at the counter apologized three times for the wait. When I got home, I discovered there were spring rolls that we never even ordered thrown in with our egg rolls to make up for waiting. Totally was not necessary, but greatly appreciated! Our order was hot, fresh, and perfect. This is the final stop on my search for good Chinese takeout.“

“I’ve been coming here for years. The lunch & dinner combo is still very affordable & great quality despite inflation with all the other businesses around! Good place for takeout if you want 1-2 meals under $10. Great people working, small family business. Highly recommend :)“

“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 love this place, the price is good, food is great and the customer service is excellent. Sometimes the kids are around when I go in to pick up my orders. They're great kids. They're so well behaved and cute. This is a working family and a community staple. Thank you guys. Your chicken wings are always PERFECT!“

“I picked up food Easter Sunday for our ladies group (my baby sister turned me on to the Red House & I've never been disappointed) shrimp fried rice, wings, triple delight, egg rolls and spring rolls the food is always fresh and hot and they give you your money worth... the ladies loved it and of course I did too this is my go-to for Chinese

Vegetarian options: Spring rolls“

“Last weekend was real hungry and didn't know what I wanted so I said wings and fried rice it is. Didn't want to drive to my usual spot red house. Tried ho wah and the wings were great and hot, the rice was real good. I asked for extra onion and theu didn't skimp.“

“First time. Food good. Ordered at counter and food was ready in about 10 minutes. Mostly carryout customers. Crab Rangoon was pretty good. Shrimp roll good. No spring rolls. Shrimp lo mein was fair. Noodles are very long. Shrimp and broccoli was very good. Shrimp toast was good. No fortune cookies in bag. Most Chinese restaurants give fortune cookies gratis. I would go there again.“
