50 Best Chinese Restaurants near South Riding

“Food is always hot, fast, and delicious! I always get the Singapore noodles not spicy without shrimp. (I have an allergy) and it is right everytime. They also have amazing miso soup and general Tsos. Pick this one.“

“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!“

“Hunan cafe shares really good cuisine. They have options for everyone from spice tolerance and flavor preference; their Mangolian beef especially is worth 10 stars alone! Their staff are kind and treat you just as sweet as their crab Rangoon?“

“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.“

“Their hot and sour soup is AMAZING!!“

“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.“

“Had another great meal at Yens. Crispy Szechuan Beef, Chicken Lomein, great little dessert bun! Not pictured the great pork potstickers! Nice ginger flavor on those! Service on point, food hot tasty & clean tasting flavors. A gem in our community. Owners are very nice, I witnessed her once bring a fry pan out for customer to try sauce & she thought was too spicy so owner asked what she liked & invented her a new dish, and put it in computer so she could order it again. That sealed it as a winner for me.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“My neice wanted to go to her favorite place for her 18th bday, so my sister called the Chin Chin Cafe and they said no problem. They had reserved tables when I arrived so I could decorate. Raymond was the MOD and was very helpful. We also had great customer service from the 3 employees working that night, it could not have gone any smoother! The timing of the food coming out was perfect!! Everything from the appetizers to the sushi to the main course dishes were delicious and plentiful. All our guests, especially the bday girl, were very happy. if you have not tried them yet, do yourself a favor and do so. Thank you to everyone at Chin Chin Cafe for helping to make it a perfect celebrationof our beautiful girl!!“

“Always great food and excellent customer service!“

“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.“

“Ordered one order of orange chicken and they delivered it to me in under 10 minutes. The fried rice is fresh the vegetables tasted fresh. The chicken mostly white meat. I can tell they use clean oil when cooking the rice. The food tastes very good.“

“Our Monday night dinner group has come back here multiple times. The smell is wonderful immediately when you walk in. The host and all staff there are super friendly and always fun to chat with. Our waiter had our whole table laughing every time we engaged with him. Everyone's orders were perfectly cooked, nice sized portions and came out very quickly. I personally love the Malaysian Iced Coffee, Roti Canai and Chicken Satay. Our group had noodle dishes, beef, lamb, seafood....all was wonderful. The flavors are vivid and bright, delicious and clearly comfort food. I promise you, you'll enjoy your trip here. Great food for everyone. Very nice open atmosphere and every table seemed very content.“

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

“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.“

“Great experience! It’s my first time and it was so easy to order on the phone and the lady on the phone was super nice. Food looks nice and fresh and great portion I saw her pile it to top in container after making it. It was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint“

“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?“

“One of my favorite restaurants for many years now. I used to go to Manassas Young Chow until it closed. Now I have to drive to Haymarket but it's worth it!

Vegetarian options: You can get a few vegetarian dishes. Everything I've ever gotten here is good to delicious

Kid-friendliness: Lay back enough to bring the kids“

“Delicious Food and it’s near me. New Favorite. And Recommended“

“I have been coming here since we moved to VA back in the early 2000's. For a while I stopped eating here due to covid and health issues, but I'm so glad I started again! They have the best lo mein in the area and their egg rolls are always crispy. They are the reason I fell in love with chicken corn soup and General Tso's. I absolutely love this place and hope they stay open for another 20+ years!“

“Amazing!! Not only was the service impecable, but the food was absolutely delicious! This will be our next go-to spot! You have to try the spicy fried potstickers 🥟 , don katsu, and Jjajangmyeon, with a cold Hite beer. 🍺 Hands down one of the friendliest restaurant owners I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to go back!!!“

“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.“

“The absolute best restaurant you can go to in the Brambleton town center
Food amazing staff wonderful moderately priced great for a little night in or night out. I truly have never had such great service and food highly recommend the crab wontons and the chow fun noodles love Asian spice will die on that hill.“

“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.“

“This is a friendly and welcoming place managed by wonderful owners who care about customers. When our family went we had these jajamyung noodles and they were so soft and delicious. Main courses like tang soo yuk was well marinated and great to taste. The chef is skilled and the staff is kind. Give this place a try as the pricing is also fair as well.“

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE PEI WEI!!! I COULD EAT IT EVERYDAY!!“

“This is a sweet Mom and Pop takeout restaurant where you can dine in if you want. Had dinner kung pao shrimp, dee-ee-lish! Order and pickup in person based on lame reviews. Absolutely wonderfully prepared with FRESH ingredients. Best k.p. shrimp I've had so far in nova.“

“Great food. We've been going here for more than 4 years and we always get great food and service“

“The menu offers a wide range of dishes that cater to every palate, whether you’re craving classic favorites like General Tso’s Chicken or more adventurous flavors like Szechuan-style seafood. Each dish is expertly prepared with fresh ingredients and balanced seasoning, reflecting true culinary craftsmanship. The highlight of my visit was the general so chicken and the combination fried rice which were bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, making it great for sharing or taking some delicious leftovers home.“

“Take out Chinese food. Very good tasting. Fast service. Reasonable priced.“

“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 :)“

“HotSpot in Chantilly is one of my go-to places for hot pot! The quality of the meats and ingredients is always fresh, and they offer a great variety of options, whether you’re craving a hearty soup or want to grill right at your table. The all-you-can-eat deal is definitely worth it, especially if you’re going with a group.“

“I've ordered from here twice for delivery (using their website) and it's been a great experience both times. I have no idea how they get it done and to us so fast! I get a few different things and everyone tries a bit, so 2-3 dishes are really enough for our family of two adults and four kids.“

“We did takeout and it was great! Easy menu to understand, called and placed order super easy and quickly. Food was ready within minutes! Brought back home and it was delicious, the meat was so tender and all the veggies were steamed perfectly. Highly recommend!“

“I read the reviews and I was a little nervous to eat here but they were wrong. My food was serviced quickly and piping HOT!!! I ordered shrimp lo mein. It was very good!! I don’t live in Manassas but I’m there often and I won’t hesitate to eat here again.“

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

“What a hidden gem in the shopping plaza! We needed our Chinese fix and found it here. We were warmly greeted and guided through the menu. We didn't have to wait long before our order was ready. The food was delish and we've definitely highlighted it for a return trip. Parking nearby can be a challenge due to the sheer number of businesses in the plaza.“

“Excellent food. I've been looking for good Chinese food since moving here a couple of years ago. I've tried quite a few places and am so happy I've finally found it here. I don't understand why the ratings are not higher.“

“A very good value for the price. My scallops and shrimp were huge in a $15 dinner. They seem to have a very big take out business with many regular customers that they greeted by name.“

“Fantastic food, fantastic people. A DoorDash driver stole my order, I got in touch with DD support, and they said they'd redeliver. A few minutes later, Mandarin noticed that it was the same order to the same person, and called to check and make sure I wasn't mistakenly getting double charged. 11/10 customer service, I can't think of a restaurant more deserving of your business.“

“The food was pretty good. Not too salty but flavorful. But I ordered the Szechuan chicken because of the pic that's attached to them in photos on Google and it looked nothing like that. It was mostly vegetables. So again it was good, but was not what I was expecting. I want to try the pic that shows up.. and it was within the lunchtime hours but I got charged dinner prices. I'm pretty sure the lo mein I ordered was in a lunchtime-sized container and wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be after asking for it to be spicy. I'll try then again but I guess i gotta be more specific or ask more questions..“

“New, clean location. Drove over an hour and got about 70 dollars in food from this location after confirming it was the same one (chain?) from Reston for my moms birthday...I think they even had the same decorations from the old store (chain?). They perfectly packaged my order. After years it made me so happy my mom was able to enjoy the same hot and sour soup she loved and remembered and has been taking about and missing for years. Thank you from the kid of the "Hot and sour soup lady" lol.“

“Have not been to the mall as often as it is not what it was…. But I learned today after more than a decade away that Master Wok has upheld its standard. Huge potions, delicious, well priced. I can see myself coming to the mall just to eat here now.“

“We order here a few times a month and it’s always on point. Even though there are tables there this place is meant for take out, only dine in if you need a quick bite to eat. Also highly recommend their crispy chicken. Best item on the menu hands down.“

“Really exceeded my expectations. The fried rice was the best I've had from any Chinese place, and I make fried rice often. The lunch specials were big portions, delicious and at a good price. Nice people who work there. Will be ordering again.“

“I gave this place 5 stars because it’s exactly what you’d want from a spot like this. The food was fresh, tasty, and served quickly. The staff was friendly and made sure everything was right. It’s a great choice for a casual meal, and I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“Our family Kiet and I love this place. Taste of Hong Kong is a gem! The dim sum is fresh and authentic, the Chinese seafood dishes are packed with flavor, and the roast duck is perfection—crispy skin and juicy meat. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Excellent food, great service, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
