48 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.“

“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!“

“This place is subpar. Food was average, not worth the price. However, I will absolutely be coming back due to the service. Andrew did everything in his power to accommodate my family. I don’t think I’ve seen a server as personable, competent, and willing to fulfill our wants and needs. He seems to go out of his way in order to make us feel welcome, and that no task is too small. He even made our kids happy! Any request they had, he was on top of. Very attentive, respectful, and polite! Maybe this guy should be a manager….? He checked on us more than the actual managers did, even though he was clearly busy; I don’t think I saw a manager my entire time. I would have loved to praise him to a higher up. KEEP THIS GUY! I love the new lamps on the table, it gives a little more light, and makes me feel like I’m not in a dungeon. Host seemed very disinterested in helping, and very monotoned. Not necessarily how I want to feel when I walk in. Didn’t really feel welcome until our server came along.“

“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?“

“Top notch Chinese! This is my second visit here, first visit I only ordered shrimp fried rice. I’m so glad I returned. This place has it all, reasonable prices, excellent customer service, and quality and tasty meals. For my family I ordered fried chicken and fries for my son, shrimp egg foo young for my wife and I and orange chicken and fried rice for my older son. The store was filled with customers which had me excited. This is the spot! The cashier brought everyone’s takeout food to them with a smile on her face. It seemed like she knew all of her customers. I took my food home to my family and the food was phenomenal. Extra shrimp in the egg foo young, seasoned chicken wings, everything was great. I can’t wait to return to order more food. I’ll recommend this place to anyone!“

“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.“

“Always great food and excellent customer service!“

“Their hot and sour soup is AMAZING!!“

“One negative for me was that they do not deliver.

Chicken broccoli pieces were of varying sizes.. some were thin some were thick... I prefer mine to be all relatively the same size... these were not... the broccoli was good - the chicken good. the sauce had a nice taste to it ... the white rice the meal came with was alright... as far as white rice goes... wish they would have put more than 1 singular soy sauce packet in the whole bag....

I question how fresh the rice is, because all around the outside of the container it came in was dried rice stuck to it... All-in-all a decent meal. Not the best Chinese I've had, but also not bad... 7/10“

“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.“

“I'm from NYC, grew up on Chinese food, and very critical of restaurants in general. The Asian Cafe Chantilly is an outstandingly excellent restaurant. The quality of the food is uniformly the very best I've had, and the service is highly responsive, flexible, and professional. I very strongly recommend the Asian Cafe Chantilly. It's actually worth a long drive if you live far away, that's how great this place is.“

“I ordered over the phone then went to the wrong Chinese take out. 🤦‍♀️ We finally get to the right place 25 minutes late but everyone was kind and they even gave me $2 off my order because they didn’t understand about me asking about a children’s size portion (which they do not have.) I told them there was no need to give me a discount, but they did anyway. 😊

We get home and amazingly enough our food was still hot! 👍 I thought the moo goo gai pan was pretty good, my daughter liked her Lo mein, but my husband thought the General Tso Chicken was just ok.

While my husband thought the food was just ok, I’m bumping my rating from 4 to 5 stars because of the customer service.“

“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!!“

“We needed to order for a large group with multiple food allergies on Christmas Eve. A difficult task. Hunan assured us that their kitchen practices would keep everyone safe, and they delivered on that promise!

We had no issues with finding menu options that were peanut, tree nut, and gluten allergy friendly. There was no jumping through hoops, and when we placed an online order they had sections to add food notes AND a separate section just for making note of allergies!

The food was delicious: all the dishes were well seasoned, the meat was very tender, and the portions were so generous! They also gave us so many fortune cookies! Thank you Hunan for feeding our family holiday celebration!“

“After living in Countryside for over 40 years we never found this gem. Long time patrons of Cheng’s & Good Fortune restaurants we have tried many other local Chinese restaurants with no real luck. Found China Goirmet on a whim search and it exceeded our expectations!! The potstickers were tender, flavorful and mouth watering! The moo shi pork and the crispy crunchy beef were over the top wonderful! The prices were very reasonable and they even had bar service with extremely reasonable prices. Service was extremely attentive without being over bearing. We can’t wait to come back and try something different!! Well done!!!“

“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.“

“Food was prepared exactly how I was expecting. Their beef sticks, sweet and sour chicken, and egg roles were incredible. Staff was friendly to me in the store. I ordered takeout and they made sure to remind me to grab sauces and utensils before I left. That may seem small but was important to me. Will 100% be back“

“I still think they make some of the best soup dumplings this side of the MD/VA border - we won’t compare with the bountiful Rockville area of course!
This has been my go to place for soup dumplings for a few years now - I have taken it out successfully-
This last time I tried the schezwan green beans and couldn’t stop eating it
I’ve had the crispy chicken (3/5), fried rice (3/5) and some of the other dishes .in a nutshell - comfort Chinese takeout
The staff there has always been super friendly! Special shoutout to them“

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

“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.“

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

“Hey guys I’ve been in Va for 4 years and this my fav spot ❤️❤️ I kno u guys have seen all the negative reviews but I’ve came to this place more than times and I don’t see why they have a 3.6 review their food is really good and worth the money ! Trust me I have 4 little ones and I’m very picky where I get my food from and this is the only Chinese spot that my family and I go to ! I wish they all the negative reviews gets taken down ASAP because for at least 4 years they had been doing a magnificentttrtt job keeping this place clean and food always taste “bussn” that’s what my kids call food that taste great !!! 😂😂“

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

“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.“

“China Cafe frequently updates its menu and offers affordable prices. We often dine in or order takeout, and the staff are always very friendly and polite. There is a wide variety of dishes, and the flavors are very popular. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy, the dining environment is comfortable, and it is very well liked!“

“This restaurant has staying power! Been around as long as I can remember. My folks first visited on a whim, stopping for a bite on one year on New Year's Eve. Ever since, they always reminisced about the wonderful experience they had trying a new place and making it a regular stop.

Fast forward many years and they still have great food, a diverse menu, nice people...and now easy online ordering (and delivery) too. Don't sleep on the Chef's Special Salt & Pepper Squid!“

“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!“

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

“We love chopsticks house, it’s one of the best Chinese places in the area.

A little concerned though because I ordered on April 18 2025 for my family, and my dad got a piece of a metal cleaning brush in his food. Thank goodness he noticed and didn’t swallow it.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I recently visited Brambleton Asian Spice Cafe and had an outstanding experience, easily deserving 5 stars. I ordered the orange chicken, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, coated in a flavorful, slightly tangy sauce that wasn’t overly sweet. It came with a generous portion of fluffy white rice that paired perfectly with the dish. The presentation was neat, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience pleasant from start to finish. If you’re looking for delicious, well-executed Asian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend this spot!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Ordered from here a few night ago. It’s the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. Fresh and not oily like a lot of other places. And reasonably priced. Will be a repeat customer.
Also ordered delivery and it came on time and with a pleasant delivery person. ♥️“

“The food at Mandarin today was absolutely amazing! Everything was delicious, fresh, and perfectly seasoned—not too salty. The egg rolls were terrific and not greasy at all. This experience was definitely a 10-star (or more, if I could give it) meal!“

“The food at the restaurant is amazing, and Zuha at the reception and hostess truly enhances the experience with her warm and professional service. While the ambiance could benefit from a refresh, the overall dining experience remains exceptional thanks to the delicious dishes and excellent hospitality.“

“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.“

“Stopped by this spot on a whim and decided to randomly try a new Chinese place—and wow, this one really hit the spot. Everything was so good. The service was excellent from the moment I walked in; the gentleman who greeted me was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly.

The food was delicious, and I absolutely loved the Singaporean noodles. They also have so many options that you don’t typically find at other Chinese restaurants, which was a nice surprise. Service was quick, portions were great, and I really appreciated that they use recyclable containers.

There’s also plenty of parking and lots of room inside, which makes it an easy, stress-free stop. Overall, just a really solid experience with great food and great service. I’ll definitely be back.“

“I have never ordered from this establishment. Since (YOUNG CHOW) closed in Manassas years ago, it's been hard to find good tasty Chinese food. The guy who took my order was great!! The food was so delicious & tasty 😋!!! Will definitely be back!! Great customer service as well - Carol P.“

“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!“

“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..“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible! 10 Stars if I Could!

This is hands-down the best Chinese restaurant we’ve ever been to! The food is bursting with flavor, always fresh, and served piping hot every single time. You can truly taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. The portions are huge — we easily got three extra meals out of our order, and it was just as delicious reheated!

Everything we’ve tried has been outstanding, and you can tell they use only the freshest ingredients. The flavor is unmatched — rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. Honestly, this place doesn’t just deserve 5 stars; it deserves 10 or more!

If you’re thinking about trying this place, don’t hesitate for a second. It’s the very best Chinese food you’ll ever have!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite local spots! The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. Their combo plates are super satisfying and great value, and the crab rangoons are the best — crispy, creamy, and perfectly sweet. Definitely a local favorite for takeout!“
