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.“

“Crystal made the best recommendations for our first time. We had 3 orders of soup dumplings (2samplers and 1 chicken), cream cheese Rangoon, vegetable fried rice, edamame and ice tea with orange and lemon.

Crystal thank you so much for wonderful service, conversation and food! Hope to see you soon. This is my wife’s fav new spot!“

“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?“

“Caleb provided us with amazing service! Frequently checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed, especially when they were at their busiest. The only con I would have was their serving sizes were on the smaller size, but otherwise the service was top notch!“

“Excellent food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The soup dumplings and noodles were especially delicious. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Yu Noodles to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Chinese cuisine.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This was my first time here at hotspot and I had the best waiter ever who was really nice and caring and was very helpful to me in my service. I would definitely recommend this to everyone i know because hotspot employees have gone above and beyond. They also serve great food and sauces, one of the best quality hot pot foods i have had. To anyone who has never tried it, i would definitely recommend coming here first. Thanks daddy natejang and daddy jian“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Their hot and sour soup is AMAZING!!“

“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.“

“Always great food and excellent customer service!“

“I had a great dining experience at China Gourmet Inn. The food looked delicious, the portions were generous, and the dishes were served with fresh vegetables and flavorful sauces. The beef and broccoli looked especially tasty. The meal was nicely presented, and everything looked appetizing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Chinese food!“

“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 had a great experience at Dumpling Queen! We ordered Lili’s Special Dumplings and the beef and broccoli to share; both dishes were delicious and satisfying. The service was just as wonderful. Our waitress, who may have been the owner, was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d recommend, and I look forward to coming back to try more of their menu!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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’ve ordered take out from here 3 times now and so far, each time, the quality and flavor have been spot on. Portions are reasonable for the price point. The staff / owners are friendly and efficient. Would recommend if you’re in the area.“

“The food came out amazingly fast—within 5 to 10 minutes of ordering! The chef clearly works with impressive speed and efficiency. Not only was the service super prompt, but the food was also delicious. The seasoning and spices were wonderfully balanced without being overpowering.“

“Outstanding food and service…have gotten home deliveries from Hunan Cafe in Herndon for several years now. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“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!“

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

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

“Super reliable for delivery! Everything arrived hot and packaged securely, and the ingredients tasted remarkably fresh. The food quality is consistently great, and dealing with the restaurant is always a nice, smooth experience. Will definitely be ordering again.(ps - is one of our favorite take out places around Fairfax/ Chantilly)“

“this restaurant is like the highlight of my life. “oh ur over exaggerating” no im not. I’ve been to this restaurant for my whole life. ever since kindergarten to now. I used to come here fairly often. but even though I moved away, i still convince my mom to take me here usually once a month. if u never come here, u will regret it. #ILOVEASIANSPICECAFE🩷“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“I’ve been ordering take out from this place for over 20 years.. I’ve since lived in NYC and Miami, and whenever I come home to visit my family I always get my same order - sesame chicken, chicken with cashew nuts, chicken Lo mein, and fried wontons… wherever I go I have never found a place that hits as hard as this Chinese restaurant! It’s a true gem!!!“

“I love Chen’s so much! Their food is delicious and tastes truly authentic. They always add extra sauces and take care of any special instructions I add to my orders. Their prices are very good and the staff is very nice! They also have a ton of options for different preferences! Definitely recommend.“

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

“Tried the lunch special, sweet and sour chicken, plus crab Rangoon. Everything came out hot and tasted fresh. Portions were pretty standard for lunch. The Rangoon were tasty but felt a little pricey. Super convenient spot near other stores and next to Home Depot, so it's easy to grab food while running errands. Overall, solid, average carryout with no major complaints.“

“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.“

“I have lived in Broadlands since 2000. This is the best Chinese Restaurant in Broadlands! I love the food and have been coming here to eat since I remember. They have the best chicken fried rice and beef dumplings. The lady at the counter is so nice and friendly. Quick service and great quality food!“

“One of the few places with extraordinary eggrolls, reminds me of Wu's Garden from my childhood. Thick eggrolls with an actual eggroll wrapper, not the spring roll thinner wrapper.

The meals are great and reasonably priced. Everyone in the party enjoyed the food, especially the szechuan and hunan.

Great little find in Manassas.“

“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..“

“We had a dine in dinner and were very disappointed. Service was very slow. Rice was served 15 minutes early we were hungry so ended up finishing the rice. Entrees came lot later. Food came cold“

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

“​I had an incredible dining experience here! The food was exceptionally fresh, beautifully seasoned, and certified halal, making it a wonderful spot for anyone looking for authentic, high-quality meals.
​A special shoutout to our waiter, Abid, who truly made the evening unforgettable. His warmth, attentiveness, and fantastic recommendations made us feel so welcome and well-cared for from the moment we walked in. Service like his is rare to find.
​If you are looking for delicious food paired with world-class hospitality, this is the place to be. We will definitely be coming back soon!“

“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 !!! 😂😂“

“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!“

“We've been frequenting this place for quite some time now, and whenever we visit, the food is always consistently delicious. We generally prefer to dine in, and it's fantastic to see the renovations they've done, particularly including the improvements to the restrooms.

Our go to dishes have been: sesame chicken, vegetable lo mein, hot and sour soup, fried + white rice, crab rangoon.“

“We have catered food from there for our large scale and small scale events for a few years now and have never been disappointed. There prices, quality and customer service is unmatched. Guru has been very approachable and easy to work with. We have had guests come in give wonderful reviews about the food and ask us about the catering service every single time. Highly recommended 👌 💯“

“We recently moved here from Falls Church and have been struggling to find a Chinese spot that actually measures up—until now. I placed a takeout order for the Hunan Chicken lunch special and was honestly blown away.

Even after the drive home, the food was piping hot and the quality was top-tier. The veggies had that perfect fresh crunch and weren't soggy at all. Most takeout in the area can be a bit bland, but the seasoning and spice level here were exactly what I’ve been looking for.

The shop has a great family-run vibe; I’m pretty sure the owner herself took my order when I walked in, and he was incredibly friendly. The value is also insane. My lunch special came with fried or white rice and a spring roll for under $10, which is a great value.

We did ourselves (and them) a favor and payed with cash. In a world of rising prices, it’s one way to support local businesses like this one so they don’t get eaten up by credit card fees. Let’s help them keep these amazing $10 lunch deals alive!“
