50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Vienna

“This is our fourth time ordering from Chan’s Kitchen, and they’ve been very consistent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and reliable, which is why we keep coming back. Friendly and welcoming staff.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the egg rolls can sometimes be a bit greasy, but tastes really good.
Overall, still a solid go-to spot for Chinese food and definitely recommended.“

“Chef Tan Chinese Restaurant is situated at Danor Plaza, near Maple Avenue in Vienna, VA, serving authentic and flavorful Hunan cuisine with well-balanced flavors. Its exterior is modest, but the interior offers a spacious, modern ambiance with friendly service. The restaurant boasts a diverse menu and generous portions. I appreciate discovering a Chinese eatery that serves traditional dishes, avoiding westernized or Americanized variants that tend to be overly sweet.

Some dishes we loved and highly recommend:
1. Steamed pork dumplings, truly homemade with authentic flavor.
2. Pressure-cooked pork belly: tender, juicy, and mildly spicy.
3. Iron plate Mongolian beef: similar to Korean bulgogi but less sweet and saucy—very good!
4. General Tso’s chicken: a classic dish with chicken balls in a subtly sweet and mildly spicy sauce.
5. Pumpkin seafood tofu soup: sizable enough to share, with balanced flavors from pumpkin and seafood that weren’t overpowering
6. Fried rice: among the best in Northern Virginia, with a deep, savory flavor from stir-fried onions.“

“The dishes are even cleaner tasting and less salty than before, and we love the new chicken wonton soup. The chefs have creatively used spices and ground halal meat to recreate pork dishes. Great for those who eat halal but also for those who don't want to feel bloated after a Chinese meal. We loved the chicken broccoli and moo shoo and will be ordering again for this healthier take on American Chinese food.“

“I got bored of eating Chinese food, but this place is incredible, food taste soo good, totally different from other restaurants i have try. Is a small business but to takeout is perfect. I have try almost every dish of this place, and what can i say, is all tasty. Love this place.“

“I was not familiar with this place but my family was craving for real Chinese food! I checked good places near and decided to try China Express. To be honest when I parked in the front I was skeptical but follow my willingness to discover new places but when I got in and received by a very kind staff and felt the yummy smell from the kitchen I thought it was going to be good! I ordered fried rice, noodle soup, general tso chicken and some house lo mein, it was extremely delicious! Food quality is top and service was simply amazing! This is a hidden gem in Tysons and definitely will come back! Superb!“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“This is the most authentic chinese restaurant in Fairfax county. We had the best chinese new year dinner for our family of 10. Delicious food, good service, and very reasonable price. When i pre-ordered gluten free Peking duck they offered to pick up fresh Giant lobsters for our table. That was the best suggestion and most thoughtful and it was delicious with beautiful presentation. Love this restaurant! Highly recommend it, from a picky chinese grandma.“

“The service is great, the meal portions are big, the food is exceptional. Honestly, my favorite dish they serve is General Tso Chicken, but all of the dishes they serve taste good. The people there are friendly too. This place is a must go to and I highly recommend going here and having a bite of real authentic Chinese food. :)“

“My sister and I really enjoyed the calamari, cucumber salad, braised beef and noodle soup and garlic green beans. I rate those 5 stars. We also ordered the ugly dumplings sampler, I rate this zero star and it a waste of money. Now the service was excellent! Our server Abel took his time explaining the menu since it's our first visit. He was always smiling, courteous and respectful.“

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

“It was hard to get table waited 30 mins it was during busy period. We always get lettuce wraps, lomein, and shrimp. Its our go to basic Chinese place but very expensive. On the menu there is a chefs meal option where's its a set od dishes dor 20 dollars looks solid good for another 1 person wirh you to share.“

“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.“

“I was excited to try this new dumpling spot since I heard it just opened. I tried to make a reservation ahead of time since it was the weekend, but there seemed to be an issue with their system and it wouldn’t go through. So I had to just show up and ended up waiting a long time to get seated.

However, once we got in, the food was actually really good and everything came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The reservation issue and the wait weren’t great, but the dumplings were tasty enough that I’d go back again.“

“Ordered takeout from here several times. Good portions and food is freshly cooked and piping hot! Angie at the register is friendly and courteous and sometimes puts extra things like mints or stickers in your order! 😊
They are mostly a takeout place, but also have 2-3 tables if you want to dine in.“

“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!“

“My husband and I have been dining in or placing a take out at least once a month at Peter Chang McLean for the past year and a half! We were so excited to finally find a chinese restaurant that is somewhat formal and provide good quality ingredients! I'm super picky with my meat (the , but the fresh meat, vegetables, and other ingredients truly satisfy my particular self. They never disappoint with the quality of the food and the temperature! We have tried at least 80% of their menu items, including the AYCE lunch menus, and our go-to items are: pan seared shrimp dumplings, dragon garlic spicy eggplants, singapore curry noodles, shrimp lo mein, spicy dry fried bamboo fish, numbing green peppercorn flounder, sesame chicken (it's online, not in the menu), and spicy kong pao chicken. The waitstaff and manager are all so nice in addition to the great food! We will continue to go back and we're so happy people are finding a good quality chinese food!“

“Food is good. They need to clean the restaurant.
Restaurant. owner is very nice. The lady server who needs customers service skills.
Also they need to speak English when customers are around. Not in their language. Very rude.
Overall we give them 6 points over 10.“

“Food was absolutely delicious and ready pretty quick! I got shrimp fried rice-- shrimp was large and well cooked! Very flavorful! I also got crab rangoon-- real crab meat and oh so good! I had to ask for the sweet and sour sauce for it, but the lady was polite and gave it to me. It was sooo crunchy, warm and delicious! And I got fried chicken wings.. and they nailed it!! It was crispy and cooked so well! Batter was delightful! Very good overall! I will come back!“

“We ordered food for NYE. It was delicious 😋 Fried chicken wings were crispy; mongolian beef full of flavor; shrimp fried rice was fluffy with big shrimp and egg rolls were crunchy and good!!! I’m new to VA and so happy I found Peking Express🥡“

“Great food by superb Chef. He's been there for many years. I've had many of us dishes and all scrumptious! Delicious Healthy Menu food too.“

“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.“

“Nice Cafe, good flavor Chinese food .. but they use Styrofoam for takeout. UGH.. which means all the sauce spills into bottom of the bag. NOT GOOD.“

“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.“

“This location is it!! The other locations don’t compare in terms of service and quality of food. Everything tastes fresh and so flavorful!

I tried the Herndon and McLean location. Every time I go, it just misses something compared to here.

Customer service is simple and straight forward. They’re always looking out at the tables in case anyone needs anything and they’re fast!

Recommended dishes: Sichuan beef noodle soup, hot and sour beef brisket golden soup, cucumber salad w/garlic, fried pork chop with minced pork and fried egg over rice, black vinegar cold noodles, and pork/peppercorn soup dumplings“

“This place has great Chinese food!! Love how it’s piping hot even after the 15 drive home after pickup or when they deliver. All of the fried rice dishes, beef chow fun, chicken with broccoli, beef chow mein are some of our favorites. They’re also very nice and friendly. Super quick too.

Can’t rate ambience. We always get to go or delivery.“

“This is my go to chinese restaurant! I have been ordering from here for years and not once have I been disappointed. The food is always so good and the portions are perfect. I love rice so I always make sure I get the pork fried rice, its literally the best fried rice in my opinion. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place.“

“We ordered the pan-fried noodle and triple delight. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and we plan to make this a regular stop for dinner. The portions were very generous. I should have taken a picture but by the time I thought of it my dish was half empty. Next time.“

“This is the best Chinese food I've ever had. The vegetables were so fresh, they really tantalized my taste buds. The staff were very friendly, the prices and portions were great, and the restaurant was clean and quiet. In short, this Chinese restaurant is definitely worth a try! 👍👍👍“

“Exceptional dining experience at this Chinese restaurant, tucked away in a neighborhood mall complex. The setting isn’t super fancy, but the food is genuinely authentic, packed with rich flavors, and presented beautifully. Portion sizes are generous, offering excellent value. The restaurant’s cleanliness stands out, and the staff provides prompt, attentive service. For anyone seeking high-quality Chinese cuisine in a cozy location, this spot is a true gem.“

“Amazing place! The food is absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The owner is such a kind and welcoming person, which made the experience even better. A true hidden gem – highly recommended! A must go to place every time visiting DMV area.“

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

“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.“

“It was my first time here and the atmosphere is so nice. Everything was clean and bright. Our waitress Anna was so amazing and we really appreciated her explaining some menu items to us. She even recommended a few items and they were all delicious. I would definitely come back.“

“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!!!“

“Great meal - especially for those all day dim sum dumpings. Food is great - service sadly not so much but still worth it! Staff is really rude til they give you the bill which is extremely reasonable, they squish you into tables with bars that hit your shins too, tables of 6-10 be mindful of that! Otherwise excellent food just waited awhile for service and again they were ride literally hit my head with plates or elbows from behind without warning. Still love it.lol we all laughed sooo hard when 5 of my boys ordered a drink (soda/lemonade) which came
in a bottle and to go my son whom previously ordered water, ordered a soda to go thinking it to would be a bottle to go arrived in a cup full of ice!!! We all died laughing-the look of shock and disappointment was hysterical! Great food, and great price. Just watch where you sit at the folding tables - especially if you’re tall like all of us.

Our precise experience was better - food arrived they let us know and moved the lazy Susan accordingly.“

“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!“

“Dim sum yum“

“I visited RH this past Monday afternoon and had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious and was served quite quickly. For those who care, their service was terrific. Our server was very patient with all my questions and gave excellent recommendations. Everything he suggested was tasty! I highly recommend checking out this new Chinese restaurant and would be back soon to try other dishes.“

“You can tell by the ambiance that you've stepped into a place that had served famous people. There is an old time classic Chinese restaurant vibe here.
The ambiance is gorgeous, the decor is history, with pictures of patrons from wall to wall.

The servers and staff are professionally dressed, I felt underdressed

Walked into the place around 2:50pm, as i read through the menu, and decide on the lunch special, the waiter says, sorry but it's after 3pm (3:02pm) no more lunch special. Bummed, as now the prices from lunch to dinner are a 3-4 dollar amount difference, portion might be larger, but for one person, I didn't need more of just one dish, I wanted variety.

Everything was just basic, and the fried calamari's funnel cake like batter was quite sweet and greasy for me.

The wonton soup had a thick wrapper, well stuffed, not bad

Fried Rice was delicious, loaded with meat and shrimp, worth the value

Will go back to try the famous Duck when I have enough people to share it with, as it is at least $100 for the table service.“

“We feed a group from here every month, everyone loves it!!“

“First time customer. Ordered the following carryout lunch specials for myself and the kids.- General Tso's Chicken- Crispy Orange Chicken- Chicken with Broccoli- Sweet & Sour Pork- Pork Fried RiceThe gentleman behind the counter was nice and smiled when I entered.The prices were really reasonable and the portion size across the board was good.The kids and I enjoyed everything, especially the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. We'll be sure to come back.“

“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!“

“I really love this place! The food is always hot, flavorful, and the portions are huge (they give you so much rice!). The menu offers a great variety, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The pick-up service is quick and efficient — my order is always ready when I arrive. Definitely one of my favorite spots for Chinese food, I always leave satisfied.“

“AT Hunan West about twice a month. Variety and quality very good. Service is good--and friendly. Norman“

“Overall this restaurant is our favorite for Chinese food. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. Recommend the Sweet and Sour Chicken as well as the Kung pao dishes.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hunan Cafe in Burke is my go-to spot! The food is always fresh, portions are generous, and the flavors never disappoint. I’m a spice lover, and they always nail my extra, extra, extra spicy requests.

Service is fast, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and simple. Prices are super reasonable, and they don’t skimp on the protein.

The only downside? They’re closed on Mondays—but that just makes Tuesday taste even better. 😋“

“I ordered ahead the person who answered was friendly. When I arrived the process to pay was easy and the cashier was pleasant. There were several tables with chairs for dining in so I decided to stay and eat. The tables were clean. The interactions with the incoming customer were very personable, calling each person My Friend. I had the Orange Chicken with White Rice. It was good and hot.“

“Great food, reasonable price, fast service!“

“Grab & Go type restaurant inside Fresh World (Asian & International Grocery Store) serving Chinese barbecue. Their crispy pig (heo quay) is the best in the area, perfectly crisp and seasoned. We also love the salt and pepper duck; the sauce that comes with it is to die for. They sell vietnamese desserts and bbq roast pork buns too, but these are known to sell out fast.“

“I had Jjajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk. It was reasonable price and both were delicious. I had low expectations since the most of Korean Chinese food in America was not good. But this one was not bad and good price. I would come back again. Hope more people come.“
