    Unpretentious restaurant in a strip mall, but once inside, decor is pleasant. Nothing overly fancy, but still nice, clean throughout. Food was above average, especially for the area which is not noted for ethnic diversity when it comes to dining. We enjoyed our meals, Singapore Noodles w/Shrimp and Beef Pho. Both were very well done. Pleasantly surprised by the quantity of shrimp provided in the Singapore noodle dish, and both shaved and beef chunks in the pho. Place a little off the beaten path perhaps, but worth a visit!

    No sugar added mango juice

    Friendly and fast server who quickly got us seated and took our orders in this clean restaurant which is located in a strip mall but doesn't feel like one. I got the mango juice when I asked which drinks did not have added sugar, this is what she suggested. It was sooo delightfully refreshing and not cloyingly sweet. The lunch crowd came pouring in after us but she handled a full restaurant very well. Then the food arrived and we ate almost all of it before realizing that we had forgotten to take any photos. The hazards of being a foodie yelper. Here are the photos we did take though. The food was so yummy so we will be back. I had gotten Singapore noodles which had at least ten jumbo prawns and loads of vegetables. Hubby got beef pho that had chunks of beef along with veggies. Very yummy so very happy.

    A7. Steamed Dumpling-so good!
    Caroline J.

    Has a lovely flavorful lunch here today! Friend suggested to meet up here and this is a nice cozy restaurant. Not tons of seating and it seems like they had quite a few people picking up to-go orders! The server was super attentive and friendly. She made sure we were well taken care of. For food we had the following: Dumplings-I thought they had great flavor and great sauce. Kao poa gow (basically Thai basil chicken) was also very flavorful. My friend enjoyed her Thai iced coffee as well as her pad Thai with tofu. She also had a boa bun and liked it.

    We went on a Saturday evening (early) and were the only party seated, so I was a little concerned, however, there were doing a lot of takeout orders. Our server was very friendly and checked back on us regularly. Food came out extremely quickly. Note- if you order a soda, it comes out in a can, with a glass of ice. Not pictured were our entrees - pad Thai and soft shell crab. Ambiance is casual and the shopping center is unassuming. Extensive menu to choose from. We would recommend and return.

    Shrimp fried rice

    Food is delicious and the employees are nice. Shrimp fried rice is super good and their egg drop soup.

    Service was amazing! They are very attentive and make sure that you don't have to ask for anything! The seating area has both music playing and a tv (no sound). There are several booth type tables for 4 - - that can possibly be joined for a larger crowd. The winner for me was that they sell both ramen and pho. The pho was very good. The noodles in the ramen as a bit slimy and more like oodle of noodle noodles (not the thicker noodles we are used to in ramen). The appetizers were really good also. Overall, I will return to try other dishes.

    Thin Noodle Pad Thai with beef, nice flavor.

    I visited there during a recent getaway. I wanted some good Asian food, so of course I checked Yelp. Akitchen was highly ranked and close by so I figured I'd check it out. That was a good choice! It's a small restaurant inside of a strip mall. There are a few tables there to eat-in, but I got takeout. I ordred the Money Bags and Thin RIce Noodle Pad Thai with beef. The Money Bags were great! They were filled with meat and highly spiced. The peanut flavor really stood out! For about $9, you get 3 (not bad in my opinion), nice sized and the presentation was very cute! The dipping sauce was a great addition. A little sweetness to balance the savory of the filling. I ate them too fast though. Second, I had the Pad Thai. I try Pad Thai at just about every restaurant that serves it so I did so here too. The flavor was pretty good, though I would have liked more sauce on the noodles. The amount of beef was about right, but a little more wouldn't have hurt. The bean sprouts were nice and crunchy, noodles cooked well and the lime rounded everything out. The lady that greeted customer had a big smile when people came to pick up their food. Nice to see that, especially as it's becoming more rare to see it. She was very personable and my order was waiting for me at the time it was scheduled to be ready. Overall, I enjoyed the restaurant and meal and would definitely go there again when I'm in the area.

    I have been to Thailand 3 times and the food is amazing. Today eating at A Kitchen I felt like I was once again enjoying great Thai food without the long plane ride.

    I came here with family and I really enjoyed all the options here! In this case asian fusion definitely means they have something of everything - from Chinese to Thai food. It was very good and nice and warm which is great for this chilly weather. We started with vegetarian spring rolls which were very tasty! I got the basil fried rice and my boyfriend got the super spicy ramen. We both liked our dishes a lot. This place had plenty of vegetarian options so I was pleasantly surprised and very happy we came here. I loved my dish - there were lots of fresh vegetables and I loved the fresh basil... but I had quite a few leftovers to take home. My only criticism is that it would be nice to have bigger take out containers!

    N3. Fire dragon (super spicy dry ramen)

    My favorite RVA restaurant. The food is AMAZING! Always have great service. Literally no complaints. I loveeee it so much. The money bags are a family favorite. I always get the spicy ramen and it's a 10/10. The ambiance is better for a family outing or chill date. I wouldn't go here for a "fancier" outing but definitely all others.

The pork belly was also yummy, would definitely recommend getting the house sauce to add onto it which really elevated it for us.

To me, a great presentation and a beautiful atmosphere are wonderful, but at the end of the day? Nothing can replace pure, authentic flavor. ​Well, Fat Dragon in Virginia absolutely blew me away. ​From the second we walked in, the experience was seamless. We had a party of eight with no reservation, and they sat us immediately. The ambiance was great, the portions were incredibly generous, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and completely on top of their game. Drinks arrived fast, and the entire meal flowed beautifully without a single hitch. ​But let's get to the real highlight of the night: the Tsingtao beer-battered mushrooms. ​Oh my goodness, they were out of this world! Perfectly fried and crispy on the outside, incredibly juicy on the inside, and dusted with a spicy Sichuan cloud that made them completely irresistible. They were so good that even my father--who isn't a mushroom lover at all--couldn't stop eating them! ​For my main course, I had the Fei Lone steak, and it was absolutely sublime. Tender, perfectly prepared, and packed with flavor. ​If you appreciate amazing service, a great vibe, and food that actually delivers on taste, do yourself a favor and check out Fat Dragon. I'll definitely be thinking about those mushrooms for a long time!

The entryway is interesting and provides some shelter from the rain, allowing you to manage your umbrella before entering. We were seated within seconds, and our server, Liza, came by very promptly with some water for our table. I felt slightly anxious at first, being that we were in a cozy two-top amongst the fray, but it subsided quickly because everyone was respectful and reasonably quiet. We ordered the veggie spring rolls to start, and I had the Chinatown Ramen, and my partner had the Chicken Fried Noodles. The appetizer was hot, savory, and spicy with the duck sauce and hot mustard mixture. If you like milder sauce, do not mix it. The entrees came out within five or so minutes of the appetizers, which seemed quick for a busy night. The ramen was spicy, hot, and filling. I was only able to finish about half. We will be enjoying those leftovers tonight. My partner said that her noodles and chicken were well-seasoned and delicious, too. Looking around the restaurant, it is clear that they support the local LGBTQ+ community, and it is even labeled as a Safe Space on the beautifully manicured, makeshift chalkboard/menu/posting board. The clientele and staff alike seemed warm and kind, based solely on limited interactions and observation on my part. If you are looking for a traditional American-Chinese food restaurant (think buffet-style items), this is likely not the place for you. There were no mishaps or snafus with our orders. Liza performed her duties well, and I can surely recommend this restaurant to anyone who doesn't mind a mix of Japanese and Chinese cuisine.
