The standout was definitely the sweet and sour chicken--very tasty--paired with the egg fried rice, which was absolutely amazing! We also started with the egg drop soup, which was a nice comfort classic. The only downside was the beef chow fun. It was a bit too salty for our taste, and the noodles were unexpectedly chopped up into small pieces instead of left long, which was a little strange. That being said, the highlights were good enough that we'll definitely be coming back to give their other noodle dishes a try.

The general tsos chicken seemed under cooked and the sauce was bland to the point there was no taste. We also had sweet n sour chicken, although the chicken was cooked...the red sauce was watery and tasteless.

Showed up to pick it up, but... apparently, my order never existed. They couldn't find it anywhere. I ended up waiting around for another 30 minutes while they tried to figure out what happened. And what did I get for my trouble? Nothing. No apology, no "Hey, here's a little something for the wait," just awkward silence. The food might be decent (I wouldn't know yet), but after that experience, it'll be a while before I'm back. Two stars for the confusion and the extra time I'll never get back.

I HIGHLY recommend chefs having better cooking training or the restaurant shouldn't even be in business. I wasted my 39$ at the restaurant and barely ate the food. If you are from West Virginia or anywhere else dont go here. Travel a bit more to Leesburg. More better Chinese food out there. Save your 30$ on gas.

The portions are incredibly generous, and every dish we tried was delicious. The drunken noodles were packed with flavor, the fried rice was perfectly cooked, the Tso's chicken was excellent, and the steamed fish was fresh and beautifully prepared. The highlight of the meal was the spectacular tableside Flambé dessert--it was both delicious and a fun experience. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The owners were also warm and welcoming, adding to the wonderful dining experience.

But what we did get was pretty darn good (if a bit pricey)! The style is much more authentic, so if you're looking for something like Hunan Cafe (Greenbriar), or that NOVA institution China King, this is different. Is it better? For the most part, yes. (But I still crave that Americanized sweet, spicy, glazey brown sauce that comes in slight variations in so many dishes). I had the hot and sour soup, Szechuan spicy fried eggplant sticks, Taiwanese rice noodles with fried tofu, and the Chengdu twice cooked pork. Everything was excellent, except....the hot and sour soup. Honestly, Hunan Cafe and China King beat the pants off this place's hot and sour soup. Here, it was a bit too sweet. It had some red chilies in it, but I could not detect much white pepper. And it's a vegetarian version, so no small bits of chicken or pork. I'd skip this the next time I order from here. But the other dishes... amazing! The noodles were light-tasting but still delicious. The eggplant was garnished with cilantro, garlic, salt, and red chili sauce. The twice cooked pork was sauteed with sliced leeks and the same red chili sauce. I think that's the fresh, zingy, spice flavor profile I like that can't be found at Americanized Chinese restaurants. Sure, China King has its place and I'll still go back there when I'm close (RIP China King Fair Lakes and Herndon). And admittedly, I go to that awful Panda chain occasionally because I never learn. The unfortunate thing is, I'll more likely go to these places than Cheng's because of the price. The pork dish was $21 and the noodle dish was $19. My total bill came to $60 before tax and tip. If I need to stuff my face with a Chinese umami bomb fast, I'm probably going to the other places for $15-30. I do want to try the rest of the menu at Cheng's, but it's going to be a drawn-out process for the sake of my wallet. I'd be remiss if I didn't include a comment from my dining partner. She compared the quality and taste of the food at Cheng's to Peter Chang's (either Peter Chang's-Herndon, or Mama Chang Fairfax). A high compliment. But she said the value is better at those places' AYCE options than what we got at Cheng's, and I agree. If you've been to none of these places, you have to try them all at least once.

Visiting from out of town dropped in this place and boy was I angry when I got back to the hotel. It was the worst Chinese food I ever tasted which i did not finish. DONOT I repeat DONOT waste your money. I am here to spare your dollars from this nasty dump. How in the heck do u muck up LoMein....and the General TSo must have been the leftover overs from the day before....never again.

Overall I think this is a great restaurant to dine in or take out. I personally like the takeout because it's fast. But there are pros and cons. Here's a few I can think of. Pros: * Cheap affordable food * Fast * good customer service * good food in general * clean Cons:* no delivery * no fountain drink In conclusion, it's a good place for busy people. read more
