    Nasty tasting hot-and-sour soup going down the drain

    I picked up an order of hot-and-sour soup for my boyfriend who is sick. He said it always helps make him feel better when he has this soup. Well, evidently I picked the wrong place because he let me know it is the nastiest shit he has ever tasted. So instead of chicken broth or anything else that would make you feel good that shit (the hot-and-sour soup) except two cans of oil would be worse! If we could give this negative stars we would. I feel bad for picking this place when all I was trying to do is help him get well, not sicker!

    Shrimp in garlic sauce????  Really???? (I just don't think so!!)

    Order is once again wrong!! I ordered shrimp in garlic sauce -- but got what I think is Shrimp with Lobster sauce or something -- i hate mushrooms and its full of mushrooms and 4 pcs of shrimp. Last time they messed up my order too! I like their food but can they get it together!!!!

    New to Manassas. I ordered Triple Delight for take out, they charge a $1 extra for fried rice. I added sweet and sour soup and an order of crab rangoon. The Triple Delight...was very good, nice sized shrimp and tasty chicken and beef. The veggies were especially fresh. The sweet and sour soup was a sizable portion and very good. I was a little disappointed in the crab rangoon...just not all that flavorful. What...no fortune cookie? I left feeling very unlucky. Just not as good as my fav in Chantilly, China Cafe.

    Unfortunately, the quality dropped off after my first couple of visits. The first thing I noticed was that there was very little meat in the entrees, especially noodle entrees. Paying about 10 dollars for a dinner entree that turns out to be mainly noodles is just not right! The last visit, I ordered a large hot and sour soup to go for 4.35. When I got home and served it, I found it to taste burnt! The worst hot and sour soup I have ever had. Inedible. It also had very old button mushroom mushrooms. No meat at all and just a couple of small pieces of fungus-probably wood ear. What a rip off. Threw it out. Another Chinese restaurant that I can no longer recommend. Even the fortune cookies were hard and stale.

    General Tso's Chicken. Wasn't crispy.

    Ordered the Genneral Tso's Chicken. It tasted good. Combination Fried Rice was delicious. Had the dumplings. I've had better. Crab Ragoon tasted a little stale.

    I recently moved back to the NoVa after a few years overseas and was looking forward to going back…read moreto Cheng's since it always had really excellent and authentic Szechuan. Sadly, I found out even before ordering that its original owner Louis Cheng recently retired and sold the restaurant to new ownership. The food was so-so but it was definitely not as good as I remember - the boiled fish in was definitely different versus what it was previously. Instead of spicy and fragrant peppercorns in oil, it was a simple sauce and cornstarch, very little heat and pretty generic. The other dishes didn't have the fiery wok taste that they used to and it felt more like an average Chinese food restaurant versus one that's more authentically Szechuan. Not bad food by any means, but less spice and more generic. Maybe it's a decision by new management to make it more mass appealing, but I was sad that it was sold and doesn't feel like the same place.

    If you're looking for outstanding Asian food, this place is absolutely worth seeking out. The…read morelocation is a little tucked away, but the food more than makes up for it. 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. And don't skip the beer--it was fantastic! Great food, generous portions, outstanding hospitality, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back.

    This was THE ABSOLUTE WORST Chinese food ever. The hibachi chicken looked boiled and not grilled…read more No flavor at all. Since moving to Manassas I realized that there are no good Chinese restaurants here. Just yuck

    We've been on the hunt for good Chinese food in Manassas for years and have always come up…read moredisappointed in three areas - freshness, spring rolls, and texture. Friends recommended Lin's and I'm pleased to say this may be our go to! We ordered online and picked it up on a Sunday evening and there were several folks dining in at the time which is great to see. The inside was very clean with all the sauces and utensils/chopsticks available to grab when you pick up the order. They had a hot sauce which we liked. We ordered general Tsos, hunan chicken, Taiwan rice noodles and vegetable rolls. Both the general tsos and hunan came with small containers of white rice. The veggie rolls were just spring rolls with cabbage but the shell was crispy and the cabbage still held up.. no mushy insides. The general tsos chicken was all white meat and good texture, but a bit lacking in spice. When we order again we will ask for more spice. Similarly the hunan chicken had a pepper next to it on the menu but had very little spice, but was redeemed by the number of fresh veggies. The squash in it was amazing! The noodles were not greasy, had good flavor and came with a good amount of chicken, beef and shrimp. The lack of grease and oil was very refreshing and will definitely have us ordering again! Someone dining in had a mountain of fried rice that looked and smelled amazing so will be trying that next.
