If you love Orange Chicken from Panda Express, you definitely need to try theirs! It's sweet, made with real orange peels, smells amazing, and has just a little kick. My son absolutely loves their Sesame Chicken, it's very similar to the Orange Chicken but without the spice. Our other favorites are the Filet Mignon Hibachi and the Hot & Spicy Beef. And don't forget to end your meal with their Milk Tea Boba, it's the perfect treat! The restaurant owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. They always take the time to check in, make sure everything tastes great, and create such a warm and friendly atmosphere. It's rare to find someone so hardworking and thoughtful, and their kindness truly makes this place special.

Nice heat, orange zest helps amplify the citrus. Just yummy. House fried rice was a little lacklustre by comparison, but it's not hateful. Generous amounts of protein and veg but the flavour isn't very deep. I mixed a little soy and fish sauce together and that helped to bring things together. Over all solid experience. More of a take out than a destination. The dining room is a little sparse. Counter service is good though.

She eventually re entered the total amount. I'm not opposed to tipping and probably would have added a tip myself but absolutely not if you add it sneakily like that. Beware.

It was definitely more on the side of actually Chinese than American Chinese, based on the menu and the people working there. They did have a reasonable vegetable and tofu selection. Among the dishes that you don't usually see at the more American restaurants was a dry cumin tofu preparation. It had abundant cilantro, and I'm in the category of people who gets a weird soapy aftertaste with cilantro but still likes to eat it from time to time; this dish gave me a ton of aftertaste but was otherwise good. A ma po tofu had proper fermented bean paste and leeks, albeit not a ton of numbing sensation that I could discern which is really the bar for the best rendition of the dish. Their cabbage dish was described as "hand torn" and it strikes me that this is the sort of place where that's probably true, and it was a tasty saute and a nice contrast to the rest. Their online ordering system wanted to offer me a free egg roll for my order but wouldn't let me get a vegetable one. I wish they'd label some of the dishes more clearly for dietary needs or just plain description. But overall, it was solid food for a town with a relative dearth of this cuisine.

First impression? Run!…read more Here's the deal. At dinner time there wasn't a single soul in the dining room. And from the looks of things, Szechuan Restaurant hasn't actually sat anyone at a dinner table in quite a while. Maybe at lunch. That's surprising, because the restaurant is located within easy walking distance of several motels. But being adventurous, we decided to place an order. The buffet? Nope. Ignore the signs. The hibachi grill buffet? Nope. You can order hibachi, but forget any buffets. So, we ordered a bunch of items to take back to our room. Our starter, Hot and sour soup was a "never again". Dishwater has more flavor. But the other dishes were quite tasty, if you don't mind a little oil. But white rice can easily soak that up. Our shrimp and vegetables came with a variety of crisp veggies and huge shrimp. Nothing skimpy here. The chicken lo mein was also very good. Large pieces of chicken and noodles. The beef & scallops was a 50/50 deal. The beef was very good. The scallops were clearly not fresh and had a peculiar flavor. I'm hoping for the best. All in all, large portions, and decent food. Served up nice and hot-fresh from the wok. I just found the flavors very bland. We asked for spicy Szechuan and on a scale of 1-5, it barely cleared 1/2. Same with shrimp and veggies. They must do a heck of an online and delivery business. And be sure to pass on the scallops.

Ask your average Food Lion shopper and they'll tell you how frustrating choosing the right takeout Chinese can be. Luckily, the rare gem of a not terrible, not bad, not decent, not only good, but GREAT Chinese Takeout is finally here in Charlottesville. The Red Lantern has tasty, well-portioned takeout food for a decent price. I was more than satisfied with the General Tso's Chicken and Sesame Chicken my fiancée and I ordered. The rice didn't taste like cheap-o quick rice, and the egg rolls were made in-house. Granted, it's still takeout, so don't go in expecting this to be a life-changing American-Chinese experience. But, if Christmas dinner falls through, I'll be turning to The Red Lantern this holiday season.

I love dumplings and have eaten them even had Michelin recommended places like Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings. I can confidently and completely say these are the best dumplings. I would get the wrong rice and wrong order so long as I got these dumplings. I can confidently say they are homemade and not some restaurant supply dumplings. I have been thinking of these dumplings since I had them. So good.
