    Chicken Noodle Soup is always delicious especially in cold chilly weather

    Always delicious. I love the lunch specials Pretty restaurant to eat in. Does great take out as well.

    Yes,....Pad Thai at a Chinese restaurant
    Marcus D.

    Great service at this family owned restaurant with a vast selection of food. Really wanted to go thai but my dining buddies wanted Chinese,...but in the end I got what I wanted, a really large plate of tasty pad thai. Had a nice serving of egg drop soup first. Nice decor at this restaurant and easy parking. Highly recommended Old Peking! Have never been disappointed coming here.

    moo shi beef
    Susan H.

    This restaurant has been on my radar for quite a while. Yet we only recently made our way there. They have been opened for almost 33 years which speaks to their popularity---and we now know why having been there twice at this point. We found the staff to be friendly, polite and efficient. The dining area is small yet you don't feel cramped. As for the menu, we liked that there were some old school entrees that aren't often seen in Chinese restaurants these day. For example, they have moo shi (chicken, beef and pork) and moo goo gai pan. They also have a few Thai entrees (Pad Thai and drunken noodles, for example). Each time we've been there it has been on a Sunday around 5 p.m. At that time of day, few people are dining in. However, they seem to do a robust take out business. This is what we've tried so far: Soups---hot and sour soup, wonton soup and egg drop soup. We both agree that the hot and sour soup is just okay as it seems to skimp on both the hot and the sour. My husband had wonton soup and said the broth was mild and the wontons were generously filled with pork. I tried the egg drop soup. Some Yelpers feel it's the best they've ever had. Since I hadn't had egg drop soup in years, thus I can't really make that claim. However, it did have a nice, mild flavor as well as a silky texture. Entrees --- chicken with garlic sauce, moo shi beef, ma po tofu and Hunan beef. My husband was really impressed with the chicken with garlic sauce saying the garlic flavor came through very clearly. I only sampled some of his and agree about the garlic flavor. I had the moo shi beef and was quite impressed. The beef was of good quality---very tender. The plum sauce, however, was flavorful but very thin. I would have preferred a thicker consistency. This dish comes with 4 pancakes. Just beware that the portion is huge! I ended up taking half of it home. The leftovers held up very well---even the pancakes. My husband agreed with my take on this dish. None went to waste. The second trip, for entrees, we had Hunan Beef and ma po tofu. Again, the beef was excellent! We enjoyed the flavorings but we wished that there was a better variety of veggies in it, rather than just broccoli, button mushrooms and carrots. Seeing the button mushrooms was a disappointment as this dish tends to have straw mushrooms. The ma po tofu, which is a vegetarian version, was quite good. It had just enough spice in it and the tofu cubes were cut on the large size. Again, button mushrooms showed up. This dish (which I sometimes make at home) tends to have shiitake mushrooms in it. We plan to return again and try more dishes. Just note that not all chicken dishes have white meat in them. Some do---and they charge more for all white meat. Others only have dark meat, and some are a mix of the two. So, if you like chicken and want white meat, be sure to ask when you place your order.

    ordered dinner tonight at 16:22 pm cost $117.82 {with tax} If you are considering of ordering here, please go elsewhere!! The spring egg rolls and the crab Rangoon they were either cooked in old oil or they were re-cooked either way I paid for this garbage! The Orange chicken white meat and the General Tso's white meat was extremely dry and also tasted like old fried oil. When I called to complain, the woman who answered the call- was apologizing profusely. Then she stated the next time....I wouldn't give her a chance to finish the statement. In a restaurant Quality control must be maintained at all times there is no next time. When companies go on the defense right away and then get mad at you, you can only wonder why? If you have money to spend on a meal, don't spend it here. If you do, you have no one to blame but yourself. I hope I don't get sick with what I've consumed!

One of the highlights of the night was meeting the owner, Jason. We bonded over our shared Cantonese backgrounds and even got to meet his aunt, who was visiting from California and happened to be sitting next to us. It made the whole experience feel incredibly welcoming and personal. We ordered the Dynamite Roll, which was a solid choice with 8 generous pieces, and the Szechuan spicy wontons, which were juicy with just the right amount of heat. If you visit, definitely grab a seat at the bar. The bartenders are friendly, engaging, and really add to the experience. We were treated to a complimentary shot of Jäger with Jason and even got to sample their Lychee Pearl cocktail because the bartender had made an extra. The cocktails really stood out. Instead of masking everything with sugary juices, they use extracts and creative techniques to build balanced drinks that complement the flavors beautifully. Jason also mentioned that their cocktail specials change every month, so we already told him we'll be back regularly to see what new creations he comes up with.

Our group of five sampled a great variety from the menu, including the Hot & Numbing Tofu Skin, Crab Roe Soup Dumplings, Cucumber Salad, Lettuce Wraps, Cumin Fish, Stir-Fried Beef Tenderloin, Crispy Pork Ribs with Scallion Crisps and Mixed Grain & Purple Rice, Stir-Fried Beef with Chilies, and Kung Pao Chicken with white rice. The standout for me was the cumin fish. It was fried perfectly--crispy without being greasy--and the cumin added great flavor without overpowering the dish. The crispy pork ribs lived up to their name and had a nice kick of spice. The cucumber salad packed a serious garlic punch, which I really enjoyed. The Hot & Numbing Tofu Skin was something completely different from what I expected. It's sliced into long ribbons that resemble noodles or pasta. The flavor was excellent, although the texture took some getting used to. The only dish that fell a little short was the stir-fried beef tenderloin, which could have used a bit more seasoning. Everything else was delicious. The portions are enormous. At first the prices seemed a little high, but once the food arrived it made perfect sense. Every entrée was easily enough for two meals. One thing to keep in mind is that rice is ordered separately and isn't included with the entrées. Service was excellent throughout our meal. We arrived for lunch and didn't realize they close between lunch and dinner (lunch is served from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.). We ended up staying until about 2:45, and the staff never made us feel rushed even though they had technically closed. They greeted us promptly, took our drink orders, and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu without hovering. The restaurant is tucked away on the ground floor of an office building, so it's easy to drive right past if you aren't looking for it. Parking was plentiful, and the oversized booths comfortably fit all five of us without feeling cramped. If you're dining with a group and want to sample a variety of authentic dishes, Mama Chang is definitely worth the visit.

Everything tasted fresh, hot, and flavorful. Definitely one of those meals where you keep saying "just one more bite" until it's gone. Straight FIRE!!! Highly recommend. I'll came back a few days later to order more of the shrimp w/ extra shrimp this time, it's that GOOD!

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.
