    For my recent visit to Peter Chang's weekend Bottomless Dim Sum and Tapas Brunch, I prepared by: * Fasting for 12 hours * A one hour gym workout * Two hours playing pickleball Met up with my immediate family to celebrate Mother's Day this past weekend, and I gotta say, this brunch is one of the better AYCE deals currently in NOVA. Located off of busy Centreville Road in Herndon, DMV legendary restaurateur Peter Chang opened this latest establishment in September 2024. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended for their Bottomless weekend brunch; and especially if you have a large group, as we did. There is limited parking right in front, but drive a bit further for a larger lot across the street within a 2-3 min walk. The interior is modern with the familiar high ceilings, exposed duct work, faux greenery, and Asian themed artwork. Combined with the choice of almost tropical like tables and chairs, the decor was giving off serious Malaysia vibes. When our server arrived, she explained that diners could choose items from EITHER the Chinese Tapas or Traditional Dim Sum menu, which is awesome since this allows for the culinary options of over 45+ items!!! Depending on the size of your group, I would suggest ordering 6-8 items at a time, since the plates are small (about a 1-2 person serving size). And TBH, I like this style of AYCE as opposed to the the usual long steam tables of food which just sits underneath heat lamps, and has tongs which have been handled by lots of people...yuck! And for the restaurant, it helps to limit food waste. Over the next 90 minutes (time limit for the AYCE brunch), we sampled so many items, but some of the standouts were: * Crystal Shrimp Dumpling (har gow) - wrapper wasn't too thick, and the shrimp filling was plentiful and had excellent flavor * Steamed pork and shrimp shu mai - very good version of a dim sum staple. * Beef Chow Fun - noodles could've had more "wok hei" flavor, but beef was tender and not too salty. * Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) - good amount of seasoned soup inside the wrapper with tasty pork filling * Salt and pepper shrimp - peeled shrimp was flash fried, but not rubbery. It was topped with a salty peppery crunchy topping. We had several rounds of this dish. * Black Sesame egg yolk bao - creamy and not too sweet eggy filling, inside the soft black sesame bao I will detract one star for the service, however. Im my estimation, the place is understaffed for the volume of customers. Water and tea was a bit slow to arrive (after 8 min of sitting down) and it was challening to flag down our server to order more items; hence the reason it's recommended to get multiple dishes at one time. But at the end of the meal, everyone was quite pleased and satisfied, most importantly, mom and dad enjoyed the experience. When the check arrived, our party of 10 had ordered 40 items. With tax and tip, the total came out to a tad under $400. Tbh, for the quality and variety of food, $40/person is a good deal. I can definitely envision Peter Chang's weekend bottomless brunch being a monthly occurrence for me.

    After the previous bad experience, we stopped by again earlier today evening for a quick dinner and came out with a much better experience. I would give the food a B+ and the service an A- today. The parking is still hard to find given the other restaurants nearby and also the Indian store which gets a lot of In-N-Out traffic so we had to park in the parking garage behind the restaurant. We will write more when we explore more later this year.

    This is a very, very tasty Chinese restaurant. The food selection is excellent, and the tapas-style plates are the way to go--smaller portions, better variety, and easier on the wallet than committing to one big dish. That said, the larger plates are totally worth it if there's something you really, really love. Everything we tried was super delicious--from the Mongolian Beef to the Spicy Dry-Fried Bamboo Fish to the Signature Pork Soup Dumplings. Honestly, this was just really good food, start to finish. The AYCE Brunch ($32 per person) is absolutely the move, especially if you're dining with friends and want to sample a little of everything. The hostess was great too--friendly and super helpful in explaining how everything worked. I would have taken more pictures, but... I got excited and started eating

    This Peter Chang location is in a developed area in Herndon, offering AYCE brunch/dim sum. We usually stick with the a la carte items, such as: +the Amish Chicken Wonton Soup - good broth; chicken wontons could be better, as the filling is a bit dense and didn't have much flavor to it +the Pork XLBs - comes with 3 pieces; these were stated to be just 'okay' and would not be ordered again +the Cumin Spicy Diced Lamb; I found the flavors to be too overpowering; the hubs enjoys this dish +the Half Signature Peking Duck - well-prepared, and the staff are able to give you generous portions of the cucumbers and the scallions; the wraps are nice and thin +the Combo Fried Rice - with chicken, beef, and shrimp; good flavor and great with an addition of chili oil and soy sauce Service is fine - could check in with the tables for drink refills, offering of extra napkins, and getting the check. It's suggested to make online reservations, as the place does fill up pretty quickly, especially on the weekends. Ample parking in the shared lot. +Half Signature Peking Duck +Combo Fried Rice +okay service +online reservations accepted +parking available

    Excellent! This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the Herndon, Reston, and Sterling so say the least. The restaurant looks great and is spacious; the food and vegetarian options are delicious, not to mention the price for them well worth it. Service is usually good when I come here but today service from Tanya S was superb. She was kind, thoughtful, and paid attention to details. She brought me a bowl for my delicious Mapo Tofu (when I didn't even ask) so that, as she said "didn't want your suit jacket to catch any splatter". How considerate! Small gestures like this speak to a person's awareness and character. I liked this restaurant before, but seeing how they've actively been taking feedback to make small changes and bringing people like Tanya on board... 5 stars! Great job.

    In a newer area in Herndon just off sunrise valley, came for dinner with a large group and ordered from the small plates and dim sum. Everything we ordered was delicious and well flavored. (Didn't get pics bc everyone was starving). Saw that they do a Sunday buffet brunch and will definitely have to come back!

    The portion size was incredibly small. We ordered the whole duck expecting it to serve 2-3 people, but it arrived as a small plate of sliced duck that could comfortably feed only about 1-1.5 people. Considering the duck costs around $80, the portion felt very disappointing. Customers shouldn't feel like they are paying a premium price for such a small serving. We have ordered whole duck many times at Hong Kong Restaurant, where they typically provide two large containers of duck meat for even less than this price, which easily feeds 2-3 people. Compared to that, the portion here was extremely small. It honestly didn't look like the amount you would expect from a whole duck, which made the experience even more disappointing. Other dishes portion are also so small. :(

    AYCE Dim Sum

    I went here with a friend on Sunday for some AYCE Dim Sum, and was surprised at how good everything tasted. Went right at opening (11AM) and there was a decent amount of people, but didn't have to wait for a table. The Food: The food was fantastic. All the dim sum dishes we had were cooked perfectly. Full of flavor and came out pretty fast. The highlight of the day was definitely the Pork and Shrimp Shumai. Honestly one of the most tender Shumai's I've had so far in this area. Some honorable mentions: Crystal shrimp dumping, soup dumplings, Taiwanese popcorn shrimp and hot chili oil wontons! The Atmosphere: The restaurant is decorated very nicely. Modern, great colors and just well spaced out. Also, just very clean. The Service: Service was good for how busy the place was. For a Sunday morning that serves AYCE Dim Sum, it's a little expected for service to be a little slower than usual. But no complaints at all. Overall, a 5/5! Would highly recommend coming here for dim sum or even just trying their other entrees. I'll be frequenting this place a a lot more.

    So who was going to tell me that dim sum is the best thing ever? Forget classic American brunch, unlimited Chinese food is the way to go! My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday morning and we are already dreaming of going back. Let me tell you why. First off, the service here was UNMATCHED. Our server was so attentive, respectful, and kind - this took our experience from great to phenomenal. We've been to Michelin-level restaurants that could take notes on the quality and speed of the service at Peter Chang. Even when every table was full, the waiters and chefs did a great job of cooking and delivering dishes in a fast and efficient way. Second, the FOOD. I think AYCE restaurants (especially chains) often get the reputation of poor ingredient quality, but this brunch deal is the opposite of that belief. The quality and flavors here were out of this world. I kept waiting for something to be not as good as the other dishes, but they just kept getting better! And of course, the ambiance. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and very clean, with beautiful art on the walls and pleasant music playing. Just looked at my photos from the restaurant, and I am already salivating. So excited to be back and try the other locations in the area!!

    We went before the dinner rush on Friday night around 5 pm because we were worried there might be a wait if we hadn't made reservations beforehand. It wasn't very busy yet so we were seated right away. Our server was very attentive and gave us suggestions when we weren't quite sure what to pick out. My husband likes spicy food so we picked a few dishes that were spicy. I wasn't a huge fan of the duck spring roll but that might have partially been my fault because I'm used to the Vietnamese rice paper spring rolls that aren't fried. Other than that everything else was pretty tasty! Overall since we went with less popular menu items it felt like a more unique experience compared to our previous visit although it is still definitely fun to get the crowd pleasing bubble scallion pancake and munch on popcorn chicken it's nice to know we have the option of trying other tasty Chinese food with a more upscale ambiance than Yu Noodles for example. Of course there is a correspondingly higher price point but once in a while I like to see a more elevated take on the classics like how mint and lime in their iced jasmine tea drink made it extra refreshing. Lastly, I like parking in the overflow lot instead of squeezing in the narrow row of parking before the entrance that always seems busy.

    Dinner at Peter Chang

    Peter Chang Herndon has quickly established itself as one of the standout Chinese restaurants in the Herndon-Reston area, specializing in authentic Sichuan cuisine, dim sum, and shareable small plates. On June 23, 2026, our party of nine enjoyed a variety of dishes, including cumin lamb, crispy salt-and-pepper shrimp, Mongolian beef, fish curry, and fries, all served family-style. The flavors were bold, authentic, and well-balanced, with the Sichuan dishes particularly shining through their fragrant chilies and signature Sichuan peppercorns. The restaurant is modern, spacious, and more upscale than a typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Its clean, contemporary décor makes it well-suited for family dinners, business meals, and larger gatherings. Service was friendly and efficient, with prompt seating and dishes arriving quickly after ordering. While prices are somewhat higher than those of many local Chinese restaurants, the quality of the ingredients, generous portions, and distinctive menu justify the premium. Peter Chang Herndon succeeds where it matters most--the food. For anyone in Northern Virginia seeking authentic Chinese cuisine, it ranks among the strongest dining options in the Herndon-Reston area. Zafar Iqbal, PhD

    Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup
    Chuq Y.

    Went here for a lunch with some coworkers. The place looks fancy and probably gets a good happy hour and dinner crowd. I've heard great things about it from a number of people and I'm glad I finally got to try it. I understand now why people speak highly about it. We had a table for 10 and surprisingly we all fit at a bigger round table. The food came out pretty quickly and it was great! I ordered the lunch special Szechuan beef noodle soup (spicy) and it was awesome. It was a little heavy on one spice that I've never know the name of, but I finished it and I was satisfied. I should probably find out the name of it. All of the others in the group had great looking good but we didn't share. One of my coworkers got the egg rolls and said that she "burned the s**t" out of her mouth, so I guess it was pretty hot. I'd definitely come back here as they have an extensive menu including a dim sum menu that I'd like to try to get through. They made a good impression and I'm happy to give them 5 stars!

    TLDR: Very solid Chinese food but can be a little pricey. The small plates are good and so is the hibiscus tea. My wife and I have been here many times and we typically like everything we get. On this most recent trip we tried the fried rockfish and it was amazing. It was crispy and a little spicy but not dry on the inside. We always get the combo fried rice since it comes with chicken, beef and shrimp. We also usually get the Peking duck. It's pretty good but not as good as the Peking duck restaurant in Springfield. But it beats having to drive all the way out there. They offer larger plates and smaller shareable plates. I think it's best to do some shareable plates and maybe one bigger plate. The hibiscus tea is a personal favorite for my wife and I. We share the teapot as it's meant for 2 people. It is the most fresh tea you're probably going to get from a restaurant. They actually put the flowers and fruits in the water and let it steep. By the time you get to the bottom of the tea pot, it is so flavorful and delicious. The service here is usually good and fairly fast. The ambiance is fairly casual but does have some theming to make it feel like it has some soul.

For example, the Panfried Pork Bun used to be my favorite item here but they've changed the recipe significantly. The pork filling used to be a lot larger and juicier...but now when you break open the bun, the filling is so small that half of the bun doesn't even have any meat. 80% of the bun is just dough and it's not fried well and quite greasy. Everything overall was way too greasy, including the crueller and the dry noodles were swimming in oil. I did like the texture of the noodles, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the oiliness of the broth it was sitting in. It's really sad to see this place fall short since it opened a couple years ago. I'm hoping that they can improve their quality of food as it's really gone downhill since opening.

We ultimately enjoyed our meal and will likely try it again the next time we need a change of pace from our go-to spot. The menu possesses a vast array of rolls, the majority of which hover between $15-18. Seeing the prices of the rolls and not knowing what to expect, we ended up ordering six, which ended up as too much food for the two of us. We found the rolls all well constructed and with generous quantities of the fish. The rice itself was passable. The sliced fish quality was decent, and we found the salmon and tuna particularly fresh. The "spicy" fish in the rolls left something to be desired in both the degree of spice/seasoning as well as freshness. The rolls all could have used a bit more saucing, but we enjoyed them nonetheless. The prices here are very reasonable, especially if you order online which yields a 10% discount. My order was prepared more or less on time. Overall, we liked what we sampled and will return in the near future to sample more rolls. Kumo does not quite supplant our usual sushi spot, but it's a welcome addition to a takeout rotation and worth a shot for roll lovers.

The Udon soup also tastes hearty and healing. Ordered a few different rolls here, all great quality.

    Yaki Udon. Flavor was spot on, just a touch too oily. That small aspect didn't give me any hesitation to eat my daughter's leftovers.

    Friday night at Hibachi Grill & Buffet in Chantilly should be busy, but this place was dead--just…read moretwo other tables when we walked in at seven. Hostess barely looked happy to see us, and if that wasn't a sign, the food sealed it. Sushi was crusty, dried out, weirdly gray - honestly, you'd expect fresher from a gas station shelf. Chef at the sushi station was glued to his phone, blasting what sounded like a personal playlist so loud you could catch the rhythm from across the buffet. Wasabi was chalky and ginger looked days old. Soy sauce? Evaporating. Buffet choices were super slim, mainly shrimp. Beef and chicken stir fry didn't look worth the plate space. Two kinds of fried wings in total, which didn't help. Another staff had their phone volume maxed out, so the noise never stopped. Salad bar was a sad scene; brown edges and limp leaves, with dressings crusted over like they'd been sitting since breakfast. Forget the dessert section and fruit; nothing looked tempting. Soup looked so neglected, you'd swear it belonged in a donation bin. Ice cream was worse; just tough lemon and a chocolate that didn't pass the smell test. Only highlight? The hibachi chef hustled to make shrimp, and eggs feel freshly cooked, even if the supplies were running dry. The green tea was decent. But with sticky walls and greasy windows, it's hard not to feel like the place quit on cleanliness a while ago. At least our server has a smile. Takeaway: Skip this spot, unless you're real desperate for hibachi shrimp and don't mind a rundown vibe. This one's for folks who think food court sushi is gourmet.

While the portion sizes are generous, the taste is not exceptional, and some dishes are served cold or lukewarm despite the presence of a food warmer underneath. The ambiance is spacious and clean.

    I used to live in the neighborhood and visited King's Buffet frequently and the food was very good,…read moreI used to give it 4 stars. I moved and each of the last 3 times I visited that rating has lost a star. My favorite dishes were Butter Shrimp and Jalapeño Chicken but with each visit one of those dishes disappeared with no comparable replacement. I stopped by yesterday for take out and there was no Shrimp other than a tail on frozen option and Seafood Mix with tiny Shrimp and Imitation Crab. I made due with fish, beef dishes and 2 chicken dishes on Lo Mein and Angel Hair When I got home and bit into the beef, it was so bad I spit it out. The other dishes were basic but edible and I decided that King's food quality has fallen so low I'm not going back again, its a waste of money.

    We came to this buffet for nostalgia purposes and the interior really felt like nothing had changed…read morein the last 15 years. The service was fine and they took our plates away promptly. The food is your classic Chinese buffet fare. Nothing was really that good but there was a lot that was bad. I ended up just eating the lo mein and general Tso's chicken. The general tsos chicken was extremely sweet and not spicy at all but not terrible. The salt and pepper shrimp was also decent. We went if Fourth of July and unfortunately had to pay premium price for lunch. They had lobster available but it was mushy and basically inedible. Skip the sushi. It's just different variations of California rolls with different colored sauces on them. I often find myself at buffets to relive memories of my childhood, but I think I done doing that now. $21 for a "special" lunch buffet is crazy

Sat at the out door patio bar, the bartender was really good. They were very fast and very knowledgeable about the products they serve. I will definitely be back.

This spot came…read moreup as "nearby" during a Yelp search (it is in a bit of an odd spot in what looked like a business complex. There there is an Olive Garden nearby so it isn't out by itself, even if it feels like it. The weather was beautiful, so we grabbed a high top in the bar area, overlooking a nice little pond behind the restaurant. The service in the bar was surprisingly good, despite the bar itself being pretty crowded and nearly every table around it being populated. The food was served quickly and they allowed us to customize to our liking (TIP: pay the nominal upcharge to replace your existing side dish to Brussels sprouts with bacon and spiced pecans! Or get it as a side to share) I had the Hickory Grilled Hanger Steak with mashed potatoes and a field greens salad, except no potatoes. The salad was amazing (it has dates in it for a sweetness to balance the sour of the dressing) and the medium rare steak was phenomenal. We each had a glass of beer -- the Pale Face Summer Wheat on draft. It is a classic German Hefeweizen and described as "malty with banana and clove flavors." I tested the banana on my first sip. It was a solid choice. The next day, we worked a 15 hour day without stopping to eat. By the time we finished, we were so tired that we agreed to return. I ordered the same steak and my coworker followed my recommendation. He agreed that this is the steak to order. (even if he ordered his more well done than mine). For the second visit, we ordered the bread pudding for dessert instead of beer with dinner. I suggest splitting the dessert. Don't get me wrong, it was fantastic, but was definitely shareable after a full steak meal.
