The best Chinese food I've had in Richmond. The hand pulled noodles are super yummy. We ordered the hot chili oil noodle and the cumin lamb stir fry noodle. I would order both again. The scallion pancakes and soup dumplings were also fantastic, as was the pork belly and king oyster mushroom dish. The lamb skewers had more of a kick than we expected but we still enjoyed them. The service was fast and friendly. I couldn't believe how fast the food came out. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Everything was delicious. read more

WOW Qin Dynasty blew us away - my husband I recently moved back from Philadelphia and were a little sad to be leaving our favorite Chinese food spots in the city - but dare I say Qin Dynasty was in some ways better than all of them?! Came for dinner on a Friday evening and was thrilled to find plently of vegetarian / vegan options (you just have to let your server know) - noodles, stir fries, apps, they even said they'd be able to make a Kung Pao Tofu! We shared the Hot Chili Oil Noodles (hand-pulled), Tofu Dry Pot, veggie dumplings, and scallion pancakes. First off the portions are quite large for the price - the dry pot was a heaping wok full of cauliflower, potato, veggies and tofu served with white rice, not too spicy but absolutely delicious. The scallion pancakes were super flaky, crispy, and chewy, and the dumplings were clearly handmade and filled until they looked like they might pop. However, our fave of the night were the noodles - long, chewy, spicy noodles with veggies and the perfect amount of heat. I could have eaten a giant bowl of just these, they were that good. Our server also brought us kimchi to try (delicious, and vegetarian made without fish sauce!). The ambiance was lovely, big space with nice decor (very clean) and our server was really friendly. We're already planning our next visit with friends and will be telling everyone we know about Qin Dynasty. read more

Qin Dynasty kitchen - Hot Chili Oil Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We have some good Chinese restaurants in Richmond but mostly dim sum or SiChuan Food. This Chinese restaurant offers traditional western style Chinese food - what a pleasant experience! I loved the chili oil noodle with shredded pork. The noodle must be made fresh which had a very unique texture. The skewer is a must try as well. It'd be awesome if they could consider to offer beer going forward. read more

A delicious spot for Sichuan cuisine as well as hand-pulled noodles and other regional dishes. In line with the Sichuan cuisine style, many of their dishes do have a spice kick to them - the spiciest of what we tried being the boiled fish which was super flavorful and tender! The black pepper beef was also tender, rich in flavor and paired perfectly with the white rice. The beef skewers were slightly chewy for my taste but also packed with flavor. The hot chili oil noodles were thick, chewy and so satisfying to eat. The pan-fried pork buns were disappointing and the small amount of filling also missed the mark in terms of flavor compared to the other dishes so would skip next time. Service was okay in terms of speed and the restaurant itself is quite spacious which is great. They do accept online to-go orders which may also be a solid option. read more

The food was great! I came in with my friends before shopping at Lotte and we were seated immediately. The server brought us water and then gave us time to pick what we wanted. We didn't have to wait a long time for her to come back to place our orders even though they were busy. The food came out quickly and was very fresh. The portions were generous. It was amazing!! Will definitely be back. read more

A delicious lunch. We started with dumplings, which were so attractive and came with a tasty dipping sauce. My companion had the shrimp stir-fry, which he found rather mild compared to his requested "spicy" but he was given some sauce to take home with his leftovers so that will be a wonderful takeaway dinner. I got the cumin lamb stir fry, which was plenty hot for me. Generous portion! read more

Stopped by for lunch in this newer place in a refurbished strip center. Decor was tasteful and space was ample. Menu offers many6 items of a more authentic style, compared to the "Americanized" versions so often seen. Today we were in a lighter mood, so we split a Mapo Tofu and soup dumplings. While the tofu was okay, I think they are already "dumbing it down" for the area, but after adding chili oil and crisps, it had some more flavor. A touch more Schezwan peppercorns would be nice also. The soup dumplings were probably the best I've had since Din Tai Fun; skin not too thick, but filled with succulent broth and savory filling. This alone is worth coming back for! Service was prompt and friendly, and owner/manager greeted us on the way out to make us feel appreciated. read more

Hands down the best Chinese restaurant we have tried since moving to Richmond. Inside is very clean and the food was very delicious! Must get their dumplings! In my opinion, their dumplings are better than Din Tai Fung. Absolutely will come back for more food in near future. read more

New place for us as at the last moment we decided to switch from our usual to this delightful place. Our server asked us where we wanted to sit so we chose a booth. We were able to inquire from the server, named Dillon, which he preferred and he recommended the mapa tofu to share. We got soup dumplings which actually contained soup, wow! They were delicious and it has been a long moment since we enjoyed any. Clean place with many Asian customers; they offer quite a variety of dishes. Dumplings and hand pulled noodles as well other authentic Asian meals. The mapa tofu needed some crispy garlic sauce so that's why this restaurant is receiving 4 stars. We will return to this very clean restaurant! read more

When we left around seven, there was a lot of people waiting to get in. It is definitely the one the best dumpling places in Richmond and we really enjoyed the noodles. Service was quite prompt. Do not go there expecting soup go to their cousins Mr. noodle. The only weird thing was they do not have tea yet I kinda expected at least hot tea and I was hoping for bubble tea check out these photos. We especially like the stirfry with pork belly and mushroom. We really like the meat on the stick which we believe they call Chinese barbecue. We wish we had more people with us so we could've tried more dishes, but we did go overboard a little bit. read more

Hand pulled noodles were great. Such a simple dish, but was flavorful without being spicy. Great service or you can place your order with QR code at the table. The waiter suggested I try this dish. (I couldn't make up my mind.) This was a great choice. The veggies had a nice little crunch. The fish was so soft and tender that it just melted away in my mouth. read more

Had a late lunch in this still-newish restaurant. What a great experience! We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and the service was attentive and helpful the whole time we were there. I loved that the place was clean, bright, and modern looking, and the tables and booths were comfortable. The noise level was minimal, and conversation was easily heard. The food was beyond delicious. They were out of the scallion pancake, so next time we'll get there earlier! We knew we were over ordering, but everything looked so good we threw caution to the wind. We ordered soup dumplings, beef noodles, pork and shrimp dumplings, and Szechuan spicy dumplings in chili oil. Everything arrived as it was ready, as quickly as we could want. The soup dumplings had delicious broth inside, and the pork filling was perfect. The shrimp and pork dumplings had a lovely texture, with actual pieces of shrimp, and wrappers that were just the right thickness. The spicy dumplings were spicy and delicious too, but the star of the meal was the beef noodles, which were savory and chewy. I could eat them every day. Prices were right for the generous portions. If you can come with a larger group, the booths would seat six comfortably, and you could try even more dishes! But if you go alone, you don't have to share. Either way you win. read more

Beautifully renovated space in Lotte shopping center. It's hard to tell from the sidewalk if it's open but once you find the door, it's spacious and clean. Qin Dynasty was not disappointing in any area. Service was fast and friendly from the doppelgänger wait staff.

The pan fried pork dumplings were fabulous. Just like they had been made in grandmother's kitchen. Fresh, hot, and homemade. It came out with one of the entrees, which was a shame, but the waiter said the pan fried dumplings take awhile. The scallion pancake was good and chewy. Everyone enjoyed this. The fried fish hot pot was huge! Enough for 3 people probably. Delicious vegetables, especially the cauliflower. The problem was the fish was no longer crispy when it came to the table. So much was piled on the fish, it just became too soft. Still good, but not crispy as you would want. The black pepper beef and king mushroom dish was good. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful. The king trumpets were the downfall. Too tough and chewy. These were simply not cooked well. They require more time to become browned and tender. May be better to cut these into coins as instead of slices. Chili oil noodles were wonderful. read more

It was amazing. Really. Ambiance was minimum but understood. Service was amazing and fast clear communication and the food was good honey.

The restaurant is so pretty on the inside. Such a nice place, nice tables, decorations, big tables, etc. Service was wonderful. Everyone was so nice and friendly! They also didn't rush you or anything and food came out at a great pace. Speaking of the food- everything was amazing!! So fresh and really good portion sizes. Also, I am very visibly pregnant haha and the man at the front gave me a gift for the baby before I left, which was so very thoughtful!! Will absolutely be returning again and highly recommend! read more

My wife and I were excited about ordering from this place as it is close to Lotte and claims to be an authentic Chinese restaurant. What a disappointment! We had to throw the squid skewers in the trash because they tasted disgusting and smelled really bad. My daughter who loves squid almost threw up on the dining table. The beef in the skewers were so tiny (almost the size of raisins) and tasted like overcooked lamb. it was topped by a clove of garlic that tasted like it came straight from a can. The only saving grace was the pork belly with king mushroom. Even the that was not something to call home about. Oh well, the ambience was very nice. read more
