My son has ate here for years and loved it until last night he got food poisoning from there. No need to call and tell them because you can't understand a word they say and they can't understand English. He said he would not ever eat there again. read more

For this area, the food tastes great! I highly recommend this place. We got 3 different things and all tasted great. read more

Really love eating from this restaurant. Their food is fixed fresh and is delicious. I like almost all of their servings. They give a good portion for what you pay for. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Good food, familiar menu seen at most of these Chinese restaurants. Hard to understand the girl on the phone. Only Chinese restaurant in town read more

The new chef's special Indian chicken is the best food I have ever eaten. I will order it again next time.

Excellent customer service Food was off the charts the best Chinese food I've had in a while read more

A staple to Richlands. I've tried so many things on the menu and I've never been disappointed. Bourbon chicken is SO GOOD and I feel like it's a hidden gem. You'd never expect to see a Philly steak and cheese egg roll on the menu, order it. It's so surprisingly good. BBQ spare ribs are phenomenal. Wontons and Dumplings are made in house. One of my favorite places for sure. read more

Great food, service is quick, has a great atmosphere. Family friendly! Definitely recommend

I love it it's great food great people and just a overall great environment to be around

My wife and recently stopped in at this restaurant the food was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful with our meals and drinks. The waitress was nice and helpful. We will be back when we come through the area read more

Focus on the food and you will see why this is one of the best lunch options in this region. Lunch special has 57 options and at $5.25 you couldn't get a burger with fries. Take out is ready in a reasonable time with a call ahead option. They are 100% Chinese speaking in the kitchen and you can see the men cooks working up a storm! Take a paper menu and seat yourself. The menu on the table means that you haven't ordered. Go get your drink and silverware. When done you have to go to register and tell them what you had then pay... read more

Red Flower Chinese Restaurant - a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Richlands, Virginia

Good fresh food, prepared when ordered. No issues, would certainly buy again. Don't let the location fool you. read more

I have eaten Chinese food all over the US as well as a few other countries... Redflower is truly in a class of their own. Every dish is prepared fresh, to order. The flavors are amazing. read more

I can't help but review this place in comparison to my memories of it. My friend and I used to go here every weekend when we were in high school. We would each get a large order of General Tso's chicken and take half of it home. I always intended to eat it later, but then my mom discovered it and I just wound up getting two orders. That stuff was amazing. Over 10 years later, it's not fair to expect that the place is the same, and it isn't. The new dining room is a lot bigger, for one, and they're a lot busier. And I'm vegetarian now, but luckily, good old Red Flower didn't let me down. Their "diet special" menu section appears mostly vegetarian, so I had the bean curd and broccoli, which was good but could have used more sauce. I guess the "diet" part is that you just get a drizzle of sauce on it, but the tofu (bean curd) was nice and crispy, and I always enjoy broccoli. We also had the sweet cheese wontons, which I didn't like so much. They were just too sweet, and I prefer a savory cream cheese wonton. And the bags of wonton strips tasted like bagged wonton strips; they were stale and inedible. I'd stay away from those. My husband got the General Tso's chicken, because I told him he should. He didn't like it as much. It didn't look like the same dish I used to get, and when I tried a little bit of the sauce, it didn't taste the same either. Oh well. There are a lot of other things on the menu, but that's a bit disappointing. Red Flower is very good for the area, and it's one of the extremely few places there that will feed me a substantive meatless meal. It doesn't hold up to comparison with other Chinese restaurants I've tried outside the area, but then again, there isn't a lot of other Chinese food around. Am I a little biased in favor of this place? Absolutely, but if you're in Richlands looking for a decent (not fast food) meal at a decent price, I would definitely recommend it. read more

See all

Their food was excellent! I would recommend this place as the best Chinese Restaurant takeout in the town of Richlands.

Tried for the first time last week. The wonton soup was excellent, with wontons filling the quart container to the top. Fried dumplings were plump and delicious. Roast pork fried rice had plenty of pork and onions but could have used a few more vegetables. Very pleased with these choices. Also had P17 Hot and Spicy Chicken & Shrimp. It was a large portion with plenty of chicken and shrimp. Despite ordering it extra spicy, and the dish having "spicy" in its name, it was really quite bland and definitely not spicy. I won't order it again and was quite disappointed with this choice. My other issue is that their online menus have old pricing and the final total was considerably more than the online pricing. Despite this, I'll definitely go back. read more

I am only giving this disgusting pigsty one star because I can't give it anything lower. The food is absolutely nasty and the place is filthy. I don't see how they possibly pass the health inspections. I've eaten there five times because I love Chinese food and it is the only Chinese restaurant near where I live and work. I tried a different menu item each time and each item was equally disgusting. I have been to many Chinese restaurants throughout the United States and I know what good Chinese food is supposed to taste like. This place is far from being even minimally acceptable. Please don't waste your money and endanger your health by going to this horrible establishment. It is TRULY DISGUSTING!!! read more

If youbare from out of town and use to eating your towns version of Chinese american food then by all means jog on by. Your opinion is jaded because it doesnt taste like "your" idea of chinese food. Ive eaten this style of food all across this country. Is it the best? No. Is it the worst? By no means.its way better than buffet style. Its cheap so dont expect a 20 dollar plate of food. Its a bargain and good eating. read more

There are uncountable Chinese restaurants in this country and I'm sure everyone has their favorite. Red Flower is mine, and I have sampled endless numbers of these places. So, this is in my hometown, I grew up with it, and maybe I'm biased. Maybe I have eaten there so many times that when we call and place our order they know our phone number by heart, and often remind us of any items in our standard order that we've forgotten to mention. When I moved to New York City after college, they would mournfully ask my mother why I hadn't been around lately. Truth be told, I was heartbroken too. And now, maybe some of those "real" food review website folks will even cringe that I would dare offer a Chinese take-out joint a 4 star rating while simultaneously tearing down much finer establishments. But, my opinion is that 1.) I review a place relative to my own expectations of it and 2.) if you don't like that you can kiss my General Tso, if you get my drift. Speaking of General Tso's Chicken, theirs is perfect. The sauce is perfectly perfect, the crispiness is crispily perfect and you have no doubt at any time that you are indeed eating good pieces of chicken. They also are masters at cooking the vegetables in their dishes, which may seem like a small point, but it really makes a big difference. I long for the day when I cook a piece of broccoli as well as they do. There are even a few special treats on their menu like "Coconut Shrimp" which is fried shrimp in a sweet coconut white sauce and "Sweet Cheese Wontons" which are a sort of dessert fried wonton. Chances are, you won't end up in the tiny town of Richlands anytime soon, but if you do and you just have that inner need for Chinese food, Red Flower is the reigning champion. read more

This is the best Chinese food you can get in the area, guaranteed. This is my favorite place to go for Chinese food and I've had a lot on the menu, you can't go wrong. read more

Must say this place has great Gen Tso's chicken! Also tried the fried wontons and beef w/veggie dish, all were very tasty. So if you are passing thru Richlands, do take a minute to stop. read more

My friend and I recently walked into the Red Flower restaurant, and we were appalled at how filthy the place was. Everything was dirty. There were boxes piled in disarray along one wall, the floor was sticky and covered in built-up grime, the service area had old drink spills that had soured and smelled horribly and there were flies literally everywhere. I went to the bathroom, and I would not even use it. Needless to say, we walked out without having anything to eat. We will never go back. I do not like giving such a bad review, but this experience made it necessary to warn others about this restaurant. Do NOT go there! Patricia Lindsey read more

Best Chinese food in the country if not the world. Such a local must have. I have eaten a lot of Chinese food in many various places throughout the country. But nothing compares to the hometown quality that is Red Flower. I would put Red Flower on par with any fine dining Chinese restaurant and it would surprise me to see it lose out. Yes Red Flower is THAT good. read more

I've been coming here for a while now. Definitely the best American Chinese cuisine within the 2 hour drive radius. Good portion for the price. Focus is being on food and service. Place could use upgrade. read more

This is my favorite place for Chinese food. The egg rolls and crab Rangoon are great. I love their chicken mai fun. The egg drop soup is good. Hubs loves their dragon and Phoenix (general Tao and hot and spicy shrimp) chicken hunan, mixed vegetables and veggie lo mein round out our favorites. Honestly I don't think I've tried anything from there I didn't think was good. read more

So maybe I'm spoiled having just moved back here from Richmond and knowing what Chinese food is supposed to look and taste like. This place is a dive at best. It was recommended to me by a few people but apparently they have no clue either. The food was bland and covered in a thick sauce that tasted like sugar. Please help, someone open a decent restaurant in this town!!!! read more

We love this restaurant. Before COVID-19 it was one of our favorite places to eat. I held a fun little get together with friends there and the staff were wonderful. We were so excited when they reopened with precautions against the spread of COVID-19. I recommend their service to anyone. read more

Best Chinese ever!!! This is t favorite Chinese restaurant it's so good you get great proportions for your price and it's always fast service. The food is AMAZING read more

Cheap Chinese food, and big portions

Absolutely amazing Chinese food! I have had several dishes from the menu and each one is PERFECT!!! It is not a Buffett style restaurant but it is phenomenal! read more

For someone who used to not like Chinese food, this place has changed that for me. Some of the best sweet and sour chicken and yellow fried rice ever. I will go ahead and warn you that it has caused me to get sick a couple of times, but eh. read more

Good place. Not too many non-fast food restaurants around the area, so definitely that helps their cause. Food is fresh, hot, and good portions. Ate here twice so far while working in the area. Not fancy, drinks & silverware seem to be self-serve, only 1 restroom-----but....the food is good!!!! (And cheap!!!!) read more

I've been eating at Red Flower since I was 14. As far as strip mall chinese goes, it's really as good as any I've eaten at in larger cities. I'm a huge fan of the steamed dumplings. There are several buffet restaurants around, but Red Flower isso much better. read more

The food is no different than any other run of the mill Chinese buffet. The service is absolutely horrible. The staff is rude and inattentive. The only reason that they are still open is because they are cheap. read more

this place is always clean in my experience of going there since i was a little kid. the food is always hot, they rarely get an order wrong, which everyone makes mistakes. i highly recommend going here read more

HORRIBLE! WORST FOOD! UGH DISGUSTING! But I have to give it a 5 stars because I saw this one hot girl there and we got married and now we have 6 kids and they're really old and they go to school and I like it really much because the food sucks! Anyways I hope you all eat here because it was pretty dapper and fun to hang out over there and eat with all my homies and friends and stuff! Ok read more

I love to eat here. But is the best Chinese I have ever had. No... They are super nice and inexpensive and considering the other options around town they are great.. They aren't gonna win any gold stars but they won't turn you off Chinese food either.. read more

Americanized sweet Chinese food. Good in its own way. I sometimes wish that I could get a real general Tsos chicken, but otherwise, its great. read more
