    the outside of the restaurant
    Neal E.

    Had dinner here this evening. It's a fairly small Chinese place located in Warrenton, VA. There are six dine-in tables in the place. I ordered a pint of Hot and Sour soup and Kung Pao Chicken to eat in, and a 12 oz. can of Diet Coke. There was a fairly steady stream of folks coming in to place orders to go - or to pick up phone orders. My soup came up first and was brought out to me - then a bit later my Kung Pao. The Hot and Sour soup was about the most unremarkable version of this soup I can ever remember having. And when the Kung Pao was brought out - it was a fairly large amount of food - BUT - it was like some sort of generic spicy Chinese stir-fry - it's flavor little resembled any good Kung Pao. There were yellow-ish green cubes of a vegetable in the dish that I could not readily identify - I think it was a squash of some sort, and there were also baby corns in the dish. The food itself was not bad, or rotten, or anything like that. It just did not taste like anything resembling Kung Pao. I would be curious to hear what experiences other folks have had here.

    Burnt! Also not quantity stated.

    So, I have given this restaurant a chance for the first time. I would not order from here again. First my shrimp toast was burnt. The menu had a seven in parentheses besides shrimp toast, and I received four. There are also no condiments included in the order or plasticware. It was delivered to me in an open cardboard box. I called to complain about the shrimp toast and the person on the phone offered no resolution whatsoever and just said he would pass the message along, then said bye. The rest of the food was okay. I still wouldn't bother ordering here again.

    Good food. We probably stop by once a month. A great place to go when we just don't have time or the ambition to cook.

    I loathe celery, water chestnuts, they try to accommodate this and replace with other ingredients.

The portions are incredibly generous, and every dish we tried was delicious. The drunken noodles were packed with flavor, the fried rice was perfectly cooked, the Tso's chicken was excellent, and the steamed fish was fresh and beautifully prepared. The highlight of the meal was the spectacular tableside Flambé dessert--it was both delicious and a fun experience. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The owners were also warm and welcoming, adding to the wonderful dining experience. And don't skip the beer--it was fantastic! Great food, generous portions, outstanding hospitality, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back.

    I saw this place named on some guy's list of best restaurants in NOVA. We only ordered 4 dishes so…read moreI can't speak for the rest of the menu. 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.
