Young Chow Cafe is a solid American-Chinese style restaurant. Their Hot n' Sour Soup is really good - I always order a large - so I can have as second bowl later... I also really like their Hunan Chicken dish! Damn tasty! I typically get my food to go. But there is ample seating to eat in. Service is always good. Paid with Apple Pay. #YoungChowCafe read more

Another delicious meal here with fabulous service. Restaurant is always clean and inviting! Staff, which is family, is always so nice and pleasant from the initial greeting to checking on us during our meal. And the food was absolutely wonderful- freshly made, great sauces, and vegetables that were skillfully prepared. And they have the best fried rice dishes! read more

It's been a few years and thought I'd try this place again...pork chow mein was good, Mongolian beef wasn't that good and had way too many onions, again. I've had Mongolian beef in several area restaurants, this place has A LOT more onions/less meat than any other restaurant, not sure if I want to pay $15 for some meat and A LOT of onions...probably not!!! read more

Young Chow Cafe - Small fatty, dry, tasteless ribs - Thai Near Me - Haymarket, Virginia

I often forget about this restaurant, due to the slightly hidden location. It is an easy place to grab a quick lunch combo meal, dining in, at a reasonable cost. The hot sour soup was a bit bland, but the pork with vegetables I had was tender, not stringy, and had a pleasant sauce that did not over-power the pork flavor. a well-rounded menu with traditional American style Chinese dishes read more

Ordering was easy with payment only required upon pickup. Menu has a good selection but not many options for the picky child eater. Food was ready on time and plenty of sauces were provided during checkout. Food quality was as expected. Flavor was standard. Nothing stood out as above average (two entrees and an appetizer evaluated) in regards to flavor. Good proportion size which was above expectations. read more

Young Chow Cafe - Kung Pao Chicken - Thai Near Me - Haymarket, Virginia

Been eating here since I was a kid, and the service and food has always been incredible. Best place around.

Chicken broccoli pieces were of varying sizes.. some were thin some were thick... I prefer mine to be all relatively the same size... these were not... the broccoli was good - the chicken good. the sauce had a nice taste to it ... the white rice the meal came with was alright... as far as white rice goes... wish they would have put more than 1 singular soy sauce packet in the whole bag....

I question how fresh the rice is, because all around the outside of the container it came in was dried rice stuck to it... All-in-all a decent meal. Not the best Chinese I've had, but also not bad... 7/10 read more

Stopped in for an early dinner. This small place works if you're looking to get straight to the point! Staff is very friendly and food came out quickly. Big portions, but not much protein or veggies included. Tasted pretty good after adding sauces, but had to order a side of chicken to complete the meal. read more

Service here was quick and friendly. Called in for a to-go order and it was estimated to be done in 10 minutes. Got there and my order was completed and ready to go. Got their lo mein with beef--cooked perfectly and great portion. Did have to add more soy sauce to it for my liking but glad it wasn't overly seasoned. read more

The hot and sour soup was good. The General Tso's chicken was not as spicy as I like and had very little sauce.

Stopped in for dinner and was not disappointed. Small dining area was clean and comfortable. Our meals were served family style so we were able to enjoy sharing each dish. Small staff was attentive. Only drawback was drinks are charged by can-still chilled with ice provided as well. Will be back the sauces had great flavor and everything was fresh. read more

Young Chow Cafe - Shrimp fry rice - Thai Near Me - Haymarket, Virginia

We've picked up carry out a few times here. Usually, everything is good! However, the other day we ordered MooShuPork. The helping was generous but there was hardly any pork, only cabbage. The nice sized plum sauce lacked sweet and was way too salty. We really like what we've ordered in the past. First time ordering this specific dish; and, we will not be reordering anytime soon. read more

The orange chicken was good and the spring roll. The best was definitely the fried rice and broccoli. Service was good too, they didn't understand what we were saying but at the of the day we got our orders exact. read more

Amazing service as well as amazing food. While all the food on the menu is yummy, the following serve as my favorites: beef & broccoli, chicken chow mein, egg rolls which I cannot get enough of & of course Young Chow's general tso's chicken. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner or lunch, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Very nice people, great food the best thing is that they don't make your food too oily :) We have a Chinese place by our house but we prefer to drive to Young Chow Cafe. Thank you Your regulars. read more

I had General Tso with white meat and it was delicious. Over the years, at other restaurants, I'd ask to have it spicy. I usually got a smile and a giggle but it never was spicy. Young Chow is the first take out to make it spicy. Thank you! read more

Delicious food, good size portions, and friendly service, all at a good price. I have been here three days in a row for dinner and I enjoy sitting in the restaurant. This is a no-frills establishment and I like it that way. Reminds me of the Chinese restaurants I went to as a kid. The portions are also very generous. I appreciate that they offer a smaller size portion for certain dishes at a reduced price. Their large is more than I can eat in one sitting and though I can take it for leftovers, sometimes I just want to eat a smaller portion and not worry about taking anything home. I highly recommend this place for delicious Chinese food. read more

General Tsos and chicken with garlic sauce is tasty. Good portion and good prices. I have only done take out and had no issues. Inside appears clean and looks nice. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I ordered Crab Rangoon, Beef on a Stick, Fried Wontons, Chicken Pad Thai, and Combination Fried Rice and unfortunately I didn't enjoy any of it. I tried to make it work and eat what I could but the fried wontons were so hard and empty (see photos below), the Rangoon was okay. And I have to say after working in a Thai restaurant myself for 2 years, this was NOT pad Thai at all. Pad Thai is supposed to have a sweet taste and this was very plain. $59 dollars down the drain, I hope the lady enjoys her $5 tip because I didn't enjoy any of the food :( read more

I've tried many wonton soups before and this was the best one. Very filling and big noodles! Highly recommend

Combo fried rice had almost no proteins in it. Pretty much all rice. Very disappointing given the pictures on Yelp that looked promising. Spring rolls were good. read more

No flavored gland and consistent. Been here 3×1st time was OK. Last two times it sucked. Kung Po was tough and had absolutely no flavor lo Mein was prepared properly but also had no flavor read more

Ordered chicken fried rice and an egg roll. Everything was flavorful, hoping to try a few more things but Gainesville is out of the way. Sales person was friendly when taking my order and in person. Definitely gonna come back when we can dine in. read more

Food was ok. Ordered Sweet and sour chicken, chicken lo mein and shrimp fried rice, hot and sour soup and spring rolls. Sweet and sour chicken was bland Chicken Lo Mein - flavor was good but the noodles were too mushy Shrimp fried rice was good Spring rolls were too hard, flavor was bland Hot and sour soup was awful. Tasted medicinal, something was off. I couldn't finish it. Overall, it was OK. But not as good as it used to be read more

Quick service. Wonton soup did not have wontons but massive slabs of dough. One had to cut it with the spoon and try fo navigate to mouth. Nothing in the dough. Couple shreds of pork thrown into the bottom of the broth which was very, very salty. The noodles were drowning in a very heavy sauce. This is not chinese, thai food. Bottom line, never again. read more

FINALLY!!! A delicious tasty Chinese restaurant around the area!!! I used to go to Young Chow back when it was in Manassas across from the hospital. Since I have been looking for a Chinese restaurant that is super yummy! I had no idea there was one in Haymarket! I recently moved right up the road from here and I'm glad I did! If you are looking for a delicious, full of flavor Chinese restaurant in this area look no further this is it!! Trust me when I say I have tried everywhere in Manassas and Gainesville, this one is THE BEST!!!! read more

Young Chow Cafe - Beef & Broccoli With Garlic Sauce, Kung Po Chicken! - Thai Near Me - Haymarket, Virginia

Food was made fast, excellent customer service, and kung pao chicken was yummy! My girl who is picky eater recommends this location.

March 2022 - COVID Review: A group of friends and I stopped by for dinner on a week night and had a good experience. The dining area isn't huge but there's still a decent number of tables and they were able to accommodate our larger group (6 of us). We all got a variety of appetizers to share and entrees. Everything came out fairly quickly and the portions are also very generous! I had to take my leftovers home. Service was also prompt and nice! I definitely would be back the next time I'm in the area! read more

fantastic quality! The chicken fried rice and General Tso's chicken were the best of anywhere in the Nova area that I've had since Hunan Chef closed a while back. really excellent quality food. read more

The BEST Chinese restaurant in the area. I refuse to eat at any other place, because the food just doesn't compare. I get the Kung Pao Chicken and the Chicken Lo Mein everytime. The portions are great and I can normally get more than two meals out of them! My family and I have been customers for years and the staff has always been extremely friendly. The service is also very quick. Next time you have a craving for Chinese food, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

I always order food from here & it's always great! Although a bit dissatisfied with my order from last night. I wanted something lighter than lomein so I ordered a rice noodle dish. It was rice noodle under broccoli (Thai style). I guess I could've asked what Thai style meant, but I was not expecting fried rice noodles drowned in brown sauce. I think it could be specified on the menu (or I could ask next time) So if you order this, just know it's not regular rice noodles. read more

Been a customer 12 years! I've never had a complaint. The service is amazing. Highly recommend

A disappointing meal all around. The Mongolian beef was mostly onions. The scallops & vegetables were doused in a bland sauce, thickened with cornstarch but ultimately flavorless. Chose it because it wasn't marked with a pepper (for spicy) but still expected some seasoning. Best thing about the meal was the fried rice. read more

Yelp failed me with this place. I legit came here because of all of the good reviews for the food. I ordered Hot and sour soup, bee chow fun, and fried rice. My food was hot and prepared quickly but that's all I can say about it. When I tasted it, there was a lack of flavor and my soup was too watery..yes even for soup. I might have also received an old batch of the beef because it was slightly on the chewy side and did not sit with my stomach. (Yes, it was the food because I had not eaten anything besides breakfast 9hrs before.) I usually don't write on my first visit and will write longer reviews, but I just didn't receive a great 1st impression. It has to be a fluke or something, because I just can get see this place receiving so many great reviews but miss the mark with the food. read more

This restaurant has been consistently great throughout the years. I recently revisited this restaurant with my sister after moving away from the area, and I'm glad I did! Everything still tastes just as delicious as I remember and the service is just as great. During this visit, we had the pork lo mein, general tso's chicken, and egg drop soup. I don't usually order general tso's chicken but I've definitely been convinced to start ordering it from now on! The pork lo mein was great too. It was flavorful and the noodles had a nice bite to it. It was so good, we ordered the combination lo mein to go! Last but not least, the egg drop soup. I've had plenty of egg drop soups in my life, but this hit the spot. I ordered another one to go for my SO at home and he loved it as well. I maaaayyy or may not have eaten too much of the food we brought home for him. Oops. If you haven't tried this place yet -- give it a try. It'll soon be one of your go-to restaurants too! read more

All the food was very flavorful and a great portion! Must try is the General Tso and the lo mein. They also had the most flavor egg drop soup I've had-- definitely exceeded my expectations! read more
