I usually get the general tso's chicken, beef chow fun, and a large hot n sour soup, and it's enough to feed our family of four. I usually prefer authentic Chinese food but once in a while I crave for some classic Americanized dishes as well! I can tell that the food is not loaded with MSG and grease like some other places. I also like the new, clean, and modern look of the place. The nice gentleman gave my son a free soda one time - thank you!

We ordered the food thru their website and had it scheduled and gave us the option to pay in store. We ordered the 2 piece egg rolls, hot and sour soup (pint), vegetable lomein, general tso chicken, moo shu pork, and beef with broccoli and came with 3 white rice. The food came out hot and was still hot when we got home! We enjoyed everything! It was worth the drive, but maybe not during the week days lol. Def try it if you live in the area!

Plenty of other options were available for when I get my tolerance for spicy food back, as the place leans Szechuan. Takeout was an efficient process even though they did not take online payments; I just paid when I got there. The location is a bit past the airport, which is probably a better place to look for Chinese food than most of downtown DC.

What I enjoyed about Yo more than a place like Dumpling District (very similar in menu) was the quality and vibes of the service and atmosphere. The servers were very helpful to explain the dishes to my family members who needed some help. The food hit! The Spicy dry noodles are definitely what drew me to come here and they did not disappoint. My kids loved the pork chops. The seafood soup was loaded! The flavors were exceptional. And for as much food as we order, the price was pretty reasonable! We look forward to our next visit!

I had lunch here over Lunar New Year weekend, and found the servers friendly and attentive. My wife and I had the all-you-can-eat lunch, which has both dim sum and traditional brunch offerings. We ordered siu mai, Chang's braised pork belly, Chengdu twice cooked pork belly, dry fried red pepper chicken, bok choy, pork bao, shrimp dumplings, and kimchi friend rice. Each dish impressed, and the Chengdu pork belly impressed with delicate, savory flavors with cabbage and sauce. I can't wait to come back with all of my friends and family!

I didn't have a ton of time to dine in and it was great that they offer take-out. Although the restaurant itself was very modern and the place had a relaxed vibe. The 10 piece California Roll combo was the most familiar option, and I've learned from experience you can never go wrong with California Rolls. Hopefully someday I will have the time to come back with a friend and enjoy the full experience here.

Wow oh wow!! Incredible Chinese restaurant in Fairfax!…read more I never really crave Chinese food, but wow the food was incredible! The restaurant is HUGE and so clean. It had nice planters and dividers with each booth. Chow fun: such a good wok stir fry, spicy when hot, noodles not cooked all the way through for good texture Peking duck roll appetizer: I wasn't expecting it to be in egg roll form but it was piping hot and stuffed with duck Branzino garlic sauce: huge fish, a lot of meat, not too salty, very fresh and flavorful *takes 30 min to cook Desserts: Pineapple bun: has very liquidy salted egg inside so eat carefully bc it does come out quick! Yogurt parfait: wow incredible! Not too sweet, great texture like yogurt but not. It was so so good! This was a lunch meal for 2 and the price total was $88 for sooo much food. They also wrap your leftovers for you.

Mandarin was brought to my attention through a Yelp newsletter that discussed places to eat in…read moreReston. We had never heard of Mandarin before that. I looked at the reviews, which are mixed, with some who really like the food but some who were naysayers. Still, we thought it was worth a try. One thing mentioned in a review is that there are currently only two tables in the place. Thus, we were glad to discover that they work with DoorDash. We placed an order this past Sunday. We ordered two hot and sour soups, one order of chicken with snow peas and one order of spicy chicken with garlic sauce. As an aside, rice comes with each entree. We didn't know that so we had ordered one side of rice. As for the food, the portions are large. We got two meals out of them. We were pleasantly surprised by the food. The chicken with snow peas was a mild dish that came with an abundance of white meat chicken and a generous amount of snow peas. The snow peas had a nice crunch to them. The chicken with garlic sauce was mildly spicy and contained white meat chicken, sliced onions, and sliced celery. It reminded me of the same dish I had many years ago: same ingredients, same taste. My husband enjoyed his chicken dish. The hot and sour soup was okay. We've had better, but we've also had worse. If you like button mushrooms, they put a lot of them in this soup. We decided that we would order from them again.

Honestly the worst place ever. I paid for chicken and broccoli, broccoli well done(mushy). What I…read moregot was double cooked, DRY chicken and broccoli. Called them up to voice my concern, food isn't cheap right? I was given a bullshit answer "you need to come here and speak to blah blah" "I'll take your name and phone number but I'm not 100% the owner or manager will call you back" what the ??? Not sure anyone is going to call me back or wait the best one yet "I need to come in and speak to someone about the crappy food I paid for" I can't. I know this is probably one of the most decent places in Reston, but listen...I would drive anywhere and happily give my hard working money elsewhere.

The mala broth was lacking in flavor in my opinion, and the tomato one was a bit one-note (very tomatoey). The best broth I tried was the green pepper one. The ingredients they give aren't that much, mostly you'll fill up on the noodles. If you want the ingredients on the side to put in yourself you'll have to ask them or they will do it for you.

Decorations is on a classy side. The prices varies. We started with a few cocktails and couple starters. Sesame Balls were perfectly fried and delicious. The Shuimai was good as well. We ended up with 3 dry Chili dishes: chicken, cauliflower, and tofu. All same flavor but different at the same time. The tofu was soft inside with a nice crispy outer coating. Both chicken and cauliflower were tasty as well. Then there is the chicken with cashew nuts. I liked this one more than I thought I would. Good flavor. Lastly, wow. The Spicy Sour Fish Filet. It came in a HUGE bowl. A little spicy, a little sourness, fish, noodle... what is there not to like. Overall, a good experience.

We went here on a Saturday around noon for dim sum. The food was okay. The pork siu mai and the…read morefried sticky rice dumplings were fine, nothing remarkable. The shrimp dumplings were good. The beef ribs were really difficult to eat and the meat was not tender at all, it was much more tough and stringy than I expected. The steamed beef rice noodles also had no flavor, definitely would not recommend this dish or the beef ribs. The space was nice, there were a lot of larger tables as well as smaller tables for parties of 2 to 4. It wasn't too crowded when we went, a few larger groups and some young families. As other reviewers have noted, the service was sorely lacking. I noticed some of the servers were pleasant, but the lady who was serving us was pretty unfriendly and inattentive. She did not check on us even once to see if we needed more water. She just seemed annoyed and like she couldn't be bothered to do her job. There was another lady that did check on us near the end of our meal and she was very friendly, asked us if we needed any boxes, and offered to refill our water glasses for us. I guess your experience just depends on who you happen to get, but in my opinion, if you're that rude to customers, maybe you shouldn't be working in customer service. They do validate for parking in the lot and there's a garage that is for you for the first two hours. Overall, the prices at this restaurant are higher than is typical for dim sum. The space is nice, but for these prizes, I would expect a higher quality of food and definitely a higher quality in terms of service. I don't think that I'll be back to eat here.
