Chopstix makes decent food and we have been getting carryout/delivery from here on and off (on and off over 10 years). We recently tried Chopstix again after not going again in about 2 years. And food has been good. Each dishes we ordered was full of flavor and seasoned well. Slightly on the saltier side if you eat the dish without rice but balances out with plain steamed rice. Just to name a few that we got and enjoyed: We got hot & sour soup, beef with broccoli, sweet & sour chicken, spicy mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, crispy shredded beef in spicy sauce (crispy sweet & spicy), chicken with cashew nuts. We also got eggplant in hot garlic sauce, this dish was really good. I highly recommend. We also got shredded potatoes and this spicy dish was really good, with white steamed rice this dish was perfect to my taste but in my opinion it's too expensive at $15.95, I think I would get it again if the price is around $10.95. Service is good and friendly. This restaurant is mainly carryout and delivery, and there are no tables to dine in.

Stopped at Choostix for a quick lunch while I was craving some duck. I was imaging some crispy roasted duck with fatty juices and a hot bowl of rice with some soy/duck sauce. I was a little heartbroken it wasn't exactly what I wanted but wanted to give it a try. Note that this only came with duck so if you want to eat it with rice, you're going to have to order a side of rice. The sauce was more of a thick hoisin sauce which wasn't the kind I wanted so I decided to just eat the duck without any sauce...or rice. The skin was very crispy but the meat was very dry. Portion was also small for the price.

Like the food when we first picked up however next day it didn't taste the same. The phone etiquette was little off and sound alittle snoopy "do you know we are?" and I wanted to tell her "yes, I live in sterling and I can afford to eat in great falls." when I picked up the food, the 3 counter staffs was giving me the unwelcome look. 4 stars for presentation at the restaurant 3 stars for the food 1 star for customer service - general tso chicken portion was NOT worth the price. Overall it's not too bad, I'll probably try again.

This establishment is a joke. Will never order here again. How do you add the tip plus delivery fee to the total. 70$ for lunch is stupid!

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.

Perfectly crispy on the outside, bursting with flavor, while the inside is incredibly tender and equally flavorful. Absolutely delicious! Pan-Fried Seafood & Chive Dumplings -- Just Okay Disappointing compared to what I'm used to in LA, where you actually get big, plump shrimp. Here, it was mostly chives mixed with what seemed like seafood paste. The skin was also too thick and doughy. However, the filling was very flavorful, which somewhat made up for its shortcomings. Seafood with Crispy Rice -- I'd Say Skip It! The homemade crispy rice was ridiculously hard, barely edible even after soaking in the soup! The soup contained shrimp, fish, homemade fish balls, bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, white beech mushrooms, and thinly sliced carrots (IMHO, mostly for color). While flavorful, the broth had a slight fishiness. The highlight was definitely the homemade fish balls stuffed with fresh scallops! Never had anything like them before! Dry-Fried Cauliflower -- DEFINITELY ORDER IT! Soooo good! Crispy, crunchy cauliflower in a light batter, packed with flavor and a nice spicy kick. The cilantro adds freshness and fragrance that take this dish to another level. A must-order! Scallion Bubble Pancake -- Overhyped, IMHO! Honestly, I don't understand the hype! It's basically Indian bhatura, but without the chewiness. And why call it "scallion" when there's absolutely no scallion flavor or visible scallions? The curry dipping sauce was thick (seemingly from cornstarch) and so mild it was barely noticeable. The pancake was decent while hot but turned hard once cooled, unlike bhatura. I LOVE the concept, but the execution falls short. Add actual chopped scallions and either ditch the curry sauce or make its flavor much bolder! Sesame Noodles -- SKIP IT! Another of their most popular and highly recommended dishes, but I've definitely had better elsewhere! The noodles were dry even after mixing in all the sauce, and the flavor was underwhelming. We didn't even finish it. Overall: The Cumin Lamb Bites and Dry-Fried Cauliflower were the clear winners! The rest ranged from just okay to disappointing, especially given all the hype.

The food overall is good, but the hosts aren't doing their job. Tables sat empty for a long time…read morewhile guests waited, and the hosts just kept rearranging chairs instead of seating people. What can improve: The service and the hosts

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.

Punchline: If you like mushy dim sum and servers who complain about customers (you) within earshot,…read morethis may be the place for you. Han Palace has one of the largest all-day dim sum menus in Northern Virginia, so it has been my go-to dim sum restaurant for about six years. Unfortunately, today's experience ended that relationship. When me and my family arrived in the evening and were seated immediately. Within a minute, our server asked if we were ready to order. When I said we needed a little more time, she visibly appeared annoyed. After quickly deciding as a family, I placed our order. Because I studied Chinese as a second language, I sometimes order dishes in Chinese. In my experience, servers either appreciate the effort or simply take the order without issue. This time was very different. The server seemed irritated that I was ordering in Chinese. I switched to ordering by the menu item numbers while pointing directly at the dishes because I thought there might be a misunderstanding. Surprisingly, she insisted that I order using the dish names instead. Had the experience ended there, I would have chalked it up to an awkward miscommunication. Unfortunately, it got worse. Less than 30 seconds after taking our order, two dishes arrived. The speed made me wonder whether the food had already been sitting out. The steamed pork buns were so dry that one had cracked open, and the shrimp dumplings were mushy and stuck firmly to the paper liner. I was later surprised to see another reviewer describe a similar experience several months ago. After dropping off the food, the server walked over to a colleague and began speaking in Chinese. They repeatedly looked directly at me while discussing my attempt to order in Chinese. Since I understand the language, it was clear that she was complaining about me. This happened several times while the restaurant was relatively empty. Each time, she returned to the same spot to continue the conversation, with her colleague looking directly at me. After the third time, I asked for the check because I wanted to leave. Paying premium prices for disappointing food is one thing; having the staff openly criticize you while you're dining is another. As we were leaving, I heard the server mutter, "What's his problem?" I will not be returning. I understand that everyone has a bad day, but the combination of poor food quality and unprofessional service made this one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in years. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision before dining here.
