    Nasty tasting hot-and-sour soup going down the drain

    I picked up an order of hot-and-sour soup for my boyfriend who is sick. He said it always helps make him feel better when he has this soup. Well, evidently I picked the wrong place because he let me know it is the nastiest shit he has ever tasted. So instead of chicken broth or anything else that would make you feel good that shit (the hot-and-sour soup) except two cans of oil would be worse! If we could give this negative stars we would. I feel bad for picking this place when all I was trying to do is help him get well, not sicker!

    Shrimp in garlic sauce????  Really???? (I just don't think so!!)

    Order is once again wrong!! I ordered shrimp in garlic sauce -- but got what I think is Shrimp with Lobster sauce or something -- i hate mushrooms and its full of mushrooms and 4 pcs of shrimp. Last time they messed up my order too! I like their food but can they get it together!!!!

    New to Manassas. I ordered Triple Delight for take out, they charge a $1 extra for fried rice. I added sweet and sour soup and an order of crab rangoon. The Triple Delight...was very good, nice sized shrimp and tasty chicken and beef. The veggies were especially fresh. The sweet and sour soup was a sizable portion and very good. I was a little disappointed in the crab rangoon...just not all that flavorful. What...no fortune cookie? I left feeling very unlucky. Just not as good as my fav in Chantilly, China Cafe.

    Unfortunately, the quality dropped off after my first couple of visits. The first thing I noticed was that there was very little meat in the entrees, especially noodle entrees. Paying about 10 dollars for a dinner entree that turns out to be mainly noodles is just not right! The last visit, I ordered a large hot and sour soup to go for 4.35. When I got home and served it, I found it to taste burnt! The worst hot and sour soup I have ever had. Inedible. It also had very old button mushroom mushrooms. No meat at all and just a couple of small pieces of fungus-probably wood ear. What a rip off. Threw it out. Another Chinese restaurant that I can no longer recommend. Even the fortune cookies were hard and stale.

    General Tso's Chicken. Wasn't crispy.

    Ordered the Genneral Tso's Chicken. It tasted good. Combination Fried Rice was delicious. Had the dumplings. I've had better. Crab Ragoon tasted a little stale.

    I went there today for me and my husband's lunch. The beef and broccoli was disgusting. The service was not good either. I will not be back.

I landed a lightly…read moreseasoned tofu dish with a mouthwatering onion and pepper flavor, and a convincingly decadent chocolate cake. 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.

    I've found Cheng's to be a reliable go-to when I am craving good Chinese food. Their portions are…read moregenerous, and many dishes are packed with bold flavor and freshness, whether you are in the mood for something spicy, savory, or mild. You get good food at reasonable prices. Some of my favorites include Crispy Shredded Beef in Spicy Sauce, Fried Chicken Nuggets with Basil (a Taiwanese native favorite), and Wrinkled String Beans. Crispy Shrimp with Honey Walnuts is also really good. They offer a wide variety from stir-fries and noodle dishes to seafood, pork, beef, and vegetarian/vegan-friendly options. The kitchen is very accommodating. If you want milder spice, less oil, or custom tweaks, they seem pretty open to it. Because it's not one of those fancy places, the vibe stays relaxed and unpretentious, which I personally like. It's nice for families, friends, or a simple meal out without fuss. I also like to order take-out. :)

    This was THE ABSOLUTE WORST Chinese food ever. The hibachi chicken looked boiled and not grilled…read more No flavor at all. Since moving to Manassas I realized that there are no good Chinese restaurants here. Just yuck

    We've been on the hunt for good Chinese food in Manassas for years and have always come up…read moredisappointed in three areas - freshness, spring rolls, and texture. Friends recommended Lin's and I'm pleased to say this may be our go to! We ordered online and picked it up on a Sunday evening and there were several folks dining in at the time which is great to see. The inside was very clean with all the sauces and utensils/chopsticks available to grab when you pick up the order. They had a hot sauce which we liked. We ordered general Tsos, hunan chicken, Taiwan rice noodles and vegetable rolls. Both the general tsos and hunan came with small containers of white rice. The veggie rolls were just spring rolls with cabbage but the shell was crispy and the cabbage still held up.. no mushy insides. The general tsos chicken was all white meat and good texture, but a bit lacking in spice. When we order again we will ask for more spice. Similarly the hunan chicken had a pepper next to it on the menu but had very little spice, but was redeemed by the number of fresh veggies. The squash in it was amazing! The noodles were not greasy, had good flavor and came with a good amount of chicken, beef and shrimp. The lack of grease and oil was very refreshing and will definitely have us ordering again! Someone dining in had a mountain of fried rice that looked and smelled amazing so will be trying that next.
