I stumbled on to Ruyi because I was looking for coconut shrimp - I'd recently visited my sister, and when we ordered from the Chinese place near her, I had these delicious shrimp fried sweet and sour style but they came with a creamy coconut sauce. I couldn't stop thinking about them, so I tried to see if I could find something comparable in the area. Enter Ruyi! They have the coconut shrimp and it's AWESOME. Their crab rangoon is also very good. So I decided to expand and try some other menu options - I got the sweet and sour chicken, but it comes with the standard red sauce rather than the orange one I prefer. Egg drop soup was filling and flavorful. I then tried a couple more branch outs with the Pad Thai and Orange Chicken. Those two - I wasn't crazy about. Neither had much depth of flavor and didn't reheat well. This will definitely be my go-to for that coconut shrimp craving, but for my other favs, I'll dial into other Chinese/Asian fusion places. read more

Terrible shrimp egg foo young. More bean sprouts than egg. Rude customer service as usual. Lobby was hot with a industrial fan in the middle of the floor blowing hot air. Do they never have babysitters being that their kids are always there. read more

I got chicken pad Thai, 4 piece fried chicken wings, and a shrimp egg roll. The total was about $31. The chicken was really good and exactly what I was craving! The pad Thai was not good. The texture was undercooked and the sauce was complete liquid. The eggroll wasn't great either and the inside of the wrapper was soggy. read more

Visitor from California and was craving hot and sour soup as comfort for a rainy work week. After several searches, decided to try this place. Awesome soup. Friendly staff. Will definitely swing by again to try some other food before I head back home. read more

Ruyi Express - Large hot and sour soup - Chinese Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Prices slightly higher than other local places in Newport News. I found nothing outstanding about the food. Mediocre at best. We ordered egg foo young (shrimp and roast pork) Wings, and crab Rangoon. read more

It's a decent spot. You won't find anything fancy about it. On a plus note extremely clean. That's of major importance. Hampton isn't known for its Asian cuisine. That's a shame, and my hope is it will one day. Until then this works. Is it expensive? No although the portion sizes could be increased. The food itself is fairly tasty. My recommendation is General Tso or chicken with broccoli. The spring rolls are decent, but aren't in the spectacular category. Extremely friendly employees, and my thanks to them. read more

We had our food delivered. It was cold but that was on the driver, not the restaurant. The Lo Mein dinner and crab Rangoon were good. Nice portion sizes. The chicken wings had flavor and nice and crispy. I do not recommend the egg rolls at all. The pork inside was gray and they smelled funny. The brown sauce also had a sweet strange flavor. Would not order those two again, otherwise the food was good! read more

I go to this restaurant as frequently as my wife can stand (she likes Asian food... just not as much as I do ). They provide a great service with the online ordering. Since my first visit in August 2022, I've ordered from this restaurant three more times. I've ordered anywhere from four to as many as seven items. In my opinion, the portion sizes are good. My wife & I (and sometimes two of my adult children) can eat from the food for at least two, maybe three meals. I also feel the prices are reasonable. Up to this point, I have had high praises for everything I've eaten from this restaurant. During my last visit on March 17, 2023, one of the dishes I ordered was the Mongolian Beef. The Mongolian Beef was VERY disappointing! I'm not sure if it was a mistake, or perhaps the abundance of onions are there to compensate for the amount of meat in the dish. While there is meat in the dish, this is too many onions! I've attached a picture of the amount of onions I found in "half"( of the dish. I love onions - - just not this much in one dish. I've had Mongolian Beef, Chicken , and Pork before, and never have there been this many onions in Mongolian meat dishes. I would like to add, there was a strong flavor of black pepper in the sauce. Please receive this post as constructive criticism. I will continue to visit this restaurant and try new dishes each time I visit. read more

this is amazing chinese food, very fresh and crispy. it came out quick ! best in hampton, great price

I did not enjoy my food. I really wanted to like this place. I ordered the bourbon chicken and pork fried rice. The chicken pieces were very small and hard and the sauce was very thick and kind of orange looking. It was lukewarm and bland and the rice was room temp and hard. Yikes! It didn't resemble bourbon chicken at all. I actually brought it back up and asked if it was bourbon chicken, thinking maybe they misheard me and gave me something else. But the lady confirmed that yes it was bourbon chicken. It was inedible. My husband ordered the lo mein and the lady said "pad tai?" He said no, lo mein. Again she said "pad tai?" So he said sure I'll have the pad Tai. Maybe the lo mein wasn't that good and they make a great pad tai???? Idk. But he loved his pad tai, there was a lot of peanuts on it. He really enjoyed it. That's why the 3 stars. My friend got some kind of dumplings she didn't like hers. The staff was friendly and the food was not fresh or authentic, except for my husbands pad tai of course. read more

This placed satisfied my chinese take out cravings. I got the sweet and sour pork and it was very filling. I finished it all before I took pictures! The interior is clean and has a few sit down tables. The staff was very nice and I'd love to come back for more and try other menu items! Overall, 5 stars read more

Food wasn't really that good. I had the beef & broccoli with garlic sauce and vegetable fried rice. The rice was cooked all the way through. The sauce wasn't liquid it was more like gelatin even after I put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. I miss the Chinese spots in NYC. Out here isn't it. read more

Second time ordering her for pickup. Good sized portion's. I had beef and broccoli and egg rolls and shrimp rolls. The food was good, but by the time I got home the rolls were no longer crispy. Not their fault just a long ride. I'll try something spicer next time. Good for what it was. read more

Good Chinese food. Got the General Tso and dumplings and had enough for leftovers. Would recommend.

Some of the best Chinese food in the area! Takeout vibe. Quick service! Friendly staff. If you're ever in the area, definitely stop by!

Food is hot every time, delish and good size portions. I will go here out of a few locally, seems so hard to find good Chinese food and good lo mein. read more

Customer service is great. Received my food in a timely manner. Food tasted amazing. I ordered the steamed dumplings, shrimp pancit, and a homemade sweet tea. My boyfriend ordered the bourbon chicken lunch special with fried rice and a homemade sweet tea. read more

Incorrectly listed. Doesn't deliver. Very rude person on the phone to let us know they didn't live up to their ratings and listed services on Yelp! read more

Flavorless. Didn't include any sauces in the go-bag. I ended up feeding the meat to my dogs and the rest to my chickens. They didn't care! read more

Best Chinese place around. The chicken is always fresh and it's always ready in 15 minutes. Does get pricey when you add in appetizers

Recently ordered delivery from here after a friend suggested it...I've been disappointed by a lot of my favorite go to chinese/asian spots lately and was very hesitant as the flashbacks started (a joke) any who their menu is HUGE, there's Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and a lot more, I always get nervous when places have super large menu's as in the past there's been a lack of quality for such places. This place was the total opposite, I was happily surprised and wow'ed, our food was delivered quickly, everything was fresh and tasted great. This is one of the few places that seems to still care when they cook and it shows. We'll definitely be ordering from this place again! read more

Made order never was delivered like it said it would until I waited over an hour to call then said it couldn't deliver

This is my go-to Chinese spot!! I used to love the lo mein, then I moved on to the fried rice (specifically, the sausage fried rice) and then I just moved to getting sausage with white rice. Then one day, while looking at the app to order, I saw "Thai menu"!! I had never seen that before!! I got the shrimp fried rice with Penang Curry Sauce and I have never looked back!!!! It has a slightly sweet flavor from the coconut milk and it's amazing. It is a bit spicy even though I get mild, but it's not overwhelming. This is hands down my favorite spot!! Also, their regular generic Chinese food is also good, like the teriyaki chicken, bourbon chicken, etc. Oh!! I almost forgot, they have lumpia!!! So tasty!!! I'll be going here til I die or they close/change owners!! read more

Today marked the second time I headed over here during my lunch break. I ordered the Honey Chicken Wings with Fried Rice both times I ate here. Absolutely delicious.

Honestly fire, so good, the lunch specials are super cheap too. Nice people As well!!!!

Not the best carry out but it's the best I've tried in Hampton so far. Their Lo Mein is probably my favorite thing to order here.

Excellent! Had the General Tso's chicken and fried rice. My daughter had the pork fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and big portion sizes. read more

This is your typical Chinese takeout restaurant. It could use a bit updating in the restaurant and they definitely need to add a booster and highchair for small children who plan on dining in. Big pet peeve of mine. I ordered Shrimp with Lobster Sauce. The shrimp were pretty large in size and delicious. I wish my peas and carrots in the sauce weren't so hard though. My husband ordered the General Tsos and he said the smaller bits of chicken were a bit chewy. The fried rice tasted a bit bland as well. The fried dumplings were good though. All in all, no serious red flags but no standouts either. The people were very nice. I would maybe consider trying again if I was in the area. read more

I thought all steamed dumplings would taste the same from a Chinese fast food restuarant. Not true! Ruyi Express were different. They were large, tasty and seemed like they were just made. They were very light. Also had shrimp lo mein. It was outstanding. Service was quick takeout order and the food was great. Highly recommend in Hampton, VA. read more

Delicous hot food- curry chicken and coconut schrimp. Fried rice was fresh and good. Well packaged!

General Taos was lacking a lot of batter and hardly any chicken. The pork egg fu young was wonderful. Lo Mein had a nice balance of veggies and meat. Staff was friendly and the food was cooked quick. Would have been nice if a soup or egg roll came with meal. Just to round it off. read more

Always fast and hot. Vlosest chinese restaurant to our home and happy that every time we order something different, its still amazing. Even the kids love their fries and nuggets. read more

Good Chinese food place efficient and helpful staff. something expensive but it is a good link

Delicious house fried rice. Was good for meals. Delivery person was very nice and prompt.

I ordered Sesame Chicken tonight and the sauce was pure liquid, the sauce wouldn't even stick to the chicken, it was just like orange water. Flavor was quickly bland! It didn't even look like sesame chicken... my husband asked if he could have a piece of my Orange Chicken because he thought that's what it was! read more

Worst Chinese in Virginia. I love garlic but not as the only flavor! I ordered the vegetable chow main. On the menu it says with Chinese vegetables. It was made with onions, celery, mushrooms, broccoli and GARLIC. Egg rolls were part hard and part chewy. Don't waist your money here read more

I've had other delivery Chinese food in this area and they don't even compare to Ruyi. Food was delivered 10 minutes earlier than expected and very hot. Shrimp toast is amazing! I've never heard of it before so tried it out of curiosity. Ingredients overall are a lot more flavorful and fresh compared to other Chinese delivery places. Threw out the menu for the other place and saved Ruyi's. Will definitely order again. read more
