Strange chive dumplings - strange texture with no flavor
Linda B.

WORST Thai food I have EVER had!! I ordered the spring rolls, chive dumplings, Tom yum soup, and garlic stir fried with pork. I have never had such incredibly TASTELESS Thai food in my entire life!! All of the food "looked" good but was entirely tasteless. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone! Do not waste your money here!

Spicy Chicken Pad Thai
Kimberly S.

Love the location of this place. Priced reasonably & the flavor and portion is delicious! I also got the phrik king, it was ok. Honestly the best one I've had was in Hawaii, which had a bunch of ginger & string beans to it. Maybe that's what's missing, I don't know. But, overall the pad Thai is delicious & papaya salad!

Chicken Curry Puff
Adam C.

Great little Thai restaurant. The food is always presently nicely. The restaurant is very clean. The pad see wee was really good. The krapow could be a bit spicier but still quite good.

2 Steamed Dumplings
Javed S.

2 Steamed Dumplings are really delicious and home made. A little more chicken than sea food

Mango w/ Sticky Rice
Kimberly J.

Good Thai food close to home. Ordered through the Yelp app, which was very straightforward to navigate. Delivery came in about 30 mins. The gentleman who delivered our food was friendly and quick. Their menu has a nice variety of Thai eats. Standout dishes from what we ordered would have to be Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice. I wouldn't say this is the best Thai food I've ever tasted, but it was quite good. We're grateful that it's close to home and that they had friendly and quick delivery. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if you're in the area and in the mood for some Thai food, this is a great option.

**Take-out review** It's the neighborhood Thai place.... and I wish it could have been better. The staff is friendly, the place is homely, and the food was ready when I picked up... Drunken Noodle- I've had a lot of drunken noodle in many Thai restaurants around. This one is so-so. Not a lot of flavor, the noodles were really soupy looking. Red Curry - it was decent, but it was overly sweet. Tom Yum Veggie- this one was delicious. I got it spicy so you can see in the picture that it's red

Pad thai
Phuong O.

Friendly service and a great place to have lunch. We came in around noonish and was seated right away with water. We got their thai tea and it's a must get, it was good! We got 3 different lunch specials, it includes the main entree with their house soup and a spring roll. The soup was ok, it has cilantro, carrots, and some kind of lettuce. The spring roll was decent, it came out hot and crispy. We ordered the papaya salad and that tasted pretty awesome, nicely mixed with tangy sauce which I think is fish sauce, with shredded carrots, and papaya. Their pad thai tasted awesome, it wasn't too dried like most places, we also ordered the drunken noodles and that was a disappointment. I ordered with it with beef thinking it will be the sliced beef like most other places but this place makes served with ground beef. Very different. It was not spicy at all, the noodles looked and tasted so bland and dried. Typically your drunken noodles are soaked with oily sauce, but this one dish is dried. We also ordered the pineapple chicken fried rice and that was interesting. The flavor of the fried rice is curry flavored, nothing special about this dish. Overall, everything tasted great except for my drunken noodles.

chunk beef with stainless still scrubbing
Kelly C.

I ordered drunken noodles with chunk beef but it had stainless still scrubbing. Also noodle was overcooked. I was terrible dinner. DISGUSTING!!!

Papaya salad. Fresh and tasty, a little on the spicy side though.

The pad Thai was very good, no complaints there. However I can't speak to the rest of the menu, and the service was average

Parking was easy, and the restaurant was very clean, spacious, and peaceful. It was quiet enough that we could actually enjoy our conversation and hear each other. Ali was our server, and he was incredibly kind and helpful. The menu has so many options that we probably would have sat there forever trying to decide without his recommendations. Our favorite dish was the lamb, which can be ordered by the pound. It was so juicy, tender, and flavorful. We also loved the mild Korma Chop, the pumpkin Kawa Manta, the Cold Egg Noodles, and the beef and tripe. The Dolan Gul Chai was incredible. My friend and I finished the entire pot and refilled it with hot water twice. For dessert, we shared the Dolan Cake and the Sütlaç rice pudding. My friend preferred the cake, while I especially enjoyed the creamy texture of the rice pudding. There are so many more dishes on the menu that we want to try. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Ali, for the wonderful recommendations!

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.

Their namesake is dumpling but their other dishes are also excellent. My go to dishes are Lili's dumpling Fried and Xinjiang pork ribs. The dumpling's filling are made fresh after you order. So the dumplings are always fresh. The Xinjiang fried pork ribs are tender and nicely fried with a umami coating. In addition, the bits are tasty on top of plain white rice. Recently, we tried the shredded pork with dry bean curd. It is a bit tangy and spicy with jalapeños pepper instead of the normal bell pepper. Might have to try the snow pea leaves when it is in season. It was so good, I went back a second time and had the exact same dishes with my son while he came back for holiday from university within a week. Their service is always attentive and they provide free tea that tasted like real brew tea along with healthy amount of rice. I am glad I rediscovered this place again.

You place your order on the electronic kiosk inside the front door. You also pick up your order from the counter and bus your table as well. Water is self-service too, which is good. I ordered the B5. Sizzling Stone Pot Bibimap. It was pretty good and I especially liked the banchan that came with it. But as I mentioned, the portion size was small (and the amount of beef skimpy), though you do have the option of adding extra ingredients for a price. Some pieces of the meat did have an off-flavor. There was a cup of broth (not miso) that came with the bibimap but it had no flavor. It was like drinking warm water. JP ordered the C6. Korean Style Pork Belly. The pork belly was very good and this dish also came with banchan and broth. We also ordered the Spicy Baby Octopus. It wasn't super spicy but it had a very delicious sauce. But probably more onion than octopus. We also ordered the Chicken Bulgogi, which was excellent. However, these two dishes only came with rice, and not banchan. I doubt we will come back because of the price vs. quantity ratio.
