Service was good. Take out dinner - can't comment on ambience. I ordered Szechuan beef medium spicy, fried rice and spring rolls. The Szechuan beef dish had no garlic, ginger, peppers, peppercorns, or chili peppers. It was overwhelmingly julienned Celery and a small amount of carrots, a few slices of onion. No taste. No flavor. No spice or even a whiff of heat. The spring rolls were bland and looked like they were store bought and heated up. Fried rice was bland, with a few frozen veggie carrots/peas. What a huge disappointment. My spouse had Sesame beef- ditto for lack of flavor. I rarely post such negative reviews and can usually find something positive to say. However, if you are looking for somewhat authentic Chinese/Thai food this is not the place. The people working at this restaurant were very friendly and polite. read more

First time ordering from this restaurant and I am mad I didn't order from here sooner. The portions were great, delivery was on time and the taste was good. Compared to some of the other restaurants in the area with similar food, this is now my number 1 choice. I look forward to ordering more items in the near future. read more

Would not recommend. Everything is average. And the spring rolls are below average - they taste like they came from frozen package and I'd assume the restaurant bought them. I also tried the basil fried rice, chicken fried rice, and pad thai; all average. Service was fine, nothing special. Ambiance was basic. read more

Ordered online. Food was ready as promised. Food quality is average. Probably one of the better Chinese fast food places in the area. Food was a bit salty. Will try again. read more

This review is from a long time customer due to not many options in the area. This has always been pretty mediocre but they offer delivery in a 5 mile radius. I was in the shopping center that Dlite is in and wanted to stop in to grab an updated menu since I haven't ordered in a couple months. There is a few seats and a table or two but this is mostly a carry out place. Ordered a few times but be aware there prices are not what they are on the menu and they openly tell you that the menus is not updated. No bueno. Actually believe this could be a violation. Anyways. Ordered last couple times and was in the $45-$50 range all the time. Both times I ORDERED I asked for EXTRA SPICEY MUSTARD. Both times I was delivered 3 small packets which is enough for one person when you order for 4. Thanks. But they do offer more packets of whatever sauce you want for an additional charge! Never again. 50$ worth of food and I have to pay extra for any more than 3 packets of any sauce. Crazy. Maybe a little common sense like if I order one lunch special. This has happened on multiple occasions. Never again for mediocre food. Man I miss my NY Chinese food places. read more

Food was cold and order spring rolls and inside was mushy and raw. 2/5 stars maybe I caught them at a bad night?

Stopped in here for a late lunch on a Saturday after getting my nails done next door. Haven't found decent Chinese food in the area so I figured I'd give this place a try. Was happy to find lunch specials on a Saturday and tried the combination lo mein and General Tao's chicken. Came with soda or soup and an egg roll. The chicken was fantastic! Some of the best general Tsos I have had. Freshly made and flavorful. I also liked the fried rice. The egg roll was just ok and the wonton soup broth was salty and lacked Flavor. However with the main meals so good I will surely go back. Photo only of the combo platter because we gobbled up the general Tao's too fast! read more

This place has been steadily going downhill. It used to be our go to, but that the Kung Pao was mushy, no flavor. We asked for hot, but it was barely seasoned. I will not be returning here. read more

This restaurant used to be our go to place for "American style" Chinese food, but it has definitely gone down hill over the past several years. I don't know for sure because they cook everything in the back out of view from the customer, but I feel like they used to cook meals to order. Now everything tastes as if it has been cooked in mass quantity, kept warm and then served up buffet style (in the back). I say this because in the past, if you wanted something extra crispy or extra spicy, they would do it for you and it was awesome. Now all the chicken dishes are the same exact soggy chicken with a different sauce squirted on it. All the dishes have just gone down hill. I wouldn't be surprised if they were heating up frozen egg rolls, breaded chicken and crab Rangoon. Nothing seems to be homemade anymore. To compound the situation, their prices have gone up 10-15% every year for the past 5 years. Literally, I have one of their menus from 2020, 2022 and their current one. Their menu is nearly double what it was in early 2020. I get supply chain issues and inflation, but a 90% increase in less than 5 years is absurd, especially with the decline in quality. For nearly the same price, you can get amazing Asian fusion food in another strip mall about a mile away (I'll let you figure out which one but the name rhymes with "fox"). The ambiance is what you would expect for a strip mall. This is clearly not a place designed for dine in eating,.... but you could if so inclined. read more

We had this for Christmas Eve dinner and it was delicious! Easy online ordering and the food was done quickly! We ordered pickup and had no issues, the order was correct! The orange chicken, sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken were the favorites but the mixed veggies were loaded with a lot of good veggies! Would definitely return read more

Good food, not too greasy and always hits the spot! Customer service is prompt and kind and they've really improved in recent years

NOT SICHUAN FOOD. Is the food good? Yes. Is the food spicy? No. For American Chinese food, pretty good, more on the sweet side for sure. Fried rice is very good, I prefer it a bit salty but that's my personal preference. All in all the food is a bit more on the sweet side. Even the spicy wonton wasn't spicy, not even really salty. Nothing was bad about it so I was going to give 4/5 stars because the taste is personal preference but my fortune cookie didn't have a fortune... and they only gave me one... Which I truly think is the whole part of the Chinese food experience. read more

Szechuan D'lite - Missing fortune in my cookie - Chinese Near Me - Fairfax Station, Virginia

This is my first ever review and I felt this was necessary because of how disappointing this food is....... I ordered via Uber eats a Szechuan chicken and some crab rangoons. To be fair the Rangoons were delightful. However, the chicken or there lack of because instead of chicken we received a bowl of mixed vegetables and a garnish of a rubbery chicken piece. Swimming in sauce... It had said spicy but the dish itself was sweet I do not recommend this to anyone. I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. Don't order from here unless it's the Rangoons but feel free to forgo my warning but don't say I didn't tell you so. read more

Just not good. The crispy honey chicken is swimming in so much sauce that it just isnt hardly worth eating. The chicken is in very large chunks and tough. The fork is so damn flimsy it won't even cut the chicken, they have no knives they can give you. Everything is of the very cheapest quality they can source. You can do so much better than this for $16.38 for one order of crispy honey chicken and a bottle of water. Go elsewhere, you will be glad you did. read more

The food taste like home. The service is fine. Ambiance is there. People there know what they doing.

I've been going to this spot for as long as I can remember. I've tried many dishes (but my favorite is definitely the chicken lo mein which is pictured). I'm always impressed with about how fast they complete the order. Additionally it always tastes fantastic and has become a comfort food for me read more

'C'mon people... we tried this last night order 8 dishes. I had the bourbon chicken. Yuk! Asked for all white meat. I think they thought I said "no white" meat because it was mostly fat. No good Every single dish was so over sauced ... check out the picture. Never again still looking for a good Asian food joint... this place is not it ! Blah! read more

Consistently good Chinese carry out. Orders come out fast and delicious and prices are reasonable!

The food here is just not good, the ingredients are low quality and greasy. I would love for a good Szechuan restaurant to come to the area, this is not it. The people are nice though and the service is good. Maybe they can improve the quality. read more

Our go to! Best in the Lorton area. Hopefully the owners will claim it on Yelp! soon.

Quick last minute meals from this place. The duck is really good (although not a lot of meat for a whole duck). Love the pepper shrimp and crispy beef too! Ordered a couple of times. Their thai menu is not very good and far from authentic and I'm sure the Chinese menu is not either, however, for a greasy spoon craving the chinese menu is my go too read more

Nicest people ever and great food! I wish they still made their homemade dumplings though. I usually get Singapore noodles with chicken only. read more

Authentic, delicious and reasonably priced. It was my first time and everything was perfect! The food is FANTASTIC. The server was excellent and paid attention to details. read more

It was quick order for carry out. They do deliver within 4 miles. I ordered over the phone, changed my clothes and drove there. It was ready upon arrival. As you can see lots of food for lunch special. The menu price changed but the rest is the same. We ordered lo mein, general tso's chicken and broccoli shrimp lunch special. It comes with fried rice, eggroll, soup or drink. We mentioned the coupon and was able to get crab rangoon for free. We also ordered chow fun without bean sprouts. We might order thai food next time. read more

COVID-19 review: We ordered online and we indicated that we wanted contactless delivery in the comments section during checkout. Food arrived in about an hour and the driver dropped off the food, rang the doorbell, and waited in his car until we picked up the food from our front porch. We ordered Crab Rangoon, and the Orange Chicken meal for 2, which includes the entree, fried rice, 2 egg rolls, and we chose egg drop soup for 2. The meal for 2 cost $25; however, there didn't seem to be a lot of the Orange Chicken to share. It might be more beneficial to order 2 different entrees for $12.50 each. Everything tasted good but the fried rice was very dry. It was not edible the next day after being reheated sadly. read more

Not bad. Ordered online and was ready as promised. Portion size was reasonable. Taste was okay. Would definitely go back and try different dishes. read more

Even though the food wasn't too bad, the less then welcoming attitude of the cashier made me never to want to go back. I guess they don't care about customer service. Sad.... read more

Food was awful. Absolutely no flavor. Ordered combination fried rice and combination lo mein. This is my last time order from this restaurant. read more

We took a chance on this place. We got a flyer in the mail. I have been in the area for 3 yrs and haven't found a place our family liked. They definitely got our business now. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. The Springrolls were light, hot and crispy (not soggy). We got delivery and the food came in a timely fashion. We finally have a good Chinese restaurant to order from! read more

Finally had the chance to make a takeout order that was eaten shortly after without reheating. Sadly, the special is not very special. "The chicken "blossoms" are pieces of white meat that look deepfried before getting stirfried, restulting in stringy rubber. The uneven cuts will have one piece be tender on one end and hard at the other. Stopped after a few pieces as I didn't want to develop the bad habit of spitting into a napkin. The vegetables swim in a dark sauce that leans to the sweeter side. I could have used it to dip the crab rangoons, which are oddly shaped, molar grinders. Think peanut brittle without the festive flavor. Play it safe and stick with lo mein so you won't go hungry. read more

This is my go to place for Chinese food when I am in Springfield area. They have coupons, so make sure when you order you ask them about that! If you spend $20.00, you get a free order of crab rangoon and as you spend more you get better things for free:) read more

I only like getting their beef and broccoli and bean curd with mixed veggies. Dishes are ~$10 and there are lunch specials that are cheaper. It's a quick bite for locals and gets the job done. read more

This is my go to for Chinese food. Prices are reasonable and food is good. The only place that you dont have to bring a coupon with you. Just mention it to the lady who takes your order before hand. I mostly do carry out orders. read more

My wife and I regularly get delivery or takeout from here. The food is reliably some of the best Chinese (and sometimes Thai) in the area, and delivery has never taken longer than 20 mins (we live very close-by). Inexpensive, good variety, always tasty. Interesting story: We went to get carry-out from Szechuan D'Lite tonight, and at pick-up, wondered why the bag was so heavy: My wife had ordered "fried wontons, hot & sour soup" but the nice lady at the counter heard "FIVE wonton, hot & sour..." So we had SIX containers of soup along with the rest of our order. D'oh! Yet, the lady there was very nice, apologized for getting it wrong (though I think we all played a role in the screwup), and ALL had a good laugh over it. An added plus: I tried the wonton soup (which she insisted we keep at least one, plus a free order of egg rolls), and it's the best I've ever had. #lostintranslation #FIVEwonton! read more

Very disappointed. The chicken teriyaki was hard, old and inedible. The rice was overcooked and hard. Pad Thai was not good and noodles were overcooked. read more

I love this place. Also a good meal. They have a tiny Thai corner on the menu too. My favorite dish is the bean curd Szechuan style its delicious. Their dumplings and soups are great too. Very friendly staff and very prompt service. Overall nice little place. read more

Gross. I threw most of the order away. I've been searching for a new Chinese carry out/delivery option as Chopsticks Express seems to have declined over the last 2 years since ownership changed. Hot and sour soup was oily and tasted burnt. Egg drop soup was over thickened and did not have much flavor. Pu Pu platter spring rolls were greasy, but edible. Crab Rangoon was in a thick wonton skin and fried so hard that it was inedible. The spareribs were OK. The chicken kabob was very dark and the meat was spongy --- mystery meat no thank you. I ordered the combo of Heavenly and Peking chicken. The Peking chicken was good, but came with the sauce applied and was soggy when it arrived. The Heavenly chicken used to be beautiful chunks of white meat chicken cut into crowns. Again it was mystery meat. I gaged on the first bite and threw it away. I actually worked for this place as a delivery driver in the 90s when the Tsun family ran it and it was top notch. Sad to see what it has become --- no wonder they push out so many coupons. read more

They deliver super fast. Food is pretty good. They always have coupons available. So be sure to ask if you don't have a menu handy. I love the dumplings. Only negative thing is the price is a little steep. But the fast delivery helps make up for that. read more

Crispy hot chicken with fried rice, out of all the Chinese places in the area its the best
