First, this place does not seem like a Taiwanese restaurant, even though the name seems to imply it. It was wrong of me to assume that, but it is a bit misleading. To clarify, this is a Chinese restaurant. I went on a weekend and it was nice that they still offered lunch specials, however, I stuck with the dinners. I got hunan pork and crispy beef(?). The crispy (whatever meat it was) was good. It was a bit sweet and a bit savory, which is the best of all worlds. The hunan pork was okay, nothing spectacular. Total came out to about $25. So, justification for the stars: (-) Not a Taiwanese restaurant, as one would expect from the name (+) Offering lunch specials on weekends (-) Meh hunan pork (+) Not bad sweet and crispy beef(?) (-) Bit pricy for Chinese take-out (+) But, decent portion of food (+) Plenty of white rice Overall, there were more (-)s than a highly rated restaurant should have. The major upset was that it was not actually Taiwanese.. read more

Chicken fried rice has barely any chicken in it. To the owner, putting some chicken in your chicken fried rice is not going to bankrupt you however not putting chicken in your chicken fried rice will bankrupt you because people will stop coming in read more

Taipei Cafe - No chicken in the chicken fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

I have given Taipei Cafe a LOT of business over the last few years. However, most recently I have found their quality slipping. I ordered a chicken dish from them and I believe there was no chicken in it. It as full of jack fruit and maybe tofu, but no chicken. I am reluctant to write a bad review about them, but they have been cutting corners and offering an inferior product lately. read more

I'm familiar with authentic Taiwanese cuisine and this is my entire family's favorite dish. It is unavailable at any other Chinese restaurant, you must try it!! I strongly recommend all the stir-fried dishes. (I don't order deep fried dishes so I cannot comment on those.) read more

Taipei Cafe - Pork with dry tofu, Ma Po Tofu and Crispy fish - Chinese Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Not Taipei at all. Small restaurant. Not really for sit in because of few tables. More of a delivery store. To say in short, the food is not great. The egg in the egg foo young tastes like water and the hot and sour soup is too salty (doesn't even taste like hot and sour soup in my opinion). Definitely do not recommend. However, I liked that the staff were kind and there are plenty of parking spots. read more

Nothing about this Tawainese except the name. Typical Chinese Restaurant with fair quality food. Shrimp with mixed vegetables swimming in brown sauce with overcooked vegetables. Would recommend looking further. read more

As some of the reviewers have said, there is nothing "Taipei" about this Taipei Cafe. My wife and I were there about 6 months ago and I don't remember what we had. What I do remember is that we both agreed they served some of the worst Chinese food we've ever had, not only in Northern VA, but in all of the cities we've been. If there was a zero star, I would have given them that. It is that bad read more

THE most disgusting fried chicken I've ever had in my life. The breading was so thick, it broke off in huge chunks and had no seasoning. Then, There was barely any meat on the wing. There's so many other food options in the area , go to them because this place is so nasty I can't understand how they're still in business. read more

Wonderful. Best staff. So kind and generous. Best food! Highly recommend long horn beef! Thank you!

Good lord. I was in Leesburg for work & had a hankering for some chinese on the cheap. I saw the lunch special was for $5.95 and though "oh, cool". I should've known from the get-go this was not a good idea. I ordered the "Paradise Chicken". In honesty, it was tiny pieces of chicken rolled in half-cooked dough drenched in soy sauce w/ half cooked veggies. RUN AWAY from this place!! The lady at the front was so nice & sweet so I hate to have to leave this review, but it is what it is ‍ read more

See all

I went there yesterday .... the lady behind the counter was the unfriendliest person ... no greeting, no smile, just looked pitiful.... my take out was bland and I ordered broccoli with garlic! I will not go there again.... one piece of advice: you MUST have friendly people work for you.... it is essential and when you own a business (especially a restaurant). If you hate your job, quit. Life is too short to spend it being miserable and being unpleasant to others. Too many other choices in Leesburg for you not to care how your business is portrayed. I would love to teach good customer service skills to your establishment. I could have overlooked the bland food.... but not the awful pitiful attitude! read more

For all you "yelpers" out there....RUN, don't walk away from Taipei Cafe. On a whim last night hubby picked up some food from them. I ordered the fried lo mein w/ chicken, beef and shrimp. Husband ordered crispy beef (under the chef specialties). There is nothing good I can say about this meal. The rice was hard as a rock. The stickiness and chewiness of the crispy beef was inedible. My fried lo mein noodles were limp and greasy and the shrimp smelled "off." We threw everything away. Oh, forgot the appetizers....Fried dumplings--dough too thick, inside tasteless, dipping sauce no flavor. Teriaki Beef sticks--dry and chewy w/ a thick sugary sauce plopped on top. PLEASE DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY. (If I could have rated this place "0" stars, I would have done so.) read more

I have been eating here for over 8 years and I love their food. I know people that have worked for them and they have verified that they are a clean restaurant with strict hygiene. They have always been very quick with delivery. And of all the Chinese food I have eaten, they are delicious. They went through 2 owners but they still taste awesome. I was worried it was going to affect them, nope. Still yummy. Flavor always the same. I'm actually eating this right now read more

Every week or so I get a hankerin for a generous portion of General Tso's chicken. Get my fix here. Got some egg rolls today with my General Tso's and they were really good also. read more

LOVE THEIR NEW LOOK! Been ordering from here on and off for years and everything is always consistent. Best place overall to order affordable Chinese in Leesburg! read more

I really enjoyed the customer service I received as the staff seemed very friendly. That being said, I have to be honest and say that this was probably the worst "Chinese carry out" that I've ever been to. I had 3 different things (chicken & vegetables with fried rice, hot & sour soup, and beef teriyaki) but NONE OF IT was good. Not to mention the price was a bit high for what I received. read more

The people were decent... Food was AWFUL! I ordered the egg drop soup, and what was supposed to be broth was literally oil. Seriously it was. If you will eat literally anything, consider any place in the area. If you have actual taste, don't come here. I don't think I could even consider my meal Chinese food at all. read more

I'm so excited I found this place!! It's very authentic and has great prices for this area. The egg foo young was amazing- I will definitely be back! read more

I have been coming here since I was a child! The prices are great, the staff is so friendly and it is always delicious. :) The only thing is if you are planning on eating in during the lunch rush, you will have to sit on the floor, it is a very cozy. (by cozy...I mean relatively small for the amount of people who come in. haha ) Take out is best. :) I can always expect consistency when it comes to their food. read more

This use to be my fave Chinese take-out type place years ago, but its been going downhill :(

I have been going here for years, I've never been disappointed with my meal. I always order something different from the menu, and it's always delicious. Your order is always fixed fast and with a smile. They make you feel like family too. read more

This is the best Chinese food in Leesburg hands down. If you are liking for a lot of food for not a lot of money this is the place. I could and have eaten here multiple nights in a row with no problem ghetto something different and just as good. read more

So, it's chinese food - how picky can you be? Well, this place gets a two star rating because the food wasn't good. Even the shadiest chinese place can be good, since really they all look the same, smell the same, come in the same boxes., right? I order sesame chicken every time. This sesame chicken Is breaded to oblivion, slathered in a sauce that taste like pancake syrup and the rice taste like microwaved Uncle Bens. Needless to say, I'm not extremely picky when it comes to an 8 dollar chinese meal, but we won't be back to this establishment. read more

Terrible customer service very disgusting tasting food flavorless Over cooked. chicken was stringy to the bite noodles were dry and sticky Fried rice was also disgusting I can make a better batch of fried rice on a hot day on a rock. every bite of this food was an insult to my mouth food was also extremely expensive where I could probably get better food in a school cafeteria I personally will not be ordering from this place anymore in the future just to feel like I was robbed at the end of the day read more

Nice people work here and always have a smile when we come in. Food and prices good. Thanks

If this is the one by Walmart, we had ordered from here yesterday for lunch. Now, I don't mind repeating myself, once...Maybe twice, but if you continue to not understand (or listen) to what orders are being placed, then there's a problem. That's when I get frustrated, and FRUSTRATED I did get. I am well aware that my tone of voice eventually did not become the friendliest. First and foremost, I know working at retail is not the easiest. I GET that, I work at retail. I had given him the orders I'd like, and what should have been just a minute or 2 minutes of placing an order felt like 20 minutes! I had to eventually start over and give him the orders again TO ONLY HAVE THIS MAN EVENTUALLY HANG UP ON ME ONCE I WAS DONE GIVING MY ORDERS. First of all, how are you going to hang up on me, before asking me if I'd like it as a card or whichever? When the delivery man came, he was also apparently rude (according to my co-workers) stating that he insisted they gave him tip. There was clearly a mix-up because the order I placed (that was hung up) was in his hand and my reorder with the rest of the other coworkers were in his other hand. I had called Taipei again and the same guy who 'helped' me answered. The moment he hears my voice, he has given the phone to another worker there. I had to explain to the lady "the man who JUST picked up the phone is the SAME guy who helped me with my order" stating that I'd like to speak with him. I had to explain to him that he hung up on me and...THIS MAN, the audacity to raise his voice says "YES YOU NO PAY SO PAY' pretty much saying that 'yeah sure I didn't charge you on the card, but you gotta pay." The food was...not great. The noodles had a slight...slimy feel to it? I'm not sure how to explain. THE RICE. Oh......the rice, I'm assuming was either cooked early, EARLY morning or the day before. I admit my wrong by having a horrible tone. However, if you work at retail and you pretty much raise your voice at a customer, don't listen to their wants and needs, and also hang up on them...that's a HUGE problem. Perhaps you shouldn't own a business or work in business. read more

Very happy with the food. Got a chicken, pork, and a couple beef dishes. All were very good and the dumplings were very meaty. I will most certainly be going back, highly recommend them read more

We had ordered from here a few times in the past, but in two occasions the food was not fresh. It tasted like it was reheated. We won't be ordering here anymore. read more

I was at the Walmart picking some crap up. I got a whif of the Chinese food across the way. I decided to go in a get some hot and sour soup. At one point they had the 2nd best hot and sour soup in Leesburg. It was right behind mine =) I'm always too lazy to make mine becuase it takes too much time. Anyhow I walked in ordered a hot and sour soup and at it there. First look was the color it was pretty light in color. The color use to be a lot darker. Then I noticed there was hardly anything inside. Very little mushrooms, lots of egg and some bamboo. They did put the green onions on top. I took a sip and about burned my mouth. That was a plus, it was hot, but not spicy wise. It also had a very watered down taste to it. Not sure why they changed their old recipe. That old recipe use to be very good. Oh well if I want good hot and sour soup, I'll just have to make it for myself. I went back a couple other times thinking this was just a bad day, but this trip I think they changed it for good. As for the rest of the food, it's nothing special. They probably do have the best combo prices, but thats about it. read more

Ok, most chinese restaurants are dirty. This one is no different, BUT the food is always hot and fresh @ a good price. I also love the old lady behind the counter, she reminds me of the soup Nazi from Seinfeld! read more

My wife and I went there for the first time today and the food was absolutely atrocious! Dishes we ordered had no taste, and for the poor quality of everything prices we paid were considered outrageously expensive. The couple working behind the counter, whom I think are owners, had terrible attitude. I will never go back there again. read more

Good cheap food. Not much more can be said. It is better taken out or delivered as the atmosphere is on line with an old elementary school cafeteria. Love the pan fried noodles. They have to get fountain drinks buying sodas by the can is a pain and it ain't cheap if you eat in. read more

Cashew chicken had an odd taste, and pork lo Mein had hard things in it. Not horrible but not as good as other delivery places. They delivered promptly though. read more

Ordered online, called an hour and 20 minutes later and they said they just saw the order. Food came rather fast after but they messed up the order entirely, forgetting sauces for main dishes, providing lomein noodles without being stir fried, and forgetting one main dish entirely while providing something not ordered. Would not order from them again nor go there. read more

This is my favorite Chinese place in the area, so good I've been here once a week for two months now.

Very disappointing and mediocre. Hunan chicken, cashew chicken, shrimp and broccoli, steamed dumplings, chicken satay, all very bland with very little flavor. Will not order from them again. read more

I was in there today. The staff acted like they were offended that I was there. I placed an order to go. No thank you or have a nice day. It was lunch hour and I was the only customer there. Never again!!!! read more

Very disappointed, I used to love this place and was a regular. Today I was told that I did not meet the minumum to use my debit/credit card. This has never been an issue before. Also, did not receive my spring roll and I called to let them know. I was told I wasn't charged for it. It has ALWAYS been included in the lunch combo in the past. Not sure what is going on with this place, but they have definitely lost my business. read more

This is my to go place, when I want chinese take-out. Haven't anything so far which was a dissapointment or not delish at all... On the comical side: on first two orders they made the spicy food extra spicy, since I'm Asian. Had to ask them to tone it down for me, but keep it spicy for my Caucasian hubby... and they always remember ever since *lol read more
