Been bying from them for many years but tonight I orered my almost usual General Tso's Chicken, extra spicy and it was fabulous. Alwyas been vert good but particulary exceptional tonight !! 8/4/2025 read more

I give this a one star, because of the customer service I got today on 4/22/2022. Actually my first and last time there! Food was good, but the guy at the front counter was not very nice or customer friendly! I do customer service every day and you don't act like that! I'm guessing he has a issue people of a different race, because another person came in he treated them the same way! I'm surprised they are still in business! I won't spend my money there again! read more

We have often ordered Chinese food from Top China because it's close to our home, even though it's always been a mediocre restaurant at best. However, our latest experience was nothing short of a disaster. The food was simply inedible. We ordered Shrimp Egg Rolls, but they were drenched in oil, so much so that the inside was soggy, and the cabbage filling was mushy and unappetizing. Worst of all, the egg rolls didn't even contain shrimp, which was shocking given that shrimp was supposed to be the main ingredient. The fried rice we ordered was lukewarm and hard, as if it hadn't been cooked properly. It was dry, tough, and felt like it had been sitting around for a long time. To top it off, the hot and sour soup wasn't even hot--it arrived cold, and the flavor was bland, which made the entire meal even more disappointing. Frustrated, I was ready to throw the food away, but my husband decided to call the restaurant to inform them of the mistake. The front desk girl told us to bring the food back, promising to fix the order. So, I made another trip to the restaurant, hoping they would correct their mistake. When I arrived, I waited patiently while the staff helped another customer. As soon as she was free, she approached me, staring me down with an unfriendly expression. Before I could even explain the issue, she opened the bag of food and started smelling everything. She sniffed the Egg Roll bag and tossed it aside dismissively. She then opened the fried rice box and again put her nose right up to the food, declaring there was nothing wrong with it. I was absolutely stunned by her behavior. I reminded her that she was the one who told me to bring the food back so it could be replaced. At this point, she seemed visibly aggravated and frustrated, repeating over and over that there was nothing wrong with the food. I asked her why she had me bring the food back if she wasn't going to fix the order. Her response was rude and dismissive. She said, "What do you want me to do?" Then she reluctantly agreed to replace the fried rice and the egg roll but claimed the hot and sour soup "always comes like this." She left the food lying on the counter and walked away. After about 10 minutes, she returned and slammed a carton of fried rice on the table. When I inquired about the Shrimp Egg Roll, she started screaming at me, claiming that she only agreed to fix the fried rice, not the Egg Roll. Her attitude was completely unprofessional and hostile at this point. I had just about had enough. I confronted her, telling her that she was lying, and demanded a refund. As she screamed and processed the refund for the Egg Rolls and fried rice, I noticed that my hot and sour soup and the rest of the food had been thrown in the trash without any explanation or refund. Despite the soup being part of the original order and having multiple issues with it, I never received a refund for that item. This experience was appalling--not only was the food terrible, but the customer service was absolutely atrocious. The attitude, lying, and the blatant lack of professionalism from the staff were more than I could tolerate. I am honestly shocked that this business is still operational, given the quality of their food and the way they treat their customers. I've also noticed that whenever someone posts a bad review online, they seem to immediately post a fake positive comment to balance things out and keep their rating high. It's an obvious tactic, and frankly, a joke. read more

This is my go to for Chinese food. The food is fresh and flavorful and I have never had a problem with my order. The people are always friendly and helpful. read more

Best Chinese Food in Locust Grove! Fried chicken wings are amazing. Good and polite service. We shall return.

good chinese food that is my favorite food This is a delicious restaurant. I'll be here again next time. read more

Not good today.. I usually get General Cho Chicken, but today Sweet and Sour Pork. It had everything but pork. Just bread balls. Not good. read more

This used to be our favorite Chinese in LG. However after they changed ownership in 2017-18 it went downhill. Food was overcooked, not fresh, smaller portions and higher prices. Hope they have improved read more

I would give them a 0 if I could. The food was not even edible. The cashew chicken had no chicken. It was cashews carrots and celery. The bourbon chicken had the texture of jerky. The fried rice, was glue like and clearly not fried rice. The white rice was too dry to eat. It was not edible, I threw it away and cooked a frozen pizza. I don't understand how this place is in business. read more

Your fortune cook will read "You Shouldn't have" Omg.... Awful!!! The ribs were hard as a rock. Curry shrimp tasted like old fish. Schwann beef was tasteless and mostly onions. Spring roll was kinda ok if it were the last spring in Lucus Grove, Fredericksburg, Virginia. read more

Awesome Gen Tso chicken and beef and broccoli. The pork egg rolls beat all others in Locust Grove. Dumplings were also great. I will definitely return. read more

My family's been a regular to this place ever since they opened and we're probably going to be until they close. It's hard not to be when you live across the street from it. So why low rating? It's hard for me to really call their food... good. While I wouldn't call their food inedible, of all the 'Chinese' restaurants I've been to, Top's food certainly isn't life-changing. They serve what you would expect from an average Chinese place, from egg rolls to General Tso's, with about the same average quality to boot. The interior reminds me of a school cafeteria. It's bare save for a few Chinese decorations here and there. They've got seats and tables you can dine at, but it's relatively quiet as most people just wait for their take-out. One thing Top's has going for them is location. If you live by the main gate of the Lake of the Woods, its too easy to just cross the street. Sure, there's another Chinese restaurant a little further down the road, but for the lazy and the impatient, left turns are just too annoying. I like to think of Top's like I think of microwave dinners. It's not necessarily a good meal (nor the healthiest), but it's cheap, fast and convenient. read more

I feel like when I was younger the quality of the food was better, nowadays I feel like they just don't care. The location is nice and convenient but the inside of the restaurant seems to be dismal at best. This place is ok for pickup orders but not so much for delivery. read more

Absolutely disgusting!!! I cannot emphasize this enough. Lobster lo mien, not lobster, almost has the appearance of crawdads but smells horrid. Crab Rangoon, not sure how to describe it but it wasn't the crab cream cheese taste that I'm fond of. It was very gritty and way over cooked. Orange Beef, edible but also overlooked and has the consistency of chewy chicken skin. The spring rolls were ok, as was the sweet and sour chicken. General Taos chicken was also just ok. Will not EVER order from here again. read more

We have eaten here twice. The first time I ordered General Tso's chicken. It was terrible, I threw most of it away. I wasn't confident that I was eating chicken. The second time I tried lo mein. There hasn't been a third time. Life is too short to eat bad Chinese food. read more

Some of the best chinese I have had !!!! Great to eat in (very casual) or take out !!! Great service and staff and outstanding chinese food that is freshly prepared when you order... read more

We just moved here and delivery is amazing! You he food was delish and it got here hot and ready to serve. It's pretty delish...!

Out of all of the Chinese places I have ever been, Top's has the best General Tsao's Chicken. The wait is only 25-35 minutes and even then the food quality is amazing. read more

This is considered my favorite local Chinese Food place. We get a regular order about once every week or two and the food always yummy and the staff friendly. In the last several years, two new Chinese places have opened closer to me but I still think Tops China has the best Pork Fried Rice and Fried Wontons. Recently, they've really mastered the Crab Cheese Wontons with a fresh taste. Mmmmm-mmmmm. Out of the last 7 years, they only made 1 mistake in our order, and it was a good one because the Shrimp Fried Rice was good with a nice ratio of shrimp. Not like some places that barely put one shrimp per bite. Keep up the good work, Tops! You,ve been serving Locust Grove some great food for a long time and have earned a great reputation and still standing! read more

who ever was the person who said the kung pao chicken would be better if it was vegetarian your a moron you ordered it and it says chicken in the name no where does it say vegetarian you moron read more

The best thing I can say about Top's is that their chicken wings are 10 for about $5 and the sauce that comes with them is surprisingly good. Other than that, the food is not great. Most of what I have ordered comes out tasting like a lesser version of the foods that I crave. I highly recommend anyone wanting Chinese food go a little farther east on rt 3 and get Lin's instead. read more

Greasy, inconsistent quality. The dining room area looks like the back employee room instead of an area for customers. Few smiles.

Not bad, they have always been moody when I have been there. Lins Garden is much better and it's right down the street behind McDonald's

This place could be a diamond if anyone gave a care who works there. Physical store dirty & and flooring has been flooded and looks horrible. Table legs rusted. Food is oily and prepared without any thought or care for quality. Too bad the family won't be back. read more

Excellent food!!! Have ordered from Tops China many times and the food is always fresh and superb testing. Would say that it's some of the best in my many travels throughout VA. A true gem in Lake of the Woods. read more

This is place is good. I recommend General tso's shrimp, awesome. Have eaten here for years and tried lots of things. 99% of the menu is good. Avoid shrimp spring rolls, and "lobster fried rice" is actually crawfish (not bad though). read more

Order from here before and never had any problems however tonight when my parents and I ordered, I received my food and not sure if they did not wash the broccoli well enough but there were small bugs (gnat size) in my meal. They were nice enough to refund without any questions. (Two star because she was nice about this and did not give me any problems) read more

The food is good...nothing special, but not bad. Convenient to LOW, and free delivery. The past couple times they haven't been giving bags of crispy wonton noodles with the soup. This time we actually paid $1 so we could have 2 extra bags, and they only brought 2 bags total. The spring rolls are very good and the all white meat general tso's you get a ton of food, but other than that they are just ok. read more

This is the best Chinese place right in the locust Grove area. Always fast, hot and delicious food! I always go back.

People friendly and always order online. Have picked it up a few times, but lobby where you eat is outdated and needs totally redone. Also one of the letters doesnt lite up a night and been that way for months. Food wise not the top of the line, but portions are very large. If your a picky person, you better go somewhere else, but for us, works just fine. read more

Wasted money. The spicy shrimp was slimy, I told myself it was the sauce. Over cooked rice that was dry and hard. I ate 3 shrimp and trashed the rest. The egg rolled was edible. Local restaurants are letting us down lately. read more

When Top's China opened many years ago we tried it and didn't like it but couldn't remember why. Decided to give it another try tonight and the food was awful. The fried rice had no flavor and tasted weird. The hunan chicken was bland and the chicken chow mein was awful. Will not be going here again. Lin's Garden down the street is much better. read more

Several months ago we had an issue with their food not being what we ordered as they specify it on their menu and stopped ordering from them. We gave them a second chance and ordered today, including Chow-mein (noodles) and they sent tasteless chicken with boiled cabbage. We called them and they told us to add the "fritos" that they use as snack....!!!!! read more

As far as carryout goes Top China is about as good as it gets. A huge menu selection, generous portions and modest prices. I havent had a dish yet that wasnt flavorful and the delivery is the quickest I've seen. If there is such a thing as 5 star carrout, Top China would be deserving! read more

I love this place..and so close. My son has allergies and they adapt their dishes to meet his needs. I love their online ordering as well. Thanks to all the workers at this location. read more

Really not a fan of this place... the food just isnt really that good. it is convienient.... but totally not worth it.

Typical glutinous strip mall "Chinese" food. I've given it 3 tries because it's local, but no more. The beef dishes were AWFUL-meat like shoe leather, even the dog had a hard time chewing it. Crab wontons OK but basically filler with flavoring. Lobster Egg Fu Young had a very few small pieces of what looks like imitation seafood. May have been lobster, but if you can't tell what it is, how good can it be? Gravy and sauces are just vile. read more

Food is mediocre at best but online ordering was a plus until today! We placed a $30+ order online and received confirmation email. After waiting over an hour for the food, I called to check on it. Voice mail message says "We are now closed on Mondays". Will my card be charged, I certainly hope not!! Website says open on Mondays and computer system took order. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE!! read more

I wasn't pleased with my shrimp lo mein as it seemed over cooked . Service was not friendly nor fast . This area could do with out this restaurant read more

So, I have lived here going on five years, ultimately there food is alright, and until about 6 months ago I ordered from them at least twice a month. Then their online ordering stopped working, my best educated guess being they haven't shelled out the cash to update their web site to allow more updated systems to work on it, Like windows 7 and up. If I have to talk to someone to order food, it better be the "bee's nees". I have no problem calling Bella J Cucina, but they have made to order delicious Italian food with NO online ordering what so ever. My suggestion to Top China in Locust Grove, VA, is to ensure there is a easy trouble free way to order ONLINE. This will likely increase business. After all in this modern age children or on their smart devices more than talking on them and the children of today are the adults of tomorrow. read more
