Best Chinese in Richmond (Mechanicsville, Short Pump: restaurant, prices, move)

[luis84]

Hey guys... I just want to get all of your opinions on the best tasting chinese in richmond/midlothian, etc. Please contribute your opinions so far here is mine....

China Panda - 8970 Quioccasin Rd, Richmond, VA‎ - (804) 754-8822 (it's the one by Regency Square off Parham). The food is amazing, it's a small place, not the most beautiful inside but I've yet to find better chinese. I love the sweet and sour chicken. If you guys help me find a better place, I'd be amazed.

Tops China (all 3) - Disgusting. Worsrt Chinese.

China Wok - Mechanicsville - Moderate. It's not bad. Good prices. However not the most amazing either.

China Taste - Lucks Lane - Midlothian - Good. The food is good, the rice is not the best, chicken is decent. The prices are good. Good egg rolls. Interior is not good for sitting down but it's a good place. Not amazing, but good.

Peking (west broad/Midlothian) - Good food. Still like china panda better. It's gorgeous inside, great date place, romantic or just co-workers/friends. Good menu, great service, prices are decent. Expect 30 dollars for two.


Anyone got any ideas?

In Short Pump, I'd recommend Chen's. It's by the Food Lion near Twin Hickory.

Chens Chinese Restaurant

ETA: I've never eaten in the restaurant, only take out so I can't really comment on the ambience.

I thought we've done this thread before...

Anyways, I'd have to completely agree with this recomendation. Chen's is awesome, and if you eat-in, it's a real restaurant... if you know what I mean. (Real plates, silverware, you get soup first, then your meal)

It's possible it's been done before, but new people move here or join the forum all the time so you get some repeats. You should see the Raleigh forum. Every month there's a thread on the best pizza.

Totally agree on Chen's. Coming from NY (by way of Va to IL) I miss pints.
