I've lived on the Pike for 6 years now. Tonight I finally decided to try Tops. I had a craving for Crab Rangoon and crossed my fingers this quaint little walk-in/pick-up spot would do the trick. The family operating the restaurant is so sweet and kind. They made my food fresh right in front of me. I ordered Crab Rangoon, which was AMAZING! I also tried their General Tso's Chicken, delicious! They give very generous portion sizes, too! This one meal is like 3 meals for me. Great customer service and food. I'm only sorry I didn't try their food sooner.
This food was not that good to me. I wanted it garlic sauce. The sauce was watery whatever they put on it and I had an egg roll with no flavor I have to stick with my Chinese restaurants on the Maryland side
Serviceable but nothing to write home about. My girl enjoyed it but I've had better. Uncle Roger would not approve. Just moved here from Cali and the Chinese food and beer out here is bland. Ordered the shrimp with garlic sauce and was waiting for the flavor to pop... Never did. Rice was overcooked and the fortune cookie was not even as good as Panda Express. Presentation is better than it tastes.
First timer here, quite disappointed with the taste of the food. The spring rolls have a tangy spice that is not enjoyable at all. The General Tso chicken and shrimp fried rice were pretty good. The service was really great just disappointed with the overall meal.
This place was fantastic. You can literally see that the food was made fresh when you walk in. Very unassuming place but don’t let that fool you because the food tasted amazing. Plenty of quantity for the price (hard to say that often in Arlington). I ordered the General Tso Chicken and Hot and Sour soup and everything tasted great. For anyone that prefers spicy food, I would recommend asking for higher levels of spice in the dishes because the standard version is not spicy at all. I will definitely be ordering more from here
