About 一品轩 Young Chow Restaurant
一品轩 Young Chow Restaurant, located at 1033 W Glebe Rd in Alexandria, VA, is a Chinese Restaurant that also offers Thai cuisine. Recent customer reviews indicate that the restaurant has undergone new management and features a new Hong Konger chef, resulting in an updated menu that includes both authentic Chinese dishes, standard American-Chinese fare, and some Thai options.
One reviewer who had a negative experience found the service to be adequate but was highly critical of the food quality. They described the beef teriyaki appetizer as "horrible" with a jerky-like texture and off-taste. The main entree, beef in pepper sauce, was also deemed unsatisfactory, with the reviewer questioning the quality and even the type of meat used. They found the food to be "barely edible" and considered the meal to be very expensive, leading them to conclude they would not return.
In contrast, another customer who has been getting takeout for a few years and noticed the new management had a positive experience. They highlighted the "Mala" section of the menu, particularly enjoying the Dry Pot Cabbage, Egg and Peppers, which they found delicious and seriously spicy. They also found the wonton soup to be good. This reviewer mentioned that while they opted for takeout, the restaurant has a nice sit-down space and a full bar. Their only complaint was the limited parking, suggesting delivery might be a more convenient option. They expressed their intention to return and try other dishes under the new chef.
Based on these reviews, 一品轩 Young Chow Restaurant offers a diverse menu with a mix of Chinese and Thai dishes, with a focus on both authentic and Americanized options. The quality of certain dishes, particularly some of the more standard American-Chinese fare, has been called into question by some customers. However, others have found success with specific dishes, especially from the "Mala" section, and appreciate the dine-in environment and full bar. The restaurant offers takeout and delivery services, which might be preferable due to parking limitations.

Not bad service! They weren’t rude or anything, and the food looked descent. I got the beef in pepper sauce and beef teriyaki for appetizer. The teriyaki sticks were horrible. Some parts of it was like beef jerky, and the taste and texture was off! The main entree wasn’t horrible but the meat certainly wasn’t beef, not even the lowest grade of beef. And there was something off about the taste of the meat in that entree as well. The food in my opinion is barely edible and this is coming from a Bostonian who has eaten at many Asian restaurants in the Boston area and spent a lot of time in NYC. I know what good Chinese food is like, even Americanized Chinese food. I don’t wanna know what the meat really was, but aside from all that it was super expensive! 31 dollars for an entree and a side! I definitely won’t be back!
A solid option for some authentic Chinese food in Crystal City. I've been getting take out from here for a few years. Didn't know they were under new management until I stopped in, but they've updated the menu and it says they have a new Hong Konger chef. They still have some authentic dishes as well as standard American-Chinese fare, and they've added some Thai. The "Mala" section of the menu is my jam. I got the Dry Pot Cabbage, Egg and Peppers, and a wonton soup. The Cabbage and the Egg were delicious and *seriously* spicy, just how I like it. Tons of fresh peppers in the eggs. The wonton soup was pretty good too. I got take out, but they also have a nice sit down space and a full bar. Only complaint, I would love if they got a better location with more parking. For now, it's usually easier to just get delivery. I'll definitely go back. I need to try the spicy double cooked pork belly again, with the new chef!
Just finished a wonderful meal at Young Chow. Drunken noodles were awesome and the chicken fried rice was yummy as well. Friendly and quick service. Recommend!!! They do dine in, delivery and take out. We are visiting from of of state but will come back when in town again.
Been curious about this place for a while but finally decided to try it when I saw they got a new owner. For its size it offers an amazing variety of authentic Chinese (and more) food, including non-gluten options if you know what to order (I did Shrimp Dumplings, Chicken Congee and Pad Thai). It’d be nice if allergens were listed on the menu like spice level, but I would’ve been shocked if they’d been there. And portion sizes were huge. Overall excited to try more from this place!
Hadn’t ordered from there in years after an initial bad experience. Decided to give it a try again after receiving a menu in the mail saying it had a new owner. Ordered egg drop soup, wonton soup, mu shu pork, combination rice noodles, and Peking duck for delivery. The food was delicious. Probably the best we’ve had in the last several years. We will order from there again.
