Located at the end of an alley, this little Chinese restaurant was a wonderful surprise. There are only two tables, so I was lucky to get one. I ordered Sesame Chicken with an extra charge for white meat ($14.95). It was perfectly prepared, crispy but not at all greasy. Lunch specials are $9.25 from Monday to Friday.

Surfing the web after 9PM looking for something open near Landmark in Alexandria. Came upon this carryout joint in Landmark Plaza, and it's open 'til 10PM. Egg Foo Yung on the menu sealed the deal for me. Hopped in the car and was there in minutes. The space was tidy and clean (no grunge here) and included a couple of tables for those who would dine in. Staff was friendly and accommodating (I was able to request my egg foo young with barbecued pork and shrimp omitting the chicken). My egg foo young had the right flavor and was bagged with the pancakes, sauce, and rice each packed in its own sealed container. I ate in the car. Everything was good 'and hot.The food hit the spot. My only criticism of the foo young was that it was so monochromatic -- pale brown. If they could have mustered just a few bits of chopped scallion greens for garnish, it would have made a big difference. Look at the photo of the egg foo young on their web site and you'll see what I mean. Pathetic. The other disappointment was dry rice, not hard yet, but at evening's end it was definitely getting a little dry. Not inedible, and I did eat it anyway. I will almost certainly go back one of these days, at least for egg foo young when the mood strikes, though I'm not much of a carryout guy. Cutting them a break and hoping for the best next time, I'm going to give this little carryout with the long menu (and even a few Thai offerings) 5 stars overall. Though it's just a carryout, it could easily compete with a full service restaurant, judging by my experience with their generous serving of egg foo young.

Dined in for lunch and service was quick - soup came immediately! The egg drop soup was delicious. When the walnut shrimp arrived I was surprised at how large the portion was - a welcome surprise. I'll definitely be back for carry out and dine-in. Though there are not many tables inside.

The food is good American Chinese food. The portions are normal American sizes. The hot and sour soup was fine. The egg roll was terrible. The chicken and broccoli was fine. The home style tofu also fine. The best dishes were the eggplant and the chicken with peppers in a black bean sauce. The shrimp egg foo young was also classic Americana. Fried rice also good. Overall a solid place to go for American Chinese food. There are not that many tables indoors and out and the atmosphere is perhaps more diner than restaurant. But they have a booth by the window, if you have anyone who loves a booth by the window. The money tree is also tall and in good shape. The staff are helpful and speak Chinese. There were many orders for takeout so this must be a regular spot for the locals.

Best Chinese food I’ve had in the DMV - I got the Singapore noodles, and they tasted very authentic! The service is so quick even for a walk in, and the prices are amazing given the food’s quality and quantity. If you’re looking for a great dinner choice, I would highly recommend this place. An oasis of great food at a great price in a maze of overcharging restaurants.

I’ve been looking for a Chinese carry out ever since I've moved to Virginia, and Ho's doesn't disappoint. Their service is great, the food is delicious, and their menu has tons of choices. I think the best bang for your buck is the triple delight, their sesame beef is also delicious! The best part is that you can get as many sauce packets as you need! As long as it's not abused I hope they keep it that way. Parking is tight, I've had to park on the street a couple of times. I've also only ordered for carry out, however they promote they have delivery.

Wow! The best sushi I've had in my 5 years in NoVa! The sushi is flavor packed and has great texture. This place should be jam-packed with people, but somehow isn't. This makes the service super fast and personalized. They add extra touches and do a great job checking in on us. Need to come back soon!

The best hole in the wall sushi in nova. We moved so it isn’t convenient anymore but every time we’re craving sushi we think about this place. The ambiance (or lack thereof) is what keeps this place a hidden gem…what looks like a gas station has fresh and very large sashimi and great rolls too…perfect for a big takeout order to take home to enjoy.

Wow jus wow the food here is absolutely delicious!!! You can taste the love and the owners are so sweet and kind. I orders the beef and broccoli and it was just so fresh.

Personally in my opinion the best Chinese food in Alexandria. Fast service. Great food. Great quality. Great quantity. My go toos, chicken broccoli, friend bean curd with veggies, fried rice.

My whole family loves their fried rice and orange chicken. Every time we what to eat Chinese food this is our place. They give you nice portions and the service is nice. The ladies in the front are always gentle and give us hot sauce and condiments when we request them.

The food here was good but the upcharges are a little high. We ordered chicken with fried rice and chicken and broccoli with fried rice. There is a $3 upcharge for any meat addition to the rice/ order. It more affordable to just order the side of pork/shrimp/ or chicken fried rice for $4.99 just as a heads up. Overall the food is good and service is quick.

i've had two really great experiences with Magic Wok: dining in two weeks ago - great atmosphere! the staff was very attentive and the food was delish!!! ordered delivery tonight and it arrived much sooner than expected and the food was amazing!

Prices are decent, but that’s where the “magic” ends. Kung Pao chicken was rather bland, was comprised of all dark meat with a strange texture, and was lacking any discernible heat despite being listed as a spicy dish on the menu. Dumplings were thick and chewy in a strange way. As far as atmosphere and service - there was a TV showing Fox News the entire time, and our server could not stop staring at the TV even when we got up to leave. Tacky at best, bordering on rude. With so many other places to eat in Alexandria it would be hard to justify another visit to this restaurant.

The sesame chicken was great. Very large portion of chicken and about 2 cups of rice.

always order delivery direct from the website, never had a problem. today when i placed my order they called me to add an additional $6 delivery fee even tho the delivery fee was already included. they said i live 10 minutes away and that’s why it’s $6 more. this has never happened to me and they were very rude saying “ u wanna cancel or pay up “ this used to be my go to chinese place. food isn’t even good enough to be 4 stars..

Place seemed Authentic so I gave it a try !! & I’m glad I did !!! I don’t get all these bad reviews with one stars it must’ve been the way they ordered or approached the hard working lady taking their order she took my order as Normally and fast, food was hot and tasted very authentic unlike other places that seem like they microwave their dishes !! Reading past reviews I assume her partner or family member was the one making the food and he did great !!! Definitely will be back !!! Respect and be respected !! I didn’t tip and regret it. I came in with high standards for the authenticity and it was worth it for sure.

We’ve only ordered delivery but it’s been great every single time! Hot and fresh. A friend came by and had some and said it’s the best in Alexandria. It’s our go to for quick delivery and great food.

Ordered combination fried rice… all of the meats were undercooked! Also, for Chinese fried rice, I think they need to understand Pint vs Quart!!

Don’t go here. Roach found in food and food does not have any seasoning very bland. do not recommend eating here

Saved our Christmas dinner :) Got the best rice noodles I’ve had in a while! We also tried the steamed dumplings and general tsao chicken (& fries) - thank you

They used to sell fresh and delicious dishes, but now the food quality is poor. It takes like if they have made it a day before. (A little stinky). Also, the lady who used to work before (mother in low?) was very kind, but the new lady at the front is very mean. Terrible customer service! If they don’t improve the food, the business will close.😖

A great place for a quick bite! Service is quick, food is tasty, and ordering is nice and simply. The passion mango black tea that is presently offered is a nice treat if you prefer something other than soda or water. Recommended Dishes: Orange Chicken, 1/2 & 1/2 (Fried Rice/Chow Mein), Beijing Beef. One note of caution is that the food tends to taste better at lunch than at dinner. This may be due to more traffic at lunch time, meaning the food is fresher. Things can be hit and miss at dinner time.

Ordered via Grubhub. Fast service, ease of use, good food.
