We just ordered and the amount of food for the price is very convenient. As for the food it tasted very amazing. I got the chicken lo mein and general ts chicken. Beyond full I can still feed 2 more people. Mind you I got the lunch special! They were quick to deliver.

I want to share my experience about the China Cafe located at 1039 West Glebe Road Alexandria VA, 22305. I went into the restaurant, and order Beef Lomein lunch special, and Orange Chicken lunch special. The price was great. The Beef lomein was not Beef. The texture and the taste upset my stomach immediately. The Orange Chicken was extremely dry. I was too far away to take the food back and inquire about a refund. The Beef was so bad, that I'm going to contact the health department to see if they are using actual Beef, or something else!!! I do not like criticizing business because everyone needs to earn a living. But please, do the right thing. If it's not Beef, just say Something Lo mein.

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!

VERY good Chinese food. Probably some of the best Chinese food in the DMV. This is coming from someone who’s had a lot of Chinese food in NY and has high standards. The food is fresh, tasty. Price is definitely good for this area. Portions are above average. I’ve had a couple shrimp dishes which are usually an indicator of whether the place is using cheap ingredients or not. Shrimp that came with my udon noodles were huge, plentiful, obviously fresh. Gentleman who works in the back is very nice. Also open late which is a huge plus as every other Asian restaurant in town closes by about 10 or 11. Please note the place is behind 7/11 inside the four mile food company building.

Nice staff but terrible experience ordering from this "restaurant" that took 1.5+ hrs and someone stole my order even while I was already waiting there for my food. Do not pick up. Only do delivery. Half of my order was wrong but the correct portion was good. I ordered on Uber Eats for pick up and spent over 20 min trying to find the "restaurant" in a somewhat sketchy area near a gas station at night. I tried calling the restaurant multiple times to get directions, which were poorly explained. Turns out this is not a physical restaurant - you have to go to the Uber Eats pick up waiting locker room behind the 7/11 where there are multiple "restaurants" but they only put your order in a locker for pick up. By the time I arrived my food should've already been ready but it took over an hour for them to finally get my food - I had to call multiple times and they started avoiding my calls. And even when they told me my food would be ready, they ended up giving it away to somebody else. The staff member had to deliver it later on and was very apologetic nearly another hour later. Half the food order was completely wrong but the part that was correct was good. *** Gave this another try with delivery and they got the order right this time. Food was really good, especially kung Pao chicken and lo mein.
