Chang Xing Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

I wish I had read the reviews first. I normally order from another Chinese restaurant but they were closed so I chose to DoorDash from here because the pictures looked good and I had heard good things. The first thing I tried was an egg roll and this egg roll had the oddest smell and taste, I’m not sure what was up with it but I couldn’t get over the smell and only made it through a bite before throwing it away, it was just off. We also ordered the cheese wontons which were overcooked so the dough was very chewy and the creamy filling sort of evaporated, also not finished. My bf got the sweet and sour pork so I snagged a bite and they were pretty good, decent flavor and cooked well. He also got the fried pork wontons which were also good and cooked well, he lucked out on his meal. For an entree I got the chicken mein fun and that saved the whole meal for me, the mein fun had mushrooms which I had never seen before and the flavor was amazing, I was so happy about that dish that I disregarded the 2 disappointments before hand. Overall I’ll give them a 3 star since the mein fun was outstanding and the pork dishes were good. I will give them another shot in the future, maybe earlier in the day since this was nine o clock at night and just assumed they had...

It's not a bad place if you're in the area, not a great place either. The restaurant was nice and clean. The service was okay. You ordered, paid, and picked up from a counter in the back. Wait time on the food was good for what we ordered, and portion to price was also good. Some of the food we received was not that good. The general Tso's chicken consisted of sauce covered overcooked dry chicken. I also asked the cook to make it spicy, really spicy, and it had no heat. The fried rice was lacking some flavor as well. The egg rolls were on point, though! My culinary companion enjoyed their garlic shrimp, so maybe some of the other menu items are much better. I have to say, for some reason, they put all our food in to go bags and containers, even though we were eating in. Like I said, not bad, not good, just okay. I will definitely go back for some egg rolls and try another menu item out. If your in the area give them a try and see...

When we first moved to the area, Chang Xing quickly became a staple in our house for classic American Chinese food. Their dumplings were phenomenal and their crab rangoons were perfectly serviceable, even if they weren’t the best around. Their other food never failed to satisfy the Chinese takeout cravings. However, the last 2 times we’ve eaten here, we’ve been very disappointed.

On our last order, the dumplings were more like microwaved potstickers you could find in any frozen aisle than the ones I used to unreasonably crave, and the crab rangoon wontons were completely raw, leaving them chewy and tough. The rest of the food was fine, but not as good as it used to be. I don’t ask for much out of my Chinese takeout, just to be as decent as a mall food court or Panda Express, especially when it comes to simple things like frying wontons.

It’s sad to say, but I think we’ll be sticking with some of the other options around here...
