This is my local go-to place for Chinese food. Don't judge the food by the restaurant decor, which is minimal and underwhelming. Most of the business is delivery. Like most restaurants, they have an extensive menu. But unlike most Chinese restaurants, where most of the dishes tend to taste the same (at least in my opinion), Fu Leen Palace offers dishes with distinctive flavors. The General Tso's Chicken is one of my favorites of all the places in the area - not especially spicy, but always crisp under a flavorful sauce. The Beef and Broccoli is always good, well-balanced between pieces of tender, thin beef and broccoli florets, which are always a perfect balance between tender and crisp - never overly mushy. The Mei Fun is also great - a huge portion cooked well, if you don't like dishes with heavy sauces; this also reheats well. I also love their Moo Goo, Chicken and Cashews, Orange Beef, Mu Shu Pork, and String Beans, but I've never had anything bad there. Occasionally, their white rice can be a little dry and their Sweet and Sour dishes aren't always crispy, but I've been eating at/from Fu Leen Palace for 20+ years and am impressed by their consistency, in addition to food which is above the baseline for Chinese takeout. Their prices are very reasonable, having increased modestly in the past 5 years. Delivery is usually very fast, unless it's a peak mealtime. If you have a big appetite, 3 or more people to feed, or just love Chinese leftovers, I recommend the Family Meal, which is a great value if you plan to order 3-4 dishes, anyway. In addition, be sure to take a look at the special meals/chef's specials - most of them are very good. Also, check out the lunch specials, which are usually available until 2 or 3pm. Located near Ft. Eustis, Fu Leen Palace is definitely worth checking out for quick, flavorful Chinese dishes prepared well and offered in...
