Judy's Sichuan Cuisine

What a disappointing end to what had been a great number of visits to the Chesapeake location over the years. In addition to making this our annual New Years dinner spot, we had been frequenting the establishment at least monthly for lunch or dinner. I called for a 5:30 reservation for 4 and was told that it wasn't needed, just walk in. We arrived and were seated within minutes. Our order was taken within 10 minutes of arrival and included soup, 2 appetizers, and 4 entrees. The first to arrive was the cold pickled vegetables, followed by the hot and sour soup. Our lettuce wrap appetizer hadn't yet arrived, but they brought my entree. Then they filled my daughter's sprite with water and failed to bring a fresh sprite. Our waitress passed by multiple times without checking on us and avoided eye contact. I had to verbally get her attention and explained that my entree arrived 10 minutes ago and we're still waiting on our appetizer. Then inquired about my daughter's drink. Rather than apologize, the waitress became defensive and then verbally aggressive, making poor excuses and ultimately stating that they're busy, so deal with it. And you'll get your food in the order that it's made, when it's made. 30 minutes went by (from my entree being delivered) before our appetizer came out. My kids entrees followed shortly after, but lot my wife's meal. Her tofu dish with a side of white rice still wasn't out an hour after my entree was served. Meanwhile, tables that came after us were seated and eating their meals. Plenty of "to go" and "take out" orders were constantly being brought out, but not our food. One of the kitchen wait staff actually tried to clean our table and box up our meals only to nonchalantly blow it off when we said we're still waiting on an entree. I honestly feel like they intentionally delayed our order after I respectfully made an inquiry into our meal order and that entrees shouldn't come before appetizers. No one, to include the owner checked on us during our meal. A visit that ended up taking 2 hours. No discount, no apology, no acknowledgement, nothing. We didn't even get a friendly look as we departed, what I did get was a cold, emotionless expression and they hurried around me. I was certainly expecting something after my entree went back to the kitchen (untouched) for boxing at the end of the meal. 2 hours later and I'm still blown away by her demeanor and lack of professionalism. I honestly felt like this was a "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit" lesson from her and the owner. What a disappointment. I'll look for a restaurant that values my business and the traditional order or food brought out to the table and the timeliness of things brought together.

Stopped in for a team lunch (10 people) and was quickly sat at a large table with a really cool lazy Susan that is used to drop off food / drinks and pass around.The lunch menu covers the appetite of most for a Chinese lunch and the prices were reasonable coming in at $12 - $16 including a spring roll or soup.The food was good - nothing out of the ordinary or being star studded. I did find it odd that everyone's meal came out at different times so literally some people waited 10 mins from the time they got their meal to the time the last meal was received at the table. Three stars for the just being basic (and while I love basic), I do appreciate eating when my meal is warm and when all the parties have gotten their food.

After trying several Chinese restaurants around the area and being disappointed, I asked friends for a recommendation. They said Judy's is the best in the area, so we gave it a try. They were right! I haven't had really good Chinese food in so long. I was really excited to see they had xiao long bao on the menu! It was delicious and flavorful, and I loved them. Nowhere else around here has them. I'll absolutely be back!

I know, I know, I usually brag about how good the Hot and Sour Soup is here. Well guess what, I'm going to do it again. Judy's Sichuan Cuisine has the best Hot and Sour Soup in the area. Okay, now that that is out of my system I'll continue with my review... did I mention the Hot and Sour Soup? Just kidding...Judy's has some really great food. We were recently here with a rather large group of our friends and we got to use the big round table with the Lazy Susan. It is great for sharing dishes. My friends really like spicy food, well most of them like it and Judy's kitchen staff knows how to step up the heat, if you ask them. We all had a great experience here and I'm already planning my next visit.

This was my first time trying Judy's and let me tell you how AMAZING my food was. I ordered shrimp fried rice, vegetable lo- mein and general tso's chicken. EVERYTHING was fresh and jammed packed with flavor. I loved that the General Tso's chicken had a kick to it, the lo-mein was perfect and they weren't stingy with the shrimp in the fried rice. I would definitely recommend this place and I'll be back possibly tomorrow !! The service was great as well !

Great, clean spot for some hangover curing food. The dining room is spacious and there are tables for large parties and a few booths. Service was very fast and friendly, although our server did look alarmed at the amount of food two small girls ordered. We got soup dumplings (9/10), scallion pancake (10/10), wontons in chili oil (10/10) and fried rice noodles with steak (8/10-personal preference, my GF loved it). Hot tea was loose leaf brewed and delicious as well. We will be back.

Great restaurant. Good food. Decent service.I've had the general Taos chicken with white rice, and really was not impressed. What I LOVE though, is the fried lamb, with white rice, and the scallion pancakes. They could do some work on the sauce, but the pancake itself is really good. Decor is nice. It seems to be the "go to" for family Chinese dining. As well it should be. I recommend, highly suggest you go during lunch, for more cost effective options.

I went here to dine alone and they were able to sit me down within minutes of coming in. There isn't a sign in the front to whether you sit yourself or wait but a woman made eye contact across the room and greeted me and walked me to my table. I've been craving soup dumplings and I heard this place had it so I ordered that plus shrimp fried rice. That wasn't on the menu or at least it's not an option on the menu but they were able to make it. Ambiance was wonderful. Not overly crowded and loud which was nice.

Not sure what happened to this place because it used to be good food and service but the food and service has really gone down hill. The duck was dry with bone fragments in each bite so be careful if you order the duck. The ribs tasted as if they were boiled (not fried) and tossed in a flavorless sauce. They were dry with bone fragments in each bite as well. The scallion pancake tasted like the oil they fried it in hadn't been changed in a while and there was no onion flavor. We did not eat either dish and the owner came over to clear our full plates and never asked about our meal. We're not going back.

The food is really fresh doesn't taste frozen or precooked. They have a great variety of food and wonderful service.
