Young Chow Cafe Centreville

We were out and decided we wanted Chinese food and found this spot so stopped over. The owner, great. So friendly and while we waited for our food, we noticed she knew everyone coming in! We asked to alter our meals a bit and she said SURE! She was more than happy to accommodate to make the customer happy. Such great customer service and food was delicious. Well be back.

This is my favorite takeout place. I lived in the area for over 5 years and been ordering from here every time. I would call and the same incredibly nice lady picked up the phone and would know my family's order. I would recommend this restaurant to every neighbor I knew. I called today and maybe they have new owners or the restaurant is under new management. The food was a total disappointment. Dumpling sauce is tasteless now, the lo mein is colorless and tastes incredibly bland, sweet and sour chicken tastes different now, the sauce for it is also incredibly runny, used to be a nice sweet thick sauce. It breaks my heart that the quality has gone down this bad. I can no longer recommend this place. STAY AWAY till the quality comes back to what it used to be. Time to look for another take out restaurant.

Dinner Takeout review: we ordered 4 dishes. General tsos chicken, beef chow fun, Mongolian pork (small), and beef and broccoli (small). Food was ready for pickup in 15 minutes. Every dish was hot, flavorful, fresh, and a good texture. The meats were tender and moist. The veggies weren't mushy- they were well cooked. Everything was very well seasoned although the Chow fun was a little oily. Honestly this was pretty much the ideal Chinese takeout experience. Pretty good! This might be my new go to Chinese takeout spot.

My only issue with this local Chinese restaurant is that they don't deliver, but after speaking with the owner, I totally understand why. The delivery services out there are way too costly and will run a small, family owned business into the ground. I get that. The food here is amazing. I haven't eaten there in about to years since moving from Centreville but I will be going back this week because it's so hard to compete with their quality of food, attention to detail and freshness. I'll see you soon!

Young Chow has been my go to Chinese take out restaurant for over 10 years and the quality, taste, and portion sizes haven't changed a bit. I've tried most of their menu at this point and although some dishes might not be extraordinary, they still meet the standards. And the staples ones, out do themselves. They're very reasonably priced and the portion sizes are very large for the price. The owner is super sweet and the service is extremely quick(~10 min)

I love Young Chow. Every time I call in my order, the owner knows my husband's name and asks if he is going to be picking up. Talk about customer service! The owner knows that we love duck sauce, so she always loads our bag up with it. Our food is always piping hot when we get it home and delicious. I highly recommend this local take out spot.

The portions and the quality of the meat and vegetables were very good. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was clean, but I didn't eat inside. The Hunan Chicken was very good, but not a flavorful and spicy as I expected. I just need to work with the server to get the right amount of flavor/heat without burning my mouth. I will definitely be back, and I have neighbors that is this as their "go to" Chinese restaurant.

Only had their Singapore Rice Noodle and Hot & Sour Soup so far. Both tasted good.The owner always treats me nicely and the foods came out quick w/ decent quality. As a Chinese Carry-out restaurant, nothing I can complain so far.

Today my order included Hunan Pork (excellent as usual) and sweet & sour chicken. The chicken was basically chicken nuggets with a sweet sauce which had a couple pieces of pineapple floating in it. No carrots. No onions. No peppers. The few pieces of pineapple were drenched in sauce and too sickening sweet to consume. Fit for a toddler but NOT this adult. I called the restaurant in frustration. This is how they make it. I won't return. If I wanted nuggets, I'd go fast food.

I came here because I saw the good reviews this place had. I ordered the orange beef to-go, which came out to a whopping $23 and change with tax. This is a comparable price to higher-end chinese places in northern VA, like Mama Chang, Peter Chang, and Cheng's Asian House.First off, the beef was in huge chunks. I was expecting it to be shredded or thinly sliced, but no, they were just large chunks of beef. The beef itself was flavorless and tough. It seems like the beef was sliced with the grain instead of against the grain-leading to a very chewy and unpleasant texture. Additionally, the beef was practically swimming in the "orange" sauce. It was completely drenched it it and contributed to a soggy mess with absolutely no crispiness in the beef. I like extra sauce in my chinese takeout but even this was overkill. The orange sauce was incredibly, sickly sweet. I'm aware that americanized chinese food is supposed to be sweet but my goodness. I'm talking sweeter than Panda Express. The flavor is predominately just sugariness with no orange flavor or spice. For $23, this dish fell extremely short of my expectations. However, the employees are friendly.
