Had the lunch curry special, shrimp and pork dumplings, and hot and sour soup. The curry sauce was flavored well, although I got medium spice and think I would opt for a lower level if I were to let the curry stand out more. The chicken was delicious and extremely tender, although the vegetable portion of the dish was a mix of what seemed like frozen, stir-fried peas and carrots along with roughly chopped onions and green peppers, which were adequate, but nothing special. The fried rice was very standard but plain, even for “plain fried rice”, lacking eggs or even a bit of pork. The egg roll was ok, I can confirm some other reviews saying it was a bit dry, or the coating was thick. The soup was a little too vinegar forwards for my taste, and while I’m willing to entertain that I got a portion that was light with fillers, the lack of pork and general filler (tofu, mushrooms) was a bit disappointing, and I wasn’t particularly impressed by the fried noodles that went with it.
To end on a higher note though, the shrimp and pork dumplings were quite good, very clearly handmade, and easily the most unique and memorable part of my order. I’d love to try their other dumplings sometime, as well as their Singapore Rice noodles due to how good the chicken and curry sauce were, but I’ll pass on the soup and lunch special next time.
For comments unrelated to food, the restaurant itself was very clean, especially for a Chinese takeout place, and the service was extremely fast (though I did see that some of their specialty dumplings take a bit longer so I’d plan ahead for those whether you’re sitting in or picking up). A solid place to grab a quick lunch for someone in the area or, more likely, someone at GMU.

Best Chinese food I’ve had in nova so far! Crispy beef is soooo good. Dumplings are all handmade and delicious. My kid loved the lo mein because it wasn’t overly salty and all of the meat was soft (in a good way.) Biangbiang noodles were delicious, the spicy chili oil was perfect. Definitely our new go-to, will be back again!

Exceptional dining experience at this Chinese restaurant, tucked away in a neighborhood mall complex. The setting isn’t super fancy, but the food is genuinely authentic, packed with rich flavors, and presented beautifully. Portion sizes are generous, offering excellent value. The restaurant’s cleanliness stands out, and the staff provides prompt, attentive service. For anyone seeking high-quality Chinese cuisine in a cozy location, this spot is a true gem.

This small Chinese take out place is very quick at serving up their food. We got the shrimp fried rice as well as shrimp lo mein and they were both delicious. We will be back to try other options. Combination fried rice is good as well as the chicken cashew but. The flavors are delicious and the cashews crunchy. Mongolian beef is delicious here. The flavor is smoky with lots of onions.

We enjoyed dinner at this serenely decorated restaurant with its pale woods, textured walls, and strategically place plants. We were too hungry to be adventurous and try something from the main menu and ordered instead from the “standard” menu which offers tried and true favorites. But as I watched other entrees go by (that giant onion pancake!), I resolved to return and try out items from the main menu. We enjoyed the food we did order and appreciated the kind and helpful service. Tables are well-spaced and they have several circular tables ideal for family or office/friend groups. There’s plenty of free parking just outside. It’s a nice place and we will go again.

We had their food 1st time today because the ratings were so good. I have to say it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was very hot and fresh and the containers were filled to the top as they should be. Lots of sauce in the dishes that required them to be saucy. We found our new place to eat! EXCELLENT!!

I had been craving some biang biang noodles and heard Mama’s Taste was worth a go. As usual, I didn’t have much restraint and went with three items: spicy wontons, steamed shrimp dumplings, and biang biang noodles with beef.
My top pics were the biang biang noodles and the spicy wontons. The wontons were on the smaller side, but there were a good amount. Spicy, but slightly sweet oil/sauce. The noodles were similarly tingly, though they had more of a slight tartness to their spicy chili oil. I probably could have gone just noodles and veggies, but the sliced beef added in was tasty. The shrimp dumplings were good, especially with their sauce, but it was closer to a pork dumpling with a large piece of shrimp in it. I was thinking a filling more similar to a har gow. One thing… Those dumplings were JUICY and fresh.
My own personal issue… I want to try everything and when I go on my own, it gets expensive for one person. The three dishes (considering I had the beef add-on for the noodles) were just slightly over $40. Splitting with a group would work and I was quite stuffed for the rest of the day.

got a pickup order. the food was good quality, but seems they ignore spice levels that their online ordering system asks. all three items were completely bland.
