Reviews Cheng's Asian House

I visited most recently on a Thursday evening to get some comfort takeout. The ordering online went rather smoothly, and my order was waiting for me when I arrived a couple of minutes after the stated time. The ability to customize your order for spice level, added proteins or veggies, salt level, and the like works well for me mostly. The service routinely looks like what you would expect from a family-run establishment. Try to time your order so you are waiting on the food rather than the food waiting on you so your order retains its freshness and thermal heat. I ordered hot and sour soup, steamed dumplings, stir fry with vegetables (adding shrimp), and both the mango mousse and chocolate mousse cakes. The soup portion was satisfying with a milder spice level as I requested. The dumplings felt and tasted house made. The stir fry has a generous protein portion and crisp veggies without a lot of excess sauce. Both flavors of mousse cake provides a welcome finish instead of the stereotypical fortune cookie, as the mousse proved smooth while the cake remained relatively moist. Prices seemed reasonable for the Chantilly area and provide a good value. I consider Cheng’s as one of the better places for Chinese eats in their neighborhood.

Amazing food, amazing staff. Everyone is kind and cares about their diners. They have options for vegetarians, though if you want to sample their menu you may have to ask for custom orders. They also have a well labled menu of gluten free options. They also give huge portions, which match their 12-15 dollar prices. If you're not a big eater, you'll be taking home leftovers for sure! (And if you are, you'll likely enjoy this place a lot lol)

The food is pretty good. I do not feel that they use much MSG. Service is nice , esp the owner is very friendly. Flambe is a must try.

I found Cheng's through yelp, and decided to visit on a Sunday night. I normally go to Maryland to get my Chinese fix, and was excited to find this place that is closer to the Fairfax area. The restaurant had a very solid stream of patrons seated, and coming in for take out. They also had a tiki bar, which was different but looked fun. It was our first time here and I wanted to order some dishes I was familiar with. We ordered the Beef noodle soup, the three pepper chicken, spicy fish hot pot (we ordered the small, but it was fairly large imo), and salt and pepper shrimp/scallop (which they call "Scallop and Shrimp with Spices". Everything came out fairly quickly. The food also came with a large bowl of rice to share. Everything either met or exceeded my expectations. The standouts were the beef noodle soup and spicy fish hot pot. The three pepper chicken was a little saltier than I would have liked but it was fine when eaten with rice. The service was also wonderful. We were checked on multiple times by several people to make sure everything was okay. All the employees were more than welcoming. Would definitely return to try more things on the menu.

Both of the dishes we ordered were amazing. We ordered scallion pancake, which was very nice. Service was solid. We were very comfortable sitting in the restaurant.

Great place for authentic taiwanese food. The boss of the place is very friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious. We ordered three dishes: fried pork chopswith garlic, sautéed edamame with pork and pickled snow cabbage, and killing me spicy taiwenese flies head. Flies head is a really authentic taiwanese dish that uses fermented black bean. There are no flies in the dish. All in all very delicious. Not all waiters speak English. If you need more assistance, ask for an English speaking waiter. Most of the speak fluent mandarin and the owner also speaks fluent cantonese. It was a pleasure to find a jewel like this place and to be able to eat some authentic taiwanese food that I miss so much. I suggest ordering from the chef gourmet menu.
