Young Chow Cafe

My Mom was in the hospital and could only have clear broth to eat. I ordered a small bowl of wonton soup with no wontons and only the broth. When I can to pick it up, they gave it to me free of charge as a holiday gesture. After spending the entire day at the hospital with my mom, I was exhausted… This random act of kindness in my day, and honestly made me cry. Thank you to the restaurant for making a sad person, smile. And the soup broth was delicious!

Definitely the best Chinese restaurant in the Haymarket/Gainesville area. Food: it taste freshly made and you can actually taste the authentic flavor of the dish. It’s not all salt/oil/sugar like other Chinese restaurants. Their rice is also the freshest. Their food quality is great. Parking: plenty of parking Restaurant ambience: I’ve only done takeout but the place is clean and well-maintained. Customer Service: if I could give 100 stars I would. The owner is just so lovely and nice. When my husband does the food pickup and has our toddler with him, the owner goes out of her way to help him open the door, etc. the owner also gave me a few extra fortune cookies for my toddler when I asked for just a couple LOL. She’s super nice! Delivery: they unfortunately don’t have delivery service yet (as far as I know). I wish they would be in doordash or something..

This place is great!! I had a great time enjoying a variety of their dishes. The Pork Fried Rice was tasty, and the Lo Mein had a nice mix of flavors. The Mongolian Beef had a nice grilled flavor that added to its appeal, and the Spring Rolls were crispy and filled well. The Wonton Soup was comforting. The Sweet and Sour Pork had a good balance of flavors, and the Chinese BBQ Ribs were tender and had a nice smoky taste. It was a satisfying meal overall.

Surprisingly good for a little Chinese-Thai restaurant in a strip mall. We had stopped at Haymarket, VA to charge up my car's battery, and we decided to have dinner. Google Maps suggested the Young Chow Cafe. It had good reviews, and the reviews were well deserved. The space was clean and neat. The decor was basic but pleasant. The menu gave plenty of choices. I had my usual Chinese meal, house chow mein. It was delicious. My wife and daughter both enjoyed their meals. If you're in Haymarket, VA around mealtime and if you like Chinese or Thai cuisine, Young Chow Cafe is fine. I recommend it.
