Fat Dragon Chinese Kitchen and Bar · Scott's Addition
A Chinese kitchen and bar on Arthur Ashe Boulevard, named first for Chinese food in Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll. Its Scott's Addition setting puts it among the district's cluster of breweries and industrial-turned-dining spaces.
Peter Chang · Scott's Addition
The Richmond kitchen of chef Peter Chang, known for dry-fried eggplant and a heavy hand with Sichuan peppercorn. Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll placed it second for Chinese food, and the chef now runs a second Richmond-area location as well.
Mr. Noodle · West End
A West End storefront that has cornered the market on hand-pulled noodles in Henrico since late 2024, per a dedicated Style Weekly review. Richmond Magazine's May 2026 global-dining roundup also named it among the metro's newer international kitchens worth seeking out.
Beijing On Grove · Westhampton
A Grove Avenue Chinese restaurant that continues a family business dating to the early 1980s, when the owner's father took over Peking, a popular Chinese restaurant that had operated in the same space. Richmond Magazine named it third-place Chinese in its 2025 poll.
Hunan East · West End
A West Broad Street Chinese restaurant specializing in Hunan cooking, named third for Chinese food in Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll. It gives the West End a spicier, more regional counterpoint to the corridor's other Chinese kitchens.
