Mama Chang Fairfax Reviews
This was my first time here.
I came on a weekday for lunch, so it wasn't very busy. However, I did drive by here on a Sunday and it was packed. Their food seems to be on the authentic side based on the menus and dishes. They didn't have the Americanized dishes that wou

Unusual location but well-decorated with ample seating and space. Service was relatively quick on a Monday night. They accommodated us bringing our own cake for a birthday. Most importantly the food was all good. Just shy of great. Had the: Scallion
Everything we ordered was delicious.
The service was great. They made good suggestions. The restaurant was very clean. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their dishes. The highlights were the peking duck, sauteed snow pea tips, and green beans. We were celebrating a fri

The service was quick and nice, the food was delicious - highly recommend the dumpling and pepper chicken. The noodles were okay - not spicy more tangy flavor.
Much better than expected
My second trip here. Both at dinner time. Parking was plentiful, free and readily accessible. Service was friendly and efficient. The menu was lengthy and quite varied. I enjoyed the small dinner plate of Lycee chicken. Exceptional flavors, just e

Mama Chang is definitely one of the better Chinese restaurant around the area, I've always had a good time whenever I go. For the food, I got pecking duck alongside many dimsum dish. They were all really well made and seasoned very well. The w

This is a review for Peter Chang franchises not particularly this branch. Earlier days, Peter Chang felt like a fresh breeze in the dull authentic Chinese food scene in DMV, and I especially appreciated their effort to educate and promote authentic
Got recommended by the local friends.
The environment is pretty nice, the service is pretty on point, everyone is super friendly, not like the waiters in Seattle. The food is bomb, portion is good, price is fair, taste is authentic. Will be back, say less
Great ambience and good food.
A must visit local restaurant. We go there quite frequently.
Was not a fan of this place.
Maybe my expectations were too high. It didn't help that the server was inexperienced. Also it was not the Hong Kong style dim sum that I was expecting.

Ambiance: modern decor with a lot of windows and natural light. Light wood throughout with plants. Service: very attractive waitress. She came by to check and and made sure we had beers when we are low. Food came out pretty fast on a busy Friday eve
Don't Believe Everything You Read
Having reading the glowing reviews my wife and I went to Mama Chang's with great expectations/ Boy, were we disappointed as we expected an upscale experience to reflect the upscale prices. First, the restaurant had an industrial vibe, the noise
Can't wait to eat here again!
We were looking for more authentic Chinese food and found it here. The food was delicious and interesting, with both more authentic and more typical American Chinese dishes. The service was fast and attentive, the decor was modern and welcoming.
Generally good not this time
Service is generally top notch but we had to go to hostess after a long wait to get a server. Food was good, not up to its usual above average. Maybe they were worn out from the holidays?
Consistently good
Can never fault service or food Always well prepared.One of the few restaurants I know I can recommend and not be afraid others will be disappointed A few different selections from other Peter Chang restaurants
The food is really yummy; however, this place is pricy.
Be prepared to spend a lot of $$. Food came out fast and it is a clean restaurant with plenty of parking.
I ate dinner here last night with some friends.
All of our dishes looked delicious. I had chive and seafood dumplings with a spicy beef noodle soup. For me I think the soup could be more flavorful and spicy. However, I would go back again!
Really unhappy that the menu did not indicate that the
Really unhappy that the menu did not indicate that the Sichuan green pepper fish was a soup with glass noodles! I wouldn't have ordered it had I known! Service here has gone downhill. No smiles, no follow up to our table.

The place was pretty nice, quiet where you can talk to your friends without having to scream over loud music. Staff was attentive. We went there for my friend's birthday. They don't have special for the celebrations but they did give us the pineapple

I went to Mama Chang's for the dimsum brunch with my girl friends, and I was seriously impressed! It was packed - which was expected for a weekend, and we had a little bit of a wait time, but it was worth the wait. We ordered a lot of dimsum. I don
Fabulous food! Dim sum on the weekends too.
I wanted every item on the menu. Diverse offerings.

I think the food was a solid 4, but service was a 1, hence my 3 star review. Stopped by for dinner with a group of 8 folks last night and service was honestly. We had to constantly flag down the server because she would listen to one thing out of 5 a
Very attractive restaurant and the service is ok.
The food that we had on the other hand was very, very average. What is it with the really bad trend from trendy new Chinese places that DON'T serve rice with entrees, especially when you're spending $30+ a dish? It's borderline offensive in my book

4/5 Recently came with friends and we had so many different small plates to share. My favorite is the scallion pancake. The presentation is fun as it comes puffed into a ball. The Grandma sizzling pork belly is a MUST. Service is great, ambiance is
I like the ambience of the restaurant.
Definitely somewhere where you can come for a date or a large group for a special occasion. We like praise pork belly and egg dish, the crispy fried cauliflower, and a beef chow fun. I don't think I've ever had something here that I don't like. Ther
MAMA’S BACK!
Several years ago, we visited Mama Chang’s just as the world was emerging from the COVID nightmare. We weren’t disappointed, but Mama didn’t shine the way she did during our first visit (see prior review). Well, we visited again last week, and
It’s OK
Food was variable. From good to mediocre. General Taos chicken was way over cooked with not much taste. Hot sour soup was good Spring rolls ok. Chicken with vegetables again just ok. For the price expected all dishes to be very good
Just OK
Came here for lunch after I read article just released proclaiming this to be a top premier restaurant in the DC area. Spring Rolls were delicious, pan fried seafood dumpling - ok, Ordered the combo Lo Mein and the noodles were quite tasty but protei
Excellent food
We go to this restaurant pretty frequently because it’s one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Some of our favorites include the bubble scallion pancake, pork soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and the hand pulled noodles with beef . Servi

I think this was my third time dining at Mama Chang and it just gets better every time. I came here with a group of 6 girls and we got 6 dishes, two being sides and we had to take leftovers home. Service here is extremely efficient and the food comes
Worth the hype and great ambiance.
Mama Chang us located in a huge shopping center with ample parking. The restaurant itself was pretty big with ample seating but service was a bit slow on a Wednesday evening. We got the rib soup, pepper beef tenderloin, three cup chicken, snow pea

While dining at Mama Chang, we ordered the half Peking duck, but it resembled more of a roast duck. Upon comparing our dish to various images of Peking duck, it appeared they might have substituted a cheaper duck but charged us the Peking duck price.

Between 3 and 4 stars but lean towards 4 cause the food was not bad. Ordered fried rice combination, seafood stone pot, Bao bbq dumplings, crab& pork soup dumplings. The price was not cheap but the food was not bad. I didn't feel completely ri

Be ready for a wait if you don't have reservations.
But it goes pretty quickly. Food portions are good. It's good, I wouldn't say great. But given the slim true authentic Cantonese choices around the area & close to home, I'll definitely go here.

Came for a Valentine's dinner on a weekday night, and it was quite busy. Thankfully we made a reservation so we got seated quickly, highly recommend making a reservation beforehand to skip the busy queue. The inside of the restaurant was decorated wi
The food here is very good.
The prices are not cheap but reasonable. Some things we didn't like: 1. Kitchen closes an hour before their closing time which is very odd. We came in at 845on a day where they close at 10pm. We ordered our food and it came out slightly before 9pm.

When we first entered Mama Chang's restaurant we couldn't get over how loud it was. They need something on the ceiling to deaden the loud noise. No ambiance AT ALL. It felt like a high school cafeteria. We ordered two dishes that we thought were

AMAZING! Best Chinese food you've ever had! Wait staff are wonderful. Our family loves the food and we come quite often.
Quality Chinese in Fairfax
This restaurant has many authentic Chinese dishes as well as the fare you would expect to see at an American Chinese restaurant. The service is always fast and efficient and everything is always well executed. Recommend the duck egg roll appetizer.
BEST CHINESE ever!!
Second time eating here and it’s the best Chinese food I’ve EVER had. The first time was with 5 people and we shared numerous dishes and all were delicious. Today, I took a friend and he and I split Lychee Pepper Chicken (saw a plate go by and
Different Dim Sum experience
Spacious restaurant in Fairfax that features an extensive dim sum menu. I would describe it as a slight upgrade to the typical dim sum fare in terms of presentation but at a slightly higher price point. There are no dim sum carts here and there is
Didn't care for the fusion menu.
I was looking for traditional Chinese food because we lack very good Chinese cuisine in Fairfax (like Peking Gourmet in Falls Church, for example).
Decent food but overpriced
Decent food, good service and modern atmosphere, but a bit overpriced for Chinese food. We ordered four items and my favorite was the hot and sour soup with duck. Was it worth $8? No. We came here to check out all the hype, but I don’t see us di

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mama Chang Fairfax at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mama Chang Fairfax page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Mama Chang Fairfax to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mama Chang Fairfax!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
