XO Taste Restaurant

Delicious Cantonese food and good service. We ordered the fried spicy squid, chicken pan fried noodles, BBQ roast pork and the sizzling short ribs in black pepper sauce. I also ordered the HK wonton noodle soup which totally satisfied my craving. It took a little while for us to receive our menus but once seated and when they were given to us it only took a matter of minutes to get our food. Every dish was absolutely delicious. Good amounts of fat on the BBQ roast pork and spare ribs. This place is kid-friendly with highchairs available. There are men and women restrooms but no changing tables in either one. Highly recommend!

Food is decent. I been here a total of 3 times and they are pretty consistent. The eggplant with the paste was not good. The mapo tofu was not that great. But the other dishes was decent and well prices. Oh they need to remodel the men stall's height to actually cover something.

A tad above average for your authentic Cantonese Chinese food. Their BBQ meats (hanged meats from the display) were pretty good actually! Tried their roast pig and roast pork. The roast pig skin was crispy and the roast pork had good amounts of fat to balance out the overall taste. Their crab meat, dried scallop fried right was average. There are better places out there. Price is reasonable and service was attentive. Would come back again.

Hungry and wanting some Chinese I decided to try out XO Taste Restaurant. I ordered Ginger Scallion Chicken on Rice Lunch with a side order of Fried Crab Rangoon. I ordered it via Grubhub. The delivery was on time and the driver was polite. But the second I took the order inside I realized the Fried Crab Rangoon was NOT with the order. There were Egg Rolls but no Crab Rangoon. So I reported this fact to Grubhub and they checked with their driver to see if, for some reason, she had it. She didn't so they decided they would give me a refund on the Crab Rangoon. Oh well. At least I had the rest of the order. And they had sent, with the order, sauce packets, chopsticks, and the works. So I started on the Chicken. Which was mostly, to my surprise, about one fifth bone. And rest of what was NOT bone was about a fifth skin and, finally, the rest that was left was chicken meat. Sometimes tough, cold, and with hidden tiny bones. But it was chicken meat. The lettuce that came with the chicken was limp and tasteless. At least the Egg Rolls were good. So, after pulling apart much of the chicken pieces to get at the meat and not choke on a bone, I decided at least I had the rice. And was halfway through it before I found what looked like a hair. So....I tossed the rest of the rice away and am now still hungry and, even with the refund, wasted about 13 dollars on food I didn't really enjoy. The most horrible experience I have ever had with delivery food. Will never order from them again.

Five stars. More than just a Chinese food spot. Vibe is pretty traditional, but food is delicious, with some outstanding notables. For example, the best crab ragoon, ever. Literally best I’ve ever had. The server brought it with some sweet sauce, and mustard, on the side, and though I was surprised, trust me, and trust them, they know what they’re doing. That with some hot and sour soup makes an awesome combination, I’m salivating just thinking about it. Can’t wait to have it again. We also had the seafood fried rice which was exceptional, and the duck, which was excellent. Service was spot on, very professional. Management came to check on us and we had nothing but nice things to say. The fact that the game was on the tv in the back didn’t hurt either...

Best Cantonese Food in this area: Always my favorite place for Cantonese food. BBQ pork and duck are amazing. Best wonton noodle in Virginia. Must try is the Intestine with Sour Cabbage. Forgot to take the picture, I will take one next time.

Great Chinese BBQ, recommended, will come back. Grew up in HK, loved Chinese food and having lived in the Bay Area, I was disappointed to not see many Chinese restaurants at Northen Virginia. This place was really good. Surprised that the roasted pork had really crispy skin. The BBQ pork was good too but wished it were fattier personally. We ordered another dish the fillet fish and veggies. That was alright. We came during lunch so these were all lunch specials so the price was very reasonable. Both items came with soup. Customer service was great. One of the waiter saw that my tea was very dense, and he swapped it out with a fresh pot of tea. That was great that he noticed. I would come back to try the dinner menu. Excited about this HK style restaurant! Learned that this spot has been around for 10+ years.

Delicious silky pork and duck egg congee. And also beside it is the roast duck/chicken combo :) I will definitely come again. The food reminds me of the food in the cantonese restaurants in nyc except the ambience here is so much nicer!
