About this place
Chinatown Restaurant in Winchester offers a dynamic dining experience, presenting authentic Asian cuisine in a casual, contemporary setting. The restaurant, which first opened in 1981, initially focused on Chinese cuisine but expanded its offerings significantly with the return of Chef and Owner Ming Chan in 1996. A graduate of Virginia Tech, Ming has spent decades refining family recipes and introducing new ones, meticulously developing each dish before adding it to the menu. The expanded menu now includes Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese dishes, alongside a full-service sushi bar. Commitment to quality is paramount, with Ming sourcing non-GMO, organic grass-fed beef and grain-fed pork from local family farms. For seafood, only wild-caught domestic shrimp are used to ensure sustainability and quality. During the summer, Ming actively seeks out the freshest produce from farmers' markets, even collaborating with local farms to grow specific vegetables for the restaurant, and utilizes organic free-range eggs from a local farm. Signature dishes include Steak Chinese Style, Sichuan Udon Noodles, Seafood Imperial, Crispy Yummy, and Green Curry. The establishment also boasts a notable wine selection. Chinatown has been an integral part of the Winchester community for over thirty years, distinguishing itself as an elite dining destination known for its quality food and superior customer care. Reviewers often praise the exceptional service, diverse menu (including highly-rated sushi and NY Strip Chinese Style), and the inviting atmosphere, noting it's not typical Chinese-American fare. Many consider it the best Chinese food they've had, with generous portions suitable for multiple meals.
