Me and my husband really meal over here, we're eat whole duck with 2 styles, snow pea tips stir fried and stringbeen stir fried with szechuan style ( little spicy ). They're all delicious. Service is perfect, decorate soft and warm like American style. We'll come back.

Family run business here, I always drive by this place since I was a kid but it was first time entering it in 20+ years of living in the area. Went for my brother's birthday and family Lunar New Year celebration and enjoyed the experience. Small space but doesn't feel cramp or overcrowded, the service is nice and the workers are extremely friendly and helpful, also funny. Food was great, ordered Peking duck, lo mein, chicken, beef and broccoli, just multiple options for the family. Honestly can't go wrong, think the soup might just be bland, but I prefer savory items. Will definitely come visit again in the future, disappointed I haven't been here before!

My experience with Chinese food growing up in the 80s was largely based on dining in Maryland and occasional foreys to NOVA with my parents. Then I moved to the Seattle area in the early 2000s and discovered Sichuanese Chinese food. I learned how cuisine in China is so regionally diverse with distinctive flavors and cooking techniques. One of my favorite dishes is very difficult to prepare and requires disciplined dedication to the art. Peking duck! I'm grateful to have finally dined at Duck Chang's. Next year is their 50th anniversary and the 2nd generation owner, Peter Chang, continued the legacy started by his father. The family restaurant has been at this location since the beginning and that is amazing! The restaurant is well kept and clean. The decor gives a sense of stepping into a family restaurant with a portrait of Peter's father hanging on the wall in honor of this legacy. Peter is charming and attentive to his patrons. We felt welcomed and well taken care while dining there. I've been making smoked duck every Thanksgiving for the past 3 years. So I love eating duck! At Duck Chang's, the menu has a wide variety of duck dishes. If I lived in NOVA, I would be trying every one of these dishes. This time, I had to have the Peking duck and duck soup. The soup arrived first and it was so flavorful. Better than the duck soup I've had at HK BBQ Master near Vancouver, British Columbia! People in the Pacific NW regularly say the duck soup there is the best, but Duck Chang's surpasses it. Once the Peking duck was served, we saw how expertly cut it was and the presentation was inducing some serious mouth watering. I opened the lid holding the wraps and was amazed to learn these were all handmade wraps. Even the sauce was made painstakingly from scratch. The duck itself was so well done, balancing flavor, crisp skin, and tender meat. It is easily among the best Peking duck I've ever had! There is no pretentiousness here at Duck Chang's. Peter is down-to-earth and understands well that this tradition passed down to him may become a lost art in the future. Hard working immigrants started this restaurant and their son has honored the legacy of this cuisine along with his staff. I highly encourage people who are reading this review and haven't had eaten at Duck Chang before to give it a try. Duck is so popular in other parts of the world, but isn't widely eaten in the U.S. because of how much space is needed compared to chicken. But duck is a superior poultry with a deep rich flavor with more dark meat. Peking duck is one of the elevated duck dishes to experience and it's great to have other duck dishes to partake in at Duck Chang. You're in for a real treat!

If u come to duck changs, splurge and get their duck! Amazing taste and quality and good portion size. Their noodles and hot and sour soup were also very good. I've only ever gotten takeout here but their service is very efficient and wonderful. They package all the food very well so there are no spills.

Been going here since the 1990s when we lived in Annandale and still our family's go-to place for Peking duck.

I cannot believe I have lived in Annandale and driven past Duck Chang's so many times but had never been, until today. Well thankful hubby and I rectified that today. I think part of why I hadn't been was I have my take out Chinese food location in Annandale & this spot gets put on the parallel with Piking Gourmet. I can see who one might draw that parallel from a menu & specialty standpoint and similar time frame but they have very different feels inside. First Duck Chang's is smaller inside and feels much more personal. We were spoken to by several staff including the lead chef. We both got something new to us and both had positive food experiences. I had the Sha Cha Delight; hubby got the Stir Fried Ho Fun with beef. Because we both enjoyed our meals and were on our way to check on a friend we ordered her a take out meal, she reported a positive experience. We all agreed we would be back. While I'm not sure how I made it so long without a visit one of our New Year's resolutions will be to visit again and repeatedly. If you haven't been you too should resolve to correct that error.

Excellent place for gluten free Chinese. Two of my friends are GF and are always looking for Asian food - this place is great and can make many things on the menu GF. We had the shrimp and chicken fried rice, the beef stir-fry ho fun (wide rice noodles), and sweet and sour chicken. I don't know how they breaded the chicken for the sweet and sour chicken, but it was great! Very crispy and crunchy. The fried rice was tasty and I really liked the ho fun noodles. But best was getting to share a meal that made my friends so damn happy. Plus, the service is fabulous - the people who run Duck Chang's are super nice and personable.
