Stopped by this spot on a whim and decided to randomly try a new Chinese place—and wow, this one really hit the spot. Everything was so good. The service was excellent from the moment I walked in; the gentleman who greeted me was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly.

The food was delicious, and I absolutely loved the Singaporean noodles. They also have so many options that you don’t typically find at other Chinese restaurants, which was a nice surprise. Service was quick, portions were great, and I really appreciated that they use recyclable containers.

There’s also plenty of parking and lots of room inside, which makes it an easy, stress-free stop. Overall, just a really solid experience with great food and great service. I’ll definitely be back.

This place is great. Such good service. The hostess even remembered my wife and I and sat us at the same table. She also remembered what I really liked (spicy food and tea). The food is really good and there are a lot of options. Highly recommend this place to anyone

What a great meal we had! We had a large family outing, celebrating many birthdays with a cross-cultural gathering. We were so grateful to find Cafe Opera. The hostess/owner was so gracious, warm, and accommodating. She helped us pick the right amount of dishes, and guided us to ones that best suited our diverse group. Once it arrived, the food was delicious, the service helpful and kind, and the servings authentic. The cook moderated the seasonings to suit those with preferences for less-spicy dishes; and the owner made sure that we identified any allergies or food issues before ordering. And - it was just a lovely, gracious, and memorable evening.

If you want to feel like family stop by here. I’ve only been here twice and I will make a conscious effort to go more often!
Not just for the friendly and fun environment but the food is amazing, the customers service is genuinely above many restaurants. It’s the simple kindness and concerns they have in making sure you enjoy your meal and your time there. We were recommended by many people to eat here and first went with a couple who couldn’t stop raving about how much they love going here. We even got to witness them chatting with another family coming in for lunch. They remember their kids meals and adjustments and even when the kids changed their minds it was still a smooth conversation. The family even seemed so genuinely happy to be there and not just for the food. You can tell when there is something special in a business and these people have captured it. Will ALWAYS come back.

Crazy pricing . They charged me 2 dollars just to sub mushrooms for bell peppers. The food here is already expensive.

Wonderful service and food. They are very knowledgeable about gluten free options. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable too.

We got takeaway, and pretty much everything was flavourless, marketed and priced as gourmet but tasted and looked more like cafeteria food. We ordered the spicy garlic eggplant which was very slimed and not spicy, the Mongolian beef which was fairly flavorless, and the General Tos chicken, which was okay. Really confused as to why trip advisor has this as one of the top Chinese restaurants.
The people who run the place are very nice, but was very disappointed by the food and how it was priced (like more than 20 bucks per entre).

What an amazing spot this was. Food was delicious. I had the general tso and it was out of this world good. All dishes were completely eaten with no leftovers. Service was perfect. Owners are amazing people. Made us feel like family as soon as we walked in..one of the top spots in VA. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I ordered take out - chicken with broccoli, Kung Pao chicken, fried rice, and drunken noodles. Everything tasted the same. Kung Pao chicken was drenched in sauces. The spicy version of the fried rice tasted bland. Dine in experience in 2019 was much better, not sure what changed.

Unto I found Cafe Opera I had lost all faith in Chinese restaurants in The Leesburg/Ashburn area. Cafe Opera is a great family owned restaurant and they care about their food. I have not had a bad dish yet and their lunch deals are fantastic. They are friendly and the restaurant is great for dine in or takeout.

We have often gotten takeout from here and loved it. This was my first time eating there.

The sesame chicken and pepper steak were excellent...Very tender beef as well as chicken. We ordered fried brown rice but received white. They eventually brought out the brown, but it was horrible...pasty!!! No one ate it. Service was pleasant.

Highly recommend the entrees.

We have been enjoying this restaurant for many years - for takeout and eat-in. Most recently, we ordered takeout on New Years Day. As always, the food was outstanding and the service was excellent. We've never taken advantage of it, but I learned at this visit that they also do delivery.

Cafe Opera is the best Chinese restaurant in Ashburn. My family and I live in Delaware & come to Ashburn a few times a year just to go to this fine restaurant. The service is always amazing & the food even better.
