Dim Sum with DanDan noodles
Use the currently linked PDF’s soup buns and crystal shrimp dumplings, then add its beef DanDan noodles. Confirm current amounts because the PDF filename is older and the separate online menu differs.
Choose the matching Henrico menu’s Lamb in Dry Pot or named Vegetable in Dry Pot. Confirm sauces and delivery eligibility, and plan for the Henrico branch rather than a Richmond-addressed stop.
The dinner PDF describes Beijing Duck with tea-and-coffee smoking and Chinese bao buns; Buddha’s Delight is its named vegetable alternative. Confirm current prices, dinner hours and Monday availability.
The West Broad Street operator links a bilingual PDF with a Dim Sum section. Its soup buns, crystal shrimp dumplings and Sichuan DanDan noodles support a small-plate meal at this exact Richmond branch; the PDF and separate Kwick ordering menu have some different labels and amounts.
Build an order. From the posted PDF, choose Steamed Soup Buns (6) 小笼汤包 $13.00 and Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (6) 水晶虾饺 $12.00. Add Szechuan DanDan Noodles (Beef) 四川担担面 $12.00 if you want the menu’s beef noodle dish. These are the PDF’s literal bilingual labels, with its printed amounts expressed in dollars. Steamed Soup Buns (6) 小笼汤包: 小笼汤包 means soup dumplings.
Before you go. The operator lists Mon–Thu 11am–2:30pm and 5–9pm, Fri 11am–2:30pm and 5–9:30pm, Sat noon–9:30pm and Sun noon–9pm. The currently linked PDF filename contains 10-22-2024. Confirm current prices; the linked external delivery page returned HTTP 403, so its availability and terms were not readable.
Operator website PDF menu prices. The Dim Sum section prints 小笼汤包, meaning soup dumplings, and 水晶虾饺, meaning crystal shrimp dumplings. Both six-piece counts are in their item labels.

Cheng Du’s operator identifies this West Broad Street branch as Henrico, outside the Richmond-addressed picks. Its linked menu has a Dry Pot section naming lamb and vegetables, and the operator explicitly describes its Chinese Sichuan cooking. The nearby geography matters when planning this meal.
Build an order. Choose D1.Lamb in Dry Pot $22.95 or D8.Vegetable in Dry Pot $22.95 from the matching branch’s Dry Pot section. The menu also lists St.shanghai steam soup 6 bun $9.95; ask about its format and filling because that awkward label has no description establishing a soup-filled dumpling.
Before you go. The operator lists Mon–Sat 11am–10pm and Sun 11am–9:30pm. The linked MealKeyway page matches 9503C West Broad Street in Henrico and advertises pickup and delivery, starting October 9 at 11am at the overnight check. Delivery radius, fees and customized totals were not checked.

Fat Dragon’s operator describes modern Cantonese cooking and publishes a dinner PDF that names Guangdong honey barbecue ribs. The same menu labels Fat Dragon Tofu as vegetarian. This branch supplies a rib meal distinct from Beijing on Grove’s tea-and-coffee-smoked duck.
Build an order. Choose GUANGDONG HONEY BBQ RIBS — HALF RACK $15.50 from the heading with separately printed half- and full-rack amounts. FAT DRAGON TOFU $15.50 is the named vegetarian alternative, and ANCIENT SECRET BBQ PORK FRIED RICE $14.70 adds the menu’s pork rice dish. Ask about dietary preparation.
Before you go. The contact page lists lunch Mon–Fri 11:30am–2:30pm and dinner Sun–Thu 4:30–10pm, Fri–Sat 4:30–11pm. The currently linked dinner PDF prints 01.22.26. The menu and contact pages do not list delivery; call to confirm current service arrangements and prices.

Beijing on Grove’s dinner PDF describes Beijing Duck as tea-and-coffee-smoked and served with Chinese bao buns. That source description supports a smoked-duck meal at the Grove Avenue branch; it does not establish a whole roast duck or a tableside carving service.
Build an order. Choose BEIJING DUCK $34.30, described with cucumber, scallion, hoisin and Chinese bao buns. MUSHU PORK $19.50 is the shredded-pork alternative served with Chinese pancakes. BUDDHA’S DELIGHT $15.50 is marked GF/VGN and names vegetables; confirm sauces and preparation for dietary needs.
Before you go. The contact page lists lunch Tue–Fri 11:30am–2:30pm; dinner Tue–Thu 4:30–10pm, Fri–Sat 4:30–11pm and Sun 4:30–9pm. It does not print Monday hours. The current PDF filename says Jan26.2 but its footer prints 01.12.12; confirm the menu’s currentness rather than treating that as a 2026 revision date.

Good Taste’s operator links a current Chinese Menu Online menu for the West Grace Street branch. Its Egg Foo Young section explicitly says white rice and gravy and names vegetable, roast-pork and house-special choices, supporting an egg foo young meal separate from the ribs, duck and dry-pot picks.
Build an order. Choose 41. Vegetable Egg Foo Young $12.10, 42. Roast Pork Egg Foo Young $12.75 or 46. House Special Egg Foo Young $14.85 from the section headed w. White Rice & Gravy. Confirm the house-special ingredients or dietary preparation; the current cards do not provide filling descriptions.

Hunan East’s matching-branch MealKeyway menu has a Vegetarian Corner naming Hunan string beans and broccoli tofu. Those literal regional dish names support a Hunan-named vegetable meal without claiming that every dish or the entire kitchen follows one regional tradition.
Build an order. From Vegetarian Corner, choose String Bean w.Tofu Hunan Sauce $13.95+, Hunan String Bean $13.95+ or Hunan Broccoli Tofu $14.50+. The plus is printed inside each price display, so these are starting amounts. Confirm sauce ingredients and any item options for dietary needs.
Before you go. The operator lists Mon–Thu 11am–10pm, Fri 11am–10:30pm, Sat 4–10:30pm and Sun 4–9:30pm.

China Panda’s first-person operator site identifies its North Sheppard Street branch and currently links image menus. The main image names cold sesame noodles, crispy eggplant and bean curd, supporting a vegetable-relevant noodle meal. Its menu images are undated and disagree with the separate Hours page.
Build an order. Choose 10. Cold Noodles in Sesame Sauce $4.95 with 70. Crispy Eggplant w. Garlic Sauce $8.75. The image also lists 69. Bean Curd Home Style $8.25 in its Lg. price column; the separate Sm. amount is $6.50. Confirm current prices and sauces by phone before relying on this undated image.
Before you go. The Hours page prints Sun 3–10:30; Mon, Wed and Thu 11–10:30; Tue closed; Fri 11–11:30; Sat 11–11, without AM/PM markers. The menu image instead says Open 7 Days and different closing times. Confirm hours and delivery terms by phone; the site also lists 804-359-0346 without distinguishing its role.

China Panda lists 616 North Sheppard Street, at Sheppard and Park. Its linked image menu names cold sesame noodles and vegetable dishes, but its hours sources conflict.
Six operators give Richmond, VA addresses. Cheng Du explicitly gives a nearby Henrico address at 9503 West Broad Street #C. None of these exact branches appears in the checked DC, Fairfax, Centreville/Chantilly, Virginia Beach or Chesapeake guide inventories. Richmond District references in San Francisco and Richmond Road in Lexington, Kentucky are different places.
Which source identifies soup buns and crystal shrimp dumplings?
Peter Chang’s currently linked PDF prints Steamed Soup Buns (6) 小笼汤包 and Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (6) 水晶虾饺 in Dim Sum. The Chinese labels explicitly identify soup buns and crystal shrimp dumplings. Its separate Kwick menu differs on some wording and prices, so the selected meal prices consistently use the PDF.
Which regional menu names go beyond Sichuan and Cantonese?
Hunan East’s Vegetarian Corner literally names Hunan String Bean, String Bean w.Tofu Hunan Sauce and Hunan Broccoli Tofu. Those names support a Hunan-named vegetable meal without establishing an exclusive regional identity for the whole kitchen. Cheng Du describes Sichuan cooking, while Fat Dragon names Guangdong ribs and Beijing on Grove describes smoked duck.
Where are named vegetable choices available?
Hunan East has a Vegetarian Corner; Cheng Du names Vegetable in Dry Pot; Fat Dragon marks Fat Dragon Tofu vegetarian; Beijing on Grove marks Buddha’s Delight GF/VGN; Good Taste names Vegetable Egg Foo Young; China Panda names eggplant and bean curd. Ask about stocks, sauces and preparation rather than assuming a dish meets every dietary requirement.
How current are the prices and delivery details?
Every cited source was fetched October 9, 2026. Peter Chang’s PDF filename contains 2024, Beijing’s PDF has conflicting date clues, and China Panda’s linked image menus are undated. Online Hunan East prices retain literal starting-plus markers. Good Taste publishes delivery terms, Cheng Du and Hunan East advertise both services, China Panda offers phone delivery, and Peter Chang links a blocked external delivery page. Confirm final prices and availability.
