It’s a trip. About 25 min from mine in the Fan, but Yu’s China Bistro in Centerville (Goochland just west of 288) has the best general tso in the area imo. Chicken is always fresh, white meat, no odd bits, crispy/crunchy, flavorful, etc. Nice little bits of sliced garlic and green onion. Chef’s kiss.

🤫 SHHHH! The last thing we want is our tiny little gem in the Food Lion shopping center getting overrun with West Enders!

Kidding. I’m a local and have to agree that Yu and her husband turn out the best GTC anywhere in the area. It’s the perfect blend of crispy, tender, sweet, savory and spicy. Definitely worth the trip if you’re up for it. And it’s like a minute off I-64, so it’s pretty convenient, all things considered.

I also recommend. Maybe not on Christmas Eve. I waited 2 hours for my pick up order after the time they said it would be ready. It was wild. There was a whole pile of us in there waiting. I have ordered from there a ton of times and never seen anything like it. Usually it’s a quick in and out.

ETA: We for GTC, so obviously worth the wait.
