Although you need a scorecard to keep track, Culpeper currently boasts approximately 7-8 Asian restaurants at the moment. While “Dragon Chef” is superlative & definitely our go-to for eat-in dining, it’s on the other side of town from us, & when we have a sudden urge for take-out, Top’s it is.
This is definitely a no-frills place. While there are a small number of eat-in tables, the majority of business is the take-out trade. That said, I have favorites here that definitely surpass other places in the immediate area.
“Singapore Noodles” – best version of this dish I’ve come across so far. Thinner than Angel Hair/Vermicelli pasta tossed with spicy hot yellow curry powder, shredded vegetables (carrot, celery, Napa cabbage), & small shrimp, slivered chicken, & roast pork. I’m addicted to the stuff, & they make it spicy enough to raise a sweat, unlike other places.
“Boneless Chinese Spare Rib Combination” – Self-explanatory. Boneless bite-size pieces of Chinese Spare-Rib seasoned pork served with fried rice & an egg roll. Savory & delicious.
“Shrimp with Lobster Sauce” – a non-extraordinary version, but decently good comfort food.
Place is clean, counter attendants are friendly, prices are more than reasonable, & the quantity & quality of the food are good for what they are – sometimes even better than higher priced fancier dine-in neighbors. It is what it is. They used to only accept cash & checks – no credit cards – but don’t know if that policy is still in effect since we’ve become so used to paying cash there that I keep forgetting to check. They have a number of locationsin Virginia besides Culpeper, but the Culpeper location is the only one we’ve visited.
Worth a visit so long as your expectations are realistic.
