Assuming you mean Vienna, Virginia: no good Chinese that I can think of.  Tara
Thai, near the intersection of 123 and Lawyers Road, is easily the best Thai
place in Vienna, but avoid sunset timing, as the main window faces
west-southwest and has no shades on it at all.

Personal distaste: a very popular Mexican place is Anita's, and I like the
joint, but the food is awful.  You'd do 'way better buying chili dogs and
pitchers at the Vienna Inn, just a couple of blocks north on 123.  The Vienna
Inn, which really only exists to serve chili dogs and pitchers, was once
selected by Esquire as one of the ten best taverns in the country.

I believe there are a couple of good Italian places in Vienna, but I'm still
looking for them myself.

Good Greek at the very casual Knossos but avoid The Amphora - despite Knossos
being Amphora's carry-out place, the food at the two places is very different. 
Village Chicken, behind Knossos, makes the best chicken you've ever had, even
though you didn't ask about Greek places.

The best food in Vienna is Turkish.  Nizam's, run by Nizam himself, is superb. 
Intersection of Nutley and 123.

Er... Vienna... Virginia?  Or the other one?
