Pretty good food and service as last time!! Tried Black Bean Tofu this time. If you have had MaPo Tofu, this is similar to that in the sense that this is also made with a lot of soft tofu but this has a gravy with beans and bell peppers. Tasted really good! Hot n Sour Soup was amazing as usual!! We also got a custard bun as dessert on the house! It was warmed up, perfect for windy and cold weather outside.

Dined here while visiting DC over the weekend. The place was small but very efficient. Super friendly and helpful owner. She recommended Hunan fish which was a big hit for us. The fish was tasty and flavorful. The veggies was fresh and perfectly cooked. Stir fried eggplant was very good. Service was really quick and portion was decent. Great place for food!

Went for dinner on Friday evening and the place was empty but buzzing with pickups for take out orders. The interiors are minimal with cute hand paintings on the walls.The hosts are very polite, friendly and accommodating. We had the Taiwanese popcorn crispy chicken, hot and sour soup, Mongolian chicken and mapo tofu. Every single dish was flavorful but the pick was probably the soup and the Mongolian chicken. Definitely coming back again to try more dishes and even take out if it falls in our delivery radius

Service of this spot was excellent! Seemed like the owner of the place. He was so sweet and checked in on us to make sure everything was good :)I was pleasantly surprised by the Eggplant dish. Nice and soft with a not too sweet sauce. I would definitely get it again. Popcorn chicken was good along with the lo mein. The seating is cozy and homey. Felt traditional and welcoming to guests. Definitely visiting again!

This is a well-known Taiwanese restaurant in the heart of Ashburn that has a nice mix of different Asian cuisines.I opted to have the Drunken Beef Noodles, a personal favorite, and was super pleased with the outcome. It tasted flavorful and was plentiful. My friends tried classic Chinese favorites such as the Sesame Chicken & General Tso's.The waitress was extremely nice. She managed to get all the ordered correct and out quickly which was notable as we were a large party. She handled the split checks wonderfully as well and worked well with the manager on cleaning plates as soon as they were completed.Parking is extremely avaiable out front in the Ryan Park shopping center and very close to the Nature Preserve for a nice walk afterwards.

So I thought I've been to THE Yen's in Ashburn before but I found out that there are two within a few miles of each other but separate restaurants. So good to keep in mind if you're placing an online order. We placed an online order for Yen's. Got a large Hot and Sour soup, large Crispy Noodles, Crab Rangoon, Taiwan-Style Fried Chicken, Minced Beef & Diced String Beans buns, and a Mango Juice Smoothie. Pickup orders take about 40 minutes according to their site. I got turned around trying to figure out which one I was going to but its located next to the Chick Fil A. Wasn't too busy for a Friday night but the inside isn't too big. I got greeted by someone as soon as I got in and they got me checked out and out the door in seconds. They packed everything really well, specifically the chicken which didn't have the lid on it to keep it crispy (pro move!).Everything traveled well. I've had the Fried Chicken and the Beef & String Bean buns before and they were still very good. Chicken was crisp, juicy, and salty with the good fried basil. The buns were flavorful and lots of beef and string bean filling. The rangoon were filled pretty good. The soup was solid and helped clear some sinuses. Loved the smoothie, real good mango flavor.Great takeout spot. Would definitely come back here to pick something up again.

What a hidden Asian gem! Was trying to find an authentic Taiwanese restaurant during my TDY and this restaurant did not disappoint. Owner spoke both Mandarin and Taiwanese and feels quite at home. They have been doing well since 2008. Location is not hard to find but it is behind the Panera plaza, which I drove in first by mistake. The parking lot of the plaza is pretty big so quite easy to park. They have 3 spots reserved for pickup so that's nice for to-go orders!The interior is nice and cozy with only about 7 tables. I came during wee hour (Wed afternoon) so didn't have to wait at all. Order the avocado cucumber salad and the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The cucumbers and lettuce were fresh and avocados added making a very refreshing dish. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was on point. Authentic. Slightly crispy basal leaves, firm and crisp chicken with juicy meat inside. Definitely a must-order if you like chicken.Will definitely come back and try other dishes. Keep ip the good work Yen's Cafe & Fresh Juice!

This place is the best!! The food is super fresh and they have a large menu. I have eaten tons of Asian food in my life and my experience is always the same...I retain water afterwards, feel oily and can tell there is a bunch of msg in it. After eating here you can tell that everything is homemade. I didn't have that heavy feeling afterwards. The gentleman that took care of us was so helpful, kind and the service was wonderful. It was very hospitable, I felt like I was being served in someone's home. He told us about the restaurant and how long they have been around I loved their tea and the custard bun was a great way to end the mealI highly highly recommend you try Yens cafe next time you want again food!

First time trying Yen's cafe and was not disappointed! The staff and food were awesome! We got the Beef w/vegetables and chicken w/vegetables with pork fried rice! Fresh and delicious. Side note, probably the friendliest staff around! Felt right at home as soon as I walked in the door!
