Another delicious home style meal from Yen's cafe. The quality of the ingredients leaves you feeling great. The staff is also super friendly. This place makes authentic Taiwanese food you can't find any where.

Best Chinese food around. Not much competition in the area albeit. Owners are nice. All the traditional food was good. I ordered the crispy beef dish and the meat was really tough, don't recommend. Other than that every else was good like sesame chicken, beef snd broccoli, etc. competitive prices.

I've reviewed Yen's before, but I'm talking with the owner I learned something worth updating. We love Yen's and probably eaten here 25 times. I'd put it's food on par with places I've eaten in NYC Chinatown- better actually. I love the mines pork and buns - the owner told us she only uses pork belly and this dish- all the dishes are made fresh to order- not premade and sitting around. She also said she shops for fresh vegetables every morning. Do yourself a favor and try Yen's.

Great food, large portions, and good service for a reasonable price. Also ordered the pork dumplings which were amazing!

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.

An unassuming exterior that hides the treasure inside. With pleasant music, beautiful interior decorating, and an absolutely delicious assortment of teas and buns, this is sure to be a great spot for a business lunch, an afternoon tea break, or a quiet dinner.

Yen's Cafe is the best Chinese/Taiwanese restaurant in the area. It is truly authentic cuisine and it is fresh. The restaurant itself is an intimate dining experience (the space is small), but cute and clean. I have a hard time naming a specific menu item because it is all very good. There is a lot to try.
Beware: The restaurant publicly shared a customer's receipt on Facebook, as a response of receiving 10% tips after tax. Think twice before visiting them or prepare enough money for tips.

Saw the owner posted a customer' check somewhere on internet. I would feel my privacy is invaded if the restaurants I went doing the same thing.

Never been here before but I just want to heads up to customer hereThe waitress/owner of this restaurant will take a pic of your check with credit card info and without customer’s permission posted it on Facebook than judge customer not paying enough tips and suggesting them to order To go.Not sure would you guys cares about your credit card info leaked on internet but just need people who visit and support this business to know. If you are the customer of this transaction plz let this restaurant know this behavior is totally not ok.Apparently the lady who posted this online still think she is right after tons of people told her it’s wrong to do so. she still don’t think it’s inappropriate to post customer’s check with info online.

Ordered online carryout with estimate of ready in 30 minutes. A simple order; spring rolls, fried rice and vegan sesame chicken. Service: When arrived after 35 minutes, the order had not yet been given to the kitchen, causing a wait of another 35 minutes. Front of the house staff did not seem to care. Food: Spring rolls were not crispy (for me the number one requirement) but mushy. Pork in fried rice was very rubbery, so much so it was discarded. Vegan sesame chicken was ok. Did not eat in so cannot comment on ambiance. There is another restaurant with a similar name on Waxpool - much better. I recommend you try that one.
