This is our family's favorite Chinese food place. We usually get takeout since the place is kind of small but if you want a quaint family style atmosphere it is worth eating there. All the dishes we have tried have been delicious. We usually order shrimp fried rice, sesame chicken, and beef with broccoli. The staff there are all very... More

My children took me to Yen's cafe for lunch on Father's Day. This was the second time I have eaten at this restaurant. We ordered seven different main dishes and two appetizers. Every main dish and appetizer was prepared to perfection. This place is truly a family restaurant with just a few tables run by a very attentive and friendly... More

I have driven by this a million tunes going to Home Depot or Red Robin, etc. but until my neighbor(from Beijing) recommended it I would never have gone. We went and the teas were amazing, the Beijing dumplings just like being in China and the Crispy Szechuan beef and Calamari were so authentic. I am still reeling in shock that... More

We had lunch on a Sunday at this gem of a Chinese restaurant. There are only 5 or 6 tables in the dinning room and I only saw Asian families eating there on this particular Sunday. My daughter and son in law were familiar with the large menu and ordered the food. The hot and sour soup was great. The... More

We used to love Yen's Cafe and thought it had the best Chinese food in the area. Their General Tso's Chicken was the best and one of our favorite menu items there. But, last night we stopped in for take-out and we were greatly disappointed. The egg-drop soup was good; the added corn is a nice touch. The vegetable spring... More

Went there to celebrate "Jewish Christmas". Great food. Dumplings taste homemade. Crispy Sesame Beef is actually crispy (!), Chicken with Chinese Chilies is actually spicy (!), excellent pea shoots in garlic sauce too. Hubby has been to Taiwan on business, said some of our selections came pretty close. Prices seem high, but portions are gigantic, we took home half of... More

This place is a find in the middle of the vast residential community in Ashburn. It's a small and quiet place tucked behind the Giant shopping center but once you try their tasty and authentic Chinese cuisine, you'll be craving for their dishes. The owner and staff are very friendly and originally from Taiwan. We haven't tried everything on their... More

We order from Yen's at least a couple of times a month. Their prices are a little higher than some other Chinese delivery places but the flavor and quality is worth the little extra.

Nice small establishment with great food and all types of fresh juices. I enjoyed my lunch and the prices are very reasonable, especially for NOVA. Good for a date or small group that wants a private atmosphere.
