    Ah Leng is such a neighborhood gem in Chantilly area. They offer halal khao man gai. I tried out both the poached and fried ones over rice. Both items came with delicious soup. The dumplings are more like shumais but nonetheless delicious. Neither chicken items were over or undercooked and the rice was fragrant and also delicious. I mean what wasn't delicious from Ah Leng?! I would order all of them again and wouldn't mind eating it daily too. Parking is free and the store is located within Lotte. You can place an order ahead of time via DoorDash or through the kiosk in-person. The latter makes the transaction without platform fees and definitely saves money. Something to keep in mind.

    Combo Chicken Rice

    Found this place through Instagram and was glad to find out theres a chicken and rice place near the area! This place is located inside of Lotte next to the sushi stand. I got the combo platter with the poached chicken and fried chicken. The poached chicken was tender but it wasn't super memorable. This was also my first time having the poached chicken without the skin. I enjoyed the ginger sauce that paired well with the poached chicken. I prefer the fried chicken more and would probably get that time next time instead of the combo. The rice was flavored very well and I ended up finishing the whole thing in one sitting!!

    Combo Chicken Rice

    I love poached chicken, and it's hard to find a place that does it well in the DMV. Ah Leng Chicken & Rice opened up recently and despite the 30 minute drive, I was motivated and excited to try the chicken after seeing good reviews. The staff running the stall were friendly, offering us free refills of soup if we wanted. The seating is pretty bare, only 3 bar seats available behind a different stall across from Ah Leng. COMBO CHICKEN RICE - 14.50 This comes with a sizable bowl of half poached chicken and half crispy chicken on top of a bed of garlic rice with a light broth and sauces on the side. The poached chicken was pretty tender and has that nice "natural" chicken flavor that went deliciously with the seasoned garlic rice. The crispy chicken was perfectly crunchy and fragrant with warm, juicy chicken. Both soybean ginger and sweet chili sauces were good, and I found myself enhancing my bites with both throughout the meal. My only complaint is the light broth, which was really salty. Other than that, fantastic chicken and rice dish. They give a generous amount of chicken per order. My friend got the crispy chicken with green curry which he absolutely destroyed within 5 minutes. We enjoyed our lunch at Ah Leng, and I 100% would be back in the future even with the longer drive!

    Spicy Lime Chicken Rice

    Ah Leng has maybe become one of my favorite places to eat in Chantilly. Right next to the produce section inside Lotte, I wasn't expecting too much from here, but I can't stop thinking about it. I ordered the Spicy Lime Chicken and I loved it. The chicken was crispy, and the spice and lime flavors gave it a "zing" that kept it from getting too heavy/stale to eat. I also think an underrated ingredient is the raw red onions, which may be off-putting for some, but I like the harshness that it introduces.

    Located inside Chantilly Lotte on the left side of the store! Their signage is super cute and the fake chickens are adorable! There's literally only crispy chicken and poached chicken on the menu for entrees but I can see why after trying it. I got the crispy chicken with green curry. It was so tasty and curry was spicy the way I like it. Initially looking at the curry I didn't expect to find Thai eggplants and bamboo shoots finding underneath! Next time I will ask for some dipping sauce and try the combo! Most Asians grew up eating some type of poached chicken and rice so this definitely hits the spot for me!

    Don't let the modesty of this eatery fool you! Looking at the menu alone is enticing but once you take your first bite, you'll be hooked. The dishes are so fresh and so full of flavor, it's making my mouth water just thinking about it! We got the crispy chicken rice and the spicy lime chicken rice. You'd think they would taste as similarly as they look but the tasted completely different! The crispy chicken rice was the perfect blend of savory with a kick of acidity, while the spicy lime was a little on the sweeter side (yes I know they sound like they should be switched but trust me, it worked so well) but both so good. Next time you come shopping for groceries, be sure to stop by! They're just past the produce section.

    Inside the chantilly lotte, on the produce side in the back! Probably one of the better chicken & rice bowls I've had, the crispy chicken was juicy and crispy, and the poached chicken wasn't dry at all!! Was obsessed with the provided sauces, I think they were sweet chili sauce and a spicy lime sauce. A good takeout spot, but if you want to eat your bowl then and there, there's bar/counter seating nearby, or proper tables on the other side where the other eateries are!

    Crispy Chicken with Green Curry, Thai Chicken Rice & Mango with Sticky Rice Smoothie
    Kathryn P.

    Discovered this place while shopping in Lotte. The staff were very friendly. I got the Crispy Chicken with Green Curry and it was pretty good! My husband got the Thai Chicken Rice which comes with a small soup. He really enjoyed it since it was nice and light. The mango with sticky rice smoothie had a bit of an artificial mango taste, but it tasted good when you drank it together with the sticky rice. I'd definitely come back to try their other dishes.

    Bruh this place slaps. It took me straight to Singaporean hawker centers or Iconsiam stalls. You can't go wrong with the classic chicken rice bowl but the the classic and crispy chicken combo is the bomb! The chicken flavored rice taste so good and the sauces and soup bring it all home. I love it when a place sells one thing only and does it super well. We need more places like these. Less analysis paralysis, more eating. The staff is from Thailand and they are super nice. Consider it a takeout only place because this is inside Chantilly Lotte grocery store. The ambiance is hectic. If you go there during weekends, good luck navigating around the shopping carts and good luck finding parking

    those are models of the dish, and it looks pretty same as what you get.

    I was sad that a great Thai restaurant closed recently at this spot, and this one just opened. So, I had to try out this place. It's a first Thai restaurant restaurant specializing Chicken and rice I have seen around in VA. There are a lot of places in Thailand like that, but I have not seen one here. Anyway, I had half poached half crispy chicken on the rice. It was great! It tasted like you eat in Thailand. I will eat again for sure. Highly recommended.

The portions are great and the food quality tastes good. I normally get the platter which comes with protein and two sides. I wish it allowed a combo kabob rather than one protein. If you do combo they hike the price up l, it's an additional $7-9. I think $25 is a bit excessive, but that's typically only if you do two types of protein instead of one. Food preparation normally is about 15-20mins. There's parking out front and plenty of indoor seating.

The little mini salad that comes with the meals had a really good dressing, and I enjoyed it. I didn't really like the chick peas. I prefer the ones at Charcoal Kabob in Herndon which are lot more spicier. These had a more tomato flavor to them which I've experienced at other kabob places. Also didn't care for the white yogurt sauce. It tasted and felt more like a salad dressing. The green sauce was really good, and I stuck with that for dipping. Service: fast casual. You go to the counter, order, pay, and they bring the food to your table. Ambiance: nice, new, and clean. Pretty generic. You could sub in any cuisine. I thought the prices were on par with any other kabob places, only most other places serve their meals with naan. Not here, but the portion sizes are big enough to fill you up. Overall, I'm happy I came and tried it out.

I felt so happy n comfortable the entire time. What surprised me was how amazing all the banchan was. That's how rare it is to get some good tasting sides. I feel that it's gone way down hill over the years. 20 years ago most the Korean places had good food n very tasty banchan. No,w its or miss, but most places don't have good banchan. It really takes away from the experience. You have good meat but mid sides. I felt the love being put into their food here which is rare these days. The meat was superb, I could tell soon as it arrived it was high quality. Was tender n delicious. The sauces, the service, the rice, the sides, the meat. The kicker was the smooth jazz playing in the background. I was in pure bliss! Can't wait to come try dinner next time. This place def lived up to their reputation. Please never change as you got it right.

Also, the customer service is great and the waiters were really nice. If you're trying to decide what to get off the menu, I super recommend the korma chop and the tea. Although I highly doubt there's something on the menu I wouldn't like. It was disheartening to read the low reviews that some have left of this place, because I can assure you they are not representative at all of this restaurant. Everything from the food down to the ambiance of the restaurant is 10/10. It's decently sized and a great place to bring friends or family who have not tried this unique Asian cuisine. I am not Muslim myself but love that the food is halal and a great option for the sizable Muslim community in our area. Will definitely be back, thanks so much Dolan!

There was a burger and chips option but when I requested it they told me that just don't have it. No reason why. They don't have plastic cups for kids either. We ended up getting the beef noodle soup, a noodle dish with beef and a few lamb and chicken kebabs. The beef noodle soup had no flavor / it tasted like water with chillies. The beef noodles were over cooked and needed salt or something. The lamb kebabs were chewy and the chicken kebabs were way too spicy. The wait time for the food took 30 minutes and while I am pretty patient - it was not worth the wait. The servers were non- existent and I had to constantly ask for napkins, water, take away boxes. The only time I saw them Was when I called them to order and then called to pay. They should not work in the service industry as a smile goes along way but clearly they hate customers. There was just no attempt to be nice at all and they were not very accommodating with questions. Let me not even get started on the bathroom. It was dirty and there was no loo paper. Give this place a skip. It's just not worth the time and the money you will spend there.

The puri arrived hot and perfectly puffed--golden, light, and crunchy on the outside, yet soft enough to soak up every bit of flavor. Then came the Punjabi murg chole, and that's where the magic really happened. The chicken was tender and deeply seasoned, not overpowering, but rich with warmth and spice. Paired with the chickpeas, it created a hearty, comforting balance--earthy, savory, and incredibly satisfying. We all know halwa puri with chole is a classic. It's nostalgic, it's comforting, it's expected. But adding Punjabi-style chicken into the mix? That took the entire experience to another level. The chicken didn't compete with the chole--it elevated it. Every bite with puri felt intentional, layered, and indulgent. This wasn't just breakfast or brunch--it was a vibe. A bold twist on tradition that felt rooted yet exciting. If halwa puri is comfort food, then halwa puri with Punjabi murg chole is comfort food that decided to show up dressed sharp and confident. A combination I didn't know I needed--but now won't forget.
