    Orange Chicken Lunch Special
    Christopher S.

    Pro - The Szechuan Style Beef Noodle Soup is pretty good, which includes house-made noodles and a rich, hearty broth. At 10.25, the price is acceptable. This is about the only thing worthy of a visit to this Chinese-American establishment. Con - The weekday lunch specials come with a spring roll (they advertise it as an egg roll but when I think of egg rolls, I imagine triple the size with much more filling) and fried rice (this is a joke! it's just white rice tossed in a wok with imitation soy sauce). Unfortunately, there are a lot of Chinese-American food options in Herndon, but none of them are something to rave about. You would need to trek out a bit further to Chantilly, Reston, Vienna, or Falls Church if you are looking for good/great Chinese restaurants.

    Ordered pork chow mein expecting noodles because mein = noodles. When you Google "chow mein", it's a noodle dish. When you order chow mein from any other Chinese food restaurant, you get noodles. Instead, we got what is pictured. We called the restaurant and the lady got super defensive and said, "I don't know why customers get confused." Because this ain't chow mein, lady. And if you have to repeatedly call customers to tell them this isn't a noodle dish then that should tell you something. Don't blame the customers for being confused when it's called chow mein.

    *Update* Very addictive! I can't get enough. I've spent at least $500 here, and they know my order when I walk in. Good stuff! As a vegetarian, having almost everything on the menu have a vegetarian counter-part was awesome. Area was clean, food was decently quick, and it was about what I expect size wise. My meal came with a container of white rice and a fortune cookie that was uneatably stale, but whatever- it was classically poor in grammar. Something like "Your love life and will be happy soon!". Wooden chopsticks are in a bin to the left of the register if you need them. *edit* I've now come here every day for a week, and I'm still not tired of the Vegetarian Sesame Chicken! Waiting for an orange chicken just to try something else right now. Pro tip! Order the dinner size, even if it's lunch! There's so much food that I always have enough to eat till I'm full (I'm a smaller dude, 140Lbs) but also have enough for a second meal later that night. Total comes to $11 or so, and I'd say that's a great deal for 2 meals! Upgrading to 5 stars as long as they keep the prices like t I'm afraid to write how much I like this place, and how much of a better deal it is honestly than even Lotus Vegetarian down the road because I don't want it to get TOO busy, but it's worth it to make sure they stay busy :)

    Poor quality & over priced. I was working near here and decided to stop in for lunch. I had the seafood combo, it was tastless and terrible. Plus I got charged $15 bucks. I don't see how this place can stay in business.

    Decided to get Chinese today. This place is a bit small, but it's clean. The food was surprisingly good. It's kind of hidden on the side of this shopping center. The price was decent. Plating of the dishes were nice. I would definitely recommend this place. No complaints from me!

It was $19 and came with an appetizer (I can't remember exactly what it was, possibly rice cake sushi), which made it feel like a really solid deal.

    My wife had a function in the area, and we took the opportunity to meet up and grab a bite to eat…read more I was in the mood for something light, and since she had visited before and enjoyed the food, we decided to give it a try. Jinya Ramen Bar offers a trendy, modern, metropolitan atmosphere. The space has a lively energy, with techno/disco-style music playing in the background, a full bar, and televisions featuring sports programming. The crowd appeared to include a number of younger couples, which added to the overall vibrant feel. I ordered the Chicken Yuzu Shio Delight and customized it with spicy bean sprouts, fresh garlic, and chicken wontons (each an additional charge). The dish arrived hot--which I always appreciate--and was exactly what I was looking for: flavorful, well-balanced, and satisfying without being too heavy. My kids ordered from the children's menu and clearly enjoyed their meals--they liked it so much that they asked for more noodles. I ended up sharing some of mine and ultimately ordered an additional bowl. The staff was very accommodating throughout, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is family-friendly, even with a bar as a central feature (which we did not utilize). The host was welcoming, and the staff presented a cohesive, modern look with all-black attire. While the style is clearly part of the restaurant's trendy aesthetic, some aspects of the dress may be a matter of personal preference (too short in my opinion, I would not like my daughters wearing such short attire). Overall, this was a great experience. The food was satisfying without being overly heavy, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was engaging. I would certainly recommend Jinya Ramen Bar to anyone in the mood for quality ramen in a lively setting.

I've only ever ordered takeout from Kindi Chicken Rice but I liked that the fried chicken was still crispy and juicy when I brought it back home. Would I order again? : I would order again if I'm in the mood. When I was living in Philly, I used to love frequenting Cily Chicken Rice, which was also a Thai-style hainanese chicken rice spot. So, when I moved to NOVA, I was excited to find a similar restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, Kindi Chicken Rice isn't quite as good but it's still pretty decent. The ginger-garlic rice doesn't have enough garlic flavor and was a little dry. Also, I didn't like the ratio of chicken to rice; there was only six pieces of chicken for all the rice that was given. Lastly, the daikon soup had the classic peppery taste but lacked salt/umami flavor. But I did like that the daikon was sliced whereas the daikon in the Cily Chicken Rice soup is just one hunk of daikon.

I was stunned since the hosts are usually very happy to see patrons come in. Beyond that, though, we had a lovely time. Our server was quite friendly and got hubs customized Cuban order just right. I had the killer tomato basil soup and tasty grilled cheese. I also got an order to go of the Buffalo Chicken wrap. It was yummy the next day for lunch. We hadn't been to NYAJ's in years.

I meet some old friends at this restaurant fairly often and we are always well taken care of. We often have Caesar as our waiter and he has been there a long time, and always does a great job. He is polite, friendly, professional and attentive. The food is good. I don't know if I would say there is anything fantastic about it, but I have never had a bad meal there. I've had the chicken parm, the Cuban sandwich, burgers, and salads and everything had been tasty and freshly prepared. I love a good Cuban sandwich and NYAJ's is a good one, and they are one of the few restaurants with a Waldorf salad on the menu, so I have ordered that several times. My only critique of that would be, I wish it had the candied pecans that are listed as an ingredient on the menu, but the last 3 times I have had that salad, they have been missing. I also love the French onion soup there, as well as many of the appetizers. You really do not have to worry about getting a bad meal at Not Your Average Joe's, it's very reliable.
