Vegetarian and Vegan never tasted so good. Yes it's organic, it's naked, it's good for you and me and I actually felt myself getting energized with every bite and sip. Welcome to the all natural Naked Lunch located inside Mom's Organic Market on Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia. Everything is made in house and from scratch - awesome bowls, soups, muffins and the lovely juice bar. The piece de resistance- the amazing team here - Trevor( an angel and just the sweetest kid in the world), Osvaldo - another kind and great guy; Ken - a gentleman a worker and just so courteous, Maris - we talk about our families, Jose, Kendall and the awesome Ashley. They know their stuff and are hard workers who not only preach it but live it and practice it. Their genuine love and care transfers to the healthy fare and makes it even better. Their black bean burger is unique and delicious; their pomegranate muffins are to die for. Their sushi bowls, molar bowls, confetti bowls( please see the menu photo) are so unique and exquisite. All the dressings are made in house and they are stupendous. I have missed out on the soup a few times( sold out in the first hour). The place is casual with tall seating stools and a self help table w plastic ware and napkins. I don't think I am doing a good job and justice by writing about this. Not even close. So get your clothed butt down to Naked Lunch for a healthy, fun and habit forming experience. Juice bar open 9-8 daily. Kitchen 11-8. read more

Actually well priced delicious, and healthy, vegan and vegetarian food. I got a black bean burger which despite basically being the texture of chili was really really tasty and I'd totally get it again, and I got a strawberry muffin (99¢) which was also vegan and tasted great. Can't believe I'd never been here before. read more

Naked Lunch - Vegetarian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

According to the advice of my friend, the quality of the food (especially the potatoes) widely varies based on who is working there. Sometimes, the potatoes are expertly cooked, well seasoned, and definitely not watery. Sometimes, that is not the case. Today, it was not the case. The potatoes were somehow watery and they were also mushy on the outside, but when you bite into the center, it's hard (which probably means the potatoes were boiled on high head but not for long enough). That made the grains a bit mushy and less appetizing. The scallions were pretty good, crispy, and has a strong onion taste. Overall, you should definitely come here when you want a wholesome meal made with organic ingredient, but don't expect the food to blow your mind. At the end of the day, this is the "good for you slop" for people who want healthy food and don't care about how it's cooked (as long as it is edible). read more

Naked Lunch - Madhya Bowl - Vegetarian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Decided to try Naked Lunch after seeing all these photos of delicious looking meals and I'm so glad I did! The food is totally worth the price because they give you way more than enough to make you full from just eating half the portion! I ordered the jammed yam and just holding the box, it felt like it was easily over a pound haha. Everything tasted delicious and healthy. The ordering process was straight forward and the employees were always so courteous/kind if I had any questions. Plenty of parking in the lot out front which was also super convenient. read more

Stopped here for a quick, healthy dinner. Unfamiliar with this small chain, I asked the cook for a recommendation. I ordered the sushi bowl, which cleverly mimicked the flavors of sushi rolls. The portion was generous, and I left satisfied. The prices were reasonable, and the menu offered a wide selection. read more

I could tell the food was super high quality! However, I just was not a big fan of the thai cashew salad I got! I just did not think cashews mixed with a salad-type dish. In addition, it was a bit bland. I also ordered an apple-beet-cucumber juice which was absolutely delicious! I got an apple muffin for 99 cents which was also delicious! The fact that this place is organic/vegan, the prices were VERY fair. I will definitely come back and try something else because of the high-quality organic food that is all vegan. Service was very fast and good! The ambiance was super casual and just attached to the main restaurant. Some places to sit inside however I wish there was outdoor seating but it may be a rule in the complex not to have outdoor seating because no other place really did. read more

A couple of years ago, I would've rated Naked Lunch 5 stars. However, the inconsistency in quality and portion size depending on the day/workers nowadays makes me lower my rating. Furthermore, more often than not, it seems they're always out of something - whether that be sweet potato or hearts of palm, etc. my favorite bowl to get is the jammed yam and I will also often do the create your own bowl option as well. I still come here when I'm in the area and seeking a quick healthy lunch option, but I also just think there are many other similar concept, healthy options that are more reliable and consistent. read more

Naked Lunch is a fabulous restaurant for organic, whole food. The meals are extraordinarily reasonable and delicious. The restaurant is designed for carryout, but there is counter space to sit, which is quite nice. If you're shopping at Mom's Organic Market or in the area, this is the best buy in town for lunch. The service is quick, and seeing their daily specials is fun. You can't go wrong. There are so few places in this area where one can order vegan, organic food that is tasty and prepared nicely, this would be my all-time favorite. read more

Very good take away vegan and vegetarian food, everyone working there is kind and accommodating, my personal favorite is the Thai Cashew Bowl. read more

Always a treat to come here for a quick bite. You can order on the menu or make your own. For now they have closed down their dining space in compliance with social distancing. This doesn't at all affect the quality of the food. Hefty portions great to divide up and portioned it for your next meal. I love this place! If you want to eat clean and be on a plant based diet check this out. read more

Had a simple kale salad with cheese. The portions are large but found the salad kind of drive and boring

I was amazed by this place. The food was 100% vegan and organic, and so flavorful and tasty. Everyone who served us was so friendly and helpful. Huge portions for the price, and everything we ordered was flavored so nicely. We had cauliflower tacos, a sushi bowl, and a huge bowl of "cheesy" broccoli soup. Everything felt home-cooked with so much love. Will absolutely go back again when we are in this area again! read more

Fresh and healthy with large portions. Menu items were simple and tasty with unique flavors. Awesome!

I like this location better than the Merrifield one. I always order the cauliflower steak or the black bean burger. I'd highly recommend either option! This time, I went with the black bean burger and got the vegan cashew cheese. That sounds frightening, but it's actually really good and creamy! You get to choose between a side of pretzels or greens. The greens are a kale/spinach mix with your choice of dressing. Their customer service isn't stellar, which is why I'm holding back on giving it 5 stars. Also, depending on who you have making your food, portion size can sometimes be inconsistent. It always tastes great though! read more

The food is good and the prices are fairly reasonable. The food is completely healthy and you don't feel bad eating it. despite the very loud, very loud server and cashier who screams and cackles to the point we had to pack up our lunch and leave , I will give it a high review. because of her, the atmosphere definitely gets enough. It's awful, but the food is outstanding. read more

I hate giving negative feedback, but you earned it. In 2022, immediately after eating Naked Lunch kale I suffered intense diarrhea (from Giardia bacteria). Luckily, I keep anti-parasitic herbs in my possession, so the bacteria was eradicated in a few hours. Last week (December 2023), I ate your monk fruit tacos and the sweet potato bowl at which point I contracted h.pylori, which caused me to suffer horrible gastritis and heartburn. Luckily, I'm educated and I know how to eradicate h. pylori, so I have it under control via self-administering a plethora of medicinal treatments. I rarely eat at restaurants anymore and this is why. Most humans can't be trusted to behave ethically. Shame to you and your subpar existence. According to NIH journal articles, "H. pylori infection can cause other disorders, including liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatic carcinoma. The importance of other Helicobacter species in the development of hepatobiliary diseases is also considered." and "Based on the currently available data, we confirm that H. pylori infection can increase the incidence of pancreatic cancer in general." Therefore, 1.) stop eating at Naked Lunch 2.) strongly consider boycotting all restaurants 3.) learn how to self-administer naturopathic remedies. read more

If you want fresh tasting veggie based foods look no further. This place has it and more! Upon arrival some of the items were sold out (mainly grains)... however was able to create a pretty amazing selection. It's like if you are a Chop't fan... you'd absolutely love Naked Lunch! Such a gem. read more

Pictured here is the daily special entree to-go ordered today for lunch. 15 minute drive to my brothers house and this is what was prepared for me. The sandwich was soaked and soggy. Completely inedible. I always go out of my way to support vegetarian/vegan restaurants on travel and planned on visiting daily while I'm here. Based on the previous reviews, this may be a one-off (and I'm not sure why?), but I will not be back. Extremely disappointed right now... read more

Love me some Naked Lunch. Big bowls of fresh and organic ingredients topped with flavorful sauces create my favorite meals. My favorite meals are the roasted and well marinated cauliflower steak, the jammed yam with southwest ingredients of black beans, jalapeño and cilantro, and the lin bowl with asian ingredients of tofu, seaweed, kimchi, and sesame oil. I also love their muffins that I save for breakfast the following day, and their soups. Their cashew cream and creamed corn soup makes me a soup lover. And the fact that all the ingredients are clean and organic is the best part. I can't say I love everyone that work here. A few can be a bit rude, and depending on who makes your bowl, they overdress it sometimes where my sweet potato and quinoa in my jammed yam is swimming in dressing. I appreciate it when they ask how much dressing I want. Otherwise, there isn't a place around with better value and quality bowls. read more

It's connected to Mom's Organic. Love that all their food is organic but didn't seem clean could be because I went after lunch rush. The gentleman who prepared the salad was very nice and professional. Made a great kale salad. One of the other employee was in a rush, talked around packed food and left. I would come back to this place maybe to try their smoothies next time. read more

Naked Lunch - Kale Caesar - Vegetarian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Good stuff! M suggested we eat here after our spa day and this was the perfect choice. Such wholesome food, that tastes great and is good for you. It's connected to MOM's Organic Market. There is counter seating in here and restrooms are in the back. Employees are friendly and quick. The Jammed Yam was incredibly filling and jam packed with flavor. A large sweet potato topped with quinoa, pineapples, avocado, jalapeños, and lime-jalepeno dressing. If you want a combination of sweet and spicy, you've met your match. Definitely try one of their freshly made juices, its incredibly refreshing. I'm really glad we tried this place out and I will definitely have to be back! read more

Super delicious healthy food!! We got the Madhya bowl, Jammed yam and the Black bean burger. Jammed yam and Madhya bowl were very tasty especially the turmeric ginger dressing on Madhya bowl. My husband thought the burger was ok, they could probably switch out the burger buns for something more flavorful as it also comes with lots of kale on the side. The staff were friendly and the order was ready pretty quickly. The portion sizes for the bowls were great! read more

Naked Lunch - Jammed Yam - Vegetarian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

This review will be the most accurate review of Naked Lunch. I've been here 50 or more times. The Food, The Process, The Service - Go! Food: Amazing! Everything in the restaurant is 100% organic, so we can order freely without any concern of low quality ingredients. They have a robust variety of superfood creations - my favorites are black bean burger and jammed yam! Amazing! All the food is so delicious and healthy. Prices are very reasonable too. Overall, no complaints! In fact, accolades! Process : The process and service always leave me wanting to not return.... but there's no competition so I have to, if I want delicious, organic eats. I will elaborate: Naked Lunch does "fast casual" style like Chipotle. But they haven't quite figured it out. Chipotle can bang-through literally 15 customers in under 6 minutes. If 4-6 people are in line in front of you at Naked Lunch, you're going to be standing there, awkwardly (I'll explain why awkwardly) for 15+ minutes before you order. It's very slow. Service: (this explains awkwardness) I'm not sure why, but the staff usually creates your meal with a resentful demeanor. There's just no other way to describe it. It's as if they loathe your business. There's consistently no pleasantries or smiles, or any indication that they value our business. They kind of just plainly look up and say, "what would you like?"... if you ask for modifications or substitutions, you can literally FEEL the resent. Usually if you do, they don't acknowledge your request verbally, they just begrudgingly throw your extra tofu on the salad or whatever - try it. Literally there's no pleasantries and it feels like your a guest in a house that doesn't want you. One or two of their staff tries - you can see it. Thy try to be nice to customers, and smile, etc... but the majority have room for improvement. I normally wouldn't review this, but it's so blatant here, that it literally, truly depresses the entire experience. When it's lunch time, I find myself saying, "I'd love a black bean burger, but I do NOT want to go stand awkwardly in line for 15 minutes and get served by people who hate me." I suggest management study successful fast casual style places and try and create a more streamlined process. And coach staff on pleasantries and customer service. Food is bomb! read more

I ordered the black bean burger and it was delicious! The service was incredible and they made the burger pretty quickly, making this an ideal lunch break spot. The burger used whole wheat bread, a generous serving of mayo and a chunky black bean patty. I got a side of pretzels, but you can also get a side of greens if you want to be super healthy. My main qualm about the burger had to do with the fact that it tasted too dry. I wish they had a spicy mango chutney, or a spicy herbed mayo. I felt like after a couple of bites the bread was rolling in my mouth. read more

Clean, delicious food. All organic and healthy, real food. Dressings are very healthy and don't contain sugar. Full meal portions unlike many other salad places that serve half bowls these days. Order your food and get your shopping completed in the meantime. Highly recommend for those who don't want to wait in line. Herndon store needs to offer cauliflower steak. It's one of the best items. read more

A vegan coworker raved about this place and on a quest to make good decisions for lunch, we headed over to Naked Lunch and I have NOT stopped thinking about that damn Jammed Yam ever since. Naked Lunch is connected to Mom's Organic Market, but they have a separate entrance. There are only a handful of seats inside, so be warned. The folks at the counter were friendly and helpful and they were not at all stingy with the scoops of superfood. My Jammed Yam starts with a humongous half of a baked yam with crazy big spoonfuls of quinoa, black beans, sautéed mixed peppers, pineapple, an entire half of an avocado, cilantro and this amazing lime jalapeño dressing for a slight kick. It comes with jalapeños too, but skipped this and the young man behind the counter suggested feta cheese instead- BOMB. I would not get it any other way. Everything on the menu sounds too healthy to be delicious, but if the rest are anything like the Jammed Yam, then I am a lifelong fan. They also have made-to-order juice that I was lucky enough to taste - just as good. Decent price for ridiculously large portions. You can't beat that. read more

Holy smokes!!! I got the Jammed Yam and I am still blown away with how good it was. I am also happy to say the serving size was plenty for a leftover meal tomorrow as well. :) All the ingredients are fresh, and flavorful - leaving you feeling healthy and fueled. Also snagged a muffin and was impressed with how moist it was. I find baked goods that not from bakery's can feel day-old but these were definitely fresh and yummy. read more

First time here and came here to grab lunch, part of MOMs organic, so it's healthy, organic and pretty good! They have various types of bowls that you can get as is or customize to your liking. This is a grab and go kinda place. There are a couple of bar seats available. I got the Lin bowl as is which was good! Since this was my first time here, I wasn't sure and confident about what to get so stuck with it as is. There are other types of bowls and the black bean burger that I would like to try and will probably return to grab a quick lunch. read more

This is the most spacious Naked Lunch that I have been to- ok, maybe not, but it feels spacious because they have a lot of room with open space not filled with chairs and tables. The chairs are high plush/ fabric covered comfort at its best- cool! The food is what you expect- a whole bunch of vegetarian goodness. Organic veggies, fruits and grains, as well as fresh pressed juices. It's the same menu as all other NL's, but no complaint from me about that! I still prefer the make my own option- pick your base and add 5 toppings with a dressing. Love love love it! Kale and cabbage and green onions and pineapple and mushrooms and carrots and cauliflower and bell peppers- too many fabulous organic choices! They have cauliflower 'steaks' and smashed sweet potatoes for bases, too, as well as rice and quinoa. A daily soup and muffin are offered as well- yum. The dressings are so tasty- the extra virgin olive oil makes them even tastier. We all have our preferences, but I think the chimichurri and herb vinaigrette are the best. Roasted garlic is strong, so beware! Coconut curry can get spicy! Regardless of your choice, your meal will be delish! read more

We had a great experience here. Although a lot of other reviews said the staff was unfriendly, we didn't encounter that at all. Everyone was very nice but not overwhelming 'how can I help you' - which was fine. They're menu isn't extensive but gives you a good amount of options. Portions are large so if you're not a big eater this can be a couple meals. Definitely will be returning to try the other menu items. read more

I've been coming to Naked Lunch for years (since they opened) and so glad for healthy plant based food in the area. Writing this review in hopes that someone in management might see it. Please bring back the Buffalo sauce for the cauliflower tacos. It really added great flavor to the tacos and was perfect. I come all the time for the tacos but the new sauce (vegan aioli) is just not the same. Tacos now just taste bland. Please keep a good thing going and add back the Buffalo sauce PLEASE read more

I was disappointed that they didn't take orders for pickup over the phone (being that I was in a hurry), but I was in and out of the place in 10 minutes. I ordered the JAMMIN YAM and the LIN BOWL. PHENOMENAL!!! The Jammin Yam was so good, I was so sad when my plate was empty... I was worried the Jalapeño dressing would make it too spicy but it was perfect! I love how eco-friendly the place was and their commitment to the environment. The staff was ok, I didn't feel very welcome when I arrived and a couple employees made eye contact with me a couple times before finally acknowledging or helping me. Felt a bit awkward since I was the only one waiting in line. As for the person who made my order, I kissed their ass a bit and they ended up warming up to me more. Overall, I really didn't care because the place had such great reviews. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day? However, I was so happy with the food, I'll be back again for sure. read more
