Ordered takeout and it was ready super quick. If you have trouble finding it, you Just need to go into Lotte and it is straight ahead on the left side through the produce section. Security guide pointed me in the right direction. Food: I got the poached chicken and rice bowl and wife got the spicy lime crispy chicken bowl and both were super flavorful. And the broth that came with mine was exceptional. I read that you're supposed to drink it between bites and it was a new experience and delicious. Highly recommend for a new Thai street food experience. read more

Located inside the Lotte market, this hidden gem is definitely a must try. I always find myself coming back here whenever I'm in the area, and it never disappoints. The Food: I've had both the Crispy Chicken w/ Green Curry and the Crispy Chicken w/ Kapow sauce. And, they both are so good. The chicken had a nice thin layer of crispy batter, and the chicken was pretty tender. Adding the curry sauce in your bowl to mix with the rice was also a very nice add-on, probably my favorite. The Service: The staff were very nice and friendly. Had no issues with wait times either. The Atmosphere: Not a lot of seating inside, but there is a small bar section in front of the stall to sit at. Around the corner inside the supermarket, there are more tables to sit at though. Overall, a 5/5. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Two Haiku Review: Small stall inside the Lotte that serves khao mun gai, I thought it was cheap And tasty! You have To walk to the other side Of the store for seats. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ah Leng Chicken & Rice - Combo Chicken Rice - Thai Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

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!! read more

Ah Leng Chicken & Rice - Combo Chicken Rice - Thai Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Inside of the busy Lotto Market, I found myself craving so Khao Mun Gai. I do have a favorite in Kingstowne, but this is totally up there. Portion size for the amount of food and price is GREAT! it's jam-packed with flavor. I love extra spicy so i wish there was an option to make it spicier, but i was satisfied! My order was the combo of crispy and poached chicken. They also give you a yummy broth that was not bland! Thank goodness! The garlic rice is cooked perfectly. Not too soft and mushy and not hard! Wish it was closer instead of 46 minutes from me...lol. would love to come back and try the rest of the menu. Everything came out in less than 5 minutes!!! Run people RUN! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Ah Leng Chicken & Rice - Spicy Lime Chicken Rice - Thai Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

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. read more

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! read more

We tried the Thai chicken and rice spot inside Lotte Market in Chantilly and it was so good! The chicken was juicy and tender, and the seasoned rice paired perfectly with it. The sauce and light broth were an extra bonus and really brought the whole dish together. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and satisfying. I definitely enjoyed this meal and will be coming back for more. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tried their combo bowl (half crispy, half poached chicken) and it was super yummy, healthy, and fresh. The only negative I have is they don't load you up on the amount of chicken. They give a ton of rice mostly. Id give 5 stars if they gave more chicken for the $$! read more

This place is a hidden gem. There was another restaurant in the Chantilly area that made similar food, but went out of business (my guess). Anyway, I love the chicken and rice. Their fried and boiled chicken. The flavors surprise you if you're expecting a bland dish. The rice and sauces they give are delicious and go well with both types of chicken. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Love my poached chicken. So good. So healthy too! Customer service was awesome and the owner is so friendly read more

A brand-new restaurant focused on perfecting a small selection of dishes. Their chicken rice is very close to what we had in Thailand--authentic and well-executed. If you visit, don't hesitate to sit at the four seats directly in front of the stall. Although they're attached to the neighboring Japanese sushi spot, they are open for public seating. read more

This place is conveniently located in the Chantilly Lotte. Nice people, clean spot. My first time I had the spicy crispy lime chicken over rice. Absolutely delicious! When you are on the go, this is a great little quick fix for Thai inspired crispy chicken! I'm definitely going back!!!! read more

Ordered fried chicken but chicken was cold(even waited over 12 minutes for our food so couldn't believe fried chicken was cold). The regular chicken tastes just okay but portion very small with a lot of rice. The soup comes with the meal tastes like white pepper water soup. Definitely not what we were expecting from this place. Two of us had to order other food from other restaurant. read more

Little shop tucked in side the Lotte grocery store (it's on the produce side, not on the side with all of the other restaurants) that sell the Thai version of Hainanese chicken. We got the signature dish (boiled chicken over garlic/chicken rice with sauce) and it was delightful. The meal comes with a little bowl of hot chicken broth which complements the dish very well. Staff are friendly and the food was ready quickly. We opted to eat at a little seating area in the grocery store since we were quite hungry and it was a little loud but not too bad. Would recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for a nice cozy meal that's faster than fast food but tastes better. read more

Very good Thai chicken and rice. I first had this dish in San Francisco and haven't come across any similar chicken and rice spots in this area, so I was really excited when I found this place. I ordered the combo with both poached and fried chicken, and both were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The rice was absolutely delicious. I'm not usually a fan of the broth that's served with Asian dishes like miso soup, but this one really stood out. It was light and refreshing with a wonderful cilantro flavor. The sauces were great too I really loved the ginger sauce. read more

Best place to get chicken and rice. Yummy! A bit hidden. When you get into the market walk toward your left then straught up.

The chicken was juicy, definitely not dry, and the seasoned rice is very flavorful. They are very specialized and they are good at what they do read more
