    Brown Rice
    Liz R.

    I was out and about and in the mood for Chinese takeout and Chen's Kitchen was just a 1/2 mile away so I said let me swing by and give them a try. I was greeted as soon as J entered and they have their menu on a large flatscreen that's right at the counter which made deciding on what to order easier than it typically is with traditional paper menus or with the picture menus on the walls. I ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan and Steamed Chicken & Broccoli both with Brown Rice. I was told it would take 10 minutes and it was ready right on time. I took the food home to eat and I must say that Chen's Kitchen gives my usual Chinese takeout restaurant a run for its money so I will definitely be ordering from them again!

    I know this one of those local, typical Chinese restaurants, but I've ordered many times from Chen's since moving to Herndon 4 years ago and wanted to give them a review. Whenever I am craving American Chinese food, I order here and always get the right stuff consistenly. I also always get my order delivered, but I made the drive to pick up my food for once and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the customer service is too. My pickup order had General Tso's chicken, egg drop soup, and beef with broccoli. All necessary utensils were included and I also got a free eggroll thrown in. The price was also decent for everything I got! The location is in a small shopping center and is not difficult to spot. Upon entering, the front desk is pretty much in front of you and they have a large monitor with the menu on it.

    Burnt to a crisp dumplings.  Went into the trash.

    Ordered UE: chicken and asparagus and dumplings. The entree was delicious and tasted vibrant and fresh but those dumplings..... took a whole star off for the burnt food. Come on.........

    Not hot and sour

    I was really craving hand pulled noodles. Luckily I stumbled upon Yo Noodles as the closest thing…read moreto me (about an hour drive). What I enjoyed about Yo more than a place like Dumpling District (very similar in menu) was the quality and vibes of the service and atmosphere. The servers were very helpful to explain the dishes to my family members who needed some help. The food hit! The Spicy dry noodles are definitely what drew me to come here and they did not disappoint. My kids loved the pork chops. The seafood soup was loaded! The flavors were exceptional. And for as much food as we order, the price was pretty reasonable! We look forward to our next visit!

    I used to come here pretty often, but as of our last visit, the quality has significantly tanked…read moreand it's pretty evident that they've started cutting corners. For example, the Panfried Pork Bun used to be my favorite item here but they've changed the recipe significantly. The pork filling used to be a lot larger and juicier...but now when you break open the bun, the filling is so small that half of the bun doesn't even have any meat. 80% of the bun is just dough and it's not fried well and quite greasy. Everything overall was way too greasy, including the crueller and the dry noodles were swimming in oil. I did like the texture of the noodles, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the oiliness of the broth it was sitting in. It's really sad to see this place fall short since it opened a couple years ago. I'm hoping that they can improve their quality of food as it's really gone downhill since opening.

The ambiance inside is casual-classy. It is a good place to eat with coworkers or for a first date. The service was really good as well. Our waiter did a great job presenting our drinks and pouring the matcha lemonade. He made thoughtful recommendations and was very funny too. The food also was high quality and moderately priced. The miso eggplant was a nice sized appetizer for sharing and was seasoned nicely. The chicken ramen was also the perfect amount of spicy, had a good ratio of noodles to broth to vegetables, and was presented well. The dishes paired well with the matcha lemonade, which was aesthetically presented, had a subtle sweet lychee flavor, and was perfectly balanced. I've been to other Jinya's and this experience matched the quality and service of the other times. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're craving ramen!

On the food side, we ordered the tempura shrimp, which was delicious -- perfect crunch and great flavoring. We also tried the fried chicken, which had a good crunch and tasted delicious, though it was slightly on the oily side. The spicy chicken ramen bowl was good, but honestly I prefer the red fire opal vegan bowl I had on a previous visit -- that one really stood out. As for parking, there are multiple parking garages in the area, so finding a spot isn't an issue.

    Food Ordered: * worth trying…read more - [Signature Khao Man Gai*]: This is the poached chicken rice set and comes with a fermented soybean ginger/garlic sauce. If you're between the poached chicken and the fried chicken, I would go with the fried chicken. The poached chicken was a little dry. - [Khao Man Gai Tod*]: This is the fried chicken rice set and comes with a sweet chili sauce. 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.
