    I'm always shocked why it takes so long for me to fry places . Honestly, I usually am in the area much later than NL closes. So Naked Lunch is inside the Mom's grocery story at their registers. It's like Chipotle with fresh juice for vegetarians. I loved their fast service, taste of the food, and freshness of the ingredients. I got the smoker bowl and it did not disappoint. Keep in mind the portions are hefty. I think I left with a 3 lb eco friendly container of food. I will definitely be back.

    I just found my new favorite lunch spot! Located inside Mom's Organic Market, Naked Lunch is a small lunch/bar station that whips up healthy, fresh, and ALL ORGANIC steam bowls, vegan burgers, and juices. The steam bowls are $7.75 for one base and 5 toppings. If you order their bowl specials, there are more than 5 toppings in the bowl. This was my first trip here and I had the Lin Bowl. The service was a little slow, granted everything is made fresh to order, so I was more than happy to wait. Although the Lin Bowl comes with brown rice, they had no problem switching the brown rice for kale per my request. Lin Bowl ingredients: tofu, pea shoots, dried seaweed, zucchini, mushroom, sunflower oil, kimchi, and a lemon/lime wedge. Everything was SOOOOO fresh since it's organic. I even ate the entire lemon wedge (the skin was peeled off). I will come back to try their Yam Jam and pretty much everything else on their menu. Will definitely be updating.

    Love! Healthy, fresh, vegetarian/ vegan and organic. This is my goto place for lunch or dinner or for just a veggie juice. Choose your own veggie juice, with a base of carrot, orange or apple. Or you can skip those and make it all green - $6 for a 16 oz/ Large size. Create your own salads or rice or steam bowls - $7.75. They have a variety of greens, vegetables raw and cooked, tofu and tempeh and some beans and grains. They also have bowl specials. I like the Lin bowl, and they used to have the Peruvian bowl on their menu board (avocado, black beans, brown rice). They also have sandwiches. My old favorite is the Fakin' Bacon (tempeh with sauteed apples, brie cheese and vegenaise). They do update their items once in awhile - I saw a "crabcake sandwich" on their board. I think the price is on the high side (though their juices are fair and worth it and there's not a lot of fresh organic juicers in town), but ultimately I'm just happy there is one place (another Naked lunch in Rockville) like this that exists.

    I just sort of stumbled on this place after a long day of shopping in the mosaic district. It is located right inside mom's grocery store, to the left when you first enter. I ordered a black bean burger, which comes with a side salad and dressing, and a pink lady kombucha drink. The employees were all very nice despite the lunch rush. When my burger arrived, i couldn't believe how tasty it was! I was a vegetarian once before and I don't ever recall having a black bean burger that was perfectly put together, without falling apart. Brit tip: Enjoy your food right there in the store! Why wait to try deliciousness?! There is seating, although not many, provided right by the ordering counter.

    The  crabless crabcake !!!!! Best everrrrrrrr

    HALLELUJAH the CRABLESS CEAB SANDWICH IS BAAAAAAACK! I was so sad when it went away - it is insanely good! Please try it. I have it with the kale and salad salad with lime jalapeño dressings and stick it in the sandwich sometimes even. It's one of my favorite meals!!! Don't break my heart and take that sh off the menu again Naked Lunch!

    Moms super market is becoming my favorite place for food! (MRE) Best salads all organic! And best soups! Thank you Mom!

    Updated Review (previously 5 stars) due to poor management response:…read more Management has changed since my last visit, and boy, this place is not what it used to be, and that makes me sad. About four years ago, I happily gave this restaurant 5 stars and recommended it to others. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was the complete opposite. During my meal, I discovered ANTS actively crawling around my food. (See video) It was disturbing to watch them around the sauce next to my meal, and I immediately stopped eating because I no longer felt comfortable consuming the rest of it. What disappointed me even more was how management handled the situation afterward. It was extremely difficult to get in touch with the manager despite multiple attempts. When I finally spoke with him, he refused to provide a refund because more than 30 days had passed since my visit. Given the nature of the complaint and the difficulty I had reaching management, I found that response completely unreasonable. I also raised concerns about being asked questions during my visit that made me feel racially stereotyped. Those concerns were never acknowledged or addressed by management, which only added to my disappointment. Because I believed this was a legitimate food safety issue, I filed a complaint with the Fairfax County Health Department. After investigating, the inspector informed me that they visited the restaurant, discussed my concerns with the manager, and that the manager confirmed my reported ant sightings. The Health Department also required additional pest control measures. Beyond the service issues, I also noticed a significant decline in the food. The wonton soup was bland and lacked the rich flavor I remembered, and the General Tso's Surprise tasted off and was missing the depth and spice that used to make it one of my favorite dishes. This restaurant used to be one of my favorite vegetarian spots, which is why writing this review is so disappointing. Based on my recent experience, the difficulty in getting in touch with management, and their total lack of customer service or care for loyal customers, I can't recommend dining here. They do not care about their customers based on how I was treated.

    I had a surprisingly great experience at Flower Child…read more With such a wide variety of menu items, it was easy to find plenty of vegetarian options. I ordered an entrée with three sides: grilled vegetables, roasted heirloom carrots, and mac and cheese. Everything was made to order, so my meal arrived fresh and flavorful. The olive oil-roasted vegetables were simple but well seasoned and satisfying. The roasted heirloom carrots were unique as they were seasoned with za'atar and served with whipped feta, which added a delicious flavor. The mac and cheese, however, was just average. I'm not a big fan of gluten-free pasta, and I found it a bit too chewy. It also didn't absorb the cheese sauce very well, so it wasn't as creamy or flavorful as I had hoped. I also tried the draft kombucha, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The service was quick, even during a busy weekend lunch, and a staff member was friendly. The restaurant itself has a cute, welcoming interior with plenty of seating, so finding a table wasn't an issue. Overall, I had a really enjoyable meal and thought it was well worth the price. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

First visit I had no issues but the second time I came I asked why the serving was so small after showing a photo of my previous order and was told that I was mistakenly give a double portion. The manager and staff did work to remedy it which I was grateful for but sad to know that the average size is so small.

Our meal took place on a Tuesday evening, yet the restaurant was constantly busy (though not packed to the point of having to wait for a table) with a diverse clientele, which speaks to Chay's popularity. Among the 3 of us, we split 2 mains and an appetizer, which was more than enough food. The fried calamari was nice and paired well with the spicy dipping sauce (which was actually spicy). I loved all the fresh veggies and generous amounts of peanuts and fried shallots in bún chả Hà Nội (vermicelli platter). As a saucy girlie, I REALLY liked the "fish sauce" accompanying the dish. Despite the deliciousness of those 2 dishes, the real star of the meal was thịt kho sả (lemongrass clay pot). Perfect flavoring; I almost forgot that it was vegetarian. The only downside to my experience was the service: it would have been great for a server to stop by and refill our water every once in a while.

    This is the place I recommend to my vegan and vegetarian friends as well as the omnivores.

I like the hú tiểu mì khô, hoàng thánh chiên, thịt kho sả, chả giò, bì cuốn, & cơm chiên tây thi. The chili sauce is house made and definitely has quite a kick so beware if you are sensitive to spice.

As we were walking back towards our hotel, we actually were passing here so I chose it for our din din spot. I thought for sure it was going to be packed but luckily it was not. I knew I wanted a burger but was struggling with choosing which one. Hubs knew he wanted the Cheesesteak and knew I wanted fries. I went with the Smokehouse burger. We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

Got the vegan black bean quesadilla and mixed berry muffin. At 99 cents each, the muffin is a great price. It looks and tastes homemade, and not as sweet and "cakey" as other commercial bakery muffins. It was moist with sweetness from mostly the blueberries and cranberries (nothing dried, all fresh). Loved it and will buy again. The quesadilla was made to go on a hot skillet. The tortilla was perfectly toasted and crispy. It was stuffed with vegan cheese, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn. The beans were seasoned well (chipotle) and the vegan cheese and veggies complemented perfectly. Came with also a side portion of spicy crema sauce which added a kick to the dish. Staff was polite, food is great! Will continue supporting these businesses!

Back then the food quantity and the service were top notch-great service with a smile and good quantity portion size. Since then, everything has gone downhill and this place is hit or miss depending on who makes your food, not to mention that anything worth having or anything that is not a cheap item has been removed from the menu (ex: hearts of palm, and now even the popular jackfruit tacos!) Only the cheapest ingredients left behind such as beans, chickpeas, onions, cilantro so they can major profit more and more. The menu has become boring to everyone I know with no exciting new items but just the same old and taking away certain items that the customers love. (Other Moms locations I go to switch up their menus with yummy offerings that Ive never seen offered at this location) Their prices have also gone up quite a couple of times since before covid and on top of that their portion sizes have lessened by more than 50% and still they get stingy only at this location when scooping the scoops always shaking the spoon to lessen the portion of each scoop and still finding sneaky ways to raise the prices more or take away anything that might cost more. Ive also noticed they only hire Hispanics now which I don't care but they definitely do not give service with a smile and half the time they don't understand what you are asking for and get rude if you sub or ask for something that might require a change. I am Spanish so of course I understand the language and alot of times they talk bad or whisper to each other right in front of me when you are undecided or make changes to the menu items. In my opinion, a different manager is needed that values customer service as the current manager is rude and does not like when you ask for substitutions and very stingy as well with portion sizes. Back in the day if i wanted half a scoop of one topping and half of another on my tacos it was ok, not anymore. A lot of people who don't come here often rate good as a good lunch spot but when you come here consistency, you start to see the flaws and lack of service,
