A&J is a taiwanese chain restaurant in china and i used to visit a lot when i wanna grab something nice and light. i was so excited to find out there is a A&J in virginia. however, their menu is a little different here and the food quality is def not china good but pretty decent for american standards. their food is still pretty authentic.
scallion pancakes
tofu with preserved eggs
pickled cucumber
beef noodles – not bad. noodles are pretty al dente
pork chop
xiao long bao – soup dumplings. these were terrible. DO NOT GET!
altho the a&j in VA doesnt match up the a&js in china, but the beef noodles are still better than what i can get at most places in boston. pork belly told me their prices have been going up over the years, but still pretty reasonable priced.

Makes me so hungry just looking at it…
We have one here, too. http://farawaypeachgarden.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/dim-sum-northern-style/ We used to visit there on a weekly basis for years… But we just found out last Wednesday that the name has been changed. Is it still A&J in your area?
yea its still called A&J
Cracking photos. Looks so effing good!!
thanks!
The Xiao Long Bao revelation is most disappointing. I love those parcels of mouth searing heaven. Makes the appetite wince to hear of any not being up to par.
Your pictures are gorgeous! I just bumped my nose on the screen trying to get to the scallion pancake–everything looks so yummy!
Thanks for the pics! I’m surprised the xiao long bao 小籠包 only came in a set of four. Since you said it was bad, was the skin bad or was there no juice inside?
the meat didnt taste good and fresh, the skin was soggy, couldnt hold the fillings. jus very bad
Have one in Irvine. Always the best go-to option for a cheap and guaranteed yummy meal!
I love their beef noodles! In norcal bay area, there’s a few and ALL of their dishes definitely taste different from restaurant to restaurant. It often depends on which place, as well as who is cooking in the kitchen haha. I didn’t know they exist on the east coast, very cool!
yea i wish they had a location in boston. the beef noodles beat anyt beef noodles in boston
