Pen's Oriental Kitchen — Restaurant in Purcellville

Ordered from Pen's a few years ago and was very disappointed, but I thought I'd give them another try today. My impression was accurate the first time. The General Tsao chicken tasted like it was left over from a previous day and refried, with very little chicken inside the hard chewy grease. No excuse because the restaurant had just opened for lunch and everything should have been freshly cooked. The sauce wasn't bad but there wasn't enough to flavor the tiny box of accompanying rice. And the crab rangoon was very salty. No rating was given for service and atmosphere because it was takeout. I like to support our Purcellville businesses, but I won't be getting food from...

Was hesitant from some of the reviews but very happy we gave it a try. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect, it was clean, and the staff was very friendly.

We had the crab ragoons as a starter, which were cooked perfectly and very delicious. Highly recommend.

The sweet and sour chicken was cooked to perfection and the flavor was excellent. Another highly recommend.

The orange chicken had great flavor and presentation but ended up being a bit dry. This was my only complaint.

We will absolutely be coming back and recommend this location if you are in the mood...

For the last time I've ordered something off of the menu and it wasn't even close. I ordered Szechuan Beef and got Hunan Beef. Most times I order Kung Pao Chicken and today it was 90 percent green peppers, 5 percent chicken, and 5 percent celery and peanuts. I've never had anything worse. Plus with every entre you order you get a kids size rice. It's awful. They obviously have the HVAC turned off because its always freezing cold or hot in there and smells like sewer. I want the old Pens back because Thai is way overpriced and Hot Wok isn't even...
