    This is still our favorite place to have lunch in Alexandria. The bento box option is wonderfully tasty and filling. The service is always attentive - we had Noah helping us this time. It’s a shame Yunnan is leaving Alexandria, but we’ll be visiting their future location in Pentagon City.

    Space is beautiful. Some food was great like the roasted oysters and the steak. Other items not so good like the crudo and French fries. Wine list is extremely poor. Place was on the empty side which did not add to the ambience. Couch seating was cozy. Not sure if I will be back.

    It was an office holiday luncheon. It took a few minutes for the waitress to stop by and take our order, but after that slight delay, everything was excellent. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I plan to return.
