“Mama Cheng is a decent Chinese spot. It's slightly upscale with good effort on the décor and the prices will reflect that. The waitresses were very attentive and the food came out relatively fast. If you're planning dinner on weekends, you should reserve in advance. 30-minute to an hour wait is typical for walk-ins during peak hours.The lamb skewers and cauliflower tempuras were my favorite. The duck is average. Fried snow pea leaves and mapo tofu are the dishes you must get. The tofu in mapo tofu is so silky soft that it feels like they make them from scratch. Please beware that their menu tends to be changing over time. It's possible that they no longer serve some of the dishes in the pictures you see on Yelp and Google.VERDICT: Good Chinese option for a not-too-often big family dinner“

“Came here for a birthday, had a reservation but still had to wait 15mins, not a huge deal but be aware. Service was friendly but not very attentive. Had to flag our waitress down every time I needed anythingThe food: steaks were cooked to perfection and were some of the best I’ve had in the dmv. Rockfish was exceptionally good. Cesar salad was fantastic.Busy place prices are reasonable for what you get in quality of food but definitely not cheap.If you appreciate a quality steak I would highly recommend Ozzie’s. I will be trying it again.Parking: Parking wasn’t hard to find but may need to walk a block or two.“

Meat feeling off the bone good!!If you’re ever at Coastal Flats, the crabcake sliders are an absolute MUST since they don’t have them at other locations (at least from what i know)!! This is a NON negotiable, so freaking good!!!!The bread pudding is always warm inside and the ice cream is a perfect pair to match with it.“

“Excellent restaurants don't need lengthy good reviews. Just five stars and a concise description. Then, you have to go try it yourself.Service: agile, courteous, hot Naan and icy water always refilled.Decor: cozy, modern, and reflective of Bollywood sense.Cleanliness: Table cloths, utensils, floors, plates, everything is clean and emasculate.Food: cooked to perfection, an excellent variety of meats and vegetarian dishes.Management: The manager must be the (co)owner of the place because he's always there instructing waiters and paying attention to every detail. I once heard him telling the waiter "if the chair is a bit shaky, don't ever seat the customer on it".Price: I've always gone there for Lunch buffet only. Absolutely reasonable for the quality of the food.I keep taking more and more friends to this place because it's the best Indian buffet I've ever tried in Northern Virginia.Just go and see for yourself!“

“Shabu Shabu is a type of hot pot dish in which you dip meat slices and vegetables into boiling water, season them to your liking, and enjoy them. This type of food is perfect for a cold day. We had Shabu Shabu at this restaurant and found it to be delicious. We also enjoyed the appetizers we ordered. However, it's not an all-you-can-eat hot pot place and we felt that the portion sizes were a bit small for the price.“

“It was definitely busy, but not overcrowded for Mother’s Day. The service was nothing short of excellent. We got our drinks from the bar exceptionally quick. They were fantastic as well. We were never without anything we needed as the wait staff was extremely attentive. Two managers came up to our table to apologize for the “food delay” except none of us felt we were waiting long. To them, it was too long and that shows how much they pride themselves in service. To us it felt like a normal day at a busier restaurant. Our food was outstanding. Everything cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I will definitely be back.“

“Came here Sunday for a late lunch—we didn’t have reservations but luckily they had a table available for 3 ppl, and even space at the bar. The restaurant decor is so cute inside!Food was delicious! Recommend the Roti Canai, Papaya Salad and Tom Yum Soup for starters, and for entrees, the Pad See Eiw with Beef, Hainanese Chicken and Massaman Curry. The Singapore Chili Crab ($85 for Whole Dungeness Crab) was good—huge portion with lots of meat, but I felt the sauce was a bit overloaded with too much tomato, like ketchup flavor. For dessert, our server brought out a slice of the Pandan Castella Cake with a candle since we were celebrating a birthday! Cocktails were great, we got two rounds each—loved my Lychee Martini and the others enjoyed their Papaya Mule and Chrysanthemum Highball.Service was great here—food came out fairly quick and our server Madi was super cool and very attentive. Will definitely come back to try more of their dishes!“

This is the best Greek food we’ve had … might have been better than the food we had in Greece! The service took everything to another level. Thank you Milan for all of your recommendations and for all of your jokes :)“
