“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

“Amazing customer service and food! The employees are friendly and helpful!“

“I ordered the Mo’sahab 6 piece spicy chicken box that came with fries. The guy was very friendly and warned me it would take about 15 minutes.

The chicken was massive! You get very good size piece and I assume they made it fresh given the time it took and the fact that it was piping hot. Spice is very moderate intensity. The dipping sauce was okay. It would’ve been nice to have other varieties of sauces. Only complaint was that the portion were so large I couldn’t finish it. A 2 or 3 piece portion would’ve been sufficient.“

“I love taken the family there on the weekends. They have very good food in a child friendly environment. They always have something for everyone in the family that would personalize and enjoy.“

“What a special place to have a meal! Fantastic food and service. Fair pricing and simply exquisite food for dinner or weekend brunch. Staff is really knowledgeable and kind, always love coming to this restaurant. Also, it’s nice that it is a well lit dining area and not too loud to have conversations in. Great spot.“

“The crispy mushroom sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever. So crispy and full of flavor. Mac n cheese was pretty top shelf as well. Fast and friendly service.“

“Been to his old location in Arlington and frequent his current location. Not only a great person, provides great food and hospitality!“

“I recently tried K BBQ, and it was a great experience overall. I ordered the wings, and they were cooked to perfection super crispy with great flavor. There are plenty of sauce and flavor options to choose from, and I went with the Golden Original wings, which did not disappoint. The order came with 8 wings, and they were filling and well-seasoned. As a college student, it is a bit on the pricier side, but I definitely think it was worth it for the quality. I was able to find street parking nearby, and the wait time was about 15 minutes, which wasn’t bad at all. I would definitely come back and recommend it if you’re in the mood for really good wings.“

“Went to the opening of Sheffield store was nice and clean food was excellent staff were friendly especially Matty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stop by there with one of my great nephews to grab a bite (he's always raving about the food there! Me, I love the ice cream) to eat. The cashier was friendly and atmosphere was good!
The one thing that really touch me was the people working there didn't throw out the one woman asking food for her and another woman to share. 💖 She wasn't being aggressive or anything just sitting at a table with the other woman. I bought them some food and drinks. But, that experience also taught me that any kind of circumstances can happen to anyone to cause you to fall into that same situation, you never know. I felt grateful walking out of there. ☺️🙏 I guess that's why I forgot my cookie! 😂 But I felt great! ♥️“

“Awesome“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Passing through Maryland we were hungry and wanted seafood drove 20 minutes out of our way to try a place in the same strip mall.
We were so glad to stumble.on this place
.its been over 10 years since I've had Korean food. It didnt disappoint. So much FLAVOR so fresh!!! If we lived in the area this would be a weekly stop! I had the Bimbimbap.iy was outstanding. My husband had the BBQ chicken and said he has never had chicken so tender!!“

“Astro Doughnuts in D.C. absolutely delivered. I tried the classic glazed and the maple bacon, and both were genuinely mouth‑watering. The glaze had that perfect light sweetness and soft texture, while the maple bacon struck the ideal balance of salty, smoky, and sweet without being overwhelming.

If you’re craving doughnuts that feel indulgent but thoughtfully crafted, Astro is a must‑visit. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their flavors.“

“I enjoy Dave’s Hot Chicken.
Location is clean, bright and inviting. Staff is friendly, helpful and chill. I got the 18 pc today, never had it. It’s the saucy chicken. Flavors I got were: Mike’s Hot Honey, Spicy Buffalo and Spicy BBQ. The hot honey tasted abysmal, I didn’t like it whatsoever but since it’s part of my total order I covered it in sauce and ate it but I will never go for that again. Either change the recipe (suggestion) or remove it but everything else was tasty. I normally get other menu items but I generally recommend Dave’s“

“Stayed at a local hotel and ordered from Door Dash. SECRET SPICY CHICKEN was great. Pretty much like General Tso's Chinese but a tad spicier. Large pieces of good quality chicken, even the medium order was too much for me. Pair it with steamed white rice, put the rice in the sauce. Very good.“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“

“I tried their food for the first time yesterday, based on a recommendation of a new employee at my place of work. I was absolutely shocked by how delicious the sandwich was. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the rooster sauce was dynamite! After lunch, I recommended it to another coworker who then also ordered it for lunch and tried it for the first time. She said she had the same experience I had- life changing! If you’re looking for a chicken sandwich, this is the place to go!“

“we LOVE Chick-fil-A anywhere, but this new on in DC is Amaaaaaaazing!!! Clean and neat! The staff is SO friendly! The owner is awesome and helps the community.“

“Both the service and food were outstanding 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The spicy miso soup was delicious, and the noodles were incredibly chewy. I loved it!“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Very nicely priced tasty dinners- half chicken with suitably prepared sides- plantains, rice and beans, vegetable rice. Spicy sauces also can kick up the flavor a notch. Pleasant courteous professional staff in a clean well lighted place. I will recommend to come here“

“Best chicken!! Hope they will open a store in FL“

“Hands down the best hot chicken in Arlington. The spice level is legit and that Sichuan peppercorn twist makes it stand out from any other chicken joint. It’s been my go-to for a quick, spicy fix for years. Truly a neighborhood gem that I’ll miss dearly after the Rosslyn one was closed down.“

“Tonight was our first time in your restaurant. Great experience start to finish. It was clean and organized. The staff was incredibly friendly to a person. The customer service was great. And most importantly the food was perfectly cooked and delicious! Well done! We’ll be back!“

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken, and a big part of that was thanks to Terrill. From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. He took the time to make sure my order was exactly right and even gave great recommendations.

What really stood out was his attitude—he was patient, upbeat, and clearly cares about giving customers a great experience. Even when it got busy, he stayed calm and kept everything moving smoothly without making anyone feel rushed.

It’s not every day you come across someone who goes above and beyond like that. Terrill definitely made my visit better, and because of him, I’ll be coming back for sure. Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have him!“

“I bought a surprise bad using the Too Good To Go app. It is a great way to save money and also prevent good food/supplies from being thrown away. It is reasonable and convenient, no need to cook.

The customer service was good. The cashier was pleasant and the food was delivered promptly.

The meal tasted fresh and was served hot.

Good buy!“

“The food is delicious and healthy. Customer service is wonderful. Meals are well presented and served with a variety of vegetables. Make you feel like you receive a flavor from the whole world. Note that Abraham knows how to cook and makes you feel welcome in a clean environment while enjoying your exceptional food.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious, crispy, flavorful chicken that hits the spot every time. The sandwich was perfectly seasoned, and the fries were fresh and satisfying. You can tell they put care into the quality, and it really shows in the taste.
That said, the price point is tough to swallow. Over $16 for just one sandwich and fries feels excessive, especially when compared to similar spots. I’d love to come back more often, but the cost makes it more of an occasional splurge than a regular go-to.
If you’re looking for amazing chicken and don’t mind paying a premium, Hangry Joe’s won’t disappoint. Just be prepared for the sticker shock.“

“Best Peruvian chicken, everything else is just charbroil chicken. Nothing compares to the flavor. The only dislike I have is that the beans count as a side, and rice counts as another side. Rice and bean should be a single side, in my opinion. What do guys think? Other than that, it would've been a 5 star rating.“

“🌶❤️🌶 We love the delicious chicken at Nando’s! They have awesome vegetarian items as well! Get the warm pastels de Natas for dessert. Life changing!!“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Hidden gem in Eden Center. Worth the effort to find this place deep in one of the interior corridors of Eden Center. True to its name, the chicken pho (great for those who don’t want beef broth) is amazing as is the Vietnamese take on seafood tom yum soup with rice noodles. Absolutely delicious and spicy. Free iced tea came with the meal. Vietnamese iced coffee also great. Clean and modern. Will be back to try other items. Great for a quick lunch.“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“The food was excellent. I have never had South African cuisine before, and it made me wish I had access to it at home.“

“I recently ordered through Postmates from this location for delivery. I got the spring rolls, mango sticky rice, and curry puffs.

The spring rolls were really good, they had I think glass noodles along with the veggies inside. They are quite small so they give you 4 of them.

The curry puffs are an item I have gotten from multiple restaurants and theirs were on the small size but they give you 3 instead of the usual 2. They were a bunch more spicy compared to others and it was too spicy for my liking. This is the only time I haven't finished an order of curry puffs due to taste. The cucumber-vinegar sauce also wasn't very good. It wasn't vinegary enough, basically tasted watered down and this is a crucial part of the dish, so I was a bit disappointed.

The mango stick rice was incredibly good! The mango was perfectly fresh and ripe! They give you a decent portion of sticky rice with coconut and such on top. If for no other reason I'll be ordering from them again just to get more of this and to try other dishes!

A suggestion: one thing that would improve my experience and enjoyment is if the store had a sweet plum type sauce that wasn't spicy that was made in the restaurant with good natural ingredients. Many of the prepackaged sauces have ingredients I'm unable to eat due to food allergies. I would pay more, and order more often if I really liked the sauce. One example in the market is Chipotle makes their Polynesian sauce that I buy in the large bottles because it's the only sweet and sour type sauce I can eat and use it for all stores nuggets because they make it themselves without all the artificial ingredients. I also order coconut shrimp from red lobster as opposed to other places because I love their pina colada sauce.... just a thought. There are a lot of us who can't eat the artificial stuff. Msg is another one that commonly is a problem for those with migraine and it would be great if you had a good alternative. I think restaurants underestimate the value of a good sauce from scratch.“

“Great service and very good food.“

“When I lived in Botswana in 2005 I used to go to Nando's all the time... Then I heard they came to DC and started spreading across US. I was finally able to come to one here and I was not disappointed. Awesome service and great chicken. Definitely recommend“

“I made my first order last week. 10/10 on the quality of the meals, taste and literally so easy to order. Can’t wait to pick out next weeks dishes.“

“The original Rotisserie chicken is season perfectly, I love the corn salad it marinates with the campero rice as well“

“I thought that this location was great! It's nice to have a BWW that I can carry out wings from without having to walk into a busy restaurant. The wings were ready in a timely fashion and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was also very clean. Will be returning 👍🏾“
