“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC”

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
Hot Pot • $$
“The BEST VALUE all-you-can-eat place! Excellent, fresh food and clean!!! (even their women's bathroom is clean!) And great services, especially Amy! By the way, it is hard for me to believe this restaurant does not get 5 stars! We travel all the way from VA to this place at least two times a month. We just love it!!! P.S. I read the reviews that did not give them 5 stars and feel those reviews may not be fair to them. As an example, one review gave them a 4-star commenting food is great, quality is great, but expensive. Yes, if you compare this place with most cheap Chinese all you can ear places, $33 does seem expensive. However, fresh and high-quality food cost me. I am willing to pay extra for good, fresh food. As another example, I was shocked to see a review giving them only 3 stars commenting she got sick (even though she said she loved the food there). I was wondering if she did not cook her food well in the hot pot, or she couldn't handle the spices.”
Salad • $$
“We have a big party in Choyhona on Saturday, March 9th. The tables were set beautifully, salads and kebabs were tasty (most recommend Kutabi with meat). Everything was served in time. Waiters were friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.”

Gyoza 🥟🤌 The best I've ever had. The dough wrapper so delicate it practically melted in my mouth.
Miso soup ✅ A classic, hard to mess up, but I really liked that it had many tofu & seaweed pieces.
The atmosphere is great, you can watch the Chef's prepare your rolls fresh behind the bar. The service was phenomenal and the prices very reasonable. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.”

“My favorite place to dine at Rio. This place is always packed, so pack some patience if you have to wait. I enjoy their house beers- especially the House IPA, House Lager and House Golden Pilsner. For appetizers, can’t go wrong with their poke nachos, probably their signature dish. Other favorites are their wings and Jumbo pretzels.
The menu is huge so there is something for everyone. My favorites are the Lobster Garlic Noodles, Stacked Turkey Club, Cobb salads and cheesesteak.
Their happy hour deals are pretty good. They do have a waitlist you can join on their app. Hard to believe this used to be a Romano’s Macaroni Grill.”

Coffee Shops • $
“I ordered online thinking I would avoid the craziness that is the 24 hour Dunkin Baskin on a Friday night, so because I chose to order online I had to sit in the parking lot to wait for my pick up time (30 mins) which I rather do than to wait in line. While I waited I noticed it was starting to get hectic in the store. I only saw one employee putting orders up taking orders making things and I thought to myself wow how will she get to my order. As I saw as minutes went by she kept completing the orders and by the time my pick up time came I went in and realized she was just starting the order. With eagerness I told her that I saw her help all those customers and that I was impressed! Omilia deserves a raise or better yet, promote her to train staff on how to handle the rush and how to deliver. Also please do better at supplying the best products for customers. This location needs more employees like Omilia and better ice cream flavors!”

“Stopped here to get a friend a Big Mac, quarter pounder with cheese, and a large fry. I haven't been to Mickey D's in a decade so believe me I was surprised to see the food cost over $18. The service was friendly and quick. No idea about the food. I didn't eat it. I will say that the drive thru location is bad for the traffic flow around it.”

The noodles are hand pulled and made fresh every day and you can tell by the excellent texture and flavor! My new favorite restaurant! Also we were honored by four songs excellently played on the baby grand piano. Thank you for a delightful dinner, perfect service, and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend Chopin Noodle House and look forward to trying more dishes on the menu. ❤”

Bakery • $$
“Personally, I think that this crumble is great It has all the cookies not all the time because it’s a very crowded area because there’s a lot of people over there so they don’t always have all the people stock but I do think that when they have it they have really good cookies besides the ones I’ve had before from different stores have been too chewy too hard to raw, but this crumble makes sense great and I recommend this crumble a lot!”

“My wife and I are from southwest of China. I would say Chef Lee's Element makes the best and the most authentic southwest Chinese dishes in DC area. We've tried almost every dish and it never lets us down. For the service, I want to thank Micheal for his kind and wonderful service, he is always smiling and talkative and gives his nice recommendations of the dishes. We go there almost every week.”

Home fries were seasoned well and perfect crispness. Sausage, egg and cheese croissant sandwich was large and tasty. Coffee was good. Price is out of this world value for the current times we are in. Try this place, the atmosphere was inviting, cozy, neighborhood diner.”

The Spicy Tuna Crunch Roll was punchy and fresh, just the right amount of kick, and their salmon-avocado nigiri hit the spot — delicate fish and perfect rice-to-fish balance. We appreciated how affordable everything was and how generous the portions felt. Worth dropping by if you’re after solid, tasty sushi without overthinking it.”

“When the quality of food of some Pinoy restaurants have faltered or deteriorated through time after a big bang opening or having a change of hands from previous owners, Matthew's Grill has maintained a high quality of sumptuous entrées and desserts having reasonable prices and amiable service a throughout the years even pre covid. It is worth every trip from Virginia to Matthew's Grill. Carry on Raymond and crew!”

“Peter Changs is our favorite Chinese take out. We ordered the “GuoBao” sweet sour flounder. It’s usually very good. This time there was barely any sauce. Maybe it was an off night. We also ordered the spicy dry fried bamboo fish. The cumin gives it a slight curry flavor but it’s very good! We love it. The egg scallion fried rice is a good pairing.”

“Would highly recommend Han Spot for large party reservations/events. We had a 70 person anniversary dinner and their staff was very accommodating to our requests. They were easy to work with in creating a set menu, table setup, open bar, and use of their AV system for the event. Additionally the staff that worked the event were incredibly friendly and helpful on the day. Not to mention the food was wonderful and great portions for family style dinner.”

“Personally, I think that this crumble is great It has all the cookies not all the time because it’s a very crowded area because there’s a lot of people over there so they don’t always have all the people stock but I do think that when they have it they have really good cookies besides the ones I’ve had before from different stores have been too chewy too hard to raw, but this crumble makes sense great and I recommend this crumble a lot!”

“Celebrated my birthday at Empress Coffee & Cocktails with my girls, and it was everything! The food and drinks were incredible -- we tried so many dishes and loved every bite. The Persian pizza (a house favorite) was full of flavor, the soup and grilled cheese combo was pure comfort, and the turkey + havarti sandwich, bacon egg croissant, and margarita pizza were all delicious and perfectly done. The drinks? Just wow. The espresso martini is an absolute yes! We also loved the butterfly margarita, lava-shak martini, and Malibu sunset -- all beautifully crafted and fun to sip. Plus, they offer a nice selection of wines and juices to purchase. Shots were order as well. Had too much fun didn't take pictures of all the food and drinks. The space itself is perfect for a girls' day or night out -- stylish and cozy with beautiful lighting and thoughtful décor. We especially loved the artwork of the girl with the pearl earrings -- such a fun and elegant touch! We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves, which made the whole evening feel extra special. Huge shoutout to Sam, the owner, who was such a warm and welcoming host. Highly recommend this gem for a celebration or a chill hangout. Can't wait to go back!”

“I ordered a taco. It was good. I just did not like that they charge you so much for one order. For example when you order it's not two tacos like in other restaurants it's charged per one order. Most restaurants when you order tacos they give you two tacos. They also need more cooks. Other than that it is ok.”

“We love this pizza from Andy’s. We go at lease twice a week. The crust is amazing. I highly recommend the margarita if you don’t like too much cheese. The staff are energetic and always helpful. You would like this pizza if you try it once. A large pizza will cost about $27, but it is worth it if you like quality.”
