“Delicious food and great dining experience. Go there for a date night, or take the kids for a dinner out. It’s romantic enough for the former, kid-friendly enough for the latter. Gyro platter is delicious, as is the souvlaki and spanakopita. Treat yourself to the baklava…you won’t regret it.”

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.”

“Alisa is excellent with service and outstanding at the front. She makes very good crepes and it tastes fantastic . She suggested us for banana strawberry crepe and was out of this world. Should have more people like her to represent your business. We will definitely come again for Banana strawberry crêpe .”

“First time having and very impressed! I got the Chicken Tikka pizza and combo over rice and it’s amazing. This is the best pizza I have ever had! A plus because it’s Halal”

“Consistently great food! I order from here often and I usually get the same thing every time, but today I decided to try something different and got the Singaporean style noodles. DELICIOUS. And they give you a healthy portion. I opted to have it a little spicy and it was the perfect amount of spice. Found my new favorite dish to order!”

“buen servicio 👍 excelente los meseros les doy un 10”

“Our second time here and I want to return and try more yummy food. So many original items on menu, it’s hard to choose. My sandwich was amazing. The fries are fresh and hot. I’m glad music wasn’t as loud as our previous visit in summer. I hear the pizza is delicious. It’s so great to have something close to us out here in the “country “. I like supporting local businesses”

“When I say this was a delicious scone, I mean it was the polar opposite of dry, the MOST flavorful and moist scone I have ever had in my LIFE. I’m in my 40’s, just sayin!!! Also tried the Oreo Cheesecake, it was absolutely delicious! Glad I finally stopped by ❤️”

“We ordered tonight and everything was delicious!!!! The sauces were so flavorful, and the vegetable Pakora were so light and delicious. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back!!”

“My daughter and I had an incredible dining experience at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar, all thanks to our amazing waitress, Joanne! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for the whole meal. Her patience was remarkable, especially when we had a few questions about the menu, and she offered insightful, accurate recommendations that truly made our meal memorable. Not only was she knowledgeable about the dishes, but her sense of humor made the experience so much fun! She was so personable, treating us like old friends rather than just customers. On top of that, her level of customer service was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, and always checking in at the right moments. We truly appreciated the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism she brought to the table, and it really elevated our time at Hook & Reel. My daughter and I will definitely be returning, and we’ll be hoping to see her again!”

“Authentic, delicious Oaxacan food! The owners are so passionate – not only is the food spectacular but you will also come away knowing so much more about regional Mexican cuisine. DC has needed a restaurant like this for a loooooong time. Go eat there and support them as soon as possible!!!”

“I went for the first time over the weekend. The place was so clean and the employees were very friendly! I loved the options that I got to pick from that day! The store is great and I will be going back as soon as possible!”

“Oya Sushi is hands down the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever been to, and I’ve tried a lot!
From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special.
The aburi tamagoyaki (pillowy Japanese egg omelet) topped with corn and special cheese blend then seared to perfection are absolutely out of this world – a must-try! The omg refresher, a cucumber and radish sprouts wrapped in salmon with ponzu sauce, is a refreshing and delicious bite.
Don't even get me started on the honey garlic crunch edamame – it's sweet, savory, garlicky, and crunchy. I couldn’t stop eating it, even sucking on the edamame skin (trust me, you’ll understand once you try it). Their nigiri is phenomenal, with fresh uni, salmon, and toro that were just melt-in-your-mouth good.
The chef-curated selection of fish was beyond impressive, and the firecracker rolls were the perfect balance of heat – absolutely perfect with the light Mio sparkling sake.

Oya Sushi truly delivers on every front, and it’s undeniable that it’s the best Japanese restaurant in MD

I live in GA, but if I were in MD, I would absolutely be here at least once a week. Can’t wait to be back 😀”

“The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that left us wanting more. The service was incredibly fast and efficient.”

“Consistently excellent food. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“❤️ love this place. Great boba and atmosphere!”

“Burger is a burger is a burger. It’s what I need it to be! Food and drink and friends. This is a great local place to bring your loved ones.
Edit - My one qualm is that one time, my partner ordered a burger and while two of our burgers came out, he had to wait nearly 45 minutes for his. I’m still going to come back, but that was a bit surprising and disappointing and I hope that doesn’t happen again! I really like the atmosphere!”

“Because of the closeness to home our sons had taking us for Dinner it was GREAT Place! my husband and myself go there occasionally!”

“We had a small wedding party catered with Ed’s wonderful chicken and plantains. Everything was delicious. The chicken is so tender and juicy. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!”
