“This place was an amazing find. We had 5 or 6 rolls and they were all really, really good. The pricing is excellent, especially compared to some of the other sushi places we frequent. It's a small space and we sat at the bar, but it makes up for mediocre atmosphere with great food and service. If they offered an IPA their score would be even higher. We will definitely be back. Oh, and there is plenty of free surface parking, super easy.”

“So glad I made the trip down to try authentic Indonesian food in the DMV area! Ordered the Padang-Style Rice Platter (rice + beef rendang + jackfruit curry), Satay Padang & the Padang-Style Ayam Bakar. Everything was perfectly spiced and accompanied with the sambal made the whole meal delicious! Also ordered the traditional drink, Bajigur, which was perfect for the chilly rainy day.

They also offer various Indonesian products for sale like snacks & seasoning packets.”

“Our family's favorite. Proud Crave Card powerusers! They are always coming up with new and delish flavors of ices, pops, custard, drinks, and every kind of dessert you can imagine. Plus they offer coffee and breakfast! . The Fall Gelatis are our go-to desserts. I just wish they would post the flavors of the day online, but that would be hard because there are so many!”

An outstanding beer and wine selection. The staff is great and Volker in particular has been super helpful in giving us beer recommendations and info.

“I’m new to eating an actual meal at Java Nation (usually, I just grab coffee)… and boy, was I pleasantly surprised by the quality of today’s Honey Pear Beet Salad with Grilled Salmon. Slices of perfectly ripened Bosc Pear perched atop a bed of creamy Goat Cheese Fondue and crisp Mixed Greens, the plate jeweled with both Red and Golden Beets, Toasted
Almonds, and Red Onion; drizzled with Hot Honey and Apple Cider
Vinaigrette. And the Salmon was just as expertly prepared… the edges crisped, but the interior still silky. Wow, just WOW… I’ll definitely be back for more.”

“Donut King saved the day for me today! I was in search of Wi-Fi for an important work meeting after my power went out due to the snow storm. I decided to walk 1.5 miles in the snow to the Starbucks nearby only to be turned away as they were only taking drive-through customers. Thankfully I decided to walk around the corner and found Donut King was open with free Wi-Fi! The employees were so nice and friendly despite the cold. I ordered a cappuccino and logged onto my computer just in time for my meeting. My coffee was hand delivered, along with several donuts on the house, which turned out to be the only food I had for much of the day. This was an unexpected and delightful treat. Thank you, Donut King, for making my day!! I hope others will read this review and give this place a try. The food is great and the warm and welcoming atmosphere is hard to find these days. This is a neighborhood gem!! Please support local businesses and give this place a try.”
