“I visited Sorimmara in Annandale for lunch with a friend today, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout our meal. I definitely plan to come back again soon!”
“I recently moved to Annandale and was looking for good food and Kozy Ramen and bar did not disappoint! I love the original Tonkatsu Ramen with Chasu bun combo and pork Gyoza. The Ramen and the pork and everything is just so good and flavorful. I’ve been disappointed several times by Ramen restaurants in NOVA but I will definitely be returning here. The service was also great, and the staff was very friendly.”
“we came here on a saturday night. it's not very crowded and there's free parking nearby. it's a lively, bustling place with a bar, nice for hangouts!! we got the cheese sticks, tonkatsu cream pasta, rose tteokbokki and pork jowl suyuk. the portion is huge and the food is so gooood. overall it's a nice experience 😋‼‼”
“We ordered the pan-fried noodle and triple delight. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and we plan to make this a regular stop for dinner. The portions were very generous. I should have taken a picture but by the time I thought of it my dish was half empty. Next time.”

“This was a really cozy and yummy place. All of the workers are extremely friendly and the food made me want seconds. I got the sullungtang, the combination sullungtang and fried dumplings and it came with kimchi and it was soooo good. I totally recommend this place.”

“Decided to try mae ornnit with my sister based on the strong reviews they have. Our server provided excellent, attentive service from start to finish. Mixed reviews on the food: Papaya salad was a downer. Lacks that nice flavor with fish sauce and papaya slices were sliced a bit too thick. Tom kha gai and chicken wonton soups were a winner. Lovely coconut milk flavor for tom kha soup. Fried tofu was pretty decent. The sweet and sour sauce for crispy flounder rocked, but I was expecting a slightly fresher flounder than what we had. Overall a pretty nice experience and we may return if we pass by the area again.”

“Craving Korean fried chicken and wanted to try this spot located inside CafeV. Called and got a run down on the flavor profiles for the wings. Placed a take-away order over the phone for the Hot Spicy. Was advised it would take 20min. Not an issue. When we arrived we waited a few more minutes to retrieve our order. The female employee was welcoming. You can also order via kiosk or at the counter. The restaurant is always clean, brightly lit and offers conversation level popular music playing in the background.
We retrieved our order and when we got home the wings were still hot, temp wise. First bite, flavor explosion! So good. The skin was crispy and the sauce provided a gentle heat first and quickly intensified the more I ate, yum. The chicken itself was flavorful and moist. We will definitely order again. Me the Hot Spicy, perfect level of spices, heat and a touch of sweet and my husband wants to try his hand at the Wings of Fire!”
“Today I had a really satisfying meal at K-Street inside K Market.
The pork cutlet was very comforting and balanced — just a classic, reliable donkatsu flavor.
What impressed me the most was the tuna kimbap. The ratio of egg and carrot was excellent, and the flavor was clean, mild, and not salty or overpowering at all. It felt very different from the typical overly seasoned $9.99 kimbap.
Everything tasted fresh and well balanced.
I’d definitely recommend the donkatsu and kimbap at K-Street inside K Market if you are looking for a simple and satisfying Korean-style meal.”
“The malatang here is seriously one of the best I’ve had! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy, and all the ingredients taste super fresh. I especially loved how customizable everything is, you can pick exactly what you want and it always comes out delicious. The staff are also really friendly and welcoming!!!”
“Amazing experience! Everything was perfect.
I recently tried 9292 Shabu, and it was a wonderful dining experience. The vegetables were incredibly fresh and crisp, and the meat was so tender and high-quality.
They also nailed the sauces—everything was flavorful and well-made. The entire meal tasted delicious and clean. If you're looking for a great shabu-shabu spot with fresh ingredients and excellent taste, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! Will definitely be back.”

“Absolutely awesome food at Inshore Izakaya & Sushi! 🍣🔥 The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the izakaya selections were excellent. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and an overall fantastic dining experience. Definitely a place I’d come back to and highly recommend!”
“Favorite Salvadorean cuisine. My favorite meal is the "yuca con chicharrón," which is fried yucca root and pork crackling (rinds). This also includes shredded cabbage in the center as a side. I recommend reheating in an oven for better taste and texture.My second favorite meal is the chicken sandwich, which includes fries. It's about 8", has some lettuce and mayo in it. Pretty tasty. Same as above for reheating.My favorite sides are red beans or "pupusa revuelta." Pupusas are probably a transliteration of "pupus" or "pu-pu platters," which are similar to "tapas." These are bite-sized entrees or platters, but in this case, it is a fried, corn meal, pancake-like item similar to a 'tamal' in that it is corn-based, but it is flat and round and filled with either cheese, beans, or a combination of both (revuelta).Lastly, no meal comes with a drink included, but you can choose soft drinks, water, beer, coconut water, "horchata" or "jugo de marañón" (cashew juice). Horchata is the name of several kinds of beverages, made of ground almonds, sesame seeds, rice, barley, tigernuts, or melon seeds (in this case, it's a powdered mix). Jugo de marañon is cashew juice, a light sweet juice somewhat similar to guava juice and almond milk combined.Prices are very, very reasonable as is the quality of food. However, I cannot guarantee the best customer service. This does not deter my 5-star rating because I enjoy the food, not the people.Lastly, there is music videos or live fútbol (soccer) usually playing on about 3-4 TVs. There is a restroom for men and women, bit the women's restroom requires a key, which you obtain from the counter up front. They also sell pastries of central American style.”
“From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a beautifully designed space that feels both inviting and stylish. The attention to detail in the décor creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal.
The food here is outstanding! Every dish is crafted with care and delicious What truly sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure a great experience.”
“Great food and service! This is one of one favorite places to eat whenever we’re in town to visit our daughters. Jin and his team are the best!”
“We came in pretty late, closer to 9pm, but the place was still bustling. I cannot pinpoint if any of their dishes is exceptionally better than other Korean places, but I have a feeling I will keep coming back here. I love the simplicity of their sundubu and galbi. Their all-wood interior, felt like an old school late night restaurant in Korea. Seems like a perfect spot for a hearty meal and good chat.”

“Best pizza in Annandale hands down. Nothing comes close. It's a oasis in a pizza dessert. Ask for it crispy! Fantastic sauce and fresh topping, SUPER friendly staff, we are up to at least 10 times getting it, and it's been so good everytime, they crush it, highly recommended”

“You have got to ask for Jay Kim, he is the best server in the house. He was patient and ever so helpful with us as first time hot potters. I had a vegetarian hot pot, well, except for the dumplings. Although they have no vegetarian options, he worked with me and provided me with an alternate option. It would be more awesome for them to add it to their menu tho for those of us who just love veggies. The broth is vegetarian based so it makes sense to have a vegetarian option along with it. We had a party of 8 and Jay Kim made it so much fun!!! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. One other option that would have been great to have would be fresh ginger at the sauce bar and mushrooms on the vegetable plate. We were all pleasantly pleased with our food. The ambiance is very nice, low light but more than enough to cook and enjoy each other's company. Jay Kim made sure we always had what we needed. The sauce bar was amazing, so many choices. I recommend making a few bowls, some for the broth and and some for dipping your cooked food. If you get any type of meat, also make a sauce to marinade the meat. You don't have to but it made a good difference. Meats are thinly sliced for quick cooking and again,so fresh. The price was worth the amount of food and the experience. There is an all you can eat option or an a la carte option where you just get one meat selection and a vegetable plate which was more than enough for us as a party of young ladies. This was a great first hot pot experience and I definitely recommend it, just make sure to ask for Jay Kim. I know you will enjoy it!!!”

“Next stop on the Virginialicious Food Tour Company was Red Holic, and this one really stood out.
Great atmosphere, great energy, and just an overall fun experience. The food was excellent across the board, but what made this stop different was the personal touch. The owner came out, served us herself, poured the Korean beer, and took the time to walk us through everything we were eating. You could tell she genuinely cared that we understood and enjoyed the experience.
That kind of hospitality goes a long way.
And once again, Sujin kept everything running smooth. She does an incredible job tying each stop together and making sure you’re not just eating, but actually experiencing it.
This tour just keeps building momentum with every stop.”
“The staff were very welcoming when I entered the restaurant. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were extremely friendly — the service was excellent. The food and drinks were great, and the owner even gave us a couple of pieces of sashimi to try, which were amazing! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a fun night out with friends.”
“Fantastic! Fun! And best of all, delicious! Really friendly service, attentive to cooking the meats and getting more orders, and very reasonable pricing. Great for large groups. And, you get a popsicle at the end! Can’t wait to go back!”

“The first time I went here was today and I loved it!! I ordered the 6 pcs chicken dumplings (7.99 and drink + 4) and got a drink and studies in there. But it was a bit difficult for me to get here. But studying was good because it was pretty quiet because no one was there but other than that I would go again!!”
“I love the general tso chicken, orange chicken, and sesame chicken and my wife loves the Singapore noodles. I normally don't order chicken but this place is really good. Great prices, large portions and super fast delivery. Best in the area! Highly recommend.Update: We've been ordering from Hunan Heritage for over a month now and there is no question, they make delicious food. This is the only place I would order catering from. January 2024”
“I’ve been coming to Suny Sushi since they first opened, and it is — and probably always will be — my favorite sushi spot. The fish is so fresh and the sushi rolls are AMAZING. The owners are incredibly kind, and so is the entire staff. They even gift me miso soup sometimes (I come like once every two weeks haha).
I seriously recommend this place. It’s not too expensive at all, and the quality is just amazing.
My favorites are the Triple Salmon Roll, the Triple Connection, and the Mango Madness.”
“One needs to figure this place out and then it would be great. We went for lunch and it was a good price. Bulgogi burrito is fusion and is really good. If you order traditional Mexican ask for a side of their very good house made sriracha -->instant fusion. Someone else’s fajitas also looked good. All food comes out hot. Decor is very nice. Servers were very nice. The only problem was how long it took to get a takeout order (was told 15 mins it took 40 and there were only three other people in the place). Next time, I will plan ahead and order as we drive and give the kitchen a 10 minute head start. Worth planning ahead for the burrito!”
“Today I place an order around noon for delivery at 9:00pm. I order the dish Soondae+Bossam, the order came right at 9:00pm on the dot. This little girl came out the car name Jenny with mask and gloves(due to all the virus going around)... very professional and clean. Food was great 10 out of 10. Would strongly recommend eatting here!”
“There are so many pho restaurants in NOVA, but Pho Hai Duong has quickly become my favorite. I order their combination pho with extra hoisin and jalapeños at least once a week, and with their early opening hours I can even get pho for breakfast! I love the quality of their meat, the flavor of their broth, and the consistency of the meal each time I order. I definitely recommend this restaurant and feel spoiled to be able to eat there so regularly. 💯”
“This place is my go-to spot, and I genuinely enjoy the food here. While it might not be the cleanest or the most welcoming environment, the food make up for it. The owner changed a couple of years ago, I believe, but the dishes still taste great. Their pho has a rich, flavorful broth that I really enjoy. I also tried most of their offerings, which I found satisfying. If you're looking for quick and tasty Vietnamese food, I truly recommend this place.”
“Ben Gong's Tea locations are not that common, but they make their mark by producing consistent drinks every time I go.
The cups here are unique and I like their designs. I get their cheese slush or mango sago. While I like Yi Fang's mango sago better, ben gong also has a decent drink.
I always feel like their drinks are never that cold. Perhaps because the cups are a little more insulated?”
“This is my 3rd time ordering from here and every time, food has been amazing! I’ve ordered for dine and take out and customer service was great. From the island to the mainland glad that L & L don't miss a beat serving Ono grinds!”
“The portions are huge and everything is so delicious. Whenever we go, we always order the All-You-Can-Eat BBQ, or if we're there for lunch, the Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy pork stir-fry). It's so good — healthy, tasty, and everyone is always so friendly.”
“I've been going to Mad For Grill for years, before it was mad for grill and called Nak Won. Not sure if the owners changed but the food is still delicious. Of all the options in Annandale, especially when there are AYCE options, the reason why I choose this place are -
The seafood pancake and cold noodles are the best here. And the kimchi is also very very good. Although it is not the cheapest option, in terms of taste, I tent to lean towards Mad For Grill.”
“The place is incredibly clean, and the food is fantastic. It has a great vibe for hanging out with friends! The staff is incredibly friendly and kind.
Highly recommend to check this place out!”
“Vibe is the place to be at 5pm on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Mark and Ly have been super cheerful, helpful, and accommodating this evening and deserve a shoutout. Bonus points if you show up past 9pm because they have a live DJ! If you are looking for a place to spend your weekend evenings, this spot is definitely a major recommendation! You won’t regret its. The vibe is immaculate!”
“Wow. One of the best restaurant experiences ever. A cozy, humble place. One of the most delicious jajangmyeons I've ever had. Generous portions. Very friendly staff. And prices so low that my friend and my looked at each other shocked when we got the bill and asked the wait staff what was going on. She said that the owner lowered the prices this summer because times were hard on everyone due to the recession. Can't recommend enough.”
“I’ve been here a couple times since they moved locations and the food remains consistently good.
The haemul pajeon has lots of seafood and is perfectly fried. The jeyuk bokkeum is the perfect amount of spicy and always hits the spot when eaten with the hot fresh rice. The yukgaejang is hot and warms the soul.
The ventilation at the restaurant could be better but the food makes up for that. Highly recommend coming here!!”
“We went on Saturday around 6 pm and were able to find parking. Food and service were excellent. Not very busy. However, they are known for more late night business.
Keeping this review here from December 2025 or so: 3 stars
We have been trying to go here with no success. There is never amy parking even after sitting in the parking lot for 15 mins waiting on someone to come out. Surrounding parking areas are blocked off or have towing signs posted. We will keep trying to go, however, since the reviews are good.”

“20251129 Stopped by around 3:20 pm for a snack, and got a large fries and large strawberry banana smoothie. The fries were hot and yummy. The smoothie was in a large cup with medium size content. It had small chunks of ice. It wasn't as good as the Mango Pineapple smoothie that I usually get. I wonder if I was to order a medium, Seoul the cup be filled with size small content?”

“Exceptional coffee! Even the decaf is amazing, which is hard to fine. My husband loves their cold brew and it’s nice that the cold brew with cold foam has non and half sweet options. Service is great and it’s a relaxing place to sit. The menu is unique and delicious.”
“The owner was really nice i liked the banana pie matcha, i really dont like matcha, but this banana pie matcha changed my mind and you should get it. The brown sugar boba was great aswell. The workers made it really good, it tasted just perfect. The games there was cool and fun to do.”
“Ordered the loco moco bowl. The patty was nicely charred and the curry sauce really helped with the flavor. I think the over easy egg paired really well. I expected the veggies to be a little bland and/or dry but they were nicely steamed. Just basic veggies but enjoyable.
The kolua pork tasted really good with the sweet chili sauce. I would pair that personally with some sweet Hawaiian rolls if you bring some”
“Ordered via Uber eats. Food was delicious, just like my Lola’s. The lechon was better than all other local options I grew up trying in this area.
Cannot speak to in-person experience, but the kind note on the takeout container says all I need to know about this business. Highly recommend!”
“Pretty standard Dunkin' in terms of the food and drinks, so if you like Dunkin' food/drink, you will like what they serve. Inside, their music choices are really good. I will say that the parking is not something I am a real fan of, as it is a gravel lot in the back, and sometimes there tends to be some unhoused people who like to hang out by the back so I wouldn't say it is the safest place to be, even if it is the middle of the afternoon when you go.”
