44 Best Salad Restaurants near Annandale

“My recent visit to Sari Filipino Kusina with my son was nothing short of a delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere drew us in. The restaurant combines modern decor with touches of Filipino culture, creating a setting that’s both stylish and cozy.

The food is the real highlight. We started with lumpiang shanghai, which was perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, a promising start to our meal. I went for the adobo, which was tender, rich, and savory, while my son chose the sinigang, a soup that had just the right balance of tanginess and warmth. The lechon kawali we shared was incredibly crispy outside, with melt-in-your-mouth tenderness inside—a true treat.

Dessert was a shared halo-halo, and it was fantastic. It’s a layered, colorful mix of flavors and textures that ended the meal on a refreshing note.

Sari Filipino Kusina is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Filipino flavors or wants to try something new. Our meal here was not just food—it was a shared experience that we’ll remember fondly. Highly recommended!“

“Service was great, very attentive. Food is always on point 😉“

“10s across the board, this place never disappoints. William and his team are always on their game. Their service is swift, friendly, and diligent. I’ve never been to a business with consistently fantastic product across the board. I have no complaints or constructive comments. Price is on the higher end for “fast-food” but well worth it for the result, service and food. I take all of my friends here and rave about it to whoever will listen. I highly recommended their spicy garlic noodles!“

“This little cafe is top notch! Can’t give enough stars! From the warm greeting when we walked in to thank you’s as we walked out, we had a great experience here. Never before have we been greeted and treated so warmly at a restaurant. The food was incredible! This was our first time at a Latin restaurant and we were not disappointed! This is a must try place!“

“10 out of ten would recommend my server Alexis was amazing definitely having to come again“

“That Fresh salad is everything!! All in all, we love Mikes!!“

“Delish! We need one of these in Hampton Roads! Their staff was super friendly and helpful!“

“I visited the restaurant last week and I really enjoyed it. It was a lovely experience; the food was on time and hot. Above all, Eleticia service was very welcoming. She has great charisma and a smile when serving customers, and I noticed it wasn't just me. The most impressive thing was that when I was leaving, she came to open the door for me. Excellent service and food.“

“Tried the Chesapeake Bay Crab Stir Fry , it was really good but I recommend ordering it with extra old bay broth“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“Great Taste, Nice Ambiance and Quick Service.“

“Friendly staff -great food !“

“But i wish they gave you least 6 toppings free!!!!“

“This was my first visit to Honeygrow after passing by it many times on previous trips to the shopping center. The ordering process is done through a kiosk, but since it was my first time, Geo kindly stepped in and walked me through everything. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and accommodating—truly A1 customer service!

On top of that, I really enjoyed the stir-fry selection. The food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu.“

“Just ordered from here for the first time and the food came quickly and was impressively good. I recommend the lamb/chicken combo.“

“I just wanted to say thanks for the super customer service! I inadvertently placed an order into this restaurant. I called in to let them know that I would not be picking it up as I had ordered at the wrong location. The very nice person from this store asked me where I meant to place the order. She said she would call the right store and give them the order. And that there would be no additional charge. I can't begin to express how grateful I am for that! That really made my day! Small acts of kindness make a huge difference. Thanks so much!!!“

“Delicious and all you can eat is worth it especially for sashimi loves like my boys! They devour a TON so it's worth every penny. Food is so good here. My daughter and I only eat the Hibachi really. They do offer nuggets and fries for picky toddlers and 3 and under eat free! Staff is always GREAT!“

“We did take out and couldn’t have been more surprised at how great the food it. We each had three good sized tacos, had plenty of meat and other yummy fillings, adequately messy so you know you just had an excellent taco. This will definitely need to be a repeat in our eating out list.“

“We went for Sunday brunch yesterday and our server was CJ. The bottomless mimosas were served in coup glasses and were plentiful (limit of 5 per person 👍🏻). I had the Huevos Rancheros which were served with breakfast potatoes and the order was big enough to share. The service was quick and thoughtful. I’d definitely recommend Drapers for Sunday brunch. The lunch and dinner menu looked interesting and I’m sure we’ll be back. A corner jewel in old towne Fairfax.“

“Awesome salads“

“There were eight of us dining, and every single one of us had the most incredible food we have ever eaten. From the appetizers to the main dishes to their specialty drinks. We are a family who enjoys dinners out and by far this has been one of the best so far highly recommend ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Hands down the best vegan Ruben I’ve ever had. The rye bread was toasted perfectly, the sauerkraut was tangy, the smoked tempeh was a delicious stand in for corned beef, and put together with the dressing and the cheese it was melt in your mouth delicious. I also ordered the eggplant fries which were delightful! I can’t wait to come back and try other menu items! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-30“

“The Chopt in Ballston is a gem! It’s just a block from my office, so it’s become my go-to spot for a healthy lunch. Everything is crisp, colorful, and flavorful! The dressings are delicious (Mexican Goddess is my favorite!) and portions are generous without being heavy.
The staff here are always friendly and efficient, even during the lunch rush. I usually try to sneak over a bit early before noon to beat the crowd, and it’s always a smooth experience.
If you’re in the area and looking for a quick, wholesome meal that actually tastes great, I highly recommend the Chopt Ballston location!“

“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.“

“A friend treated me to birthday dinner at Rosemary’s. Neither of us had been before and we were so happy to discover it. Start to finish every morsel was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We will be back!“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“Said, I wanted to circle back and let you know that without a doubt, the food, and the entire dining experience at La Bettola Italiano was far and away the best we had on our trip to DC. I cannot thank you enough for setting it all up and for working so closely with them to sculpt the menu, arrange for the upstairs and deliver the hot and delicious food so swiftly upon our arrival – our pre-order menu worked perfectly, and you and your wait staff went above and beyond to be so accommodating. My teachers were stunned at the quality of the food and the ambiance and said it was their top ranked choice of all the places we ate. I am uncertain what the school’s plans are for next year, but if I or the school returns to the DC/VA area, I will certainly call upon you and return to La Bettola. Thank you, Said, for a wonderful dining experience for our students. It was the perfect way to begin our trip! Best regards, Danny“

“We eat here every single time we come to the DC area. It is my favorite place to eat. The Scotch Eggs, Shepherd’s Pie and Guinness Stew are our favorites. The staff remembers us and welcomes us. The owner is awesome. We can’t recommend this place enough.“

“Wonderful service and excellent food. I wanted a NY Strip Steak and I got one - grilled perfectly. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her grilled salmon and my daughter - 10 years old and very picky - was treated respectfully and was well- accommodated. Highly recommended.“

“Last night was my husband’s and my first time dining here, and it truly left an impression. One of the first things we loved was the restaurant’s commitment to giving back to the community. As soon as you walk in, there’s a sign explaining how meals are donated to local women’s shelters and how guests and staff can pay it forward by purchasing meals for those in need. Anyone facing a tough time can simply take a ticket from the wall for a prepaid meal such a thoughtful and meaningful concept.

Our server was absolutely phenomenal (I wish I remembered her name! -- She had long red wavy hair). She took the time to walk us through the menu, shared her personal favorites, and recommended several must-try tacos. Let me just say… she did not miss!

Every single bite was bursting with flavor. We tried the birria, Havana, Rus & Gus, and Peruvian chicken tacos, along with the street corn salad and veggies on the side and everything was incredible. From the food to the service to the heart behind the restaurant, this place checks all the boxes.

Safe to say we’ve found a new favorite spot and will absolutely be back.“

“There was a new market there that didn't know everything about the job but her style she made for my husband was great my soup was nice and hot and it was a worker back there that did not even help her but she did an exceptional job on her on on her own to be new👏👏👏👏“

“This is my go to spot in Alexandria, especially for happy hour. The Gin Ramen is amazing and they have a great selection of Sake!“

“Great food, great service, great weather!“

“Truly amazing place! Would come back here again, upset that I only found it now after having lived in Georgetown for 4 months. Atef was an absolute joy, one of the best waiters I've ever had! Service is comparable to Michelin restaurants. Would recommend the asparagus starter, truly Michelin level (splurge on the egg, it's worth it!)“

“Just checked in for our anniversary weekend. Amazing staff and the Executive King Room with M Club is a must! Started with the Mr. Tyson for me and Captain and Dr. Pepper for the wife!“

“Came in and headed Tame Impala, I knew this was the vibe I needed. I purchased two slices and wanted a glass of wine from the bar. When I sat at the bar I realized they did not have the wine I wanted and their selection was few for wine. The bartender quickly jumped into action trying to understand the flavor profile I prefer to suggest products they do have. We landed on their Blood orange Goose product.
Will be coming back.“

“I ordered the Nancy Special and it was delicious!“

“I don’t know where to even begin! This was by far the best experience I’ve had at any restaurant in a long time! Went to celebrate my father’s birthday with my siblings, son, niece and nephew and everybody was pleased. We had the pleasure of having Andrea as our server and when I say she went above and beyond for our group, I’m putting it lightly. Andrea literally took care of us in every way possible making our time there extremely pleasurable!! Believe me when I say, next time I go there, I am asking for her personally lol. Andrea…thank you for your wonderful and amazing hospitality and I look forward to next time!!“

“If you want to make an amazing salad, you need to start with the freshest ingredients. This is what sets Chopt apart as everything they serve is fresh and high quality and you immediately taste the difference. I enjoyed my recent visit and Edith prepared my salad exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend the new Chopt location on Main Street in Fairfax.“

“My husband Adam is on chemo for pancreatic cancer. Today was the first time in three weeks he felt up to going out. Because of the chemo, he has changes in taste and unexpected issues with food textures. The manager replaced his first meal with something he could tolerate and enjoy when he realized he couldn’t eat his usual favorite menu item. Excellent and caring service. The manager himself delivered my Adam’s replacement meal. Thanks so much, it is a little thing but made our day much brighter!“

“Pupatella is a great spot for delicious food! Order the cannolis. The zesty lemon flavor with the creamy ricotta and salty pistachios was to die for! I’m ordering them to get delivered to my hotel for the second day in a row. The shells are yummy as well. Great place- good people- wonderful food. ☺️♥️“

“BRING BACK QUESADILLA MARINA! That’s was the best quesadilla ever!!!“
