Taiwanese Restaurants near Arlington, VA

“Really great bao with a cool second restaurant concept in the back! Highly recommend the bulgogi and the mushroom bao. The food is delicious, but the atmosphere is a bit strange. Not a bad thing, but the Bun’d Up portion of the restaurant runs more like a takeout only vibe even though there are tables. I like the vibe, but be warned before expecting anything fancier than fast casual tables. I’ve never eaten at the second concept restaurant in the back, but it looks like slightly nicer table service compared to the Bun’d Up portion in the front.“

“food was very inventive and good, but it was lacking on actual depth of any type of flavor. The service was quite good though we had to wait five minutes to actually be seated because the there was only one person seating people. The interior is very confusing and crowded and the restaurant decor doesn’t really make sense, the fried chicken was very good and unique so was the scallion pancake however, the pho really didn’t have any flavor and they were using chicken stock for some reason so it didn’t really have much flavor.“

“If you're a fan of the arts, Maketto is the place to be in DC! I was traveling here for a concert and was looking for a good coffee shop to stop by to, but Maketto has sooo much more! This half coffee shop, half shoe store, half record shop, half restaurant is a must try! The coffee and beverages are amazing and the atmosphere is unforgettable.“

“Finally a good Chinese restaurant! Super affordable and quick service. The cucumbers and potstickers are a must have. Spicy beef noddle soup was pretty good. My partner got the rice and pork chops which were the most tender and well seasoned I’ve had in a while. I don’t love the scallion pancakes because they were a little too thick to my liking. You can tell everything is home made with love.“

“Jumbo jumbo is my go-to spot when I crave Asian food. I always order the chili basil chicken; these chicken bites are perfectly seasoned every time. The boba tea and smoothies are always perfect. The ordering process is very smooth, and the place looks nice and clean.“

“What a hidden gem! I was in the area and looking for a place to grab lunch. Decided on Momo's Cafe based on all the fantastic reviews it has received and it did not disappoint. Parking was a bit hard to find, but luckily we found some street parking not too far away. Stepped into this small, cute cafe and we were warmly greeted by the staff. Placed our order and waited not more than 10 min before our food arrived at our table. We ordered the bento box and a side of popcorn chicken. All of it was delicious. The pickled cabbage was a great accompaniment. I also got a milk tea to wash it all down and I was fully satisfied with my entire meal.“

“My wife typically always like getting a tea from Eden center. She'll cycle between this place, tea dm, mr wish and vivi tea. The tea at this place is alright, though I'm not the best judge cause they'll are pretty mediocre to me. That being said the food though was surprisingly good and the price was very amenable. Got it for the first time not too long ago and will definitely be back. For less than $12 you can get a healthy portion of popcorn chicken along with a hearty helping of rice, veggies, and half egg. It's a great lunch and even dinner option. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.“
