“Ida was our waitress. She was genuinely caring and sensitive to our situation of just losing a brother. She was helpful with menu items and offered hugs of comfort and care. I can’t say enough about her extra-ordinary care and attention to our large table. We all love her and will certainly be back for sure. Thank you for your prayers, love, and empathy regarding our loss. Idayou are truly a God-send this day especially. Thank you, The Eichlers and The Stewarts 7/2/2024”

“We had a wonderful dining experience! The kimchi was a standout—my friend ranked it in her top 5 of all time. The staff were incredibly sweet and even brought her an extra serving. We tried a variety of sushi, and every piece was fresh and flavorful. The squid legs were especially impressive, perfectly cooked and tender, not chewy at all. Each meal also came with a small peanut salad and a comforting bowl of miso soup, which was a nice touch. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“This place is a fun Korean restaurant, featuring meats (seasoned as you like, spicy or not) and seafood cooked at your table on a gas BBQ. Sides come with it and other dishes like japchae and soups are also available. Feed a group very well and be out in an hour! Only complaint is that it's very noisy, not the best for conversations. We had to wait for them to assemble a table for 7 people (no reservation), otherwise there would have been no wait.”
“Fabulous chicken. Must try the chicken! The wait is worth it! So crispy and tasty!”
“🙂Excellent Door Dash option for our little upstate NY town!”

“TLDR: One of the few places in the DMV serving Korean raw crabs. Come for both the spicy and soy marinaded crabs as well as the gukbop.
. Located in a small shopping center in Centerville, Hwangbooja has a simple layout. With around 10 4-top tables, the dining room is a single area with the kitchen in the back. The restaurant is clean and has English translations throughout the restaurant for those that do not speak Korean. 4 tops can be pushed together, making it suitable for large groups. The entire restaurant only had Korean diners at lunch, which is always a good sign for the food authenticity.
. My party of 2 came on a Thursday for lunch when the place was empty. The lone server mostly spoke Korean, but the menu is conveniently written with both Korean and English translations together so point to order is an option. Food came out exceptionally fast and the same with settling up on the bill when complete.
. Finding quality raw Korean crab in the DMV is a challenge, but fortunately Hwangbooja delivers. They offer both spicy and soy varieties, with each order coming with approximately 5-6 cut up crabs. The flavors of both the spicy and soy marinaded crabs are robust and bursting with the taste of garlic. The sweetness of the raw crab meat plays nicely with the savory flavors of both preparations. The idea of consuming raw crab meat may scare even the most seafood friendly folk, but squishy texture makes the eating experience enjoyable, as you must slurp the meat out of the shell while using your teeth to press the meat out of the shells. The crustaceans come at a cost, with a single order coming in at $28, but it's well worth the cost of admission . The gukbop was also noteworthy, with heavy notes of garlic and a beyond soul warming pork broth that is perfect for a cold day. We recently traveled to Busan and had gukbop several times and having it at Hwangbooja brought me back. Overall, if you are in the mood for some tasty crabs and traditional Korean food, this is the place.”

“Just an average Korean food. Cold noodles were a little better than other restaurants. Seafood stew was lack of flavors. Didn't really eat much of it even though it was costly.”

“Wanted to leave a review to counter all the whiny reviews from everyone complaining about this place. This location is fantastic and the pizza (and breadstick nuggets) are delicious! Have ordered here a handful of times over the past few years and have never had any issues at all. The order is ready quickly, always warm, tastes great and the service is quick and friendly. It’s exactly what you would expect from a great dominos. I honestly think the reviews complaining are probably an issue with entitled, unreasonable customers.”

“Our Monday night dinner group has come back here multiple times. The smell is wonderful immediately when you walk in. The host and all staff there are super friendly and always fun to chat with. Our waiter had our whole table laughing every time we engaged with him. Everyone's orders were perfectly cooked, nice sized portions and came out very quickly. I personally love the Malaysian Iced Coffee, Roti Canai and Chicken Satay. Our group had noodle dishes, beef, lamb, seafood....all was wonderful. The flavors are vivid and bright, delicious and clearly comfort food. I promise you, you'll enjoy your trip here. Great food for everyone. Very nice open atmosphere and every table seemed very content.”

“I came here with some friends for dinner and had a great time. This is definitely one of the best authentic Korean restaurants in the area. At the time that we visited, there were a lot of people there. Be ready to wait a few minutes during the dinner rush and stay because the food is so worth it.
We ordered the homemade kalguksoo noodles with broth (100% I’ll be back to try the spicy version too), cheese donkatsu (crispy and good blend of cheese, the macaroni salad was perfect, salad and rice a great balance), stir fry octopus (newer item that was cooked perfectly, very tender and delicious), and seafood soondubu (spicy tofu soup with a unique broth different from the other soondubu restaurants in the area). This was definitely more than enough for four people to share. I really enjoyed each entrée that we ordered. They have several different signature dishes, including bossam, and also new items not yet listed on the menu. I’ll be back to try more food here! We were so excited about the food that we didn’t have a chance to take pictures of everything.
Parking was easy and free. Great service and kind staff who spoke to us in Korean and English.”

“We loved loved LOVED the macarons from Melody's Macarons!! We were looking for the perfect pastries to give as a thank you/christmas gift at our favorite hot pot place and we came across Melody's Macarons on Google. We called them up and within 15 minutes we were at the owner's front door placing our order. 5 minutes later, she came out with a bunch of beautifully decorated and wrapped macarons! My daughter could not stop gushing about how we need to bring macarons to every function from now on!
Thank you to the owners for being able to accomodate a big order on such short notice. We had an amazing experience and will be sure to get our macarons from you from now on! And to everyone looking for the perfect little gift or a delicious sweet treat, you can't go wrong with Melody's Macarons!
P.S. We especially loved the creme brulee flavor!”

“Although it's pretty standard for a pho place, everything is done well and simply. I like that the decor is still new and fairly quiet, no piped music or loud TV, just clean wood tables and chairs and fast service. Pho is always out in minutes.
I also like that there's just a rack of spoons and chopsticks, plus the usual sauces, so you always have what you need and don't need to ask. Bonus points for having spicy chili oil right on the table, some places charge a buck for this, but here you're free to load up. It's great for dipping the flank meat.
Flavor of the pho is quite good, prices are typical... 11 bucks but then all the meats add cost until you end up paying like 15-18. Can recommend for someone looking for a chill, roomy, quiet spot with plenty of seating and good food.”

“Ordered pho to go. Won’t be able to taste it since they didn’t wrap it in seran wrap. Pulled it out and it was leaking through the paper bag and then it fell through the bag and lid was not in all the way. I had a handle on it but it was soooooo hot then spilled all over my leg and chair. It burned me!!!!!!!!! Also, this place only takes cash. Glad I had cash on me which I rarely do. I should not be obligated to use an ATM. Need to offer more options to pay.”

“This place is the best for soft tofu soup but I was craving some cold noodles, which were not in season yet. But they made a custom cold noodle dish for me with buckwheat noodles (bibim guksu)
and it was AMAZING. Unfortunately I was too excited to take a photo before eating it but if you love cold spicy noodles, please ask for this as it’s not on menu. It even had frozen watermelon balls in it, which was such a nice subtle sweet surprise. With fresh lettuce, cucumbers and boiled egg, it was like a home cooked Korean dish my mom would make.”

“Artisana Pizza in Dumfries, VA, is an absolute gem! Their garlic focaccia bread is a must-try—it's perfectly baked with a soft, airy texture inside and a crispy crust outside, all infused with just the right amount of garlic and herbs. It’s a great way to start the meal and pairs wonderfully with any of their main dishes.
But the real star for me is their meatball pizza. The crust is thin, yet has that perfect crunch, while the sauce is rich and flavorful. The meatballs are juicy and seasoned to perfection, making each bite incredibly satisfying. The balance of cheese and toppings is spot on, creating a delicious experience that keeps you coming back for more. Artisana Pizza has definitely mastered the art of flavor, and it's a place I’ll be recommending to all my friends!”

A little pricey but when you consider the cost of everything and how much is going into the drinks, it’s no different than anything else. We appreciated the kind tea makers confirming that we wanted each of the ingredients and really wanted to ensure they got our drinks correct. We signed up for the loyalty program and will definitely be back to try other drinks. We enjoyed mango and strawberry machi. Our first but definitely not last visit!”

“This one of my go-to places in Centerville. Today, Kimbop has changed a bit. Carrots were uncooked, normally they were stir-fried. Hope it's fixed next time.
It tastes better to make kimbap with stir-fried carrots, but I don't know if it was a mistake, but I was a little disappointed that the carrots in today's kimbap were not cooked at all. Still, I gave it 5 stars because it's a place I go to often.”
“I've gone to this place only once and have fallen love with it! The lady that works here was super nice and she explained all the different red ginseng products and what's suitable for my health. After a long day of work, I take one pouch of 100% pure ginseng product, all my tireness gone!!! I highly recommend !!”

“This place was a pride of Koreans in the DMV area, a place that’s comparable to NJ or LA where all the good Korean restaurants are located; however, can’t say that anymore. Every menu here became ordinary. They are not bad but it doesn’t give me goosebumps like it used to. Especially Soondaetang became so average that I can’t even call this place Soondae specialty place. Again, still pretty good compared to other restaurants selling soondaetang, but would not give more than 4 stars here.”

Today I got their pork fried rice with jjajang sauce for the first time to vary it up. It was definitely good but I think the noodles are better. My SO got the Szechuan Seafood Jjangmyeon which tasted pretty good. It’s got a bit of a kick but not that spicy. I also really like their choice of banchan because they’re some of my favorite ones.”

“A friend and I meet at Theisman's restaurant for lunch quite often. I live in Alexandria and she lives in Warrenton so it's a great middle point. We both love the food and the hostesses and waitstaff are excellent. The atmosphere is nice.. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the music in there was so loud. We decided to sit on the porch thinking it would be quieter and it was such a beautiful day... unfortunately the music was extremely loud out there too and seemed to increase in volume as we were out there for about 2 hours. I noticed a few other people were saying that it was so loud too. We should have said something to the hostess but we had not seen each other in awhile. Wonderful place, but people do want to be able to talk and hear each other. Hopefully, this will get to the right ears ?”
