“Hikari Don Katsu is a Japanese eatery that's located inside Lotte, a part of their food court. Their menu offers various noodle dishes (tempura udon, udon with fishcakes, and yakisoba), bowls (tempura don bowl, tuna don bowl, salmon poke bowl, etc.), and katsu sets (pork katsu, fish katsu, chicken katsu, pork katsu with curry, chicken katsu with cheese, etc.). We came here for a later lunch, and we ordered: +the Chicken Katsu with Curry - we requested the curry to be on the side so that the katsu can stay crispy; the curry itself was more Korean-style, as it was thinner in consistency; it was generously filled with lots of veggies, though, which was great; the katsu itself was pounded thin and had a thin breading; I usually like it when the batter is super thick and crispy; the chicken itself was a bit too dry; this came with a small bowl of miso soup, which was served hot and yummy, a side salad with a citrus-like dressing, some dakgwang (pickled radish), and a small bowl of their tonkatsu sauce (mayo-based) I'd probably want to try their dons next time, or their fish katsu. Service was super kind, friendly, and welcoming! Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +friendly service! +located inside Lotte; part of their food court +plenty of parking“
“My family and I stopped by while traveling thru town. We ordered Bulgogi and Dak Kalgooksoo. Their Banchan were flavorful with the right balance of spice and heat. Entrée portions are generous. Our server was helpful and very nice. We were pretty happy to find this restaurant.“
“It’s kinda hidden in the shopping complex but worth finding!!!! Everything was 5 star, my only tiff with atmosphere would be it’s kinda low lighting. However the food, service and cleanliness of the restaurant was great!!!! We sought this place out as it had a 3.8 star but yet was voted as a BEST OF just a year ago. It did not disappoint at all!!!! They host a lunch Buffett on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday through Thursday they offer platters, Vegetarian or with Meat. With tip you are looking at around $17-$20 per person. They served a nice little dessert with the meal. Flavors were GREAT in all the food that we were served!!!!“
“Was excited to try Yi's Traditional after hearing some good reviews coming from this place. So a friend and I had to give it a try for lunch and see what the rave was about.The Food: I went with the "Brisket Ox Bone Soup" and also got the "Brisket Meat Platter" to share with my friend. The soup broth is bland, but that's the point of it. You have tableside salty to add on to flavor to your liking. Which I really like. It's a very clean and healthy meal. Although, for the price, there wasn't that much protein and noodles in my soup, which was disappointing. The meat platter had plenty of brisket on the plate, just expensive for what it was. Overall, a nice and delicious meal. Just pricey.The Service: Service was good. Even with limited staff, they are very attentive and friendly.The Atmosphere: Nice and open space. A little small of a restaurant, but there are a decent amount of seats available. The place is overall clean and well spaced for comfort.Overall, a 3.5/5. Food was good, but nothing to rave about. Main problem is the pricing that is associated with the dishes. Wayy too pricey for the amount of food you get.“

“My friend and I had a delightful lunch experience at a Vietnamese restaurant in the area a while back. Spring rolls were cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and moist interior. Beef pho was warm and full of flavor. We loved the texture of the perfectly grilled squid in the mixed vegetable salad, which was even more delicious with the dipping sauce. The beef was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the rice. The interior decor of the restaurant was lovely, and the large windows let in plenty of sunlight. I highly recommend this place.“
“Got it to go for family, still very yummy, very satisfying. We always have allergy changes to make, and they didn't get anything wrong, which is always nice. The drunken noodles are VERY spicy. Even the guy used to spice was struggling through them (still happy with the order, but heads up for people on the fence about spice)Dietary restrictions: I can't do onions or anything in the onion family. Sometimes, I have trouble getting them removed at other places, but not here :)“
“Basically a carry out place, no seating for dine in. Great prices, good food, and friendly people working there. We order on a weekly basis. I'd stick with the basic meat dishes such as chicken and beef, because their cooking is consistent.“
“Dropped in after a massage next door. I was looking for a light meal. I ordered the ThomKa soup, with shrimp and the Kanom Jeab steamed dumplings. Both were delicious. The soup had a nice touch if spice. The dumplings came with a light dipping sauce. I'll be back“
“Came on Friday during lunch time. We were a party of 5 but seated right away. The AYCE is not buffet style in that you go pick your food; you order from the waiter and they bring it out. It can take a while for a waiter to return so make sure to put in a full order while they're there. There is a fee for any food leftover so don't go crazy but be aware of the timing. For kids 3 and under the AYCE is free and they love the little ice cream containers for dessert. As for the food I recommend the hibachi and rice and edamame with most of their specialty rolls. All the sushi was good but the one with mango and sweet potato was a favorite and the fried specialty roll too. Would return.“
“I have never ordered takeout for seafood, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. I got the medium spice level, cajun blue crabs and clams. I also really enjoyed their sweet potato fries, which were so nice and crispy. This is definitely going to be one of my go to spots!“
“Above average food for a reasonable price. 1 waiter for a table of 12 made service slow and food came out at different times. Overall, it's good and is go back. Generous portions and unlimited breadsticks and salad make it a crowd pleaser.“
“100 Bowls of Soup has amazing soups. Sign up via email and get their weekly newsletter to find the new offerings and what is in stock. Made with the very best ingredients. Located in Herndon. Highly recommend a visit. Once you do, you will be a regular like me. Love it!“
“Best bang for your buck lunch in the area. Lunch special comes with kabob of your choice on rice with a side salad and side of your choice, sauce and soda for a little less than $11. Afghan style food. Super quick too. Beef kabudeh lunch special in the picture but I subbed my rice for extra salad ?“
“I recently dined at Hunan Village that left a lasting impression. The exquisite flavors of their dishes showcased a perfect balance of traditional authenticity and innovative twists. The staff's hospitality was truly remarkable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment I entered, their attentiveness and genuine friendliness added to the overall dining experience. Each dish was a culinary delight, highlighting the skillful preparation and fresh, high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a memorable Chinese dining experience with exceptional food and outstanding service.“
“I have tried pad Thai at every Thai restaurant in a 15 mile radius and I can proudly say that Smile Thai has the best.The noodles are never dry and are drenched in the perfect sauce that is not too sweet and not too sour. One thing that other restaurants struggle with is their noodles are dry, but I’ve never had dry noodles from Smile Thai. Another thing that puts me off with pad Thai is oily noodles, but smile Thai barely uses oil and it tastes amazing.The noodles to price ratio is amazing. You pay about $13-16 depending on the poultry of your choice. I think the price is great for the amount of pad Thai you get. I get so much food that sometimes I can’t even finish it! It’s nice to know that I am getting my money’s worth.Customer service is amazing! I always order my pad Thai without peanuts and sometimes when I forget to say no peanuts they still don’t put it in because they know me! The man and the woman that work at the counter are very nice and I have never had anything negative about my experience there.When I go to college, I always thing about coming back to have smile Thai because no other place compares.Dietary restrictions: More than welcome to accommodate for peanut allergies“
“At Raices Peruvian restaurant I visited was a delightful culinary experience. Their cilantro lime chicken was a standout dish, perfectly balancing the tanginess of lime with the freshness of cilantro. The chicken was tender and juicy, infused with aromatic flavors that danced on my palate with each bite. The dish was served with a side of fluffy rice and yucca enhancing its vibrant flavors even more. It was a memorable dining experience that left me craving more.My personal recommendations. Stop flat topping the chicken. Every dish should use the rotisserie chicken. You have this huge rotisserie, put that tender moist chicken in every dish. Also get some native prints of Peru and hand on the walls in the table area. Lastly, you have a fake wall full of vines. Well those of us in the reviewer biz. Well it’s nothing but a dust collector and it’s right by your serving area. Ever time the air moves, so does dust in there.Overall a great place to eat, would just like to see a few changes. Including an Ice Maker that actually makes ice.“
“Conveniently located near Loews and Burlington in Fairfax, this Korean-style Chinese restaurant serves good Jjajangmyeon (Black bean noodles) and Tangsuyook (Fried pork with sweet sauce) that are generously proportioned. The decor is a bit old, but it is a good restaurant to visit when you crave these dishes.“
“I am no longer used to this "going out" thing so I forgot to take pics before we scarfed the food.Our server Mason took great care of us and even took the time to listen to our stories.This was chicken dumplings and cheasesteak egg rolls. We would order both again, maybe with a side of mustard.And the wife loves her Cadillac margarita.“
“"Today, the weather was cold, so I stopped by Panera to have a cup of coffee. I put the cup in the dispenser and waited. A staff member came and asked if the coffee was hot. Seeing the steam from the hot water, he confirmed that the coffee was indeed hot enough. It was a day when I wasn’t feeling well due to the cold weather and physical discomfort. However, thanks to the special and warm coffee from Panera’s staff member Christopher, I was able to enjoy my evening." Thanks again, Chris!!“
“Been coming to this Pho for years! Staff is very friendly and the owner is super kind too! Great atmosphere, although I usually order to go and the process is always fast and easy and the food is always delicious!My usual order is either a chicken fried rice or the white meat chicken noodle soup. Additionally, I love to come here for their Boba Smoothies!“
“We live in Reston; over the last few years, we have watched all the Chinese restaurants that we have frequented close permanently. I was happy to find Asian Garden today. The service was great, the food was prepared rapidly and the food all tasted great, even after I drove it from this Herndon location to our home.The right amount of oil was used and they do not use MSG.Translation: We will be back again soon!“
“Awesome Panera Bread restaurant, great food and drinks, super popular place like all other Panera locations! They have a high volume of business, with a lot of loyal customers, and there’s still plenty of seating and lots of outlets to charge your devices (which is very thoughtful). This Panera Bread restaurant is conveniently located near my job which is absolutely wonderful. I had the Chipotle Chicken Avocado Melt, an apple, a chocolate croissant, and a crisp, cold bottle of water. Everything was perfectly delicious. I enjoy ordering on the app, and the rewards are nice that you get with your MyPanera membership, which you can sign up for with no fee! Panera also has a Sip Club which is a fantastic deal that I look forward to signing up for again!“
“We were out and decided we wanted Chinese food and found this spot so stopped over. The owner, great. So friendly and while we waited for our food, we noticed she knew everyone coming in! We asked to alter our meals a bit and she said SURE! She was more than happy to accommodate to make the customer happy. Such great customer service and food was delicious. Well be back.“
