“Absolutely extraordinary! Courtside Thai Cuisine is a gem in the heart of Fairfax, VA. From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aromatic allure of authentic Thai cuisine. The food is a culinary masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors harmoniously blending together. The Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly cooked noodles and a balance of sweet, sour, and savory that dances on the palate. The Green Curry is another star, its richness and depth of flavor truly showcasing the art of Thai cooking. Service here is impeccable. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to accommodate any dietary preferences or modifications. But what truly sets Courtside Thai Cuisine apart is the ambiance. The decor is elegant yet cozy, providing an ideal backdrop for both casual dinners and special occasions. It's a place where every meal feels like a celebration. In a world full of dining options, Courtside Thai Cuisine stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and hospitality. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, a journey through the vibrant, flavorful landscapes of Thailand. A true Fairfax treasure, I can't recommend it highly enough! 5 stars all the way!”

“excellent fooood. just tried it. very gooooooooooood!!!”
“I love love coffee at Maman! It's 30 minutes from home but it doesn't matter for great coffee. I usually get the decaf iced latte and it is great every time so far. The husband gets his hot latte and it has always been beautiful (the swan on there is nice) and flavorful.”
“Incredible. Delicious. Wow.
One must eat their slice on site. I took the create 8 slices which was great. BUT the slice I ate there was beyond spectacular. The crispy delicate crust was lost at home compared to my experience at Andy's. Reheating pizza is an art, but there as something special at the restaurant. My first experience with Andy's but I already have favorites:
#1 - pepperoni
#2+ - mushroom & onion and the white.
I also purchased the Albe Barolo 2022 and enjoyed at home. Very berry, light, and did not disappoint. Paired well with the pizza!
Made my Friday night dinner easy and delicious. I highly recommend Andy's!”
“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.”
“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.”
“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!”
“I got a fever, and the only prescription is KPOT. Our second time going, and this may be our new favorite restaurant. Kudos to Dale for giving us an awesome dining experience yet again.”

“Outstanding dinning experience! We’ve been to and have had Korean BBQ, but NOTHING compares to this! The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!”

“This. This place right here. Easily the absolute best Thai restaurant I’ve found here in the states.
The seasoning on everything I’ve ordered here has been absolutely flawless, as have the temperatures and quality of the food.
I truly cannot say enough good things about this place, you have to try it to understand 😂
PS. Try the happy Thai Lo mein. Thank me later.”
“Was looking forward to trying The Wine House. Read great reviews and Restaurant Week seemed a good way to sample the menu. We were pleasantly greeted by the hostess. The place is cute and casual, tho the food more upscale. Our food was very good, tho my spouse thought the lamb shank was dry. The chicken piccata was a different presentation - whole chicken breast in more of a light creamy sauce. Both entrees would have benefitted from a touch of salt. Our appetizers and desserts were very good.
Despite reading many reviews about great customer service and education about wine pairings and such, we received none of that. Our server was more going through the motions, offered no explanations when we said it was our first time here, no wine or food recommendations. He seemed rather distracted. The table next to us received the wrong bill.
Maybe our expectations were too high for a more engaging experience.
Still worth trying the place out.”
“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The presentation was great as well Can't wait to come back.”
“We came to finally celebrate my graduation and to get our hands on the sushi boat!! And of course it didn’t disappoint 🤤🤤🤤 it was amazing!! We also had Josh^3 as our server and he had such amazing energy even for a Wednesday night!!! We felt super seen and well taken care of and we can’t wait to come back again!”
“I love this place, the atmosphere and the food. Today a friend and I went for a yummy brunch and were served by a super waiter, Benn. The restaurant and the service – highly recommended.”
“ONE Bar&Grill is our number one restaurant choice in Old Town Fairfax. We have visited several times and EVERY meal has been amazing! Mina the owner, and Stephanie along with all the servers are first class people. Fairfax is fortunate to have such a top notch restaurant! We look forward to many future visits.”

“I've now visited three times, and each experience feels just as special as the first. The food is always comforting, fresh, and cooked to perfection, but the true heart of this place is the people. The service is consistently excellent, and I have to give a special shoutout to Hannah, Jonathan, and Carmelo, who each took great care of us during my visits.
They are genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming, always making sure our table is happy and well-stocked with delicious banchan. It’s rare to find a spot that combines such amazing meals with a warm, family-like atmosphere. I'm already excited for my next visit!”

“If you are gluten intolerant this may be the beer for you. I have been gluten intolerant for 13 years now. I used to enjoy a beer here and there. Some of the gluten free ones out there are eh, at best. This beer has a full body taste. I did not have any issues drinking it. Now, that being said if you are gluten intolerant you must know yourself really well. It may not be for you, but than again it may. I am just excited that I had no issues and enjoyed a full tasting beer!”
“This was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. First, when we walked through the door, the man at the counter was so friendly and helpful when it came to asking questions about the menu. We came to find out he was actually the owner. We sat down waiting on our food, and it was hot, fresh, and made to order. The flavor was outstanding! If you get a chance to stop by this spot, you will not be disappointed.”

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.”
“came to this place like 4 times now and it never misses!! 1st off the music and ambience is ALWAYS on point. 2nd, staff is great and the place itself is so clean. nothing else to say but it’s noticeable that this spot is well maintained. 3rd, the food!!! just wow. you can tell all the ingredients they use are fresh! i could have the avo egg + cheese sandwich and shrimp burger all day… 4th off — the drinks 🙂↕ bruh…. misugaru latte w oatmilk …. iced or hot…. that will change your life. still need to try some of the other stuff but this is a pure 5/5. thanks to my boyfriend who works in this building, we wouldnt have discovered such a gem!!!!”
“ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. If you’re even thinking about trying Ned’s New England Deck, just go! You won’t regret it. The owner, Steve, is so personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about his business. He made an effort to talk to us (even our 4-year-old), which was really sweet and made the whole experience feel more personal. I also loved how he hyped up his staff, you can tell they’re appreciated. The food though… wow. The brown butter lobster roll was seriously amazing! The soft, flavorful bread and the lobster was so buttery and sweet. I’ve had lobster rolls before (even at the beach), and this one honestly beats them. The fried fish melts in your mouth and the truffle fries are addicting. My family and I left so impressed. The food was incredible, and Steve’s kindness just made it even better. He even shared how to make one of their sauces at home, which was such a nice gesture. So again, thank you Steve and staff for an amazing dinner & becoming our go-to seafood spot. We can’t wait to try more and checkout the playroom upstairs!”
“Tried BBQ21 and had the jumbo katsu, udon, bingsu dessert, and mango cake. Everything was decent overall, and the jumbo katsu was definitely the standout. The main downside was the value, the udon, bingsu, and mango cake felt fairly expensive for their portion sizes and what you actually get. The food was good, but I don’t think those items quite justify their prices. Still a solid place to try, especially for the jumbo katsu.”
“Amazing food and also gluten free options we had the crab guac, lobster tacos and Bouillabaisse. Chris the bartender made great margaritas and martinis. Highly recommend.”

“Interesting “northern”Chinese food. Different from the regular Chinese food”
“The staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming, which really made the experience pleasant. The food menu looks amazing and everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The salteñas were great and definitely something I would order again.
The only thing that wasn’t for me were the alfajor cookies. They were very dense and had a bit too much caramel for my taste. Others may love them if you’re a big dulce de leche fan (which I am), but they were just a little heavy for me.
Overall though, the friendly staff and great salteñas made it worth the visit.”
“This is a great idea to bring people closer to the Lord. on top of that. they support local roasters and even have some whole beans in store. Great way to support local within local while being able to pray or do work. very quiet. very welcoming. no one is demanding you to pray to get coffee. it's the most unique coffee shop I've ever been to. the idea. the layout. everything is great. I got a sandwich and some beans. Great spot”
“The best banh mi sandwich you will find, the bread is baked fresh on premises. All the ingredients are fresh. This is only one of two Pho restaurants in the country that has pipping hot stone bowl, the other one is 3K miles away. Try the vegetable Pho, there is nothing like it anywhere, absolutely amazing, you need to request it. The chicken Pho is the best you will find. Everything on the menu is great. The owner is there to greet customers. The staff is absolutely the best.”
“The moment you walk in, the environment is so welcoming, fresh, and vibey. It's like you know " this is going to be good". Then you are greeted, and the service was just that much better. She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!”
“I am severely allergic to gluten and I forgot to inform the staff before they made my food (my fault). I let Milagro know and she was SO NICE. She remade my food, free of charge and even came to check on me mid meal to make sure I was enjoying the food. I really appreciate that she was so nice and accommodating since my meal was already made, she went out of her way to remake it. 5 stars ☺”
“I want to take this opportunity to share our experience at your restaurant, Bonefish, on Friday, August 29. Our visit for lunch was a great success. Our group of 7 senior women were served by wait staff who were pleasant and patient as we gathered and took our time ordering their delicious salads. They had a nice selection of salad and soup. We all enjoyed our meals. We were also celebrating 2 birthdays. They offered the birthday girls a selection of deserts that were free for the two celebrants. We all sang Happy Birthday and even our waiter joined us We will certainly plan to visit again soon.in singing!”

“7/18 update: The staff are amazing. Even when they are busy, they get the orders ready quickly and well prepared! Great job!
This is a marvelous place.
The people are clever and talented; they are very efficient and delightful to be around.
The latte is delicious (smooth and not burned, at all) and the price is more competitive than other places you can get lattes.”
“This place has a great selection of boba drinks. So far I’ve tried only two though: matcha milk tea ( my go-to drink) and ube coconut. The matcha is the best in town IMO! It’s very easy to adjust it to your strength and sweetness. Absolutely love it!! But you GOT to try the ube coconut!!!! My new absolute favorite!!! It’s THE BOMB!!! Again, the sweetness is easily adjusted. Just go and try it!! They also make bahn mi sandwiches. Looking forward to trying it!!”
“my son and niece are OBSESSED with playa bowls! we never leave with a bad experience, the workers are so incredibly nice, and shoutout Ellie, every interaction ive had with her was the sweetest!! Always excited to come back here, defined one of my fav spots always such a vibe!!”
“This place is incredible. I am not aware of any other luosifen noodle house in the area. If you, like me, are a newcomer to this style of noodle soup, you are going to be extremely impressed. The bone broth is bracing, complex, and flavorful, far richer and deeper than pho or tonkotsu. Recommend getting it spicy: it brings all the flavors together without being overwhelming. Additionally, the Sichuan menu is one of the best in the area, second only to Mama Chang's and Hong Kong Palace. This place is pretty new and trying to get its feet underneath it. Let's support high quality food!”
“I have been visiting this place, and I regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious, served in generous portions, and if you come in feeling tired after work, the staff will take care of you with genuine warmth. The restaurant is clean and has great music suitable for families, couples, and singles. I’ve dined at other restaurants, but I can confidently say that Wild Chicken offers exceptional customer service.”
“We have worked with Charity, at the Fair Lakes Chick-fil-A, many times for our Waples Mill Elementary PTA and can’t be more complementary! They have supported countless events, we’ve made purchases from this store for our families, and today they donated 2boxed of coffee with all of the accoutrements for our PTA Board meeting. We are just incredibly thankful for their community, outreach and generosity! Thank you so much, you are a wonderful!! Sincerely, The Waples Mill PTA Family”
“I highly recommend this place!
Customer service was amazing, any questions I had about a product they recommended anything to me and have been working amazing.
The food was great, the flavor was really good mainly the carne asada burrito.
Will come back again and bring my family.”
“Very good food, I come here all the time with my partner and we love it. Many good options for sides like fried rice and plantains. The owner of the restaurant is very friendly and knows us well. He sells halal Peruvian food, so everyone from everywhere can eat the food.”
“Some of the most delicious burgers I've ever had! I absolutely love burgers and always on the hunt for a huge, juicy, flavor packed, stacked high burger and this place is amazing. The burgers are super loaded with the meats, cheeses, sauces, and the buns are super soft. Trust me when I tell you these burgers are huge. The cook definitely knows how to churn out delicious burgers. Probably my new favorite burger spot in town. Thank you for such great food! Will be back next week :)”
“Great, go to place for consistent service and quality food!”

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!”
“Wonderful sushi especially the chirashi. The tempura is also delicious always crisp and not greasy.”
“Very authentic Chinese food! amazing.
Edit: dishes to get: Roasted duck with the apple sauce hmm. Lamb (ideally on the bone). Cabbage dish forgot the name. Beef tendon is my favorite pre-dish if you like spiciness.”
“Es uno de los mejores restaurantes de la zona de Manassas park la comida es deliciosa y la atención es de la mejor 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“After hearing of Bunnyman for months, I decided to hit it up with a few friends on a Friday night. It did not disappoint at all. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is serene with great music. The music volume is perfect too so you can still socialize without having to shout. My favorite amenities though, are the self-pour feature, the diversity of beer flavors, and the ease of paying. The taps are really easy to use and to keep track of how much your bar tab is accumulating. On top of that, you don't have to wait at all for a refill- just head on up to the tap and pour, amazing system! The Irish Red beer was my go-to, and it was very pleasing to see that on tap when it's not actually Oktoberfest season, (I can never seem to find it most times of the year). We will all definitely be back, as well as looking forward to visiting their Lorton location! Keep up the great work and the awesome selection of beers, mad props!”
“I’m only in town for a week, but have already been here twice since it’s short trip from where I’m staying and I enjoy a good brew pub. Ate at the bar both times. Food and service were 💯both times. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the supreme pizza. Meatloaf was great, pizza’s ok. I tried both their hazy beers and the Freedom and Founders IPAs, all good choices. I’m planning on bringing my husband for my 3rd visit before heading home. Looking forward to having the Stroganoff pasta on my next visit. Would highly recommend for food and craft beer selections.”
“Great food, don’t like that I cannot see my order at checkout and am just told what i owe. I like to see the itemization.”
“Fun happy hour spot to visit! Staff was extremely friendly and was very informative of all the beers on tap. Food was delicious and we had a wonderful time! Will be coming back!”
“excellent restaurant with great service & excellent prices on great food and I really appreciate the excellent service and my meal I had there very nice family restaurant.”
“This place was incredible. The service was excellent and everyone was super friendly. The servers were knowledgeable about the food and the drinks and were able to make recommendations when asked for them. On top of the food, we tried 3 different alcoholic beverages, their seasonal white, a sparkling rose, and limoncello. Each was incredible and paired great with the food. The entrees were really flavorful and unique and the desserts were perfectly balanced. Special shoutout to our waiter Angel for being incredbly kind and friendly! He really made our experience better.”
“Nalak Thai has become one of our family’s favorite places to dine for both special occasions or just for a delicious dinner out. It’s a relatively new establishment, but it’s become a staple restaurant for our family as the food is consistently delicious and the service is always friendly and accommodating. The majority of Nalak’s dishes can be modified for spice level and to be vegetarian, and there are many options for adults and children alike. I am obsessed with the drunken noodles (extra spicy!) and Thai green curry, but their drink menu also has me constantly coming back for more. If you are a matcha fan, the ceremonial matcha drink list will guarantee a return visit! Highly recommend Nalak Thai as the best Thai food in Northern Virginia!”
“Best wings and ranch. Love all the apps, prices are great and service is always awesome!”
“Sushi Prince has the best sushi in all of Fairfax. The fish and ingredients are always so fresh and delicious. It is the perfect spot for a date night.”
“Best beers I've had in a long time! So many great and creative options of beers! Every one I sampled was OUTSTANDING! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to the brewer and the staff are SOOO friendly, professional and helpful! Great atmosphere and the outdoor patio is an added bonus on beautiful days!”
“I had a great experience thanks to Vicky and Meybelin. They both made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. Vicky checked in regularly, had a positive attitude, and provided outstanding service. Will definitely come back.”
“Best all you can eat during Ramadan! Authentic Syrian and Lebanese food for the serious foodie! Best kibbe! Well worth my taste buds!”
“Always a positive experience. Food is always good and well prepared. Outside seating when weather allows. Servers are great with Marvin, Hannah, Juan, and MJ always bringing their A game.”
“We ate on the wraparound porch and it was lovely. Our server was attentive and knew the menu well and the food was excellent I’m gluten-free and being able to have a gluten-free meatloaf was a huge treat for For me. In addition, they had a wonderful gluten-free chocolate cake, dessert it was not sorbet like everybody else tries to serve you. I would definitely recommend”
“What a hidden gem in Fairfax! We absolutely loved Kelly’s Oyster House & Bar. The building itself has so much character and gives you that cozy, old-school neighborhood feel that is getting harder and harder to find.
The food was fantastic, and the oysters were fresh and beautifully served. The menu has a great selection of seafood and specials, but whatever you order, do not leave without dessert! Their dessert selection is wonderful, and the Hula Pie was AMAZING , easily one of the highlights of our meal.
Great food, great atmosphere, and a place with real personality. Kelly’s feels like one of those local spots you’re excited to discover and immediately want to tell other people about. We will definitely be back!”
“Food Delicious! And the staff super kind and friendly! Totally recomendable!”
“Lien was so kind. She help me navigate my order and wasn’t impatient with my modifications. True customer service was exhibited. Keep up the great work!”
“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.”
“It was wonderful! This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and it was a fantastic introduction to to the food. I couldn’t have asked for better!”

“AMAZING tasting food and even more amazing owners. This restaurant stepped up to provide food to a community searching for a missing person. The kindness shown speaks volumes about the people who own this restaurant. #findmamtakaflebhatt”
“Today is my birthday. My mom tried to order jumbo crabs, but it was right when they first opened, so door dash showed they didn’t have them, but Josie came to the rescue!! Thanks Josie, heavy MD jumbo”
“as a regular, the authentic Chengdu laziji (spicy chicken) congxiang yu (scallion fish) and ziran yang (cumin lamb) are my go to favorites”
“Heidy was amazing! Everything was perfect. She provided excellent service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out perfectly, and we had a wonderful dining experience. Thank you, Heidy!”
“You should try eat in here. The foods are excellent and professional to service.I really love eat in here.”
“Absolutely my favorite lunch spot in Fairfax. I’ve been eating here for 5 years now and the place is like home.. friendly and loving staff with the Absolute most delicious kabobs (IMO).. The only downside here is I live in faqr co.”
“We came in for the Sunday happy hour 4-6 P.M. Ordered the fillet sandwich, which was amazing. The meat was tender, cooked perfectly on garlic bread, highly recommend and then we had the carrot cake which was the best carrot cake I’ve literally ever had in my entire life. It was so good. I would come back just for the carrot cake. I’m still thinking about the carrot cake. I wish I could have that carrot cake every day. If they ever need someone to talk about their carrot cake I’m your person, highly recommend that carrot cake.”
“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic restaurant! The food was delicious, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The Haneeth was the star of the meal, the meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of rich, authentic flavor. Every bite was satisfying, and the portion was generous.
The service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere made the experience even better. If you love Middle Eastern cuisine, I highly recommend trying the Haneeth here, you won’t be disappointed! Definitely a place I’d visit again.”
“Absolutely best meal ever. Service is outstanding. Never disappoints.”
“Sushi On has been my family’s favorite restaurant for about 20 years! The owner, manager, and everyone who works here are always so friendly, kind, and welcoming. We have enjoyed countless delicious meals here and made so many wonderful memories over the years. It truly feels like a special place for our family. We always look forward to coming back, and we highly recommend Sushi On to everyone! 🍣❤”
“amazing staff super kind and helpful. also the best breakfast in the area!!”
“My server was bartender Luna, who is a charming young lady, who takes care of her customer's needs, constantly on top of what is going on and checking to make sure everything is OK. Soft Drinks are refilled quickly and she always makes great food and drink suggestions. It is worth returning, not only for the good food and massive (alcoholic) drink selection, but especially for her service and attention. One of the best bartenders ever.”
“Affordable AYCE KBBQ with big variety of meat choices! And they give lots of different side dishes as well!”
“Nice, chill location. the food was good. I ordered the 10pc wings with fries. I don't recommend getting the honey mustard sauce. it's the cost of a drink🥴, literally. Why something the same size as ranch or blue cheese costs the same as a drink (while the ranch and blue cheese don't cost extra), I'm not sure. If you're like me and don't eat ranch or blue cheese, bring your own honey mustard. other than that, I highly recommend.”
“The food is consistently great - well prepared and flavorful. The reason they are able to achieve this is by not sitting too many people at once so they can control the quality of the food and experience. Don’t be dissuaded by the wait. It’s not as long as they typically tell you.”
“We love coming here, great ambiance and people. David the manager was very accommodating and our chef - Ryan - did an amazing job tonight. We love that they give noodles and fried rice! Also you MUST try the Tokyo Shrimp here it is FANTASTIC!! The filet mignon melts in your mouth love the salmon lobster and scallops too. Their ginger sauce, yum yum sauce, AND salad dressing are all on point. It’s hard to find a place that does everything as well as Samurai. We drive from Ashburn just to come here for hibachi.”
“Excellent sushi restaurant! We were in Vienna and craving sushi and found this gem. We were seated right away, greeted with a smile and had a lovely evening. We started off with the edamame and miso soup and salad. We were BLOWN away with how good everything was right off the bat! The house salad had a onion sauce on the top that was so good! Best house salad I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Then we both had rolls that were amazing! Joanne was our waitress and she was so kind and efficient. She even provided us with recommendations and a great description of some of the dishes I asked about. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vienna! Thank you so much!”
“Many thanks to Max and everyone at Ornery Public House in Fairfax City for helping my wife give me a great party.”
“Great food and hospitality can’t wait to come back! Food was piping hot and complimentary condiments were delicious! My fish was perfectly cooked!”
“It's an olive garden. I'm not coming here for authentic Italian food. I'm coming here when I want pasta and I don't want to make it myself at home. The staff is super nice and they're trained very well.”
“Excellent vegetarian Indian buffet. You won't miss the meat! There is plenty for vegans and people who are gluten free.”
“great veggie broth options!! my favorite is the mushroom broth. all you can eat for $35/person. so many veggie ingredients available. this is the only place in the DMV i go to for hotpot”
“The restaurant that first introduced me to hot pot years ago. My husband and I used to bring all of our friends and family here. We never had a bad experience. We moved away but we still talk about this place all the time.”
“Many traditional Chinese dishes along with Americanized favorites. They may attempt to coax you into changing your mind if you’re not Asian and you want something traditional.”

“I want to take this opportunity to share our experience at your restaurant, Bonefish, on Friday, August 29. Our visit for lunch was a great success. Our group of 7 senior women were served by wait staff who were pleasant and patient as we gathered and took our time ordering their delicious salads. They had a nice selection of salad and soup. We all enjoyed our meals. We were also celebrating 2 birthdays. They offered the birthday girls a selection of deserts that were free for the two celebrants. We all sang Happy Birthday and even our waiter joined us We will certainly plan to visit again soon.in singing!”
“I have been visiting this place, and I regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious, served in generous portions, and if you come in feeling tired after work, the staff will take care of you with genuine warmth. The restaurant is clean and has great music suitable for families, couples, and singles. I’ve dined at other restaurants, but I can confidently say that Wild Chicken offers exceptional customer service.”
“We love the Capital Grille. It is such a and welcoming place, and the food is delicious. Best of all is the service. We always look forward to being served by Shayla. She is absolutely fabulous - so delightful and efficient, and she always makes our visits special.”

“The moment you walk in, the environment is so welcoming, fresh, and vibey. It's like you know " this is going to be good". Then you are greeted, and the service was just that much better. She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!”
“This place has a great selection of boba drinks. So far I’ve tried only two though: matcha milk tea ( my go-to drink) and ube coconut. The matcha is the best in town IMO! It’s very easy to adjust it to your strength and sweetness. Absolutely love it!! But you GOT to try the ube coconut!!!! My new absolute favorite!!! It’s THE BOMB!!! Again, the sweetness is easily adjusted. Just go and try it!! They also make bahn mi sandwiches. Looking forward to trying it!!”
“This was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. First, when we walked through the door, the man at the counter was so friendly and helpful when it came to asking questions about the menu. We came to find out he was actually the owner. We sat down waiting on our food, and it was hot, fresh, and made to order. The flavor was outstanding! If you get a chance to stop by this spot, you will not be disappointed.”

“It’s a great place for older teen birthday parties and adult work bonding experiences. There’s enough games to make the children feel like children and games for adults to have fun like teenagers. There is also a bar area for adults. Expect it to be loud. So, decide if that’s your scene.”
“Some of the most delicious burgers I've ever had! I absolutely love burgers and always on the hunt for a huge, juicy, flavor packed, stacked high burger and this place is amazing. The burgers are super loaded with the meats, cheeses, sauces, and the buns are super soft. Trust me when I tell you these burgers are huge. The cook definitely knows how to churn out delicious burgers. Probably my new favorite burger spot in town. Thank you for such great food! Will be back next week :)”
“Incredible. Delicious. Wow.
One must eat their slice on site. I took the create 8 slices which was great. BUT the slice I ate there was beyond spectacular. The crispy delicate crust was lost at home compared to my experience at Andy's. Reheating pizza is an art, but there as something special at the restaurant. My first experience with Andy's but I already have favorites:
#1 - pepperoni
#2+ - mushroom & onion and the white.
I also purchased the Albe Barolo 2022 and enjoyed at home. Very berry, light, and did not disappoint. Paired well with the pizza!
Made my Friday night dinner easy and delicious. I highly recommend Andy's!”
“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.”
“I love it here. I wish I took pictures. But I was just so happy the entire time I forgot. Everything about Saba is beautiful. The food is amazing. The people are kind and sweet and happy to have you there. Our waiter was Hamza. He was wonderful and helpful and so sweet. Whenever anyone asked me any question all I could say was “I’m so happy”. Because truly, everything was lovely. I cannot wait to come back. I will be telling everyone I know about my very happy experience here.”
“came here as a quick pit stop on a family trip, the whole team was very kind and accommodating. very welcoming employees, it was my sisters 3rd birthday and she got a free ice cream, Eman was very kind, and an older gentleman came up to ask us multiple times to check in overall 10/10 experience”
“Delicious drinks, serene atmosphere, and amazing staff! I ordered the passion mango sparkling ade and it was so refreshing and yummy. The cashier, Hannah, is super kind, welcoming, and made sure to assist me in every aspect of my visit. I will be sure to come back soon!”

“The best little bakery you could ask for and it’s right in my neighborhood. This could be a problem. Maybe if I walk there I can burn enough calories to justify a daily cinnamon roll. And time my arrival as Max is pulling them out of the oven. Because they are sooo good. Also try the baguettes, croissants, and various pastries that seem to randomly roll out throughout the morning. Note: if you want a fat Cinnabon, go to the mall. These are cinnamon rolls with a moist, barely baked center. Apparently not everyone is a fan of the sweet gooey center. Hahaha - just pass it over here! Enjoy. (Daily?)”
“Food quality was exceptional with freshly cooked food and tasty flavors of seasoned chicken and gyro meat. Staff was friendly and provided attentive service and seemed to take pride in their hospitality. Overall, it makes for an enjoyable meal with the quality food and atmosphere at this restaurant.”
“I had been seeing honeygrow everywhere and never really knew what it was, so yesterday, Saturday, I finally had the chance to stop in, and I’m so glad I did. Everything looked so fresh. The restaurant was clean, the kitchen and cooking area were immaculate, and even the beverage bar was spotless. The whole place felt pristine at this location. The employees were nice, and the customer service was very satisfactory. I ordered the kale chicken Caesar and added bacon. I also had them heat up the chicken and bacon. My plan was to take it home, but it looked so good that I opened the container in the car just to have a taste, and it never made it home. It was absolutely delicious. The Caesar dressing, the chicken, and everything together was just amazing.
Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back. 10/10 I highly recommend.”
“I've now visited three times, and each experience feels just as special as the first. The food is always comforting, fresh, and cooked to perfection, but the true heart of this place is the people. The service is consistently excellent, and I have to give a special shoutout to Hannah, Jonathan, and Carmelo, who each took great care of us during my visits.
They are genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming, always making sure our table is happy and well-stocked with delicious banchan. It’s rare to find a spot that combines such amazing meals with a warm, family-like atmosphere. I'm already excited for my next visit!”
“I came in lost. Unsure of what I wanted. Starving and clueless, Eldana(I hope I spelt right) kindly guided me to crafting the perfect meal. The manager, Andrea, and her sidekick Siem, created the most welcoming environment. The service was exceptional right when I walked in the door. The food was amazing. Definitely coming back 1000%!!!!!”
“The food was really good, and we enjoyed everything we ordered! The servers were friendly and welcoming, and the service was great throughout our meal. The meat can be a little on the pricey side, but overall, the food was delicious and we had a great experience.
The only area that could use some improvement is the bathroom—it could be a bit cleaner and better maintained. Other than that, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back!”
“The food here is so awesome and full of flavor! You can even pair your entree with tons of different sauces, which makes it even better.The only thing about this place is that it's really tight on seating, and only outside seating is available. It gets super busy inside, so it can feel a bit cramped. But hey, it's all about the food, which is seriously yummy! 😆”
“In today's world of ever increasing prices. Lee Gimbap is serving good food portions for fair prices. Every kimbop is well filled and tasted good. Counter service was pleasant and efficient. This is a good takeout option for the lazy evenings when you don't feel like cooking.”
“Hidden in the university mall shopping center is this well decorated restaurant/cafe. The staff is so friendly and the service is so fast. We had the sea salt coffee which is delicious. You must also try any of their banh mi’s. They offer a meal deal as well. Incredibly affordable!”
