“Absolutely great sushi and great service! Ordered the dragon roll, salmon lover roll, volcano roll, and 2 California rolls. Everything was perfect. We ordered take out after eating there several days prior (second pic with flying dragon roll). I’d say the price is very reasonable for such delicious and fresh sushi. Service was excellent. Will be our go to place for both dine in and take out!”
“Food is never disappointing at Cap Grill. It's a good place for a business lunch. Not sure I would take my wife there for a "fine dining " experience. It's priced that way, but it feels very chain restaurant, which it is.”
“Hot pot was supper good with good portions per each person. Workers were super nice and are always walking around if you need anything. The prime rib was so tender and melts in your mouth. Not to mention the sauce that they give you the instructions to make is amazing and you can choose how much of an ingredient to add in.”
“This restaurant has a comfortable seating area with a relaxed atmosphere and serves fusion-style dishes, some with an Asian flair that is truly comforting. Last time, we tried the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which had a hint of sesame soy sauce and crunchiness from the lettuce, making it the perfect appetizer. The Fettuccine Alfredo with parmesan cream sauce was good, and the Sweet and Spicy Ribs were sweet and tasty, with a kick from the Korean Gochugaru sauce. We enjoyed all aspects of the restaurant, including the decent service.”
“A great place for a weekend brunch or groups. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. I really like the mapu tofu, the custard buns, the bubble teas and the double cooked pork belly.”

Artie's
“My wife and I went for Easter brunch. Food as always along with service was top notch. I like Arti's. The restaurant gives me that when I was a child (many moons ago LOL) and my Mom would take me to a cool restaurant for dinner after church type of feeling. Again food selections were great only thing was, they discontinued Chicken and Waffles on the menu. This was sort of a let down because that was the dish we had many times for Easter Brunch. When I asked the manager he explained that upper management revamped the menus throughout the Great American restaurants after the fire. I look forward to the next time my wife and I have dinner here. I hope that maybe upper management can find it in their heart to bring back the Chicken and waffles. Thanks for the good times.”
“Get the bread for $1Maggie salad great (ask for warm goat cheese vs cold), both of us could have just had that and been happy.Short smoke salmon was greatBread pudding was goodTex Mex egg rolls were goodI'd skip the beef tip pasta.”
“This place has great service and the venue is stellar however the main point of the whole restaurant is good for which is lacking here in my humble opinion. If you are familiar with Japanese food the dishes are mediocre at best.”

“Antonio greeted us promptly and Mike served and helped us quickly. Drinks were well made and conversation was great. It made date night fun. Amazing bartenders. Will definitely come back and make the trip from Maryland for more drinks!”

“This is my first time coming to the ‘Deli’ and oh my goodness this place is good. I got the mad Italian and it was 10/10 one of best sandwiches I’ve had. I would definitely recommend this deli for any sandwiches hot subs and great snacks!”
“Hot pot was supper good with good portions per each person. Workers were super nice and are always walking around if you need anything. The prime rib was so tender and melts in your mouth. Not to mention the sauce that they give you the instructions to make is amazing and you can choose how much of an ingredient to add in.”
“I mean the food is good, but I feel like for the price you pay, you get very little rice and kabobs. I will say that the pickle plate is pretty good though, and definitely recommend their kofta and aleppo spiced steak.”

“Banditos Tacos and Tequila was definitely a pleasant surprise. Despite it being a busy Friday night and not having a reservation, there was no wait for great booth seating - and the music was great.The Hamburger Nachos were scrumptious and were definitely shareable — the portion size was huge!! I went with the Quesadilla Marina for my main course & devoured it!! The Old Bay seasoned shrimp and cilantro claw were THE perfect combo with the Chihuahua cheese ?Our server was super duper attentive and checked in often to make sure we had enough water and also weren’t waiting to order anything else.”

“Absolutely 5-?place. Why? (1) They are genuinely hospitable and you will feel their positive vibes as soon as they start greeting you. (2) The place is very clean, well-maintained, and organized, with good distance between tables. I like their booths better?. (3) They serve authentic and VERY delicious Afghan dishes. Kabobs are soft and juicy. Shrimps are crazy delicious and soft (never chewy). Ghabeli-polow is the best! (4) Their quality of service and dishes are consistently great. (5) Their price is competitively low for such large portions.Highly recommended!”

“The staff and food are incredible. Will, the bartender came to greet my son after remembering his last visit (even gave us a little lesson on his grenadine recipe).”
“Always a great meal (never disappointed (yet))Vegetarian options: Asparagus mashed cauliflower Brussels sprouts saladsDietary restrictions: They’ve accommodated every reasonable request I’ve made to-date.”
“This is a family owned restaurant. Ofc the owner couldnt be any friendlier. Keep in mind that it's a small place. The lobster roll I had was wayyyyy better than "Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls" in DC and Shirlington. Their roasted beef burger was divine to me since I'm a meatlover. I enjoyed the clam chowder more than I thought. You can find it easily in this DMV area but this place might have the best clam chowder. Lobster bisque was also good (but I liked the clam chowder more). Whoopie pie was alright, not my thing, but you have to try their Boston cream pie. Will definitely come back to try the fried dishes because I saw the next table order a lot of those. I don't have to think of Boston anymore when I crave lobster rolls.”
“family owned Greek restaurant with big portions and decent pricing. Food comes out very quick, great for a lunch spot. slower lunch crowd during the week, was able to get a table immediately. Olivia was our server and she took great care of us. will be coming back with friends.”
“We’ve been wanting to check out some more of the restaurants in Old Town Fairfax. The Wine House did not disappoint! I had the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and green beans. The tenderloin was wrapped in an olive tapenade and prosciutto. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious! For dessert we had the Dark Chocolate Terrine with espresso cream and toasted hazelnuts. It was decadent and wonderful. Of course the wine selection was great. Looking forward to going back again.”

“Lovely staff, very friendly!! I loved the gyro sandwish their bita bread is out of this world!! My husband enjoyed the lamb with authentic Egyptian rice! Everything was wonderful highly recommend it!!”
“We picked up food here and boy did it delight! Flavorful, large portions and well packed to bring home and eat hot. The vegetarian options (samosas and vegetables in Indian gravy) did not disappoint. Butter chicken was melt in your mouth tender and juicy.”

“My experience at Happy Thai was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The combination of delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service made for a truly memorable evening. I highly recommend Happy Thai to anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine and an unforgettable dining experience.”
“@oceanparadise_restaurantI officially have a new[to me], must try restaurant in NoVA! The quality of the food was spectacular.✨️ Sautéed Calamari: The PERFECT app to share and to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Calamari but this changed my mind. The sauce is amasing with the garlic bread too.✨️ Chicken & cranberry salad: Deliciously crisp and refreshing, I was told this is a new addition to the menu and I think it was perfect for spring!? Spicy Lobster pasta: This wasn't as spicy as I anticipated, but man was the flavours are so tasty! I would 100% order this again and probably my favourite item overall.✨️ Lobster roll: Most Lobster rolls I've had in the area are too mayo-y and this was the opposite. It was refreshing and perfectly prepared, easily would recommend the lobster roll here to anyone who is craving.? Red sangria & Beach water: Drinks were so pretty, I absolutely loveeeee the sangria.? Key lime pie & Bread pudding: Both absolutely delicious desserts, personally one of the best key lime pies I've had as it wasn't too tangy or too sweet. The bread pudding was phenomenal, it's one of those desserts I'd come back for alone.Overall, I can't believe I had not been here before. It's made it on my top restaurants for NoVA area and will be back soon!- insta @ SpicyAivy”
“I made the mistake of not making a reservation here for dinner on a Saturday night. Even so, the hostesses were kind enough to fit us in at the bar. There was still full service and we got to watch the bartenders make beautiful cocktails. We wanted to try everything on the menu. Started with the pie tee, I ordered the Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang while my fiancé ordered the Curry Laksa noodles, and we finished with some pandan crème brûlée and coconut ice cream. Overall very filling, amazing quality of food and service, and definitely lived up to their name of making a good (Southeast) Impression.”
“Little hidden in plain sight gem of a restaurant. Food is consistently flavorful, good sized portions, and low turnover in staff. I don't drink much but every time I go many people talk about the margaritas.”
“I stopped by here a few weeks ago for a coffee and muffin. They were both delicious, but most noteworthy was the service. I was traveling for a nearby vet appointment and had my bird with me, so I couldn't leave him in the car alone. I called and requested curbside delivery, and the staff person kindly provided it. I tried giving her a cash tip, but she refused.Thank you so much for your kindness. It can be stressful making a 4+ hour round trip with a pet, and you made my day brighter and eased some of that stress.”
“Fresh rolls, delicious drinks, an attentive waiter, and the restaurant's clean and modern interior decor make for a great dining experience. I will definitely return to try more!Parking: Plenty of free parking as it's located in a shopping plaza.”
“This is a long overdue review I've been meaning to post, but my husband and I went to PF Chang's about a week ago and we were blown away. The food was great, but the service was even better. Our waiter, Erick, was amazing. He was so patient and helpful; we will definitely be returning to this location. Also, there was a manager who knew we were there for the first time and was very welcoming to us. 1000/10 recommend”
“I always rely on True Food for its delicious yet healthy food options. We just had lunch there and loved the ambiance - the combination of wood tones and greenery created a relaxing and comfortable feel. The staff member who greeted us was welcoming and friendly, and our server provided attentive and speedy service. Our food arrived within minutes of placing our order.The food was exceptional, especially the edamame dumplings appetizer. They were perfectly seasoned with soy sauce, dashi, white truffle oil, and herbs. The True Blue Grass-Fed Burger was also a great choice. The Peruvian pepper sauce added a pleasant kick to the burger, while the caramelized onions provided a sweet contrast to the blue cheese. The Korean Noodle Bowl was similar to Japchae, made with sweet potato noodles and veggies. However, it had a subtle citrusy flavor with garlic. Our drinks, Kale Aid with Greek yogurt and Bright Eyes, were both healthy and delicious. Their vibrant colors made them a feast for the eyes.I'm looking forward to revisiting True Food soon to try some of their other tasty and healthy options.”
“The restaurant atmosphere is very charming. The food was very good and came out quickly. The service was very good as well, my only suggestion is that the servers who have long hair should tie their hair back. When the food and drinks were being served, the waitress leaned over the table and her hair brushed the table.”
“I like this place because it's halal, which is great for Muslims. The staff were really nice. They surprised and congratulated our friend on her birthday. We all loved the woman from Azerbaijan. Thanks a bunch!”
“Everything was amazing and our server Sam was very attentive. We can't wait to come back with friends.We had the ceviche, seared scallop roll, filet, brisket, Nanban, flaming tuna roll, garlic butter scallops, passionfruit, and matcha crepe cake.The ceviche was a very good portion plus fun to watch when it was delivered.”

“Keeping in mind it's Dennys so it's not michelen rated, it is consistent, good, price effective. Service was awesome! We had a cheeseburger (fries were perfect ..burger was good) ,classic Benny (they didn't use poached egg, but was really good) and country fried steak and eggs (hash browns were pretty good, so was steak and gravy)Wheelchair accessibility: 2 upfront spots only”
“My waiter was very nice, I would recommend him to other customers! I’m definitely coming back here.Kid-friendliness: I was here with my brother, we are both minors but they treated us as equals which was very nice.”
“As far as college dining goes, Ike’s is quite good, though to be fair “college dining” is not exactly a high bar. The food is usually quite tasty, and most meals there’s a good selection of options. However, the service is highly variable; I’ve had a decent amount of good experiences but also a handful of bad ones.My biggest complaint is that since you aren’t serving yourself, you have little to no control over the portion sizes the servers give you. I’ve had someone heap my plate until the food was nearly falling off, which is usually way more than I want to eat, but also sometimes have someone give me these tiny, almost “sample size” portions of each item that add up to like half a meal. I’ve found that, while I can usually get more if I ask, trying to say “that’s enough” is surprisingly difficult due to the large amount of background noise; often the server doesn’t hear what I’m saying until they’ve already put the food on my plate.Another thing worth noting is that there is often a lot of background noise, which depending on your preferences can be a benefit or a problem. Personally I find it can be helpful when trying to study, but some people could find it overwhelming.Vegetarian options: Always some vegetarian options, but the amount and quality can vary day to day.”
“Stopped at this restaurant the other day because my kid was starving. There's plenty of parking and the restaurant is handicap accessible. We went through the drive-thru to order and pick up food. I love how you're able to use an app in the Drive-Thru now. We were able to order and have her food prepared pretty quickly. The food was good. I would recommend for a visit.”

“In Korean shabu-shabu, people eat together from the same pot.In the United States, it was fun to eat shabu-shabu from each person’s own pot.Meat and seafood were served, and vegetables and other ingredients were brought out and eaten in a buffet style.It was nice that you could choose the shabu-shabu soup base according to your taste.All ingredients were fresh and delicious.I had a great time and had a delicious meal :)”

“Chubby Squirrel has the best wings. On Wednesday they offer 6 wings for $5 and i'm not kidding, they're the best wings i've ever had. Better than Buffalo Wild Wings, Bonchon, WingStop, or anywhere else.”

“Always great food here at Okonomi! There are also designated spots for those who come there for pick up / dine-in as well.Parking: good amount of parkingWheelchair accessibility: ADA compliant”
“It has been a while since I last visited this location, but I can always rely on their flavorful and robust coffee, which makes it consistently perfect. The excellent service and the place's always well-maintained and tidy make it an ideal location to relax, sip coffee, or watch the surroundings through its window while I enjoy my coffee.”
“I tried the organic bison chorizo and eggs this morning. Two poached eggs, some nice chips on the side and a nice (not spicy at all) chorizo. Well done! Oh coffee too!”
“Everything was amazing and our server Sam was very attentive. We can't wait to come back with friends.We had the ceviche, seared scallop roll, filet, brisket, Nanban, flaming tuna roll, garlic butter scallops, passionfruit, and matcha crepe cake.The ceviche was a very good portion plus fun to watch when it was delivered.”
“The service was excellent and the food was great. I had a brisket sandwich for the first Time, and Mr Ed was awesome and so hopeful and professional. Believe me I will be coming back with the whole family, Ed if you see this thanks, I do appreciate you man.”

“This place is definitely not what it looks like from the outside. You should try it, they have amazing, authentic ramen. And guess what? They don't even give you forks! ? I had the veggie ramen and my partner had the spicy veggie ramen. Both were super flavorful but not too much.”
“From the minute our party of two entered, the staff greeted us warmly and were very polite. To start, the chicken karaage was perfectly seasoned, crisp, and temperature hot - no sauce needed. For my meal, I ordered the nigiri only Omakase (Chef Inspired Platter) which came with a miso soup and salad. The taste brought me back to Japan. Our meal also came with dessert in which we chose the green tea ice cream which did not disappoint! Everyone working was attentive, informative, and wonderful. Will be back and would definitely recommend!”
“Mohamed has always taken care of us! I’ve been coming to this location since before Covid and the pizza is always on point. Even the picky eater kids keep munching down slices! Come to this spot, Mohamed’s smile and pizza will surely brighten up your ”
“Quick stop by to grab a coffee for the road. The place was packed! The line moved, and once ordered, the cold brew and regular coffee was served quickly and without fanfare and it was good. We got a blueberry banana muffin as well, and that was fine. The place is large, with lots of small tables, but feels crowded and there isn’t much room to move about. The front door has steps leading up, accessible entrance in the back, but we didn’t see it. The building is from 1895… used to be a post office and mercantile. Parking nearby.”
“The best people ever we had the last iftar here at this place and I regretted I did not discover this place earlier! With all the global crisis helping a local business is a duty! I promise I will come by more often”
“We had the pleasure of dining with our server, Kelly, and she was amazing. She provided amazing hospitality and was so kind to us! I would definitely come here again! The food was also amazing on top of the service!”
“This is one of my favorite boba places around fairfax.Really love the ambiance and they are open late at night.I have tried thai milk tea, Vietnamese coffee and Cherry blossom drink.Everything was delicious. They have place to hangout and can spend time with friends.They are not just a boba place. They do have food to eat.”
“We picked up food here and boy did it delight! Flavorful, large portions and well packed to bring home and eat hot. The vegetarian options (samosas and vegetables in Indian gravy) did not disappoint. Butter chicken was melt in your mouth tender and juicy.”

“The smiles that Amira welcomed us while ordering through drive thru was delightful after a tiring day, Thank you Amira, even my son’s words what a nice lady, in addition to the gentleman when we paid as well for the lady who handed us the food.Thank you everyone and Thank you Amira”
“This is, in my opinion, the absolute best coffee shop in Fairfax. It's my favorite coffee shop I have EVER been to actually. The staff are SUPER friendly and the coffee is out of this world. I dont know how they make it, but they have the magic sauce. They give you a little waffle cone cookie with your coffee and it pairs SO well together. No where else does that!! Love, love, love this place. ❤️”
“Freddy's is often compared to In-N-Out for its similar focus on burgers, but with its own unique twist. Their thin, crispy fries and custard shakes are also popular. Freddy's typically earns praise for its fresh ingredients and classic American flavors. However, some might find the menu slightly limited compared to In-N-Out. Overall, if you're looking for a tasty burger spot reminiscent of In-N-Out, Freddy's is definitely worth a try.”
“At Anita's New Mexico Style Mexican Food, I savored the pork green chili burrito, a visual and flavorful delight. This mouthwatering creation featured a generous filling of succulent pork carnitas bathed in a tantalizing green chili sauce, crowned with an additional layer of the spicy green chili for an extra kick of flavor. The burrito's harmonious blend of tender meat and vibrant chili sauce left a lasting impression, thoroughly satisfying my taste buds. Accompanying this culinary masterpiece was a side of guacamole, boasting a chunky texture and made with the freshest ingredients. The guacamole's creamy richness complemented the bold flavors of the burrito, enhancing the overall dining experience. My visit to Anita's was a gastronomic journey filled with authentic New Mexico-style cuisine and impeccable flavors. I wholeheartedly enjoyed every bite and would eagerly recommend Anita's for a taste of...”
“I love smoothie king! It has great smoothies, smoothie bowls, cookies, and beef sticks! The smoothies are soo good! Do NOT DOOR DASH It!! It's like twice the price. It's like seven dollars to get a smoothie. It's like 30 dollars if you door dash it. Although that's not really smoothies kings fault. I give smoothie kind 5 and door dash 2.5”
“I generally hate paying money for a sandwich I could make at home myself, but this was different. The staff was patient with us and went over everything in their meals. The manager overheard me asking about the potato soup and came out from the back to explain. Turns out all their soups and breads are made fresh on premises. The atmosphere is considerably better than Subway, and feels like a restaurant rather than a kitchen with tables.”
“In my 20 some years being in luxury service industry I have never seen anyone as amazing as the manager Alisa in this Chick-fi-a location. Her energy is absolutely phenomenon, her approach to her staff and customers and even the food delivery service people. She is an absolute gem!!! We have a 3 year old daughter and usually go to chick-fil-a location with a playground, hands down this location will be on top of our list thank to Alisa and her team!!! Thank you so much for everything you do, like i said the world needs more people like Alisa!!!Kid-friendliness: This location does have a play area for the kids!”
“Friendly staff! Ordered a peanut butter shake and it wasn’t like I used to have in all other DQ stores, and it ended up I threw it away. Other orders were fine”
“PROS: Since I used the drive-thru, I can only attest to the exterior of the property. The exterior is curb appeal. Clean, debris free. Manicured. Food was good and according to order.CONS: None.”
“Been here a few times, the food is good most of the time but sometimes you get something not so great (still edible though). Usually have no issues hereVegetarian options: Not too many, but the 2 or 3 things they do have are pretty good. (spicy potato soft taco is the bomb)”
“Yeah the food here is goo and the employees are great, only qualms are about price. But, even when I ordered a shake for delivery they still provided the cookie and wrapped the soup which was pretty cool.”
“First time at this location. Stopped in for a cold brew - Grande - with cream. Paid with the Starbucks App.Drink came up fairly quickly. Drink was strong and delicious - got the ole neurons firing in just the way I needed...Service was good!#Starbucks”
“If you're looking for a restaurant that offers delicious food, great drinks, and outstanding service, look no further than Uncle Julio’s. It's a culinary journey that will leave you craving more. We can't wait to return and explore more of their enticing menu!”
“A good burger king with good staff and food, the only problem I had was that the building was outdated and old, however this is a great bkVegetarian options: Impossible Whopper, Meat made using Plants, Order without cheese for full vegan experience.Kid-friendliness: Playground for kids aged 4-10 and BK kids meal.Dietary restrictions: Buns Made With Sesame Seeds.”
“I eat in here a lot. Yes, theyre really busy in the evenings and the college kids can be kind of annoying, but the people who work there are consistently friendly and helpful if you are kind and patient. Don't select table service on the app, they dont do it here. Be sure to wait by the counter for your order, as it's hard to hear the number called out, especially when theres lots of students. Im rlly grateful for my experiences here ??”
“We visited this restaurant some time ago and really enjoyed it, particularly the high-quality pork meat. We are fans of Korean BBQ and have tried out many restaurants in Northern Virginia, particularly those that offer all-you-can-eat BBQ. This one stands out as one of the best; their meat is of good quality and delicious.”
“Great atmosphere, great location, family friendly, great beer selection that is diverse enough for anyone who likes beer, home grown and owned, community based...what else?”

“I love shopping at Fran's. I don't bake often but when I do, I find everything I need. They also offer classes - I hope to have time someday to sign up for them.”
“Court side Thai is a great cozy place in downtown Fairfax. Very cute entrance. The Thai food was fantastic, I got typical pad Thai, but with scallops which were amazing. My wife got the pineapple fried rice which she also enjoyed. The court side Thai dumplings for an appetizer were perfect.”
“The pizza was great, and Jimena provided amazing service and was very warm and welcoming. She was also helpful and recommended me the maverick pizza which was amazing.”
“I've driven past PJ Skidoos multiple times, and have always wanted to stop in. I'm happy I did. Inside you're greeted by a friendly hostess who walks you through a beautiful, dark wood, dining room. The walls are covered with relics from the past. We ordered finger foods: chicken fingers, and potato skins. Both were outstanding. Lastly, I ordered the French Onion (I try them wherever I go). Overall the FO Soup was good, it had the perfect amount of cheese and wasn't overwhelming with onions. My only suggestion would be a pinch more salt in the broth. Side note* I would have ordered an Old Fashion if the bar had ice molds (Large Ice Cube). I'm not sure why bars don't carry the silicone molds to make them. All that being said, I'll be back, and I'll bring friends.”
“Great food, lots of options and priced very reasonably. The best thing though is they will make anything on the menu anytime that they are open. Sometimes a hot smoke at 7:00 am is just perfect.”
“This place is so good! Such a large menu. We ordered ramen, kimbap, katsu, stew, and kimchi fried rice. Everything was so delicious and fresh. And there is more to try! I will definitely return :)”
“This is a great affordable option for Chinese food in the area! The space is bright and relatively open, the staff is kind and very efficient, and the food came out very quickly. While it is great for the price point, the food wasn't very memorable. The yibin spicy dry noodles were packed with flavor but a tad oily, so the cucumber side dish we got was a great pairing. There aren't too many veggie options just as an FYI! The pork soup dumplings were good but nothing spectacular. They weren't very hot when they came out, and they didn't have too much soup in them.”
“Sweetgreen was my favorite place to get my salad fix ... until I had Roots. Please open one in Reston. I seriously dream of these salads, and I wish I could buy the grilled chicken in bulk for my more boring salads at home.”
“If you are in the Fairfax area, Bebop is a must-try. I really like their selections of bulgogi burgers, the bulgogi rice bowl with purple rice, and the ambience of the restaurant, which is decorated with old music albums. Friendly service. I would also recommend trying out their turkey bacon topping on their burger.Overall, this is a great place if you are looking to try an unique type of burger, and if you are a fan of bulgogi like I am.Dietary restrictions: Turkey bacon instead of pork bacon. Can accommodate with some of the toppings, but definitely ask the server.Parking: It is in a shopping center right by Party City.”
“Currently our favorite place for pho. There are so many pho places in NoVA but always hard to find good ones. So glad we found this place. We have been coming here to dine or ordering DoorDash from here almost every week for the last couple of months. Fresh ingredients, flavorful broth, good quality meat, always friendly service, competitive price, rich serving size and probably the cleanest and modern pho restaurant I have been to. What more could you ask for?”
“Very good food, but expensive!When I feel like spending a little cash this place is awesome, it just hurts me a bit to walk away spending like $15-$20 on one meal.”
“The owner is genuinely the nicest I have talked with in a long time. He was so friendly to my friends and I when we went during Spring Break. Even going out of his way to sate my friend’s curiosity about the air purifier. Not only that, but the Froyo was amazing! Especially the whipped cream he happily swirled on top. I cannot wait until I get the chance to go there again, hopefully it’s soon!”
“The best part about this place is Donald Pennyfeather. Great guy. He knows and is a friend to everyone that walked in. The food was ok, but was made better through his suggestions.”
“Coffee and food are great! Ordered the cuban sandwich and the guava chicken sandwich, in 2 different occasions,both very good and savory. The croquetas (tried chicken and Mac& cheese) were also flavory.”
“Best peruvian chicken ever had. fresh and juicy chicken. yukka is so fresh and nice fried rice. i came all the way from sterling and was very satisfied. Highly recomment. Great food with great service.”
“What no Lamb, You have Sheep all over the Bar. You have lamb stew you get your "5" back.good food very nice and friends.You have lamb stew you get your "5" back.”
“This establishment is highly regarded; however, its remote location limits my frequent patronage. The reasonably priced beverages are exceptionally palatable, particularly the tea, which is arguably the finest in the area. The ambiance is conducive to relaxation, and the service is commendable.”
“The good:Chicken was a really big portion (twice the size of a Chick-fil-A patty)Chicken was hot! (temperature) even after a 5 minute drive homeThe spice is mixed into the batter, rather than being a sauce, and the Medium is pretty spicy, which is a refreshing change.Waffle fries were really tasty!The not so good:The "Hangry Sauce" is basically Chipotle mayo. I asked if it was mayo based, and was told no. I really dislike mayo, and it was slathered all over the patty. Even after wiping it off, it was too much.The fries are somewhere between a small and a medium, a couple more would've been appreciated.The pickles are really thick, but you only get two on your sandwich. A 50% thinner cut with an extra pickle or two would've gone a long way on getting the taste on every biteI'll definitely go back, but will probably try the Chicken Waffles instead of the sandwich. I don't like coleslaw or mayo, which seemed to be the big draw for the sandwich.”
“I always rely on True Food for its delicious yet healthy food options. We just had lunch there and loved the ambiance - the combination of wood tones and greenery created a relaxing and comfortable feel. The staff member who greeted us was welcoming and friendly, and our server provided attentive and speedy service. Our food arrived within minutes of placing our order.The food was exceptional, especially the edamame dumplings appetizer. They were perfectly seasoned with soy sauce, dashi, white truffle oil, and herbs. The True Blue Grass-Fed Burger was also a great choice. The Peruvian pepper sauce added a pleasant kick to the burger, while the caramelized onions provided a sweet contrast to the blue cheese. The Korean Noodle Bowl was similar to Japchae, made with sweet potato noodles and veggies. However, it had a subtle citrusy flavor with garlic. Our drinks, Kale Aid with Greek yogurt and Bright Eyes, were both healthy and delicious. Their vibrant colors made them a feast for the eyes.I'm looking forward to revisiting True Food soon to try some of their other tasty and healthy options.”
“The restaurant atmosphere is very charming. The food was very good and came out quickly. The service was very good as well, my only suggestion is that the servers who have long hair should tie their hair back. When the food and drinks were being served, the waitress leaned over the table and her hair brushed the table.”
“This establishment is located in a former Pho restaurant, and I am pleased to dine here because it offers both Vietnamese pho and dim sum. I believe that these dishes cannot go wrong. Additionally, I am very satisfied with the service, and the cleanliness of the place is impeccable.”
“I like this place because it's halal, which is great for Muslims. The staff were really nice. They surprised and congratulated our friend on her birthday. We all loved the woman from Azerbaijan. Thanks a bunch!”

“Chirashi bowl here is my favorite. It's assembly is so pretty and it's very filling. The variety and quality of fish is really good! Service is fast and accommodating even when busy. My dad's allergic to egg, so they make sure to avoid adding imitation crab in his dish. Ambiance is casual and comfortable for any occasion dining. Seatings a bit cozy because it's a bit smaller size restaurant, but it doesn't feel too claustrophobic.”

“One of my favorite local sushi spots great price quality is top notch atmosphere is delightful!Picture of the manhattan roll one of my most favorites lots of fish just lovely!”
“My partner and I loved our experience here. The staff were very welcoming and the food was wonderful! The pasta isn’t from scratch but was still great with options for mainstream and traditional Italian dishes. Our waitress Sarah was so kind and because it was our first time there she offered a champagne toast on the house.Pros: I loved the variety of protein options that could be added to dishes. The dinner overall was a little more expensive than we usually have for a casual night out but honestly the atmosphere and food was so worth it. We’re easy going people and just like to have a good return on investment wherever we dine. We definitely felt like we got that here. We’ll be back!Cons: I love an Alfredo dish or cacio e Pepe but there weren’t any offered.Recommendation: reservation for weekends or Friday nights.”
“This is a popular Korean BBQ restaurant located in Fairfax, and unlike the typical all-you-can-eat restaurants, they serve combo menus. The meats are delicious, and their seafood pancake is also great. The ambiance is lively and youthful, giving the feel of being at a night market in Korea. However, the wait time can be quite long, although the service is decent.Parking: The parking lot is free, but it tends to fill up quickly.”
“Our go to sushi in Fairfax! Their menu is extensive and everything is always fresh! I love their entree boxes, complete with sushi, edamame, and salad. The perfect box of everything! I tend to order out, but service is always so nice. They have thrown in a free dessert or appetizer with almost every single order. Highly recommend!”

bartaco
“This is a go-to!! The drinks are a bit spendy for what you get, but that's the only downside. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is delicious! Great place to go with family, friends, or by yourself!”
“We hadn't been in a while and were not disappointed. The food and service was excellent. The device was fresh and delicious. Ricardo was the most attractive server and the manager, Edgar, was on the floor and checked on us as well. Highly recommend!”
“I've been eager to try Eerkin's Uyghur Cuisine for a few months now! My pal and I ventured to the Fairfax location and were excited to try out a variety of Uyghur specialties. The ambiance of the restaurant was quaint and cozy. From the checkered table cloth to yellow walls, I loved how simple and classic all of the decor was alongside Uyghur artifacts. You can really tell Eerkin's is a lively establishment that embodies pieces of Uyghur culture everywhere you turn. I'd also like to applaud the ability for this restaurant to bring together families and friends from all cultures - absolutely beautiful to witness! The service was incredible! Our servers made sure to give us accurate wait times for our food to be ready. They ensured that if a table was available they would let us know and they did just that! We decided to eat the food out of the to-go boxes to save on cleanup, but they were so kind and offered to provide us with additional plates if needed. We started off with two Lamb Kebabs and Samsa, a bun with minced beef, onion, and seasoned with black pepper. The kebabs were tasty bites sprinkled with cumin/house spices that were a great start to the meal. The Samsa was a bit on the heavier side with a strong meaty and onion flavor. Think a meat pie with great spice! We then got the Homemade Laghman - hand-pulled noodles with stir fried lamb and an assortment of onions and peppers. I really enjoyed how the juices from the lamb was essentially the sauce that bound the peppers and onions. Phenomenal! To finish off, we got the Khhazan Lamb Kabab with naan. I really loved the cut on this lamb and thought it paired perfectly with buttery, soft Uyghur naan. The lamb was slightly spicy and packed a great flavor that submerge throughout the naan. Very unique taste that was delectable. The meats were divine! Eerkin's spice mix of a spicy red chili and cumin that was savory in the best way possible. Each were bursting with flavor, incredibly juicy, and were cooked just right. Amazing, quality food and I cannot wait to come back to try more. A fantastic introduction to Uyghur Cuisine - a new favorite of mine!”
“Porter was excellent. Wait time on food was reasonable. The Mac and cheese was amazing especially with bacon and or shrimp on top. But even alone it's outstanding.”
“I am a restaurant owner and I know the difficulty of keeping food ready and at the same time preserving its taste.I came today, 04/01/2024, in the afternoon of Ramadan. We were traveling, so I expected that there would be no ready-made food or bacon bits, but I was surprised by the very delicious taste and the upscale treatment ?❤️ Your brother, Mutab, is from Saudi Arabia.”
“Love #feasting here. ??Parking: Even if this place gets crowded you will always find a spot to parkKid-friendliness: Children will enjoy feasting here as wellWheelchair accessibility: Server assist you to an accessible wheelchair table”
“One of the best Indian cuisine restaurants is this one. Weekends are buffet only (no biryanis when we visited) and weekdays are ala carte only. Their food is an authentic representation of what you had eaten in India.We found their sweet were overly sweet, but main course, appetizers were 10/10.”
“I’ve been going here for a decade. I always call and order and it’s always ready before I get there. The food is excellent and consistent. I love their Kraprow chicken, green curry and everything else! For every micro center visit this should always be a stop!”
“This place is amazing. All the food is authentic and tastes homemade. We had fried tofu, wonton soup and their version of orange chicken (paradise chicken). Everything was delicious and premium.”
“The food is authentic Mexican. We had the tableside guacamole as an appetizer. I had the steak fajitas with a mangolada! Everything was delicious! The staff is great, everyone is so friendly and accommodating.”
“We came in to the restaurant for our friends birthday. Mario and his team were amazing! They were so professional and polite! They gave us a wonderful experience. The food was delicious. We were treated like royalty!”
“I forgot to take a photo but literally the best sushi of my life! The portions are so big and it is SOOOO GOOD!!!! I will keep coming back here with my mom!!! It’s our new favorite place!!”

“Such a cute little modern spot. All the food was great and fresh. Fries, bao, popcorn chicken, and pork belly were all great. Good beer selection. Loved all the different beer glasses. Went in on a Sunday evening so it wasn’t very busy at all. Waiter checked on us consistently (sometimes that’s actually an issue when it’s slow, but not here!) will def be back to try the rest of the menu.Dietary restrictions: Popcorn chicken is gluten free. There are other options noted as gluten free too. Nice to have some options that aren’t boring or bad substitutes. Hard to find any sort of breaded chicken that’s gluten free. Bravo!”
“I will go back to Urbano. The food was good on my one visit, and the atmosphere was excellent with two sides of the restaurant open to the outdoors in good weather. The service was acceptable. The men's room is inadequate for the capacity of the restaurant though.”
“Delicious. We had to do some shopping and saw this place driving through the parking lot. Amazing food. Got spaghetti puttanesca and ravioli con fungi. Both had layered flavors and were just perfect.”
“3 stars for food because they change what used to be great Steak and Frits meal to a tuff and cheaper cut of meet. Un-eatable. Everything else on the menu has always been good.”
“After dinner in Mosaic District, my I Do Crew went to Ted's Bulletin for drinks and dessert. Our party occupied 5 seats at the bar. Our bartender Omar S. was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made delicious drinks. My friends enjoyed the Cherry Old Fashioned, The Back Nine, Garden Party, and Peachy Keen. I enjoyed two gin-based cocktails: Botanical Garden and Violet Queen cocktails. Both cocktails were floral and quite strong. We shared the Cherry Blossom Tres Leches, which was not as pictured on the website but tasted delicious. We couldn't finish it, so I took it home. Before we left, another girl bought us a round of Green Tea shot to celebrate my bachelorette. I liked how the Green Tea shot was made with Jameson Whiskey, Peach Schnapps, Lime Juice, and Simple Syrup!”
“This place opened in our neighborhood a while ago and has gone through several iterations, but I feel it has finally hit its stride. We came here early on a busy Saturday, and they had a table available without a reservation. The food and service were impeccable. Our server, Nick, was fantastic. We'll definitely be back.”
“I love this cozy restaurant. My partner and I decided to have lunch here while we were out running errands. Although it was noon, it felt like dinner for us since we start our days early. We enjoyed some Italian red wines and ordered the Ricotta dip with grilled bread as a starter. I would add a small side of additional toppings for the Ricotta (honey, walnuts, salt/olive oils) as you eat down through the layers. It was delicious but the top layer was the best. We also ordered the grilled octopus appetizer with artichokes, veggies, and potatoes which was absolutely delicious! My partner tried the make your own pasta option, which he really enjoyed choosing noche with rosa sauce, chicken adding in veggies at $1 a piece upcharge. We ended our meal with a delightful crème Brulee for dessert. Our server was pleasant and attentive during our lunch stay. The atmosphere was romantic and quaint. We will definitely be back for more dates :)”
“I love this place. Great quality & tasteful sushi, and you don’t have to pay crazy DC price. I’m willing to drive all the way from College Park to eat here.”

Hot Spot
“I love the single family sized burner tables to keep small children away from hot surfaces. I also like being able to sample two broths (spicy, mild). Our server was very family friendly and that is why I recommend bringing your family to this restaurant. This restaurant fills up fast so I recommend arriving early or late to beat the crowd. I think we got the last parking spot in Stryker mall. There were three guys blocking my car upon departure but they moved upon request. We came hungry and left very full.”
“Excellent happy hour and anytime dining establishment. The staff is super friendly, and the bartenders mix up great cocktails. Love the food! The bartenders are very friendly yet professional and can help provide dinner suggestions. I highly recommend this establishment. It is my personal Cheers!”
“My office ordered burgers for delivery last week for lunch. Absolutely, without question, the best hamburger I have ever eaten, and I"m a 67 year old American, so I have substantial experience with hamburgers. I took one bite and I was shocked at how perfect it tasted. I'm recommending Big Buns to all my friends. I'll have to visit and experience the whole atmosphere....”

Sushi On
“Sushi On boasts one of the largest and freshest sushi buffets in the area. The sashimi and sushi rolls were exceptionally delicious, and the small portions allowed for a delightful sampling experience. However, it's worth noting that the replenishment of the bar can take some time, which might test your patience during peak hours. Nonetheless, if you're craving quality sushi, this is the place to be! Apologies about the cropped photos but these were the only photos I took and I didn't want to post my son's face.”
“Went for a Valentines dinner and had a great meal. We ordered the rolling duck roti, tom yum soup, and the nua num tok (spicy steak salad...my fave!) for appetizers. They came out quickly and were all so good. We also ordered chicken pad thai and pork drunken noodles, which were both among the best we've ever had, and with huge portions.The service is attentive and fast considering there is really just one server and two other staff helping bring out the dishes.Prices are what you expect given inflation today, but we thought it was a good value for all the wonderful food we were served.The interior is well decorated considering the dining space must have originally been designed as an atrium restaurant for a 1980's hotel.Can't wait to go back!”
“TERRIBLE picture of the huge and delicious jalapeno stuffed pretzel and beers. The food was good but we enjoyed the atmosphere and beer best. The pretzel could easily be shared by four people. We also enjoyed nachos and the Cuban, they were good too but our favorite was the beer!”
“If you are looking for a place to enjoy craft beer and delicious food, look no further than Ornery. They offer a variety of beers on tap, from crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs, as well as a menu that features burgers, pizzas, salads, and more. The service is always friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and the prices are very reasonable.”

City Kabob
“Incredibly fresh and delicious! Even though it also has hookahs, the ventilation is fantastic, and you don't even notice the faint aroma. But the very flavorful food is the best reason to come here!”
“I have driven past Captain Pell's many times and finally gave it a try with a dinner with friends on a weekday night. The restaurant isn't fancy but the server was friendly and the food good. It was an enjoyable dinner. I would definitely go back.”
“Very good service and food! We went to celebrate our sons birthdays and it was a great time! They decorated the table, gave them a card and two complementary desserts. They also brought a little pastry with a candle for them. We left really satisfied.”

Blue Ocean
“Cozy and quiet spot for flavorful Japanese food and small plates (izakaya)They have a large menu and nice staff. Plus, there was some soft jazz playing on the speakers.I really loved their kitsune udon! Broth tasted rich, each topping tasted fresh, and the noodles were cooked perfectly chewy.”
“Me and hus really love the food and service here, view was good. My faverous is salt & pepper tofu, they're fresh and crispy, even u keep them long time they're still crispy. Beefs in here goood size, good chosen and good seasoning. Definitely we will be back.”

Sisters Thai
“incredible food, very impressive and efficient service! my only complaint is the price and the fact that it is so efficient that it is always crowded and it feels like your server is pressuring you to hurry up and leave. other than that no complaints!”
“Vegetarian options: Ask the servers about what is vegetarian, and if you need them separated from non veg food.Parking: Main street center free shared parking. Plenty of spots”
“This is a pretty decent chinese restaurant in a small mall area on fairfax. We ate here a couple of times, and the servers are very friendly- but we ordered takeout the most though and the food never disappoints. They are also pretty nice about adjusting menu items like asking for "tomato with egg" when it's not on the menu and also making some small changes to dishes. Definitely a great place if you want some traditional Chinese dishes in addition to the usual takeout chinese american foods. I would say their Uber eats prices are the same as dine in prices, so you won't be saving much pick up yourself, though.”
“I agree with another reviewer that this is a secret gem. Only complaint is that its a little cool, but I've learned to bring a sweater or light jacket. This is absolutly the best seafood around.”
“I have dined at this restaurant with my friends and family several times and have always been satisfied with the experience. Recently, we celebrated a friend's birthday at this all-you-can-eat grilled meat restaurant, which also offered an unlimited salad buffet, and we loved it. The restaurant is ideal for meat lovers as it provides many high-quality meats. Although the ambiance is dim, the venue has a pleasant atmosphere with plenty of tables and attentive service.”
“My steak wasn’t fantastic but everything else was great! I definitely recommend the coconut shrimp appetizer. My servers here have always been great and don’t hover.”
“As a food enthusiast, I tried Uyghur cuisine for the first time and liked it. The spices used in the food were different from what I normally use to cook, but it was nice. The hand-pulled noodles were chewy and tasty, and the recommended Cold Noodle was absolutely tasty! Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm glad I tried something new.Parking: It's inside Main Street Center and it has plenty of parking spaces.”
“We've been here twice and both times everything has been outstanding from the service to the food. Great for families and kids. Always a fun time. We will definitely be going back. For those that want sushi, they make it fresh and have a robot that brings it to your tables. Decent bar as well. Located minutes from George Mason University.”

Chef Yan
“Had a great authentic meal here! Food arrived quickly and service was friendly. Favorite dishes: Mashed pepper, preserved egg, and eggplant app was unique and refreshing. Stir fried beef (chef special) was cooked perfectly. Very tender beef Reservations: you might need a reservation if you go around 7pm. We went on a Sunday at 6pm, and were seated immediately. After 6:30 all the tables were filled. Fyi, your clothes will probably smell strongly of Sichuan peppercorns when you leave. So just beware.”
“Took my mom for lunch here and was amazed by how delicious the food was. Best Arroz con Mariscos she's had in 25 years!! The ceviche, jalea & leche de tigre were also top notch. 100% recommend, we've found our go-to peruvian spot in Fairfax!Great service, everyone was very nice!”
“This place has changed management, renovated the whole restaurant to a more rustic feel and upgraded everything from chairs to walls, to even better waiters.I gave it another try with my friends and was pleased by the all positive change.”

Dduk Dabang
“came with my few friends to eat at the hmart food court and we have no regrets!! we were to spend a day in DC but decided to eat local first.we ordered the Mala Tteokbokki with suspicions because mala is a very strong sichuan spice flavor. it was ~$22.00 total for the medium size. the mala tteokbokki came with 2 fried noodle dumplings, shredded green onions, grilled brisket, one egg, glass noodles, long rice cakes (that you can cut up with given scissors), fish cake, carrot, onion, and cabbage. this blew our mind since it was really not spicy at all!! there was definitely the infamous mala aftertaste but it made my mouth water for more HAHA. towards the end of the meal, the spice DID build up but not too much. it also depends on your spice tolerance and the three of us eat spicy food well.everything was cooked pretty well but the glass noodles were so-so. i cook these at home too when i'm craving homemade tteokbokki or ramen or home made hot pot, so i make them softer and chewier. the glass noodles were a bit harder to chew, but not too bad!! still very much enjoyed the meal :)) this is definitely my favorite now. i've tried the original, the black bean version, the rose, but mala beats them all. i recommend also ordering a side of fried assortments to dip and enjoy more or order [cheesy korean corn dog right across from this stand :)) service was very helpful and quick. the man that took our order was kind and patient and happens to also help run the korean corn dog spot too !”
“Amazing selection of European/Slavic food and snacks! I can get my favourite Russian chocolate here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I definitely will come back for more snacks soon!”
“I love smoothie king! It has great smoothies, smoothie bowls, cookies, and beef sticks! The smoothies are soo good! Do NOT DOOR DASH It!! It's like twice the price. It's like seven dollars to get a smoothie. It's like 30 dollars if you door dash it. Although that's not really smoothies kings fault. I give smoothie kind 5 and door dash 2.5”
“This restaurant is very decent and close by! The customer service and the delivery is superb. They have really good General Tso! However, their fried rice isn't the best. It could use some improvement.”

Hunan Cafe
“Hunan Cafe has good Chinese food that is quick and well priced compared to others in the area, it's super close for a pickup. I enjoy most of the entrees I get. The Lo Mein is tasty and the noodles are the right amount of chewy. This is definitely a take out place, it has tables if you want to eat in, but it's not set up for atmosphere. The staff is very attentive and positive, They have their own website and the prices are cheaper than using D**rD*ash so definitely check it out. This is my go to when I need low cost and fast Chinese food.Parking: The parking lot can get busy around lunch and dinner time but there is plenty of spots.”
“The food was excellent- fresh, delicious, beautiful, and well-portioned. Our favorite part was the "celebration" of different textures within the sushi rolls themselves. Definitely a new favorite date night spot!”
“If there were 6 stars, they would deserve it. Our bartender Ceno introduced himself and shook my hand, and it felt like we were old friends. He truly knows the lost art of hospitality. And the food and drinks were amazing. Will definitely come back and make sure Cebo is our bartender!”
“3/26/24 @ 8:45PMI brought a friend to dinner in town from Latin America for a late meal. We ordered food TO GO. While waiting, we visited the BAR & met Ameelia + Bobby. Both were gracious, helpful & suggested we visit BRIO for HH since they are new to the location & are trying to bring new regulars to the restaurant & make them feel special. They did just that for me. Keep up the good work Ameelia & Bobby. btw....my TO GO order was very quick & the food was delicious.2023Arrived for Happy Hour. Food & Drink was excellent. Service provided by Paul & Sam was marvelous.”
“I came at an odd hour a little bit after normal lunch hours like 2:00 p.m. and I ordered a steak and cheese it was pretty good for something that they're not really known for!”
“- the food here was actually very good, everything was fresh and had a nice flavor.- staff were pretty friendly, but the service wasn't that great. Came to take order and then when the food was served, she came back a few minutes later to ask about the food but didn't come back and ask for a drink refill or anything.- place was clean and organized.- prices are normal for the area.- parking can be hard to find sometimes.- overall not a horrible first experience at this location.”
“I found this place not far from my hotel. It's in a strip-mall. It looks like more of a takeout place. But, there are plenty of tables inside. There is an extensive menu. There are authentic dishes. They will probably make anything you want. I wanted chicken, bok choy, and rice. The woman behind the counter was very clever, funny, and nice. She recommended a simple salt, pepper, and garlic sauce. They cooked it very quickly. There was a lot of food. It was very tasty. I saw many things on the menu that I want to try. The woman recommended many other things to try. Good place!Vegetarian options: Plenty of options.”

Sports Spot
“While it was a bit awkward when we drove up and realized this place is inside a Whole Foods, I am glad we gave it a shot. We were looking for a place to get pizza and a beer while we watched a Sunday night football game. The good sized dining area was full of sports fans watching football on multiple screens. All the games were on. The draft beer section and our pizza were actually really good. We were very happy with our choice in beer and pizza. The crust was nice and chewy and very well made. Food and drinks are decently priced and we took half a pizza home for leftovers.”

Curry Mantra
“It was carry out but ambiance looked good for dine in as well. Pakora was good, fried momo was good, biryani was good as well and bread were well made so overall a very good place and would go again.”
“In Rio Grande Valley border towns, this South Texas chain is famous for its breakfast tacos with homemade tortillas. For maximum effect, go first thing in the morning when everything is fresh, order at the counter, and ask for your tacos con frijoles, papas (potato), y huevos (3 egg options were w/ chorizo, sausage and “a la Mexicana”). They’ll smear a spoonful of frijoles on the tortilla and then load it up with everything else. I’d also get salsa and pico de gallo, but on the side so it doesn’t get everything soggy. 2 tacos are enough for most people. They’re pretty big. I’d say the ones in the RGV are still on another level, but this is still doubtless the best breakfast tacos in NoVA, and I’m glad to have them when I’m craving something authentic. I was stunned when I realized this staple of my hometown had several locations here. They should probably limit their hours to early afternoon to focus on breakfast / lunch until they grow enough business out here. I think once it catches on, it’ll be yet another DC-area place with long lines.”

Red Lobster
“Kaylee was an excellent waitress. . I ordered the Louisiana fish and my wife got the endless shrimp with crab legs and we are both stuffed. I don’t even feel like driving my genesis home…”
“We recently needed a private room on short notice, and OH George’s worked out perfectly. We had about 35 people, kept heavy appetizers and a few meals coming. Drinks were filled immediately. We were very pleased and highly recommend the restaurant for larger gatherings.”
“The management and employees are amazing. It is always incredibly clean, especially the games. The food is surprisingly VERY good, the pizza is genuinely better than some of the actual pizza places around here. They are super handicap friendly. I would like to thank the young lady who held the gate open for my cousin in the wheelchair last night.”

“Twice Cooked Pork was amazing. The speed at which it was served was mind-blowing. The service was typical Asian fast food, terse and efficient. The dining area is actually pretty big and would easily handle a crowd.”
“Hunan Cafe has good Chinese food that is quick and well priced compared to others in the area, it's super close for a pickup. I enjoy most of the entrees I get. The Lo Mein is tasty and the noodles are the right amount of chewy. This is definitely a take out place, it has tables if you want to eat in, but it's not set up for atmosphere. The staff is very attentive and positive, They have their own website and the prices are cheaper than using D**rD*ash so definitely check it out. This is my go to when I need low cost and fast Chinese food.Parking: The parking lot can get busy around lunch and dinner time but there is plenty of spots.”
“If there were 6 stars, they would deserve it. Our bartender Ceno introduced himself and shook my hand, and it felt like we were old friends. He truly knows the lost art of hospitality. And the food and drinks were amazing. Will definitely come back and make sure Cebo is our bartender!”
“Okay the one star reviews are tripping not gonna lie, this pizza has such a unique flavor with a crispy exterior. Also the lady is so wholesome. Eating here is like going back home from college to your family and being treated to a big hot meal.”
“Seems to be a mom / pop shop located in a corporate building. We had the Royal chicken pining quit tasty. The avocado egg sandwich was quite large with 2 eggs. Mango pineapple smoothie was good as well”
“If you are in the Fairfax area, Bebop is a must-try. I really like their selections of bulgogi burgers, the bulgogi rice bowl with purple rice, and the ambience of the restaurant, which is decorated with old music albums. Friendly service. I would also recommend trying out their turkey bacon topping on their burger.Overall, this is a great place if you are looking to try an unique type of burger, and if you are a fan of bulgogi like I am.Dietary restrictions: Turkey bacon instead of pork bacon. Can accommodate with some of the toppings, but definitely ask the server.Parking: It is in a shopping center right by Party City.”
“We were just there last weekend, and our family has been going to brunch there for many years. We usually have an omelet with home fries and toast or waffles deluxe with eggs, sausage or bacon and have never been disappointed. And note that the homemade baklava and the tiramisu are delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, we are usually waited on quickly and the staff is friendly, warm and responsive.”
“My hubby been craving for Xinjiang Uyghur cruise for a long time. Their Housemade Lahman was so delicious. I will definitely go back for more. Their price aren't that expensive either.”
“Seriously Hayley’s a an OG at this. I have watery eyes and some of my eyelashes are straight or go down. And each time I’ve gotten them done elsewhere they usually start looking wonky right after . Not Hayley lol seriously … She makes them flawless every time. She has light hands and fast and her staff too is awesome. Ive been to a couple places and seriously no one compares to her. Listen to her and she will give you advice but also give you want you want.”
“Place is very friendly helpful and cooperative. I am glad that Diosis took her time to explain what are the ingredients. Someone like Diosis is what I expect to find anywhere I go to eat. Thank you ”
“This restaurant has a comfortable seating area with a relaxed atmosphere and serves fusion-style dishes, some with an Asian flair that is truly comforting. Last time, we tried the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which had a hint of sesame soy sauce and crunchiness from the lettuce, making it the perfect appetizer. The Fettuccine Alfredo with parmesan cream sauce was good, and the Sweet and Spicy Ribs were sweet and tasty, with a kick from the Korean Gochugaru sauce. We enjoyed all aspects of the restaurant, including the decent service.”

“Banditos Tacos and Tequila was definitely a pleasant surprise. Despite it being a busy Friday night and not having a reservation, there was no wait for great booth seating - and the music was great.The Hamburger Nachos were scrumptious and were definitely shareable — the portion size was huge!! I went with the Quesadilla Marina for my main course & devoured it!! The Old Bay seasoned shrimp and cilantro claw were THE perfect combo with the Chihuahua cheese ?Our server was super duper attentive and checked in often to make sure we had enough water and also weren’t waiting to order anything else.”
“My husband an I have had two delightful lunches at the Merrifield Matchbox. The atmosphere and food are great, but the highlight of our visit was our server, Lena. Not only was she terrific at her job, her personality was so stellar, she made us feel like we were family. On our first visit, we recommended a movie we had just seen, and when we returned to Matchbox over a month later, she remembered us and had seen the movie! Lena's cheerful, efficient service made all the difference. If you go the Merrifield Matchbox, ask for Lena!”
“I tried the organic bison chorizo and eggs this morning. Two poached eggs, some nice chips on the side and a nice (not spicy at all) chorizo. Well done! Oh coffee too!”
“Went to Dave and Busters with a group of friends and we had the best time! The staff was super friendly and the managerial staff was super welcoming, answering any questions we had. Will definitely be coming back!”
“This is a great affordable option for Chinese food in the area! The space is bright and relatively open, the staff is kind and very efficient, and the food came out very quickly. While it is great for the price point, the food wasn't very memorable. The yibin spicy dry noodles were packed with flavor but a tad oily, so the cucumber side dish we got was a great pairing. There aren't too many veggie options just as an FYI! The pork soup dumplings were good but nothing spectacular. They weren't very hot when they came out, and they didn't have too much soup in them.”
“If you're looking for a restaurant that offers delicious food, great drinks, and outstanding service, look no further than Uncle Julio’s. It's a culinary journey that will leave you craving more. We can't wait to return and explore more of their enticing menu!”
“The best people ever we had the last iftar here at this place and I regretted I did not discover this place earlier! With all the global crisis helping a local business is a duty! I promise I will come by more often”
“The staff and food are incredible. Will, the bartender came to greet my son after remembering his last visit (even gave us a little lesson on his grenadine recipe).”
“Loved our first visit. A wonderful selection of bourbon, scotch, and numerous other liqours.Our group of six enjoyed a little of everything, from a whiskey sour and a painkiller mixed drink, to bourbon and several scotches straight up and on the rocks.Our bartender was amazing. And a wealth of knowledge.We didn't get food.But we will when we go back.Because...we're going back.And if you haven't yet been. You should.”
“Freddy's is often compared to In-N-Out for its similar focus on burgers, but with its own unique twist. Their thin, crispy fries and custard shakes are also popular. Freddy's typically earns praise for its fresh ingredients and classic American flavors. However, some might find the menu slightly limited compared to In-N-Out. Overall, if you're looking for a tasty burger spot reminiscent of In-N-Out, Freddy's is definitely worth a try.”
“Excellent service! The new owner introduced himself and shared new additions that were coming to the menu. He was wonderful, and so was the food. Will be back in the future!”
“I've driven past PJ Skidoos multiple times, and have always wanted to stop in. I'm happy I did. Inside you're greeted by a friendly hostess who walks you through a beautiful, dark wood, dining room. The walls are covered with relics from the past. We ordered finger foods: chicken fingers, and potato skins. Both were outstanding. Lastly, I ordered the French Onion (I try them wherever I go). Overall the FO Soup was good, it had the perfect amount of cheese and wasn't overwhelming with onions. My only suggestion would be a pinch more salt in the broth. Side note* I would have ordered an Old Fashion if the bar had ice molds (Large Ice Cube). I'm not sure why bars don't carry the silicone molds to make them. All that being said, I'll be back, and I'll bring friends.”
“Got some traditional wings & boneless ones too tried different flavors - Asian zing(sweet), thai curry (favorite), buffalo, mango habanero, Nashville hot(super spicy), some potato wedges, loaded tats and strawberry margarita. Everything was decent.”
“Absolutely 5-?place. Why? (1) They are genuinely hospitable and you will feel their positive vibes as soon as they start greeting you. (2) The place is very clean, well-maintained, and organized, with good distance between tables. I like their booths better?. (3) They serve authentic and VERY delicious Afghan dishes. Kabobs are soft and juicy. Shrimps are crazy delicious and soft (never chewy). Ghabeli-polow is the best! (4) Their quality of service and dishes are consistently great. (5) Their price is competitively low for such large portions.Highly recommended!”
“It has been a while since I last visited this location, but I can always rely on their flavorful and robust coffee, which makes it consistently perfect. The excellent service and the place's always well-maintained and tidy make it an ideal location to relax, sip coffee, or watch the surroundings through its window while I enjoy my coffee.”
“Antonio greeted us promptly and Mike served and helped us quickly. Drinks were well made and conversation was great. It made date night fun. Amazing bartenders. Will definitely come back and make the trip from Maryland for more drinks!”
