We went there with high hopes. Good thing first- their service is really good. Liked their atmosphere as well. The cute bartender was the best. We found a hair outside of the glass but they replaced it when we pointed out.the non alcoholic drinks were great. We took BKk and beat the heat. Loved them both.
The appetizers were good. Loved the crab Rangoon. Didn't like spring rolls and the fried calamari didn't tasted fresh but the dip that came with calamari was good.
We ordered beef rendang and crispy duck. Oh boy. The food was way to salty to eat. We couldn't eat it at all due to salt. Also didn't bother to take it home because we would not be able to eat.

The closest I’ve come to eat authentic South Asian food in Nova.. hands down the best mee goreng! The Thai food is also on the money. The service is warm, friendly and very enthusiastic, and the decor is outstanding, all in all a fantastic place to go, will keep coming.

Very nice outside sitting, we did not dine inside as the weather was nice. Pricing is on the high end for the portion served. Fried okra, was just that! No breading just super oily quick fry. We also had desert but wouldn't have paid this much elsewhere. Overall chic atmosphere but not budget or portion friendly. I unfortunately did not get a picture of our meals, just the deserts.

Great food, and a beautiful place! I got the roti canai, pad Thai, and salmon. The roti was delicious! For vegetarian food, it is all clearly marked as well!

The food was amazing and highly diverse. I didn’t except it to be that fresh and tasty. It was really tasty. The service was great and friendly too. They also have Halal chicken and beef which is a bonus point. For sure coming back again to try other plates. Happy costumer!

An absolutely top tier dining experience! My wife, baby, and I stopped in for an early dinner and from the moment we walked in to the end of our meal, the service, food, and atmosphere were all impeccable. The hostess set a place for our baby with a silicone plate and child utensils, which we've never seen at a restaurant before. All of the food we ordered was amazing. The Hainanese chicken rice was a highlight, I haven't had this dish done this well since the last time I was in Singapore. Gina, our server, was incredibly attentive and did a phenomenal job, ensuring we had everything we needed and giving fantastic recommendations for dishes to try. We will definitely be returning to try more of the extensive menu!

Came here with the family for my sister’s birthday and we were very happy with our experience. All of the food our server, Gina recommended was delicious and she was on point the whole time. We got the salmon ceviche, duck rolls, Singapore noodles, crispy pork belly and char siu, and the crispy duck pad kapow. It was all incredible. Gina even brought out a little dessert for the birthday girl with a candle, so sweet. Highly recommend this place, we WILL be back.

Amazing restaurant for Malaysian food ik the DMV! Our Malaysian friend found it and confirmed that the food was pretty authentic and great quality. He especially complimented the dessert consisting of the 4 small medallion jellies with various fillings.
I ordered the chicken Khao soi and the pandan crème brûlée. Both were phenomenal! The chicken was soft and tender, the curry was rich and flavorful, and I loved that the spices were served on the side so you can choose how spicy to make it. The atmosphere is also lovely and not too noisy.

I don't know what oil they use to cook but everything had an odd country aftertaste ... I don't mind coconut but I don't want it on my spring rolls or in every dish... The cashew chicken also has an odd aftertaste and too much breading/batter/fat versus white meat. Still searching for a good reliable Thai around Fairfax 🥺

Southeast Impression delivers a warm, unique and welcoming atmosphere with attentive service that makes you feel right at home. The menu offers an impressive variety of flavorful Southeast Asian dishes, each presented with care and packed with vibrant, authentic tastes. Nearly every bite was memorable.
The only slight letdown was the pineapple fried rice—it looked great but lacked the bold flavors found in the rest of the meal. I was expecting a touch of sweet and got more a flat smoky flavor. That said, everything else more than made up for it, and I’d happily return to explore more of the menu!
