“I came to Arlington for a business trip from Atlanta. I've been to the Ballston Food Court several times since I visit frequently. First time at Hal & Als and I ordered the brisket sandwich. the cashier who I assume is the owner was telling me about who he learned to make ribs from down in Atlanta. he was so hospitable too. he asked me to let him know what I thought. I completely forgot. everything was great. halal BBQ is a little different but it blew me away. I'll def revisit when I'm in Arlington again.“

“Karen was an awesome server and the food was delicious. A+!“

“Old Blue catered my daughters wedding. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Old Blue has the best BBQ food in the greater DC area - so, that would be enough to recommend them - however, if you are planning an event, you will not believe the quality of the service they offer. Everyone was helpful, had great suggestions, they even shared decorations with us. The day of the wedding was also perfect - they were attentive and seemed to anticipate every need. Again, they would be worth it just for the food, but they perfect because of everything else.“

“Sloppy Mama’s catered an event for me and everyone talked about how delicious the food was. Several guests said they will be visiting the restaurant soon!“

“We are from Buffalo NY down here on vacation. The host was absolutely amazing we sat at a high top by the bar and he came over and offered to move us to a bigger table so we had more room!! The bartender was our server and he was so attentive and on top of everything. They had a large school party that had about 50 people in it and they did not let that slow them down at all. At the end of that party we ended up speaking with one of the owners and he was so nice! We ended up finding out the host had family from where we are from and that was awesome! The food was amazing, portions were huge! Moral of the story the whole staff was amazing the food came out with perfect timing even with the huge party. Pricing, food, friendliness all worth it here they were amazing“

“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!“

“Really good and different! Had the short-rib pastrami and it was fantastic!! Great taste, perfect texture, and the mustard sauce was the perfect compliment. Their house pickled veggies added a really nice touch. The deviled eggs are not to be missed! Smoky, but not overbearingly so. The wife had the pastrami spiced portobello and was very impressed. Guys in the truck were super nice and very patient. They were out front of Baby Cat brewery in Kensington the day we went by. Will be keeping track of where they're going to be - will definitely return!!“

“Has a great time. Had a party of ten and were seated immediately. The servers and host were so nice. Coming from Florida, they made us feel at home. Food was delicious!!“

“the ribs had that fresh out the smoke test.this was the first time I have had their food👍👍👍. My friends were impressed too.“

“Went today. The Food: Impressive and inexpensive beef rib. Best value I've seen for a while. Thick Brisket, very good. Sausage was impressive as well. Sweet sauce was great. Not a fan of the thin brisket, more like sliced beef. Service was excellent and nice guy from Philly made sure I left happy. Inside was cool, like real Texas places.“

“I went there today for a nice lunch date and I requested to get all the food gluten free. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about what was gluten free on the menu and made sure to bring out the salads and explain which one was which. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the pargiyot skewer but was not personally a fan of the lam kebab flavor. When the waiter came over and asked how everything was, I told him everything was great. He saw I had not eaten the lamb and asked me about it. Im not a complainer so I said it just wasn’t my taste. Well, when we brought us the check, he only charged us for the pargiyot and comped the lamb! I am blown away by my experience at Al Ha’esh. Excellent customer service and food! 👍“

“We ate here for one of our Friday night family dinners. Loved that there were already a few dishes on the table - salad, spicy, pickled radish, japchae, kimchi and regular radish. Then one person delivered water for the table. We all ordered the Puzukan special. I ordered the herb pork belly and pork galbi. My oldest ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and ribs. Hubby ordered a thick pork belly (unsure of the name) and regular beef bulgogi. Youngest ordered brisket and spicy beef bulgogi. I love that they cook for you. The young lady who assisted us was wonderful. My daughters also ordered a fruit drink that was quite tasty. The other waiters delivered the accompanying banchan which were pretty good. The meat was hit or miss. My youngest loved both her choices. My oldest didn't like her ribs because they were sweet but enjoyed the spicy pork. Hubby's thick pork belly was completely flavorless even with the sauces. There was no helping it. But his bulgogi was good. My herb pork was decent but the galbi was freaking amazing. We also ordered the cheesecake mango bingsu which was honestly the highlight of the night. Overall we give this place a 4.“

“What an INCREDIBLE time out!! We just stopped by after a wedding & wanted to try this place after meaning to for quite some time. The service was AMAZING. We had a couple mix ups on our order, but they helped us out and was very apologetic. I also mixed up my information as well, but they were very kind to us. What an incredible experience with their knowledgeable bartenders. Quite amazing mixologists, well worth a trip for the conversations and atmosphere alone!!! Thank you for a memorable time.“

“The Dominican food here is excellent! It made me feel right at home, and the attentive service from the staff truly reflects the Caribbean customer service I’ve come to expect. Thank you so much!

Very convenient if you are in the Holy cross or just around here.“

“Yay yay yay!! I'm so excited LnL is in Rockville!!! Being from California, I was sad when the closest LnL was in Virginia but now there's one next to home. I'm so happy. If you haven't had Hawaiian food, try it and get hooked. 🤙“

“We’ve eaten at The Falls for both date nights and family outings and were extremely impressed every time. I was excited to hear they also do catering! We called The Falls, spoke to Kelly and she was super helpful, communicative and helped with everything from how much food would be appropriate for our size event and how many staff would be recommended. We had our annual Santa party with 190 people and everyone was super impressed with the food quality, the attentive staff and how friendly and courteous they were. They left my house cleaner than before the party and even boxed up some left overs for us to enjoy. They’re a true blessing and made our party one we’ll remember for years! Thank You- to Kelly and Mark and the entire Falls crew!“

“Don't miss this place!!! You blink and you could drive right by it and that would be a loss. All the food was so yummy and tasted freshly made. The meats weren't greasy or tough. Moist, seasoned perfectly, and came to our table quickly so it all was hot. The loaded fries weren't soggy or to heavy. Great sides. Overall we'd come again.“

“Good pulled chicken and cake but bring back chicken tenders please“

“The malatang here is seriously one of the best I’ve had! The broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy, and all the ingredients taste super fresh.

“I had the brisket, ribs, baked beans and cole slaw. The brisket practically melts and was so delicious. The ribs were great too. Tried several of the sauces. I like the mustard & the origins sauce best. Meal was big enough to ask for a doggie bag to finish it later on.“

“We used the BBQ Bus for a work event this past week and they did a great job! The food was hot, fresh and came out fast.They have been a pleasure to work with from the start of planning this event.

“I've been going to Mad For Grill for years, before it was mad for grill and called Nak Won. Not sure if the owners changed but the food is still delicious. Of all the options in Annandale, especially when there are AYCE options, the reason why I choose this place are -

The seafood pancake and cold noodles are the best here. And the kimchi is also very very good. Although it is not the cheapest option, in terms of taste, I tent to lean towards Mad For Grill.“

“We stopped for lunch yesterday after leaving the zoo. The aroma when we opened the door hooked us from the start. Our waiter, Courtland, was amazing and took excellent care of us. His recommendations were spot on. The food came out hot, fast and delicious. I have no idea when I’ll be back in DC again, but I know where I’ll want to eat when I am.“
