“I had an incredible dining experience at Brazza Steaks, the Venezuelan restaurant. Everything about this place was amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at home. Carlos, the owner, took the time to sit down and chat with us. His passion for the food and his friendliness made the experience even more special. The server was awesome, offering fantastic recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with authentic Venezuelan flavors. I can't recommend Brazza Steaks enough; it's a must-visit for anyone looking for a delightful meal for a great price!“

“The food is amazing! I drive about 15 miles to get their bbq, and the sides are fantastic too! The smoked sausage, brisket, pulled pork and chicken are all great. My fave is the (burnt) beef ends. Now my mouth is watering, time for a drive! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“I made a delivery for work there and got the pulled barbecue sandwich. I say it was very delicious, I recommend it.“

“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!“

“If you’re looking for casual dining in a unique ambiance and appointed outdoor courtyard/cafe setting, then Pikoteo is your place. With fine food that stretches across the Caribbean, Latin America spectrum of flavors, to sooth your palette, and a friendly staff. The Owner is very hospitable, and can typically be found greeting and meeting with diners, and making them feel welcomed If you are a fan of hot sauces, check out the variety of bottled sauces from Honduras, with a unique variety of spices. My favorite is a chocolate infused hot sauce.“

“The BBQ is the best ever! I had the beef brisket and the chicken! I plan on trying the pork next time. The sides are DELICIOUS!“

“Food was amazing 🤩 if you love steak 🥩 you must come here!!! We will be back soon for round two 🤣“

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!“

“This place was recommended by a friend who lives and breathes KBBQs, this was my actual first one and have stuck to it since, Richard was our server, he made our experience the best and was helpful with understanding things, unfortunately he no longer works there but Ashley the lady from the bar takes care of us now, I recommend their lemonades they have like 3 different flavors, anyways I love love love coming here their brisket, pork belly and everything is to die for ESPECIALLY the teriyaki sauce to dip your meats in ;) , there is no other place that I will eat KBBQ's at unless I moved far away so come on over and spend that money because they need to stay in business until the day I die.“

“The best of the best and I’m a chef !!!!!! Will be back many many times . Thanks for the great service and even better food !!!!“

“Amazing experience, had a issue with food i believed was under cooked manager came took the food back they recooked a completely new entre and offered a 2nd meal while waiting for the new one. Received the check and they subtracted the complete meal without me asking. Very respectful and friendly. 5☆“

“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!“

“If I could give this place six stars, I would! From the moment we stepped through the doors, the warm aroma of sizzling meats and their pepper and salt combo whispered, “You’re about to have the meal of your life.” And boy, was that promise fulfilled. The service? Impeccable. Our server was like a culinary ninja—silent and swift, yet somehow always there exactly when we needed a refill on kimchi or a tip on the perfect grill timing for our food. The food? Chef’s kiss. The beef was so tender it felt like it had signed a peace treaty with my taste buds. The spicy chicken had just the right kick, and the bulgogi? Let’s just say they made me question every other Korean BBQ I’ve ever eaten. Even the side dishes were star players—if I could bottle up their pasta salad, I’d start a black-market operation. What truly made the night unforgettable, though, was the sense of community around the table. Sharing the grill, laughing over who burned their tongue on the first piece (it was me), and fighting for the last fries brought us all closer. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience that fed both the stomach and the soul. Also, a warning: You will smell like glorious BBQ for hours afterward. But honestly, that just makes you the envy of everyone within a 10-foot radius. To sum it up, this place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s therapy, comedy, and a love letter to your taste buds all rolled into one. Go. Thank me later. (But seriously, don’t touch the bulgogi before it’s ready. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.)“

“Two days ago we had the 1/3/2022 mini blizzard here in nova. I had started my new job just down the street from their location so decided to order curb side pickup from online. Well, when I finally go outside and start driving I see how bad the weather is and get to RHB but it looks closed. I pull in and promptly get stuck at the entryway. I finally make it and get my car out of the unplowed lot and decide i best go back to my new job hungry. I had no food, it was birthday and I was pretty sure after encountering the weather I may be stranded at this job over night. So, I drive back to my office and get stuck right at the entryway of the parking lot! Then the restaurant manager from RHB calls me about my order and I explain what happened and my current situation . He says just drive down the street and he will bring it out to me And I explain im stuck again but ill try! So 15 mins later im stuck in the same spot and a random gentleman in a truck stops and offers to plow me out which was no easy task but he does it anyways and then RASHEED RHB calls me again and i explain my dilemma snd says ill bring it to you send the address. Im like omg thank you! What are you arrives at my office I offered a Tip snd he says no but I explained that I had been stuck in the snow twice and that it’s my birthday and I might be stranded here thank you so much. He wished me a happy birthday and I told him that let me do something so I’m writing this review. Go see Rashid at the red hot and blue and Fairfax one of the nicest guys!“

“We just celebrated my husband's birthday here and it was an excellent night. Our server Emily went above on beyond to take care of us. We had children with us and she was so accommodating to our group! The food was delicious but what blew me away was the incredible service! Thanks Breakers! We'll definitely be back!“

“My wife and I came here for lunch and we thought it was very delicious.

I got kimchi fried rice bowl with salt and pepper steak. My wife got the rice bowl with bulgogi. We shared their cup tteok-bok-ki.

Think Korean chipotle, so many good options, I think this place warrants multiple visits to try different combinations.“

“Modern day CHEERS! BEST bar in the DMV! AMAZING PLACE! GREAT vibe/bands/staff/food/bar/service, and the most warm and welcoming staff and "regulars"! Remember the show "CHEERS"? Rename it Pete's! "Where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came." Just add terrific live music, great acoustics, and the best dance floor around! Truly impressive across the board - friendly, welcoming and FUN. Pete, Kelly and their team are true professionals; they love their work and make sure everyone feels welcome. Pete personally goes from table to table - when he's not joining the band/playing guitar! Kelly is wonderful, kind, warm, and consistently books the BEST bands around. Bartender Bo is indeed "super cool" and funny. Servers Mario and Andrea are helpful, attentive, efficient, and keep everyone very well-fed. Chef Pete (different one) regularly impresses with tasty appetizers, entrees, salads (Greek is a fave), desserts, and more. More than worth a visit - keep going back! I'm proud to be a regular (OK - groupie/super-fan) and my nights at Pete's are true weekend highlights. Thanks to everyone at Pete's for providing night after night of great food, music, and community! I've made some lifelong friends and would recommend Pete's to anyone wanting a fun night out with great people.“

“Nice place! Food was great and friendly service.“

“This happened a month ago.
I went to your restaurant last month with some friends who visited me from Italy and they were very satisfied and happy with such a pleasant experience, the food was delicious and the service excellent.
Thank you all.“

“Must Try place with unique flavors BBQ, bowls,Burritos,Taco's, Korean flavor Burgers are amazing must try Bulgogi Fries“

“I'm checking in once a week hahaha a great malatang kwabarou restaurant! The most delicious malatang I had in the DMV area. This time, Kwao Barou also came out and became my favorite malatang restaurant. The owner is so friendly that it's always nice every time I go. Because I can add whatever toppings I want?

Parking: Since it's inside a supermarket, the parking lot is really spacious.“

“Good place to go for KFC (Korean fried chicken) pub night. The wings were crispy and they offered a lot of flavors I haven't seen from other KFC places. We got a huge serving of edamame, and the fried dumplings were crispy and flavorful. I tried the black and white cocktail, which is whiskey and rice wine, and the combination reminded me a lot of mezcal with that tobacco-y flavor profile. I recommend the yuzu highball, which is perfect for a palate cleanser after eating sticky crispy wings. The restaurant itself is clean and modern looking, and I got a chuckle out of the restroom signs. Service was really great and made sure we had everything we needed.“

“Amazing Find! Outstanding world class BBQ prepared by an outstanding owner on site crew If they were a food truck in DC they would be the NUMBERONE GO TO DESTINATION! THIS PLACE IS A MUST GO FOR ANYONE LOOKING FORWORLD CLASS BBQ! They are a diamond on the road to Damascus MD To travel soccer families driving here fromVirginia this is a #Huge Plus for dinner to go! 5 STARS YES///If this BBQ was on AMERICAS GOT TALENT,it would get the GOLDEN BUZZER to Hollywood! TRY IT FOR YOURSELF...... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED!“

“The service was excellent. I like the special treat in the end. Glad we decided to go here.“

“You should try eat in here. The foods are excellent and professional to service.I really love eat in here.“

“Good food and excellent service.“

“Absolutely love Qui, it’s my number one kbbq spot but they’ve definitely lost a star after switching out their sauce (the Gochujang type one). If you’re gona switch out a sauce I think it should atleast taste similar or be the same consistency. This one is grainy and doesn’t even taste good. Definitely took away from the experience. It also looks like tomato sauce. Other than that, my experience there is always amazing. Pls switch back the sauce lol“

“Absolutely the most delicious Ox Tail Stew!!! Honestly everything on the menu is awesome. 5 🌟 peeps.“

“20240701 I ordered the D5 Bulgogi Dolsot Bibimbap. It arrived sizzling hot in a crackpot. It stayed really hot for a long time. It was delicious! Definitely tasted even better with the red sweet and spicy sauce. I actually like being left alone when I'm eating, and if I need something, I will get the attention of the server. After the waiter dropped my food off, I never saw anyone again until I was getting ready to leave. It's good for me, but it might not be for another customer. The prices are a bit high, but that's everything and everywhere with Bidenomics ?. I would come back here again.“

“Have eaten here before and most recently came on a Saturday for early lunch. Pictured is A6 (spicy Ramen) and gyoza. The ramen was a very large volume for one person and had many vegetables, good flavor. Gyoza was standard. Overall, a good meal but on the pricier side for the food options in NOVA. The restaurant is one of many in the dining hall and is one we frequent out of convenience. Make sure to bring your trays and dishes back to the restaurant you order from!“

“Great food and hospitality can’t wait to come back! Food was piping hot and complimentary condiments were delicious! My fish was perfectly cooked!“

“5 Stars

Mad for Grill, a Korean restaurant in Annandale, VA, is a spot that will keep you coming back. The “조기구이정식“, Grilled Yellow Croaker Set) is exceptional—perfectly grilled with deep, rich flavors. The side dishes (banchan) are like little appetizers, and the Kimchi is hands down the best I’ve ever had in any restaurant—fresh, flavorful, and incredibly special. It’s a taste that’s sure to impress, especially for those new to Korean cuisine. Plus, the convenient location makes it an easy choice. If you’re after authentic Korean food, Mad for Grill is a must-visit!“

“We had such a great experience working with this team! Just look at all the awards they have won and there is a reason why. They are prideful in their work, attend to detail, keep you informed, and are pleasant to work with from quotation to event! I would do it all over again and pick them each time! I love going family business and local and this checked those boxes for me! Thank you Helga’s for the memorable night and cherished memories. You helped make it al possible!“

“We had a delicious meal tonight. The Bibimbap was very good! The service was great too. We’ll definitely come back!“

“I love this food!! I always come back to enjoy the the food and service….. Excelente servicio y riquísima comida!! Siempre Regresaré me encanta su comida y servicio!!!“

“We love this place. My favorite place for Korean BBQ. You must try. Small place but they serve good Korean food and service. I always have bbq and dongdongju for drinks. Korean pancake is great too. BBQ set it serve with steamed egg and kimchi soup plus a lot of side dishes.“

“My recent visit to Sari Filipino Kusina with my son was nothing short of a delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere drew us in. The restaurant combines modern decor with touches of Filipino culture, creating a setting that’s both stylish and cozy.

The food is the real highlight. We started with lumpiang shanghai, which was perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, a promising start to our meal. I went for the adobo, which was tender, rich, and savory, while my son chose the sinigang, a soup that had just the right balance of tanginess and warmth. The lechon kawali we shared was incredibly crispy outside, with melt-in-your-mouth tenderness inside—a true treat.

Dessert was a shared halo-halo, and it was fantastic. It’s a layered, colorful mix of flavors and textures that ended the meal on a refreshing note.

Sari Filipino Kusina is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Filipino flavors or wants to try something new. Our meal here was not just food—it was a shared experience that we’ll remember fondly. Highly recommended!“
