“We enjoyed brunch here for our anniversary. I have several food allergies and I was well accommodated. The food was wonderful and the service friendly. We will be back”
“We've dined at Patsy's American on several occasions and consistently appreciate the quality, service and atmosphere.”
“Literally some of the best steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. And I’m very picky about my steaks”
“Food excellent in quality, preparation, textures, flavors and presentation. The jarring and omnipresent noise (which also bounces) renders the fore-described qualities frustratingly moot - almost. I would dearly love to recommend as well as return and bring friends along but will have to forewarn them as well as brace myself.”
“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.”

The chicken had amazing flavor with the perfect crunch. I honestly ate everything 😂💯 Customer service was great and the food came out hot and fast. I can see why everybody talks about this place now.

“The food was great. However, the pleasant young man who took our order messed it up. We asked for add-ons to our main order, but he gave us a whole different order, which cost us a lot. My friend was incensed, but we let it go because we didn't want to hold up the customers behind us and the young man may have been new at his job.”
“Doesn't disappoint from walking in to finished meal. Classic Italian, top notch service, worth every dollar spent.”

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup”
“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.”
“Great thin crust pizza. The fried artichokes and salads are very good too. My favorite pizza has Gorgonzola. My family has been going there for several years.”
“Looking for authentic Thai cuisine in Vienna? 🇹🇭🍛 Look no further than Thai Mom! They use fresh ingredients and strike the perfect balance of flavor and spice. If you're craving real Thai food that feels like a home-cooked meal, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! 🌶️✨”
“This is a great venue. I love seeing the century old pre power tool construction techniques (and without nails or screws!), and every seat is close to the stage. There are only a few seats in the balcony where the view is partially blocked by support columns.”
“We had the most wonderful dinner tonight celebrating a birthday. Quan Tran was amazing! The food was so good and he was so fun!”

“We’ve consistently had a great experience at this McDonald’s. The managers, no matter who is on duty, are always professional, customer-oriented, and go out of their way to be accommodating. The service is consistently friendly and efficient, and the food is always fresh and well-prepared. It’s clear that the team here takes pride in maintaining a high standard, and it makes a real difference as a customer.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I’ve been coming to this location pretty much every weekend for the last 3 years and realized I’ve never actually left a review! They have another location that is bigger than this one, but honestly, this one is the better spot for food, service, and the overall vibe. I actually live closer to the Falls Church location but still make the drive here because the staff are always super friendly and the experience is consistently good. On Fridays and Saturday, it can get a little busy a hectic but the wait usually isn’t too bad, maybe around like 10–15 minutes. My order has always come out right and the food tastes fresh and delicious every time I’ve been here.
The place itself is clean, condiments are always stocked, and there’s a really nice mural on the wall that gives it a cozy feel. Nice music playing most of the time I come and seating is a little tight but it’s comfortable. Every time I come in,I’m greeted right away and the staff have been the same since I first started coming so they know what they’re doing. If there ever is an issue, they’re quick to fix it. If you have any allergies or food restrictions, they are pretty accommodating to requests so that is something to consider.
Overall, this has been one of my go-to spots for Greek food for years! Consistently good food, good prices, and really great service.”
“This place is amazing. Smoothies taste so good. AND they deliver for parties and functions! My school administration and PTSA (I'm a teacher) has ordered single serve (kid sized) for every teacher for teacher appreciation events, or faculty meetings. They deliver in a giant cooler and pick up after. It's a big hit with all of us!”
“This hidden gem needs to be FOUND by everyone! Met one of the owners, Mark, in Pazzo Pomodoro recently who told me about Nozzo Pazzo. I have since fallen in love with their sandwiches the Bugs Bunny and the Green Arrow wraps (vegan) which I return to get regularly. Then found out they also do breakfast! After Mark described how they make the French toast, I couldn’t stop thinking about it! I had it this morning, and believe me it is melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The place is so beautifully set up, and the tunes playing over the speakers were equally awesome! An absolute must try!”
“We've enjoyed team lunches here and have constantly been impressed by the authentic flavors. A great spot for a quick, satisfying meal near the office.”
“Delicious lunch on the outdoor patio. Scotch eggs, pies, pints all exceptional!”
“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore.

I recommend the place if u didnt tried it u have something wrong in ur life :D�� one more thing after u put all your toping end it with Lemon tahini dressing yummy yummy no regretting”
“I found this restaurant, just a couple of blocks from my hotel. It was absolutely packed during lunchtime. I ordered the Canh chua (Vietnamese, sweet and sour) soup with shrimp. It was amazing. It’s very hard to find this soup in Vietnamese restaurants so when I do, I always order it. I saw the other dishes coming out - pho and fresh spring rolls - and it all looked great. I also had the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was fantastic. The servers were very busy, but also attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant!”
“This was my second visit - had to try it based on reviews in FB Vienna Foodies group.
First time I ordered inside, and got the Social Burger and fries, both of which were great. This time I ordered from the app, and got a custom turkey burger, which was also excellent.
I'm in Vienna regularly these days and expect to be at Social Burger regularly as well.”
“This was my first time here, and I really enjoyed it. The cappuccino was delicious, and I’ll definitely be back to try a different drink next time. The place was very clean, and you can tell they take pride in keeping everything well maintained. Great first impression!”
“The staff here is truly incredible! I accidentally placed an order for the wrong day, but they were so understanding and got eight pizzas and appetizers made for me in 20 minutes, and helped me get it all to my car. Outstanding, outstanding service all around, will definitely be ordering here again (on the correct day this time)!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I have always had great experiences at Bear Branch Tavern, but today I had Ash and Maria as my server and bartender. They were fantastic. I could not recommend them enough. Every time I go back I am going to try and get Ash as my server. 10/10 experience, 10/10 food. Will definitely be back.”
“As we're lucky to have so many authentic and diverse restaurants in Northern Virginia, we decided to give Chef Tan a try.
I'd say it's a solid choice if you're nearby or looking for authentic Chinese food in Vienna. While it's not the best Chinese food I've ever had, every dish we ordered was good and the overall meal was enjoyable.
That said, with so many great Chinese restaurants closer to where I live, I probably wouldn't drive all the way to Vienna to have Chef Tan unless I happened to be in the area and is craving Chinese food.”
“Would highly recommend this place. Amazing customer service and amazing food quality. The parking across the street 2 hour free is super confusing. if you don’t press a button your car gets towed and the instructions to press that button are hidden it’s like they want you to get towed. Our car got towed and had to pay $210. The manager of this store was kind enough to take us in his car and drive us to the place the car was parked. Overall Would recommend this place over and over again.”
“Best Cashew Chicken in Northern Virginia!!
We have been going to Natta Thai for years and their cashew chicken is my comfort food, one of my favorite birthday dinners and just all around best meals. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is amazing, no other cashew chicken comes close!
The Satay chicken is also incredibly good and they give you great portions. I always get at least 2 meals out of the cashew chicken.”

“Taco Bamba was playing some rocking music when we ordered our Tacos on a great fall day. The portions are reasonable and not huge. Flavor instead of large size, with several tasty dressings you choose yourself, after preparation. The quesadillas with carne asada were packed with flavor and quality sear.”
“Had read some mixed reviews but we gave it a shot and we were greatly impressed! We called ahead for our party of 10 and they had our reservations ready and accommodated us nicely. The service was excellent and the food was fantastic. Our party ranged from age 14 to 55, some loved Thai and some had never tried it. There was something for everyone to enjoy on the menu. Plus, it was very reasonably priced. We had a large party and it didn't break the bank, as they say. Great food and comradery was had by all! I don't normally write reviews, but again, I was impressed. Definitely recommend!”

She deft is a hard worker and I'm so glad she is working there.. last time I eat there was in May and I wasn't happy with the customer service but I'm gonna tell you y'all need to keep her there I hope she is a manager if not she needs to be.me and my family sat in to eat she asked us multiple times did we need any,asked how our food was she even cleaned out mess up when she didn't half to..way to go paisanos about time you guys got decent people taking orders .

“I am thrilled to share my experience with Tango Pastry, a true gem in the world of pastries and delicious treats! From the moment you step into their café, the ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting to savor their delectable pastries. Tango Pastry's dedication to delivering top-notch quality and excellent service is evident. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to guide you through their mouthwatering selections. I can't wait to join them for their Grand Opening! I highly recommend Tango Pastry to anyone seeking a delightful pastry experience. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you, and you'll be eager to return for more of their scrumptious delights.”
“Run by a nice family, this place has been a winner for years. While I do miss Ezat, who used to bake the flatbreads in the back of the store, this market carries many types of great ME breads and many other ME products. While their canned or bottled foods can be priced a bit high, this market is an overall winner! Love it! Superb!”

“To start with Shamshiry in Tysons is still halal except for their steak. I asked them and they reconfirmed. I am sure a lot of you have been to Shamshiry , and their food has not changed since forever and it’s always so flavorful. I also love their newly renovated restaurant, it give such a nice feel to the experience. As always, the restaurant was full as usual and we added our name to the que. The new change is, this time they gave us a buzzer, something that I would love all the Muslim establishments have. It makes wait looks more reasonable. While we waited I saw live grilling from their kitchen which is in the wait area. The kitchen looked clean and the staff seem to look happy and enjoying what they do. After about 20-25 minutes wait our buzzer went off and we were promptly seated. We all love their Kubeida Kabob (Beef skewers) and every individual in the family ordered that. We also got cokes and small pitcher of Doogh. While we waited for our food, complimentary fresh baked breads (Roti) with butter, and spicy chutney was served. My boys love making the bread sandwich, by spreading butter, adding samak and a few drops of olive oil with a hint of spicy chutney and making it to a roll. While we enjoyed the self made rolls our food came out in a timely manner. Kubeidas were freshly made and the flavor was amazing like always. It was moist and juicy. If you like Doogh this is the place to get it. They make fresh Doogh with perfection in house. The wait staff was not readily available as the restaurant was full, but always responded back when asked for help. Shamshiry not only upgraded their restaurant but overall experience. Instead of serving pre-made bread they now bake their own bread. The wait buzzer is a good addition as well as it reduces the crowd near the counter. The water bottles are with the restaurant name engraved. It’s a nice blue bottle and for some reason the water tasted crisper. It might be in my head. The food is always on point and I’ve never had bad food there since 2006. If you haven’t been to Shamshiry lately, give it a shot. Be ready for long wait and not the best service, but the food is gonna make up for it. For all you bathroom lovers, you may not wanna come out of it, nicely upgraded with upgraded no touch faucet and dryer with real towels to wipe hands.”

“We heard of Terra’s from a friend and literally drove 1.5 hours to try it out. The waffle cones were incredible! Our family tried many flavors of the ice cream and every single one was delicious! I’m already trying to think of an excuse to drive that far again! 😉”
“Friendly - actually, happy - staff, kind and knowledgeable. Reasonable prices, lots of options, my açaí bowl was delicious. Games and kids books if you want to hang out.”
“Delicious Food and Fantastic Service!
My family went to Viet Corner last week and we had such a great experience. We ordered three dishes to share: Cơm Tấm (Broken Rice), Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup), and Bún Thịt Nướng Chả Giò (Vermicelli with Grilled Pork & Egg Rolls). Everything came out absolutely delicious and suited our family's taste perfectly!
A few highlights from our visit
The food came out very quickly, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
On our way out, I ordered a Banh Mi to go, and it was seriously so good! 🤤
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and flavorful Vietnamese food. We will definitely be back!”

“Convenient and have self checkout kiosk , waiting a bit sometimes and my orders was messed up with another people order .
After all the bubble tea have good taste and can adjust the sugar levels as per my need . I am buble tea lover and often I get back here to get one .”
“Sometimes you don’t need an elaborate dessert—freshly baked bread is enough to bring you back.
This was my first visit to Shilla Bakery in Vienna, and it left a good impression. I picked up a few different bread items, and everything was fresh and enjoyable. While there wasn’t one item that stood out above the rest, the overall quality was consistently good.
The bakery itself is bright, open, and elegant, making it a pleasant place to stop in. Service was good, there was no wait, and the prices felt fair for the quality you receive.
I didn’t have any complaints during my visit, and I’d definitely come back. If you enjoy fresh baked goods and want a bakery that’s both welcoming and reliable, Shilla Bakery is worth checking out.”

“I truly enjoyed their Prix Fixe meal. The staff was exceptionally accommodating with my portion since I have allergies. The atmosphere is a vibe. You have to go and try it for yourself. Truly authentic Korean cuisine.”
