“Great food and service we were at the Woodbridge Virginia location celebrating the end of our daughter radiation therapy treatment and we had Amanda as a waitress wonderful service and then they congratulated us and didn't charged us for the full meal. Not about the money but we still have love ❤ out there.”

The sandwich with the red sauce 8.8/10 nice healthy pieces of chicken, the Mac and cheese 9.2/10 the top was nice and crispy and the cheese was super creamy. Now the Banana pudding 9.8/10 nice thick pudding not watery at all the wafers were perfect bringing my total score to 27.8/30. the portions are well balanced!!

“The manager Melody was amazing. She was very attentive, watched the floor and was readily available to assist in any matters. My ordered did not come out right, and she came and ensured the cooks fixed it and offered a dessert/discount. The best type of service I've seen in a manager across the board. Our server Travis was an awesome as well. Polite, observant and professional.”

“Delicious, quick service, professional. Alway fresh mike and tea. Great place for bbt. Milk and tea alway fresh. The buba was soft and Staff really pay attention to my order. I got what’s I want. The place is so clean. I enjoyed spending time over there. Recommended to try chunky cup.”
“Best birria tacos ever! Make sure you get the sides, rice, beans, esquiotes (elotes in a bowl). It was so good we got food to go to eat tomorrow. We live 60 miles away and unanimously agreed to come back here just for the food. They are getting a liquor license and will start serving drinks next week. I can't wait to return. Additional bonus, the staff was awesome, friendly, helpful, hospitable and the food came out quickly.”

“Halal Kingz is literally the ONLY place I will buy falafel from in Woodbridge. I always have an amazing experience with the staff and Umer is so pleasant, helpful, and accommodating! As soon as I came in, he greeted me and was more than willing to offer pleasant customer service! It goes a long way when you have people who genuinely care about the impression they leave. Umer was certainly that. Much love to the Halal Kingz!”
“This store by far is the best location I’ve too. As of today this location is on the top of tropical smoothie location list when I’m in the area for work. Brandon is such a sweetheart🥰 it’s the little things that mean a lot. It’s the receipt for me too cute. Thank you Brandon!!”
“Mars was a wonderful server. Service was excellent and quick. Food was fantastic.”

“Excellent evening at the Woodbridge, VA NYAJs yesterday! We were greeted by the manager Usy( I’m not good at names) who was working on clearing tables. We had a couple minute wait for our outside table. There were 3 of us and we ordered drinks and appetizers to share. Desi was our server. She was attentive and cheerful (not annoyingly so). The Bang Bang Shrimp, Potstickers and my favorite Ahi Tuna Wontons were wonderful! Cocktails as well! We all had been regulars up to about 18 months ago as the service was atrocious. So glad NYAJ is back. This is my 2nd visit in a month. Will be back soon. Kudos to the new manager and staff. Keep it up!”

“Our server was Beatrice. What an awesome lady. She knew the menu inside and out as my wife wanted to substitute pork options off her plate. She was a joy to speak with and always had a smile on her face. Also Mike the manager, asked us if our food was good. Customer service is what it's all about so this IHOP which is very busy was operating like a smooth running machine.”
“I've been a bit frustrated in the past at this location but there have been some great customer service here lately. I've came across a few good gentleman here at different times. I believe their names are Trayvon and Micah. Different occasions but wow, they were so polite to me. Like a natural laid back vibe they gave off for my orders and that's the type of service I expect for the most part. So shout out to those two gentlemen for a job well done!”
“I ordered a Whopper the other day, and asked for everything on the side. I got just a Whopper Patty lol. I decided to go back the NEXT DAY to let the Manager know about the incident in a polite manner. In return, I got a remade Whopper and a free drink! Proper customer service! Will come back! Thank you again staff!”
“Blooming chicken and sirloin, salmon, and their sides were amazing! The staff were as well! Even coming in late, they were more than happy to serve us.”

“The BEST Mexican food truck in the area! It is super authentic and always fresh. The food is amazing but in particular they’re made to order tamales. You have to contact the owners wife and get a minimum of 12 either chicken, pork, or rajas but trust me it’s worth it!”
“I love paisanos pizza!! Like a lot. Decided to order some garlic knots tonight with my order…brooo…these are NOT garlic knots. These are dry bread knots. I’ll be mixing up my own buttery garlic spread to pour over these to make them garlic knots. Like come on. Do better. But nevertheless, loveeee the pizza. I’ll be back!! 🍕”
“The staff and food here are awesome!!! The waiters and waitresses here are gold, they care and it shows.”
“I came here yesterday and we love coming here for Pasta’s and soup,It’s consistently good! Our go to is tiramisu.
What makes this place extra special is the customer service! Big smile and warm welcome from everyone especially our server Lyzen! - he knows how to make us laugh and smile,and good service.”

“If i could i would give this place zero stars..but not an option. I was a new visitor to this establishment, and let him know that prior to ordering. Wanted the turkey (happy place) a drink and a scone. I get my meal and there is no turkey on it. So I got back and explained I wanted the turkey happy place. He said no you ordered the "our happy place". I said sir I even pointed to what I wanted on the menu. I didn't realize there were two items with the same name. He said that is your fault and you should know the menu. I said we'll I had let you know prior it was my first time here. He said I don't care if it's your first or 3rd you should know the menu. He said I'm not going to remake it., that's what you ordered. I said I would of never order anything with spinach because I'm allergic to it. He said so..I'm not remaking it! So not only did I have to wait a long time for thr sandwich, I couldn't eat it cause I was allergic to the ingredients. So I get back to my office hungry and upset to realize he didn't put the scone I paid for in thr bag. So I call and he says oh next time I will give it to you. No apology or anything. ..and next time, I paid for it this time. Very rude to new customers and would never spend my money there again. I don't understand why he was so rude. You think you would want to retain customers so they will do repeat visits.”
“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!”
“Stopped in for lunch and tried their lunch boxes. The food was delicious. Portions were big and the side dishes were very good. Our children also loved the food. Service was fast and the waitress was really kind. Saw a few menu items I want to try, so we’ll be back!”
“This restaurant is definitely the best-kept secret in Woodbridge! We came once, and have never stopped coming. I came with a friend, and returned with my sons, and came back with my niece. I have eaten many South Asian cuisines, and none compares to this one. I can eat here all week and come back for the weekend. It's hard to decide on the best-tasting food here. The Rice Briyani is the best I've ever had anywhere. The lamb curry is so yummy! The chic peas are unbelievable delicious - melts in your mouth, we had to order extra to go after eating in! If you try the crab balls, you won't stop eating it. And the somosas - wow! Not to talk about the hot-fresh and fluffy naan! The menu is vast, and it doesn't matter what you order, it's finger-licking delicious. Plus the price is great, and the service wonderful! Anyone who goes there needs to salute the chef - he's cooking up "AMAZING"! WE WILL BE BACK!”
“This Pho place, conveniently located right next to my house, stands out as the best Pho spot in the entire area. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely customer-oriented. The prices are very reasonable, and I thoroughly enjoy the way they prepare their food.”
“Had the chicken and coleslaw sandwich and red skin mashed potatoes which were really good! But, I was SO disappointed in the size of halloumi. $9 for 5 TINY AND THIN slices of halloumi and a 1/2 cup of chili jam sauce. The halloumi side dish was bigger than my "shareable." Feel like someone shorted my order. 😑”
“I ordered the Lomo Saltado which was absolutely delicious! The rice was flavorful and fluffy and made just right. The meat was juicy and tender and had the perfect flavor and the sauce to food ratio was perfect. I will definitely recommend Doña Sazón to my friends and family. It was ordered through Uber Eats so i can't speak on the atmosphere but I definitely go check it out , I'm sure it will be amazing. Thank you for this delicious meal. ❤️”

All the staff at this store are great, friendly and make you feel happy in a warming place. Excellent service and very very clean place!! I hope other stores do this to make our children experience new things. Thank you so much to the owner, manager and the rest off the staff for your hard work everyday!! 🐸🍦🍨 😋”
“Coming back from a funeral service, all I wanted was comfort food. Kababayan did not dissapoint us! Everything was what I had hoped it would be. The Halo Halo was not too sweet for the health conscious seniors like us. Kudos to the staff and the owner. You are a blessing to the Filipino community who needed a to go place for good home cooked meal.”
“Mr. Sams resteraunt is the best! there are so many food options from pizza, wings, subs, butter chicken gyros, ect. Everything that my family has tried is amazing. we found the resteraunt about 2 years ago, every since this is the only place we get food from when we order out. Mr. Sam's resteraunt prime pizza and grill has become a house hold name for us and brings us together whether over a delicious meal or phone calls to tell what we tried today. Everytime we order and taste something great and new we will make sure we share the experience with everyone. Thanks again Mr. Sam! My mom of course loved the pizza she picked up and the specialty.”
“I love Red Robin and received the best service from Alicia. It’s always great when the people are pleasant along with the food. The manager Brady came over, he was friendly, and I was able to share with him about my satisfaction.”
“Zaffron is hands down the best caterer in the DMV! They catered my sister’s wedding and everything was flawless.From the service to the mouthwatering food. Our guests are still talking about it. Highly recommend for any event!”
“I have been going here for years! Love the food and the owner is an amazingly kind guy who treats every customer with respect and professionalism. Did I mention the food is amazing! I have eaten everything on the menu and never dissatisfied. Def try the Cassava leaf with goat meat or the Egusi stew with banku! And all soups are delicious. The food can be definitely be considered comfort food.”
“Great crabs and shrimp. Captain Bob is wonderful and runs great specials”
“El Mejor Lugar del DMV buen ambiente te atienden bien , los mejores Eventos”
“I’m not a big reviewer but honestly this place was worth the review. The drinks were delicious - probably the best sangria I’ve ever had and the food was yummmmy too! Highly recommend”
“I love it! This is one of my favorite neighborhood places to go.. the staff is amazing”
“Easy to work with this marina. we can properly and safely work together and get jobs done on time. Customer satisfaction I’d think is 5 stars in my books.”
“Great service and overall experience. The food was good, a bit too salty in my opinion. The portions are huge, so after we finished the appetizers we were already full. There was a 30 minute wait time, although once seated I noticed the place had several empty tables similar to where we were seated at. Not sure why … They don’t take reservations.”
“I order food last week from the restaurant. I forgot her name was but she’s so sweet and professional when she took my order . She suggested to get what is good from the menu . I ordered fried fish and fish combo . My mom and my sister still taking about to get them more . Thank you and I will definitely comeback soon .”
“It’s so so peaceful, I tend to get overwhelmed more quickly and this place sets a feel of calm and not to quiet or awkward. Anyway, the mango lassi is amazing I’ve come here since I was a little girl and mango lassi has al ways hit especially when it’s here. Their chicken is perfect as well. They’ve practically perfected the clean, cultural aspect of an Indian restaurant .”
“The first time I ordered, the sauce was plentiful and was amazing. I ordered x-hot buffalo and garlic parmesan. I am ordering again tonight. Will provide an update after my second order of the same thing. Just doubling my order to 24 instead of 12.I moved my stars from a 5 to a 4, cause the price is way to much for the average buyer. I can afford them, so what the heck. It is like lobster prices. If it is good and you can afford it, then do so, but if not, find other options or do them yourself at home.There prices may drive them out of market soon, so my comment may just be for nothing.”
“First off I got super discouraged by the amount of bad reviews I saw for this place after ordering. Let me tell you, whatever they did over the coarse of those reviews is a big thumbs up for them. The price was fair for the amount of food we got and it was hot and ready quick. If you enjoy Just Wings and curly Fries give it a try, definitely gunna have leftovers for later. They also have Hand Pies which sounds inappropriate for some reason, but they good too.”
“Omg. Like. I don't eat all day. Plus I have to travel two hours back home. I pressed my luck and this food is fillling, tasty, amazing, great, worth the wait. It was so good! The cashier was amazing. He kept the place so cleaned. Food was fast and well done. Impressed.”

“Hostess was smiling and very pleasant. Wait staff was very good and attentive. Manager stopped by to ensure everything was ok. Food quality was very good and ample quantity.”
“Papa Johns is the bomb! I ordered a BBQ chicken and Meat lovers, both large, and was eating like a king! I felt like the big daddy himself after eating 40 straight pizzas. My favorite part is the voluptuous, juicy, and succulent pepperoncini with every pizza! Safe to say I passed out and fell into a deep food coma. Maybe one day I will awaken, only to stuff myself to the gills with more of that sweat papa’s pizza! 10/10 would recommend!”
“The auntie anne’s near tjmaxx is amazing! My food is always fresh, the employees are always nice, and the manager is just as friendly
:). I love coming here. 10/10.”
“The food and drinks tonight were very tasty! Our server Jessie was very sweet and attentive.”

“I recently visited Kabobistan Afghan Sheeryakh with a friend, and it was an outstanding experience. If you’re looking for authentic Afghan cuisine, this is the place to go! The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were very generous.
The Uzbeki Palau served with fresh Afghan bread was the highlight of our meal—perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed their traditional Afghan Sheryakh (ice cream), which was the perfect way to end the meal.
The restaurant has a large seating area with clean tables and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place for families and groups.
I highly recommend Kabobistan Afghan Sheeryakh to anyone craving real Afghan flavors, excellent service, and great value. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“We had a late dinner tonight (Saturday). I enjoyed my Cobb Salad so much that I forgot my purse in the restaurant when we left. As soon as we arrived home almost 20 miles away, I realized my purse was missing and it was already 9:30 PM which meant the restaurant would be closing in half an hour. My husband jumped in the car and headed back while I tried calling the restaurant. After about 4 attempts calling I finally got through and was informed my purse had been found and I could pick it up the same night. My husband got there about 2 minutes before 10 PM and was handed my purse with all its contents intact. I am so impressed with the honesty and caring manner in which this situation was handled. Thank you 2425 Prince William Pkwy Crew! You're the best!!”

“The first time we went here we weren't impressed. However, one of the owners reached out to us personally and invited us back. We have been back twice. They are awesome! The food is yummy and reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly! Only downside is they now do not have fountain drinks (cans only) but I think that's just a sign of the time of living in a pandemic. Hopefully, when we return to a somewhat normal existence this will be back. Love Guapo's and highly recommend!”
“I had the Lamb Curry at Shahi Kabob in Woodbridge, and it was absolutely outstanding! The lamb was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The curry had a rich, authentic flavor with just the right balance of spices that made every bite delicious. Paired with their fresh naan, it was one of the best Pakistani meals I’ve had in the area. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and the overall dining experience was fantastic. Highly recommend the Lamb Curry—I will definitely be back!”

“One of the best hidden gems in Woodbridge. I don't usually eat Indian food but this place definitely made me a big fan. Everything was so good and fresh, and the service was amazing. I ordered the Butter Chicken, rice, and garlic naan and it was all so delicious. I am definitely planning on ordering again!”
“I ordered the strawberry cloud matcha and my order came back quickly AND it was a quality, tasty drink. The interior is also well kept and clean, with a cute little gift shop as a bonus. Great place to stop by with friends after work. I will definitely be coming back!”
“It takes a bit for me to review, but after a number of pleasant visits, here I am.
The lattes are excellent and creative—the Butter Beer is my favorite. I love their philosophy on flavoring: they start light because you can always add more, but you can’t take it away—i.e., salt when cooking.
The staff is incredibly accommodating, too, and cheerfully made one of their previous drinks that wasn't on the menu.
The prices are nicely reasonable, making it easy to get a great drink within your budget, and my husband loves their suitably priced pour-over options.
The atmosphere is light, clean, and beautifully minimal. As a parent with school-aged kids and a toddler, this calm space provides a true, low-stress retreat—emphasis on the treat.
While they have just three locations and offer franchising, they completely avoid that overwhelming corporate-chain color scheme that hides their logo everywhere and advertises their wares and new things on your path to order. Something I never realized was subconsciously exhausting until it was scaled to a minimum.
It's a welcoming, child-friendly, local spot. So very glad it's not another copy and paste coffee place.”
“Shout out to Yasev for going above and beyond to make my kid's day. You were so patient and kind to them while ordering, they wanted to sample some and you were just so sweet to them. We really appreciated you making sure everyone you came into contact with had an outstanding experience.”
“Great service and overall experience. The food was good, a bit too salty in my opinion. The portions are huge, so after we finished the appetizers we were already full. There was a 30 minute wait time, although once seated I noticed the place had several empty tables similar to where we were seated at. Not sure why … They don’t take reservations.”
“Went in for lunch today. First the place was very clean. No greasy floors or tables. Even the salsa bar was clean!
Ordered flautas and a torta. Both were delicious. Flautas perfectly crispy, beans were really good. Great presentation and a very good portion. My friend loved her sandwich as well. Sauces were varied in spice level so something for everyone.
Great service! Would definitely go back.”
“Several of us came in for lunch on a weekday and they were completely dead when we got there around noon. The dining was empty and it was rather cold inside too, then again it was snowing outside, so maybe that’s the reason for them not being busy and it being cold. The lady who helped us was friendly and was very helpful with the menu, which was very nice.
Their menu is interesting… it’s one of these Middle Eastern places with so many items on the menu that they feel the need to try to appeal to so many that they have Italian along with Pakistani and Indian/Afghan – this is NOT ideal, please don’t do this! You’re Pakistani, Indian, Afghan, etc – stick to that food, don’t try to sell everything for the extra business, it doesn’t appeal to those of us who seek the authentic experience and food, but nonetheless, I gave them a try and I’m glad I did because all the food we ordered (everything in Pakistani style, since I’m Pakistani and I appreciate when this food is done right) was pretty darn good!
We start with veggie pakora and veggie samosa, the pakora was spot-on perfect! The chickpea dough was seasoned perfectly and these tasted great! The samosa’s dough was incorrect, like pie dough, but the filling was great!
The entrées were pretty good – We tried beef chapli kabob – a little thin, but packed with flavor. Their veggie biryani was folded properly into the curry and had the beautiful colors it’s supposed to have. Flavors were decent as well. Chicken Karahi, one of my favs was actually spot-on! The sweetness of the tomato in it was perfect alongside the tastiness of the curry – great dish! Channa (or choli, not sure what they call it there) was decent, but lacked the depth of “stewed down” flavor that I like from chickpea curry that’s done with dried beans, this tasted/resembled canned chickpeas. Aloo Pollak was decent, but lacked that deep flavor that I love about saag or even a well-seasoned potato (aloo). As for their naan, it was GREAT! Nice texture, denseness, and doneness. I always ask for my naan to be non-cut and no grease, butter, ghee – I HATE this culture of putting that nasty, greasy stuff on naan, roti, or chipati – must be an American thing, because I don’t recall ever having this as a kid in Pakistan.
Bottom line – Very nice experience. They have tons on the menu and though I might not have though everything was absolutely perfect, 100% of the things I ordered were totally acceptable, flavorful, and when served with other dishes would make for a very nice meal. I’m not sure while this place has such poor reviews, possibly because they’re trying too hard by serving Italian food when they’re not Italian and they have no business doing this. Either way – stop in for decent Pakistani food, I definitely appreciated my visit.”
