“Came here for my anniversary and had great sushi! The ambient lighting was amazing and the food was even better! Sushi Cho is always my go-to when I want elevated sushi with a comforting environment!
We got the sushi & sashimi combo and 2 of their speciality rolls, which is my favorite part of the menu! The scallop burst was a great amount of spice to break up the fish, and the triple match roll was one of my favorite bites the whole night!”

“Was super bz on a Sunday and service was okay but our waitress wasn’t all that great.”
“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!”

“TL;DR: good pizza and fast service
We have been to the one in Tyson's locations,, but we finally got a chance to try this location. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor season, with a full bars with TVs as well. There are two distinct lines, one for whole pies and one for by the slice. They also have a handful of combos which is the way we went.
We got the pepperoni special (5/5) which was our favorite. The sausage and pepper (3/5) was solid but nothing special. Overall, the dough/crust was a perfect balance of crunch, chew, and substance.
Already itching to go back and try other pizzas!”
“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.”
“This was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. First, when we walked through the door, the man at the counter was so friendly and helpful when it came to asking questions about the menu. We came to find out he was actually the owner. We sat down waiting on our food, and it was hot, fresh, and made to order. The flavor was outstanding! If you get a chance to stop by this spot, you will not be disappointed.”
“I love this place, the atmosphere and the food. Today a friend and I went for a yummy brunch and were served by a super waiter, Benn. The restaurant and the service – highly recommended.”

“Great wine spot! Funny and knowledgeable sommelier guided us through our free wine tasting! Thanks Kevin! And yes, that’s right, I said free! But only at certain times and days. Look in to it. Kiwi burger was good but the steak frites needed some salt and maybe something else. Oh, definitely get their house made tiramisu. Another one on point! Overall great experience and would definitely come back.”
“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The presentation was great as well Can't wait to come back.”
“Josh and the Chicken lettuce Wraps prepared by Herman was a true treat for a Monday! I’ve been coming to PF changs since it’s opening in Tyson’s Galleria in about 1999? (Can’t remember exactly) - but regardless - the wraps essence and notes have been consistent since then - what a treat! Cheers and see you for half wine wednesdays!”
“This place is incredible. I am not aware of any other luosifen noodle house in the area. If you, like me, are a newcomer to this style of noodle soup, you are going to be extremely impressed. The bone broth is bracing, complex, and flavorful, far richer and deeper than pho or tonkotsu. Recommend getting it spicy: it brings all the flavors together without being overwhelming. Additionally, the Sichuan menu is one of the best in the area, second only to Mama Chang's and Hong Kong Palace. This place is pretty new and trying to get its feet underneath it. Let's support high quality food!”
“ONE Bar&Grill is our number one restaurant choice in Old Town Fairfax. We have visited several times and EVERY meal has been amazing! Mina the owner, and Stephanie along with all the servers are first class people. Fairfax is fortunate to have such a top notch restaurant! We look forward to many future visits.”
“Absolutely extraordinary! Courtside Thai Cuisine is a gem in the heart of Fairfax, VA. From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the aromatic allure of authentic Thai cuisine. The food is a culinary masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors harmoniously blending together. The Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly cooked noodles and a balance of sweet, sour, and savory that dances on the palate. The Green Curry is another star, its richness and depth of flavor truly showcasing the art of Thai cooking. Service here is impeccable. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They are knowledgeable about the menu and more than willing to accommodate any dietary preferences or modifications. But what truly sets Courtside Thai Cuisine apart is the ambiance. The decor is elegant yet cozy, providing an ideal backdrop for both casual dinners and special occasions. It's a place where every meal feels like a celebration. In a world full of dining options, Courtside Thai Cuisine stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence and hospitality. It's not just a meal; it's an experience, a journey through the vibrant, flavorful landscapes of Thailand. A true Fairfax treasure, I can't recommend it highly enough! 5 stars all the way!”

“Amazing food and also gluten free options we had the crab guac, lobster tacos and Bouillabaisse. Chris the bartender made great margaritas and martinis. Highly recommend.”

“ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. If you’re even thinking about trying Ned’s New England Deck, just go! You won’t regret it. The owner, Steve, is so personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about his business. He made an effort to talk to us (even our 4-year-old), which was really sweet and made the whole experience feel more personal. I also loved how he hyped up his staff, you can tell they’re appreciated. The food though… wow. The brown butter lobster roll was seriously amazing! The soft, flavorful bread and the lobster was so buttery and sweet. I’ve had lobster rolls before (even at the beach), and this one honestly beats them. The fried fish melts in your mouth and the truffle fries are addicting. My family and I left so impressed. The food was incredible, and Steve’s kindness just made it even better. He even shared how to make one of their sauces at home, which was such a nice gesture. So again, thank you Steve and staff for an amazing dinner & becoming our go-to seafood spot. We can’t wait to try more and checkout the playroom upstairs!”

“If you are gluten intolerant this may be the beer for you. I have been gluten intolerant for 13 years now. I used to enjoy a beer here and there. Some of the gluten free ones out there are eh, at best. This beer has a full body taste. I did not have any issues drinking it. Now, that being said if you are gluten intolerant you must know yourself really well. It may not be for you, but than again it may. I am just excited that I had no issues and enjoyed a full tasting beer!”
“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.”

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.”
“Their donkatsu is massive! It's the thinner, old school Korean style donkatsu, which I really enjoyed. The sauce was flavorful, and the cold noodles paired really well with it. If you're craving nostalgic Korean style donkatsu, this is definitely worth trying.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the salt bread because I prefer mine a little more buttery. This one was chewier, with a clean, subtle flavor and a nice nutty richness. It just wasn't my personal preference.
The melon bingsu was huge and could easily be shared by three people. It was refreshing and made a great dessert to finish the meal.”

“The staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming, which really made the experience pleasant. The food menu looks amazing and everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The salteñas were great and definitely something I would order again.
The only thing that wasn’t for me were the alfajor cookies. They were very dense and had a bit too much caramel for my taste. Others may love them if you’re a big dulce de leche fan (which I am), but they were just a little heavy for me.
Overall though, the friendly staff and great salteñas made it worth the visit.”
“Interesting “northern”Chinese food. Different from the regular Chinese food”
“The best banh mi sandwich you will find, the bread is baked fresh on premises. All the ingredients are fresh. This is only one of two Pho restaurants in the country that has pipping hot stone bowl, the other one is 3K miles away. Try the vegetable Pho, there is nothing like it anywhere, absolutely amazing, you need to request it. The chicken Pho is the best you will find. Everything on the menu is great. The owner is there to greet customers. The staff is absolutely the best.”
“The moment you walk in, the environment is so welcoming, fresh, and vibey. It's like you know " this is going to be good". Then you are greeted, and the service was just that much better. She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!”
“Milagro was absolutely wonderful! The food was amazing the service was excellent and she even brought us our food outside when it was ready! To even go a step further to getting our four legged friend a bowl of water to enjoy! Thank you Milagro! Will definitely be back!”
“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!”
“I want to take this opportunity to share our experience at your restaurant, Bonefish, on Friday, August 29. Our visit for lunch was a great success. Our group of 7 senior women were served by wait staff who were pleasant and patient as we gathered and took our time ordering their delicious salads. They had a nice selection of salad and soup. We all enjoyed our meals. We were also celebrating 2 birthdays. They offered the birthday girls a selection of deserts that were free for the two celebrants. We all sang Happy Birthday and even our waiter joined us We will certainly plan to visit again soon.in singing!”
“This is a great idea to bring people closer to the Lord. on top of that. they support local roasters and even have some whole beans in store. Great way to support local within local while being able to pray or do work. very quiet. very welcoming. no one is demanding you to pray to get coffee. it's the most unique coffee shop I've ever been to. the idea. the layout. everything is great. I got a sandwich and some beans. Great spot”
“my son and niece are OBSESSED with playa bowls! we never leave with a bad experience, the workers are so incredibly nice, and shoutout Ellie, every interaction ive had with her was the sweetest!! Always excited to come back here, defined one of my fav spots always such a vibe!!”
“My long time, absolute favorite sushi restaurant in NOVA! Outstanding friendly staff, personal service, excellent and authentic food! I’ve been a loyal customer of this lovely place since they opened 19 years ago! Thank you for a terrific experience!!”

“Oh, how I wish I lived close by to come to this shop in person!!! I did an online order for a cake drum and box for a wedding cake I'm making because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted elsewhere. The website had so many options of literally everything you would need for cake decorating needs. My order shipped promptly, and arrive on time. The items were well-packaged and very sturdy. I will definitely purchase from you all again!!!”
“I have been to Tom Tom Boba many times with my friends and family and they never disappoint. They offer many unique and tasty flavors of boba tea as well as an awesome variety of the Vietnamese cuisine. They recently renovated the place and by the photo you can see many people order daily from Tom Tom because they know what’s up. Overall if you need a refreshing drink or a different style of food that you haven’t tried before hit this place up and you won’t be leaving with an empty stomach😋.”
“I have been visiting this place, and I regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious, served in generous portions, and if you come in feeling tired after work, the staff will take care of you with genuine warmth. The restaurant is clean and has great music suitable for families, couples, and singles. I’ve dined at other restaurants, but I can confidently say that Wild Chicken offers exceptional customer service.”
“This place has a great selection of boba drinks. So far I’ve tried only two though: matcha milk tea ( my go-to drink) and ube coconut. The matcha is the best in town IMO! It’s very easy to adjust it to your strength and sweetness. Absolutely love it!! But you GOT to try the ube coconut!!!! My new absolute favorite!!! It’s THE BOMB!!! Again, the sweetness is easily adjusted. Just go and try it!! They also make bahn mi sandwiches. Looking forward to trying it!!”
“Recently discovered the site on my way to work. I needed something quick and filling, and this place was perfect. My first visit was a croissant egg and sausage sandwich with coffee. The sandwich was perfectly buttered and toasted. My 2nd visit I tried the pancakes, eggs, and sausage. Sometimes I work through lunch, so the portions were filling and everything was cooked to perfection! They have a fruit, granola, yogurt bar; and some hot bar options for lunch like tofu and ribs. Great customer service and quick turnaround, surely visiting again.”
“We have worked with Charity, at the Fair Lakes Chick-fil-A, many times for our Waples Mill Elementary PTA and can’t be more complementary! They have supported countless events, we’ve made purchases from this store for our families, and today they donated 2boxed of coffee with all of the accoutrements for our PTA Board meeting. We are just incredibly thankful for their community, outreach and generosity! Thank you so much, you are a wonderful!! Sincerely, The Waples Mill PTA Family”

“Wonderful sushi especially the chirashi. The tempura is also delicious always crisp and not greasy.”
“The food and service at Khans were sensational, it was my first time at Korean bbq and the staff, atmosphere and of course the food were all great. I specifically wanted to shoutout Carmelo our server, he was extremely attentive, and patient with my group and was very entertaining.”
“I’ve ordered the poke from this place 3 times. It’s always excellent and feel good knowing it’s healthy and fresh. Javad is the best. He did an excellent job of explaining what wonder was about. Super friendly and helpful.”
“Es uno de los mejores restaurantes de la zona de Manassas park la comida es deliciosa y la atención es de la mejor 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“After hearing of Bunnyman for months, I decided to hit it up with a few friends on a Friday night. It did not disappoint at all. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is serene with great music. The music volume is perfect too so you can still socialize without having to shout. My favorite amenities though, are the self-pour feature, the diversity of beer flavors, and the ease of paying. The taps are really easy to use and to keep track of how much your bar tab is accumulating. On top of that, you don't have to wait at all for a refill- just head on up to the tap and pour, amazing system! The Irish Red beer was my go-to, and it was very pleasing to see that on tap when it's not actually Oktoberfest season, (I can never seem to find it most times of the year). We will all definitely be back, as well as looking forward to visiting their Lorton location! Keep up the great work and the awesome selection of beers, mad props!”
“Great food, don’t like that I cannot see my order at checkout and am just told what i owe. I like to see the itemization.”
“Fun happy hour spot to visit! Staff was extremely friendly and was very informative of all the beers on tap. Food was delicious and we had a wonderful time! Will be coming back!”
“My friend and I were so excited to try this Thai place and we were quite impressed! Their cloud strawberry matcha drink was one of the best ones I’ve had and I really enjoyed their Pad see ew! It’s a very cute location too with a nice atmosphere when it’s not super busy. Will definitely return and recommend to friends who like matcha and Thai food.”
“We made a reservation for 18 on a Thursday weeks in advance. They were so great to us! They offered great service, food and hospitality. They made our family celebration a wonderful, special time together. Thank you!”
“Great place, overpriced with too many extra charges, besides that, the food is excellent”
“Today is my birthday. My mom tried to order jumbo crabs, but it was right when they first opened, so door dash showed they didn’t have them, but Josie came to the rescue!! Thanks Josie, heavy MD jumbo”
“excellent restaurant with great service & excellent prices on great food and I really appreciate the excellent service and my meal I had there very nice family restaurant.”
“I’m only in town for a week, but have already been here twice since it’s short trip from where I’m staying and I enjoy a good brew pub. Ate at the bar both times. Food and service were 💯both times. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and the supreme pizza. Meatloaf was great, pizza’s ok. I tried both their hazy beers and the Freedom and Founders IPAs, all good choices. I’m planning on bringing my husband for my 3rd visit before heading home. Looking forward to having the Stroganoff pasta on my next visit. Would highly recommend for food and craft beer selections.”
“Sushi Prince has the best sushi in all of Fairfax. The fish and ingredients are always so fresh and delicious. It is the perfect spot for a date night.”
“Best beers I've had in a long time! So many great and creative options of beers! Every one I sampled was OUTSTANDING! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to the brewer and the staff are SOOO friendly, professional and helpful! Great atmosphere and the outdoor patio is an added bonus on beautiful days!”
“Best all you can eat during Ramadan! Authentic Syrian and Lebanese food for the serious foodie! Best kibbe! Well worth my taste buds!”
“My friend and I had a wonderful dining experience at Hamrock's! Are server was so welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu had so many gluten-free items, it was really hard for me to decide what to order.
I will definitely be back!”
“We ate out on the patio which was sunny despite the umbrellas. We had a good combination of sun and shade for those of us who worship and those who avoid the sun.
The service was excellent. Diego, our waiter, was friendly and attentive. The patio is close by the splash park and the kids were playing joyfully in the park - good background noise without being too loud.
We ordered 2 appetizers, the table bread and the calamari. The table bread was a well seasoned, oiled flat bread that was crisp on the outside but tender to eat. It was perfectly made. The calamari was lightly battered, crisp, and not oily. The flavor was excellent. There was also pickled and fried jalapeno chips mixed in which were delicious.
Everyone else ordered a pizza, I ordered a burger. The burger was well seasoned, juicy, and cooked perfectly - I always get my burgers well done. The bun was fresh and light.
Everyone loved their pizzas. The fig and prosciutto pizza had chunks of figs, not just a fig jam. The one person in the group who ordered the cauliflower crust said it was good and crunchy.
We definitely enjoyed the Fairfax / Merrifield Matchbox much more than we had enjoyed the Reston version. I highly recommend.”
“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.”
“Food Delicious! And the staff super kind and friendly! Totally recomendable!”
“It was wonderful! This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and it was a fantastic introduction to to the food. I couldn’t have asked for better!”
“Wow, Sunday happy hour from 12-6, at 5pm place was packed. Reduced price included $1 oysters! Had bunch of O's, Onion rings, Bruschetta (unique that it was baked), Chicken slider 2 sliders (half of tender) with Cole slaw and fries, Smash burger, wings. All from happy hour menu. Lots of drink choices (beer, cocktails, wines,....) Food was very good, service was good but waiter did forgot the Onion rings, I reminded twice and it came out with last orders. But, will visit again. Normal menu prices are in line with typical sit in restaurant (20-30 avg).”
“Great service, the food was on time and prepared correctly. It was very clean. I’d definitely return!!”
“The vegan crepes were really tasty!! Friendly staff, loved the smoothies.!”
“AMAZING tasting food and even more amazing owners. This restaurant stepped up to provide food to a community searching for a missing person. The kindness shown speaks volumes about the people who own this restaurant. #findmamtakaflebhatt”
“as a regular, the authentic Chengdu laziji (spicy chicken) congxiang yu (scallion fish) and ziran yang (cumin lamb) are my go to favorites”
““Had such a great experience at the bar thanks to Justin. From the moment we sat down, he is very welcoming, attentive, and really knew their craft. The drinks were perfectly made, and their recommendations were spot on. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do—it made the whole night even better. Definitely coming back and will be sitting at the bar again!””
“You should try eat in here. The foods are excellent and professional to service.I really love eat in here.”
“Absolutely my favorite lunch spot in Fairfax. I’ve been eating here for 5 years now and the place is like home.. friendly and loving staff with the Absolute most delicious kabobs (IMO).. The only downside here is I live in faqr co.”
“We come here every year for our anniversary and the staff remembers us! They make everything special (they had rose pedals and confetti on the table) and are very kind to our kids, which we always bring. The steaks are perfect as are all of the sides. We never have any issues here!”
“We went for Sunday brunch yesterday and our server was CJ. The bottomless mimosas were served in coup glasses and were plentiful (limit of 5 per person 👍🏻). I had the Huevos Rancheros which were served with breakfast potatoes and the order was big enough to share. The service was quick and thoughtful. I’d definitely recommend Drapers for Sunday brunch. The lunch and dinner menu looked interesting and I’m sure we’ll be back. A corner jewel in old towne Fairfax.”
“Shy was an amazing server. She was very attentive. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed the deviled eggs, fried pickles and the grilled cheese/tomato soup. So delish!! Thanks for a wonderful dinner!”

“Humongous selection of great
fresh seafood, Sushi, Salads, Rice, Noodles, Soup, MANY Hot dishes, Fried Rice & Vegan choices, Korean BBQ, Crepes, Desserts....the little pumpkin pie & cheesecake bites are perfection at the end of this serious All one can eat adventure. The server was attentive removing my devoured empty snow crab and keeping my water full. Thanks Sushi On 🍣”
“We enjoyed a bite before a movie at Mosaic. Really terrific old fashioned and apps, especially the lobster roll sliders, shrimp, and steak bites. Our server Becca took excellent care of us, and she made sure we made it to our movie on time. Looking forward to our next visit.”
“Hello, I am here to talk about my experience at Oh George. It was a very wonderful and comfortable experience, and I will be making sure to come back and dine in again. The service was sublime, quick, and very pleasant. There is a very kind hostess by the name of Madelin who made sure to prioritize my comfort and dining experience, which is why it is so elevated. 10/10, please do consider dining here, because the experience is very worthwhile.”
“I enjoyed my service waiter was very nice and I really liked that”
“Affordable AYCE KBBQ with big variety of meat choices! And they give lots of different side dishes as well!”
“Nice, chill location. the food was good. I ordered the 10pc wings with fries. I don't recommend getting the honey mustard sauce. it's the cost of a drink🥴, literally. Why something the same size as ranch or blue cheese costs the same as a drink (while the ranch and blue cheese don't cost extra), I'm not sure. If you're like me and don't eat ranch or blue cheese, bring your own honey mustard. other than that, I highly recommend.”
“I have been following pura vida on social media and was beyond excited to hear a new location was opening at mosaic!
My first impressions - WOW!
The aesthetic, friendly staff, healthy food options and fast service exceeded my expectations. I tried the blue butterfly latte and the veggie omlette - both delicious and so beautifully presented.
I cannot wait to return and try other menu options! Thankyou pura vida for an overall awesome experience!”
“The food is consistently great - well prepared and flavorful. The reason they are able to achieve this is by not sitting too many people at once so they can control the quality of the food and experience. Don’t be dissuaded by the wait. It’s not as long as they typically tell you.”
“I absolutely love this place. Full stop. There’s always a tempting selection of sushi to choose from, and honestly, it’s hard not to over-order “just one more dish”. The chicken karaage is a personal favourite — crispy, juicy, and dangerously moreish. The mini salad deserves a shout-out too; that dressing? Chef’s kiss. I regularly go for the chicken yaki soba or the beef teriyaki, both beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and consistently spot on. Add gyoza as a starter and you’re winning at life. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive — the kind of place where you feel remembered, not processed. Every time I’m back in Fairfax County, this is the place we go. Always such a welcoming vibe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 stars. No notes.”
“We love coming here, great ambiance and people. David the manager was very accommodating and our chef - Ryan - did an amazing job tonight. We love that they give noodles and fried rice! Also you MUST try the Tokyo Shrimp here it is FANTASTIC!! The filet mignon melts in your mouth love the salmon lobster and scallops too. Their ginger sauce, yum yum sauce, AND salad dressing are all on point. It’s hard to find a place that does everything as well as Samurai. We drive from Ashburn just to come here for hibachi.”
“Excellent sushi restaurant! We were in Vienna and craving sushi and found this gem. We were seated right away, greeted with a smile and had a lovely evening. We started off with the edamame and miso soup and salad. We were BLOWN away with how good everything was right off the bat! The house salad had a onion sauce on the top that was so good! Best house salad I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Then we both had rolls that were amazing! Joanne was our waitress and she was so kind and efficient. She even provided us with recommendations and a great description of some of the dishes I asked about. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vienna! Thank you so much!”
“I initially went here to drop off a package for Vinted SpeedX, and since it happened to be a restaurant, my family and I thought to eat dinner here as well.
First off, staff here is wonderful and a delight. They were accommodating for my package drop-off, ensuring that I had taken a picture of everything for reassurance purposes, which I hadn't even thought of.
As for the service, it was great. They engaged in lighthearted conversation with my family, & I saw them providing warm hospitality to another table as well. Such a cozy and family-oriented place. In regards to the food, the chicken is SO delicious! I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. I highly recommend and would come back!!”
“Many traditional Chinese dishes along with Americanized favorites. They may attempt to coax you into changing your mind if you’re not Asian and you want something traditional.”
“Great food and hospitality can’t wait to come back! Food was piping hot and complimentary condiments were delicious! My fish was perfectly cooked!”
“I had a five star experience with hubby last night. The manager Mahder was very hospitable, asking how our food was. We got the steak Alfredo and I liked it, but the steak had a peppery taste so I asked her if they could make it without the pepper (I don’t like pepper because of my food aversion) and she said the beef has seasoning on it and tried to have the kitchen prepare beef without it, but she said the meat was frozen and couldn’t be prepared. I was thankful she was willing to make that accommodation. She was very generous with great service. My husband and I enjoyed our conversations with Mahder and our server Emily. They both went above and beyond in serving us and we highly recommend the food and will definitely be back. Emily did an awesome job serving us! We will definitely be back”
“Excellent vegetarian Indian buffet. You won't miss the meat! There is plenty for vegans and people who are gluten free.”
“great veggie broth options!! my favorite is the mushroom broth. all you can eat for $35/person. so many veggie ingredients available. this is the only place in the DMV i go to for hotpot”
“Many thanks to Max and everyone at Ornery Public House in Fairfax City for helping my wife give me a great party.”
“The restaurant that first introduced me to hot pot years ago. My husband and I used to bring all of our friends and family here. We never had a bad experience. We moved away but we still talk about this place all the time.”
“I m a big fan of george’s coffee. Specially Alameen he is very good boy , his behaviour so polite and friendly. Thanks Alameen and Thanks George’s.”
“Don't write many reviews but had to offset the one current negative review. This is not a full blown sports bar but serves one of the best burgers in the area and the wings are very good. Also have an excellent rotating selection of ~20 beers on tap. There is one big screen and several hanging TVs. Yes its the dining area at Whole Foods with a limited menu but the food/beer are worth a visit IMO.”

“I want to take this opportunity to share our experience at your restaurant, Bonefish, on Friday, August 29. Our visit for lunch was a great success. Our group of 7 senior women were served by wait staff who were pleasant and patient as we gathered and took our time ordering their delicious salads. They had a nice selection of salad and soup. We all enjoyed our meals. We were also celebrating 2 birthdays. They offered the birthday girls a selection of deserts that were free for the two celebrants. We all sang Happy Birthday and even our waiter joined us We will certainly plan to visit again soon.in singing!”
“I have been visiting this place, and I regret not discovering it sooner. The food is delicious, served in generous portions, and if you come in feeling tired after work, the staff will take care of you with genuine warmth. The restaurant is clean and has great music suitable for families, couples, and singles. I’ve dined at other restaurants, but I can confidently say that Wild Chicken offers exceptional customer service.”
“We love the Capital Grille. It is such a and welcoming place, and the food is delicious. Best of all is the service. We always look forward to being served by Shayla. She is absolutely fabulous - so delightful and efficient, and she always makes our visits special.”
“Super delicious food, I like the atmosphere a lot.It became my favorite place on the weekend.All of quality !!I did not think to find a restaurant where food is authentic Peruvian. [Original] La comida súper deliciosa, el ambiente me gusta mucho. Se convirtió en mi lugar favorito los fin de semana. Todo de calidad!! No pensé encontrar un restaurante donde la comida es auténtica peruana.”
“We went for Sunday brunch yesterday and our server was CJ. The bottomless mimosas were served in coup glasses and were plentiful (limit of 5 per person 👍🏻). I had the Huevos Rancheros which were served with breakfast potatoes and the order was big enough to share. The service was quick and thoughtful. I’d definitely recommend Drapers for Sunday brunch. The lunch and dinner menu looked interesting and I’m sure we’ll be back. A corner jewel in old towne Fairfax.”
“The moment you walk in, the environment is so welcoming, fresh, and vibey. It's like you know " this is going to be good". Then you are greeted, and the service was just that much better. She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!”
“This place has a great selection of boba drinks. So far I’ve tried only two though: matcha milk tea ( my go-to drink) and ube coconut. The matcha is the best in town IMO! It’s very easy to adjust it to your strength and sweetness. Absolutely love it!! But you GOT to try the ube coconut!!!! My new absolute favorite!!! It’s THE BOMB!!! Again, the sweetness is easily adjusted. Just go and try it!! They also make bahn mi sandwiches. Looking forward to trying it!!”
“This was by far the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. First, when we walked through the door, the man at the counter was so friendly and helpful when it came to asking questions about the menu. We came to find out he was actually the owner. We sat down waiting on our food, and it was hot, fresh, and made to order. The flavor was outstanding! If you get a chance to stop by this spot, you will not be disappointed.”

“It’s a great place for older teen birthday parties and adult work bonding experiences. There’s enough games to make the children feel like children and games for adults to have fun like teenagers. There is also a bar area for adults. Expect it to be loud. So, decide if that’s your scene.”
“TL;DR: good pizza and fast service
We have been to the one in Tyson's locations,, but we finally got a chance to try this location. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor season, with a full bars with TVs as well. There are two distinct lines, one for whole pies and one for by the slice. They also have a handful of combos which is the way we went.
We got the pepperoni special (5/5) which was our favorite. The sausage and pepper (3/5) was solid but nothing special. Overall, the dough/crust was a perfect balance of crunch, chew, and substance.
Already itching to go back and try other pizzas!”
“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.”
“Took the entire family to Freddy's to get for the July lunch and noticed it would make a great vantage point to come back at night to watch fireworks. So we had a great time they are there's great food for young people in older lake The kids loved it but the star of the show was coming back later last night to watch the fireworks being launched from Fairfax high School by Fairfax City for their annual fireworks display. The parade was rained out and we feared the fireworks would be as well but they weren't a place was packed the streets were packed every place was packed but if we're nothing else check Freddy's out for the most epic spot to watch fireworks from. Everybody had a spectacular time and don't forget they're frozen custard is legit 10 out of 10 will go again next year and many times to eat there before then.”
“came here as a quick pit stop on a family trip, the whole team was very kind and accommodating. very welcoming employees, it was my sisters 3rd birthday and she got a free ice cream, Eman was very kind, and an older gentleman came up to ask us multiple times to check in overall 10/10 experience”
“Delicious drinks, serene atmosphere, and amazing staff! I ordered the passion mango sparkling ade and it was so refreshing and yummy. The cashier, Hannah, is super kind, welcoming, and made sure to assist me in every aspect of my visit. I will be sure to come back soon!”
“I love it here. I wish I took pictures. But I was just so happy the entire time I forgot. Everything about Saba is beautiful. The food is amazing. The people are kind and sweet and happy to have you there. Our waiter was Hamza. He was wonderful and helpful and so sweet. Whenever anyone asked me any question all I could say was “I’m so happy”. Because truly, everything was lovely. I cannot wait to come back. I will be telling everyone I know about my very happy experience here.”

“excellent fooood. just tried it. very gooooooooooood!!!”
“Blazin Chicken & Gyro - Fairfax exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and my order was ready much sooner than expected. The platter was loaded with flavorful chicken, perfectly cooked rice, fresh salad, and delicious sauces that tied everything together. The portions were very generous, making it an excellent value for the price. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and it's clear that the team takes pride in serving quality food and providing great customer service. I'll definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family.”
“The best little bakery you could ask for and it’s right in my neighborhood. This could be a problem. Maybe if I walk there I can burn enough calories to justify a daily cinnamon roll. And time my arrival as Max is pulling them out of the oven. Because they are sooo good. Also try the baguettes, croissants, and various pastries that seem to randomly roll out throughout the morning. Note: if you want a fat Cinnabon, go to the mall. These are cinnamon rolls with a moist, barely baked center. Apparently not everyone is a fan of the sweet gooey center. Hahaha - just pass it over here! Enjoy. (Daily?)”
“Visited 7/7/26 Customer service was excellent! Both of my stir frys no meat was added to spend less money.
The salad is tasty Not enough dressing for that size.
The food is fresh & tasty but not worth the money. The servings are small. You get more food for the same amount of money spent from Chinese & fast food restaurants.”
“I recently tried Shah’s Halal Food in Fairfax, and it was a really good experience. The food tasted fresh, flavorful, and filling. I ordered the chicken and lamb over rice platter, and the portions were generous with well-seasoned meat and tasty white sauce. The rice was fresh, and the spicy sauce added a nice kick.
The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Service was also very fast, which makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or dinner. If you enjoy New York-style halal food, this place is definitely worth trying in Fairfax.
I’d especially recommend their combo platters, gyros, and falafel. Overall, great taste, good portions, and reasonable prices.”
“We accidentally placed our order twice and the staff called to make sure we made a mistake.
This set is up to like them and the food was great! We had falafel, spicy chicken, chicken shawarma, beef shawarma and fries. The fries were delicious and didn't make it home. The sandwiches were good and as we shared them around we argued over which was best.”
“The food and service at Khans were sensational, it was my first time at Korean bbq and the staff, atmosphere and of course the food were all great. I specifically wanted to shoutout Carmelo our server, he was extremely attentive, and patient with my group and was very entertaining.”
“The food here is so awesome and full of flavor! You can even pair your entree with tons of different sauces, which makes it even better.The only thing about this place is that it's really tight on seating, and only outside seating is available. It gets super busy inside, so it can feel a bit cramped. But hey, it's all about the food, which is seriously yummy! 😆”
“Our servant Kim is great, I will definitely come back because her. An absolute standout Korean BBQ restaurant in the area! I loved the plain unmarinated beef selections best—great for clean eating and blood sugar control. Staff are super responsive to refill sides, swap grills, and adjust cooking speed. Their steam egg and stone pot bibimbap are surprisingly delicious complements to grilled meats. Perfect choice for both casual meals and big family dinners.”
“Decided to give it a try based off a lot of online hype, and was not disappointed. The gimbap was competitively priced, but fairly portioned. They have some flavor selections I had not tried before like spicy anchovy and nuts, which was delicious. Though the chicken didn’t appear to be traditional Korean fried, it was still crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, accommodations simplified to self serve utensils and beverages, which mad things convenient, ambiance felt comfortable. All in all I’d give it a thumbs and would recommend to friends and family.”
“My friend and I were so excited to try this Thai place and we were quite impressed! Their cloud strawberry matcha drink was one of the best ones I’ve had and I really enjoyed their Pad see ew! It’s a very cute location too with a nice atmosphere when it’s not super busy. Will definitely return and recommend to friends who like matcha and Thai food.”
