“Psst! Despite the name, the hidden 💎 on the menu is Bun Dau Mam Tom. It's the best in DMV because of the super yummy dipping sauce (I would drink it if not for high blood pressure 😀) and everything on the tray arrive hot, crunchy, and steamy 😋”

“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.”
“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.”
“We have enjoyed going to The Wine House- locally owned- for years. We celebrated our anniversary this past weekend with my folks- who have many food restrictions. The gluten-free menu was great! Thank you for a lovely dining experience.”
“I’m from South Carolina and this place can compete with the restaurants in Charleston!!!! Try it. You’ll love it!”
“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!”

“Born and raised in Japan, I am pretty judgmental when it comes to any establishments claiming to be “Japanese.”
I had miso soup ($4), Toro Bowl ($28) and hot tea ($3).
Toro Bowl: I was not impressed, but definitely this dish was not disgusting like some other fake Japanese restaurants serve. Ikura wasn’t the freshest, and the three sheets of nori (sea weeds) were stale (thus making it chewy rather than crispy) and tasted very cheep. Overall it was “Okay”
Miso soup: I was pleasantly surprised with how they have used decent amount of dashi in their soup (like how they do it in Japan), giving it an authentic twist. The soup was flavorful and I enjoyed it.
Tea: this was another pleasant surprise to receive what it mocked as Genmai-cha (tea with roasted rice bits in it). Well done.
From what you get in DMV area, I’d give a 4 stars or even 4.5 stars. As an overall “Japanese” izakaya, I’d put this in 3 stars range.”
“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.”
“Food was amazing, server was excellent, great ambiance. Made a reservation ahead of time for our party of 5. When we arrived the hostess told us they could not seat us in a booth (there were 3 empty large booths) because they were reserved for a large parties. Within 5 minutes of being sat at a table, they sat 2 separate parties of 2 in the booths. Didn't really care about sitting in a booth but didn't appreciate being lied to. I did mention this to the manager who was apologetic and offered to move us. I told him we were totally fine at our table, I just wanted him to know they had lied about it. Didn't expect or ask for anything I just wanted him to be aware. He did end up comping one of our appetizers, apologizing, and speaking to the hostess.”
“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!”
“Pho Saigon 75 is a go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. The Bún Bò Huế is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy with tender beef shank and pig knuckle. The grilled clams are a must-try — smoky, juicy, and topped with a savory mix of scallions, peanuts, and buttery fish sauce. Fast, friendly service and a clean, welcoming space make it even better. Highly recommend!”
“My sister and I really enjoyed the calamari, cucumber salad, braised beef and noodle soup and garlic green beans. I rate those 5 stars. We also ordered the ugly dumplings sampler, I rate this zero star and it a waste of money. Now the service was excellent! Our server Abel took his time explaining the menu since it's our first visit. He was always smiling, courteous and respectful.”

“In Rio Grande Valley border towns, this South Texas chain is famous for its breakfast tacos with homemade tortillas. For maximum effect, go first thing in the morning when everything is fresh, order at the counter, and ask for your tacos con frijoles, papas (potato), y huevos (3 egg options were w/ chorizo, sausage and “a la Mexicana”). They’ll smear a spoonful of frijoles on the tortilla and then load it up with everything else. I’d also get salsa and pico de gallo, but on the side so it doesn’t get everything soggy. 2 tacos are enough for most people. They’re pretty big. I’d say the ones in the RGV are still on another level, but this is still doubtless the best breakfast tacos in NoVA, and I’m glad to have them when I’m craving something authentic. I was stunned when I realized this staple of my hometown had several locations here. They should probably limit their hours to early afternoon to focus on breakfast / lunch until they grow enough business out here. I think once it catches on, it’ll be yet another DC-area place with long lines.”
“Great, go to place for consistent service and quality food!”
“Beautiful chic modern Chinese restaurant with authentic classic cuisine as well as innovative new ones! Very impressed by soup dumplings and beef Chow Fun. It is my favorite Chow Fun I've had in Northern Virginia thus far.”

“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!”

“A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Sandwich Lovers De Clieu, a charming coffee and sandwich shop tucked away in the heart of Old Town Fairfax has quickly become my go-to spot for a perfect cup of coffee and sandwich when I'm in the area. Coffee and Organic Teas: (5/5) De Clieu's coffee, Organic Tea and drink options are nothing short of exceptional. Their baristas are clearly passionate about their craft, as every cup is brewed with precision and care, from their Drip, French Press, Chemex pour overs and Organic Teas. The espresso is rich and full-bodied, and they offer premium roasted beans and brewing methods to cater to every palate. I've tried their lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and cold brews, and I've never been disappointed. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just enjoy a good cold brew, De Clieu has you covered. Sandwiches Plus: (5/5) The sandwiches, bakery items, and Gelato at De Clieu are a delightful surprise. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, each bite is a burst of flavor. I've worked my way through much of their menu, and each creation has been more delicious than the last. From the Spicy Swine and Honey Bread to the inventive vegetarian options, there's something for everyone. The bread is always perfectly toasted, and the combinations of flavors and textures are superb. Overall Impression: (5/5) De Clieu is a coffee and sandwich shop that embodies all the qualities I look for in a great café. It's a place that combines exceptional coffee, delectable sandwiches, sides, and a welcoming atmosphere, all at a price that won't leave your wallet empty. Whether you're a regular looking for your daily caffeine fix or a traveler seeking a local gem, Delieu is the answer. It's clear the owner takes pride in what they do and how they train their team, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I'm excited to see it thrive and become a beloved part of the community. There are ample parking options available in the vicinity as well.”
“Sushi Cho is a fantastic spot for sushi lovers, offering both freshness and creativity. The rolls are beautifully presented with vibrant toppings like tuna, salmon, mango, and even jalapeños, giving each bite a unique twist. The sashimi platter was also generous and incredibly fresh, with melt-in-your-mouth quality.
One thing to note is that the restaurant space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit tight when it’s busy. However, the cozy atmosphere adds to the charm, making it a nice spot for casual dining or a quick sushi fix.
Service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience pleasant overall. Despite the limited space, the quality of food and presentation makes Sushi Cho absolutely worth a visit.”
“Andrew worked super hard providing superb service for our table of 8 people tonight. He hustled big time. He stayed on top of removing finished plates from our table and changing our grills to clean ones. He replenished our orders quickly and offered ice-cream at the end of our meal. He returned to our table often asking if we needed anything. Fantastic customer service!”
“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.”

“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!”
“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!”
“That rare, uncompromising kind of quality you almost never find.
A sanctuary for specialty coffee—where you can discover its nuances, talk with an owner who’s always open to conversation, and leave with freshly roasted beans singing of their origin.
Thank you to the team, and to Hae, for creating this place.”
“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”
“Cafe Right Angle is such a cool little spot! The vibe is super chill and the food totally hits the mark—fresh, tasty, and honestly so satisfying. I grabbed a sandwich and a smoothie, and both were awesome. The staff were really friendly and made everything feel easy and welcoming. Perfect for a quick bite or a laid-back hangout. Definitely gonna be coming back here!”
“Order from their website for the first time. Food was ready on time. Sadly I was given steak fries instead of the yucca I ordered. In the future I will check my order for accuracy before leaving the store. The red potatoes were delicious. The chicken was very flavorful and not dried out.”

“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!”

“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”
“Pan AM Family Restaurant gets all stars from me. Their meals, especially their Gyro platters and sandwiches are the best across the State. I have eaten there many times with my family and friends, and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend the delicious food, fantastic atmosphere and especially the detail to service and smiles. It’s worth every dollar and you will leave happy, full and wanting to come back. Great job !! Great Food !! Great Service !!”
“If you’re looking to try some authentic Vietnamese snack or boba style street food, you have to check this place out!
It’s one of my favorite spot. I love their house made toppings which I can’t find anywhere else (especially chestnut boba, and khuc bach). I highly recommend their Lemongrass Peach Tea, Milo Egg Flan, Thai Lime Green Tea, and Milk Tea TomTom 2. For food, you should try Bánh Tráng Trộn and Bánh Mì Nướng Muối Ớt. You won’t be disappointed, definitely worth it.
I come here almost twice a week even though I live 35 mins away. Great foods and drinks and the owners are super nice too.”
“The food was delicious . I really enjoyed the fried yucca. It was light and crispy for yucca fries. I really enjoy the chicken, it was flavorful and juicy. The fried rice could have been a little better. It was sitting in the warmer for a while, so it was a bit on the dry side. Overall, great place to have something quick and convenient.”

“The crab fried rice is literally the reason my husband and I travel over an hour away for! We live in Maryland and make the drive each time because it’s so flavorful and a great portion size.
Their drunken noodles are also delicious with your choice of protein. The decor is very pretty, and it feels like a fine dining experience. Highly recommend!”

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.”

“The food at Ted's Bulletin NEVER disappoints! From the delicious chicken and biscuits...which were a delightful diet cheat and was big enough for leftovers, to the yummy steak frites! Thank you for allowing us to celebrate my birthday and enjoy all the great menu items delivered promptly and courteously by Aiden!!”
“"Our server Tulin was very helpful and attentive. Please send her our thanks. She also made great recommendation for desert. We appreciate that she bought us an appetizer and desert as it was my birthday. Tulin went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our time together.”
“Made a reservation for a high top table which put us on the bar side of the restaurant staff was very welcoming and we had an assortment of appetizers-all were delicious. Bar side has a better vibe.”

“My son love them. He loved their food. He loved their service. He loved the music the table their style I love everything about Olive Gardening he forced me to go there every week twice”
“The vegan crepes were really tasty!! Friendly staff, loved the smoothies.!”
“I think was the perfect choice for us newbies. We were seeking to try many different types of whiskeys and this was the place. Sergei (hope that’s correct) was more than accommodating and explained the flights to us along with the type of whiskey. He also gave recommendations. He was very busy with other customers as we believe it was just him and chef at opening. It was quiet since we went before happy hour. The food was good! We are definitely coming back to try a third or fourth flight or whiskey. The Whiskey 201 flights has a Japanese Whiskey 🥃 that is 😍”
“First time guest Oct 28, 2025 lunch time. Great service. Food was so good. I had the Mason pulled pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich was huge. I had to eat a lot of the pork with my fork first to get the sandwich to a reasonable size to bite 😂 the sandwich had slaw, pickles and an onion ring. It was really delicious!! The fries were crispy and not greasy. I’m a fry lover I approved 😜 I really love the atmosphere, decor, design and seating options. Absolutely going back soon!”
“as a regular, the authentic Chengdu laziji (spicy chicken) congxiang yu (scallion fish) and ziran yang (cumin lamb) are my go to favorites”
“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!”
“Great all-you-can-eat menu. Have been here many times and have not been disappointed. You can order food here through iPads and there is an area to get sauces. There is a 90-minute time limit per group, but it is fair because of other people waiting.”
“Affordable AYCE KBBQ with big variety of meat choices! And they give lots of different side dishes as well!”
“Interesting “northern”Chinese food. Different from the regular Chinese food”
“A great Sushi restaurant. Must try ,! Delicious food, nicely decorated clean and very friendly service. Many different choices. Can not wait to go back.”
“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.”
“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.”
“A great option for buffet sushi. All of the options are fresh and the buffet is kept very clean. Dinner is pricey but there are some premium options available. Lunch is a better value if sushi is your main focus.”
“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.”
“Reliably good food! As of last night, I have a new obsession: CARROT CAKE!! It was the BEST carrot cake I've ever had! I only ate about half last night and woke up today still thinking about it. Sunday breakfast? The rest of the slice!!”
“We tried Pho Kim and the Kim rice platter, both were very delicious. This restaurant has a pleasant ambience and the service is top-notch. We'll be back soon to try other dishes.”
“Great food and great service if you are looking for a great meal ! $ Lychee Martinis are the best !! Gotta try it when you are there !”
“Many thanks to Max and everyone at Ornery Public House in Fairfax City for helping my wife give me a great party.”
“The fish and ingredients are very fresh. The restaurant has been open for 10 years and the prices are very favorable. It is a conscientious merchant with a very good experience,”
“Loved the hotpot, cumin beef, spicy boiled fish fillets, sautéed any vegetables, braised beef soup noodles, pig ear appetizer. You can ask for less oil and less salt. Will be back to try other dishes!”
“Love it. I can.actually.taste the ginger and beets and that's important. I will continue to purchase more from Costco.”
“One of my favorite Korean restaurants in the area! Food is great quality and portion is big for the price. Service could be better, they seem to be short staffed, but as a new place I hope that will get better with time.”
“The food here is fantastic and so is the service. I love the ambiance with the books, the bar and the tv screen for sports. Great restaurant!”
“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.”
“My new favorite spot!!! Everything was great, I can't wait to go back”
“I’ve had a wonderful experience with purchasing food items at European gourmet deli. Especially I would like to notice one of the associate Larisa Khomenko. Who was phenomenal in introducing new products. Loved her service. And European gourmet and deli in general. Great experience.!”
“Never tried their food before but was intrigued by the Nashville hot wings. So I ordered curbside pickup of some boneless wings and beer. Service was prompt. And when I got home food was hot and wet was cold. The wings though. They were juicy and incredibly delicious. Best I’ve had. I will definitely be ordering again.”
“Great service, the food was on time and prepared correctly. It was very clean. I’d definitely return!!”
“Great place to go for a drink at the end of the day Gretchen does a great job bartending must try the Black Moon very good!”

“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!”
“We were just there last weekend, and our family has been going to brunch there for many years. We usually have an omelet with home fries and toast or waffles deluxe with eggs, sausage or bacon and have never been disappointed. And note that the homemade baklava and the tiramisu are delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, we are usually waited on quickly and the staff is friendly, warm and responsive.”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“The best banana pudding milkshake out of any place we've been to, and it's not even close. The California burger was amazing and perfectly made. This is a must-try place, especially if you've never been before! It was our first time, and we absolutely loved it! The only issue was the size of the fries; they are on the smaller side, but that did not affect the taste. We just wished they were bigger.”
“We came for the bottomless brunch on a Sunday afternoon. I don’t know what was better, the food or the service. Caitlyn, our server, was amazing. Everything from taking our orders, to checking in on us periodically, to just having conversations with us about the food. We got the seafood scramble, catfish and grits, and thick cut brioche, and wings Everything was 100/10. We also tried every cocktail on the bottomless drink menu and they were amazing! Can’t recommend this place for brunch and Caitlyn enough!!!”
“That rare, uncompromising kind of quality you almost never find.
A sanctuary for specialty coffee—where you can discover its nuances, talk with an owner who’s always open to conversation, and leave with freshly roasted beans singing of their origin.
Thank you to the team, and to Hae, for creating this place.”

“My sister and I really enjoyed the calamari, cucumber salad, braised beef and noodle soup and garlic green beans. I rate those 5 stars. We also ordered the ugly dumplings sampler, I rate this zero star and it a waste of money. Now the service was excellent! Our server Abel took his time explaining the menu since it's our first visit. He was always smiling, courteous and respectful.”
“Have you been to the new Coldstone Creamery that opened this summer in Fair City Mall (corner of Main Street and Pickett)?? WOW!! It is fantastic. So many delicious flavors and combinations to choose from! The manager and his staff are extremely nice too. I highly recommend that you check it out. Definitely better than your average ice cream place!”
“If you're looking for a cozy spot that blends authentic Vietnamese flavors with a welcoming atmosphere, this Vietnamese cafe is a must-visit. I ordered a classic Cà Phê Bac Xiu(Vietnamese white coffee) and it was exactly how it should be: smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet. They also offer unique variations like coconut coffee and egg coffee, both of which are worth a try if you’re feeling adventurous. I tried their bakery as well. The pastries were incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. Cannot wait to return and try more!”
“This fast food fish restaurant serves up pretty tasty bowls. You can select your fish selection, the sauce and a side. Or you can order the combo bowls. The price is the reasonable and similar to cava or Chipotle. But they have healthy sustainable seafood. They serve wild caught fish as well as farmed fish. The protein bowl is loaded with shrimp, salmon, swai, grilled chicken. It is pretty flavorful. The salmon burrito bowl is pretty tasty as well. We also tried the rockfish on rice and it was delicious. The price is really reasonable for healthy seafood fast.”
“I’ve been putting hopes on this place since they opened and it turned out as I expected, great. Finally we got the chance to visit and try the Adani tea their as a big fan for yemeni adani tea this one was so close to what we tried before in the Middle East. The decor was very nice even the service they were nice.
And you should really try the bee bites it worth it , we really loved it . So that is your sign to visit the place, highly recommended.”
“Edit 10/26/25
Had dinner for a school fundraiser last week. We ordered tacos, flautas and a quesadilla. Everything was really good, 5 stars!
Second time ordering and will likely not give this place another try. Terribly heavy on the salt and also, who doesn't serve tacos with extra limes on the side? If it's worth anything the chicken flautas were decent.”

I was asked to revisit, and I did over the weekend. This time I went in for a late lunch around 1:40. It was less crowded, and there wasn’t a long line of frustrated customers waiting for food. My order came out much faster and tasted much better than before. It seems the new manager has really improved the process — fewer people in the kitchen and more helping out front, which made a big difference. I’ll definitely be coming back. Hopefully next time the tables will be cleaner — that part still needs some attention.
I decided to give this Fairfax City location a second try before writing a review, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t improve. Both visits were during Saturday lunch hours — the first time was packed, the second much quieter. Despite fewer customers, my order still took quite a while the first time (over 45 minutes) and came out much faster the second (about 25 minutes), though the quality didn’t quite match.
The food itself tastes good, but consistency seems to be an issue. My first visit had burnt buns; the second, a burnt patty. Not sure which is better at this point. For a burger place, the wait time feels unusually long.
I also noticed several customers looking frustrated or leaving while waiting, and tables weren’t cleaned during my second visit — I ended up wiping one down myself. Despite having plenty of staff, the operation felt disorganized.
I might try a different location, but probably not this one again.”
