“Excellent chicken and waffles and sandwiches. Came on a Friday night and it wasn’t crowded and service was great. Mind the heat levels though - I ordered No Heat and it was perfect for me. Interesting but not spicy. Spouse ordered mild and it was almost too hot. Amazing chicken and will be back!Kid-friendliness: Totally kid friendly!“
“Their Halal Chicken x Latin Dry Rubs x Mediterranean Spices come together so well in their BYO (Build Your Own) Chicken Bowls.I love ordering their chicken bowls with Huli chicken and then making it perfect to my taste buds with the additional sides.[[Food: 5 of 5]]Adding avocados, grilled corn, cojita cheese, feta cheese, add pita chips for crunchy chips, drizzled with their Huli Signature dressing and Jalapeno dressing for a nice kick. [[Service: 5 of 5]]I usually always order online because it's convenient for me but I have ordered in store once or twice and the staff is always nice. You can ask them for recommendations and they'll be honest of their answers.[[Ambiance]]It's quiet and there's usually no customers when I come here. It's a chill spot if you want to have a quick lunch.“
“The smiles that Amira welcomed us while ordering through drive thru was delightful after a tiring day, Thank you Amira, even my son’s words what a nice lady, in addition to the gentleman when we paid as well for the lady who handed us the food.Thank you everyone and Thank you Amira“
“Nandos ultimately has the best most tender chicken, charred taste, and greatest service. I absolutely adore the decor in the Mosaic location. It's clean and open, and I love their sauces station! I love mixing medium and hot, with some garlic sauce! Their chicken is so juicy and tender! It is definitely something I crave! The service is attentive, and they bring the table waters. As I was about to leave and ask for a box, a waiter heard me from afar or maybe he just noticed I needed one, and brought it over with a bag to carry it home. I just thought, wow how thoughtful!“
“In my 20 some years being in luxury service industry I have never seen anyone as amazing as the manager Alisa in this Chick-fi-a location. Her energy is absolutely phenomenon, her approach to her staff and customers and even the food delivery service people. She is an absolute gem!!! We have a 3 year old daughter and usually go to chick-fil-a location with a playground, hands down this location will be on top of our list thank to Alisa and her team!!! Thank you so much for everything you do, like i said the world needs more people like Alisa!!!Kid-friendliness: This location does have a play area for the kids!“
“Ellie Bird has been on our list to try since they opened. Like their sister restaurant Rooster & Owl, the menu is both refined and rustic, with an emphasis on small plates great for sharing. We went for dinner and ordered the bread basket, spring green salad, Vietnamese french onion soup, salted cod rangoons, pomelo larb, braised lamb shank and chocolate cake. The pineapple buns are a carry over from Rooster & Owl that I’d happily eat with every meal. The Vietnamese french soup is aptly named, a wonderful combination of richly aromatic braised oxtail broth reminiscent of a fabulous pho with the oniony, cheesy, crouton goodness of a classic french onion. The rangoons are a perfect execution of an American Thai staple and the pomelo larb burst with flavor. The lamb shank, expertly cooked and glazed, was easily split between the two of us and sat on a bed of herbaceous tabouleh.A delay in getting us to our seats at the chefs counter resulted in several comped plates throughout the meal and we were very grateful for the above and beyond. The asparagus and pine berry salad added to our starter course was a true delight, who knew they were such a good pair!I’ll be interested to see how the restaurant continues to evolve. While Rooster & Owl remains our go-to for special occasions, we will absolutely come back to Ellie Bird with friends and family in tow and certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal.“
“Hubby and I stopped here before going to the movies as we got to the mall fairly late. Luckily these guys were still open as everyone else in the food court had already closed up shop. We ended up getting 2 pieces dark chicken and fries with mo’s sauce and their garlic sauce. The chicken was actually really juicy and the sauce were good the garlic sauce is very garlic with I love but if that’s not ur jam get then might want to stand clear.“
“Tried the tenders here for the rest time. They were big, meat and very moist. They come with sliced bread and like 5 pickles. Went with extra hot, and that was hot! But it was still flavorful and I could still enjoy the meal. I wonder what Reaper would be like. They also have good milkshakes. Had the vanilla one with m&ms.“
“Customer service: 5.5/10 cashier was kind of standoffish and was reluctant to explain some menu itemsOrdered: Sando level 2, Fries lv 1, Peach tea + lemonadeSando: 10/10 never had such a well seasoned and fried chicken sandwich. I'm usually not a fan of slaw, but the slaw complimented the sandwich perfectly. Level 2 is a nice slice level and I don't see the point of going past 3.Fries: 10/10 well seasoned and fried perfectlyPeach tea is extremely sweat, lemonade just as sweet so be careful doing half and half.Overall I would return for the food.“
“Love the food from this restaurant. The quality of their food is better than some other restaurants charging twice the price. We get the bulgogi, spicy pork, mandoo, and fried chicken. We get the soy chicken because their hot chicken is too hot for me but go for it if you can handle it.“
“Tasty Korean bowls and more. The environment isn't too much to rave about, but the team there were very nice. The dining area can get tight considering how popular this place can get. This location and others share a small parking lot out front. We chose this location for its proximity to Fort Belvoir. You will order food and drinks at the counter and get a buzzer while they fix your food. I was hungry enough for a full size bowl, but they have lunch bowls which are smaller and more economical for those that do t want to fill up I ordered a spicy pork bowl, which had japchae, lettuce, spicy pork over a bowl of rice. I also ordered it with an egg. It was great and filling. I also tried out their sliders, which can be made out of any of the meats available, but I got a bulgogi slider which came with two mini burgers. It was all great. So good, my friend and her husband returned the very next day.“
“Food was delicious!! It was freshly fried, crispy and juicy. I got sweet onion and hot red pepper. The place was very neat in appearance. Great to dine in and also to go! The server was kind and amazing to us. I would come back for sure next time :)) One of best Korean chicken experience.“

“We were out and decided we wanted Chinese food and found this spot so stopped over. The owner, great. So friendly and while we waited for our food, we noticed she knew everyone coming in! We asked to alter our meals a bit and she said SURE! She was more than happy to accommodate to make the customer happy. Such great customer service and food was delicious. Well be back.“
“Chicken sando was so good. I got the mild and it was just enough spice to taste and not over run the flavor. Pickles were crisps and the sause was the perfect amount. It is a larger than I expected sandwich so definitely worth the 10$ I spent. My husband got the Korean wings which were flavorful but a little soggy in my opinion for a wet sauce. But the taste and chicken made up for that. Both meals the chicken itself was moist and flavored. I will definitely be back.“
“We were craving fried chicken and this place has both fried chicken and natural and hormone free. The menu has the options for the level of heat and we can only handle mild. The price for the sandwiches are $11 just for a sandwich and fries are another $5.00 so if you get a meal with a drink and fries the total for lunch will be around $20.00. Overall the taste is good but a little too expensive for a quick meal.“
“This location is exceptional! Our group of 9 came during a lunch hour rush yet we were still met with welcoming employees, lovely service, quick delivery, and a very clean atmosphere. A special Thank you to Teeana, Sean, and Shawn! Can’t wait to come back!“
“Some great food the 1/2 chicken and chips is one of my favorite sous the peri-peri chicken bowl is a nother favorite if mine,the grilled corn great. Very friendly staff very clean and safe. They follow all c19 precautions. A very good location of this chain of restaurant and some very good food the atmosphere here is great the service is great and the food is greatParking: Plenty of parking here including handicap parkingKid-friendliness: This is kid friendly and they have a kids menu a little bitWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible handicap accessible tables and entry and restrooms“
“I recently dined at this chicken restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolutely clucking amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of perfectly seasoned chicken filled the air, making my mouth water in anticipation.The menu offered a wide variety of chicken dishes, from crispy fried chicken to succulent grilled options. I couldn't resist trying their signature fried chicken, and it exceeded my wildest poultry dreams. The crispy exterior gave way to tender, juicy meat that practically melted in my mouth.But it wasn't just the chicken that impressed me. The sides were equally outstanding, with creamy mashed potatoes, buttery cornbread, and fresh coleslaw that complemented the main course perfectly.The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure every detail of our meal was just right. The cozy ambiance added to the overall charm of the place, making it a great spot for a family dinner or a casual date night.I can't stop raving about this chicken restaurant to all my friends and family. If you're a chicken enthusiast like me, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed. This place truly knows how to turn a simple chicken into a culinary masterpiece!“
“Choong Man is better than Bonchon hands down! I love their garlic soy because they make it spicy and it's always so crispy! The ambience is so cute with twinkling lights on the ceiling. It has a darker interior for more intimate setting. Their chicken is just TOO GOOD!“
“Amazing hot chicken. The loaded fries was just perfect. The chicken burger was also very juicy and tasty. Only thing was the ‘medium’ spice level was very spicy, and I have a very high spice tolerance. 10/10 chicken. Only downside is that the food takes very long to be ready. We waited 20-30 min and the place was empty.Vegetarian options: No vegetarian optionsParking: It’s full on some days but usually it’s easy to find parking“
“Best fried chicken place in town. I visited here during lunch hour. I tried French delight for an appetizer and their new bbq signature rice bowl. Was little spicy but with mayo and rice, it was great! Their atmosphere is nice and clean. It was busy during lunchtime, but the server who served us was friendly.“
“Lol this an inside joke in regards to my ex. Answers are based off words which would've described the relationship "take out, other, SIDE salad, wheelchair, dietary restrictions" ... Jesus.. ànyway, chic fil a you're awesome!!!“
“Got the Hangry Hot wings. Crispy breaded and not wet wings. Different than what I've had in Nashville. 'Lip' spicy, not deep spicy. No waiver required as it stated on the website for the hottest. If you are any kind of seasoned hot sauce lover, this is not hot. It's decent, but not super hot.“
“Went to this place originally when I was living in SA it was awesome. So nice to see they have this chain now in the United States. Food is very good, seasoning make it so flavorful and sides are very tasty as well. It’s nice they have the sauce bar in the dining area.“

“This was my wife's and I first time trying Hangry Joes! This is also a brand new location in Alexandria / Annandale area off of Little River Turnpike and we have to say first impressions WE LOVED THE INSIDE of the restaurant it new, it live, it's interesting and even put some of our favorite DC skyline in there too! This is a new building in the area and it was easy to get to and into the parking lot too! Getting your order in is easy as the have two digital kiosk's to place your order with an easy to navigate digital menu, they accept all forms of payment from Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, CC and debit cards. We were able to navigate the while menu and place our order in about 5-6 minutes since it was our first time we think that was great! Now the food first impressions IT SMELLS AMAZING! Like fresh fried chicken and the spices are WOW top it off with a lot of flavor. My wife and I got the 24 piece with in mild and lemon pepper, funnel fries, fries and fried okra! This was a great combination of flavors and WOW the mild has a lot of zing to it! Nice and spicy and IT CAN GET HOTTER they have a lot of levels of spice to offer from ghost pepper, habanero, hot and even down to just a bell pepper level hot. It is definitely a wide choice of flavors! The funnel fries are WOW just like funnel cake! Delicious and crispy for sure the season fries and fried okra is a great compliment to the chicken and they even give a little bit of sauces to go with the chicken DEFINITELY use the sauce to cover the chicken it is worth it! So if you're looking for something new in Alexandria / Annandale area this place is a MUST try! My wife and I will definitely be back soon :)“
“Just a donut review. Lots of unique varieties to choose from. All but one seemed fresh and delicious-could they actually be a day old? The cherry blossom was excellent and fresh. Service friendly but there's not much to taking an order and handing it over . Small place by Whole Foods- plenty of parking. They have breakfast sandwiches and fried chicken- have to try that at some point. $24/6 donuts. Mostly worth it for a special occasion!“
“First time ordering from this restaurant and I’m sad I didn’t find them before as it was so good. General sos was the best I’ve ever had, real pieces of chicken and not just breading and mystery meat inside. The sauce was SOO good and homemade. Lo mein was delicious as was the chicken and broccoli. I picked up but saw they have free delivery. Very nice and inside seemed very clean. 100% recommend to anyone looking for quick, delicious, real food.“
“Spin Pollo is absolutely one of the best pollo a la brasa I had in the Us. I was incredibly wowed because the place is very little but they serve really good pollo a la brasa. Chicken is juicy, well prepared, potatoes are just like in Perú, cut, fresh, fried there not industrialized potatoes, sauces are good. Even one time my husband brought me chicken from falls church to Miami and the chicken was impecable. Love this place!“
“Food was really tasty although presentation in the warming area was not the best. They offered three different types of rice but the person behind the counter didn't have a good understanding of the differences to describe them. Definitely a take out place, and it was within walking distance to a hotel I was staying in.“
“This is my daughter's favorite place to go. Their fried chicken is the "best" and she can eat it every week. It's crunchy and a decent amount of heat. And no joke, we go there a few times a month. We order online through their website via Toast and earn points for each transaction. We frequent enough that we've earned many points. We always take it to go because the place is quite small and has very limited seating. It's built to be more of a grab-and-go than a sit-and-dine. But the service is excellent and the food is nom.“
“This used to be my go-to place in high school for Chinese-American food and I hadn't been back in a while, but tonight I decided to check them out for the nostalgia factor. I got a General Tso's and combination aka the china king fried rice and would highly recommend them on the menu. Go visit this small business if you want Chinese American food and are in the area“
“My friend and I meet there almost every week for several hours. We are welcomed by the team, never asked to leave, occasionally a team member will come out and ask if we want refills for our drinks and one of the managers always remembers I substitute Mac and cheese for French fries. We love it there.“
“I must say this is a great CFA. The people are friendly, the food is fresh, and the service is quick. There is always a line and yet it seems to always move faster than I expect.Kid-friendliness: The playscape is back open! The kids meals are great. And I appreciate watching the staff give extra help to those with small children like refill their drinks, take their trash, etc.“
“I always come to Check Fil at Chantilly Shopping Centre, where Leyan displays great customer service. Her warm welcome, product knowledge, and genuine recommendations consistently make my visits enjoyable. I always wanted to get her name, yet I was lucky to do so yesterday. Whether dining in or using the drive-through, Leyan's qualities deserve recognition. She truly enriches my experience at Chick-fil , keeping me satisfied. keep up the good work.Kid-friendliness: NA“
“Consistently good service along with hot and fresh food, what else could you ask for? A Latino gentleman who wears glasses (I'll get his name next time and update) who I believe is a manager is always particularly nice to me as well. Even when I come in as a doordash driver instead of a customer he offers me a water cup and is very friendly. Great place.“
“Today I came to this chick fil a and I accidentally threw away my card, and one of the workers named Kai was nice enough to look for it and I appreciate that because not anyone would do that and that goes to show that he’s a good hard working man and he made me experience at this chick fil a better.?“
“The good:Chicken was a really big portion (twice the size of a Chick-fil-A patty)Chicken was hot! (temperature) even after a 5 minute drive homeThe spice is mixed into the batter, rather than being a sauce, and the Medium is pretty spicy, which is a refreshing change.Waffle fries were really tasty!The not so good:The "Hangry Sauce" is basically Chipotle mayo. I asked if it was mayo based, and was told no. I really dislike mayo, and it was slathered all over the patty. Even after wiping it off, it was too much.The fries are somewhere between a small and a medium, a couple more would've been appreciated.The pickles are really thick, but you only get two on your sandwich. A 50% thinner cut with an extra pickle or two would've gone a long way on getting the taste on every biteI'll definitely go back, but will probably try the Chicken Waffles instead of the sandwich. I don't like coleslaw or mayo, which seemed to be the big draw for the sandwich.“
