“Small unassuming entrance to a transformative culinary experience. Fantastic mood and vibe. Stellar service. Food and drink selection rotates and is incredible. Worth the elevated dining experience in Hilton Village.”
“My husband and I had a lunch date here with our baby. We wanted to try something new and he never had Korean BBQ before. Everything was so good and the atmosphere is super cool. On one wall they have a big screen playing Kpop videos and on the other are several screens with Korean cooking videos. My little one really enjoyed it. Our waiter was so kind and helpful and recommended some great options to my husband. I'm looking forward to coming here again with our teens. They'll love it.”
“Indoor dining with romantic atmosphere. Excellent staff and very attentive.”
“We have been eating here for a while and it’s only ever gotten better. The staff isn’t just help, they are kind and friendly, very attentive and prompt. Even the kitchen staff was more than happy to answer question about how they make the rice (we had to know because it’s the best rice!). For the price, you simply can’t find a better meal. I’m able to eat hot pot, hibachi, and kbbq all at the same time! Also, their appetizers are outstanding!! 10/10 highly recommend and always will!!”

“Do not get the sample dozen box if you don't want to be plagued with learning that what you thought was your favorite donut is not because you've tried something new! If you don't like friendly customer service, don't talk to Mike. He will make sure to try and get you what you want and then some. And... if you like to search for donut filling this is not the place for you. It is not possible to not get some in every bite. If you are weak, bring a friend to help you carry these absurdly heavy, heavenly things. But if you do, you will risk having to share with them, so choose your person wisely. So bottom line that no thanks to you, I have found my new favorite donut shop ❤️ Well done guys! I'm so glad you are not on the way to my work as I would surely struggle to not stop there daily!”

“We stopped here during a visit to Yorktown. The food and atmosphere were excellent but the best part was our server Chrissy! She was attentive, fun and showed she really cares about the business and customer experience. She was very busy but I watched her give each table attention! We had a great time thanks to her!”
“There is a dedicate page for the vegan choices! Very delicious and the service is so friendly. Don’t let the outside scare you away. It’s great on the inside. Very authentic all around. They recommend typically take your spice level one done as that’s also authentic.”
“Amazing fresh food! Friendly staff! Great prices, quality and atmosphere!”

“Knowledge staff and delicious food. The fish of the day was fresh and well prepared. They were conscious about what silverware was needed for each course and set the table accordingly. It was well paced between drinks, appetizers, entree, and dessert. Would recommend it for a casual meal or celebration.”
“OMG the food and service is AMAZING! I ordered the chicken tenders and let me tell you: sooooo freaking good! I wish all restaurants made their chicken tenders and fries like this. i even ordered empandas and their carrot cake to go. My husband and I are already planning the next time we go. Such friendly people and atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“My son went there for mother/date night. Oh my God I can’t put into words how delicious the food is! The staff are very friendly and helpful with the menu. Food takes a while to come out but it’s worth it because it’s made very fresh! Drinks are off da chain! Support this Dominican business!!! Can’t wait to celebrate my 50th birthday party here!”

“Even though it was Father’s Day and IHOP was extremely busy, Deven really stood out because of her sense of urgency and positive attitude. She was upfront and let us know that there would be a wait before our food arrived, which we appreciated because it helped set our expectations. The food was good when it finally came out, and throughout the entire experience, Deven remained friendly, attentive, and professional. Thank you, Deven, for making a hectic holiday brunch enjoyable for our family. Great service goes a long way!”
“The food was good, but it took some back and forth for them to get my order right. They did eventually and it was tasty. I was surprised by how expensive it was but that's how things are these days. Might be good to download the app or find some coupons. Getting out of the parking lot is a little tricky because the roads around are busy, but the location is really convenient, so that's a fair trade off.”
“The wait staff was above and beyond on jun, 27th. The man who served my meal was very flamboyant and sweet . The playground area was wiped down right in front of my eyes. The cleaning man was also very kind .
Food was hot and order was correct . I also love that they finally added Mac sauce to the kiosk , because sometimes it's hard to get. I usually come to this McDonald regularly and I pick this over other ones in the area.”
“I came thru this morning and had been having a ROUGH WEEK! No sooner had I pulled into the drive thru I heard a warm welcoming “ GOOD MORNING THIS IS MS. Jean” … did my day turn around. She asked me how I was, she promptly and politely took my order and my mood lifted instantly. Thank you Ms. Jean ( and also thank you to the wonderful polite man who gave me my order as he is also very warm and professional) for making my morning just a little better. Simple kindness goes a long way. 🥰”
“Our experience was SUPER fun! Jeff our waiter… PHENOMENAL!! Food was fresh and did not disappoint!!”

“The crepes at the German Christmas market were a huge hit with my kids. My son says he can only describe it with one word, deliciousness!”
“1700 in Newport News is an absolute gem. Stopped in for a flight and left borderline obsessed. Every pour was a winner, the vibe was on point, and the owners? So lovely we almost asked to be adopted— still open to it. This place has heart, style, and seriously good beer. We’ll be back — probably too often.”
“When i say this restaurant was an experience it cannot fully encompass just how beautifully delicious this blessing of a meal was. I got the chicken katsu Ramen, friends roll, and the tofu it was genuinely one of the best meals ive ever eaten in my life. If I myself could give this place a michelin star I would in a heartbeat. Our waitress was excellent, very nice!”

“Cookies are always fresh, the staff are super fast and friendly even when it seems like it’s packed or busy. The store is always very very clean which is important especially when you are buying food from a place. Overall just a 10/10 experience.

“Had lunch here for the first time today. Met a group of old friends. The wait staff was very attentive and accommodating to all of us. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their selections and most of us had enough that we had to take some home. One even ordered more food to go. We will definitely go back. Thankyou for a great experience. 💕”
“Jose is a comfortable atmosphere to come to eat tasty foods and enjoy great drinks.”
“The local feel is great! There was. Lot of space and a cool food truck out front which I don’t know if it was associated to the brewery or not. The staff was very knowledgeable and offered great advise and steered me to some local drinks that I really enjoyed. Good vibes and a clean place!”
“Outstanding Korean food! We just had another fabulous meal with superior service. Could not have been better. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, & perfectly prepared. Server remembered us and went above and beyond. With everything going on with this family run business they are still putting out world class food.”

“I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on the Avocado Chicken Bacon Wrap I recently tried. It was exceptionally fresh and truly delicious, exceeding my expectations. The combination of flavors was delightful and left me very satisfied. Thank you for offering such a wonderful dish. I look forward to enjoying more of your menu in the future. HDR”
“I stopped by the Subway station on Warwick Blvd after having one of the worst days I’ve had in a long time. Everything felt stressful, and honestly I just wanted something quick before heading home. But the moment I walked in, the smell of the fresh bread instantly reminded me of being back home as a kid when my family would make sandwiches together after long days.
The staff was incredibly kind and patient, and they made my sandwich perfectly. Something as simple as a warm toasted sandwich somehow completely changed my mood. It sounds dramatic, but for a little while it felt comforting and familiar when I really needed that feeling.
It wasn’t just good food — it felt like a small reminder that bad days don’t last forever. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had at a Subway, and I’ll absolutely be coming back whenever I need a taste of home.”

“Port Arthurs is my favorite Chinese Restaurant. I love the fact that they are locally owned and have been here for as long as I can remember . They are a staple in Newport News and never disappoint.

“The wings were alright but the calamari tentacles were a bit off-putting, seemed like a chill laid back place with a decent drink selection. I'd go back to try other food items.”

“the food was simply amazing 👏 the ladies working were super sweet!!. they did their thing today out in williamsburg!”
“Our first time there, 5/10/24. My wife had the club sandwich and I had the Cubana. While our order was being prepared we both had a cappuccino. My wife could only eat half her sandwich. I should have also saved half of mine, I was stuffed. Way better in quantity and price than Panera. We split a piece of cinnamon streusel coffee cake and several cups of coffee. (free refills). The atmosphere was like eating in an old fashioned dinning room in a B&B. They have so much more to offer than I can put in this review. Try them out soon, I'm sure you'll be as pleased as we were.”
“Perfect venue for gathering, birthday parties for 20! The service was excellent, the food was delicious. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend. Our server was comical and sweet. Thank you.”

“The food was fantastic. Even the waitress was wonderful ❣️❣️❣️”

“I love the food the food is delicious to gives you a nice size portion and you get your money's worth will definitely recommend this to other people”
“As a professional big back I rarely give 5 stars across the board. For a chain restaurant, it was AMAZING. The steak melts in your mouth, cooked perfectly medium rare.
Service was fantastic. I don't remember our server's name, but she was on point; very courteous and professional.
Guys, try the parmesian crust. Trust me.”
“I ordered pizza 🍕 earlier today 05/06/26 around 4:35 pm after work because I was starving and I got home with my pizza 🍕 and it was dry, not enough sauce on it 🤦♀ but I had no choice but to eat it because I live in downtown Newport News and the store is a little ways uptown 🤷♀”
“Fabulous!!!! New favorite sushi place with fantastic prices!!! Staff is super nice. Must try! And several vegetarian/vegan options.”

“I like this place; the only issue I had was that you put an appetizer 15 minutes before you place your meal. you get both at the same time. making it make sense l had tell the waitress if comes out the same time as meal. What's the purpose of order a appetizers if you're going to bring out with the meal is my question”

“Everything gets really good what's up for sometimes they use a little too much salt. But I think that's where a lot of places are going nowadays. I think it's best that most restaurants cut out using so much salt because you can always add but you can't take away. Then you'll have to go get your food redone because it's too salty. But I just love it I love the place the atmosphere the service, just cut back on the salt. ❤”
“11/13/2022 Lunch with friends today. As always food was hot and cooked to our liking. Never disappointed. Today it was especially good. The Super Young Lady we had as a Server, her name was Rachel was an absolute pleasure!! All of us said the same thing. Attentive. Super Personality and just couldn’t have been any sweeter. We all brag about the food; but Young People like this deserve recognition and hopefully Management let’s her know how much we enjoyed the food, but she was the highlight of the meal. Excellent Job Young Lady!!”

“Definitely a 5 star experience. The food, staff, the restaurant as a whole, amazing. Will definitely come here again. And will come here with friends next time so we can all experience this together! they sure know how to season and cook their steaks to perfection!”
“Writing this almost a week late ahhhlalala. Food was super yummy for a mall restaurant, especially if you love heavy, filling, and very messy food (it will be DROWNED in sauce or cheese) Def worth my money. BUT!!!!! The main reason I wanted to write this was to give a huge compliment to Stella I believe her name was on the register? By far the kindest and most engaging employee I've had the pleasure of interacting with in the food court. She had something nice to say to each of my friends in line including myself, even off the register, catching me I was walking around 💕 Honestly a passed vibe check for the whole staff, my buddy told me when he went back up there for his fries, the guy showed off his pokemon binder LOL
Always bet on wayback burger for lunch dude, so underrated”
“Got there at about 1030 and left at around 1110. You have to understand the foods good. Portions aren't head sized burgers. You're getting a nice burger that is quality over quantity. It wasn't packed with people which is good. We waited about 20 minutes for our food but it was worth the wait honestly. If you're not pressed for time, take a moment and have a nice burger. Tastes better than most of the other places around here. Staff was great too. If you want good food it takes time to make. This place isn't McDonald's microwave drive through.”
“My fiancé and I got the Thai shrimp and the pig and fig flatbread pizza, and both were absolutely amazing! One of the best meals out we’ve had in a long time”
