“First time here on a Friday night. We had reservations that were mixed up. Even though the restaurant was expected to be full they accommodated the 6 of us. The owner came over to greet us. I told him that this was my first visit. (Everyone else had been several times) Oh then he proceeded to bring bite size samples for me to try. He then offered up suggestions as to what I need to have for an appetizer, main course and even dessert. Food bursts with flavor. But the real experience here was the service. First class. Thank you all for the dining experience.”
“Amazing gluten free food. Delicious. I thought I would never have onion rings again”
“Looking for great sushi, look no further, the best sushi around and we come from Southern MD when we want to get our eat on with GOOD sushi. The other food items you can't go wrong with them either....GOOD JOB”
“MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE ENTIRE STAFF AT MAGGIANO’s, SPRINGFIELD, VA! There are not enough word in the dictionary to describe my experience in Maggiano’s! From the time I make reservations through walking through the front door of the restaurant, the service, the managers, the chef, the food, to serving the BEST ITALIAN CUISINE SINCE ITALY, and cleanliness in the restrooms. Look, I live in Old Town Alexandria, VA, where there are some of the best Italian restaurants on the East Coast but those restaurants do not compare to my Maggiano’s. I seriously have to drive out of my way, Springfield, to get the Best Italian on the East Coast. It’s worth every second. The cuisine inside this Maggiano’s tastes exactly like my Italian grandparent’s cooked it. I frequent this restaurant at least once or twice a week. Thank you Mo, (manager), Jessie (server), and the rest of the staff at my Maggiano’s! Dana Neese, 12-23-2023.”

“Best ever Thai Restaurant in Washington DC. Great food, great server, and warm environment. Strongly recommendation.”
“I recently visited Makchang Dodok K-BBQ, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. They made us feel right at home, walking us through the menu and offering helpful suggestions for first-timers. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their guests.
The service was fast and efficient without feeling rushed. Our server kept checking in to make sure everything was cooked to our liking and that our drinks and side dishes were always full. It’s rare to find such a friendly and professional team at a busy restaurant, and they truly stood out.
As for the food—delicious! The meats were fresh and flavorful, and the signature makchang (beef or pork intestine) was perfectly prepared with that satisfying char. If you’re a fan of authentic Korean BBQ, this place delivers both in taste and atmosphere.
Highly recommend for a casual night out, a group dinner, or anyone looking to try something new with excellent service to match. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“The best Vietnamese food hands down! When I’m in the area I always have to stop by Le Bledo to get a banh mi and a soup. The consistent quality and attention to detail is what makes this place great. I know what to expect so I’m always satisfied with my food from the fresh baked daily bread to the variety of Vietnamese classic soups such as pho, bun bo hue, and bun rieu 😋 10/10 highly recommend and bring a friend!”
“Very recommend especially cold weather is here, great Thai taste original and more choice for sauces and soups.”

“The shiny painted booths and Spanish music really set the scene, and the food is outstanding.
This particular El-Paso seems to be the best in the area, with the most flavorful food, best service, and timely preparation speeds.
The beans with queso is fantastic, so don’t miss the chance to try it.”
“We ordered Chicken Lo Mein and General Tso’s. Both were so good! The Lo Mein was fresh and the Tso’s was extra crispy and super flavorful. The people who served us were very kind and welcoming. They even gave us an order of spring rolls on the house. It was a great meal with great service and we will be back. Thank you Great Wall!”
“When I came in I was greeted very warmly by a lady and she helped me to order food since it was my first time at this restaurant. The food prices are so affordable and the taste is so immaculate🤤 after I got my food the lady made sure everything was to my liking. The food came out very quickly which was really nice! If you’re seeing this review please come and try the crab rangoons here!!! It was one of my favorites along with their fried chicken.. SO GOOD!!!”
“Yesterday was my 1st time visiting VA Kabob House here in Springfield. Being a fan of Afghan cuisine, I had to stop by as soon as possible. Their $11.99 Chicken Kabob Lunch Special advertised on the window had me drop everything I was doing at the moment, just to walk in and try their food out...and let me tell you....Their food is seasoned and flavored to perfection. Staff is very friendly and upon placing your order, you are offered a complementary plate of their chicken soup which is made from scratch..I ended up placing a side order of the soup and I finished everything on my plate in one sitting; kabob, rice, salad, chick peas, bread and all. I'm here again today ordering the same thing as I'm typing this review. I highly recommend VA Kabob House in Springfield, Virginia. anytime you are hungry, especially lunchtime...
One more thing....I don't really care for soup, but their chicken soup is really damn good and I'm not sure if other Kabob spots have their own soup, but VA Kabob House's soup alone is worth the visit, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite Kabob spots in all of Northern VA.”
“The vegetable egg foo young was absolutely delicious, and I really appreciated the option of brown rice — something you don’t often find at many Chinese restaurants. The service was attentive and friendly, and the staff showed real professionalism throughout the meal. Overall, a great dining experience that I’d gladly recommend.”
“This is the most authentic Lahori cuisine I have had in the U.S. I have eaten here many times and never disliked a single item. The reviews are completely unrepresentative of the food here, it’s outstanding. Just be prepared there’s basically no seating and service isn’t anything to write home about. You’re going here for the food.
Tip: when ordering your bread, other the tandoori parathas. They are basically naans but cooked with ghee and incredibly decadent”
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting your restaurant for the first time and truly enjoyed the experience.The food was delicious! However, I wanted to kindly suggest reconsidering the presentation of your tiramisu. Serving it on a bed of Hershey's chocolate syrup overwhelms the delicate flavors of the dessert, and not all guests enjoy chocolate—myself included. Tiramisu shines best with its classic balance of espresso, mascarpone, and a hint of cocoa. I believe many guests would appreciate it more in a more traditional form. Thank you for considering this feedback!”
“Great food by superb Chef. He's been there for many years. I've had many of us dishes and all scrumptious! Delicious Healthy Menu food too.”

“Every time I get the chicken nuggets and dip in it in the sweet and sour sauce I'm transported to my time in Japan with Chris Scott and just sweating together sweet and sour sauce just running down each other's chests and then feeding each other delicious white chicken nuggets.”
“I was visiting the area on Thursday & had lunch at the bar. My server, Ronnie, was awesome! What a winning personality! He was so kind & helpful & my food came just as I ordered it!”
“This place looked good so we wanted to give it a try. We got the pollo saltado (chicken with red onion and fries in a tasty sauce with rice) and pesto lomo (beef with spaghetti in a basil pesto). Both were served with garlic bread, and both were delicious. I asked for the chicken to be without tomatoes. Unfortunately it was served with tomatoes, but Geraldine apologized and quickly replaced it with no tomatoes. We also tried the raspberry cola inglesa (yum) and flancocho - a chocolate / vanilla-ish (?) cake that was delicious. The prices seemed a bit high, but the food and menu seemed very authentic. 100% Peruvian according to them... Our bill said "Hot and cold" so maybe it's their partner?”

“We placed a catering order for a school-based event and had a great experience! The team was flexible and accommodated all of our needs (e.g., two delivery times across a multi-hour event). Management was very responsive to calls and emails. Deliveries were on-the-dot punctual, pizza was hot and tasty, and the drivers were friendly. Would definitely recommend!”

“I don’t understand why this place is not always packed because it’s one of our favorite Thai spots in the area, a lot better than more packed places we’ve been. I don’t have pictures of the food for this review because we never remember to take pictures before we destroy the food. 😐”
“Was in Springfield today and wanted to grab something different for dinner. I’m happy that I stopped Village chicken. If you’ve never been here I would definitely stop and give it a try. We got the chicken, souvlaki bowl and lamb Gyro and a shredded chicken bowl. They were are absolutely amazing! We will be visiting again soon!”
“This Subway is one of my favorite places to get lunch! The manager Sam is very friendly and will have your sandwich ready to go before you’ve made your chips and drink selection. The staff are very welcoming and keep the business running smoothly with their efficiency and teamwork. Stop by for a sandwich and friendly service today!”
“I had the most delicious cold stone ice cream I’ve ever had made by Abrar. She was very knowledgeable about the flavors and gave us great recommendations. She had excellent customer service and knew exactly how to fulfill my pregnancy cravings! We will definitely be back to this location.”
“I ordered the bundtlet towers, from the Arlington location, for a work event and never thought I would become obsessed with these heavenly cakes. I could not eat any of my cakes alone. Once my children got a taste they were hovering over me, with forks in hand, trying to get another taste. I found myself ordering cakes for my household. I have them on my holiday, birthday, and just because lists. 🥰”
“At the I was there I was a customer there that was 20 years ago from 1999-2002. It was a great atmosphere everyone that worked there at the time were very friendly and I got along with everyone. I met alot of people and made friends there. I live in North Carolina permanently with family I left Washington D.C area in 2017 and I regret not visiting back at Hard times before I left. Hopefully when or if I come to D.C (Springfield virginia). I will definitely stop there again for a visitor. Does anyone remember me? Jeremy Page”
“Great little overlooked gem in Springfield. Great, friendly staff, ownership, management. Cool atmosphere, nightly entertainment includes trivia night, comedy, DJ, darts, poker, karaoke nights, lots of screens showing all the sporting events.”
“Dyanna Sampson is the best! Every time I come here she’s so friendly and helpful!”

“Where to begin... got the chance to visit Paradise Ice Cream. Great and prompt curbside pickup service. OMG the ice cream cookies are so good but the strawberry cheesecake on sugar cookie is my favorite. I wish I had taken a picture prior but there is nothing left. Can't wait to go back to try more of their homemade ice cream flavors.”
“Modern day CHEERS! BEST bar in the DMV! AMAZING PLACE! GREAT vibe/bands/staff/food/bar/service, and the most warm and welcoming staff and "regulars"! Remember the show "CHEERS"? Rename it Pete's! "Where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came." Just add terrific live music, great acoustics, and the best dance floor around! Truly impressive across the board - friendly, welcoming and FUN. Pete, Kelly and their team are true professionals; they love their work and make sure everyone feels welcome. Pete personally goes from table to table - when he's not joining the band/playing guitar! Kelly is wonderful, kind, warm, and consistently books the BEST bands around. Bartender Bo is indeed "super cool" and funny. Servers Mario and Andrea are helpful, attentive, efficient, and keep everyone very well-fed. Chef Pete (different one) regularly impresses with tasty appetizers, entrees, salads (Greek is a fave), desserts, and more. More than worth a visit - keep going back! I'm proud to be a regular (OK - groupie/super-fan) and my nights at Pete's are true weekend highlights. Thanks to everyone at Pete's for providing night after night of great food, music, and community! I've made some lifelong friends and would recommend Pete's to anyone wanting a fun night out with great people.”
“In shop dining: October 2025: Stopped by and had a steak and cheese sub and fries - very good and recommened. One draw back was there is only can sodas. I like the fountain drinks much better than can or bottle. Overall pretty good meal and did not break the bank.
Delivery October 2024: Very good, tasty pizza.”
“We stopped by on a Friday close to noon. My husband had been here in the past and recommended it. They have a varied menu with lots of drink and chip options.
I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with no hot peppers or tomatoes with a side of onion rings. The sandwich was average, but the onions were cooked nice. The breading on the onion rings were a bit much.
My husband ordered Miami Nice and he said it was very good- tender chicken, lots of flavor.
I also got their lemonade and fresh baked cookies. Both were quite good.
The staff was nice and we did not feel rushed to ordered quickly as it took some time to review the menu.
We opted to do carry out, but they do have a good size seating area.”
“Best broth in a 10 mile radius 🍜 excellent food👍😋👌”
“What an ingenious idea!!!! Three restaurants in one, in this hidden gem! American, Mexican and Italian all in one kitchen and it works so very well! We had to get something from each menu! The Dyfre's Double Trouble burger is HUGE and so mouth wateringly delicious! The LA Taqueria DC Carne asada fries are a meal in its own. The Bella Vita Pizza Antipasto pizza is out of this world!”
“this staff is always on top of the game, constantly anticipating our needs. thank you Anya, Michelle and Jordan!”
“Grab & Go type restaurant inside Fresh World (Asian & International Grocery Store) serving Chinese barbecue. Their crispy pig (heo quay) is the best in the area, perfectly crisp and seasoned. We also love the salt and pepper duck; the sauce that comes with it is to die for. They sell vietnamese desserts and bbq roast pork buns too, but these are known to sell out fast.”
