“Best Thai restaurant in my life. Correction, perhaps one of the best restaurants in my life. Exquisite food, exceptional service, beautiful atmosphere, I am at a loss of superlative words because it's really great. I found out about this restaurant last Sunday and it hasn't even been a week and I've already been here 4 times, make it 5 next week because I already know where to eat for my birthday. Matter of fact, I already look forward to dining here with my future wife for our anniversary. Food: Prepared in a timely manner, not too fast that it's suspiciously fastfood like, but not so slow that I'm starving myself to death. The presentation is Michelin Star worthy, it is a must to photograph and appreciate the beauty of the dishes presented. The food is deliciously seasoned, not too salty or not too spicy, the seasoning is carefully and eloquently calculated. The sauces have the perfect texture, flavor, and tanginess. The proteins are of good quality that make for soft, tender, and juicy bites. The veggies are fresh and prepared to perfection with the right amount, not too much that I'm paying for a salad, but enough to provide some freshness and crispiness to the dishes. There is a great variety of dishes so there is something for anyone. Food checks are also provided to assure that the quality of the meals are always consistent. Drinks: The Thai tea is stellar, perfect. A little too sweet for my usual preferences, but combined with their water it creates for a perfect hydration combo to cleanse the pallate and fully savor the delicious Thai cuisine flavors. Their bar contains a great variety of drinks and spirits which I look forward to trying out soon. Service: They have some of the friendliest, most efficient, and knowledgeable servers. Always smiling, refilling water cups, answering all sorts of questions, and paying attention that the guests are taken care of properly. Even if the food wasn't as good as it is, I would definitely come back for consistent and respectful service. Atmosphere: Comfortable seating, warm and relaxed lighting, and an authentic aesthetic of Thailand culture. The interior designer did an amazing job making the inside feel elegant and inviting while incorporating Thai elements without overdoing it too much. TLDR: the best Thai ever.”

“I can't believe this place gets anything less than a 5 star rating. I eat here all the time. The vegetarian menu is amazing and I have never ordered a single bad dish. I recommend the kwachic and a side of broccoli!”

“Delicious! Great food and great service. Very clean. I’m looking forward to trying more menu items.”

“I was coming here every week (sometimes 2x/week) on my lunch break while pregnant until I delivered. The pho is so hot and fresh, the owner is kind, and the restaurant is very clean.

I ordered pick up for the first time and it was just as amazing as I remember! I highly recommend the #14!”

“Nectar is nestled in a little office park area along with J&J Pizza and a few other little food and drink vendors. The staff is always kind and welcoming, even when they are busy. The drinks are well made and tasty. Seating can get a little cramped when there are a lot of people, but other than that, it's a great local place to grab drinks after work or on the weekends. Try to catch some of the live music every Saturday.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“August 27, 2025, IHOP, Cedar Lake Plaza, Sterling, Va

Judy A. Scott

My friend (of 65 years) and I met in Sterling and went to IHOP for breakfast.

Eduardo was our waiter. He was so nice, so pleasant and so terrific!

He patiently waited for us to make our selections. He explained some of the selections that we had questions about. We both got French Toast. The French Toast was excellent and thick slices of toast - so good - thank you cook! He brought our meals quickly and checked on us frequently.

Eduardo was so appreciative (and it showed on his face) when we asked if we could give his manager a compliment on his services.

Sorry Eduaro I did not do the survey within 3 days. My survey code is: 405802220144994”

Thank you both! I feel it is important they get the registration they deserve even though we do not know their names.”

“Sherif rocks! Give him a raise! He went above and beyond with his service esp being the only waiter on the floor. He really made our last exp visiting DMV area memorable. Thank you Sherif!”

“Love the food and outdoor seating. Great for get together and family meals.”

“This is one of the best restaurants in Loudoun County, hands down. I get a new appetizer every time I go, and each time I am thoroughly impressed at the quality of flavor and ingredients. The malai kofta and paneer lababdar are heavenly, a must try. We have begun to go so regularly that the staff recognize us immediately, place us at our favorite table, and remember details of food allergies and are highly accommodating. The owner is incredibly kind and greets all of his customers, the wait staff is super attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed. This is a must-stop for Hindustani food in the area.”

“OMG! Where do I start...From the unassuming quaint colonial home to the wonderful welcoming of Mona herself. You will fall in love with Mona and this place immediately! It's just like walking into your own Grandma's home and Mona makes you feel that way too! We were traveling from out of town to a customer's location near here and were looking for a different dining experience. Boy, Mona did not disappoint! We ordered Baba Ganouj, Beef Shwarma and Lamb with Rice. For dessert we had Rice Pudding and Knafe Bel Jibne. The smoke on the pitas and Baba Ganouj was amazing and I don't like smoke on ANYTHING! I don't care for lamb but tried my business partner's meal and LOVED IT! Mona has definitely won me over hands down! The Shwarma was like nothing I have ever had before. And as a BIG pickle lover, this was a hit! The Rice Pudding was very delicate and a perfect ending to a perfect meal. We ordered the Knafe Bel Jibne as we were very curious. It is a warm sweet treat with a very slight hint of savory which comes from the pistachios - YUM! Mona cooks everything herself to order with LOVE! This is such an AMAZING AND UNIQUE dining experience and hidden GEM! This place is a MUST! When you go there, tell Mona that Kat and Rob sent you!”

“Had a totally wonderful experience at the Manassas location — everyone was friendly, helpful and quick and then the food gave us that warm and fuzzy feeling that we were looking for. AAAAA+++++”

“Delicious New York style thin crust pizza. It's not a seen-a-thousand-times chain. The place has it's own personality - like an actual person designed it from their own ideas, rather than from a marketing and branding strategy. I eat there every time I'm in the area.”

“Ordered a beef bahn mi, steak pho, and pork bowl. All was absolutely delicious! Perhaps the best beef pho I have had in this area. The meats on the sandwich and bowl were well marinated and had nice char.

Was dead when I picked up but they look ready to provide quick service and have several self order kiosks.

Hope they update the signage for this restaurant, it is only marked as a tea and boba place currently.”

Their AYCE Kbbq is great value with all the different beef cuts offered. I think it's so unique that they have Picanha cut as an option. Friendly service. Can't wait to return even for their lunch set!
They have private rooms and plenty of seating, with lots of parking available in Cascades.
Best Korean BBQ in Sterling!”

The cup bap came with fried rice, spicy fried chicken , peppers, lettuce and onions! It all tasted wonderfully together.
The crispy chicken sandwich was topped with a cabbage mix salad, pickles, red onion and your choice of sauce. I picked the coleslaw as my side and it was delicious!
