“This place is always packed, and there's a reason: It is amazing. Our go to is the bubba, yummy Yama and pan fried gyoza. It's right up there with the best sushi we've ever had. And they also have subtle touches, like they put the gyoza in styrofoam containers, and then they poke holes in the styrofoam to make sure the gyoza stays crispy and doesn't soften with its own steam. Also, they will hold open the doors for you if your hands are full with a carry out order. Such nice touches!“
“Treated my cousin to Sweet Ginger for his birthday and we were both amazed by the quality and quantity of food we received for the price paid. We made it easy for our patient and attentive waiter by ordering two Thai iced tea and the Bento Box A with beef teriyaki. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection. Starting with the Thai iced tea; which was almost like a dessert. So smooth and sweet! It complimented the meal. The miso soup was comforting and had a balanced ratio of broth, tofu, greens, and green onion. The salad was fresh, crisp, and dressed with a rich and tasty peanut dressing. Of course, the highlight of our meal was the incredible bento boxes. The tempura shrimp and vegetables were my favorite. They were breaded to ideal crispiness and paired well with the soy dipping sauce. The vegetables were one big broccoli floret and large sliced carrot and zucchini medallions. The teriyaki steak was scrumptious, served on a bed of cabbage slaw with a generous amount of sauce. There was enough for me to dip other box components into, like the California rolls, tofu, and the Japanese dumpling. We dusted off everything. Not even the leftover salad dressing remained because we drank it all up! The whole experience was so much fun and we had a blast. Can't wait to go back. We left feeling satisfied and can add this to our list of happy memories!“
“We were here very recently and enjoyed every aspect of our meal. Very homely, fresh vibes with clean tables and decorative plants spread throughout. Waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Food came out fast (appetizer first), then meals. Not a ton of rice, but meal portions were large! We had the crispy green beans, chicken green curry, and fried pork. Everything was delicious, vegetables tasted so fresh and each dish, so flavorful. Curry was incredible, but will likely order spice level 2 next time as 3 was just slightly too hot (but not unbearable).Thai iced tea offered a sweet balance to the savory and spicy flavor from the food.Looking forward to coming back and trying some more of the authentic thai dishes!“
“I really like the food here, especially the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki boxes. The complimentary sides you get with the box are quite refreshing, especially the kimchi, which I ended up finishing in one bite. The meats here are quite succulent, and I love how the juices drip onto the rice to create this popping, umami flavor. Green tea here was a nice refresher to satisfy my hunger.“
“First vegetarian restaurant I've been to and I enjoyed it! A friend of mind was visiting and wanted to go to this place, I'm no stranger to trying new food so I was game. Place has a real mom and pop feel and is located in Vienna. It's located in its own building on near the intersection of Nutley and Chain Bridge Road (Maple Ave). The folks there were really nice and helped me understand the items on the menu, I had no idea was burdock but the owner was really helpful in explaining what it was. The food came out great, I actually would go here again even though I am more of a omnivore.“
“Pho has rich broth with good flavor. The host/waitress is excellent at her job, friendly, and has suggestions ready. Not pictured is the tendon (if you’re into that sort of thing) which was great - not overcooked but also not too chewy.Interior atmosphere is very calming.Also highly recommend the pho for comforting takeout (great for when you’re sick or you had one too many at the brewery the night before!)“
“We went here during happy hour on a Tuesday or Wednesday. It wasn't busy at all. Our server was attentive and ensured our order was correct and we had everything we needed! The food was good! Definitely recommend for a sushi happy hour. We got miso soup, house salad, spring rolls and a few sushi rolls. The spring rolls were so hot, fresh and crisp. The rolls were yummy and filling. We will come here again for a good happy hour!“
“Oh wow such a hidden gem. The food was amazing ask for TJ. He was amazing. Great service and so attentive. We enjoy our food so much. The curry puffs were so good the apps was 10/10 that I tried. I didn’t try the crab Rangoons or dumplings since it had shrimp & crab in it. I wanted all chicken. Such a cute experience I will come back. The food was busin busin.“
“We visited here for the first time last Friday, and we'll definitely be going back again. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the amazing, creative cocktails prepared right in front of us. I highly recommend the smoked old fashioned, which is smooth and tasty. The food was equally as good and an amazingly creative fusion of cuisine. We had the oceanic bites, and loved them so much we ordered a second round. Can't' say enough good things about Eve's!“
“Firepan Korean BBQ in Falls Church offers a delightful all-you-can-eat BBQ experience. The variety of meats and sides provide a true taste of Korean cuisine. The staff is attentive and the ambiance is inviting, making it a great dining choice for BBQ enthusiasts.“
“I did a carry out. Being my first time, I was given recommendations by what looked to be an owner/operator. He was very accommodating as was the young lady present who was doing most of the cooking. The food were fresh and delicious. A huge thumbs up!“
“These are the friendliest people in the food business. The food is good, served quickly and always with a smile, respect, and sometimes even a song. This has been a standard lunch spot for me ever since I started working in Tysons every day.“
“Yu Noodles in Herndon is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it can get! I recently had the pleasure of dining here and was blown away by the incredible flavors and quality of the dishes.The steamed shrimp dumplings were a standout for me, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. They were an absolute delight to eat the freshness of the shrimp combined with the delegate dumpling wrapper made for a truly memorable appetizer.Don't even get me started on the seafood noodle soup. It was out of this world. The broth was flavorful with hints of seafood essence that elevated the dish to a whole new level. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the generous portion of seafood made each bite a heavenly experience.Overall, Yu Noodles is a must visit for anyone in the Herndon area. Whether you're craving dumplings or noodle soup, this is the real deal. You won't be disappointed by the delicious offerings at this fantastic restaurant. I will definitely be back!“
“After hearing great reviews, we were eager to try out this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful ambiance. The Thai design elements, including large fixtures on the ceiling, added a unique touch to the décor. While the food looked and tasted good overall, it was a bit too sweet for our personal preference. Nevertheless, the service was fantastic and contributed to a great overall experience.“
“Donkatu is good. My picky eater daughter finished the whole plate. If you miss old Korean style don kka ss sauce, they have it. I also had Jjambbong kalkooksoo. It was ok to good. I wish more seafood or bigger seafood pieces in there. Price is ok. Before I eat here, I went to the thrift store in the same plaza. Walk all the way straight from the restaurant. They have great selection of home decorations and set of plates.“
“I like the fusion of Japanese and Korean food and the presentation of the food in a tray is very neat. I especially enjoyed the ramen, it was very flavorful and the spicy pork katsu also was pretty good. The waiters are friendly and pleasant. You should definitely try this restaurant if you are looking for Japanese and Korean food, it has both in one!“
“David is the reason I had a great meal and experience. When I saw that the menu had changed and asked about vegan options, I was disappointed. David went way out of his way to make sure I didn’t have a boring, steamed veggie meal. He double checked all ingredients with the chef and I had the stir fried Buddha’s Feast with tofu. Sooo good.The ambiance was lovely and the food was delicious but the most impressive part if this visit was David.Dietary restrictions: Ask for a vegan menu“

“Great, friendly service! I had a lot of questions about the food and they answered patiently. Food was sooo good. My first Bing impressions: delightful and satisfying. Rose milk tea was divine as well. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a great experience.“
“Stopped into Kumo for some sushi and this place was popping! There were not many empty tables but I happened to find one and decided to eat inside the restaurant instead of takeout. The restaurant had a sushi specials menu as well as regular rolls; Thai, Chinese, and hibachi entrees. I could not make a a decision on what I wanted but ended up ordering the chicken with broccoli with fried rice. The fried rice is $1 extra. The chicken and broccoli came out hot! The texture of the chicken was a little off. The rice didn't come out at the same time as my entree. I also ordered the Pokémon roll. The roll was huge and very delicious. I wish the waitress would have brought out the roll and just waited for the rice to come out at the same time. I would definitely be back to try more of what Kumo has to offer.“
“Their sushi is very good, I have already eaten there several times and have also ordered takeout. The quality of the ingredients are good and fresh. Compared to other places, its price seems more than good to me for its quality.Once I ordered rice that came with shrimp and it was also very good.It's a nice atmosphere and the service is good.Only once did a girl who served us seem to forget our table and we had to be careful to call her to come to us, but otherwise they have good service.“
“Such a cute little modern spot. All the food was great and fresh. Fries, bao, popcorn chicken, and pork belly were all great. Good beer selection. Loved all the different beer glasses. Went in on a Sunday evening so it wasn’t very busy at all. Waiter checked on us consistently (sometimes that’s actually an issue when it’s slow, but not here!) will def be back to try the rest of the menu.Dietary restrictions: Popcorn chicken is gluten free. There are other options noted as gluten free too. Nice to have some options that aren’t boring or bad substitutes. Hard to find any sort of breaded chicken that’s gluten free. Bravo!“
“We have eaten at the restaurant and take out. We have never been disappointed. The pulled chicken sandwich is so good. It is huge and the sauce they put on it is delicious. We also have done take out with their whole chicken. Great deal and very tasty. It comes with two sides. Daicon radishes and cole slaw. If you have not tried this place you should.“
“I never knew this little spot existed prior to today! Anyways, I ordered my favorite dishes - spicy sichuanese fried chicken and tofu and fish - and the food was quite good! Glad I discovered another Chinese restaurant to add to my short list.“
“Met some friends for dinner and I really enjoy the rolls. Everything was so fresh and packed with flavor. I got the pink lady roll, French maki and the yellow tail roll. My friends got the sashimi platter. The service was decent and the server was very patient since my friends were late and he had to wait to put my order in. Over all I'd say this is a great sushi spot that I'd come back to whenever I'm in the area doing some shopping at the mall.“
“Authentic Chinese flavors! If you’re craving yummy rice noodles, Yanzi House has tons of great options. We tried the pork and mushroom and beef flank options. Both were tasty. I haven’t had thick rice noodles like these since living in China. Be sure to also get the beef burrito and calimari. This was all so good! We’ll be back!“
“Really adorable and fun decor! I can only speak for the bubble tea which is great- not the food which I've yet to try. It's a little expensive but the drinks are worth it. My only complaint is that one cashier in this location was rude to me once, made a strange comment, although I think he left. Watch the customer service. Otherwise I'd totally recommend it and go back.“
“I have a love/hate relationship with this place. When it comes to events, everything is at the lobby once you walk in and it's filled with neon lights, a dimly lit bar full of many offerings of alcohol you can get, a few small sections for VIP for your friends, and usually a DJ playing their music. There's open karaoke as well but I don't know if people sing often in the lobby. So I have been here many times for my friends and even booked a room as well. Rooms are spacious and they do have pretty nice audio. But there is one thing that truly irks me every time I come here. So they have a touch screen where you can add your karaoke songs through YouTube or through their system but getting the videos to load is a pain. It's annoying to deal with because it skips to the next song in queue so if you are with a group of 5+ more people, it can be very stressful. The worst part is we asked the staff about it and they aren't really sure what to do about the connection. I mean they should really fix that because I'm sure it gets people upset. No one wants their song to be skipped. Aside from that, you can also hear the loudness from other rooms, I don't expect that to be an issue but it's noticeable on busy nights. If you do plan to go here, there's one thing I highly advise before going. Check their socials if they are hosting any event and call ahead to know about the room rates. The website shows their original flat rates for the room but in events, they raise the prices up. If you go in person, check the menu before deciding to put your money down. This place also adds gratuity to the bill so be prepared to drop down a lot. While I frequently come back here just to hang out with friends, karaoke is one of my favorite hobbies. Its never a good time when your song doesn't get played or you get charged way more than you should.“
“I love the single family sized burner tables to keep small children away from hot surfaces. I also like being able to sample two broths (spicy, mild). Our server was very family friendly and that is why I recommend bringing your family to this restaurant. This restaurant fills up fast so I recommend arriving early or late to beat the crowd. I think we got the last parking spot in Stryker mall. There were three guys blocking my car upon departure but they moved upon request. We came hungry and left very full.“
“I go to this place pretty often, and always have great sushi! I like to get the selection of sashimi, but everything I've had is good, and always quickly prepared for pickup. Definitely recommend this small place, for pickup or dine-in“
“We had the entire place to ourselves, so a nice birthday dinner. They have a new dish bulogi fries. I'm super excited trying that. Bonchon food is addicting and super good.Parking: Parking in front around the side and some in back. Across the street and street parking.Kid-friendliness: My kiddo definitely enjoyed sitting in his booster seat at the table. Waiter definitely enjoyed his cuteness.“
“Haven't had seafood boil this good in a long time! The atmosphere was casual, chill, inviting. The service was phenomenal. We had Caitlin, she was very attentive and super sweet! The food was amazing, seafood was fresh, everything was flavorful. We got shrimp and clams in trill sauce hot. All the appetizers were delicious. We would definitely come back. Get the raw marinated crab! They have happy hour all day Monday & Tuesday. It's a must stop for us now every time we're in the area.“
“I was thinking about getting sushi and this place came up in my search. The sushi was good. I went with two options that I knew couldn't get messed up. Shrimp tempura and a sweet potato roll. Both rolls were filling. The shrimp and veggie tempura appetizer was just flat. I think it's because it's just tempura and no seasoning on the veggies or shrimp so the taste is Just bland.“
“Really good spot overall. In a sea of overpriced and overrated places this place stands out with quality food and a good price. The place itself isn’t extravagant and not everything on the menu will blow you away but there are defiantly some standouts and a place worth trying.“
“The Sichuan Legend Hotpot and more is new a management. They take care of their guests like family, Nicole our server is very sweet. The ambiance, food and service is wonderful. Their menu consists of hotpot and more. We tried the hotpot and loved it, will definitely come back and try the rest of the menu. Thank you and keep it up. ??“
“Conveniently located near Loews and Burlington in Fairfax, this Korean-style Chinese restaurant serves good Jjajangmyeon (Black bean noodles) and Tangsuyook (Fried pork with sweet sauce) that are generously proportioned. The decor is a bit old, but it is a good restaurant to visit when you crave these dishes.“
“Oh my gosh where do I start? The food is amazing as usual and the mini pork belly bao buns were so tasty and the loaded tots paired with the Yuzu Palmer drink is a match made in heaven. I loved the dessert here too especially the birthday cake loaf and this is gonna be my go to place every week and the owner is super kind and exerts positive energy and amazing customer service to make everyone feel welcome! That beef krapow empanada with that sauce was right on the money!!“
