Top 5 Specialty Food in Fairfax County

2907 Arlington Dr, Alexandria, VA 22306, United States

“The best authentic Mexican food! I finally went after a friend (who goes 2-3x a week) kept recommending this place and so happy I went. The food is incredibly delicious and very well-priced! This is a family-owned business for over 20 years and I will absolutely be back! The breakfast burrito is probably my favorite and after eating only half I’m very full and have a ton of leftovers:). Major thank you and shout out to the Benitez family!”

“They always pushing the day before chicken leftovers with the fresh food, is been several times I got food and the chicken and fry rice taste old not fresh. The chickens are extremely small I usually a quart is enough for me but last 4 times I got food I ordered 1/2 chicken because they are using pichons instead of chickens. Overall and not going back because the quality of the food is very poor.”

“Great sushi and clean restaurant. Prices are average and had a good portion. The service was a bit weird, friend knowingly ordered an item that had a raw egg, but the server warned him and really did not want him to order it for some reason. So he started having second guesses about what he wanted. Not that it was a big deal, just thought it was interesting.”

281 S Van Dorn St, Alexandria, VA 22304, United States

“A nice atmosphere and amazing customer service! Food average but a bit too expensive for the quality. Eggs a la Benedict: not balanced flavors. A bit too lemony. In my opinion definitely need to work and perfect the recipe. Vegetarian Scrambled Eggs, taste was bland. A pinch of salt or a bit more made a difference. Pancakes were awesome. I don't mind price for excellent food but price should be based on how good the food parties or sleeps in your mouth. LOCATION: Good spot with tons of parking RETURN FACTOR 60% RECOMMEND A FRIEND FACTOR 30%”

“I love True Foods! It's my favorite restaurant. The fares are light which I love (they also have heavy food if that is your vibe) and the ambiance is wonderful, modern and forward. This is my first time at the Reston location but as soon as we walked in it was brighter than the others I've been too! Dante the GM is doing beyond great and he is a wonderful host. If I am in the area will most def come again.”

“Title: Unique Self-Service Experience at Happy Lamb Hot Pot Review: My visit to Happy Lamb Hot Pot offered a refreshing twist on the traditional hot pot dining experience. As avid fans of hot pot, we were intrigued by their distinctive self-service approach. Unlike the typical ordering process from a tablet or menu, here we had the freedom to walk to the shelves and personally select our desired vegetables and other ingredients, which added an enjoyable interactive element to our meal. The only exception to this self-service was with the beef and lamb, where we were limited to just one plate at our table. The inclusion of drinks in the meal was a nice touch, and we were pleasantly surprised to find small snacks like chicken, barbecue, and bread available on the shelves as well. This variety and the ability to choose our own ingredients made for a fun and satisfying dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Happy Lamb Hot Pot and appreciated the uniqueness of their self-service concept. Don't forget to ask for free ice cream at the end”

“I’m never disappointed here. There’s a different variety of Thai dishes that you won’t find in other restaurants. Flavors are very good and service as well. The atmosphere is relaxing and cafe-like with good service. This time my wife and I had crispy chive dumplings for an appetizer. I had the kua gling (delicious) and my wife had the crispy pork belly and Chinese broccoli. First, it’s great that there’s adequate parking. It’s a comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. I like that their menu options include other things you don’t find in other Thai restaurants. Both my wife and I had crispy pork belly and both were delicious. My wife went for Chinese broccoli while I had garlic. Both satisfied.”

“They definitely live up to their name of trying for best buns! I tried the red, white and blue danish, the baguette and a breakfast croissant - all of which are very delicious. I look forward to going back to try their sandwiches. The staff was very friendly and courteous and there was plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. Delicious!”

“I saw so many great reviews about this restaurant and was excited to try it. We ordered two plates, one with beef kobideh, and the other one was like a chicken wrap. Sadly, both dishes had rather dry and tough meat. Additionally, the vegetable sides on the chicken plate were quite salty. The sauce for the wrap was bland. The saving grace was the fries, which were delicious with a unique seasoning. Overall, the food was alright, but it didn't quite live up to the outstanding reviews I had read. I really wanted to love it, but it was just okay. I've had tastier beef kobideh elsewhere with juicier meat. Though the food look fantastic in my pictures.”

“a quaint bakery serving delectable baked goods from the levant region. We decided to patron them due their background although the kanafeh really should be tried by everyone regardless of political affiliation.”

“This was my first time eating Moroccan food. I was impressed with the complexity of the flavors and by the amount of food served. A I highly recommend the lamb couscous and the chicken bastilla. The lamb was seasoned well and was incredibly tender. The bastilla was an explosion of flavors I have never had before. It's hard to describe but it's sweet, savory, and the chicken is really tender. My girlfriend and I can't wait to come back and try new dishes and for the tea!”

“I went for the first time this past Tuesday with my partner. Marianne the middle aged woman with light brown hair at the front desk who checks people in, gave us attitude about our ID’s not having a current address in Arlington on file. We brought our lease agreement as instructed by social services and she proceeded to insist we need to have the ID’s with the current address. Social services explicitly stated that we could bring our lease agreement and we did. Once my partner mentioned we have an account on file, she finally checked after she tried to have us as a walk-in. She could’ve done that in the first place. That customer service right there put a bad taste in my mouth, with how much we proved that we do have an account on file for AFAC. That was a frustrating experience right there.”

“Great food. This out of way place isn’t going to impress you for the setting, but the food will. It’s an order at the counter kind of place and then relax and enjoy. Service is just the cashier, but again, here is about the food. This trip I tried the spin salchipapa, which was good and filling. I may try a different sauce next time. Delicious chicken. We tried this last night and loved it. There’s ample parking and very comfortable inside. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the food was plentiful, well-priced, and very good. Even if you don’t use the sauce, the flavors are there. My wife and I had the dark 1/2 chicken and my son the quesadilla. This place is a must-try.”

“I enjoyed the food, but I'm not sure that it was worth the price. The waitress was friendly, and the service was quick, but I don't know if I would return based on the cost. I do highly recommend the sushi here, although I forgot to take a photo of it.”

“Friendly owners and delicious food!”

“Disappointed. Undercooked pizza. VPN or DOC is supposed to be a standard but I guess not. Maybe the ingredients are authentic but undercooked is undercooked. Never had a pizza like this. Yes I’ve eaten at Crust and Two Amys. Maybe Thursday night is a bad night to go. Maybe service is better when there is a crowded dining room. But I will not not know, not going back. I passed on Lucia’s for the hype of this place. Meatballs were good, should have skipped the pizza. Seemed like the same sauce.”

“Shahs is always 10/10. The food is fresh, the staff is welcoming. I get the chicken + lamb platter and have always left full, happy and satisfied. Portions are great for price. I’ve tried other places like Bitez in Annandale but always find myself craving Shahs.”

“We have been faithful Jake's customers since opening. Yummy icecream and the staff is always friendly. I love that this business supports and employs individuals with "other" abilities and that my kids get to interact with them! The greeter at the door is especially the kindest and lets us know all the new flavors. My son loves the lavender honey! We buy it in quarts lol! We absolutely LOVE Jake's.”

“Service and atmosphere was good. Food was ok nothing special. It was decent and served in a prompt time. Service was great our sever was very patient and kind. When dining out with kids I truly appreciate this. They do offer a kids menu and so my son had the Mac and cheese and fries. Fries were way to soft. Probably wouldn’t return to eat. But it seems nice for big groups as they have tables to accolade groups of 12.”
