Fried chive cake
Jada G.

The space is so gorgeous! This is such a pleasant addition to the neighborhood. 2 hour parking validation after 4pm FYI! My partner and I got a nice spread of appetizers and entrees. The chive cake and gyoza were decent, but not mind blowing. I really liked the shrimp in hot pot but I was a little confused on why it came with rice. The rice was actually so good I wished I got curry instead to take advantage of it since I had a noodle dish. The creme brulee was honestly disappointing. Between it being a bit lukewarm and no crunch on the top, it was just okay. I don't doubt the other desserts might be a little better. Service was also a bit hot and cold, but it was a quiet night for such a big space so I'll forgive them for the table management. Overall totally down to come back and try more stuff!

Mango sticky rice
Ka L.

The food is solid here. So, decent thai food though probably not exceptional. Will return anytime. Service is good and definitely on par with restaurant at same class. The ambience is ok. Some parts are nice but other parts feel a bit cafeteria but still nice overall. Probably too special without decor in the center. Booth looks nice. Red curry - well spiced. Very rich so not the lighter thai curry that some might look for. Good though Signature Pad Thai - had cha siu for this pad thai. Not sure if it is very different from standard pad thai but I like this one quite a bit. Well seasoned but not oily Mango sticky rice - this one is just ok, texture and mango is average

I really liked this place. I was worried it would be too focused on aesthetics and not enough on food (the place is made for instagram) but that wasn't the case at all. Food was delicious, drinks reasonably priced, service on point. 10/10.

Food: 5/5 + larb gai SPICY, but I liked it. I like when the spice level isn't automatically Americanized. I definitely didn't need the spice condiment tray for this. When I'm trying a new Thai restaurant, I always get the larb gai/papaya salad to see if they know what they're doing in the kitchen. Not only is the presentatiin beautiful but I could tell from the cut and taste of the minced chicken that it was ground in house. It wasn't overly cooked and was juicy from the chicken thighs incorporated into the ground meat. The best larb gai I've ever eaten and I've had a lot. + roti massaman curry with chicken SPICY, and GOOD. I've never had roti served as a waffle so at first I was like "hmmmm, I like to scoop and fold my food into the roti so IDK about this". With it being a waffle, I ate it more like a chip with guac. Hear me out. Dunk the roti waffle into the curry sauce, baptize it a bit, spoon more curry on it (like basting a steak), then add chicken and rice on top, eat like a chip. AMAZING! Because the roti is crisped, it'll hold it's shape. The presentation was immaculate. + coconut rice salad - If you like larb gai, you would enjoy this. The crispy coconut rice balls steal the show adding a nice crispy texture to the dish. In my opinion, it wasn't as spicy as the larb gai, but still spicy which I enjoyed. I kept looking at the menu after I ordered and ate my food, then finally decided to order this app, and I'm so glad I did. I don't recall ever seeing this on a Thai menu, so it's a stand out. Service: 5/5 + I made my reservation on Resy and although I arrived 40 mins there wasn't an issue (it was lunchtime on a Friday on their 5th day of being opening). + My server was appropriately attentive on a Friday during lunch hours. I only had to ask for water once (spicy food) any other time, she remember to fill my glass with water. She even remembered that I didn't want ice each time seh refilled my glass. + She said the coconut rice salad was one of her faves. + Any time I've come to one of these Pattana Restaurant Group locations, the service is always good. Can't even lie. Ambiance: 5/5 + GORGEOUS! + furniture made in Thailand + even the seating had Dok Khao branded on it (loved the attention to details) + not a grass wall vibe spot at all + CLEAN bathroom. No paper towels unfortunately (for the people who think air dryers are yucky). + trash can was empty, not overflowing like some restaurants. + the interior designers did amazing, I couldn't stop looking at how gorgeous the bar was Cons: - It's not closer to my house and now it's my new fave Thai restaurant. - Garage parking BUT they validate for 90 mins-2 hours. I don't like garage parking, but hate looking for street parking even more, so a win is a win.

Super delicious and super cute ambience. The food was sooo good. I got the crybaby noodles and a couple drinks. The food took some time to come out but it was pretty busy for Mother's Day. Will definitely be coming back. Ka!

10/10!  Lychee Thai Tea & Sakura Rose Milk Tea!

A fantastic sandwich location. I love a good sandwich!…read more I was able to place an order for pick up just before I got on the train to head back. Brilliant! I will definitely for this again on my next trip. I ordered a BLT on multigrain, and a PBJ w/honey drizzle on sourdough. The PBJ is off the kids menu. I'll ask for extra peanut butter and jelly so it's to my liking. I couldn't tell if there was honey on it, it could have been. The BLT was fantastic. I loved that it was not oiled high with all the ingredients. A simple sandwich. It fit the bill and didn't over fill me. A true classic. The multi grain bread was the best! I need to find out where that is from. It was that good. I hope I'm able to try the tuna fish and the egg salad sandwiches sometime they look delish! The staff were quiet, but got the job done. There is a small bar like area to eat in, and outdoor tables in a covered area to enjoy your sandwich.

Great little sandwich shop!…read more It's very popular at noontime. I took a break from my 4 hour long painting class upstairs in the Torpedo Factory to snag a bite. My timing was good, because I arrived right before a work group of maybe 10 people or so came into place their orders. In addition to a substantive sandwich menu, which includes both hot and cold sandwiches, there's plenty of beverage (including wine) and snack selections. Wearing an oil paint-smudged apron (FYI: the reality is that you're still going to get paint on your clothes even wearing an apron), I aptly ordered the Torpedo Artist. The Torpedo Artist is a hot Panini-like sandwich. You can select your type of meat, cheese and toppings. By default it includes lettuce, sweet peppers and deli oil. My sandwich was well-crafted with plenty of turkey and Swiss cheese. However, I didn't especially like this sandwich. I wish I had asked them to hold the deli oil because it was overly pungent with oregano. All I could taste in my sandwich was oregano. But older and wiser now, I know in the future that if I have them hold the deli oil, I'll end up with a great and tasty sandwich.

The staff and extremely friendly. They were so welcoming and really patient with us as we had lot of questions. Even gave us a sample of their lemonade which was refreshing and so delicious had as craving more! Complimented the food so well. We all were so full by the end of our meal but wish we didn't so we could have more. You can tell everything is made in house with so many veggie toppings which I love!! You can get as much toppings as you want, either into a wrap, bowl, or salad. 10/10 recommend!! We also tried the cookies. She said to give them 6 or 8 minutes (can't remember) and they will be ready. Cookies are fresh fresh and always warmed up per order. They were perfect. If you go to their website they have a rewards program check it out first!!

Jula's is a quality restaurant. The food is really well prepared and far above average. My partner…read moreand I had oysters which were superb. The main courses were anything but average. This is the perfect restaurant for those special occasions. The wine selection was very good and the cocktails made perfectly. The service was a cut above without being intrusive. The views of the Potomac provide a nice compliment to a great meal. I'll definitely be back.

We've been to Ada's on the River a few times before and always had a good experience, but yesterday…read morewas honestly very disappointing. My family ordered several steaks and sides, and the food quality seemed to have dropped a lot. The vegetables, honey glazed carrots, and fries were all extremely overcooked and burned -- some parts were literally black. We didn't complain at the table, but it was surprising that the kitchen still served food like that. The NY steak was the biggest disappointment. It was supposed to be a 14 oz steak, but only about half to maybe 3/4 of it was actual lean meat. The rest was tough fat, chewy skin, and parts that were very difficult to eat. Even the steak knife could barely cut through it. The outside of the steak was also burned black like charcoal. It definitely did not feel like the quality we experienced during our previous visits. Really hoping this was just an off night because we used to enjoy coming here.

Second best sandwiches I have ever had, but best on the East coast…read more I'm in Arlington on business from the West Coast and was looking for a quick lunch spot when I stumbled into this little hidden gem. I've eaten at plenty of delis over the years, but Eddie's Little Shop completely surprised me with flavors I've genuinely never tasted before. The sandwiches here are incredibly unique, creative combinations that just explode with flavor in ways I wasn't expecting. What really stood out were the huge, fresh chunks of real mozzarella, paired with their homemade-style dressings, sauces, and condiments. It's easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. The portions are generous, the bread is spot-on. I'll definitely be back before my trip ends. If you're in Arlington, do not miss Eddie's Little Shop Deli. Highly, highly recommended!

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Hello, 911? I'd like to report an attempted murder…read more Eddie's tried to kill me with a monstrous sandwich. Saturday, midafternoon, I stop by for an Eddie Mootz ($17) (salami, ham, sopressata, mozzarella, on seeded italian). I'm handed this brown paper bag that weighs, I dunno, 3 lbs? I have to carry this back with me to the Metro. Twice along the way, I have to stop and catch my breath. I get home, my kitchen counter sags a bit where I put the bag down. Cripes, Eddie's. And the sandwich itself? 2 meals, easily. Thick thick piles of meat and a shovel-full of mozzarella. Very chewy bread. I work up a sweat just eating this, there's so much labor involved. I ordered online from the Metro, around the DCA stop, and got a notification it was ready before I got to the King Street stop. Fast turnaround. Eddie's is now on my list of places to make a point of going to for sandwiches in the DMV. Really good sandwich, and a lot of it.

This was a fairly cool old town waterfront pizza spot. On the outside it looks like an old…read morewarehouse but on the inside it's a clean cut modernized space with wooden decor, a long bar at the entrance, and several sets of smaller tables throughout the space. There's also a second floor which is used as their event space. It was a bit quiet during lunch time on this day which worked out as my small group had plenty of choices for seating. Service was excellent our waiter was very attentive and our food items came out in an expedited manner. Their menu features apps like cast iron meatballs, garlic knots, and eggplant parm, several different salad options, 6 different sub options, and of course a plethora of red and white sauce pizza options (by the slice or whole pies) with plenty of add-ons regarding toppings and glazes. The wine menu is also pretty expansive with some very nice selections. I ended up ordering the chicken caesar sub ($18) and the vanilla bean brûlée cheesecake ($9). The chicken sub was delicious the flavor of the bread and the Caesar dressing that came with it were the highlights, fresh toppings, my only complaint would have been a bit more chicken added to the sandwich. The cheesecake was exceptional as well despite being a bit heavy on the cream topping but that was probably more for presentation purposes. Overall a positive lunch experience, I'll definitely be returning to try out a few of their pizza options.

This was my first time checking out this restaurant…read more I liked the fact that you could order pizza by the slice, but unfortunately the piece I received came out cold. Indicating that it had been cooked a while ago. I also ordered the eggplant Parmesan appetizer. The dish was really cheesy, however it was way over salted. The restaurant only offered one mocktail option, which is a shocker especially since we are in the middle of dry January. I'll have to go back another day and have a proper meal to see if this one visit was just a fluke.
