the General Washington Dr location of Flavor Hive is now an actual store unit and not just a truck…read more There is no inside seating, and there are a few outdoor tables. Most of this operation appears to be take-out. We placed a pickup order online and it was waiting for us by the time we showed up. We ordered two small chicken bowls and one "feast mode". The "feast mode" size was actually challenging for three people to finish! The "hive sauce" tastes like a honey mustard with maybe mayo? It's pretty good. I really wish Flavor Hive would have additional toppings - just cucumber tomato onion cilantro etc are quite minimal. Would be awesome if they could add something like beet salad or beans! The value at this place is excellent compared to the numerous other rice / slop bowl places in the area. It is a lot of food. This place went viral on social media for a reason, and it lives up to the hype.

This review is for the Alexandria location of Flavor Hive off of General Washington Dr…read more On 1/28/26, after 8:00 PM, we placed two separate orders. Only one order (check #88) was provided at pickup. The second order (check #87) was never given to us, despite being paid for. When I called the phone number listed on both the paid receipt and from Google, I did not reach the restaurant. Instead, the call was answered by a male individual phone comes up from Vienna and did not appear to be affiliated with the restaurant staff on-site. This alone is unacceptable. The individual who answered was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Multiple witnesses overheard the conversation, which has been documented. We were not initially seeking a refund -- only verification of the missing order and whether it could still be picked up. There was zero effort to assist, no accountability, and no urgency to resolve the issue. This level of disorganization and lack of customer service is unacceptable for any restaurant. If Flavor Hive continues to operate this way -- including routing customer calls to unprofessional third parties -- it will absolutely damage the business and its reputation.

I was craving Filipino food, but one thing I've noticed is that a lot of Filipino spots close…read morepretty early. It's located in a strip shopping center, so parking is super easy and accessible, and the restaurant itself is very easy to find. Walking in, the space is extremely clean, well-lit, and nicely decorated. Now let's talk about the real highlight: the variety. They have dinner plates, bowl options, and à la carte items. I went with one of my favorites, the lechon. They were out of the roasted version, but the staff recommended the fried pork instead, and it did not disappoint. I came in around 7:30, and they close at 8, so I was trying to be mindful and not hold them up. But the woman at the counter was incredibly kind and told me not to rush at all--"you're already inside, take your time." That level of hospitality really stood out. She even took the time to walk me through the menu, which I appreciated, even though I'm already familiar with Filipino food. The food itself? Amazing. The lechon was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The portion size was generous, and it came with two Lumpia that were hot, fresh, and delicious. It also included a soda, which made it feel like a complete, satisfying meal. Overall, this place is a 10/10. Great food, great portions, and even better customer service. I'd highly recommend stopping by.

We were going to try a highly-rated Thai restaurant, also located in Bradlick Shopping Center, but…read morewhen we saw a Filipino restaurant close by, we decided to come to Mang Eton instead. The women working here were kind and helpful. You order at the counter in the back, and they will bring your food to your table. Menu options abound, but the only menu was the display screen above and in back of the counter. Unfortunately, the display screen is hard to see and there are no descriptions with the pictures/items. Mang Eton really needs to provide some printed menus. While the online menu does contain descriptions, the online descriptions don't necessarily match what is available. Anyways.... For a starter, we ordered the siomai. These were plump and tasty. We wish they would give more of the excellent dipping sauce than the tiny thimble of sauce that they do give you. Note: the combo meals also include a couple pieces of siomai. I ordered the Combo #1, which came with a piece of fried chicken, 2 lumpia, shrimp chips, rice and pancit. The lumpia had an excellent flavor. The fried chicken and pancit were okay. JP ordered the Combo #3. The only difference between the Combo #1 and Combo #3 is that the Combo $3 comes with fish instead of chicken. It also comes with a skewer of meat (pork?), which was good. We were the only non-Filipino customers. I plan on coming back to try the halo-halo dessert and to order some more yummy siomai.

Both were well made and had plenty of flavor. The cashier at the food truck was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. Their menu items can be a bit pricey but quality ingredients are used and you can taste the difference. I'm glad we tried The Frenchman out.

Fried chicken goodness on a brioche, plenty of jalapeno slices, cheese, and an aioli. The brioche bun was fluffy and did a great job of holding all of the flavor into bites.

I will say, I was disappointed in the tacos. The tortillas and toppings were perfect and fresh, however the fries shrimp and fish were mostly batter. Moreover the actual fish and shrimp were very little. As for the chips, they're thin and crispy, seasoned, and served room temperature, which is acceptable. The salsa was nice and tasted homemade. The guacamole was average. It definitely tasted like it was made a few hours ago because the dish was lime-forward. The staff were nice. They were attentive and patient with us as we navigated the menu with some questions. The space is nice and bright, the booths made it feel cozier, however some of the upholstery on the seating is torn and patched by masking tape. It feels like a diner, which isn't bad and appropriate for this price point. Next time, I'm trying the Birria tacos.

The mac and cheese was decent.
