    Truly a great place to visit if you like quick bites and are curious about the interesting décor around the restaurant. Filled with computer parts and old 2000's pieces of technology it's like you are going back in time. It's honestly a shock to me that looking at these items are over 20+ years old. There's also a coffee bar where you can also get coffee but it was closed by the time I got there. I came here to get breakfast but by the time I arrived it was almost closing time. That is unfortunately my own fault as I left the house thinking I'd make it on time to get breakfast. The lady at the counter did offer me to make a Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi instead and I said yes why not. After I got my Banh Mi I ended up eating in a parking lot as they were closing shop. The Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi is loaded with everything you'd want in a sandwich. Carrots, Daikon, Cucumber, Cilantro, Lemongrass Chicken all on a nice beautiful baguette that it's served in. This is worth the price and honestly worth coming back for. I will probably add a fried egg to see if it enhances the sandwich!

    TLDR: Great lunch spot! Plenty of tasty options at decent prices. Come for their lunch special. Vibe: 4/5. Megabytes is tucked away in a small business park close to the Dulles Expo Center. Inside, the cafe functions as a counter service style restaurant, where you can order directly at the counter with the staff or on tablets located at the counter. They have a decent amount of seating, consisting of both 2 and 4 top tables, so larger groups can be accommodated. Separate from the main lunch kitchen counter is a coffee bar, where you can order such drinks as Vietnamese coffee and various lattes. Lots of fun video game decor can be seen throughout the space, with a few game consoles setup on the side for those that want to hit the sticks after lunch. Restrooms are shared with the rest of the office space, so you have to exit Megabytes and walk down a hallway to find them. Service: 5/5. The staff at Megabytes was very accommodating and helpful from start to finish. When I first arrived, I was a bit confused about the ordering system ie. whether I order at the tablet or with a staff member. This was quickly remedied by one of the staff members explaining I could do either and that my order would be called out and brought to my table when ready. They also made sure to recommend the lunch special, which is well priced and offers diners a bento box style of their top sellers. The helpfulness from the staff made for an overall better experience! Food: 4/5. My table of 2 had a fantastic lunch. I ordered the pork banh mi, which comes with all the typical banh mi fixings on a crunchy baguette. The banhi was of decent size and checked all of the banh mi boxes with tender pork, rich pate and tasty pickled veggies. My friend ordered the loco moco lunch special, which includes a serving of loco moco, a spam musubi and a side of macaroni salad for $12. This was a superb deal, as the portion sizes were generous for the cost. My friend said everything tasted great and highly recommended it. We also ordered spicy pork fries to share, which were tasty, however I felt the fries portion was lacking for the $10 price tag. Overall, Megabytes is a solid lunch spot that is a perfect place to grab a quick *byte* before heading back to the office!

    My best friend brought me here on a lunch date and the Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi sandwich was awesome for me. I brought my dad in that same week, we both killed the house + lemongrass, and I got to hear a story about dad eating these kind of foods in Vietnam before he became a refugee. I am slowly introducing more people to this place--my buddies are going to love this uniquely fun museum-like interior more than i do (I specialize in eating, not in motherboards). Service is down to earth and welcoming, clearly everyone enjoys their craft. +++ Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi + House Pork Banh Mi (adding a fried egg for moisture is super worth it)

    One of our favorite places to eat when we have off during the week! Finally remembered to take pics before we started eating. Food gets out quick, the workers are super helpful and friendly, and I've never been disappointed in my order. My go-to order is the lemongrass chicken banh mi, but I tried the loco moco combo this time and the gravy combined so well with the egg, burger, and rice! We initially came here for the video game theming, but the food has kept us coming back.

    After seeing all the good reviews for MegaBytes - I thought it was high time for a visit! Stopped in on a Friday morning around 10:00 am for breakfast - the place was close to full seating-wise. After looking over the menu - I opted for their Sausage gravy and biscuits - topped with an egg. It comes with one slice of bacon - so I added a side order of bacon to go with it. And a bottle of water. Paid with Apple Pay. They bring your food out to you when it's ready. I advised that I was "eating in" - but the food was still presented in a to-go container. Sausage gravy was good, egg was cooked perfectly - and the bacon was crispy and delicious! I like all the computer/video game tech decor all over the place: Old logic boards, video cards, processors, video game hardware, old video displays, etc. Service was good! I will be back to try out their breakfast burritos! #MegaBytesEatery

    This place is paradise for the bottled beverage enthusiast. I've never seen so many unrecognizable beverages at one time. Tried the orange ginger ale and thought it was good, of course the sugar content guaranteed it, but there are healthier options too (see pics). Sandwiches we tried are the lemongrass banh mi, steak and cheese, spicy chx and teriyaki chx tacos. Recommend the tacos and the banh mi. The steak and cheese is nothing to write about. He said the spicy chx was good in a different way. Everyone was pleasant and oh yea, there's Mario bros to play. Overall decent lunch spot.

    I've been going to Megabytes since 2015. Eventually, this unique cafe would become a place where my dad and I and eventually my daughter and I would come to leave behind the stressors of the world. Whether it be work, the pandemic, or politics, this would be the place where we would go to become kids again. It helps to have the best poutine in town as well as this ridiculously delicious deep fried pancake sandwich with perfectly cooked spam and a fried egg. Combine that with the calm and casual ambiance and the availability of retro video games from NES to N64. Since 2017, my dad would always gravitate towards the PS2 drum set. Every time I took him there, he would "practice his drums" up until this year. My dad died last month at the age of 91. One of the lessons he taught me is to always make time to play no matter how busy or crazy the world gets. I guess that's why this delicious little spot in Chantilly is so important to the community here. I'm proud to be a part of it.

Great Banh Mi, Bacon Bomb is Service has always been great, get ready to wait during lunch, they make everything to order so it takes a little while. P.S : Don't forget to ask for the chili oil

The chicken adobo here is tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, but the real star is the sauce. It's the most flavorful adobo sauce I've ever had--rich, garlicky, with just the right balance of soy sauce and vinegar, plus a slight sweetness that I absolutely loved. You'll be craving it long after your meal, and trust me, it will bring you back for more. But that's not all! We also tried their Shrimp Kalabasa, and it was just as incredible. The shrimp were plump and juicy, the kalabasa (pumpkin) was soft and naturally sweet, and the green beans added the perfect crunch. The sauce tied everything together beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. Despite the humble appearance of this restaurant in the Food Court, the chef here is top-rate--every dish is packed with bold, authentic flavors that stand out. Service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Next time, I'm definitely trying their sisig--if it's anything like the dishes I had, I already know it's going to be amazing!

    My experience at the lantern house this evening was awesome!…read more A little tucked away from the main Reston area in a slightly residential area with plenty of street parking and a parking garage, I was pleasantly surprised to find a little oasis of authentic Vietnamese fusion cuisine and delicious fresh mixed cocktails! Highly suggest the lychee mojito!! every person in our four-person girl group had two of these with deliciously plump fresh lychee on top of fresh mint, limes and just the right amount of rum to make you feel all warm inside! The decor was really nice too! Modern with a touch of fun and eclectic. Fortunately, my friends had already been here before, so I had plenty of good suggestions to consider. I opted for a plate that was heavy in vermicelli noodles, and upon ordering the server who took my order highly suggested that I order the woven vermicelli meal that came with lemon grass beef. I am so happy I listened to him because the dish was overflowing with delicious flavor and before I knew it, my plate was completely empty. Service was very kind, prompts and knew all the right suggestions to offer for a high quality experience. Plenty of delicious options for appetizers from classic favorites like fried spring rolls and rice paper summer rolls to savory entrées like short rib, hot pot Vietnamese noodle soups and fried rices. I can see why this place has quickly become a local favorite and why the ratings are all very positive! Lived up to the hype for sure! Thank you so much for an awesome dinner this evening! I really look forward to returning very soon.
