    Biscoff latte
    Manal C.

    A lovely spot! It was extremely spacious and the staff were so friendly! They had a power outage when I got there, which wasn't their fault at all, the staff handled it really well and let me hang out and get work done at the shop until they got power back and I was able to place my order. The biscoff latte was delicious and the cream topping was to die for!! I'll definitely be back to try their famous egg sandwiches!

    I stopped this cafe because I happened to be in the area and after seeing someone post one of the sandwiches they bought from this place I've been obsessed with trying it. First things first, parking. The stores have a parking garage that requires you to pay within 15-20 minutes I believe. I met a friend at another restaurant that validated but even if they didn't. Prices were pretty reasonable. When I first entered, the place was bright, clean, pretty immaculate. Everyone was either working or conversing with friends at various tables. In line with a cafe vibe. It was my first time there so I wasn't aware that you can simply order at the kiosks by the entrance. But the server was very friendly and was happy to provide input on the menu. But since I wanted to peruse the menu a bit more, I figured the kiosk was the best way to check out other items on the menu besides the sandwich that I knew I wanted. I ordered the hibiscus lemonade and the bulgogi egg sandwich to go. The sandwich was flavorful, the eggs were fluffy, the bread was soft and the sauce brought everything together. I could see why it was one of their best selling items. The hibiscus lemonade was delicious as well, though I'm interested in trying other drinks on the menu such as their smoothies. All in all I would definitely return and probably end up getting the same sandwich.

    BELT, LOX, HAM

    I have been here a couple of times now, and I have to say every time that I came here the sandwiches are amazing. I've had different kinds, the bulgogi and the lox and they were all amazing. I got to also try the BELT as well and as it's so simple I thought you really can't go wrong going down that path. The service was pretty much self serve, even down to the ordering. There's 3 tablets where you can just order your food, and after that they'll let you know when your order is up. There's plenty of parking (and they validate) and seating. Inside is an your usual industrial/modern type of cafe. Semicolon is great though for drinks and also the sandwiches, but I can definitely vouch for the sandos. If you're not here for that, then I would definitely recommend you to add that to the list.

    Bulgogi sandwich
    Theertha D.

    Stopped by Semicolon in Falls Church, VA for a quick bite. I got their Ube latte (with no espresso- not a fan of coffee) and this was so creamy and delicious. Had a nice coconut flavor to it. I also got the Bulgogi sandwich for which I'll give a 8/10. It was good but taste got overwhelming too quick. I don't know if it was because it was a bit salty. Nevertheless it was still good! The staff were nice and cafe was pretty cute!

    Great coffee, great breakfast. Ample seating inside for parties of 4 or more. You can order everything at the kiosk and they call your name to pick it up from the counter. They also offer free 2 hour parking if you park at Founders Row parking garage.

    Bulgogi sandwich, Chicken Sandwich (and I don't remember what the other names are)
    Elenna M.

    Love this place. The atmosphere is great for getting a drink and sandwich, then locking in and doing some work. On the other hand it is a great place to chat with another person or in a group setting. If you are a fan of corn, you musttt get the Sweekorn Cream! It is smooth, rich, and has the perfect subtle corn flavor, it's also not too sweet. If you're looking for something on the sweeter side, the Biscoff Cream Latte is perfect and decadent. The sandwiches are loaded and very filling, just on the messy side when you dig in and eat. Favorites are the Chicken Sandwich and ultimately the Bulgogi Sandwich. Definitely give it a try!

    Ube Latte
    Maya B.

    I tried the seasonal ube cream latte and margherita pizza pastry and they were both delicious! Quick and friendly service with a large amount of seating inside and not crowded so you can definitely stay to get some work done. They validate parking for two hours in the deck but you can also park in a nearby neighborhood and walk over!

    Avocado egg sandwhich
    Caroline R.

    Cute cafe with good working space. Was disappointed they didn't have matcha, so went for the Ube latte which was offensively sweet. The avocado sandwich was decent but for the price, could do better. Prefer other cafes in the neighborhood.

    Jamel V.

    This place has easy parking and is easy to find. The service is fast and friendly. You place your order at the kiosk and wait for your name to be called. The cafe is small but has enough space to sit with a friend and chat or grab a window seat to eat/drink and people watch. I have visited twice and had the same two items each time. The biscoff iced coffee and the bulgogi egg sandwich. Yum! The bread is soft and perfectly toasted and the biscoff cold cream MAKES the drink. I will continue to visit again and again!

    bulgogi sandwich
    Emily G.

    This is a really bright and spacious cafe with free wifi. The area seems to be up and coming, "Founders Row", with other restaurants and shops getting built. Free parking in the parking garage. There are instructions how to validate parking in the garage and in stores, and once we were at Semicolon cafe, there was a QR code to scan that validated our parking, which made our parking free. This cafe has kiosks to order food and drinks. Can also order at the cash register. I really like Semicolon's sandwiches. I felt full after; the drinks were also yum; the flavored lattes are true to the flavor while still having a strong coffee taste. I'd recommend!

    Beautiful swan latte art!
    Elaine C.

    The Korean style egg sandwiches here are to die for. If you can only try one, pick the bulgogi! The sweet thinly sliced beef goes incredibly well with the fluffy egg, veggies, and buttery brioche bread. They top it off with a squiggle of some kind of aioli that just takes it to the next level. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Espresso drinks are just as impressive. They use La Colombe beans. Note that cappuccinos (and lattes, I would assume) come in pretty large mugs. This was perfect for two people to share.

    I was so sad when Semicolon closed in Chantilly; and was super excited to know that they re-opened in Falls Church. Their shop is small and cutesy, it's perfect for that "coffee date" feel or "studying + coffee" vibes. They have a large parking garage next to them; the 1st hour is free and then after that it's about $1 every hour. I'm not sure if Semicolon offers discounts/validated parking but the cost isnt too bad. I ordered their SweetCorn Latte and the Chicken Sandwich. SweetCorn Latte: 4/5 - although it was so yum, it was def too sweet for me. (it tastes a lot like buttered popcorn) Chicken Sandwich: 4/5 - it's a korean grilled chicken sandwich with onions, lettuce and sauce. It's super saucy, so I would recommend sauce on the side if you don't like your sandwich drenched and your hands sauced! (I do think that their sandwiches used to taste better back when it was in Tilly's Kitchen. I just felt like it was missing something. ) Bulgogi Sandwich: 5/5 - i think it was so tasty and it was suuuper saucy as well; it was so saucy that the bread started falling apart. I can't wait to go back to try their baked goods and other sandwiches!

    BELT Sandwich
    Michelle L.

    The food and drink were all delish! Overall, I would totally come back but it is relatively more expensive. Biscoff latte: the tiny cup for $9? Quite crazy. I expected at least a slightly bigger cup. It tasted great, wish there were an option for a larger size when ordering... unless I missed it. I loved the flavor though, rich and creamy. Not too sweet BELT Sandwich: yum yum yum! Looks just like the photo! The sauce was so good and the bread buttery and toasted. Aesthetic af sandwich. The bacon, lettuce, tomato, and egg with corn in the egg was just so perfectly made. I think it was $12? All their sandwiches go from $11-13. Ambience: great place to catch up! Music was not too loud. Really clean feeling inside Pricey af: prob the only way for them to stay afloat in this apartment complex but dang. I guess everything is going up Parking: in parking garage with up to 2 hours complimentary if you scan the QR code on the wall Free WiFi

We said heck yeahhhh, so the decision was made AMBIANCE: Big space, pretty empty as we were one of the last people to eat before they closed! They were very accommodating-- letting us know their kitchen closed at 10:30 PM and the restaurant closed at 11 PM. When we arrived, it was 945, so we weren't looking to play around. We knew what we were gonna get. Onward we went SERVICE: My girl Arieles (PRETTY sure that's what her name was) was our server! She was so sweet and got us our stuff promptly. We knew we were coming in late so we weren't gonna waste time, but she was joyful to serve us regardless and I appreciate that. So many times people are FED UP, and it shows, to be at the end of their shift (and I get it), so it was nice to have someone of good demeanor to host us! FOOD: We ordered brisket, spicy pork belly, spicy chicken, and spicy bulgogi. First time trying the spicy Bulgogi for fear that it was gonna be TOO spicy and it was not at all! To reference -- I thought the kimchi was a bit spicier than the bulgogi! So try it, flavor is amazing! Can't wait to come again. I hadn't gone to KBBQ in a long while!

If I were to compare them with clothing brands, the top tier restaurants would be akin to Hermès: impeccable, yes, but you're refinancing your apartment just to sit at the counter. Takumi is Ted Baker: genuinely refined, quietly stylish, and doesn't require a second mortgage to appreciate. The fish is flown in fresh daily. There is no cream cheese within a 50-foot radius of this kitchen. No yum yum sauce. No roll named after a questionable life decision. Just pristine fish doing pristine fish things. The menu is tight -- bento boxes, focused apps, nothing that needs a paragraph of explanation. The fried oysters and squid tentacles are mandatory. Non-negotiable. Do not test me on this. Then the subtle flex begins: yuzu, truffle, shiso placed with quiet confidence, mango puree that sounds wrong and tastes right, an Old Bay finish that would make Maryland weep with pride, and a Kalamata olive that has absolutely zero business being this good on a sushi menu -- and yet. This is a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing and doesn't need your validation. For top tier sushi in Falls Church, go with Takumi if you skew towards traditional, go to Yume if you prefer modern more creative options.

As the name of this restaurant implies - the meats are the star of the show here. The self-serve veggie and noodle station leaves a bit to be desired - not the greatest selection - but sufficient for a hit of spinach or broccoli. I never see enoki mushrooms or crown daisy (Tong Ho) here - disappointing. Also, the floor gets unreasonably greasy to walk on about halfway through the day and stays that way for the rest of the night, so tread carefully! All of the meats on the standard AYCE menu are good/great quality. This is one of the only hot pots that does not require dipping sauce (even though I always concoct one anyways) because the broth is so permeating and flavorful. Best standard lamb I've ever had. Looking forward to trying the specialty lamb menu someday. So far it has been hard to resist the $21 midday weekday AYCE special, and the even better $17 "late night" AYCE special. This'll keep you coming back!
