Today, 12/23/25, I visited this store to pick up a customer order. The counter clerk was unpleasant…read moreand unhelpful. She was also outright rude, acting as if she did not want to retrieve the customer's order. I asked for a manager; she resisted calling one and displayed an unnecessary attitude. When the manager finally came to the front, she was not helpful either. She did not look for the customer's order and simply told me it was not there. To justify not checking, she stated that she had already told the customer the store did not have the item they ordered. This store has EXTREMELY POOR customer service, and as an African American woman, I was led to believe that the behavior I experienced was prejudiced.

We have been here for a regular lunch and the Christmas Buffet. It was very good both times. The…read morelunch portions were huge and we really could have shared 1 dish. We had Biryani and Lamb Shank. Both were tasty and decently seasoned. The shank was fall off the bone tender as well. The desert was a bit bland but when we had the same dessert the next week at the buffet it was much better. Iw Ould also like to see more seasoning but overall I was satisfied both times as were the people I brought with me. The women who run the restaurant are also very nice and enjoy telling you about the food.

I remember this place when I was little and it was bustling with people. Certainly not as much as…read moreLeesburg, but it was pretty full in occupancy. Well its October 2025, and it was like a Ghost town and the food court was by far the saddest one. I think only two places were opened on a Saturday. Lots of stores are closed and the parking lot was completely free. Not much selection now in terms of things. They still have some clothing stores left, but not sparse in terms of styles. The food court is actually clean because of the low foot traffic and someone is constantly cleaning the place. They do have Tesla superchargers here so its a good place to charge and walk around. The chargers are in the corner of the lot and typically just walking to the bathroom and back and most of the charge should be done so not really much time left to wander. It was sad to see and kind of made me feel like life has moved on from my childhood.

For my recent visit, I was on a mission to find summer sandals. I stopped by Clarks, Cole Haan, Crocs, and Ecco. I found a pair of black sandals at Cole Haan. Mission accomplished! I have to say that the employees at this outlet are way friendlier than my local outlet over at Arundel Mills. I was greeted at almost every store that I went into. Since Lakeforest Mall closed years ago, this is the closest mall to my parents who live in Germantown. I like to shop here when I am in the area.

I am reviewing the food court, not the grocery store. The grocery store is huge for an Asian…read moregrocery store, and I would go there if it was closer to my home. The food court has several different stores; I went to the one near the dining tables that has entrees and combo plates. I went on the recommendation of my mechanic who is from Taiwan. The cashier told me up front what the menu items were that they did not have. I ordered the noodle soup with egg noodles and roast pork. It was a decent size portion with lots of roast pork, bok choy and thin egg noodles in what tasted like chicken broth. The dining area is communal tables where you share space with other diners like many Asian restaurants. It is a space for a good, cheap, quick meal not a place where you would linger. I will go back for a combo meal; I didn't see them until I had already ordered. The meals started at $7.99.

From noodles, rice , all the fresh veggies…read more My favorite has got to be the seafood area, where you pick your fish then ask them to clean, cut, fry or crispy fry. The one difference this time, they put up the glass border, we no longer able to self serve our own fish, instead you take a number, waiting to be called and they ask what you wanted. I honestly prefer it that way too! And last but not least, dim sum, and hot food bar located in the food court on the back. Would come here occasionally to pick up items from there during lunch time.

Oh my gosh this Banh Mi was AMAZING! The name of the business really says it all. So thankful they…read morehave a vegan option I was able to order, and a side of fries for my picky toddler. I appreciate there was an employee able to confirm for me that the tofu Banh Mi is vegan. I ordered that with a side of fries. The sandwich was ready quickly and for a food hall I thought the presentation was lovely. My husband and I split the tofu Banh Mi. The bread was soft with a little crunch on the exterior. The lemongrass tofu was light in flavor and a nice firmness. The veggies and flavor of the Banh Mi overall was refreshing and I enjoyed how hearty this meal is without making me feel too heavy. The French fries are superb! My toddler almost ate all of them. They have a good amount of seasoning and look upscale. Definitely not your standard fast food fries. I thought the portion size and the price was so reasonable and I will definitely be back for another Banh Mi or to try more of their vegan offerings.

So we ordered the Pork Spare Rib Noodle Soup (Ramen) for pick up. It was very flavorless; I had to…read moreadd some of my own flavor (hoisin, soy sauce, hot sauce, etc), and It still was lacking. The pork did not have pork texture (which was interesting... felt like beef, though I know it was pork). Ironically, we also ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup which was delicious! It was a bit greasy though. I would go again because I have had other foods from this place and it was good. So I chalk it up to just a bad day. I actually went back in person and ordered the braised beef, and it was tasty. The chef was very accommodating to change the noodle to rice noodles for me. My husband ordered a Bahn Mi. He enjoyed it.

It's a huge spot with a number of tasty global eats, including Thai, Brazilian, West African, and Mexican of course! ;) Residents of 8200 Dixon get 10% off every meal since it's directly connected to the building. There's pool tables, several TVs, foosball tables, checkers, chess and just about anything gaming related spread throughout for fun. Oftentimes on the weekends, there's a DJ spinning and local vendors doing pop ups. Big games (NFC championship, March Madness, NBA finals) get a lot of activity here, so it's best to arrive early to nab a prime "bar seat". While it's lacking in "full arcade" games like D&B, it's way cleaner and a better "grown up" option than the former. Meals run from $9-18 on average which won't break the bank. People often come here to WFH since it's generally quiet during the work day. I wish they'd add a coffee spot (sorry local biz, but Starbucks would make a KILLING HERE, I'd personally spend $100 easy lmaoo) but overall no complaints!

We tried almost each restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by all. We started out with juices from Passport juices, owned by 4 Black men and who made us feel so welcomed into the space. They were all so friendly and informative! Their juices are amazing! So refreshing and we ended up ordering twice lol I got some Thai food (sweet potato noodle Korean stir-fry) that looked beautiful with a large portion. The flavor lacked depth but was still worth it My absolute FAV?! The street corn fire grilled PIZZA!! I even customized it and added Birria meat and it was amazing!! We tried the African inspired ice cream for dessert and the flavors were so unique!! A little on the pricey side but with the ingredients, it's understandable!! Each person was so friendly and attentive! So much space to choose seating and they have multiple options! Games to play and TV's to watch. They also have a HUGE bar and we heard about their happy hour specials. They do have a Mocktail list as well! Highly recommend!
