    I usually stop in this particular location to grab a smoothie but today I switched it up. Really happy I did because that Açaí bowl was super delicious!! Overall, this location always has fast service and staff have great recommendations.

    yum!

    i used to avoid this location like the plague because the smoothies used to be so watery. however, i recently returned and the quality of the smoothies much improved.

    6/15/21 Pretty soon Tables, Ladders and Chairs will be back...oops, maybe not so much the ladders. Oh, add watermelon to your order.

    6/13/21 Time goes by and only traces of this Coronavirus Pandemic remain. The bathrooms are still closed off to the public; as well, as tables and chairs not being in use. Still the food quality at this restuarant is outstanding and so is the service. I haven't been to this store in a while, but the blueberry smoothie with watermelon was delicious. I am thinking about getting another one this coming weekend. I am happy to be able to walk into this store and not have to wear a mask. Some people are coming out of the mask shell and smiling faces are a great thing to see. Regardless of one wearing a mask or not, the most important thing I saw at this store is the respect and common courtesy everyone gave. Outstanding.

    The 3 stars is for the customer service at this location (or lack thereof), not the smoothie. The girl at the register didn't smile or greet me upon walking in, and there was a dark hair wedged under the top in between the edge of the cup. It wasn't hanging over the actual smoothie so I just prayed over my drink because I didn't want to return to complain. The actual smoothie wasn't bad. This was my first time at a Tropical Smoothie, because I'm not a huge go-out-and-buy-a-smoothie kind of person. But I was out running errands and had forgotten my bottle of water and wanted something cold. I know that a lot of smoothie places are calorie traps, so I Googled "healthiest smoothie from Tropical Smoothie" and this article came up suggesting the Detox Island Green Smoothie. For $5.82 I got a huge cup that I don't know if I'll be able to finish. At first I thought it was too tart and needed sugar (obviously my taste buds are conditioned!) But after drinking more, I decided I could live with it. It tasted...well, green. LOL. With a hint of ginger. Will I return? Maybe if I'm craving a smoothie and am in the area. But I doubt it. My water bottle usually does me just fine.

    Special Thank You to the manager of the Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Shaheeb Sahidi (Alex) and my favorite staffer Mira at 6110 Arlington BLVD Falls Church Va for making every morning Awesome. Working in a Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorder Center can be emotionally challenging and overwhelming. Most mornings I would pop into Tropical Smoothie for either a Bahama Mama or a Lean Machine with the fat burner and energizer. I have never felt so welcomed and appreciated as a customer. Alex always welcomes me with a knowing smile, he knows what I want and he always remembers my name! As for Mira I can't say enough about her warm welcoming mannerism, she is truly a wonderful gem. Thank you so much Alex and Mira for starting my mornings with such grace.

    Sometimes on a hot day you just want a nice smoothie. My favorites are the sunrise sunset, mango magic, and the Bahama mama smoothie. If you like sweet I would highly recommend those. You can also ask for a smaller cup to split your smoothie because the regular is huge. Theres also supplements you can add to your smoothie if you want the extra boost.

    I am a big fan of Tropical Smoothie Cafe (TSC). This location was great! Service was quick and the staff was very friendly. When I asked about one of their campaigns to support camp sunshine the young lady who rang me up was informative, kind and well spoken. Smoothies and food were phenomenal as usual. As far as cleanliness there is room for improvement, but I will back! My boyfriend and I ordered the Island Buffalo Chicken Wrap...the ingredients were fresh and the wrap was huge! Very good. For smoothies, lean machine and triple berry oat. Yum!

I wanted to ask the front their opinion on their recommendations. I ended up getting a dragonfruit sugarcane drink. If you do no ice, it's a dollar extra.

I'd try the original next time if I'm being basic or passionfruit, ginger, or something citrusy if I wanted something different and that gave a different flavor profile than the sugarcane.

It was pretty busy inside but ordering is easy as there are two kiosks you can use to order from. There are options from Pennywort, Che, to Snail and Vietnamese Street food snacks. Once your order and get your order number a worker at the front will yell your order number to pick up. I got the Three Bean Dessert Che. One thing I really like about this Che is the ice they use. I'm used to just having a block of ice on top and having to break it apart but the ice they use here are little squares/blocks which is a nice touch. After mixing everything together the Che overall was pretty good. I don't have any complaints about it. The ambiance inside is pretty nice. They were playing Vietnamese music which is a nice touch. They don't have as many Che options as a Bambu but they make it up for it by having options for other style desserts or food.

My Pikachu drink was sooo good! I wish I had gotten the larger one instead. I've never had a yogurt tea drink and this was a great first experience! The chicken karaage was just as delicious! And there was a LOT for the price. Actually, pricing for everything seemed pretty good! I sat inside and enjoyed the Asian pop music in the background while enjoying my order. I was so impressed that I ordered another drink to go, the Brown Sugar Tiger Milk w/o toppings. I don't like super sweet drinks so I always order 10% sweet. It was still pretty sweet even cut down! It was good but a little too sweet for my liking while the Pikachu was the right amount of sweetness at 10% sweet. This location didn't have the Ube Milk Tea but that just means that I'll have to venture to support one of their sister locations so that I can try that drink, too!

I first tried the assorted kebabs. Unfortunately, the chicken had dried out and the kofta felt too crumbly.

The lamb rice dish had both aromatic rice and juicy, well seasoned lamb. I ended up combining the lamb pieces with the chicken rice. Out of curiosity, I tried a piece of their fried chicken. It proved juicy and not too oily. It would do well as a standalone appetizer in most restaurants. I also tried something that looked like lasagna, but without tomato. It tasted, to my uncultured palate, like a lasagna with some sort of cream or bechamel-like sauce. I quite enjoyed it. For dessert, my friend convinced me to try what I had initially passed over as oatmeal or tapioca pudding. The Omi Ali proved quite delectable, like a cross between bread pudding and oatmeal but with more nuanced spices and sweetness. I added it to my short list of desserts I enjoy, since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Overall, I appreciated the breath and variety. Some hits and misses are to be expected at a homely, ethnic neighborhood style buffet.
