Pho 75 - Arlington, Va

Another lunch at Pho 75 for this wintry cold day.  They are very consistent with their pho.  I guess there's no reason to change a successful recipe.  They did manage to screw up my order, but it's really no big deal.  Pho is Pho.

Sopoong - Chantilly, Va

This is a little hole in the wall restaurant located next to the new Lotte in Chantilly. I ordered the Haemul Soon Tofu. It came with several dishes of panchan, which were very good and fresh. The Soon Tofu was very good. There was small amounts of seafood, but the tofu and broth were very good. Overall, I really liked this restaurant. It had a lunch menu which was very inexpensive.

Cafe Asia - Arlington, Va


I ate here for lunch today. I've been meaning to come here for awhile ever since I started working in Rosslyn. I ordered the Curry Laksa with Seafood. This is the first time I have ever ordered the dish so I'm not sure what to expect. It was the biggest bowl of noodles I have ever seen. I order it with egg noodles. The soup had a coconut base, it was a mildly spicy and had a little bit of sourness to it. Overall it was pretty good. I would come back, but will probably try something different.

Tenderjacks - Leesburg, VA

I went here for dinner with the kids. I had a crispy chicken sandwich with some steamed vegetables. The sandwich was pretty good. Overall the food was decent, but it was a bit pricey for what you get. Five dollars for a grilled cheese with fries and a drink is a little much.

Sala Thai Cafe - Pentagon City

This is located in the food court. I got the beef noodle soup. There were small pieces of beef, with rice noodles and bean sprouts. It wasn't a very elaborate noodle soup, but it was actually pretty tasty. They also had several dishes premade dishes, which I was tempted to get. The food was pretty good for a food court.

Ravi Kabob - Arlington, Va

We ate the Ravi Kabob for lunch today. It's been about 8 years since I've been there. I had the boneless chicken kabob with chickpeas and it came with rice and bread. The chicken was very tender. The chickpeas were very good and had a little bit of spiciness. The bread was good, but I would have liked a little more rice. But it was a good lunch.

Sakoontra - Fairfax, VA

We have eaten here before and it was actually pretty good. This time the food was average. We ordered chicken satay. It was dry and seemed old. The papaya salad was pretty good. The drunken noodles and seafood curry was good, but nothing too exciting.
