First off I want to start off by saying the staff here was incredible. I was with my family and did…read morenot have the opportunity to get names, but every single staff member I saw was working hard, diligently, and with haste. Our server immediately greeted us with a great big smile, she took our drink orders and described some of the drinks to us. We put in an order for 2 spring rolls and 2 eggs rolls which were to die for. Perfectly crunchy, crispy, and full of flavor with great dipping sauce! They came out piping hot and delicious. I also got egg drop soup which simply cannot be beat. The soup was not too thick and not too thin or watery. The green onions were fresh. The crisped wontons had just the right amount of crunch. Together the dish was savory and delightfully flavorful. Now, my guest can often be difficult to please (as food must be extremely specific), but it's not ever usually a problem that a "good restaurant" can't handle. They handled it perfectly. We got the chicken with two winter veg, no sauce or mushrooms and add water chestnuts. It came out exactly that way. Perfect. Not only perfect but steamed to perfection. I also got the chicken w winter veggies--with sauce-- which is a brown gravy. What can I say OTHER than it was also perfect!! The meat was cooked to tender, not dry. The veggies were bright and deliciously tender, but still had a gentle crunch (the ultimate dish style!). My husband got the orange chicken and the spice was absolutely divine. The orange chicken sauce was pungent and sweet. If you like heat, this one is for you!! The chicken was crispy under the layer of aromatic, REAL orange flavored sauce. My other guest got the Mandarin combination plate, which featured a host of veggies, surf and turf meats, and a spicy brown sauce on top. Again, meat and veg cooked to perfect tenderness, with the veggies snapping and crunching just enough but tender enough to enjoy. Drinks were a teapot for the table (which may have been a bit strong for my guests, but I drank it!) A coconut punch (non alcoholic), which is a virgin iced Pina Colada. I didn't expect that, but I still guzzled it down. It came in a parrot glass, too!! So fun!! The rest of the table got coke and tea and were just as good. (Yes I tried everything). And we came here because we've been seeing their really amazing TikToks and want to contribute to bringing this WONDERFUL restaurant back into the folds of the community and wrap them in support. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

Stumbled on this spot trying to avoid some of the DMV traffic. They are located in a strip mall…read morewith tons of food options. After walking in, it reminds me of an inner city takeout spot. Behind the counter is protected with plexiglass. Even the area where you receive food has a door to open and close. Cashier was nice and the service was super fast! They have a small waiting area with chairs to wait for your order. I was in and out in under 10 minutes. The food was so good I wish I lived closer. Egg drop soup was thick and rich, chicken wings were crispy and flavorful. The fried rice was so fresh it was steaming out of the container. Will definitely stop next time I'm passing thru the area!

The service was amazing. Never had to wait for a refill on my drink. Food was all around good…read moreexcept one thing. Alot of the food was spicy and you could see what I could assume were jalapeños or large green chili's, sliced up and in with, well, any meat(beef or chicken) that had a sauce. Like general shos, teriyaki chicken, beef and broccoli, garlic shrimp,etc. Foods along those lines. They were all just spicy. I understand these foods are traditionally spicy, but maybe in a buffet setting, you should go ALL NON-spicy. Not everyone eats spicy food. If you want people to have the spice option, then keep a bottle of some sort of traditional chinese hot sauce on the tables. So if someone wants to make their food spicy, they can. But other than that the food was very good. The sushi was sadly just ok. I mean the more fancy the roll the better it was. The rice was a little dry. So id say theres room for improvement on the sushi. But all in all, I loved the place. I will be back. The ambiance was very nice too. It looks like they've gotten all new tables and chairs. And the place seemed very clean. 7 out of 10, id recommend!

The building was very hot. We were sweaty almost immediately. I went with my sister and my wife. We…read morewere there for 20-30 minutes and our waitress gave us the end of our meal tray with fortune cookies on it and told us to have a good rest of our day. We weren't finished, and were allotted 2 hours to our spot at the buffet. She came back around while we continued to talk and enjoy our two hours and gave me the receipt. Instead of leaving while I paid, she stood and waited for me to finish signing the check. She saw that I did not leave a tip (it was 67 dollars for 20 minutes and we felt rushed) and verbally said "no pay?" I felt pressured to leave 5 dollars while she looked over my shoulder. I returned the receipt and she said "just 5?" And I said "yes," and then she corrected my math on the receipt because I hadn't changed the total. We rushed out, uncomfortable and deciding not to return. I've never had a waitress (who we only saw once before she rushed us out) force me into a social situation where I felt obligated to tip. I don't make a lot, I was taking my loved ones out to enjoy 2 hours and got 20 minutes and a really uncomfortable experience both due to the humidity and the staff. The food was OK. Everything was mostly dry, but decent. Not worth 73 dollars.

We stopped at Coco Bay Kitchen & Tea House while heading home from Richmond. We were curious to see…read morewhat Waldorf had to offer when it came to Vietnamese food, and this little spot caught our attention. We ordered a mango peach smoothie with peach popping bubbles, garlic noodles, pineapple skewers, and a few other items. Our total came to just under $60. The atmosphere is casual, and I like that the restaurant is part of a small shopping area, giving it more of a neighborhood hangout feel. Unfortunately, the food was a mixed bag for us. The garlic noodles were disappointing. I've had some outstanding garlic noodles before--especially the ones we first discovered in California--and these just didn't come close in flavor. The pineapple skewers were better. They had a nice combination of pineapple and vegetables, although there was more vegetable than meat, with only a few pieces of meat on each skewer. I would order them again, but I wouldn't make a special trip to Waldorf specifically for them. We didn't try the pho or enough of the menu to give a complete review, so I'm definitely leaving room for the possibility that there are some hidden gems we missed. Overall, our experience was just okay--nothing bad enough to keep us from trying it again, but nothing that made us say, "We have to come back." If you've been to Coco Bay, I'd love to know what you recommend. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things!

The customer service was amazing from start to finish. The restaurant is beautiful inside, with…read moreplenty of seating and a relaxing atmosphere. I was really excited to try the brown sugar latte because I had an incredible Vietnamese coffee while visiting Tennessee. Unfortunately, this one was a letdown. It tasted mostly like milk and syrup, with very little coffee flavor, and it was overwhelmingly sweet. I was disappointed because I had such high expectations. I also noticed they have a "no refunds" policy posted, so I didn't bother taking it back. Even though the drink wasn't for me, I'd still be willing to return to try their pho, as I've heard good things about it. It just won't be anytime soon.

Only suggestion i'd have is to upgrade the seats because the food is too good to be eating it on duct daped benches.

My husband and I recently visited The Tpot, and overall I'd give it 4 stars…read more The concept is fun and different. It's an all-you-can-eat experience where the food is brought to your table and you cook it yourself. The service was the highlight of our visit. Our server was wonderful, the hostess was welcoming and full of personality, and another staff member even stopped by to make sure we were being helped. That level of attentiveness is rare and appreciated. We ordered quite a variety, including squid, shredded chicken, shredded beef, shrimp, rolled beef, top steak, and several sushi selections. Most of the food was good, and everything arrived promptly. The sushi was decent, though not quite as fresh as I expected. I was also surprised that the top steak came as small cubes rather than a steak portion. The biggest disappointment was the no take-home policy. As first-time visitors, we didn't realize how much food would come with some of our orders and ended up leaving a significant amount behind. It's frustrating to see good food go to waste after you've already paid for the meal. The restaurant itself could use some updating. Several booth seats were worn and cracked, with foam showing through the upholstery. At $32-$37 per person, the dining area should feel a little more refreshed. For drinks, I had the Lychee Martini, which was weaker than expected, and my husband tried one of the Ocean cocktails and thought it was just average. He ended up ordering his usual tequila shot and a beer afterward. The drinks weren't bad, but they didn't live up to the rave reviews we had read beforehand. Overall, we enjoyed the experience, especially because of the excellent service and unique dining concept. With a few updates and some reconsideration of the leftover food policy, this could easily be a 5-star experience.
