There's not a lot to get excited about here. This strip mall needs a facelift. When Safeway and…read morePetco are exciting, let's just say there's room to improve. Yes it serves a purpose, but a lot of stores here aren't all that super. Are there other strip malls like this? Absolutely. Taco Bell does good business. As for traffic, definitely be prepared for defensive driving. A lot of parking spot cutting seems to be a trend. Also I don't like leaving 236 from here, as the congestion and lights set up isn't helpful with moving vehicles. I wish the development could offer more. Yes there's a few restaurants and a laundromat. For me that means don't need to go here. Maybe others view it more favorably.

There is a reason that this little plaza always has a full parking lot. Afghan Kabob, Thai, Korean…read moreBakery, Bubble Tea, Korean Barbeque, Noodles, Thingamajigs and more are available in this one special spot. Nestled between a Popeye's and an office building, parking may be the only thing that limits the growth of these special treasures. A hint to those who may be frustrated with the parking situation - there is additional parking way in the back. There is also available parking in the adjacent mini strip mall where the pet store used to be as it is largely vacant. I advise against parking in the office building lot unless it is after 7pm.

I also like the range of restaurants: Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Afghan, Subway, McDonald's, Starbucks, carryout pizza, and even Boba Tea. We used the veterinary place once as a less expensive alternate for a rabies shot. I've never used the gym, urgent care, bank, 7-11, or martial arts space. I've never had any problem with parking other than the line to get onto Backlick Rd at the light.

Ravensworth Shopping Center is alright. Am I happy Kilroys, the Scout Store, and Lotte Grocery…read moreStore is here? Sure but this is like a lot of area strip malls. They are a blast from the past, as some of the better ones are mixed use. This one has a Dairy Queen, Walgreens, and United States Post Office. On the side closer to Braddock Road is Anita's and 711. These do serve a purpose. Getting in and out of here can be tricky. It gets congested on Port Royal Road, along with its convenience to the beltway exits. Some consider this helpful, I'm not so sure it is. Thank you to the company that owns this, as it looks better than it used to. That alone is a bonus. It works for basic purposes, so I'll give it a recommendation. Certainly it's not exciting or mind blowing, but it's a practical place to go.

Since my child has been home from college, she's been dragging me to every comic and anime shop she…read morecan find -- and this one was such a cute surprise! The store is filled with anime figurines, kawaii items, K-pop merch, stationery, and so many adorable finds. She picked out a super cute hat with ears that actually move, which was a huge hit. Everyone working there was very nice and helpful, and the shop itself was clean, bright, and well organized. I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone who loves anime, kawaii culture, or just really cute things. We'll definitely be back!

I recently took them to this shop to choose a treat and used it as a bargaining tool to get Korean bbq afterwards. We spent .. a LOT ... of time checking out every single aisle, and examining every single item so they could each choose a treat. My three-year old chose a little plastic pink bunny that holds (great quality) hair ties. My seven-year old chose My Melody washi tape. If I had no self control, I would have picked every single one of their pens, a Cinnamaroll claw clip, BTS pillow, and ALL the stickers. Luckily I looked at all the prices and stopped myself -- you can get a lot of the same things at Miniso for a better price these days. This is truly the place to get a hit of dopamine.

A conditional recommendation. There's just not a lot here. If you want to go to a decent Asian…read moresupermarket, that's at this strip mall. CVS and Subway aren't exactly exciting. This area of Annandale can be busy. That's because this is close to high density housing, a high school, and several elementary institutions. Heritage Road is a cluster. There's no getting around that. I'm also not fond of parking here. Spots are limited, and often you'll be surrounded by large vans, that make you more at risk for a bumper interview. If you are into basics this will have what you're looking for. Yet more often than not I'll simply drive by.
