My wife and I went here recently for our anniversary lunch and everything was delicious. Vegan fare for her and delicious protein options for me. Service was friendly, speedy, and excellent, and the vibe was chill. We will divinely be back! read more

Glow bowl was a solid dinner option on a lazy night after work! The color and vibe of the space in this restaurant is so nice and positive. I had a green tea and it was ok. This is a great option if you want something healthy and pretty tasty still. The unique menu items along with the customizability are the main draws for me. read more

Flower Child - Glow Bowl - New American Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Healthy vegan and vegetarian options, but nothing wowing. Most of the food tastes like it was heated up and my tofu with brown rice was overdone. I did enjoy the freshness of the kale salad, but was bummed at the lack of flavors in the tofu and the chicken yakisoba dish. read more

We came here on a whim but it was a pleasant surprise! We have a vegetarian friend in our group and she loved it - we all ended up ordering more Mac and cheese and queso (vegan never tasted so good)! :) The ambiance was so cute/flowery/positive vibes! The service and workers were all very nice too. *sesame noodles / corn & quinoa / smashed potatoes / mother earth bowl / chips & queso / sweet pot fries / mac & cheese / cauliflower risotto / thai chicken & shrimp bowl read more

This was maybe the 10th time I've been here and I can't enough of the atmosphere in the restaurant. It's a great reflection of the friendly staff and furniture, paintings, and other interior designs. The food is always coming out fresh and tasteful. It's always a joy here read more

Flower Child is such a gem! It happens to be right by my office, which makes it the perfect spot for a quick lunch, but honestly I'd come here even if it wasn't so convenient. They have a fantastic variety of healthy options--everything from flavorful wraps to fresh bowls and salads. The food always tastes great and feels wholesome without being boring. The ambience is another highlight. The restaurant is always spotless and has a really cute, almost hippie-chic vibe that makes it feel fun and relaxing at the same time. Pair that with service that's quick, efficient, and consistently friendly, and you've got the perfect spot whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down for a casual meal. Definitely a favorite in the area! read more

Very stylish and comfy ambiance with amazing food. The CHICKEN YAKISOBA NOODLES was delightful and the vanilla cherry sangria hit the spot! The service was quick. Nice to know they have a plethora of locations around the country, too. read more

I was intrigued by their website where it says they cater to all diets including vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, and gluten free, so I had to stop by. I ordered the chicken enchilada bowl. I was so pleased with my meal. It was absolutely delicious, very flavorful and the presentation was so lovely. I greeted upon entry, the young lady that took my order was kind and helpful, the restaurant itself is so cute, it really gives high vibes, I love the decor. I will be back. read more

Flower Child - Chicken Enchilada Bowl - New American Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Good food at a decent price. Outdoor seating was great, indoor was a little noisy. Portions are on the smaller side but I'm ok with that because the prices are reasonable. About what you'd pay for Chipotle and it's way healthier. Order at the front and they bring it to you. Everything went well and everyone was nice read more

I ordered something and waited in the outside seating and they completely forgot about me. I had to go inside and ask for my order. Food was good but I'm not running back to this place due to the poor experience. The ambiance was ok nothing amazing. read more

Absolutely outstanding! Came here on a whim because I had an appointment in the McLean area and got hungry for some lunch, so I decided to try out this place. Love it here - they have so many delicious hearty options that are also healthy. I decided to get the chicken yakisoba noodles and it was filling, nicely seasoned, and nutritious with the ample vegetables included in this dish. There is a parking garage right next door, so that helps with the headache of looking for parking. Check them out! Great place to go for a quick sit down bite. read more

Fresh, fast, healthy and delicious fare! This venue has an adorable maximalist design esthetic which I loved! It's bustling and a great spot for lunch or an informal meeting. Service was friendly and polite, but there is inconsistencies in the order ready announcements and many are just placed on the shelf rather than called out which is confusing for consumers. The shelf looks like a pick up or door dash shelf and most orders are verbally announced which again makes that usage without a announcement confusing. I'd recommend choosing one or the other and informing folks at check out to keep their eyes peeled on the shelf for their order so the entry area doesn't fill up with people waiting on orders. read more

Everything was marked GF on the menu. It was nice to go somewhere without worrying. I had sweet potato fries and chicken slices with a side of fruit. Honestly it wasn't worth the money, but the food was good. The portion was small for the chicken. There wasn't anything else on the plate, no greens or any other vegetables. Just a few slices of grilled chicken. It surprised me to have it served that way. My husband had the turkey salad. There was a lot of cheese. It was good though. He's not a person that has allergies or anything to worry about. I'm glad he found something to eat. Usually it's the other way. They have only lemonade and tea to drink. No soda. Paper cup for free water. I was surprised at the amount of paper and plastic in the restaurant. The utensils were actually silverware. Plastic straws. read more

Delicious healthy dishes bursting with flavor, I really enjoy some of the new dishes on the menu like Mushroom Bolognese. Mushroom Bolognese (5/5) - The new vegetarian menu item hits with spot with zucchini noodles , chick peas, mushrooms and tofu "sausage" in marinara sauce. While I'm usually not a fan of zucchini noodles, surprisingly I really enjoyed the dish and everything blended well together and healthy too! Glow Bowl (5/5) - Mild spicy kick and hands-down my favorite dish with sweet potato noodles swimming in a creamy coconut curry sauce and packed with veggies - snap peas, mushrooms, bok choy, zucchini, onion, crunchy sunflower seeds, topped with cilantro. The roasted Tofu is a nice protein add-on that absorbs all the flavors in the bowl. Sweet potato noodles are prepared well and can be tricky to cook as I have feebly attempted! Love the fun healthy stir-fry dish as all the ingredients and flavors blend well together. Forbidden Rice (3/5) - Super spicy stirfry with a heavy dose of grains. While I love grains, they overpower the dish and would opt for a lighter pour of the red chili hoisin sauce. This dish doesn't fare well for delivery with saucy grains and soggy veggies. Mother Earth (4/5) - Healthy salad on a large bed of grains packed with veggies - avocado, arugula, cucumber, portobello mushroom, sweet potato. The dish is also overwhelmed by grains and falls short on flavor. There isn't enough pesto and spicy red pepper miso vinaigrette It's a bit bland and not my favorite delivery option. There's not enough space in the narrow deep-set to-go containers to mix around the toppings. The grains remain on the bottom and can't be easily blended into the bowl. Wider harvest bowl style containers would fair better. Sweet Potato Fries (4/5) - While they were tasty and enjoyed the small portion, I wish they were crispier. The stellar customer service goes above and beyond during the pandemic (shout-out to Mark, the manager and Riley, one of the staff members) and they made a custom delivery and gave me gift cards to comp for an incorrect order. Great service! Flower Child's got a variety of delicious dishes and a truly wonderful and dedicated staff! Love coming back! read more

Tasty food but expensive for the portion sizes. This is based on ordering salmon entree and 2 sides.

The food was delicious, love to find a place with a lot of healthy gluten free options to choose from. Honestly it's rare that I find so much on the menu that I get overwhelmed. I over ordered and it was great. The service was not the absolute best, but I'm from LA and every time I visit the East coast it's a huge culture shock for me. Really cute spot, really good food options, service is to be expected for the area. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. You can taste the freshness. And the servers are so nice read more

Flower Child - Great flavor to their meat - New American Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Been several times to this location Flower Child. Always consistently good food that is healthy. It tastes clean but still tastes good, which is often a hard combination to hit! The quantity of food can vary greatly depending on what you order. Example - one of their seasonals, the Korean hot pot beef comes in the largest bowl ever with the food in the way bottom. At least fill it with more broth if you don't want to fill with food - it looked so sad. Parking in the garage can be validated. read more

Not going to lie, I honestly didn't think this place would be worth the hype. I'm also very picky about buying "healthy food" I can make at home. This spot though! SO GOOD and I'll deff be going back! I really enjoyed everything I ordered. They have such great clean and filling meals. I ordered the Mother Earth bowl with chicken and a side of Mac & Cheese. My gf ordered the Italian chopped with steak. I'll give my food a 10/10. I really liked how all the flavors went together perfectly! I was full for hours after eating all that food. The portions were generous It was such a great lunch date hangout spot. Even work spot for meetings. It's a casual ambiance. The service was good. You only really interact with staff at the register but she was super helpful about the menu options considering we've never been. read more

This place was gorgeous on the inside with a huge menu that all looked delicious! It was great option for my friend who was gluten free. The pricing for the size of food was incredible. I like that you had everything from salads, entrees with choices of sides, and then just regular entrees. Inside you had a nice option of sauces off to the side. The habanero sauce really added a great spice to my brussel sprouts and salmon. I love having affordable and healthy option right by my house! Can't wait to come back. read more

Love me some flower child! I like the casual dining setting and the food is always great. They switch up the menu based on the season so there's something new to try.

Flower Child - Brussels Sprouts & Organic Kale - New American Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Modern, cheery restaurant serving healthy dishes! I ordered the apricot summer salad, sweet potato fries, and avocado toast. The salad was a good size and I enjoyed the dressing and combination of fruits and veggies. They easily accommodated my request to remove the cucumbers. The avocado toast was decent--I liked that there was Parmesan on it because I'm a cheese fan! I just wish the bread was something more flavorful. The fries themselves were also good, but portion was a bit small. The sweet potato fries were served with ranch dressing. This location also has an enticing drinks menu. I didn't order any beverages, but they offer enticing sangrias and mixed drinks. There's easy outdoor seating, and the restaurant is right in the Boro, which is an amazing area to walk around on a warm summer day. read more

I'm pleasantly surprised and in awe of this place. I have never tried vegetarian food so this was a first for me. I got Avocado Toast, The " Forbidden Rice " bowl with added tofu and Lemonade. First off, the avocado toast was a surprise to me. It had Black Sesame and white cheddar on it along with a heavy spread of avocado all around. It was really good but would I get it again for the price? Not really. I do recommend trying it at least once. The " Forbidden " Rice was a bit interesting first looking into it. It had black pearl, red japonica, snap pea, bok choy, broccoli, carrots, onions, toasted sesame, and red chili hoisin. There's a lot of ingredients in this dish but it was really good. The tofu was something I added in because I could have went with an actual protein so I challenged my self to eat something a vegetarian would eat. It was really delicious! The lemonade was also pretty good, I think it was lavender lemonade and it wasn't too sweet either. It was refreshing! The place is pretty aesthetic; lots of ample room for a good photoshoot really. It was quiet when I came in, but I think the storm occurring at that time was also really bad. I can say that I'd love to try more options here. It's good healthy food, for a good price! read more

I've been interested in trying Flower Child for a while, since I'm always catching movies at the nearby ICON Theatres (https://www.yelp.com/biz/showplace-icon-theatre-and-kitchen-at-the-boro-mclean-3?osq=icon+theatre) and was intrigued by the restaurant's self-professed message of: "Healthy Food for a Happy World." Flower Child is one of the properties under the Fox Restaurant Concepts umbrella (https://www.foxrc.com/restaurants), and was founded by long time industry veteran Sam Fox, who famously partnered with Dr. Andrew Weil to launch True Food Kitchen back in 2008. According to their website, their mission is: "At Flower Child, we make every last bite from scratch, using fresh ingredients from close to home and serving healthy food that takes you to a happy place." There are many things to like about Flower Child. The décor is definitely keeping in line with the overall ambiance of the upscale Boro at Tysons town center, where Flower Child is located. There is a nice outdoor patio with for al fresco dining, and the interior is modern with the seemingly requisite poured concrete flooring, vaulted ceilings, and open concept dining room. Flower Child is what I would term a "hybrid fast casual," service model. Walk in and then make a selection from the large but not overwhelming menu and the counter staff will hand you a holder with your order number. When your food is ready, one of the friendly team members delivers the food to your table. There are also self-service water/beverage, utensils, and extensive condiment stations. Bonus that there are also take-out containers if you have leftovers at the end of your meal. While there are many vegan/vegetarian options, I opted to try the chicken yaki soba noodles. Chicken thighs are grilled and then wok seared with vegetables, sesame garlic sauce, and finally topped with roasted cashews. Did it taste like an "authentic" dish that I would get in a Japanese restaurant? No...but that's not the point of the dish. I would say that Flower Child's version was less "heavy" probably because they used less oil in the preparation, and I appreciated that the dish was very colorful due to the inclusion of all of the veggies. And I also liked that it wasn't overly salty, which is typical of this dish in other places; I did add a bit of sriracha sauce but that's mainly cause I enjoy some spice with my food. Overall, I like the overall vibe of Flower Child and can see myself dining here more often. read more

First time going here. Ordered for pick up and my meal was ready on time and the woman who helped me was nice and friendly. The bowl was fresh and very flavorful, with all the ingredients working well with one another. Although I did not dine in, the inside and outside dining area look very nice. The bowl was decently filling, but for $18, I would have wanted a bit larger of a portion. Also, I would recommend asking for extra of the red pepper miso vinaigrette if you get the Mother Earth bowl, as it was quite good but got lost once all the ingredients were mixed together. Overall an enjoyable lunch experience. read more

Was lucky enough to have Flower Child cater an event so I got to taste the Brussels Sprouts & Organic Kale salad, the CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO", the ROASTED BROCCOLI and the Mushroom Rosato which as you can tell I'm a vegetarian--and these dishes blew my mind they were so delicious! Cooked perfectly, each were filled with flavor! The Sprouts and Kale salad was topped with grapefruit, apples, not too much cheese and almonds--giving it a sweet and tangy flavor mixture. I've been to the Flower Child in Bethesda before to dine in, and can attest to their food quality as being top notch. For those who eat meat--the chicken dishes look delicious and other event guests were commenting on how flavorful the chicken was. 5 Stars for Flower Child! read more

Healthy food, great portion, great display of food, okay price, nice little place for a walk around there too. The only thing i don't like about this place is parking. There's a parking accross the street you'll havr to pay for or you can park in the garage or on thr street! This place have always been one of my american healthy food place with great vibe! I love that they have vegetarian options as well and their food are well seasoned. Perfect amount of food where its not too much and not too little. Quinoa corn are my fav for sides. The salmon, steaks are also my fav. read more

Pleasant, bright, spacious, and pretty place for a light lunch or supper...I've always loved their salads, and my kale salad with apples and grapefruit (minus the Brussels sprouts, added the steak) did not disappoint...the dressing was good and not overwhelming and the steak though a little dry was still tasty. Service was excellent-- friendly, helpful and prompt....this is a wonderful dining option if looking for something light and healthy.... read more

If you're looking for healthy food, with great portion sizes and this is your place. The service here is fast, fresh, and friendly. The sweet potato noodles were cooked to perfection. Cooked it slightly crunchy still, The sear on the steak was perfection and for the first time, I had the cantaloupe and cucumber Thai salad. The sauce was incredibly sweet and spicy. The salmon dish was grilled with a bit of a crunch, that soft on the inside. But the macaroni and cheese was the star of the watch the Mac n cheese. The sauce that enveloped the noodles was rich, smooth, and tasty. We would return again.. read more

Went here to use a gift card I got and I had never heard of this place before! Nice size menu, lots of options from bowls, to salads to sandwiches. The inside of the restaurant is really cute though I was just grabbing food to go. I ordered at the counter and the food was available in minutes. It was a bit on the pricier side, I got a wrap, a side, and a drink and it was $26 and change while my gift card was for $25. I would compare it to a healthier, nicer, more unique Panera? Overall food was great and I would come again! read more

Flower Child - Inside the restaurant - New American Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Funny story: I came here a couple years ago during Lent because I knew I'd find vegan options. I loved it! Thought okay if I enjoyed the tofu, I know the food can only get better from here. I kept asking my husband to go, but he associated it with vegan and never wanted to go. Finally, we have a vegan friend and we decided to take her here. Guess what, my husband and I have gone twice in one week now! So glad he finally understands why I liked this spot. They have lots of options; bowls, wraps, salads, entrees + sides. Something for everyone! I always try to get something new. First time I got the tofu with the Brussel sprouts and the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are DELICIOUS!!! Second time, I ordered the steak and the risotto. The risotto was amazing, texture and flavor were on point. What a good deal! $15 for steak and 2 sides??? Amazing. Third time, I got the chicken yaki noodles. So good and flavorful! So yeah, I really like this spot! I love the decor, the vibe is nice, it's warm and bright. The staff are helpful and friendly. Check them out if you're in the Boro! read more

This was my first time coming to Flower Child, I'm certainly more of a dive/greasy spoon type of person, but my wife always had her eye on this place so we gave it a try, and I was truly surprised. First off the staff and manager at this location were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful which really went a long way with our meal. The Rebel was very tasty, I was a bit hungry so the staff recommended extra steak, and it was filling, but trust based on my meal you will be fine with the regular portion. The horseradish in the horseradish yogurt wasn't overpowering, and gave it a nice tanginess so don't be scared of that in the wrap. The Butternut Squash Risotto was good but for the portion which was great I couldn't finish, it had more of a chew to it than I wanted. The flavor was great, I was just thinking it would be more leaning towards a softer/mashed potato feel and it wasn't that. Lastly the star of the show was the Chocolate Pudding...I know you might say "Really Pudding?" But hear me out it was really delicious...Like that extra scrape at the end delicious. It wasn't too sweet and very light. I also know from conversation with the staff that this location makes it different than other locations. So don't go to another location expecting to be blown away, only in the Tysons location can you get this treat. The vibe inside is really calm, organized and clean. I will most certainly be back to explore other options on the menu, and get some Chocolate Pudding. read more

Super cute fast-casual restaurant! Everything I had was delicious. I am looking forward to trying more items off the menu! Chicken: Well seasoned but the texture was on the drier side. Gluten Free Mac and Cheese: So good - my favorite item! The mac and cheese didn't feel too heavy and had a great Parmesan taste. Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potato: Loved the Asian inspired flavors. The crunchy, watery bok choy provided nice contrast to the other sides in the entree. However, some pieces of the sweet potatoes were hard and undercooked. Rose Petal Lemonade: Water with a hint of lemon and rose flavors. read more
