From the "Sometimes Yelpers Be Basic" Review series…read more.. I love fried chicken. I always have and probably always will. I don't eat it all the time since it's not the healthiest food out there, but I have been known to indulge every so often. Fans of this treat have their favorite purveyor to satisfy their deep fried craving. Some people swear by KFC, Popeyes, Church's, while other's are more new school choosing Chik-Fil-A, Raising Cane's, or Zaxby's. While I've sampled some iteration of "fried chicken" at all of these places, do you know where my favorite fried chicken in the DMV is prepared? The Giant Food deli. Sounds crazy, I know; and even I wouldn't have believed it until I picked up an 8-piece order (I prefer the dark meat) and became a believer. This "conversion," if you will happened in early-2021 during the pandemic and almost purely by accident. I actually drove to KFC and then to Popeyes and couldn't get any chicken due to labor and supply chain issues (you remember those fun times, right?). So I popped in my local Giant Food and saw that an 8 piece order was on sale for $5.99 . I figured, the price was right and the food smelled good, so what did I have to lose? And when I got home and had my first bite, it was an enlightenment. The skin was perfectly GBD (golden/brown/delicious) and crispy, and the meat was moist and seasoned with just enough salt and spices. While I was only intending to consume 1-2 pieces and save the rest for the next day, I "may have" had 3-4 pieces since it was so tasty. As for any leftovers, I find popping them into an air fryer at 300 for about 10-15 minutes is perfect; an oven at 325 for about the same time also works well, but the skin won't be as crispy unless you use the broiler feature for the last 5 minutes of reheating. When I went back the next week to get another order, I was chatting with the guy at the deli who explained that all of the fried chicken is hand dipped and battered in each store, and fried constantly throughout the day. Explains why it taste so good. But admittedly, the trick is you have to time your visit when the chicken is fresh out of the fryer. Usually most of the deli's put their first batches into the fryer around 11:30am, so it's done at 12:15-12:30pm for the lunch rush / and then again around 4:30pm so the next batch is ready around 5:30pm. These are approximate times, so I'd check with your local Giant deli for their preparation schedule. As of this review, an 8-piece container is $7.99, which is still a heck of a good deal. There are usually combo deals available, where with the purchase of an 8-piece, you can also add a few "heat and serve" sides, and have a meal for less than $20.

I love getting my Thai tea, ginger tea, and turtle chips from there! Most recently, I tried the fruit ice cream, and it did not disappoint -- both the peach and orange flavors were amazing.

I definitely recommend going and taking your time to browse -- I promise there's something for everyone! The service is fast, and I've never had any issues, though nothing particularly standout or exceptional either. What I do appreciate is that even though they carry seafood, the store has never had a seafood smell -- it's always been very clean.

This is not an exact translation of the above, but I just want to express my appreciation again to WOW (Centreville location) for a truly impressive presentation of Korean food for my grandson's 1st birthday party. I chose the set menu, which was extremely convenient. I knew I could count on the food being delicious as I have ordered their weekly set menu in the recent past (roughly 4 servings included with a different menu each week). The food arrived ahead of schedule. WOW also prepared a warmer set so that the galbi would be warm when it was served. All the serving utensils were provided and the labeled containers were set out on the table by their staff. I left the dessert portion to the discretion of the owner and she matched her selection to the occasion. Everything was not only aesthetically pleasing (I received lots of compliments and questions about where to order) but also the food brought back childhood memories of my own mom's cooking - that was the best! Thank you again for your excellent service and for helping me to express my love to my daughter, my son-in-law and my grandson through your deliciously prepared food!

However after recently going, they raised their price of the meats by $7-8 which does not justify the 1-2 pounds of meat that you get in the bag.
