    I was super excited that they finally opened an Insomnia Cookies near me! I used to go all the time down in Blacksburg or in Georgetown but finally there was one less than 15 mins from me. To start off -- the service here is amazing! Even when they're in a food rush the staff is always so nice and makes sure that the order is always correct. Off to the food review! They have a variety of cookie options with new specials every season(?) My favorite is the oatmeal cookie and also the vegan chocolate chip. The cookies also go really well with their ice creams. They have an option to do a cookie sandwich but I like getting my ice cream on the side since I hate when the ice cream falls out when I bite into it. All in all, this is a very good place to get cookies!

    We were the first ones in the store.

    I scheduled a actual Insomnia Cookie bike ride 15 miles for a group of ladies. The location is great - they don't open until 12 on Sundays but we planned accordingly. The young lady who waited on us was so patient with all of our questions. The smell OMG you can imagine. Can't wait to go back. Check out the website before you go- soooo many options. I was boring and just got regular chocolate chip. Everyone else walked out with boxes of cookies. Oh one more thing - they dont accept cash (except for the tip jar)

    The cute shop hidden in the back side of university mall. Plenty of parking and open late. The deluxe cookies are a great treat! We got a four pack, and even two days later, they were still soft! I love their variety of flavors with my favorite being the s'mores. My son loves the funfetti and the triple chocolate chip. They also serve ice cream which we didn't try, but will definitely come back when it's a little warmer!

    Still yummy. This spot is still a bit hidden behind the main shops at university mall. We had and enjoyed the chocolate chunk and m&m and snicker doodle. The peanut butter was ok I probably will pass next time. Tastes so good warm.

    Tasty cookies! I just wish they warmed up the cookies, or if that is an option, they didn't tell me. The peanut butter cup cookie had large chunks of Reese's cups that were delicious, but the center felt a bit undercooked. The white chocolate was my favorite and still soft and chewy despite not being warmed up. My least favorite was the chocolate chunk cookie because it tasted a bit burnt and was kind of hard. Service was quite slow and the cookies are not worth waiting in line for if you want a quick late-night snack. It's a small store, so long lines can make the entrance cramped. Overall, the I enjoyed the cookies, but would not come back.

    The last time I saw an Insomnia Cookies was in New York! What a nice surprise to see one that is now local in NOVA! Strategic that they placed it right by the GMU campus too. Stopped by on a Sunday around noon. It wasn't busy at all. Got a box of 12 cookies plus one extra free cookie for National Cookie Day! At about $2 a cookie, these were good. Maybe a tad bit overpriced because of their size, but I think it might be because of inflation. Regardless, I prefer these over Crumbl cookies. They are crispy AND chewy and have a good ratio of ingredients. Yum!

    I placed my order on their very easy to use website. I accidentally didn't adjust the pickup time and I was able to call the store and have it corrected. The employees are knowledgeable and efficient. When I arrived, my cookies were ready and piping hot. What a treat to get cookies seemingly fresh out of the oven. I like the concept and all the cookies were pretty tasty. However once the cookies cook down, they lose their luster and "specialness" and return to normal cookie status. So my advice is to eat these immediately!

    Insomnia Cookies brings me back the memories of days and years in NYC as that was when I first encountered them. I was sooo ecstatic when I found out that there was one in Fairfax! The smell of fresh cookies always bring me happiness, and love how that's the first thing I sense as I enter the store. The owner? (a nice gentleman...) who works during the weekday mornings/afternoons are so friendly, which makes the cookie purchasing experience extra positive! Their cookies are taken out of the warmer for each customer, so you are always guaranteed for warm cookies. I love how they package them in a box so that the cookies stay in tact, and not get crushed or squished during transit. Side Note: 1. The shop is located at the back of the shopping center, so don't look for it up in the front area. There are plenty of parking spaces available. 2. They close really late...1am most days except during the weekends where they close at 3am. 3. The more cookies you buy, the cheaper it will be due to a slight discount. Each classic cookie is $2.50 (deluxe is a little more...). But there are 4-packs, 6-packs, etc. that will cost you less than the original price of the cookies if buying individually. The deluxe is considered all the fancier ones and seasonal cookies--I always opt for their classic chocolate chip cookies as they are THE best and the most delicious out of all, lol. 4. You can also have the cookies delivered to you--but need to be within the certain range. And they also offer curbside pick up. Price: $

    Great cookie and ice cream. Customer service was horrible and rude. Pretty sure the kid was tired but give me a break and don't be rude.

    This is my first time trying a meal delivery service. I am just about to start a major kitchen reno…read moreand didn't want to eat take out every single night, so I decided to give Chef Swole a try before the reno starts. I have to say, my husband and I are VERY pleased and have gone past our one week "trial run" and are now entering our third week. First, I feel like I spend wayyyy more money than this at Whole Foods every week, and only get a few meals out of it. Second, I am a working mom, and by the time I get home after being stuck in traffic, cooking is the last thing I want to do. Dinner is done, and I can spend more time with my daughter when I get home. Third, the food is really, really good. Ingredients are high quality and what I'd make at home if I had the time. Fourth, portions are awesome. We signed up for the deluxe, and I split my meal with my daughter (15 months old) and I am more than full. My husband is always full off of one meal too. Sometimes for lunch we will even split a container in half and be fine (and we get more meals out of it!)

    I've ordered 3x now I believe and I would have to say the last delivery was the absolute best. I…read morelove Asian foods and he hit it out the park that week. Food taste: In other weeks, I've had to add my own sauces. I always order the deluxe portion for 20% more food because the regular size is too small for me. I cook and add more veggies because most prepared foods don't give me enough. The only thing I needed to add to these last meals were a pinch of salt, but this makes sense because the food is made for all types of people. Delivery: I love the fact that the food is delivered to my doorstep. They deliver on Sundays and seem to be providing service every other week now. There are 4 options available but you can adjust how many servings you want of each meal. Service: No issues and I get a prompt response each time.

    Hidden gem for Lao and Thai food. Everything we ordered was excellent: Pad Thai, drunken noodles,…read morenahm tuuk, and crispy rice. Visiting from Alaska - made just like my mom does. Highly highly recommended.

    We had experienced Thai cuisine across multiple states and countries, we always approach new Thai…read morerestaurants with excitement and hope. Thai Mom caught our attention, and we walked in with high expectations based on the buzz we'd heard. Service & Atmosphere: I have to give credit where it's due - the service at Thai Mom is genuinely excellent. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, attentive, and friendly without being overbearing. They checked on us at just the right intervals, refilled our water promptly, and seemed genuinely invested in making sure we had a good experience. The hospitality alone made us want to love this place. The Appetizers - Where Thai Mom Shines: We started with their BBQ pork skewers, and honestly, these alone are worth mentioning. What sets Thai Mom's version apart is their unique preparation style - it's noticeably different from the standard BBQ pork skewers you'll find at most Thai restaurants. The meat had great char and flavor, and the accompanying sauce was tasty with a nice balance of sweet, savory, and tang. This dish gave us real hope for the rest of the meal. The fried calamari came next. Yes, the portion is on the smaller side, especially if you're sharing, but the quality makes up for the quantity. The batter is well-seasoned and achieves that perfect crispy texture without being greasy. The calamari itself was tender and fresh - clearly not frozen rubber rings. A solid execution of what could easily be a throwaway appetizer. We also tried the crispy pork slices. While the slices are quite thin (thinner than I prefer, honestly), the sauce they're served with is absolutely awesome. It's got depth, complexity, and that perfect balance that makes you want to lick the plate. The sauce honestly does the heavy lifting here, but sometimes that's all you need. The Entrees - Where Things Fell Apart: Unfortunately, this is where our experience took a disappointing turn, and I'm genuinely puzzled by the disconnect between the appetizers and mains. The boat noodles were our first red flag. If you've had authentic boat noodles - whether in Thailand, at hole-in-the-wall spots in Thai Town, or even at some of the better Thai restaurants stateside - you know there's a very specific flavor profile: deep, rich, slightly funky, with that characteristic broth that's been simmered for hours. Thai Mom's version was missing... something. We couldn't quite put our finger on what exactly, but the soul of the dish just wasn't there. The broth tasted flat and one-dimensional, lacking the complexity and depth that makes boat noodles so addictive. The Kapow fried rice was even more disappointing. Kapow (holy basil) is literally in the name of the dish, yet there were barely any leaves to be found. What we got tasted more like a standard Chinese-style fried rice heavy on soy sauce - not necessarily bad, but completely missing the point of what makes Kapow fried rice distinct. Where was the aromatic punch of holy basil? The slight heat? The wok hei? It felt like someone made fried rice and just labeled it "Kapow" without understanding what the dish is supposed to be. The real letdown, though, was the Ba Mee Moo Dang (egg noodles with red BBQ pork). Given how excellent their BBQ pork skewers were, we had high hopes for this dish. Instead, the red pork tasted boiled - like it had been poached or steamed rather than given that signature charcoal BBQ treatment that creates those crispy, caramelized edges and smoky depth. It was a completely different product from their appetizer pork, and not in a good way. For a dish where the pork is the star, this was a significant miss. The Verdict: Here's the pattern we noticed: every single appetizer we tried was good to excellent. Every single entree we tried ranged from mediocre to disappointing. That's not a coincidence - it suggests that either there's a different cook handling appetizers versus mains, or the kitchen's strengths lie in smaller, simpler preparations rather than complex entrees. As someone who reviews restaurants regularly and understands that every place has off nights, I wanted to give Thai Mom the benefit of the doubt. But the consistency of the appetizer quality versus the entree quality suggests this isn't just a fluke. Would I Return? Honestly? Probably not for a full meal. If I were meeting friends for drinks and apps, Thai Mom would be a perfectly fine choice - the service is lovely, the BBQ pork skewers are legit, and the atmosphere is pleasant. But for a proper Thai dinner where I'm craving those comforting, soul-satisfying entrees? I'd look elsewhere. Three stars feels fair - it's squarely "it's okay" territory. The excellent service and solid appetizers keep it from being two stars, but the disappointing entrees prevent it from reaching four. Thai Mom has potential and clearly has talent in the kitchen, but they need to bring that same care and authenticity to their main dishes.

    For context, I ordered food through the Too Good To Go app (leftovers at a discounted price)…read more Pickup was during a day/time that the business was shown as closed on the map apps. The store can a bit difficult to located. It is located on the first floor within an office building - plenty of parking. Access was available through a glass door in the side of the building, near the dumpster and package drop box. There is a sign indicating what number customers should call for the staff to come out. A staff member welcomed me in and brought me to the store since it was so cold outside, which I appreciated. It was cute inside and the staff member was so nice. Included in my bag was spam musubi, kimchi tuna onigiri, and a few other types of onigiris. They all were tasted good and can be a quick, affordable meal. They also included chopsticks, a menu, and a coupon in the pickup bag. I'd be interested in coming back to try more items from their menu.

The store is a bit hard to find since its on the bottom floor, tucked away in a corner of a large business building. The shop is super cute, and has a couple of tables for anyone who wants to dine in. It is pretty small and has a nice homey feel to it. The owner is super cute and seemed really happy that we had ordered some food from her restaurant. In my Surprise bag, I received Shiitake Mushrooms Onigiri, Kimchi Tuna ?? Onigiri, Spam Masubi, a California Roll with 1 shrimp nigiri. (Again, this was a Surprise bag; so please dont expect anything when you order through the app! Each order is different). -Kimchi Tuna Onigiri: 5/5 - it tasted delicious but I thought I was eating a Spicy Tuna Onigiri lol -Spam Masubi: 5/5 classic, salty spam with a good amount of rice ratio -California Roll: 5/5- I mean, it's a classic roll, tasted great -Shrimp Nigiri - 5/5, no complaints ---- My food didnt come with any wasabi and soysauce, so make sure you ask for some if you get take out. Luckily, I had some at home so it made the meal 100x better! This shop was so stinking cute, I would definitely come back to support the owners. Can't wait to tell my friends all about it!
