    Beautiful setting but highly overpriced and overrated. Party if 8 for mom's birthday otherwise I wouldn't go there. Love her cookbooks and have them but the ratio of portions and prices don't correlate.

    This was my first time to Joon and it did not disappoint! I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for a quick bite and tried the lamb hummus and a beef kabob. Both dishes were exceptional, as well as the dessert cake. I'm looking forward to returning for the dinner service. The interior of the restaurant is open and clean and staff were polite.

    Loved this place. Reservation for 7 around 6:30pm on. Tue, wasn't too busy. Was sat right after arriving and the vibe in here is great. The decor was modern and really felt like you're in a different world. The lady who assisted us (forgot her name) gave great details about the menu and what to order as well as helped me pick between the lamb chops and lamb shoulder. We ordered all kinds of appetizers, octopus, hummus with lamb, meatballs, and then the lamb shoulder for the main course with the saffron rice. Everything was delicious, and the rice was a large order. Everyone got their own and we could have easily split three between the table. If I was local I would have taken it home. Tisk tisk. I'll keep this on my short list when in the area.

    I had made reservations for Saturday night at 6 we arrived early and was able to be seated right away. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The food is incredible so so delicious best hummus I have ever had I can't say enough good thing about how delicious this food was the staff did such an excellent job. What a great experience one that I will never forget!

    I came here for their brunch, and the food was well worth it. We shared with a specialized brunch for around 35-38 dollars. I wasn't sure how much food it would be considering we were sharing but it was way more food than I expected. My favorites were all the dips. They also had a lamb with potatoes which was not my favorite. We did get plenty of bread though. The French toast was so good but by that point. I was very full. The service for this place was okay. It seemed like there was some preferred treatment for other tables, and we had to ask a few times for some extras. The ambiance is great! It's a huge place and they have free valet outside. If you're in the mood for some great food, definitely check this place out.

    Absolutely loved the ambiance, the interiors are breathtaking. I loved that they have different dining areas which creates a cozier dining experience. We came for lunch on a Saturday and despite the restaurant being pretty full, it wasn't loud at all. Great acoustics! A lot of families with kids, which is great, since we came with our kids too. The food was great! The chicken kabob was tender, juicy, seasoned to perfection. Came with a huge side of rice that was enough for 4 people to share. The breakfast smash burger was also very tasty, the kubideh was very flavorful. Portion was big, specially in comparison to the chicken kabob. A big side of Joon fries comes with the burger. We loved the spices on the fries. Service was impeccable. Overall a great dining experience!

    Overall: 5/5 Amazing experience from the aesthetics, acoustics, cuisine, and everything else. Food: 5/5 More often than not, when a restaurant has a short menu, the chef has mastered each dish. From what I tried, I'm pretty sure there's nothing on the menu that doesn't invite your taste buds for another more bite. Aesthetics: 5/5 Luxurious but not pretentious. The space is significantly larger than it looks from the outside. Despite dining during peak hours, I was able to have a conversation without raising my voice. Service: 5/5 Staff was very sweet, from the greeter to the waiter who knew the menu well and gave great recommendations.

    I love love love when I have a great experience that's the perfect culmination of food, ambiance, and service that makes me want to not only come back but not want to leave. No really they turned the lights off on us lol. Thanks to Yelp (Big Ups) I found this awesome gem Joon and was able go to experience their brunch this past Sunday. It was perfect to hang with a good friend and enjoy being catered to while falling in love with so many of the dishes that we had to catch a second and third breath. Paul did a great job taking care of us and making sure our bill was correct. He inquired if there was anything we enjoyed as much as to have seconds for and brought those items out. I really wish I could have taken home the dango and kashk-e bademjan but I was being cutesie and only had a small purse with me LOL. Paul also gave us a lot of information about the restaurant and changes they've recently made. We got up to leave out and as I stood next to the bar awaiting my friend to use the bathroom, I noticed they had multiple items on my favorites list stocked. That's when Gerard approached asking if he could be a service. I soaked up more information about Joon and vowed to come back. This was an overall great visit and I really appreciate being able to talk with team members to get more insight on how restaurant's foundation and goals. We bid our goodbyes and walked around to the other side of the bar and was greeted by a bartender who also answered questions for us and gave us information about upcoming events. This was a really good experience and it definitely helped restore my faith in dining out.

    Really nice atmosphere and you can immediately feel why Joon is one of the most highly rated restaurants around Fairfax/Tysons! Food was delicious and our server Christian M was very friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. We didn't use it but there was complimentary valet. Also I loved their pom fizz mocktail. Would love to comeback!!

    Bread
    Amir A.

    One of the underrated pleasures of an upscale restaurant is complimentary valet parking. It sets a welcoming, stress-free tone from the very beginning--and this place delivered exactly that. The ambiance was excellent, with a stylish, lounge-inspired interior that immediately elevates the experience. We were warmly greeted by a friendly staff, and our server, Rodrigo, did a fantastic job throughout the meal. He was attentive, kind, and efficient. The food arrived impressively fast--which typically raises my skepticism--but I was pleasantly surprised, as any preconceived notions were quickly shattered. Attention to detail was evident throughout: from the presentation of the plates to the golden cutlery and the calming lounge décor. Everything worked together to create a soothing atmosphere that genuinely enhanced the dining experience and, arguably, elevated the food itself. That said, sitting by the window was less enjoyable due to cold air coming through--likely an insulation issue that probably won't be noticeable during warmer months. And if I'm being very picky, the bread did not seem freshly baked, which I would normally expect at a restaurant of this caliber. A fresh-baked option, perhaps paired with an additional dip, would have been a welcome touch--especially since places like Shamshiry and Al Borz set a strong benchmark in this regard. The portions were on the smaller side, as expected for this level of dining, but the flavors were spot-on and refined. I'll definitely be back--ideally when the weather is warmer

    Persian Cucumber Salad

    Joon was such a fun and delicious dining experience! We found out about this restaurant through Eater YouTube videos and knew that we had to check it out. The service was great! Very attentive. The food was amazing. We especially loved the hummus, lamb meatballs and duck fesenjoon. The kebab platter was also awesome! We enjoyed some mocktails and cocktails. They have a great drink menu. We admired the stylish wine glasses and cutlery. We thought this was an all around fantastic dining experience.

    Lamb Shoulder pave
    Mike A.

    Went in for dinner after shopping at Tyson's corner. We got a table easily on a Saturday night. We were not very hungry so we just shared two appetizers and one main course. We started with the cucumber salad which was nice and light, had feta crumbles on top. Then we got the squash and cauliflower appetizers, it did not disappoint. It had a hint of spice to it, which was a nice add. For main, we got the lamb shoulder pavé. It was nice and moist with a touch of sweetness and served with vegetables. This was the best lamb shoulder I've had in a long time.

    Joon Kabob Platter
    Nooshi B.

    Joon has been a bucket list restaurant for my brother and I. We were in DC and knew we had to make a visit and we are so glad we did! The ambiance is incredible and the service we received was top notch! We were blown away by the presentation, quality and taste of everything we ordered. The prices are fair for what you're getting and they have a nice happy hour to take advantage of. You can taste and feel the love they put into this restaurant and I would definitely recommend trying it at least once!

I was intrigued by the pastrami sandwich options on the menu and really appreciated that gluten free bread was an option, so I had to try it! I was not disappointed at all. The sandwich was hefty - packed with meat, and flavorful. I'm not sure I liked the pile of salad that comes on the side - it's a lot to finish for one person and seems a bit wasteful. The service was good, but the sandwiches did take a bit longer than expected to come out. That might not be the case for other dishes though. I would certainly visit again!

But driving by on weekends, and seeing the crowds bursting out the door, we deferred visiting the Vienna Carnegie Diner. Instead, on our first time, we came midday on a weekday and there weren't that many people and we were seated immediately. Overall, service was fine, though a bit in disarray because we had two different servers ask if we were ready to order. We both ordered the very good Chicken Salad sandwich. It's huge and really makes for two meals. It comes with very decent fries and an excellent side salad that has been drizzled with two different tasty dressings. We saw lentil soup on the menu, and if it's like the lentil soup at the Carnegie Diners in NYC, I highly recommend it. We absolutely will be back.

    Maple Ave is a small, no-frills bistro in Vienna that serves higher end modern European options ran…read moreby two people! They offer a prix-fixe menu that changes seasonally (?) for brunch and dinner. The ingredients here are high-quality and well prepared and cared for before serving. I've heard great things about Maple Ave from a friends, so I took my family here for dinner this past Wednesday. We really enjoyed the creativity of how the dishes were crafted and plated here and the execution was also phenomenal. This time around, it was 59.00 per person for a 4-course prix-fixe dinner (two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert). Since there were only a couple options per section, we were able to try all the options they had. FIRST: APPLE HAZELNUT SOUP Creamy, pale colored soup with a thicker consistency similar to butternut squash soup. It was lightly sweet, yet savory at the same time. There were some pickled apples and toasted hazelnuts delicately sprinkled on top that added a bit of a crunch. The soup was unique and we enjoyed it. FIRST: ROOTCAKE Between the rootcake and the apple hazelnut soup, the rootcake was my favorite. The vegetables were caramelized and made into a patty, topped generously with almonds with some umami aïoli and pimenton sauce. The rootcake was so good. Each bite was hearty and rich, and it's such a unique way to prepare vegetables. The sauce enhanced each bite and the almonds provided a nutty texture. I would recommend the rootcake as your first option. SECOND: CRISPY SQUASH NUGGETS I didn't think I would enjoy the crispy squash nuggets as much as I did. The roasted squash is breaded with panko crumbs, sitting in some dill yogurt sauce and topped with some raisins and radish. The squash were perfectly seasoned and crispy with a soft interior that left my taste buds wanting more. The dill yogurt sauce was a good complement. I'd definitely recommend this option if you're not a fan of mushrooms and/or you want something more crispy. SECOND: WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO One of the best mushroom risottos I've ever had. It's rich and creamy, filled with truffle flavor. The shiitake mushrooms had a dry, crispy texture. The manchego shavings on top were a great plus. The squash was used for coloring and probably some flavoring? Not sure. The whole thing was really good and memorable. I'd definitely recommend! THIRD: SHRIMP I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but my family loved it along with the citrus braised fennel. I was a fan of the creamy semolina, though! Overall, it wasn't for me, but that's more of a personal preference. THIRD: PORK CONFIT STEAK The pork they used was pork belly (?) and seared very nicely, topped with perfectly crispy potatoes, mangoes (?), brown butter sweet potato puree and chimi churri sauce. The pork belly melted in my mouth but as someone who's not the biggest fan of fatty pork, I wish it was a leaner cut. The potatoes were so good and went well with the sweet potato puree. Even though I didn't love the pork confit steak, I'd recommend this entree over the shrimp. FOURTH: MOCK FRIED "APPLE" PIE It was zucchini instead of apple and you can't even tell. I loved the crispy pie exterior which was lightly topped with cinnamon. The vanilla bean ice cream was my favorite as it was creamy and smooth. The dulce de leche and lavender honey were nice touches. Very nice way to end the meal. All the food here were so rich with lots of complex flavors. Each dish was so beautifully plated with many vibrant colors. We were quite full after all the food we ate. I would recommend coming here with another person to try all the options they offer here! The food here is unique and well-executed, and I'd be open to come back to try a different seasonal menu.

We ordered the Poulet Gruyere ($12.10) without the cracked pepper...and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. They cut it it in half, exactly as I requested. This crepe was generously packed with chicken/mushroom/peppers/cheese consisting of intense flavors. While I appreciate the generous amount of filling in the crepe, the ratio of crepe to filling was a little off. The filling probably would have been easier to eat in a wrap form. Nonetheless, it was still very flavorful and I highly recommend it. They have an extensive menu including sweet/savory crepes, all-day breakfast, waffles, various beverages. There is definitely something for everyone. The cafe has plenty of seating (inside & outside), but I would assume it may be a little crowded if/when they get busy. The employees were very friendly and accommodating in that they gave us an extra cup with ice and split and plated the crepe. I thought it was cool they sell the crepe mix separately. There are plenty of outlets for anyone who needs to charge their devices. One thing to note, the cafe is located in a very tight and potentially busy strip mall. While there is enough parking, it can be limited in the evening (from past experience. Would I return? Possibly, if I'm in the area.

I ended up biking and there's a bike stand really close by. My friend was craving fish and chips, so we ventured out this way. Because we came on a Thursday they had a deal going where if you ordered a pie, you could get a beer for free. Of course I had to partake, so I ordered the special pie, which was a masala, chicken, curry pie, and it was quite good. A bit small for the price point but with the beer included totally worth it also because their fries are so good. I could demolish over a pound of those fries. They were thick potato and maybe the extra added bonus of having to use a glass ketchup bottle added to it. My friend and I were also taught how to properly hit the ketchup bottle to get the ketchup out by the bartender. You find the 57 on the bottle at an angle and bump you palm there that instead of hitting the bottom and hoping and praying that ketchup comes out. It actually worked or at least it was more efficient than trying to hit the bottom of the bottle upside down. I had never had a hand pumped beer before, but it was quite good.

Conversations are at a minimum and despite the attached restaurant you can still hear yourself and the other person without yelling. One thing I appreciate about Best Buns is the consistency.

The sandwiches are flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and nothing feels like it was sitting around waiting to be reheated. Everything is prepared to order, and you can taste the difference.
