Amazing pupusas and friendly service, they speak English and Spanish. I ordered online and the pick…read moreup process went very smoothly! I got some pupusas and an horchata to go and both were excellent! My favorites were the corn pupusas with chicharron and the Loco pupusa that includes everything (cheese, pork, beans)! Yum! All pupusas regardless of the filling were all $3.50 and they are pretty big! Upon pickup, the pupusas were still hot with crunchy side bits. Not soggy at all. They also come with a free side of guacamole, this sour cream type dip, and pickled coleslaw! FYI: no seating inside.

Alegrias was a delight in every way! We bought four different pupusas and two of their pastries…read more While we were waiting for the pupusas (they make them fresh, so it took about 10 minutes), we ate our pineapple almohadita (pillow!) and it was just so good - the dough was very flaky and sweet and the filling was perfect. We took the pupusas home (the place is takeout only) and the split them between us three. It was a nice surprise to find little bags of slaw and sauce on top of the containers of pupusas. We got the cheese, bean (black), cheese and loroco (a flowering herb) with cheese, and squash (zucchini) with cheese. They all had their good points, but my family's favorite was the bean, while mine was the cheese, as it seemed extra buttery. We also really liked the one with loroco, as the little flower buds were a combination of earthy, floral, herby and a little tangy, and unlike anything we've eaten before. The pupusas were larger than we expected, and I felt like it was a great value, too. We had two with the rice dough and two with the corn dough - and they were both good, with the rice dough a bit chewier. The cabbage slaw had bits of carrot and zucchini with a slightly sweet tomato-y dressing. My son liked the crunch of it, but I like my cabbage sliced more thinly and a little more "marinated". Tasted good, either way! The tomato based sauce they gave was very mild. Again, it is carry-out only, there are a couple of chairs inside where you can wait for your order - we sat out front on the planter walls eating our pastry while we waited. The place is clean and bright, service was good and quick, and it's definitely a place I would go to again.

Tried the half chicken over rice with a side of salad and chicken faroge wrap…read more Chicken over yellow rice- delicious. Reminds me of Peruvian chicken. Seasoned well, cooked well and has a delicious char. Yellow rice was a great compliment. Salad was wilted underneath the chicken but that's my bad. I should've known better. It also came with a yogurt sauce and sultana sauce. I love tzatziki but this was like a watered down tzatziki and I didn't like it. Sultana sauce is a seasoned mayo- not spicy. Good! Cajun-y? Chicken faroge wrap- grilled chicken, pickle, sultana sauce, garlic sauce in a wrap. The chicken, sauce, and pickles are good. The seasoned chicken with two sauces were super flavorful and not salty. Chicken was dry and wrap even dryer. I dislike the wrap- it's not soft like pita or crunchy. It's more like a dry pita bread that's thin. Sultana is located inside Dulles Town Center food court (upstairs). Fast casual. Service was fast (5 minutes) and friendly.

There are so many good Vietnamese restaurants in NoVA that is a crime to be so far below average!!…read moreI have no idea how they have sustained their high ratings. It is extra disappointing to go there seeing all their awards and ratings to be met with very poor service, unwarranted delayed steps between apps, mains, dessert, check! The broth of the pho had some kind of rancid /old food taste like you get when the wok/pot has not been washed properly after multiple uses. The fried rice and pad Thai lacked flavor and had an odd taste. The apps were alright. The banh mi was passable but got us feeling bloated within couple bites. Cost of everything was quite low, so may that is a plus for some. Further, when I tried sharing the feedback respectfully - after the waiter wondered why we had barely eaten and refused to go boxes- I was told to write this review online - which itself was weird. It's like the staff want to sabotage the customer experience or highlight the experience for the owner to take note. My best guess is the owner doesn't treat/pay his staff well and they are likely very checked out and doing the bare minimum or below it. The place was a mess also behind the counter, on the way to the restroom etc. with no deliberate storage of the overflow supplies. Sorry for the candor and the harshness- hoping the management takes a serious look and rethinks their work, or reconsider another line of business.

This place was awesome! So cute! Good snacks. Yummy boba. Excellent and quick service…read more Paid $15ish for two drinks with boba and an order of their pork egg rolls. Baybeeee, those egg rolls? Very good. And $25 for those three items was a bit of a steal, especially since the rolls were huge. They have a cute little toy/knickknack area, too. Ohhh, and there's a kids table with coloring supplies. It's small and intimate but very cute. Jasmine milk tea: delicious. Jasmine apparent and can be tasted but not overwhelming. Honestly, though, what I loved most was the service. I think the owner was the man working and he was so sweet. Him and the young woman working were so nice and even so patient with my little when she was paying for her items. I'd recommend and return!

They have some stools for quick dining and a cute little kiddie eating area. They have one of the BEST boba in the area. The prices are so reasonable and the slushies are my fave. They also have some snacks and a couple of mains if you are super hungry. On Fri, Sat they sell spam musubi. The pork eggrolls are SUPER delicious: full of meat and the eggroll wrapping is the best, reminiscent of the original Four Sisters. Parking is easy since the Giant grocery closed so many spaces in the lot.

Service always been good even know I can't stand the parking because it a pretty tight parking shopping center unless you go inside the lot. They added Boat Noddle soup to the Menu, and I didn't think it was going to be that good, but it was so much like Thailand bring me so much comfort. The rich savory with hint of sweet was heaven, the noodle was cook perfectly and at first, I thought the price was high but given the area and the amount of beef they give you, it Definity worth the price. I am so happy now I don't have to drive all the way to Arlington for Bangkok 54.

Fun fact! I reviewed this place over 4 years ago it appears - do read that review because it STILL…read moreapplies 4+ years later!!! Thank goodness Nan Thai survived covid! That should tell you something right there. THIS REVIEW IS FOR A LUNCH TO-GO CARRY OUT ORDER FOR 1 (ME!) - while it's not posted on their website, I called and found out they DO have a lunch specials menu. I ordered the Panang Curry Chicken. Lunch specials come with rice and 2 spring rolls. $15 which for what you get and the large entree portion size is super good value - ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS OF OUTRAGEOUSLY SKY HIGH PRICES FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING DINING OUT! I even had leftovers and made a second meal out of it. Can't beat that for value. I posted pics of my lunch order so check those out. I think you'll agree that for $15, it's a good deal. And the curry and spring rolls were DELICIOUS. JUST LIKE I REPORTED 3 YEARS AGO! Really good quality sliced white meat chicken, thick but not too thick (and definitely not too watery which I hate!) curry sauce that was superrrrr flavorful. I mean spoon the extra sauce over rice and you're good to go! Don't waste even a drop of it lol. It's liquid gold. The spring rolls were deeeeelicious. Super piping hot out of the deep fryer and the tightest rolled rolls I've ever seen and bitten into. JUST LIKE 3 YEARS AGO. Da BOMB. The restaurant is located in the Worldgate Shopping Center in Herndon off Elden. Super convenient. The inside is super cute, cozy and clean JUST LIKE 3 YEARS AGO. There were a good number of people eating in. Staff was super friendly. And what I love about this place is, if you're picking up carry out, there's a row of 20 min parking spaces close to the restaurant for quick in and out. If you're looking for an amazing value and a delicious lunch meal with a quick, no hassle in and out, Nan Thai is it! Definitely HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I'll be back to order other lunch special dishes for sure!

I went in one time and the girl at the counter seemed like she didn't want to be there and another time there was a young man who was single-handedly taking orders and making bowls so efficiently despite there having been a line to the door that I felt I only waited a minute or two. He was crushing it! So service really just depends on who's working, but I also will add that I've tried calling several times to ask a question/place a phone order and they have never picked up so that was also a bit annoying

There was only one person working. Very suite and minimal customer service required. Cute decor on the inside. Cute wall bar seating option. Very quiet on a hot Sunday afternoon. Maybe I will come back on a weekday. The menu has so many yummy choices. I wanted something refreshing with blue spirulina. I got the wellness High Tide bowl. It sounded refreshing, but to be honest it was extremely bitter. I know with frozen fruit it could either be too sweet or not enough sweetness. It was pretty! I will definitely try another option next time.

They were polite and patiently waited for me to figure out what I wanted. The shop itself is very cute and organized. They carry a lot of cute plushies that include boba drink plushies and panda plushies. I ordered the mango green tea without any toppings and customized with 50% sweetness and less ice. With changing the sweetness level of boba, it's always a gamble on how it's going to affect the overall drink (most of the time, regular sweetness level is too much for me). The drink was okay, I wish there was more mango flavor in it though. I think maybe 75% sweetness would fix it, but I'm really not sure. Overall, I think it's an okay boba tea shop. If I'm at Dulles Town Center again, maybe I'll stop by and try a milk tea instead.

It can get busy, I went inside on a Saturday and there was nobody there, but then right when I ordered, there was a large influx of people who arrived inside.

I just ordered a bubble waffle since that was what I was craving, but usually people will get the waffle with ice cream (there's plenty of flavor options with toppings). I'll come back to try other things, but stop by here if you love desserts and pandas!
