    Nostalgic video games

    Ate here during lunch time and I ordered the ham panini along with 3 homemade egg rolls. The food items were as good as anywhere but the service was specially excellent, they brought my food to me which I didn't expect. I absolutely enjoyed the decor of the place.

    Red pork lunch combo
    Sammi C.

    Super friendly! Super cute! Super fast! Considering the amount of space and shared area with Loud n' Roasted. They were quite busy, people in front took forever to order...but once I got my order in, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes! I got the red pork combo, includes Mac salad, spam mutation, and a wonderful portion of deconstructed red pork banh mi! Flavor?! 15/10. You can taste that they marinated the pork so well it doesn't even need additional sauces. The food tastes and looks fresh. I wanted to try everything on the menu, but i don't eat much soooo I would just be wasting it! However! I will be back!!! Yummm. So affordable! $13 for this whole thing!!! Wish I lived closer. I'd be here every day!!!

    Loco Moco Lunch Plate

    I've been coming here for years and have always had a great experience with Megabytes. Delicious food at affordable prices, especially for lunch. Can't get better than that. The Food: For this review, I went with the "Loco Moco Lunch Plate". However, I've had plenty of other items on their menu, and they're all delicious! The Loco Moco was portioned generously. The burger steak, covered in the gravy over a bed of rice was flavorful and so good. The egg on top added a nice touch as well. The Service: Service was great. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Even with a busy lunch crowd, they're pretty fast about getting your food out. The Atmosphere: Very nicely decorated with tech hardware all around the walls. Spacious with plenty of seating. And, very clean as well. Overall, a 5/5! Would highly recommend giving this spot a try. Everything here is

    Truly a great place to visit if you like quick bites and are curious about the interesting décor around the restaurant. Filled with computer parts and old 2000's pieces of technology it's like you are going back in time. It's honestly a shock to me that looking at these items are over 20+ years old. There's also a coffee bar where you can also get coffee but it was closed by the time I got there. I came here to get breakfast but by the time I arrived it was almost closing time. That is unfortunately my own fault as I left the house thinking I'd make it on time to get breakfast. The lady at the counter did offer me to make a Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi instead and I said yes why not. After I got my Banh Mi I ended up eating in a parking lot as they were closing shop. The Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi is loaded with everything you'd want in a sandwich. Carrots, Daikon, Cucumber, Cilantro, Lemongrass Chicken all on a nice beautiful baguette that it's served in. This is worth the price and honestly worth coming back for. I will probably add a fried egg to see if it enhances the sandwich!

    California wrap

    Great food all around,I love the California wrap it's a great breakfast item they serve!

    TLDR: Great lunch spot! Plenty of tasty options at decent prices. Come for their lunch special. Vibe: 4/5. Megabytes is tucked away in a small business park close to the Dulles Expo Center. Inside, the cafe functions as a counter service style restaurant, where you can order directly at the counter with the staff or on tablets located at the counter. They have a decent amount of seating, consisting of both 2 and 4 top tables, so larger groups can be accommodated. Separate from the main lunch kitchen counter is a coffee bar, where you can order such drinks as Vietnamese coffee and various lattes. Lots of fun video game decor can be seen throughout the space, with a few game consoles setup on the side for those that want to hit the sticks after lunch. Restrooms are shared with the rest of the office space, so you have to exit Megabytes and walk down a hallway to find them. Service: 5/5. The staff at Megabytes was very accommodating and helpful from start to finish. When I first arrived, I was a bit confused about the ordering system ie. whether I order at the tablet or with a staff member. This was quickly remedied by one of the staff members explaining I could do either and that my order would be called out and brought to my table when ready. They also made sure to recommend the lunch special, which is well priced and offers diners a bento box style of their top sellers. The helpfulness from the staff made for an overall better experience! Food: 4/5. My table of 2 had a fantastic lunch. I ordered the pork banh mi, which comes with all the typical banh mi fixings on a crunchy baguette. The banhi was of decent size and checked all of the banh mi boxes with tender pork, rich pate and tasty pickled veggies. My friend ordered the loco moco lunch special, which includes a serving of loco moco, a spam musubi and a side of macaroni salad for $12. This was a superb deal, as the portion sizes were generous for the cost. My friend said everything tasted great and highly recommended it. We also ordered spicy pork fries to share, which were tasty, however I felt the fries portion was lacking for the $10 price tag. Overall, Megabytes is a solid lunch spot that is a perfect place to grab a quick *byte* before heading back to the office!

    Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi (so good) + House Banh Mi

    My best friend brought me here on a lunch date and the Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi sandwich was awesome for me. I brought my dad in that same week, we both killed the house + lemongrass, and I got to hear a story about dad eating these kind of foods in Vietnam before he became a refugee. I am slowly introducing more people to this place--my buddies are going to love this uniquely fun museum-like interior more than i do (I specialize in eating, not in motherboards). Service is down to earth and welcoming, clearly everyone enjoys their craft. +++ Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi + House Pork Banh Mi (adding a fried egg for moisture is super worth it)

    After seeing all the good reviews for MegaBytes - I thought it was high time for a visit! Stopped in on a Friday morning around 10:00 am for breakfast - the place was close to full seating-wise. After looking over the menu - I opted for their Sausage gravy and biscuits - topped with an egg. It comes with one slice of bacon - so I added a side order of bacon to go with it. And a bottle of water. Paid with Apple Pay. They bring your food out to you when it's ready. I advised that I was "eating in" - but the food was still presented in a to-go container. Sausage gravy was good, egg was cooked perfectly - and the bacon was crispy and delicious! I like all the computer/video game tech decor all over the place: Old logic boards, video cards, processors, video game hardware, old video displays, etc. Service was good! I will be back to try out their breakfast burritos! #MegaBytesEatery

    Lemongrass chicken banh mi and spicy chicken banh mi

    One of our favorite places to eat when we have off during the week! Finally remembered to take pics before we started eating. Food gets out quick, the workers are super helpful and friendly, and I've never been disappointed in my order. My go-to order is the lemongrass chicken banh mi, but I tried the loco moco combo this time and the gravy combined so well with the egg, burger, and rice! We initially came here for the video game theming, but the food has kept us coming back.

    This place is paradise for the bottled beverage enthusiast. I've never seen so many unrecognizable beverages at one time. Tried the orange ginger ale and thought it was good, of course the sugar content guaranteed it, but there are healthier options too (see pics). Sandwiches we tried are the lemongrass banh mi, steak and cheese, spicy chx and teriyaki chx tacos. Recommend the tacos and the banh mi. The steak and cheese is nothing to write about. He said the spicy chx was good in a different way. Everyone was pleasant and oh yea, there's Mario bros to play. Overall decent lunch spot.

    I've been going to Megabytes since 2015. Eventually, this unique cafe would become a place where my dad and I and eventually my daughter and I would come to leave behind the stressors of the world. Whether it be work, the pandemic, or politics, this would be the place where we would go to become kids again. It helps to have the best poutine in town as well as this ridiculously delicious deep fried pancake sandwich with perfectly cooked spam and a fried egg. Combine that with the calm and casual ambiance and the availability of retro video games from NES to N64. Since 2017, my dad would always gravitate towards the PS2 drum set. Every time I took him there, he would "practice his drums" up until this year. My dad died last month at the age of 91. One of the lessons he taught me is to always make time to play no matter how busy or crazy the world gets. I guess that's why this delicious little spot in Chantilly is so important to the community here. I'm proud to be a part of it.

    This place is such a fun twist on a Chinese takeout bar. The atmosphere blends tiki hut vibes with…read moreChinese influences, making it feel lively, unique, and perfect for grabbing drinks with friends. One of the highlights of the night was meeting the owner, Jason. We bonded over our shared Cantonese backgrounds and even got to meet his aunt, who was visiting from California and happened to be sitting next to us. It made the whole experience feel incredibly welcoming and personal. We ordered the Dynamite Roll, which was a solid choice with 8 generous pieces, and the Szechuan spicy wontons, which were juicy with just the right amount of heat. If you visit, definitely grab a seat at the bar. The bartenders are friendly, engaging, and really add to the experience. We were treated to a complimentary shot of Jäger with Jason and even got to sample their Lychee Pearl cocktail because the bartender had made an extra. The cocktails really stood out. Instead of masking everything with sugary juices, they use extracts and creative techniques to build balanced drinks that complement the flavors beautifully. Jason also mentioned that their cocktail specials change every month, so we already told him we'll be back regularly to see what new creations he comes up with.

But what we did get was pretty darn good (if a bit pricey)! The style is much more authentic, so if you're looking for something like Hunan Cafe (Greenbriar), or that NOVA institution China King, this is different. Is it better? For the most part, yes. (But I still crave that Americanized sweet, spicy, glazey brown sauce that comes in slight variations in so many dishes). I had the hot and sour soup, Szechuan spicy fried eggplant sticks, Taiwanese rice noodles with fried tofu, and the Chengdu twice cooked pork. Everything was excellent, except....the hot and sour soup. Honestly, Hunan Cafe and China King beat the pants off this place's hot and sour soup. Here, it was a bit too sweet. It had some red chilies in it, but I could not detect much white pepper. And it's a vegetarian version, so no small bits of chicken or pork. I'd skip this the next time I order from here. But the other dishes... amazing! The noodles were light-tasting but still delicious. The eggplant was garnished with cilantro, garlic, salt, and red chili sauce. The twice cooked pork was sauteed with sliced leeks and the same red chili sauce. I think that's the fresh, zingy, spice flavor profile I like that can't be found at Americanized Chinese restaurants. Sure, China King has its place and I'll still go back there when I'm close (RIP China King Fair Lakes and Herndon). And admittedly, I go to that awful Panda chain occasionally because I never learn. The unfortunate thing is, I'll more likely go to these places than Cheng's because of the price. The pork dish was $21 and the noodle dish was $19. My total bill came to $60 before tax and tip. If I need to stuff my face with a Chinese umami bomb fast, I'm probably going to the other places for $15-30. I do want to try the rest of the menu at Cheng's, but it's going to be a drawn-out process for the sake of my wallet. I'd be remiss if I didn't include a comment from my dining partner. She compared the quality and taste of the food at Cheng's to Peter Chang's (either Peter Chang's-Herndon, or Mama Chang Fairfax). A high compliment. But she said the value is better at those places' AYCE options than what we got at Cheng's, and I agree. If you've been to none of these places, you have to try them all at least once.

The chicken adobo here is tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, but the real star is the sauce.

You'll be craving it long after your meal, and trust me, it will bring you back for more. But that's not all! We also tried their Shrimp Kalabasa, and it was just as incredible.
