We had the lemongrass beef and fish sauce wings to start, and they were damn good. I had the hot stone pot fried rice with grilled beef for my main, and loved it. The rice at the bottom got crispy and chewy and added so much to the dish. My friends split the hot pot pho for two and it looked amazing too. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone in Reston.

So far, the spring rolls, the pho-nomenal, and caramelized fish are all 5/5 taste wise. Wow! The place is quite polished ready to serve business lunch and dinner dates. The decoration is quite modern. I like the overall vibe. The price of the menu reflects this but everything I ordered so far is so good that the price tag may be worth it. The staff is really nice and friendly and I already know what to order for my next few visits. Parking may be a challenge but it's not really a busy area. If you cannot get street parking, there are parking lots within walking distance either to the left or right side of the restaurant.

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.

Nah, I used to live in the SGV. We have the best Asian food. So this place was a solid 2 out of 5…read more It's open late. That's why I came. I've been here a few times and tried several different things. All average or basic. Nothing wow. I think people come here for the drinks and vibes. Which is fair. Cool ambience. Music, dim lighting, comfortable booths and plenty of parking. Hard pass for me. Prices are a bit high given the portions and quality. But whatever. Don't take my word for it, give them a try for yourself. I've had enough. Unlike their dishes, I'm not salty, just won't be back

We dined at Makers Union for Father's Day and it was such a great experience!…read more I originally reserved a table for 7 but had family come in from out of town to surprise my dad and needed to add them, so I called in and Jayla was a great help in updating our reservation. We chose the unlimited brunch and it was A LOT of food!! From breakfast nachos to salmon and lox, there were great choices to choose from. The decor was modern and chic, loved the small pink plates (super cute) They even gifted all the dads a cigar. The highlight of our visit was when the co-owner, the owner's daughter, came over to check-in and wish all the dads a Happy Father's Day, such a sweet gesture I would definitely recommend this restaurant because both the staff and the food made this an enjoyable experience

I can confidently say this is my favorite Indian restaurant I've been to in the area so far…read more Everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. It's conveniently located in Reston Town Center inside the Hyatt Regency hotel. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of spice. It paired perfectly with the warm Garlic Naan, and I found myself reaching for every last bite. I also tried the Mango Lassi, which was smooth, refreshing, and a great balance to the spices in the meal. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

Starting with the positives: because this restaurant is connected to Reston Town Center and located…read moreon the Hyatt Regency premises, there is plenty of parking nearby. While hotel parking requires a fee, you can park in any of the Town Center lots for free after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. Inside, the space is spacious and modern, and the service is quite good. Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a letdown. The kale salad and the mango & avocado salad were just okay, and the chat papadi was disappointing. Both chicken dishes we ordered, the chicken tandoor and chicken sekuwa, were average at best, and the Alu mutter tasted a bit strange. The Dal Makhani was the only decent dish and the saving grace of the meal. Additionally, the portion sizes for both the dal and the Alu mutter felt small for the price. Because the location is so fantastic, we will give them another chance on a weekday when it is less crowded.

It's more popular during the week but nicely filled whenever you go. I like to walk into the hotel lobby then through their awesome hallway to the front desk. Every table is wonderful but towards the back by the window near sundown is my favorite. Service is impeccable, professional and with great suggestions. I love that they clear the crumbs and baby wipe before desert. They did it unobtrusively. Food is great but I wish they had lighter fare options. I love the Cesar salad but needs much less dressing. Just a light mix would be great. Hush puppies were a great hit.

We were seated right away and the servers were very friendly. We didn't have to wait for anything which was greatly appreciated.

The fish tacos were paired with a fresh slaw and came with rice and beans. The portions were very generous so make sure you are hungry. The steak spaghetti was surprisingly well balanced and packed with flavor despite looking pretty basic with a few pieces of steak. Really looking forward to coming back again!

This was my first visit to the Reston location, though I recently ate at Open Road in Arlington…read more Bottom line: it's pretty much the same experience. The free popcorn still isn't good or all that enjoyable, service can be hit or miss, drinks are expensive, and the food is very good. The Reston location does have plenty of large TVs, making it a solid place to catch a game. This was a guys' night out for food and drinks, but it's probably not going to become a regular meetup spot when a couple of easy changes could make a big difference. First, get rid of the popcorn, it's honestly laughable. Second, bring the drink prices down. A Wild Turkey and Coke shouldn't cost $14. We started with something to share. My biggest concern was value for the price, and the menu only had a few appetizers that felt both shareable and reasonably priced. The Bavarian Pretzel was good, although I wasn't a fan of the mustard dip. At $10, it's a decent value for two or three people. The chili nachos were tasty, but $18 is just too much for what you get. Even if they doubled the chips and chili, I'd still think they were overpriced by a couple of dollars. I'll definitely give them credit for the entrées. On my last visit I had the jambalaya, which was excellent. This time I ordered the Peruvian-spiced half chicken, and it was fantastic. I ended up spending almost $100. I had a good time and enjoyed the food, but Open Road has moved into my "splurge" category rather than my monthly hangout spot. Our server may have been new because service was slow, and the kitchen was also taking a long time to get food out, especially for a Friday night. I'm giving the Reston location four stars, just like Arlington. The food was tasty, I had a good time, and I'd come back, ... but.... the little things, especially the drink prices, lopsided menu pricing, and inconsistent service, keep it from being one of my spontaneous go-to spots.
