    Victoria was fantastic! She was so fun and took such good care of us! Not only was she able to answer all of our questions but we would also totally vibe with her in a casual setting :) Dinner was fantastic and the whole experience was the perfect Valentine's dinner The food is always sooo good!!

    Yin & Yang Chocolate Fondue

    My whole life I've always wanted to try Melting Pot, so for my annual birthday dinner this year I switched out my usual snow crab legs spot for this one. Dessert-wise, this place is 10/10. The yin yang chocolate swirl and different dipping options were really good. Food-wise, my family and I really didn't like it and couldn't even eat the leftovers. We did the full course meal, the cheese sauce and broth were decent but the meats/main course was practically inedible. It was just gross unseasoned meat and we were super disappointed. I also ordered an espresso martini and it came half empty with zero foam or beans on it. I asked if they could reshake it and their excuse was that the foam had settled quick before they brought it to me.. but there was none to begin with which was weird. When they remade it and brought it to me(it was good the second time) the foam lasted for almost an hour as I drank it. Although I was super disappointed with the entree portion of my birthday dinner, the dessert was amazing and I would definitely come back here for more chocolate fondue and drinks!!

    Went to The Melting Pot for a friend's birthday. I haven't been to this chain in years, but the product is still good and the service was very attentive, even for a fairly large party. The cheese fondue offers three types of melted cheese with bread, chips and veggies as basically an appetizer. Then we moved on to broth based fondue and a grill for meats and more vegetables and lastly chocolate fondue with an array of cakes, brownies, rice crispy treats, and fruit for dessert. I also tried a Virginia based wine, which ended up being one of the best wines I have tried in Virginia and am now planning to visit their vineyard; so thanks for that lucky opportunity. :-) several of the other members in our party ordered cocktails and I heard a few mention they were very sweet; so I'm glad I stuck with wine. Overall, the experience was on par with what you would expect from a national brand name restaurant. I'd say the staff made the experience better. If you like fondue, this is a good option and probably one of your only options unless you count hot pot restaurants as being similar enough. They do offer personal fondue pot service at their booth tables, which I would prefer over the large party setup we had. Their menu also has a variety of options for cheese, broth/oil and chocolate fondue. Thank you for a decent meal and great service.

    Melting pot: the Americanized version of hot pot with less food and more expensive. First, they sat us in the back room, which would have been fine but I think because we were not in the main room, our server didn't see when we were done or needed water refills; therefore leaving us thirsty and frustrated with the time lag in between courses. Second, with how large the tables are 3 pots was very difficult for our 8 people to split, especially if your party has dietary restrictions. My friend and I split the dinner for two. The cheese was good. We both got the caprese salad and were disappointed there were actually greens (arugula) underneath. The arugula was not the best. The land and sea, while delicious, the proportions were scant and there are no offerings of extra dippers. The chocolate of course was great. All in all, go to an authentic hot pot it will not have a cheese or chocolate course, but the unlimited food varying options will leave you satisfied.

    Service was great, food was better. Nothing more to ask for than that. Loved it all, just be prepared to cook.

    We had a wonderful meal and everyone enjoyed a different course most. I liked the cheese and dippers. Janet loved the chocolate. Michael was all about the bouillon course. For the win. Greta meal. Ask for Tommy.

    The Melting Pot is such a fun experience! We love the assortment of dippers, and different fondues to choose from! We decided to try the new "Ultimate 5-Course Experience". We started our meal off with the Green Goddess Bacon Tomato which was dainty and delicious! My favorite part was the entrée, the meats and veggies were so fresh and flavorful. Our waitress was great! She explained each course and went over what was what as she presented it. The only downside with our experience was the VERY loud and obnoxious table of teenagers having an event or party. They were screaming through the duration of our meal. I also think the restaurant could use some TLC, the bathroom and the hostess stand surrounding area appeared rather dirty.

    The Melting Pot is a classic date night spot. We decided to bring our kids along for their first Melting Pot experience. It had been years since the last time I had been. I was excited to hear about their Wednesday night special where you can order a cheese fondue, a salad and a dessert fondue for a discounted price. I never really cared for their main entree fondue. Come to find out they now offer grilled proteins in addition to their normal broth fondue. They also have a great kids menu option. For the price of $25, the kids also get the cheese fondue, protein entree and dessert fondue. They enjoyed cooking themselves and it was more than enough food for them.

    As the weather starts to get a little chilled, a bowl full of hot melty cheese sounds just about right.  The Melting Pot, for years, has been the place to go to satisfy that craving.  The dining area is spacious as are the tables.    Despite the heating element and pot in the middle, there is still plenty of room for all the dishes and glasses that you may need.  Rather than do the full meal, we opted for a la carte, which allowed us to skip the meat course.  Cheese, salad and dessert is more than enough.  We chose the classic alpine and our wonderful server did a great job mixing and melting our cheese fondue right at the table.  In this way, you can also customize how much you may want in the way of spices, for example.  There are a lot of bread cubes and veggies to dip in.  And, if you run out, they will bring more.  We are big eaters so we found that having a serving for 3 was a good amount for 2 people.  We enjoyed both the classic salad and the Ceasar.  The honey mustard dressing may have been a little on the sweet side.  This can also be said for the mocktails which were tasty but also a little sweet.  The salads arrived a little later than optimal which is probably why we tore through all the cheese so fast.  For dessert, we had the classic chocolate which is actually a mix of chocolate and peanut butter.  I might go for a straight chocolate next time.  There are again, plenty of dippers, including brownies, rice krispy treats, pound cake, waffles, marshmallows as well as strawberries and bananas.  They will bring over a second helping of any three of these.   We really appreciated how helpful and friendly our server was as he really set such a nice tone for the meal.  There is plenty of parking available in the parking garage around the corner.

    This chocolate fondue was a great dessert. The presentation was cool since they lit the chocolate on fire. The only problem was that I felt this was over priced for what they had offered. I wish there was an option for which dipping items you could get because I would opt more on the fruits than cakes since the chocolate was already sweet. I do want to come back and try the main entrees.

In comparison to our most frequented Ashburn outpost, the interior here feels more cozy and old school rather than bright and modern. Despite a very busy dining and waiting room, the host sat us almost immediately during peak hours at a generously sized booth, a nice touch given we had our infant son in tow. The food here tasted consistent with what we have had at other locations of Ted's. While the food here does not necessarily amaze the palate, it is executed competently and the large menu caters to a variety of tastes with some creative, global touches. My wife always selects the Turkish eggs, which comprise a trio of poached eggs swimming in a garlicky yogurt and topped with piquant chili oil. The dish makes for a light, fresh breakfast with plenty of flavor. I opted for a Sichuan hot chicken sandwich. The cripsy, juicy chicken breast coated in a heavily seasoned chili dunk yielded a surprisingly flavorful bite. Despite the chicken quality, I did not love the sweet American style coleslaw that topped the sandwich nor the limp fries that arrived alongside. Service ran smoothly, as our waitress promptly took our orders, remained available throughout service, and even subbed out my wife's latte for no charge when she found the taste too sweet. Prices here are about $15-20 per entree which is standard for the Town Center and reasonable given portion sizes. Overall, Ted's remains a reliable option for a satisfying and consistent lunch or brunch, and we are glad to have a location so nearby.

They explain the menu, walk you through how everything works, and make sure to check for any allergies before you order. They start you with a side of veggies, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, etc., and a side of udon, even though they tell you not to use the udon until the end. Then you order the protein or proteins you want. After that, you basically squish squish until the meat is cooked and go for it. I got the signature beef, which is what they're known for, and the scallops. Both were very good and fresh. At the end, they mix all the veggies you have left with the udon, and it basically becomes a big noodle soup. You can always order extra sides or add ons, though. Definitely one of my new favorites!

Also, the floor gets unreasonably greasy to walk on about halfway through the day and stays that way for the rest of the night, so tread carefully! All of the meats on the standard AYCE menu are good/great quality. This is one of the only hot pots that does not require dipping sauce (even though I always concoct one anyways) because the broth is so permeating and flavorful. Best standard lamb I've ever had. Looking forward to trying the specialty lamb menu someday. So far it has been hard to resist the $21 midday weekday AYCE special, and the even better $17 "late night" AYCE special.

They are also very generous with the DELICIOUS bread and butter for the table. The highlights at our table were: - yuzu mocktail - crab tostada - branzino (one of the best fish dishes I've ever had) - katsu wagyu beef (never had anything like it, GET IT) - chocolate tart Service was grand. We were a bit of a rowdy bunch compared to the other clientele (this place is pretty classy, but no strict dress code or anything -- would recommend looking nice-ish, however) and they made sure we were taken care of. I would absolutely return here to try more of the menu and not hesitate to recommend it! Excellent!

    This was my first time dining at an upscale restaurant. The food was delicious. My partner and I…read moreenjoyed how each course was described to us. The pace in which we were served was perfect for such a setting. It really let us enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. Our primary waiter was personable and fun. The ONLY negative would be the price. It's not unreasonable but for most it's likely not doable. It was a very expensive meal.

The inside of the restaurant is nicer than expected, with a cavernous and industrial feel. Our waitress was the only one working the whole restaurant. She nonetheless provided prompt and efficient service, including meat cooking, during our meal. We opted for AYCE option for $38. We sampled the spicy pork belly, spicy and regular pork bulgogi, and the thinly sliced pork belly. All the pork cuts had a tender texture and we found the marinades savory and not too sweet, in comparison to other restaurants. The sole beef option I tried was the top blade steak. While tender, the meat was watery and subsequently lacked flavor. We found the banchan and side dishes here weak. Most of the banchan had too much sugar for our palette. Banchan were limited to basic selections such as kimchi, potato salad, and picked radish; some higher end choices such as fish cake would have been welcome. The corn cheese, while gooey, lacked seasoning. The fried rice cakes had a pleasantly crisp and bouncy texture when served fresh, though gummed up after a couple of minutes. The steamed eggs actually had great flavor, but are cooked on the grill such that the bottoms burn. Overall, this felt like a relatively standard KBBQ experience for the area. While the pork options tasted of a decent quality, the remainder of the meal fell a bit flat. While not bad by any means, we experienced no compelling reason to return to the Qui over either a new restaurant or repeat visit to a standby.
