    Craved some Asian food during my unplanned layover. Saw this place and did a double take. Unfortunately required 24 min wait for cheeseburger bao and 7 min wait for some others. So I just went with what was available the bbq pork, spicy Mongolian beef and teriyaki chicken. all were so good! ESP the Mongolian beef and BBQ pork. Would come back to try the others I missed!

    Average fast casual Asian fare. The steamed buns were okay--it's clear they're frozen and not handmade--but I probably wouldn't buy again. Prices are steep (2 medium buns for $10), but that's to be expected of all airport food. I found the BBQ pork a bit too sweet for my taste, though the overall flavor was decent. Dough not fluffy enough.

    First time trying this place at IAD located near the United gates. A bit pricy but we got the potstickers and they are delicious - although will set you back $13 for just 8 pieces not very big. There is some seating if you want to eat there but the takeaways are package in leakproof paper containers so pretty easy to eat anywhere.

    A surprise at Dulles Airport. I really wanted potstickers but they were not available. So I tried the two piece chicken bao. They were served fast and were very hot. But they were not very good. Very doughy and the chicken flavor brought to my imagination canned bbq chicken.

    At Dulles and needed a snack, remember you are at the airport and I am not expecting fine Chinese cuisine. I got the chicken teriyaki because all the other flavors at 9pm was out. I wanted potstickers but not of stock. This is a teriyaki chicken steamed dumpling. It is temperature hot and serving piping hot. It was edible. The dumpling was soft as expected. The filling was hot but flavorless with way too much corn starch but I can see the chunks of chicken. 3 stars since it was temperature hot.

    Dumplings have good flavor and that's about it. All the other reviews are right. I should have gone somewhere else.

    Does that look like $10 worth of pot stickers to you?

    Disappointed in the size of pot stickers. They charged $9.99 for 5 kid size dumplings. They tasted okay but felt cheated. The Chao Siu bao tasted okay but they made you buy two at a time. If you're really hungry before your flight, they'll do but would like to think they'll offer a better value in the future

    Worthless food. I order chicken bowl. It has only rice and peanut. Don't waste your money at this place. It's a scam.

He got it as a meal which meant it came with soda and curly fries. I tried their cheese steak sub and just got a soda. Most of their business is from the drive through window. So, we had the dining room area to ourselves, which we liked. The staff was nice and apologetic because they had a back up of orders to deal with. We said "no problem". Still, we didn't have to wait long for our food. All the ingredients were there but the food was nothing to write home about. My husband said his sandwich was edible but he's had a lot better elsewhere. My cheese steak didn't have much flavor and was on the soggy side. I had a couple of the curly fries and we both were unimpressed as they were luke warm at best. The sodas --- no complaints there. Well...we don't regret going here as we wondered how Arby's was these days. Now that we got that out of our systems, no need to go again.

    Just don't do it. First time I tried Arbys, went for the R & B, Classic Roast and Beef meal what…read moresupposed to be their main product. It was empty and still I had to wait almost 15 minutes, I thought it was supposed to be fast food? The sandwich was bad, dry, chewy meat, the smell was off, just unedible. Too bad I opened it while driving, if I was not already late for my appointment I would have gone back and asked for a refund. Not cheap too, an experiment gone wrong, $9.95 thrown away!

    Well done Airport Potbelly team!!!…read more This place was beyond busy and pretty much non-stop during our 1.5 layover. We saw a constant line - close to our gate...however the line was moving...no person really stood in place for very long. Their system is pretty slick...they keep people moving and every staff member at their station was focused and attentive and helping to keep customers focused and paying attention. It's a bit of a cattle call line, however, everything was neat, organized, accessible and signage was viewable and readable from whereever you were standing in line. My sandwich was exactly how I requested. Well prepared, great amount of toppings and for a $13 sandwich it was a very generous portion. Easy to take on the plane. I would definitely recommend this location for a more "fresh" food option.

    Not a huge fan of Potbelly traditionally but wanted to try a wrap instead of a sandwich, to see if…read moreI liked it better. And I did like it quite a bit! Felt like a better balance of flavors without so much bread. Order was: Chicken salad wrap, provolone, lettuce, cucumbers, Italian seasoning. Portion size was generous, everything tasted fresh and flavorful. In the mid-afternoon, this area is a good place to take a break in the airport. A few of the gates right around Potbelly were almost empty. I collapsed on a row of seats near the window and leisurely consumed my wrap while watching planes go by. It was quite pleasant. Marking off a star because I ordered ahead on their app while I was walking across the airport and they didn't make it until I got there, even though I had allowed 20 minutes for them to prepare it. No signage explaining where to go for pre-orders, so I had to flag someone down at the registers and she found the slip for the order. Then she sort of begrudgingly made it and handed it to me without any commentary. So yeah, seems to be a common theme here. No one was particularly friendly and they didn't actually make my order until I asked, but the food was good and at least somewhat healthy.
