Happy Family, Falls Church, VA
Well, I had to try it sooner or later. It had been sitting there, this decrepit shack, right on the main drag in old Falls Church. “In Business Since 1996,” the menu says, and it has a sort of poor … Continue reading

Ravi Kabob I, Arlington, VA
People often wonder how I can eat out around 360 days a year. What do you do on Christmas or Thanksgiving, they’ll ask. Well, this Thanksgiving, and this past Christmas, I got carryout from Ravi Kabob. And I went again … Continue reading
The Sweetest Chef, Fairfax, VA
I’ve been to The Sweetest Chef (an obvious pun on The Swedish Chef?) twice in the past couple of weeks now. On the first visit, a sub-par tuna salad sandwich left me uninspired to return. And yet, I did. Honestly, … Continue reading

Chicken Loco, Annandale, VA
Chicken Loco had been closed for about seven months for renovations, but has reopened as of about three weeks ago. It’s an odd-man-out on the outskirts of Koreatown, serving primarily Salvadoran, Mexican, and Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa. Yet, there … Continue reading

MoCA Asian Bistro, South Riding, VA
I can’t find anything to convince me that MoCA is directly affiliated with its New York cousins; they both have different websites (ours is www.mocachantilly.com), and there’s nothing on the menu to indicate a link. Although the address is technically in … Continue reading
