Tupelo Honey Cafe, Courthouse
First the good news. These people know how to fry chicken. Crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. No hint of grease. Now the bad news. They need to hire decent management and train their employees. This … Continue reading

Rappahannock Coffee & Roasting, South Arlington
My expectations of Rapphannock Coffee & Roasting were so low that it wouldn’t have taken much to exceed them. However, despite its flaws, Rappahannock is one coffee house that South Arlington or North Alexandria residents should be aware of. I … Continue reading

Bangkok Golden: Two Separate Companies With Two Separate Websites
I’ve changed the name of this thread from “Tong Thai” to “Bangkok Golden,” despite the possibilities of conflating these two restaurants (which are in Fort Washington, MD and in University Mall, near George Mason University, in Fairfax) with the Seven … Continue reading

Pizza Vinoteca, Ballston
I’m upgrading Pizza Vinoteca to Italic. I didn’t feel like venturing out to lunch today, so I ordered delivery through GrubHub, ordering a House Pizza (a bargain at $8) with tomato, fontina, mozzarella, and basil and a Tarte Flambée ($12) … Continue reading

Mala Tang, Virginia Square
Following goodeats’ recommendation about Chinese dining on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I wanted to remind Christmas diners that Mala Tang is open until 10 PM tonight (I called and verified this, although don’t be surprised if they close a bit early). Last night, … Continue reading

Pupatella, Ballston
(See the July 25, 2014, Review here.) For a long time – over a year – whenever I went to Pupatella, both Enzo and Anastasiya were both there, every single time without exception. Then, life for them progressed, they had a … Continue reading
Oriental Gourmet, North Arlington
A few days ago, I was reading over this thread, and combining its general tone with my own experiences, I made the hypothesis that Oriental Gourmet might just be the best “white-carton,” Americanized Chinese restaurant in the area. I decided … Continue reading

Ravi Kabob I, Arlington
(See the December 29, 2010 Ravi Kabob I review here.) I stopped into Ravi Kabob at around 10 PM on a recent evening, and there was still pretty much of a full house, and a line of 2-3 people in … Continue reading

Pupatella, Arlington, VA
(See the June 21, 2011 Review here.) Confession time. A few years ago, I had called Pupatella the new king of pizza in the DC area, having wrested that (unofficial, but correct) award away from Comet Ping Pong, which had … Continue reading
