10. Teppanyaki Grill

Went here as part of a group tour. Our waitstaff was quite rude, had a real attitude problem, unapproachable, was not helpful. Everything was trouble to her, even providing water. She also made me move tables so I was sitting alone rather than with the group for no reason at all. Large buffet selection of average quality however was let down by the lack of ice cream that usually abundant at these types of places.
9. Pho Saigon 54
Reviewed By 234amyp
The restaurant is small and a little dated but don't let that keep you from eating here. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. This was my husband and I's first time eating pho so we didn't have much to compare it to. However, we loved it. The portion size is huge, even if you order a small bowl. Each bowl comes with a plate of basil, sprouts, lime and jalapenos that you can add to your soup if you like. I got the chicken and it was very good. Note they post signs that say you need to spend at least 10$ for a credit card. However, small bowls are about 8$ a piece so that wouldn't be hard to do even if you came by yourself.

Remember in days way gone past going to Benihana, it was a big deal with the hibachi grill table and the chefs doing the great tricks? It was a show for the night and I thought a whole lot of fun. Maybe a little bit $$$ but the fact I still recall the experience tells me it was a deal worth the cost. I'll admit it has been some time since I've been to the chain and will also say it may be longer as I hate to go as my local one is in a area that is hard for parking in Bethesda.Given this, a little web surfing and I find this place up in a mini mall that has almost nothing but food. The drive is nothing for me but the parking was a little wacky come 8:30 on a Sat night. I'd advise you think about when you want to eat & parking for this neck of the woods or be ready to suck it up and walk across Montpelier Rd from the hotel parking lot.BTW, you should have shopped Groupon a day ahead and get a deal; one can't get a coupon right before you eat of course.We made reservations but, the place had a lot of seats open when we walked in. One could sit at the Sushi Bar if that is all you crave or land as most do at a big table with a grill in the center and 7 to 12 or so seats wrapped around. As we were seated a large party was in the back having a heck of a good time; the chef was working them more than the grill. We were seated at a table with another nice couple at the other end. We could see some tables with just one couple. An than it was "Chuck E Cheese" time: a whole lot of kids showed up! One table was filled with eight 5 to 12 year olds hosted by a teen girl and boy friend. Also, mom showed up with a range of ten kids from 4 to 16. Guess this place is very family friendly as it does have a Children Menu and to my surprise the kids behaved better than expected.We ordered with a nice Ms Waiter; she brought out a soup and salad that was simple and OK. You are allowed to pick Hibachi or French Garlic Shrimp and also pick Fried or white rice; between wife and I we picked everything. OK not much to say about the soup and salad. Skip the mixed drinks less you'd like fruit drinks, just too little bang for the buck. Stay with beer or wine. The "Combination Sashimi Apetizer" was an ok presentation of tuna and yellowtail. Only bummer about it was Mr. Chef was at the table working his thing before we got it so maybe it was a tad late. Mr. Chef does the joke about egg roll as he spins the egg on the grill just before he brakes it to fry; I think that is one old joke but it still works....we work to get the Sashimi Apetizer down before he has something ready....In a flash, he had the fried rice done; funny my wife does not get any white rice as ordered. He cranked out the other orders with what I'll call good but not fantastic show. He does the onion volcano thing it is all good. I've asked for my Sirloin Steak to be med rare and he is grilling the heck out of it; it is way done by the time I get it. I do like the chicken and Hibachi shrimp. Wife is OK with the Garlic Shrimp and Scallops but still has to ask as Mr. Chef is wrapping up for her rice.I think to close we agree the whole experience with the Groupon makes the deal fun, maybe more fun if we had brought some friends to fill the table and had some beer and got all our stuff on time....We may well give the place another shot some time. Great chance for someone who have never been to Japanese steak place.
7. Grande Buffet and Grill

Having recently returned from a trip from Southern California and given that my friends/family went out of town, and also having reasonably good experiences at the nearby Teppanyaki Grill at Laurel Lakes, I'd decided to give the other main buffet in the area a go, after waiting a few weeks due to a power outage. First off, the server was very orderly and helpful, and the place seemed clean, even if the ambiance wasn't quite as appealing as the sleeker Teppanyaki location. The trouble is, at $12.50 instead of $10 over there, I expected somewhat better food quality. Boy, I was disappointed, with the biggest being the sesame chicken, which tasted so dry and undercooked, that I couldn't eat it completely! The sushi was just cold and felt dry, a big letdown from all the great sushi on the west coast trip and I've had better at the local Giant. Even the desserts were rather bland. Overall, if you can't find an all-you-can-eat establishment elsewhere, eat here with low expectations, but otherwise, either pay a little extra for better quality or head over to Teppanyaki.

Right at the corner of EASTBOUND Rt198 and southbound RT1. Next to a 5 guys burger place. This visit was good, parking easy with nice employees. Food was cooked good and the place looked clean. I did go a little early 1130/so there was no line. No complaints this time. All good, get the two item combo, plenty of food

Ah, Pho Kevin is worthy of a write-up for its wonderful offerings. Its Pho dishes are well-made, but what sets it apart from other places is the spicy beef noodle (Bun Bo Hue), to the tasty and fragrant grilled meat dishes, to the wonderfully grilled shrimp in the Bun Salad with that quality fish sauce, to the sweet bean dessert. I am thrilled that I can visit an establishment close to my home that serves such variety of dishes beyond the beef noodle soup Pho dish that can be found in every strip mall in the region.

I spoke to the manager on 12/22 about our experience. For a Saturday during the holidays, it was busy. But the birthday celebration we got for our friend allowed us to get seated fairly quick. Our server was Queeny (who apparently is new). She started off with a attitude and less than welcoming tone when introducing herself and getting our drink orders. Then our cook was probably new too as he did not have that many good tricks and even messed some up badly, such as dropping his spatula. To add insult, the food was undercooked and eventually made me sick the next day (undercooked / old rice, undercooked mushrooms and noodles). We also asked Queeny if we could get a birthday celebration done for our fried whoâs birthday was on 12/23. So Queeny asks for her ID and simply said âtoday is not 12/23â and walked off. Such a simple gesture was ignored and made the experience terrible. The manager even said that he would have approved that and didnt know why she said that...I have been here before and had great experiences but this one was one that ruined it for me.

The Mandarin House has been around for quite awhile and has a great reputation! I've NEVER had a bad meal from there. I typically order the Singapore Noodles and the Crispy Beef. Both of these dishes are absolutely delicious. Plenty of shrimp, chicken and pork in the Singapore Noodles and the beef in the Crispy Beef dish is very tender. I've also tried the Lemon Chicken and the Sesame Chicken. Both of these dishes are also very tasty. Mandarin House will always be my first choice for Chinese food in the Laurel area.

I love Thai, but my arm stuck to the bar and feet to the floor. Am in town because of work and eat alone. The service was OK - not rude but not welcoming either. I want to go back but after trying it twice it just doesn't call to me. Noticed other dining alone so it must work for some people.
