Great Wall Supermarket, Merrifield and Rockville
yesvirginia replied to zoramargolis's topic in Shopping and Cooking
Is the Merrifield Great Wall on Gallows still open for business, August 2021? Yelp reports that it has closed. Inquiring minds (hungry stomachs) want to know! -
Miu Kee, Southwest Falls Church
yesvirginia replied to The Hersch's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Has Miu Kee closed? I called this afternoon to order takeout and Verizon said "not available at this time". Would be a loss, one of my favorites in that neck of the woods. Excellent BBQ and large servings of ma po bean curd better than most. -
Dominion Deli has closed. Windows have been papered over and there is a goodbye message on Facebook. Unfortunate: it was an independent deli with real food in a convenient strip. Good breakfasts and old-fashioned sandwiches. It will be missed.

Relieved! Will visit soon. Have been disappointed before when an old favorite fades away before we know it is closing.

Dining in Annandale
yesvirginia replied to donandres311's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Thank you, Kibbee. We visited Marib last year and were very happy with it. Maybe we'll check out Saba soon. We are a group of readers who discuss our book selections at local restaurants. We try to eat at a restaurant associated with the locale/ethnicity featured in the month's book selection. Doesn't always work (we want to keep our reading options open regardless) so sometimes we just eat somewhere local and interesting. We appreciate yout thoughts. All suggestions will be gratefully received! -
Dining in Annandale
yesvirginia replied to donandres311's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Checking in after a long time offline. I'm searching for restaurants within 20 minutes of the George Mason Library (east end of Annandale strip on 236). US 50 and Gallows Road (Merrifield) probably ok, maybe north end of Springfield. Moderately priced. Here's the catch, am especially interested in African (west and Nigerian), Italian and other European, and Persian and Turkish. Also, any seafood recommendations, especially crabs and crabcakes? We already have good lists for Asian although of course any new recommendations would be very welcome. Amid the abundance of restaurants in the area, the cuisine preferences make a tall order. Any ideas? Thanks. -
Panisa Thai, Burke Center
yesvirginia replied to ol_ironstomach's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Panisa Thai has become my extended family's go-to. There is an area in back with a long table, rendering the restaurant considerably more baby- and kid-friendly. Good food, cheerful and good service, pleasant decor and very reasonably priced. Easy to enjoy frequently! -
Has Hong Kong Palace closed? Confused and saddened by entry at Gayot that it is "closed." https://www.gayot.com/restaurants/hong-kong-palace-falls-church-va-22044_33vg080503.html As in, "permanently closed? Checking today!

Speaking of Hong Kong Palace, has it closed? Gayot says is closed https://www.gayot.com/restaurants/hong-kong-palace-falls-church-va-22044_33vg080503.html Meaning, closed-closed or just not open right now ... ? I gotta find out TODAY! The Shopper's at that side of Seven Corners has reportedly closed as of September 1 and will be renovated into a Giant. A loss, this was an interesting grocery for an occasional visit, combining "merican with FFX County multicultural offerings.

Thank you for the brunch and weekday buffet news. I enjoyed the food and decor when I ate there several months (a year?) ago. I avoid Tyson's like the plague but will get a grip and visit again soon.

Kibbee Nayee-Led Springfield Movable Feast
yesvirginia replied to DonRocks's topic in Events and Gatherings
Count me in; how do I sign up? Afghan Bistro is wonderful although I haven't been there in a long time. My Afghan friends, from Kabul, give it an A+ for both authenticity and taste. Would also be pleased with a progressive dinner and cooperate, although it is recognized the human tendency is to stay put once enjoying a good meal.- 5 replies

Agree completely. The Afghani members of our party raved about the food ... and yes they know how good home-cooked Afghan food can be. Another of the many factors to commend Afghani Bistro is that they serve halal meat (see my entry at that topic). We'll be back for sure.
