Reviews for Lakeside Asia Cafe in Reston, VA
This place is such a hidden gem, literally the best Sichuan food I've ever had and it's so easy to drive past this place without... noticing it. I moved away from Virginia and I think about this restaurant all the time as I haven't been able to find anythingnearly as good. The manager was a little too chatty though. Read more
The cold noodles are fantastic, and the spicy black chicken is def the highlight! So tasty.
Reston! You are sleeping on this place! The food is really really good, very high quality. Great presentation, can ask for... more or less spice. Service was great if not ...not rushed lol but ill take great quality, fair price over that any day. Myfamily and I will certainly be back! Thank you!!! Read more
Great authentic Sichuan cuisine. Had a great experience eating here and will definitely come back. Staff was friendly and... service was fast. Food was on the pricier side, but well worth it. The Mapo tofu was a highlight. Every dish was properlycooked and had a lot of flavor. Would recommend. Read more
I was told by a colleague that the owners that took over running the Asian Lakeside Cafe were from Chungdu, Szechuan China.... Szechuan cuisine, is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from Sichuan Province. It has bold flavours, particularly thepungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and chili peppers, as well as the unique flavour of Sichuan pepper. Sichuan pepper causes a tingling sensation and to me that is the real test of real Szechuan. I was so excited to find the realdeal here and near where I live Read more
Great Chinese restaurant in DMV! Authentic Chinese SiChuan dishes. I like recent recommended new dish: pot stewed chicken(???).... Seems this dish is only seasonal (probably around Mid-Autumn Festival) Read more
The best Sichuan restaurant, even I can confidently say Lakeside Asia Cafe is one of the best Chinese restaurant in DMV area! My... whole family like it so much. "Chongqing Spicy Chicken" is the must order dish every time from my 10 year old boy . Read more
They used to be good when i moved to Herndon. food was good and price was reasonable. But now they are overpriced, food is not... as good as before. I think they increase the price and decrease the quality of food in order to save money. and every dishes iordered were very salty ! and side rice is not free. Read more
