While Arlington and Fairfax both made the list, ARLnow’s editor was quick to tell ALXnow that no Alexandria restaurants made the New York Times’ D.C.’s Best Restaurants list.
Chinese restaurant Mama Cheng in Fairfax was in the top 25, as did Uyghur restaurant Bostan in Arlington.
If it’s any consolation: Alexandria restaurant Vermilion at 1120 King Street was listed as one of Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema’s five favorite spots in the area.
