Wonder Reston

We tried this out on a Friday night, about a week after their opening. Got delivery. Everything was warm and in good condition when it arrived. Four of us ordered, four different concepts, and everything was really good, exceeded expectations. I had tuna poke with wasabi and poke sauce which was great, the best poke bowl I've had in a while. Got brisket and corn bread, both large portions, the brisket weighed in at 14 ounces. So good, my son didn't have any left to share. We also got fried rice, also good, according to a fried rice expert. And finally a Korean cheese steak, which was quite large and thoroughly enjoyed. I did pay for quicker delivery and that did not happen, but when I included a comment about that in my in-app review Wonder proactively responded and have me a generous credit. They just recently opened, if you can give them a little grace and are patient on delivery and some sold-out items you might find a new favorite take out place where everyone can be satisfied! Certainly we will be back!

Experience: -17/5- WORSE of both worlds: fast food place with wait times and prices of full service restaurant. We came prepared to have a nice lunch and as soon as we walked in we said “yup, it’s take out now” We waited 30 minutes for our order of chicken wings, fries and a burger. Drove home to find out that the HUGE bag just had the wings, sauce and cutlery. Had to drive back, complain and wait another 20 minutes for them to make the burger and fries. - Food: you’ll get better wings at dominos. Burger was the truffle burger- ate it because at this point it was starvation as real. Just terrible. - concept: like ideas of food halls and I have seen great examples. This wasn’t it- it felt like commercial kitchen rented to random people and we are just supposed to pretend it’s ok to serve same food in different color boxes. Conclusion: Never again. Not worth the gas, money or the calories.

This place has such a cool concept. It’s basically 24 different restaurants all under one roof, created by all-star chefs from around the U.S. So instead of traveling across the country to try everyone’s signature dishes, you get access to all of it in one spot. Pretty genius if you ask me. You do most of the ordering online, so there isn’t much interaction with staff. It’s very “order-ahead-and-go” energy. There are some tables where you can sit and eat once you pick up your food, but it’s not a full dine-in experience — more like takeout vibes with the option to stay. Now onto the food — everything I tried was packed with flavor and tasted like each component was meant to be there. Nothing felt random or thrown together. I ordered from Jota by José Andrés and got: • Setas al Ajillo These mushrooms on toasted bread were amazing. Super garlicky (in the best way), and the bread tasted like they rubbed raw garlic straight onto it — so smart and so delicious. The only downside: it’s supposed to come with mojo verde and mine didn’t. I can only imagine how much better it would’ve been with that extra sauce. • Carrilleras de Cerdo Braised pork cheeks over creamy mashed potatoes with a rich gravy. The pork was insanely tender — basically falling apart if you looked at it. Flavor-wise, no complaints. Portion-wise… for $19, it was tiny. I’d feel better paying around $14 for what I got. I ordered from Chios Taverna by Michael Symon and got: -The spanakopita, which is one of my all-time favorite foods. And this one did not disappoint. Perfectly seasoned filling, crispy phyllo, and honestly I could’ve eaten like 12 of them. Overall, I’d definitely come back to try more spots. The variety, quality, and convenience are hard to beat, just wish some portion sizes matched the price tag a little better.

Love the concept and the vibe But the food was not on point. Got the sweet potato and feta salad from yasas because it was on the recommendation, but sadly it was disappointing. I dont think putting bunch of ingredients mixed together makes the food good. Im open to try different places within the place but not this one

Even though it was a new store their food was on point despite the lunch rush, they have a bright future ahead and their the only restaurant in the area open late night after 9

Well, it isn’t an eat on sit. The pad thai w shrimp was amazing. More than 7 shrimp in Reston is not common.;) Food court atmosphere without the mall.

I personally love this place! I don’t get the harsh negative reviews. Seems like they only tried one thing out of 20 plus restaurants to choose from and made a decision too quickly. It’s not fine dining but it is definitely decent and tasty takeout. Great option for the nights you don’t feel like cooking. Especially when buying for people with different taste buds. I also LOVE that they clearly list allergens. Makes it so much easier for me to order for me and my husband. The fact that I can place one order and pick up pizza for my husband and fish and veggies for myself at the same location is PHENOMENAL. I normally would have to drive around to different places or pay extra delivery fees. I want this place to stay around for a long time. Ignore the negative Nancys. You guys are awesome!

It’s 7:30 on a Wednesday night, and somehow the Hanu Poke is already out of half a dozen standard toppings? Y’all didn’t think you need to stock up on edamame…for a Poke menu? Or ginger? It would be like an Italian restaurant running out of garlic bread. Also the Mexican option is out of enchiladas. I don’t know whether to call these things a restaurant? Shop? Storefront? Not sure what the most accurate term is when it’s all just a big fake “Ghost kitchen” that’s about real as a Hollywood western movie set pretending to be the prairie. For the Barrio’s Cafe Mexican, already half of all their enchiladas sold out, or in the case of my choice, “Only 1 Left”. Did they run out of chicken? Mole sauce?? At this rate I’m almost expecting rice to be sold out next. I’ve never experienced ordering food on a delivery app where they were literally out of multiple items on the menu. This isn’t a department store on Black Friday that’s run out of flat screen TV’s and you at least understand the scarcity. Update: Got my chicken enchilada, extremely meh, barely-seasoned meat and I can’t even taste a hint of salt, the sauce was conversely overly salty and didn’t taste like fresh-made verde, more as if they popped by Wegmans, bought a jar of green salsa, then dumped it onto the re-heated enchiladas. Remember: None of the food from Wonder is actually being made there. It’s coming from pre-made kits that are shipped to the location, re-assembled, and then re-heated or put in an air fryer. Go to Trader Joe’s frozen section, spend $5, and you’ll have a better dining experience there.
