But let's then look for some new places, maybe in the areas that are "growing so quickly," and leave out the chain restaurants, which don't add much, if anything, to the dining landscape.
Also, I think that we should assume for argument's sake that almost all of the ethnic Asian places there are good to excellent. Therefore, we really should not need to mention any of them in this thread unless they prove themselves to be lacking in some way.
In Northern VA, we have always stopped for Asian food at the first place we happen to see when we get the urge and are almost always happy with what is put on the table, but we also would like to be warned off the few stinkers. I myself, instead of immediately fogetting, will now make a note of the names of places like the lousy Japanese place in the shopping center near the Dulles Marriott Suites so that I can pass them along in threads like this.
