Taylor Gourmet - Arlington

This buffet by weight offers an exciting variety of foods that caters to everyone's tastes. The restaurant features a clean and surprisingly spacious seating area. The hot bar showcases a fusion of Asian, American, and Hispanic cuisines, accompanied by daily specials that add even more variety. It's definitely a place to check out, whether you're feeling hungry or simply looking to try something different.

I’ve been visiting this restaurant for lunch and occasionally breakfast since the middle of the pandemic. Initially, they operated with a limited staff and only offered sandwiches, but I’m happy to report that the buffet has reopened and it’s been fantastic! There’s always something new and exciting in the Jane's Special section of the hot dishes, along with delightful surprises among the cold options. I learned from one of the managers this week that they have been in business for twenty-two years, which is quite impressive!

Plaza Gourmet is the best and most consistent spot for breakfast and lunch in Crystal City. The deli sandwiches and hot bar options are both great! Everyone that works there is super friendly and remembers you after you go there a few times.

They open at 7, not 6 as listed in Google. The staff is attentive and happy but not *too* happy! . *Great* breakfast menu they also have a b 'fast buffet and everything is cooked/prepared really well! Unfortunately, prices are indicative of the exorbitant rents in the area kinda on the high side . But if you 're eating here, you likely live in the area, so your rent is also too high, and you can afford overpriced food because you live here and your paycheck reflects everyone else 's imaginary local economy that makes this area too expensive it 's not my fault I have to raise your rent, it 's 'based on the local econonmy ' ... and, in the end, just makes it not worth it to live here unless you 're forced to in one way or another. ... sigh ...WITH ALL THAT SAID: This is a good place for either dine in or takeout breakfast. :

I was impressed by the food quality and quantity available and at reasonable prices given the location. Staff was friendly and helpful too. I'd definitely return if/when I'm in the area again.
