Immigrant Food Ballston — Restaurant in Arlington

The most interesting, flavorful, food and cocktails we've had in a while! The dumplings by themselves are exploding with layers of flavor, but then you try the sauce which is a complex beautifully spiced sauce that you want to drink. The new Immigrant Burger is unbelievable and made me want to hug the cooks who made it. It was that good. Brussel sprouts were the best cooked and most flavorful brussel sprouts I've had in the area. The samosas are good but the dough is a bit oily (not sure how my MIL makes them where the dough isn't oily). The cocktails are perfection and just as interesting and layered with flavor as the food, including the mocktails.

Service and vibe are top notch. The menu seems to be evolving because the Korean-style burger has been replaced (excellent move, don't get rid of the current burger please), the Turkish eggs that some reviews mention are not on the menu anymore. I love a place that actually changes their menu and lets it evolve.

Truly one of the best dining experiences we've had in recent months. Food you will remember, for sure. The passport at the end is a brilliant idea that we loved. Can't...

I visited during restaurant week and it was my first time. The wings here are AMAZING, they are the best wings I've had in a very long time. The ambience is really nice, its a nice colorful restaurant. The bar is well stocked and they have bar seating as well as two and four people seating. I ordered the wings, cauliflower dish and the vanilla icecream with the espresso poured on top. Like I said before the wings were amazing, the cauliflower with the caramelized syrup on top and hummus on the bottom of the plate was good but it was served a little warm tending towards cold, it was worth a try for restaurant week, i wouldnt order on a regular visit because while this restaurant is good, it's also quite pricey. The customer service was great, all the servers and bartenders took good care of me. I ordered a spritz drink and it was so good, the ingredients were very fresh, i could smell the orange slices and they smelled really good and the drink was LARGE! great value for money with the drink. I will definetly be back...

I can’t get over how fantastic this place is! A perfect addition to the neighborhood with wonderful food + drinks and equally great service. Everyone on that staff is bringing their A game. I went there twice in one week to try their lunch and brunch, both of which were outstanding.

I’d like to give a special shout out to their bartender, Ryan, for making my mom and I a custom drink on the fly! We noticed a bright pink liquor bottle on display over the bar that we were curious about (turns out it was grapefruit flavored gin!), and we asked what cocktail they used it in. He told us that he hadn’t opened it or incorporated it into a drink yet, but he offered to make us something with it to try. He ended up making us a “Salty Dog” with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, which was PERFECT. Give this man a raise and a knighthood.

I can’t wait to see where they...
