A Taste of the World — Restaurant in Herndon

My two youngest daughters and I have visited this wonderful restaurant every Monday night over the past 6 weeks (except for the Monday, 23 Nov 20, before Thanksgiving). First, the ambiance is very warm, international, and comfortable. Second, the service is world class. Liza, the owner, is the perfect hostess and sisterly figure who simply desires to feed you (her extended family) with the best foods - she's become the incredibly accommodating Aunt to my daughters. My daughters now hug her before we leave. Third, the food is outstanding. I've been to the Philippines three (3) times and Thailand twice. I've eaten home cooked Philippine food all over the US with family and friends from the home-country (PI). I've even had lessons on how to make Lumpia Shanghai and Pancit (Philippine version of pasta-boiled and stir simmered rice noodles (or rice sticks per Philippine foodies)). My creations were actually considered good-to-very good by known foodies. Liza's creations are the best, by far, that I have ever enjoyed. And, Liza takes requests for spiciness, specific ingredients, and doneness. Me? I usually ask her to surprise me with an appetizer and main course. One of the best is the bulalo (beef bone marrow soup with hearty sirloin, boiled cabbage, and bok choy) - WOW! Make sure you order an extra serving of sticky rice. I use a fork and spoon to separate a bit of leafy vegetables, some of the sirloin, and a small bit of the yummy marrow (out of the bone) into the soup spoon. Then, scoop a bit of rice into the spoon with all of those elements, dip into the soup broth and enjoy one of the best combination of flavors EVER. Try each ingredient individually accompanied by rice and a quick dip into the soup broth...sheer culinary heaven. They also serve take-away and...

My trip to Taste of the World Restaurant was a unique culinary adventure that immersed me in the essence of Filipino cuisine. I was welcomed with warmth and hospitality as soon as I walked in, which set the stage for an amazing dinner experience.

The meals are unparalleled in their genuineness. With each bite of the delicate beef and creamy peanut sauce of the Kare Kare, I was taken back to the streets of Manila. I was hankering over more Lumpia Spring Rolls because of their delicious blend of crispiness and savoury contents.

Not only is the cuisine great, but the restaurant's welcoming atmosphere and kind staff also make it stand out. It was the ideal location to enjoy authentic Filipino flavours with friends and family because of the lively yet welcoming atmosphere. Every guest was made to feel welcome and well-cared for by the attentive and exemplary personnel.

Overall, I had an absolutely wonderful experience. Taste of the World is the perfect place to go if you're searching for a genuine Filipino dining experience that blends delectable food, cordial service, and a cosy atmosphere. I am very excited to return to this...

Hard to find using google maps. The restaurant is behind Hyatt house (i had to call the restaurant and ask for directions. From Herdon drive, turn into Hyatt house, then drive through the hyatt's south parking lot to a hidden complex in the back. (A sign would have helped). The area can be described as professional industrial.There is a little garden patch of vegatables growing between the parked cars and the restaurant window below the dining area. I had searched for "Lumpia near me" to satisfy a craving. The lumpia were tiny. I got 9 the size of a man's pinky with a bowl of thin sweet chili sauce. They definitely tasted like they had been frozen. The mediocre pancit noodles were super fine and slightly salty. Searching for the chicken pieces reminded me of looking for jelly beans among An over abundance of easter basket grass. The menu had entrees from a variety of countries. I feel as if the management should pick just 1 or 2 regions and focus on specializing their dishes rather than trying unsuccessfully to please everyone's...
