The Four Sisters

8190 Strawberry Lane
Fairfax, Virginia 22042

The Four Sisters used to be one of the star attractions at the Eden Center, northern Virginia’s most prominent cluster of Vietnamese eateries. Their new home is on Strawberry Lane near the junction of Gallows Rd and Lee Hwy just inside the Beltway. They haven’t missed a beat in the transition. The Sisters is arguably the best Vietnamese restaurant in Virginia. Food, service and value are excellent. At the Eden Center, they were surrounded by competition, some of it excellent also (e.g. Viet Royale). By moving from the ethnic cocoon of Eden Center, the Four Sisters seem determined to thrive separately and independently. So far so good.

Their menu is a veritable catalog of traditional Vietnamese appetizers, side dishes, soups and main courses. Beyond a la carte, their family specials offer a fixed price menu (two choices of signature dishes for each course ) for parties from two to ten that are a great value. If you are a party of two, you might feast on five courses at $16.50 a head; if you are a party of ten, you get a ten course dinner at the same price per head. It pays to bring your family or friends to the Four Sisters. The decor and atmosphere is outstanding. Adult beverages available.
