" Walking into NiHao Arlington was like stepping into a culinary adventure! The tapas-style menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, each bursting with flavor. We started with the garlic cucumber salad and quickly fell in love with the dry-fried green beans. The atmosphere was both cozy and vibrant, making it perfect for a night out with friends. Our server was very attentive and even suggested the best drinks to pair with our food. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

I highly recommend the garlic cucumber salad and the chongqing spicy chicken – both packed with authentic flavors.

I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" NiHao provides a fresh twist to traditional Chinese dining by offering a tapas-style experience. We enjoyed everything from the aromatic garlic cucumbers to the flavorful stir-fried beef. They had excellent service, though there was a minor delay when it got busy. The atmosphere was lively, adding to the overall experience, but I would suggest midweek dining to avoid the rush. Definitely looking forward to returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to NiHao a couple of times and each visit has been exciting! The staff is always welcoming, making you feel like a valued guest. While I absolutely loved the variety of dishes, I found some to be on the saltier side. The ambiance does get a little loud during busy hours. My favorite was definitely the dry-fried fish, and I can’t get over how fresh the ingredients taste. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We discovered NiHao on a whim, and it exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere is lively and fun, perfect for a group outing or date night. The quality of food was on point; the dry pot dish was flavorful and satisfying. Our server was kind but seemed rushed throughout dinner service. Minor inconvenience aside, we left very satisfied. Definitely recommending to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem NiHao Arlington is! I was there for a dinner date night, and it showcased everything I appreciate about dining out. The menu is diverse, allowing us to sample multiple dishes; the garlic cucumber salad was a personal favorite. The bartenders were exceptional, especially with cocktail pairings! I think the portions are decent for sharing. The ambiance was cheerful and vibrant; I can see myself becoming a frequent visitor! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited NiHao with my family, hoping to share beautiful moments over some good food. The atmosphere was inviting and homely, but the portions seemed smaller for the price point, which was disappointing. The wait staff was friendly but overwhelmed. However, the flavors were on par with authentic Sichuan food. I would recommend for the food, but perhaps consider that it might be a comfy place for a smaller group. " (*Curated Review*)
