Awarded Rare Three Star Rating

“Some restaurants beckon customers with distinguished cooking. Others keep their dining rooms busy with attention to service or attractive environs. But it’s unusual to find all three charms under one roof — with moderate prices to boot. Four Sisters, a vibrant reincarnation of the popular Huong Que (“Taste of Home”) in the Eden Center in Falls Church, is that infrequent restaurant that manages to satisfy all of our senses and keep our expenses in check.”

–Tom Sietsema, The Washington Post

Four Sisters, Cover Feature, Washingtonian Magazine, June 2009

“If there’s another restaurant as beautiful, delicious, and cheap as this Vietnamese veteran, we haven’t found it.”

10th Annual Dining Guide

“I’ve come to rely on Le Lai and Lieu Lai, two of the tribe, to steer me to choice directions on the epic menu. And over the years, my trust has been rewarded with such winners as the baby clams with chopped pork, the caramelized pork ribs and the roasted quail.”
