Blink and you just might miss Lo’s Hunan Szechuan Restaurant in Fairfax. Like most northern Virginia Chinese takeaways, Lo’s is tucked into one of the many strip malls in the area, but don’t let its modest appearance fool you. According to the restaurant’s loyal customers, the food (and the service) is worth coming back for. There are no surprises on the menu; you’ll find all of your “Chinese” favorites. Lo’s offers an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet on Sundays, and you can choose to eat any of your meals family style.
