    We are seafood lovers and were eager to visit Chasin Tails since they moved to their new location. We are not disappointed. Jeffrey the manager was our server (they were hosting a big party elsewhere in the restaurant). From the hostess greeting us to our server (see above) service was punctual, pleasant, and helped guide us in our choices. The menu is a bit limited (I would have liked more fresh fish choices) AND they have a concept: you chose the main course and then chose one of five different types of preparation. My wife had the New Zealand green lipped mussels in garlic sauce and it BLEW OUR SOCKS OFF it was literally that good (I lived in New Zealand for four years and it was as good as the best preparation I ever had in New Zealand). I had the gumbo. Again, the preparation and the freshness was excellent, as were the beignets we had for dessert. Can't say enough about this place, can't wait to return. Please keep in mind that the way it the place is laid out it is "modern" and "noisy" and lots of Gen Xer's and Millennials making noise. If you are looking for quiet and romantic best to choose the Warehouse in Alexandria, BUT again, I give Chasin Tails a strong, strong thumbs up.

Alex, our waiter was amazing!!! He went above & beyond to ensure my wife enjoyed her meal! Will definitely recommend to friends & family.

    Food was good. Service was lovely. We took our 16 year old here for his birthday dinner. He was not sure how to eat the crawfish so the waiter not only took time to explain but donned a pair of gloves and demonstrated. It was a sweet interaction. Had an enjoyable dinner!

    Chasin’ Tails in Falls Church, VA exceeded my expectations. From the decor, to the service, to the food & drinks…. all were a 10/10. 👍🏼👍🏼 Chasin’ Tails is serving seafood married with rich Asian flavors w/ an aesthetically pleasing decor. Everything was DELICIOUS! The decor is fabulous and every single bathroom has a different decor. Loved it! 😍 What we tried: - Crab Leg Seafood Boil w/ Cajun Butter & Citrus flavors - 10/10 - Lobster Mac & Cheese - 10/10 - Raise Up & After Cocktail - 10/10 Instead of standard tipping, Chasin’ Tails adds a 20% service fee to all bills. I didn’t mind this at all as everything was superb! 👍🏼 Free parking garage in walking distance. 🚶🏻‍♀️

    This was our first time at the Falls Church location. Great business decision to move from Arlington to Falls Church. Access to and amount of parking was more than adequate (AND FREE). Food was great and made to order. Wait staff were professional and accommodating. The owner Zee was gracious and kind. We had the whole lobster, shrimp cocktail, charbroiled oysters and white shrimp (medium heat- “oh dang” seasoning. Everything was very good. My charbroiled oysters came to the table warm. I returned it to get heated up a bit. My appetizer returned piping hot like I like it. We do plan on returning to try the Vietnamese/Cajun fusion items on the menu. NOTE: There is a 20% service charge to the bill. Notification was written as you enter and the wait staff informs you about the fee. No chance for you to be or act surprised.

    The service was very good. The garlic noodles were very good. The portion sizes were generous. We had the snow crab legs and shrimp boil with garlic noodles, sausage, corn and potatoes. The snow crab legs were rubbery and the shrimp were over done. The cost was very high. Will not do it again.

    Tried the relocated Falls Church location tonight. Made me really miss the old spot. Larger venue, but the menu, food, service and vibe went far downhill. Favorites are no longer on the menu, and what's left is not tasty and much more expensive. Service was very inexperienced...like ordered a few items a few times mailing it in inexperienced. Won't be back. Some unimpressive menu items now ~$240 per person...ur pushing frozen seafood here people not wagyu A5. At least you get to enjoy the trendy club music if that's ur thing for a meal where you're provided bibs and rubber gloves.

    The food was good but in comparison to other places such as Krafty Krab and other places that serve full service boils, this place was way overpriced. They also need to update their google search because they are still listed plunder 644 W Broad Street which is not correct. We got lost and had to call, no one answered!

    It could have been a 5 star. Staff is very nice and our server is great. All the food is fresh and delicious but of course it is on the higher amount side. As I said before, it could have been a 5 star for except for that $11 mocktails. They could have filled the glass, instead it just half filled. Come in guys, there is no alcohol on it just top it off. Will repeat but will not do any mocktail next time.

    Visit to new location in Falls Church with revised menu was disappointing. Chasin' Tails in the previous Falls Church location was a favorite venue, visited often. We will not be back to the new location. Food not nearly as good, portions were smaller and more expensive. Crab legs not done in boil-in-bag not nearly as goo . Sauce poured over the crab legs after cooking not the same as sauce boiled with the crab legs in the bag so sauce suffused into the meat. New location more upscale but standardly commercial,l, not an improvement

    The star of the show? Hands down, the garlic noodles. The noodles were cooked properly, and the dish had so much flavor. I placed a to-go order, which I never received. I greatly appreciated the taste of the andouille sausage and that the eggs were boiled properly. A good seafood boil needs quality seafood, of course, but a flavorful sauce seals the deal. While the snow crab legs and shrimp were quality and of a good size, the sauce lacked flavor. It had a definite kick (heat), which I appreciated, but otherwise it was bland. It needed more butter and spices. In addition, the potatoes were tasteless. It was evident that the sauce was poured atop the food, instead of the food being placed in the sauce to soak up flavor, though it was lacking. Lastly the food wasn’t particularly hot (temperature).

    This place was extremely noisy and the chairs screeching against the hardwood floors added to that. The drinks were weak, but expensive, the crab legs were under cooked, the lobster and mussels were over cooked. The manager gave me $90 of my bill but what I wanted was a good meal with great vibes not a discount. They also sat us right in front of the bathroom. I had high hopes for this place but I will not return.

    A very good seafood place. We found it to be an interesting mix of asian, Cajun styles. Everything was super tasty and good quality. The menu seems a bit limited in the sense that several plates are meant for more than two people to share. Anyways, we found a few individual options and these were delicious. We shared the beignets with ice cream and strawberry sauce. They were perfect! Service was good. There was always someone checking on us (much appreciated). Family friendly too!

    Calamari appetizer was excellent and hefty but needed more sauce. Ordered the Bling Empire to share. It was 99% noodles, which were great, but we did not order a seafood dish to fill up noodles. The lobster was over cooked and chewy. The dish contained very little protein. My husband and I each only got a few bites of seafood. While it tasted great, it was disappointing considering the price. I do appreciate that tip is included in the bill and that servers are paid a fair wage. Would go back to try other dishes.

    This was our first time here, and the service was outstanding, the cocktails and mocktails were unusual and very good, and the food was delicious. Loved their baked oysters, the mixed crispy appetizer, the brussel sprouts, and the butterscotch creme brulee-like dessert (way better than the beignets.) The only reason I gave it 4 stars overall instead of 5 was because of the acoustics: with a lot of hard surfaces in the place and the high ceiling, sound carries and is amplified, including the sound of chairs scraping on the concrete floor. Also, the chairs aren't very comfy...better for a quick bite than a longer, leisurely dinner, which is what we were there for. But still, a great addition to downtown Falls Church City, and we'll definitely go back.

    My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Chasin’ Tails. We shared a seafood boil of shrimp, with corn on the cob, red potatoes, and andouille sausage; along with a side of dirty Cajun rice. For dessert we shared the beignets, which came out warm and puffy, with two scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream. The service was terrific, and we definitely intend to come back again.

    The boil in a bag is much better, because the food stays warm for longer and is tastier, our crab legs got cold on an open plate and were not as juicy as when we used to get them in a bag and the flavour just wasn’t there. The noodles were the tastiest thing honestly. Also it was too loud inside. Service was great though, the wait staff are excellent.
