Peking Imperial, $5 lunches, $10 dinners, great for lunch.
  I'm especially fond of their Sha Cha Chicken dish.

Charlie's, $9 lunches, $16 dinners, busy so try to avoid the crush.
  They have a great "Cajun Chicken Grill sandwich".  Their burgers
  are good too (especially the cajun version).

In Vienna, just on the other side of the Beltway from McLean:
  o  Le Canard, French restaurant in a shopping center off Maple Ave
     (route 123) and Branch
  o  That's Amore, Italian, in same shopping center
  o  Aarathi, Indian, in same shopping center
  o  Tara Thai, in the George Mason Bank building off Maple Ave
     and Courthouse Rd
  o  Nizam's, Turkish, in Green-something shopping center, off Maple
     Ave. and Nutley

In McLean,
  o  Greek Taverna, on Old Dominion and Beverly
  o  Cafe Taj, Indian, same building as Greek Taverna

Ahh, Charlie's. Favorite hangout of businessmen and spooks alike. I've had many-a shrimp there during hapy hour. I'll second the recommendation.
