“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“Delicious fresh food, beautiful presentation. Wonderful attentive staff, highly recommend. We will definitely return to enjoy an evening with music of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you very much.“

“My family and I visited Satay Club on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, DC, and we loved it so much that we came back the very next day!

The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Every dish we tried was delicious, and you could tell it was prepared with care and attention to detail.

A special thank you to Howaah for making both visits so memorable. She was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She always seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask and made sure our family was comfortable throughout our meals. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and friendly personality truly stood out and added so much to our dining experience.

Great food and exceptional service are hard to find, but Satay Club delivered both. We left feeling like valued guests and look forward to returning again soon. Highly recommended!“

“We made a reservation for Baan Mae, which wasn't necessary but we wanted to ensure we had a table. The food is so complex and fresh. I've never been to any restaurant that compare to this one. The spring rolls were delicious and came with fresh mint, lettuce, rice noodle and peanut sauce to put together. We ordered the catfish with tumeric sauce that was heavenly and complex, and the noodles with brisket. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and will definitely return the next time we visit. Our waiter was extremely attentive and helpful.“

“Visited over the weekend, service was outstanding! They were so helpful and friendly, guiding us through ordering and making recommendations. The food was too-notch! Bright and refreshing, and with LOTS of flavor! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something fresh and new!“

“Sitting at the sushi bar and connecting with the chefs (chatting or just observing the art) is by far one of our favorite experiences when we go for sushi. Taku gave us that and so much more! This will be our standout place for sushi forever!! Simply delicious and effortlessly elegant!“

“The food is always excellent“

“DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Tiny portions and mediocre food for insane prices. Do Not Recommend! We waited 15 minutes to be asked if we needed water. then 10 more until they even brought it. The Thai rice was kinda mushy, the Peanut noodles were so so and the Garlic noodles was such a small portion I thought I was being punked which i tried eating made it half way and didnt finish. Then when the staff asked why were weren't eating the food they didn't even bother to comp or just apologize after we told the manager how we felt. Terrible experience and honestly the worst food I've eaten in DC in the last few months of visiting! I would have rather gone to CAVA.“

“fresh, fast, and delicious. I'm visiting from Orlando and have enjoyed trying out the local quisine My meal at Bibibop has been my favorite so far and the staff was super friendly and the restaurant very clean.“

“Solid pho, plus it came out extremely fast and the place seems clean. Would happily try other things there. The worst part was the noodles: not great but ok given that it’s a casual and fast spot; the noodles were almost exclusively short and there were few long ones, perhaps overcooked and they fell apart.“

“Came by Kata recently to check out their new menu and I was blown away !!
Cocktails were amazing 10/10
The Asian tapas were so creative and filling - The beef ribs 10/10 😍

Very happy they revamped their look and vibe - it definitely is something to come check out“

“MohMohLicious is delicious! They have an extensive menu, including lots of vegetarian options, and the portions are substantial—I get two days of leftovers from one entree. The food is fresh, piping hot, and just generally delectable. All in an unassuming little shop on Georgia Ave. The in-restaurant seating is limited (and chilly in the winter), so you might want to consider takeout.“

“$2 Crazy Hour is absolutely insane! They have a great selection of sushi and various appetizers. The sushi is the same high quality as their dinner service ,the fish pieces are huge and incredibly fresh. The alcohol are 50% off, and the selection is massive,they're not stingy like other places that only offer one or two brands. It's a super friendly restaurant, and you absolutely cannot find a better deal in town!“

“This place is a must if you are craving solid, comforting Chinese takeout, this is your go to The food is consistently prepared at the moment, flavorful. Everything arrives hot and well-packaged, which makes takeout easy and stress-free. Service is fast and super friendly. Overall, it’s reliable Chinese takeout that keeps you coming back.“

“Yes, this restaurant is highly recommended for a casual dining experience.“

“This is my favorite halal restaurant in DC. Whenever I visit the area, I have to stop by to pick up my regular order of lo mein and chicken dumplings. Food is delicious and portion size is good. If they opened up a branch around Rockville MD, I'd definitely be a weekly customer.“

“Small and cozy setting food was great. The only issue is limited parking in the area.“

“This place has some of the best customer service I've ever experienced! The last time I ordered, my order was incorrect, so I called the restaurant. May sincerely apologized and told me that the next time I ordered, she would include an extra sushi roll for free.

A couple of weeks later, I placed another order and didn't mention the previous issue at all. When I walked into the restaurant, May recognized me immediately and told me she had already put the complimentary sushi roll in my bag. I was so impressed that she remembered me without any reminder.

Our team has lunch here all the time because the food is great, but the outstanding customer service is what really keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“I went at noon and it was not crowded at all, and it was quiet, a big bonus for me these days. No loud music and people shouting in order to converse over it. The food was very good, very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for Asian fusion cuisine and sushi.“

“Quick service, yummy, one roll was plenty for me! They even brought it over to my table! I got the orange dragon roll, which perfectly combined shrimp tempura, tuna and salmon with spicy mayo! Those are my fave rolls! The place is near the ice rink and not a ton of seating. But overall, I would eat here again!

Edit: I walked around, got hungry and came back for a second roll!“

“This place is kind of difficult to find as it is in the 3rd level on Union Station. I dined here at 4:30pm on a Tuesday and the place was empty. I had the curry laksa noodle which I had never tried before. I'm not sure if this is how they serve it normally but it had two different kinds of noodles. The soup was a bit salty to my taste but it was filling and overall quite good. I would definitely go again if I have to wait before a train.“

“I hadn’t been here in forever and ended up meeting a friend for a quick lunch. The Singapore Noodles HIT and to get a nice cup of wonton soup for a $1 more? No brainer. Can’t beautiful the price for the quality and the lunch portion was perfect. Certainly adding it into the office lunch rotation!“

“Stumbled into this shop on my way to La Colombe for a coffee break and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and cleanliness of the shop.

Definitely stopping in this week for their grand opening with a friend from Fannie Mae and hope that this becomes a staple in my lunch rotation“

“Had my dinner there. The Asian cuisine is yummy and the prices are reasonable. Friendly , helpful and attentive staffs. Clean n cosy ambience. If you are yearning for Asian cuisine while there, seek out for Banana Leaves Asian Restaurant ! Bon Appetit! 😋😋😋👍👍👍🍻🥂🍷“

“Nice place,adjacent to the hotel. Servings were ample, service was really good. My only issue was everything came out so fast most of it was lukewarm by the time we got to it. Wound up taking some home with us. Prices were good but it added up fast. More of a family style sit down place.“

“Quick competent service, a little under flavored combination fried rice. Needed a little vinegar as over oiled. The individual meat, tofu and veg items in the fried rice were cooked perfectly.
I guess just ask for a little less less. They are just get some vinegar or chili oil and add it. When I added the chili oil, that's pretty good.
Only a couple outdoor tables.“

“Cool little spot. Great service and very fresh tasting food.“

“Decent poke bowl and spring rolls. Good for a quick bite. The poke bowl seemed a bit smaller than other places Ive been to but the ingredients seemed fresh. I saw the guy who made it chopping.

Casual atmosphere. Nothing fancy at all about this place.

The service was slow but I'm not sure if it was because they were short staffed or what. You could tell the workers were hustling. They did pretty well for the amount of orders coming in and amount of staff they had but there was a bit of a wait. I saw some other patrons getting a bit impatient. But otherwise good. Id go back for a quick bite.“

“This has to be the best General Tso's Chicken I've ever had and I'm not exaggerating. What's even more surprising is that the prices are close to the early 2000s cheap which are incredible; I don't know how they're operating with cheap prices and good food. The General Tso's Chicken is meaty. The service is good and polite, you can use the restroom.“

“I love mayflower! Definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Great sized portions and fast service. A lot of reviewers seem to be confused about the delivery system, they deliver through DoorDash, not their own driver. So all the bad reviews complaining about delivery should really be directed towards DoorDash. Anyways, great place and lovely family owned business!“
