Awful. I got the Thai fried rice. The shrimp aren’t deveined and the chicken was dark meat and not fully done. disgusting to say the least. A waste of $16

So tasty, what a gem!! I ordered the CURRY LAKSA NOODLE Soup, pictured. It can be all plant based - I asked for mushrooms, spinach and broccoli to be added/substituted for the chicken, and with no hesitation they accommodated me! I'm so pleased with this Union Station fast casual option, located on the second level. If you take the stairs opposite the Amtrak ticket counter, you'll find it with big open air seating. This dish also includes tofu, vegetables, rice sticks & egg noodle combination in a coconut curry broth, with bean sprouts, fresh! green beans, and corn. Amazing, and spicy warm. They have non spicy foods, too. I'll upload the current menu.

I love East Street Cafe. Their food, especially the curry shrimp fried rice is excellent! They are always busy during lunch time but their service is prompt and friendly.I always look forward to visiting whenever I am back in DC. And I must say that the quality of their food has remained unchanged over many years.

Superb Vacations

Can't speak for all the food, but the pork tonkatsu was not very good. The gyoza was burnt. Service was good. You're better off going to the food court below for food.Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator located through UNO pizzeria

What a lovely surprise it was, here at the top floor of Union Station. Fair prices, professional and quick service, and great, real food. The best food option in the station.

I've been coming here for a while and I've always had wonderful service and good food. They have also been very kind with making adjustments to the dishes, just ask! It's a good spot to grab a bite before you have to jump on the train! I enjoyed the tofu dish and added some extra veggies and they gave me rice instead of serving with noodles.

Suffice it to say, they have 4.1 stars on Google, survived the pandemic and I keep going back. The noodle dishes are good. If an unrushed lunch at union station makes sense, it's a mid priced sit down eatery that's a good place to talk over lunch

I was first skeptical when deciding whether to east at this place - all the fast eateries are in the lower level of the Union Station and this is the only place in the upper level. It seems like a sit-down restaurant but I worried that it will be just slower not necessarily nicer... I finally decided to order takeouts for myself and my colleagues here because I saw it's menu - it's not just Chinese but collectively Asian with many choices from Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Filipinos, etc. It was actually very fast to get our food and the Filipino BBQ chicken I had was pretty decent with a large portion of meat, and vegetables plus fried rice. The price ($16) is pretty reasonable too nowadays for a nice lunch box.
