Great vibes, good drinks, and a good music playlist. Loved the variety of tables and bar seating.
Started with some beef noodles and dan dan noodles. Beef noodles were good. The dan dan were not as good as others I’ve had in the past. Also tried the chili wontons and triple delight potstickers. Both were great in their own way.
Also tried a few drinks including Shark’s Tooth, Tropical Itch, Sunakora, and the Tahitian Rum Punch. All solid tiki drinks!

My favorite chili wontons in the city. The crab fried rice is top tier as well. The drinks are creative and come in fun glasses.
They serve food late which is super helpful when your schedule is whack like mine.
Music is usually on point as well.
Only negative is the prices but that's DC for you.
If you haven't been, go!

Copycat is one of my DC go-tos! The food and drinks are always above par! I do wish they had a happy hour offering. Their drinks are all price at $18 which is good for DC, and the bourbon smash is a favorite! The atmosphere is top notch! Highly recommend!

Hands down my favorite bar and Asian restaurant in the entire city!! Their drinks are amazing and the bartenders are ACTUAL craft bartenders. The chili wontons are my ultimate comfort food. If this place ever closes, we’ll have to leave DC in protest. A MUST go to!

Food great. Took a star off because of the wait time. All in all it's one of my favorite places to show off in the neighborhood. Order the garlic pork belly dish. Chefs kiss!

I love copycat! Been there a couple times and the staff is always friendly and they make great drinks. This is a true cocktail bar, you can literally ask for any drink and they can make it. They also have a solid menu of rotating spotlight drinks which is a great way to try something new. Don't sleep on the food either my favorite thing is the chili wontons but anything you get will be good (especially the noodles).
$16 for the portion size if such a rip off. Also what is this noodle option. This does not seem like good Asian food.

Its been awhile since i have been out to a bar late at night because i have kids and a dadbod. That being said, this bar is amazing! Bartenders know their drinks and are a master of their craft. Small place but full of energy and great staff especially who were working tonight 8/8/2025. Highly recommend. Dont take my word or review. Go there yourself and find out. You wont be disappointed!!

Dry and overcooked lamb skewers, underwhelming service, crab fried rice was heavy on ginger and spice...had a good amount of crab, at least. I prefer their sister restaurant, Astoria.

You're paying for good vibes, delicious food, but small portions. We got the dan dan noodles and spicy wonton soup. Both were phenomenal and the Dan Dan was probably the best I ever had. That being said it was pretty pricey and the portion we got was pretty small. The dan dan noodles were $16 (2025) and came in an appetizer bowl. All of the cocktails are $18 regardless of whether you are getting an Old Fashioned or something more extravegant.

The chili wontons were packed with flavor, and the chicken skewers were juicy and well-seasoned. The highlight of the meal was definitely the green chili chicken — the combination of peppers and scallions gave it an extra kick that made it stand out. I gave 3 stars for atmosphere only because it was very busy and we had to sit outside on the patio, which was uncomfortably hot. That said, the food more than made up for it!
