Genuinely blown away. Don't get me wrong I love all food, but I wouldn't say I'm easily impressed since most restaurants are just decent but this was truly great food and the service was phenomenal. You can really tell a lot of time and thought is put into each dish. We will be back!!!

They add an extra hidden service charge to your bill. You need to ask for it to be removed.

Other than that the food was good and the service was good. I want to try their other foods, but I don't appreciate the restaurant adding extra costs and then asking us to tip on top of that. The restaurant should be the ones to pay their wait staff fairly.

Terrific atmosphere. The menu has a variety of options which made it hard to choose! I really liked the flavors of the Filipino Fried Chicken I ordered, though the meat itself was a bit tough. Loved the mint limonana. The servers were friendly. I liked this place and would recommend it.

Highly recommend Immigrant Food! They have catered our office events with delicious lunch bowls, and they have a different dinner menu that is just as good and slightly elevated. I also appreciate that they have plenty of yummy vegan and vegetarian options. Indeed, the food is superb as is the atmosphere, and I love its mission (that immigrants make America great), but most of all, I had one of the most incredible customer service experiences this week. Long story, short: Alex, the manager, helped us SO much! He went above and beyond to help us with a fairly large (10-person) lunch food order. It was an hour or so of incredible humanity. Alex is a true leader and is helpful, humble, conscientious - the consummate professional - and so respectful of his team (shout out to the entire kitchen staff and Israel, too)! Trust me: this is the type of business you want to support.

Food was okay. Portions were small for the $10 appetizers and 20 meals. Nothing spectacular. Service was really good. Coconut rum cocktail was okay. 3 cocktail tester spring cocktails were not made well. Lomo saltado and pupusa was alright. Ceviche was pretty good.5% wellness automatic charge.

Overall, nice idea to have variety in flavor and cuisine, but none of the dishes were memorable and dishes were quite expensive for the size and quality.

Mediocre menu and food. You can get much better muhammara at a Turkish restaurant and much better Lomo Saltado at many Peruvian restaurants.

The Havana Sandwich really is the
Best Cuban sandwich in town”! 3 types of pork with melted Swiss. 🤤I did without the pineapple pickles and had Belgian fries vs a salad. So delicious! 😋 Very happy I was able to eat here and my experience matched all the raving reviews.

Cocktails were awesome. We got several shareable plates so we could try food from different parts of the world. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent. Highly recommend!

I always love coming here when in DC. They have so many good things rotating through on the menu along with cherry service.

I’ve passed this place a lot and never went in. It’s a little stuffy in my opinion but the drinks make up for it. They have unique takes on some good drinks. I didn’t have a chance to try the food but will certainly have to go back to it. Lunch can be very busy which isn’t a surprise since Franklin Park definitely wants for more. Dinner is a little quieter.

Exceptional food, exceptional service, exceptional management. Top to bottom, a must try. To paraphrase the Broadway show, Hamilton: They get the job done.
