“This is the best, well-priced Korean food in all of DC! It’s hard to drive out to the suburbs of MD and VA to get Korean food, so I’m so so glad Mana Dosirak exists! As a Korean-American who is picky about her food, this place is amazing. Will continue to support!I always get take-out as there is no room to dine-in.Looks like it is a family operation - they are always friendly and kind.Parking: Mana Dosirak has a free public parking lot. I believe it is shared with one or two other stores. I’ve never had an issue finding parking. It also seems like it would be easy to find street parking.“

There was spice!! The bread was a bit hard on the outside (think french bread presentation without french bread flavor or chew) and i requested extra mayo which must've been missed in the notes. Still satisfying.“

I’ve been coming here pretty regularly since they opened back in 2017, and it’s definitely one of my favorite spots in DC. My favorite dishes are the brisket and confit duck fried rice, but everything on the menu is fantastic. If you see something new (and you will), give it a shot because they definitely put a lot of creative energy and care into their dishes.Oh yeah, and their take out bags are adorbs.“

“Takorean was given a high endorsement from an associate of mine to try while in Washington DC. They were not wrong.Cleanliness. 4.5 of 5. The restaurant was well maintained and appeared very clean.Service: 3.5 of 5. Staff was professional but not talkative to the customers. A little more interaction would have been nice for a first trial run.Food quantity 5 of 5. I ordered the slaw bowl that had romaine slaw with some kimchi slaw. For the meat I had chicken. Additions were tomatoes, pickled daikon radish, and cilantro. A lot of food, left the restaurant full.Food quality 5 of 5. Every bite was full of flavor and pleasant. The aroma of the food matched the taste. Though late in the day when I solicited the restaurant, the food was still fresh, delicious, and delightful.Price: $$ 15-20 per person would be reasonable, I didn’t chose a lot of options that could increase one’s bill.Overall I would give this restaurant a 4.5 of 5“

“We wandered in here on a Wednesday just after noon. The pastry location looked open but no one was at the counter and bullfrog bagels looked closed. We were excited to find an El Salvadoran place inside. We're big pupusa fans and try them everywhere we go! We ordered 4 Revueltas (meat, black beans, and cheese). They were excellent! Made to order so they were very fresh, there was not more breading than filling (which is a common complaint I've found). The sauce complimented the pupusas well and we enjoyed every bite! 5 STAR PUPUSAS- just think it's important to note there weren't many options to shop from.“

“We had a great time at Iron Age. The staff are excellent and helpful! The marinated meats were fantastic.I only wish that they make two small changes:1) since certain meats on the menu need to be cooked on different surfaces, I would have liked to organize my servings by cook type to prevent waste, and time loss.2) the menu link from the QR code, is blurry when you try to read the meat descriptions (to see which ones are marinated or not)“

Massive portions that might justify the price, but if you aren’t a big eater it’s only a waste of the food that is left over.Just giving my honest feedback.“

“I think this is really a bar. We were looking for salmon in the area,(google) was offered this place. They had salmon but only bar food to go with it. The Salmon was poorly cooked and the waitress wasn't paying attention because my partner never got his Salmon(might have been a good thing cause it was poorly cooked)$80 for 1 piece of Salmon a basket of fries and 2 shots. Maybe they shouldn't open till 9p or 10 pm cause if you think you gonna get dinner you may get a surprise, I wonder why google offered this place as a dinner place maybe the restaurant pick the wrong label . idk“

“West wing Cafe has been a staple in my mornings the past week while working in DC. From a great drink selection to solid and hearty sausage egg & cheeses, this place has a lot to offer.The staff are nice and quick to take your order, which would be super helpful if they were packed, but unfortunately this somewhat newer place is not getting the traffic they deserve, which may be due to marketing, because the location could not be much better. Just off of Pennsylvania Avenue next to the Waldorf and a quarter mile from Smithsonian row, it's a great spot that many people walk by daily. It is a bit dark and signage isn't incredible as it took me 2 days to see it, but the second you take a bite you forget all that.Lunch selection looks tasty as hell, I think with some more business this place has a good shot of keeping open for a long time.“
