Terrible! I should have known better, when I was walking in the only customer was going out and he said staff was terrible, HE WAS RIGHT!

Walked in at 3:25 staff was ignoring me and was packing everything up (closes at 4pm) I asked what time it closed they said 3:25 current time.

They were more interested in leaving early, don't walk here from the sites.

Great value. Good quick food. Huge variety. It’s very unfortunate it’s all plastic and paper throwaway plates utensils etc. But that’s only downside

This is a buffet where you pay per pound. They have a great variety of food. It was great for us because our grandkids picked what they would eat. Would highly recommend!!

The food was good and then had a great variety. The layout is very confusing. I had a terrible time finding a tray. Most cafeteria has a layout where 1) you get a tray, 2) select your food, 3) get eating utensils , and 4) pay. A very logical and sequential order. Not here.

I just finished my meal. The staff were friendly, and everything was delicious. The fried rice, in particular, was excellent.

I stop by occasionally, but I plan to visit more often!

There doesn’t seem to be a better value for the price in DC.

We got there when the deli area was closed, but the little buffet was still really good and very reasonably priced.

Not many food options in super close proximity so this is certainly welcomed. Situated approximately 7 blocks from Farragut West metro station, this establishment offers ample indoor and outdoor seating. Patrons are able to choose from a buffet or menu selection. While I’ve frequented several times for breakfast, my colleagues rave about their lunch options. Breakfast buffet is good. They tend to not have the he full spread available until around 8am, and even then the fruit is usually unavailable. Food is decent for a buffet (not a fan of buffets but since I’m among the first to grab my food I can dismiss the thought of all the germs). They also offer a variety of beverages, pastries and snacks. Service is decent. English is second language for most of the staff so it can get a bit interesting at times.

Insane value for quality food in downtown DC. Would have gladly paid $12+ for each menu item I tried and they were ballpark $9 a piece, which seemed crazy for the location. Can not overstate how good it was, even without considering the price. Quick trip from the National Mall.

Went for breakfast on a Thursday morning.

Ordering : It is not organized. They take orders in by the register and by the counter.

Food: Great selection. I got sausage bacon egg and cheese on an English muffin, and it was delicious. Kind of expensive. Note, they are temporarily charging an extra $1 for orders with egg
