Noodles in Washington, DC

“Finally found decent Thai/Lao spot in DC! Red curry with pork belly, Papaya salad(can select Lao/Thai), and drunken noodle! Spicy information is right for American, not much spicy for me but it’s good.💋 open to revisit!“

“I came here when they first opened in 2020, and I came again recently (2026). The flavor and quality remains great, although the line these days is really long and their opening hours don't make it easy for those outside of DC to stop in for a taste. I would recommend coming to give this place a try if you haven't been before, but it's not really worth the 1-hour or more line for a second visit.

Also, for their vegetable-only toppings, the portobello slices are decent, but for $21 base price for a smaller, more shallow bowl of ramen I would love a serving of heartier, tastier grilled maitake or king oysters. But with the higher costs, taxes, and fees of operating in DC, I could understand how the economics of that might not work well.“

“The new space is super cute and the dumplings are just as tasty as ever! When we went, the vegetarians and meat-eaters in the group both loved "Livin' on the Vedge". Also super affordable and filling - 2 thumbs up!“

“After an extremely long day of traveling, I came here to grab some takeout for dinner. The owner/staff were so friendly and they prepared my meal right away! I ordered a chicken bento box with peach tea, which was delicious. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in DC!“

“A favorite neighborhood spot“

“Visited over the weekend, service was outstanding! They were so helpful and friendly, guiding us through ordering and making recommendations. The food was too-notch! Bright and refreshing, and with LOTS of flavor! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something fresh and new!“

“I am sure Korean food is the best when tasted in Korea. That's why I'm not a big fan of Korean restaurants abroad. However this one, Rice Bar in DC satisfied me for real. 다만 제 느낌에 1회용 숫가락이 좀더 크면 좋겠고 젓가락에 일본어 적힌 점이 아쉽.. 그래도 또 들리고 싶네요.“

“I ordered the Pho Tai, Gau... OMG so good. I ordered delivery and it was still fresh. There was no option on the third party app to request extra limes so I called to requests and the individual on the other end was extremely kind. Back to the food, it was GREAT as delivery... I can only imagine it is phenomenal as dine in and piping hot. Bravo.“

“The food is good, but I’m gonna have to remove stars because of the customer service. 😕 When I first entered, I wasn’t greeted. The associate just stared at me, as if to say “I don’t have all day. Are you gonna order anything?” She had the most stony expression… It was only my second time here, so I was quite sure I had not had any negative encounters with anyone. I was trying to get suggestions and ask questions about certain things, but every time I asked a question about something, the server just dumped it in the bowl. He never answered the question. When I got to the cashier, I apologized, because I wondered if I had done something wrong. But he just referred to me as “diva,” and tried to assure me that nothing was wrong. I told him I didn’t appreciate being called a diva. I just don’t like being treated like I’m a problem when I haven’t done anything. I gave two stars for service, because my first experience was so amazing! I don’t know what happened.“

“I’ll be honest, I came here a year ago when it was called Bonkers Chinese Burger and didn’t like it at all. Today, I went back curious that it’s under a new name Cinnara with a focus on broth and noodles.

I got the Braised Beef Noodle as others recommended. And wow!!!! It was some of the best beef noodle soup I’ve tasted. So so delicious.

This spot is worth it for the beef noodles alone. This will be one of my new lunch spots in Chinatown.“

“Super good experience! Friendly staff, great food, good portions! Highly recommend the crab rangoons- the most stuffed rangoons I’ve have in a while! The wonton they use is so thin as well, really accentuating the filling and making for a light and crispy bite! The pineapple fried rice is delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness. I got the veggie version- large portion and lots of veggies throughout! Will definitely be back!“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“I brought my friend who has lived in Thailand and she told me that their food is very authentic. I knew it was different from most of the Thai food I have tried in the past. You can just tell from the nuance taste. Only real locals can make that difference.“

“Ordered thru grub hub.Triple delight; two shrimp, lots of chicken and beef. Carrots, broccoli, cabbage, snow peas in brown sauce. Two egg rolls. Crispy shredded beef with vegetables. Yu ling duck with brown drippings. Food could have used more seasoning. I will reorder.“

“Located within L'Enfant Plaza sits this lovely Korean Bibimbap Noodles restaurant. 🍜 I frequent this one whenever I'm in town and it never disappoints. Fresh and satisfying each bowl, different combination. You are stuffed afterwards and the place isn't heavy in your pockets.“
