I went to this place because it was nearby where I was and the fusion was interesting. The girl who helped us was so nice! We told her it was our first time there and she proactively gave us some suggestions. We got the avocado chicken bowl and it was delicious and healthy. Full of flavor. We tried the aguas frescas they had there and they were very good too. I would definitely recommend this place.

Our Office had this catered today and im obsessed. I built a bowl with white rice and romaine, tried both the chicken and tofu. The sauce the tofu is cooked in was divine I spooned it over the whole bowl. There were tortilla chip bags - im assuming those came from the store too - I crushed them over it and it was great juxtaposition im texture with the softer ingredients that are so well made. I also had the broccoli and kimchi in my bowl. 10/10!!!!

I discovered them when I used to work nearby. I love to get the bowl with white rice, romaine slaw and bulgogi beef. Very tasty and look forward to going back when I'm in the area.

Ordered the bowl with brown rice and pickled cabbage/kimchi and steak. Also ended up going for a pulled pork taco to give one of those a try.

Overall I would give this meal a 4.5/5
Inside decore was nice. The best part was the staff, the guy behind the counter was more than helpful as this was my first time and did not know what all I wanted. Went with a Sriracha sauce, lime crema, with some cilantro, sesame seeds, and added for .75 some pico de Gallo.
For the taco went with the pulled pork and all of his recommendations. Taco was good but a bit on the greasy side, but not to terribly bad. The bowl was good but honestly I think I will go with the chicken next time to give that a try.

Staff - great
Food - good (except the pork being a tad greasy)
Atmosphere - relaxing modern

Would I return? Yes this seems like a good place to grab a quick bite to eat that fills you up.

Probably one of my go to places in Navy Yard for a tasty fulfilling lunch/dinner bowl. I usually order a bowl with White Rice (Brown Rice if I’m feeling healthy), Spiced Kale, Bulgogi Steak, extra Lime Creama, Cilantro, extra Crunchy Shallots, and GuaKamole ($2 extra). The staff is always super sweet and generous with the potions. The indoor seating and kitchen/ordered is always clean but I prefer the outdoor seating on a nice day outside.

The food quality has change drastically and the service worker are rude and are not attentive to customer's order. Twice I went and got served the wrong slaw. Not everyone can eat Kim Chi slaw. I didn't request but got it each time. I requested for regular slaw. I don't think the lady understood the difference. Takorean management, please train your workers better. My lunch is ruined. The atmosphere was amazing though

I went on yesterday, I cannot give five stars due to the customer service, it could’ve been 10x’s better definitely because there was no crowd. Other than that the food was delicious 🤤

Ordered a Bowl with half steak and chicken.

I wish they had noodles to go with the meal like some other local options.

It was good except for the salad portion which I did not like as much (-1 star).

Overall, great taco offerings. However, the guacamole is horrid, and surprisingly, they provide no salt to overcome the incredibly bland (saltless, lemonless, limeless) "flavor."

UPDATE: I do appreciate, however, that management was quick to reach out and rectify the situation. Couldn't ask for better customer service!

Perfect spot for a quick healthy lunch. Was in the navy yard for a few days and went here a few times. Very consistent and quick.

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
