“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“Delicious fresh food, beautiful presentation. Wonderful attentive staff, highly recommend. We will definitely return to enjoy an evening with music of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you very much.“

“The staff was great. our waiter, Alfredo was outstanding. The food was so delicious, great atmosphere and child friendly. Changes were taken care of immediately if needed. I most definitely recommend this restaurant and will visit this restaurant again.“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“My family dined here on Saturday lunch. It was difficult to find parking spot so we called the restaurant. You have to park at a garage across the street, and the restaurant will validate the ticket.

My family ordered donkotsu shio, donkotsu miso, and grilled hamachi. Ramen are just ok. I would not order ramen again if I go back here. There’s nothing really special about it. Grilled Hamachi was super soft, juicy, and not salty - exactly what I was looking for my young children.

Servers weren’t that friendly and there were only two servers. They were so busy to check on us. I waited like a meerkat for good 10 mins to ask for a check because I couldn’t get their attentions.

Overall, decent japanese restaurant but I am not sure if I would go back unless I am in the area.“

“The night before the Marine Corps Marathon, we celebrated our anniversary dinner with family and relatives at Satay Club, a cozy Malaysian restaurant tucked in the heart of Washington DC. I’m always on the lookout for authentic flavors — and this place truly impressed us with every bite.

We started our feast with their signature Satay — both chicken and lamb. Perfectly grilled with smoky charred edges, the skewers were tender and flavorful, complemented beautifully by the rich, nutty peanut sauce. It felt like a taste of Kuala Lumpur in DC!

Next came the salted fish fried rice, aromatic and full of wok hei (that irresistible smoky aroma). The balance of savory salted fish, soft egg, and crisp vegetables made it comfort food at its best. The calamari dish was crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with colorful bell peppers and crunchy shallots — a delightful mix of texture and spice.

We also loved the tofu and eggplant stir-fry, which came in a deliciously savory sauce — rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying. To end the evening, we indulged in ice chendol and fried banana, a sweet and refreshing finish that brought nostalgic memories of Southeast Asia.

Satay Club is a gem — family-run, warm, and truly authentic. A perfect place for Malaysian food lovers and a wonderful way to celebrate before marathon day! 🇲🇾🍢🍚💛“

“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!“

“Wow, where to begin. The food- excellent. We got the dim sum and every dish was ‘wow’ worthy. It was one of those meals where you’re just talking about the food because it was so unique, delicious and well crafted. I highly recommend the duck tacos and the beignets. The service- amazing. I didn’t catch her name, but the waitress was kind, attentive, and made me feel like I was eating at someone’s house rather than a restaurant. Real auntie energy and she had great recommendations. The atmosphere- so unique, clean, well lit, eclectic, homey, full of character. The ONLY thing this place was missing is an aquarium and a disco ball.

This is the kind of place you can being your best friend, your mom, your boss- and everyone will have a good time and great food. Please go support this amazing restaurant and staff.“

“incredibly delicious pho! I've been living in the US for 2 years, and only now have I eaten real and delicious pho! I've tried it in different cities, but this is the best. The most authentic, rich broth, elastic noodles. I recommend it to everyone!“

“Kanpai Korean BBQ is truly impressive! The restaurant is spotless, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always checking in on the tables. The food is fresh, high-quality, and delicious. Their buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, and the price is very reasonable considering you can enjoy unlimited barbecue, hot pot, and drinks, along with as much as you’d like from the buffet.

One of the best parts is the ordering system—you don’t have to wait for a server. You can place your order online whenever you’re ready, and within minutes, a robot delivers everything straight to your table. My husband and I had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back!“

“One of my favorite dinners since moving to DC, the jaew bong wings (crispy, fried to perfection, just a little too sweet) or red curry (rich, tender brisket) were my favorite. We also got the tapioca pearl dumplings which were not my favorite due to their texture, but overall everything was delicious. Loved the vibe in there too.“

“This place is perfect for people with a gluten free diet. The sweet potato noodle bowls are delicious every time. My partner and I are visibly lgbt, and we really appreciate how queer friendly this place has consistently been. Special shoutout to Ana for being awesome!“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“I had a delicious lunch at Eerkin's in Rockville today. My friend and I shared an eggplant salad, an order of manta dumplings stuffed with pumpkin, and an order of fried noodles with chicken. Everything was delicious. The portions were very generous. We enjoyed making our choice from the tea bar--one serving with a complimentary refill was plenty for two people. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking is convenient and free for the first two hours. Looking forward to a return trip!“

“This is probably mine and the families favorite hot pot to go to in this area. The food is absolutely delicious, it’s nice that the vegetables are a buffet style where you can get them at your own pace. The quality is great and so is the service! If you’re into hot pot and in the area this place is an absolute must!!“

“First time and I'll be back 😋“

“The food is always excellent“

“Kata DID NOT disappoint!

I did not make a reservation but was pleasantly greeted and immediately seated by Haywood. He was extremely welcoming and made me feel like a regular, although it was my first visit.

I sat at the bar and Anabel & Facundo were
friendly, energetic, and very attentive. I enjoyed conversation and did not feel awkward at all being a solo diner. Anabel prepared my cocktail beautifully and made sure it was picture ready!

Food was delicious! I had the beef dumpling, the filet mignon, and cheesecake. Temperature was good, wait was not long, and presentation was beautiful.

I can’t wait to come back and experience the live entertainment with my Besties!“

“Moh Moh licious is a bit of hidden treasure. The Moh mohs (Nepalese dumplings) are ridiculously good. Every time I order i tell myself I'll try more things and then get the same delicious dumplings and I'm happy. The C Momo (if you want some heat), Kothey Momo (if you want to control the sauce options), and Jhol Momo are my go to orders. Order more than you want because they are fantastic as leftovers. If this restaurant was further south on Georgia Ave there would lines out of the door.“

“My experience is that I live in Georgia but my house bound brother lives in DC he needs to eat and this restaurant that is just around the corner from his apartment and I have never had any problems or issues ordering and having his food delivered to his door.“

“Had the deluxe sashimi. While I’m not a fan of white tuna, I get why it’s included. The hamachi was really good, melt in your mouth. As was the rest of the sashimi. I liked how seaweed salad was used as a bed for one of the fish. And need that miso soup for the probiotic and comfort on a cold fall evening.“

“Food is great, but the Thai tea is NOT a normal thai tea. They use a powder instead of actual thai tea and milk. So it has a totally different flavor. Only reason I’m still leaving a good review is because they were very kind and willing to give a refund or exchange the drink for something else. 🙏🏽👍🏽 We exchanged it for a mango slushie and although it was equally as gross tasting (mega artificial flavoring) the customer service was great.“

“$2 Crazy Hour is absolutely insane! They have a great selection of sushi and various appetizers. The sushi is the same high quality as their dinner service ,the fish pieces are huge and incredibly fresh. The alcohol are 50% off, and the selection is massive,they're not stingy like other places that only offer one or two brands. It's a super friendly restaurant, and you absolutely cannot find a better deal in town!“

“When the quality of food of some Pinoy restaurants have faltered or deteriorated through time after a big bang opening or having a change of hands from previous owners, Matthew's Grill has maintained a high quality of sumptuous entrées and desserts having reasonable prices and amiable service a throughout the years even pre covid. It is worth every trip from Virginia to Matthew's Grill. Carry on Raymond and crew!“

“Yes, this restaurant is highly recommended for a casual dining experience.“

“Not only is every dish delicious, but the service at Isshin is so warm, so welcome and so lovely. Secret menu item is the handmade dumplings (they have two types so ask for these specifically). Their miso soup is very rich but not overly salty, which can be difficult to find, yet it is here daily and for a good price. I’m particularly in love with their udon noddles, which I get vegetarian with tofu, and the veggies are perfectly crisp. Their sushi rolls are fresh and I never get the seaweed burps. They know us when we walk in and make my wife and I feel like family. Become a regular, it’s worth it.“

“I was scared to try this place because the Yelp reviews are not that great, but I’m so glad I did! I decided to go with their most popular items first to be safe, great experience so I will try a few other items next time.

10/10 Fried Chicken & Shrimp Fried Rice
9/10 Steamed Triple Delight: fresh broccoli, mushrooms, onions & carrots, large shrimp (not those tiny popcorn shrimp lol), tender chicken & beef w/ a brown sauce. I would just like more garlic and flavor in the brown sauce, but it was still tasty mmm will order again! I just added my own minced garlic and a little salt at home.“

“Food was soo good!!! I heard about BIBIBOP before I landed in DC. ITS REALLY GOOD #truth“

“Good food, friendly servers.“

“Great place! Super friendly, thoughtful and accomodating guy. Good, fresh food. To go bag always has cutlery, napkins, fortune cookies, sauces, and a lil bonus (last time it was an apple)! Cute little table to wait, food made quickly.Great fried rice, shrimp, spring rolls. Lo mein kinda bland.“

“Small and cozy setting food was great. The only issue is limited parking in the area.“

“This is a tucked away gem. Get the Shanghai rolls with a side of white rice and it’ll change your life. The Manila BBQ (chicken or pork) has a deliciously unique flavor and epic char. Pickled and steamed veggies are perfect too. I love this place, it has the nicest staff and is the last remaining soul of Union Station❤️“

“Khin’s Sushi gets my vote for tasty sushi at reasonable prices. Khin’s is in an odd space. They share their small and minimal dining area with a pizza place. Khin’s also sells gelato. It’s a weird one-stop-shop for all things lunch. But I digress. We tried a variety of basic sushi like their California roll. It was all good. The rolls were not huge. But we enjoyed them. The service is a bit gruff. And the ambiance is pure 80’s fast food. But forget about all of that. Go in, grab some sushi while your spouse/partner/friend grabs a slice. And enjoy a good meal together. We will return.“

“I went at noon and it was not crowded at all, and it was quiet, a big bonus for me these days. No loud music and people shouting in order to converse over it. The food was very good, very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for Asian fusion cuisine and sushi.“

“I just really enjoy everything on their menu. Today I tried the wings, it was moist on the inside and just the perfect crunched on the outside. Drizzled with calamansi sauce ... i'm drooling thinking about it. Stop by and try their loco moco, lumpia, or a vegetarian dish!“

“My normal range of test Asian food is hot and sour soup, dumplings, and Singapore noodles. When I saw the Spring Garden menu, though, I knew I had to change things up a little. I went with the Tom Yum soup, which might be the best Tom Yum I've had. The broth was lovely and the ingredients tasted fresh. There was even plenty of shrimp in there - nice big shrimps, too. There was a little spice to excite my tongue and, while I certainly could've had it spicier, most folks who look like me would've probably been sweating.

The Singapore Noodles come with choice of protein or combination, so I chose the latter (extra spicy.) Again, more than satisfactory! Hot, fresh, and tasty. Not dried out as though food had died in the pass. Overall, a great experience!“

“Cafe Trung Nguyen truly impressed us with their mouthwatering pork and chicken grilled skewers at our company meeting! The flavors were so irresistible that not a single skewer remained. The owner and staff exhibited exceptional reliability and efficiency in fulfilling our catering needs. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to savor their authentic cuisine firsthand!“

“the food is very good, delicious, and the attention admirable, super fast and friendly. I recommend 100%.it's my favorite restaurant.“

“Had my dinner there. The Asian cuisine is yummy and the prices are reasonable. Friendly , helpful and attentive staffs. Clean n cosy ambience. If you are yearning for Asian cuisine while there, seek out for Banana Leaves Asian Restaurant ! Bon Appetit! 😋😋😋👍👍👍🍻🥂🍷“

“Cool little spot. Great service and very fresh tasting food.“

“Well. Be careful. They've started charging an extra dollar for answering the phone. Ive stood by them after food poisoning, multiple incorrect orders, and lack of ny concept of customer service. With this newest scam, I'm done. You should be too!°°“

“Great food, best of all is that they can make a lot of things on the menu gluten free which is awesome! I usually get pepper steak and fried rice! Very delicious and good portions. Their sushi is really good too!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free - Wheat free“

“Customer service is nothing amazing but the food is good. I usually get take out. They have Chinese and other Asian dishes but I usually get sushi. Can’t go wrong with the Flaming lips and the coconut shrimp specialty rolls, but the others are good too.“

“My favorite part about this experience was the karaoke had every song you could imagine, the rooms were sizable, and the drinks were relatively affordable we had a group of perhaps 12 and the room was able to be split amongst all of us. Reserve in advance!“

“The Lady is mean not the daughter but the mom, I don't what's wrong with her she always grumpy at me and the rice they don't mixed well when is fried rice you can see lot of white rice spot because they don't mixed well, I like the food but because of her attitude my head hurts alot when I go there ,that's right I don't buy often is really rare that I order food from there, she needs to change her attitude to get more customers.“
