“I’ve been going here now for about 8 years and Passion Fin has the most remarkable sushi in the DMV. It’s definitely in my top 3 sushi restaurants in Maryland. I can tell the pandemic hit them hard and they now are closed on Mondays due to understaffing. Prices have been raised so I can only justify getting some during lunch happy hour which ends at 2:45. They have good Miso soups to go and they have mastered their packaging for carry-out. There’s a few tables outside where I often enjoy my food outside but whenever I’m there closer to 3pm the inside of the restaurant is barren.“

“Been coming to this place for a few years now and it's my go-to spot every weekend to get my Chinese food fix. Occasionally, the taste might be a bit off, but it's good most of the time. The servers are very nice and affordable price. The cafe is kind of small but I like the quaint atmosphere. Will continue to come.“

“The foods are tasty and great service I got when I went there. Highly recommended their chicken soup, one of the best I had. My family loves it. Their lamb pot is good too. Also I recommend the pig feet, very tender and good seasoning. Although there are many choices around the area, we enjoyed the food and definitely coming back to trying out some other dishes.“

“Food: 9.5 out of 10
Service: 4.5 out of 5
Atmosphere: 5 out of 5
Price/Value: 4.5 out of 5
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.7 out of 5
Recommendations: Truffle Shoyu, Triple Threat, Chicken Karage
This is probably the best ramen place I’ve been to in the U.S. The place is kind of small, but trust me the wait is worth it. They have truly incredible ramen that will make me miss them so much after I leave D.C. If you prefer lighter broth I recommend the truffle shoyu, if you prefer richer broth I recommend the triple threat. They are both so delicious. Every component of the ramen is perfect, and when they combine all you feel is happiness. The chicken karage is very good too, the portion is huge and it’s not that expensive. I’m so happy that I discovered this treasure place, and I will DEFINITELY visit again! Best food I’ve had in D.C.“

“We’ve ordered pho to go before and tonight we dined in and ordered rice platter and vermicelli. I’m pleased to say this is one of the very solid Asian restaurants I’ve ever been to. And definitely one of the top in DC. I highly recommend and this will be one of our regular restaurants to go to since we live close by.“

“The most affordable, fast and tasty lunch option in the area. It’s a family-owned spot with great lunch specials and options for vegetarians. Highly recommend. It’s more of a takeout spot, but they have a few seats if you need to eat lunch in house“

“For a fast food place it’s good. The price is perfect as it’s in an expensive location. I did the beef sandwich and the Sichuan noodles.
The beef sandwich needs more flavor. The beef isn’t seasoned enough but the texture is perfect. A bit of extra scallions or ones baked into the scallion pancake buns would be awesome.
The noddles are really good but have a weird after taste. Mouthwash will clear it up. They’re much better than I expected for the price.“

“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.“

“Despite the rumor that I heard about the Spot's food being not so good. I tried out this place because it was very eye-catching and I was surprised that it is a very good noodle soup. The both was light, not too fatty and the beef tripe was quite flavorful.“

“With the weather beginning to get colder - what better time to start exploring to find great Pho restaurants in the DMV.
My friend and I decided to try Pho House because of its very central location, and also because of its great reviews.
Overall, the food was delicious and the we were able to add extra meats and make substitutions to our orders which was great.
The broth that I had with my Pho was very well made. The flavours were substantive, as were the meats that were in the dish.“

The servers were so kind and welcoming. We order sushi and hibachi and I ordered a lychee martini. Everything came out amazing. My mother and I were so impressed we are planning our next visit“

“If you’re in search of authentic Thai cuisine, look no further than this hidden gem. Tucked away like a best-kept secret, this unassuming spot delivers food that is as delicious as its artful presentation. Each dish is meticulously crafted by the talented Thai chef/owner, whose passion for authentic flavors shines through every bite. The flavor reminded me of homemade food in Thailand.
The service is impeccable, adding to the experience, with the server/bartender who made as feel like valued guests in a cozy, bright and cheerful space. In a neighborhood increasingly filled with gentrified spots, this place is a refreshing reminder of what real, freshly made food should be. I wish I lived here just for the opportunity to dine at this incredible restaurant more often!“

“Had read some mixed reviews but we gave it a shot and we were greatly impressed! We called ahead for our party of 10 and they had our reservations ready and accommodated us nicely. The service was excellent and the food was fantastic. Our party ranged from age 14 to 55, some loved Thai and some had never tried it. There was something for everyone to enjoy on the menu. Plus, it was very reasonably priced. We had a large party and it didn't break the bank, as they say. Great food and comradery was had by all! I don't normally write reviews, but again, I was impressed. Definitely recommend!“

“Bandoola Bowl at Western Market, is a gem for quick and flavorful meals. I frequent the place whenever I run errands nearby and am always impressed. My go-to is the pork spicy noodle bowl, which never disappoints. The roasted pork pairs beautifully with fresh, crunchy cabbage, romaine, onions, tomatoes, red bell peppers, cilantro, and lime. The crispy garlic and fried shallots add a satisfying texture, and the sweet soya sauce ties everything together perfectly.
One of the standout features is the staff—they’re incredibly friendly, chatty in the best way, and always welcoming. They make sure to ask about spice preferences and potential food allergies, adjusting ingredients accordingly, which makes every visit personalized and thoughtful. The restaurant is also impeccably clean, and the service is quick and efficient, so I’m never waiting too long. If you’re looking for a delicious, fresh meal with great service, Bandoola Bowl is the perfect stop.“

“New Sushi/Ramen restaurant that my wife and I have been to at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks. The food and service is incredible and the prices are very reasonable. We love the fried tuna, avocado, and cream cheese roll, shoyu ramen, and their bento boxes. Everything we try tastes so fresh and flavorful! Can’t wait to keep sampling more of their menu.“

“Food was excellent and the space is really pretty! Great place for vegans. There aren't specifically vegan items but many menu items can be made vegan, just ask your server, ours was very knowledgeable and quick to check with the chef to make sure a dish could be made vegan. We had a great time and will definitely be back!“

“Came in on a hot day (July 2025). Loved the noodles, ease of ordering on the monitors and good seating to work thru lunch break. The customer service was 12 out of 10. All the workers were friendly and attentive. They greeted everyone, cleaned up after each guest, and asked every customer how they were doing and if they needed anything. Kudos to the ladies in the kitchen. I do think the AC is broken so it can’t be easy. There were also no bathrooms so I wasn’t able to wash my hands.“

“the food was so numbly addicting. do not underestimate the spice at this establishment. my family and i are huge spicy food enthusiasts and the food had our taste buds numb and had us sweating by the end of the meal, in the best way possible. highly recommend the wontons in chili oil, spicy beef noodle soup, lotus root side dish, the pork skewers.
the restaurant is order via QR code and on your phone. the white lights they use in the restaurant kinda made it feel like i was in a lab or medical office since it was so bright. every single table was filled up on the Friday evening with families waiting to be seated.“

“I have eaten here thrice before. with my colleagues. I ordered the basil fried rice with vegetable and chicken. It was bursting with fresh flavors and wonderfully intense spiciness. Everything is so clean, and the staff is friendly and efficient! We were the last ones to leave and never felt rushed or like we were being a nuisance to the staff. I had a third, wonderful experience and i highly recommend it!“

“Best pho around. I’ll start there!
Broth is flavorful and doesn’t just taste like water. Meat is fresh. (We always order the Tai #15) and bean sprouts, mint, jalapeño and lime are always fresh!
The water is not great so beware but if it has a lot of ice it helps lol. They do have other options to choose from as well. We normally get some soda.
The place is very out dated and kinda ran down. It is all men so you know they don’t care. There is a few guys that have been there FOREVER and are super nice. Some of them do not speak good English but they do understand.
Oh, they only take cash but if you do not have it there is a ATM at the laundry mat next door to get cash.
Weekends can be super packed as it’s a great hang over saver lol but durning the week it’s great!
Don’t judge a book by its cover! It’s really worth it!“

“The restaurant is nothing fancy but is one of my favorite rice noodles soup. So many different soup varieties but I love kimchi fatty beef and my partner always gets tomatoes 🍅😆 And if you like spicy, highly recommend the Spicy Beef Tripe Rice Noodles!
You can choose to cook yourself at the table which is what we did. It comes with all the sides that you would put in the noodles soup. It's so much more fun 😁 and the soup is very hot so don't worry the meat will cook just fine. Such flavorful soup and silky smooth rice noodles, it's the best in the winter time.“

“I’d been seeing rainbow soup dumplings and wanted to try them so decided to order from Dumpling District. They look slightly larger in photos than they are in real life.
There are 6 dumplings - pork, Mala (spicy pork), chicken, shrimp & zucchini, crab & pork & lastly a truffle with pork.
They were lukewarm. I tasted the shrimp, which was the green dumpling. It was my favorite out of all of the dumplings. It was a nice flavor. Next I tried the pork, which was good; then the chicken, which tasted okay. Next, I tried the crab & pork, which was a good tasting combo and then the spicy pork, which was the reddish color dumpling. Lastly, I tried the truffle pork, black dumpling. I was most looking forward to this as I love truffle, but this one was my least favorite. While it looked cool, the flavor wasn’t there.
Overall, I like the idea of pairing the dumplings together so that one can try various flavors at once. Aesthetically it looks like such a fun dish because it’s so colorful.
Now, I also ordered scallion pancake with beef. Normally, I wouldn’t order beef, but I’m oh so glad I did. It was delicious!! The scallion pancake w/ beef tasted flakey, flavorful and hearty. The beef was well seasoned and perfectly paired with the scallion pancake. Although it was a little oily, I would order the scallion pancake again and pair it with an Asian-inspired omelet made at home, it was that good.
I’m looking forward to dining in at Dumpling District. I’m happy to see that there are several throughout the DMV-area.“
