“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love the Tan Tan Men here — it’s so creamy, rich, and full of flavor. If you like spicy food, try the Gekikara Miso Men at the highest spice level, but be careful because it is really spicy!

The restaurant uses a self-pay machine at the entrance. You order and pay first, then take your number and choose a seat yourself. It’s simple and convenient.

The owner, Pason, is incredibly kind and welcoming. He’s Japanese, and his wife makes the noodles in-house, which makes the ramen even better. The noodles have a great texture and taste amazing.

To finish, I had the crème brûlée and a matcha oat milk drink — both were so rich and delicious.

I will definitely be back again!“

“I hadn't had a crepe since I was in Europe years ago and then a friend suggested we try this place at the Bethesda Farmers' Market. Never had a savory crepe before---only a sweet one. Got the Greek crepe and added olives---excellent! There was a 30-minut wait for our orders, so I'm glad we went here first, placed our orders, then walked around the market. There are a few tables with chairs under a tent where you can sit and eat until 12:45 or 1:00 or so. So glad we tried this place.“

“Over the past four years, I was a regular at Rock Cafe while working near by - going three to four times a week when working there. Across four years, this adds up to well over one hundred orders. Here is my thorough review on everything!

Service - a lot of us regulars would refer to the Cafe as 'Frank's', after the owner who is there with his team every day. Frank is a great man, who I have had the pleasure of getting to know very well. I would often times go over and he would immediately know my orders depending on the day of the week. Despite being a lean team they are fast and efficient, and if they do forget something are quick to fix it apologetically. During the school year they have dozens of students come between the hours of 11:15 and 11:45, but even then you'll get you food fast enough.

Ambiance - while a simple interior, there is still places to sit both inside and outside. I typically take the food back to my office space, but on a nice day there are worst corporate parks to sit at.

Food - as past reviewers have stated, there are lots of different specials depending on the day of the week. My go-to favorites are the following:

- Chana Masala on Mondays - an appropriate level of spice with tons of flavor. Comes with rice, naan and raita.
- Italian Coldcut on Tuesdays, which come with a side of chips. In general, I his sandwiches were my go-to when I couldn't make a decision
- Chicken Burrito Bowls on Wednesday - a much better value than places nearby and always filled me up. Probably my personal favorite. I would typically add hot sauce too.
- Butter Chicken w/ Naan and Rice on Thursdays - similar to the Chana in that it was very flavorful with a touch of spice, but nothing that should deter away those that aren't completely averse to it. Super popular - they typically sell out before one.
- For breakfast, his sandwiches are the best deal in the area! Fresh bagels and egg with your choice of meat and cheese. Highly, highly recommend!

In general, I also liked the paninis and his chicken quesadilla. I would occasionally get salads, although these were typically my least preferred option.

Overall - for great service and good food at some of the best prices in Montgomery County, you can't go wrong with Rock Cafe! I know they'll also take larger orders if you call ahead of time, so great for work/team events too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair acessable, on ground floor with openable doors.“

PS Dolmades are cooked fresh when you order and are hot which was me to me, but also spot on. A really good side if you like Dolmades.“

“Tried Kusshi in Bethesda recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere without feeling too loud or crowded, and the location in Woodmont Triangle makes it a nice spot for dinner before walking around downtown after. Sushi tasted fresh and presentation was really well done. You can tell they pay attention to quality instead of just rushing plates out.

We ordered a mix of rolls, appetizers, and drinks and honestly everything came out pretty quickly. The crispy rice and specialty rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering too much which I appreciated.

Prices are definitely on the higher side compared to casual sushi spots, but that’s kind of expected for the area and quality level. Overall a really solid place for date night, dinner with friends, or just when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale than average.“

“Let’s first talk about the playlist that I did a little shuffle, head nod to when I entered because it’s the perfect blend of old school pop! The hostess upon arrival sweetly greeted me and was very gracious. And the gentleman who was behind the bar. who I assume is the owner by his presentation, was very charismatic and provided warm hospitality. I found myself ordering more than my appetite could handle. This isnt my first rodeo show here, so speaks to the delish oven brick pizza paired with an Italian Red, Nero D’ Avila Tareni Doc, Sicily, IT. But, I completely forgot the quaint but charming vibe. Just come! You won’t be disappointed. (Only con is the dessert. The brownie was very dry and burnt but maybe it was a bad batch.) Thank me later! K. Bye.“

Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC Bar • $$

“My husband and I decided to stay here overnight during our drive home from a beach vacation. I am covered in mosquito bites and am just miserable. I couldn’t wait to take a shower. Well let me tell you, I have NEVER taken a shower as good as the shower I just took in this hotel. It scratched every mosquito bite on my body simultaneously and felt so amazing. The provided toiletries smell like I just stepped out of a spa. The towel was fluffy but not linty. The water pressure was immaculate. The temperature was consistent and easy to set to the perfect amount of hotness. And my skin doesn’t feel like it’s been stripped of all of its moisture like it does after a shower at most hotels. I will only stay at this chain from now on if they’re all like this. I need to know how to get this at home. I’m serious. Best shower of my life.“
