Restaurants near Chillum

“This has been my go to spot for over 35 years. The staff is amazing and knows the regulars. Shout out to Sri Lanka (he knows who he is) for always providing the best service I could ask for, as well as everyone else.”

“había ido antes a comer y no me gustó, pero ahora ya cambio totalmente la comida está bien preparada y muy bien servida el restaurante está más agradable y el servicio también, muchas felicidades!”

“We ordered a bluey cake for our son bday 2 days before the party and not only did they do an amazing job on the cake but they finished it in a timely matter. 10/10 I would definitely recommend this location. The cake was huge, tasted delicious, and the price was reasonable. Everyone asked me where I got the cake from.”

“I felt like some Dominican food specifically, chicharron de pollo (fried chicken) and tostones (fried plantains). The food was delicious and plentiful. It's in a strip mall and has an adjoining lounge which may double as a dance floor.”

“Servicio completo y profesional! Comida riquísima! Bebidas frias! Q mas se puede esperar mas cuando uno viene de visita desde New York!”

“Sopa de gallina muy buena Lomo saltado”

“Absolutely the BEST!!! Higly recommendable”

“I will say my first visit was decent with Kia and her service skills are absolutely fun while being helpful. I did not get the round ball that I ordered but I came out with a lot of food and drinks. However the LARGE Oxtails was very lacking on amount vs the price point and plantain is a separate purchase instead of a few pieces on the meal. The Akee and Saltfish had 2 or 3 dumpling underneath so very little ackee and Saltfish for that price. The Jerk Mac and cheese was on the almost stale side. I wasn't fond of their brand of Sorrel as it had a weird after taste. Didn't like either the fruit nor the other rum cake but those are not their fault as they are prepackaged options. The gentleman there was helpful in packing my huge order but sadly I won't be returning. Money spent there vs value was very lacking.

Parking: Decent amount of parking shared with other businesses in the strip shopping center”

“Great bang for your buck. I recommend the teriyaki chicken and shrimp, but I do not recommend the spicy Korean pork. The fried rice is super good, I have ordered just that for a meal and been satisfied.”

“Been eating here a few years now atleast once a week I always get the half chicken it never disappoints they have some of the best coleslaw I have ever tasted not to mention the yellow sauce omg so good . They have a drive thru which is a bonus for me



Parking: Plenty of parking”

“The environment is great, the menu is very diverse, and seemingly commonplace dishes manage to be innovative in flavor”

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend”

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten”

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!”

“Must have the Mochi fantastic”

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.”

“Albi (Arabic for 'my heart') is one of the most high-octane dining experiences in D.C. The air smells of wood smoke and sumac, and the energy is kinetic. While it’s a Michelin-starred destination, it manages to feel like a lively, loud Arabic household where hospitality is the primary language.

• The 'Sofra' Experience: While the à la carte menu is great, the 'Sofra' is the specialist move. It’s a spontaneous, multi-course journey through the kitchen’s best seasonal plays. It’s a lot of food, so come hungry and ready for a family-style feast.

• The Hearth Table Secret: For the ultimate insider experience, book the Hearth Table. It’s a front-row seat to the literal fire. You sit steps away from the wood-burning hearth that anchors the kitchen. It’s an immersive, chef-curated look at the craft that most diners only see from across the room.

• Signature Orders: The Mushroom Hummus with 'pita balloons' (the fluffiest, steam-filled bread you'll ever see) is mandatory. Follow it with the Barbecue Lamb or the Sfeeha (meat pies). For dessert, the Brown Butter Knafeh with yogurt ice cream is a marvel of salt, sweet, and texture.”

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.”

“I've been here 3 times and this place is probably my current favorite bar in the city. The drinks, the food, the vibes, and the service are all impeccable. I keep bringing out of towners and everyone loves it.

I've had pretty much every drink and food item on the menu and they're each unique and worth trying. I particularly like the elevated papusas and michelada feels fancy yet somehow still authentic. However, the Ni de Aqui Ni de Alla drink perfectly summarizes the place and fits well with their current Top 50 Latin playlist in the background. You don't often hear Bad Bunny, Ozuna, and the latest Shakira in high-end cocktail bars. While anyone can feel at home here, it's a particular joy to those who've lived in Latin America.

Note that it's generally reservation only and quite intimate with just a bar area downstairs and about 3 small tables upstairs.”

“Fun night for two out of towners! Food was amazing and the staff were incredibly friendly, even though we’re two or three times their ages and not cool at all! ;)”

“We had a fantastic time here. It’s a Vietnamese fusion restaurant, and every dish we ordered was excellent. The cornbread, snapper, prawn, rice cake, and curry all stood out — rich, layered flavors with great textures. Each dish feels thoughtfully designed, well balanced, and even a little surprising in a good way.

We ordered three desserts and they were all amazing and very unique. Definitely try the seaweed and durian desserts — you won’t regret it.

They also offer some very creative cocktails, though to be honest, we didn’t really enjoy the ones we ordered.”

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!”

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!”

“We love coming to Opal for the amazing food, libations and attentive staff. Recently I booked a company dinner with them and the food selections and service were impeccable, as always! Everyone enjoyed having the upstairs for our event and are looking forward to hosting another event with you soon!”

“Have eaten here 4 of 5 days visiting DC. Fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend!”

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!”

“Sushi Taro used to be considered one of the top Japanese restaurants in the city, but it is not surprising they no longer are on the Michelin guide in 2025. The table service was good, but the rest of the service was mediocre. The food itself does feel overpriced for the quality, only a few select items were notable. Really not a destination for sushi or sashimi. Nothing they are doing terribly wrong per se, just nothing to write home about.”

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone”

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!”

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!”
