Noodles near Marlow Heights, MD

“The best ramen of my life!

I had to sign up and wait for about an hour, but it was absolutely worth it. While waiting, we grabbed a beer at one of the bars nearby, which made the time fly by.

We ordered the chicken karaage and the spice tonkotsu to share, and honestly, it was the best ramen in the world — the broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles perfectly cooked, and everything was beautifully balanced.

On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would come back a thousand times!“

“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.“

“We had the portobello bao bun, pork dumpling, bbq duck, and little pot. Everything was delicious!“

“Incredible food, vibrant atmosphere, the smell of succulent grilled meats and curries and lemongrass just stimulate your senses, and the warm, caring hospitality of the servers make for a memorable dining experience! We can’t wait to go back on a regular basis!“

“FOOD IS GREAT. We are coming from Pennsylvania and we love Vietnamese food so when we saw they had bahn mi, I knew I had to go. The pork was the most flavorful sandwich out of all of them and it was extremely delicious. We had the combo fried rice , it was a 10/10 and we are picky eaters. We also had the egg crepe which we did not care for at all so I would not recommend it . However , I never have mango sticky rice where I live so I decided to take advantage before I leave and it was soo good! Mangos were sweet. I’m definitely coming back here when I go on vacation. Their Thai teas were amazing . The owners and employees were so sweet.“

“I absolutely love Bonkers! I keep coming back for the cold noodles and wontons! I agree the Chinese burgers fall short of their potential but just get anything else on the menu! Very authentic feel and smell to a comparable spot in China. Definitely a place i could eat at everyday. Love that dc is finally getting authentic Chinese in Chinatown!“

“Above and beyond anything I've had food-wise in DC. First of all, the prices are incredible for the area and the portions are also solid. The beef rice bowls I are PERFECT. The vegetables are delicious, the meat is well-seasoned, the rice is cooked to perfection, and it has just the right amount of both sauce and spice. I'm also a bubble tea fiend and the matcha bubble tea is consistently tasty and mixed very well.
The staff I've spoken to are very personable and sweet, too. Service is incredibly efficient, but not so jarringly quick that it's clearly just taking stuff out of the back and throwing it into a bag. They take the time to prepare your food well. This little place is so, SO worth it.“

“We have eaten here several times as a family and it never gets old. My kids order the grilled chicken and broccoli which seems strange for kids to want but they truly do enjoy it. I order the pot stickers with my meal which are very good as well. You can't go wrong with what you order here because you can order it how you like it and they are very accommodating to your preferences. The service is always quick and they are always very kind. Definitely a good choice for lunch or dinner.“

“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.“

“We've been buying these dumplings from Costco for the past year and love them. We were so excited to find a storefront. The food was so good! We ordered the pork bao bun and the pork and chive dumplings. Prices were reasonable and the portions are perfect for sampling.“

“Very friendly and pleasant staff, always upbeat and welcoming. Have tried their noodles and brown rice with shrimp/tofu/chick pea curry, would definitely recommend the shrimp. The sauces are amazing, very healthy portion of vegetables and overall feel-good meal. Would definitely recommend. Would be great if they added some halal meat options.“

“Great service! Food came out piping hot in less than 10 minutes. I had veggie spring rolls and my son had the shrimp pho. Both were delicious although I personally could’ve used more flavor in the pho. Love the decor and was able to find street parking right out back. Mind you, it was the middle of the day on a Friday. Wasn’t too busy inside but the ambience and music was nice.“

“Phở ngon , thơm , giá công bằng👍“

“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!“

“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!“

“I love this place, it has a variety of healthy choices! Food comes out fast, not too crowded. My favorite dish is the Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi which also pairs well with their Parmesan Chicken. Reasonable prices especially for an area like Woodmore. If you download the app
You get points and can earn discounts for future orders! Absolutely recommend with love, Cecilia ❣️“

“Mae was amazing, first time coming in. Me and my boyfriend shared the chicken soup dumplings and crab Rangoon’s. I liked the dumplings my boyfriend liked the Rangoon’s. For entree we got the spicy miso soup with fried tofu and shrimp lo mein, incredible.
Friendly service, good recommendations, all around great hospitality. Not what you would expect from the shopping center. Will return!“

“Really cool experience! All the food is fresh and delicious! They have a wonderful array of options to make your Hibachi Bowl. I personally got a Pick 2 Combo with steak and shrimp and I loaded the bowl full of almost all their options. I brought the whole family and everybody was very happy! I would certainly recommend Sakura Go!“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“A favorite neighborhood spot“

“This place had been on my list for a while now and finally had the chance to dine in. The food was so flavorful and well cooked. The service was excellent. Will definitely return to try more different items. Good portion sizes too! The desserts looked amazing, I will certainly save room for a piece of cake next time.“

“Really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere and food quality are great; plus the customizable “create your own” options.Only caveat/downside is that the cost can add up really quickly with the DIY options. (My $8 Red Curry Noodles went up to $18 when I swapped tofu for Chicken and added shrimp).It still tasted really good, though. Next time I want to try one of their salads (they’re huge!!!). I would eat here over Noodles & Co.“

“I actually used Banana Blossom Bistro for catering a lunch event for about 40 people, and it was stellar. The service, the food, the presentation. Everyone at my event was talking about the food for hours afterwards. We got an assortment of banh mi and the cabbage salad. The pork banh mi was INCREDIBLE. Annie was kind and communicative throughout the whole process. I can't recommend them enough!“

“We have been loyal customers of Sam Phao Thai for years because they consistently serve the best Thai food in the Alexandria area. Our go-to dishes include the coconut shrimp, spring rolls, Panang curry, drunken noodles, and pineapple fried rice. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

One of the things we appreciated most was how well they handled special requests through delivery apps. This was especially important for us because my husband is allergic to shrimp, and his favorite dish—the pineapple fried rice—comes with shrimp by default. They always took the time to accommodate that, which made it easy and stress-free to order from them regularly.

Unfortunately, they recently stopped allowing special requests through delivery apps, which has made it harder for us to order safely. As a result, we’ve had to branch out and try other places.

We still love the food and hope they consider bringing back the option for special requests. It made a big difference for families like ours“

“I like this place. The noodles are solidly good. Zero complaints. The staff are generally nice, which is not always true of fast casual places. I've liked everything I've gotten there: pesto zoodles, pesto cavatappi, Japanese pan, pad thai, penne rosa, fresca, Mac. I was surprised by the fat content, but maybe that's why they're so good ? I even like that they have Izze drinks“

“The tasty food is one thing BUT one thing which stood out for me is their great customer service. Jane and her other colleague were all smiles, kind and attentive. You can tell they love the job that they do. This is the kind of service you wanna comeback for more. I also appreciate that they're wearing a transparent mouth shield as it looks more neat than a regular mask. They offer free soup and coffee on top of your regular order which is great since it's winter around this time. I hope they can be consistent with their business approach and I wish their new store a success!“

“I brought my friend who has lived in Thailand and she told me that their food is very authentic. I knew it was different from most of the Thai food I have tried in the past. You can just tell from the nuance taste. Only real locals can make that difference.“

“Food is nice 👍 and friendly staff as well no negative comments“

“Had the general tso’s chicken and my wife got the hunan chicken with lo mein. It was delicious! I’ve been looking for a simple neighborhood Chinese spot with classic dishes for years. Finally found my place, will definitely be coming back.“
