“Ambar's newest location does not disappoint. If you know Ambar, it goes without saying the food is amazing. new offerings on the menu gave me some new favorites to add to my already long list. New cocktails for a new address, yes and thank you! The design esthetic is light and refreshing...And the 2nd floor ceiling is an instagram dream. Easily 5 stars.“
“My husband and I went here and were seated right away. The service was excellent the entire visit. We wanted to try as many things as possible so we ordered from their pre fixed menu option. Our table was pretty small So the table got really crowded fast! Food was pretty good, the fried fish was surprisingly my favorite. Meal ended with a dessert too. Nice touch. We will definitely be going back and requesting a booth instead of the table because we rarely order one or two items.“
“Mike provided incredible service. His dedication to providing excellence was clear from the moment we entered the door through to leaving. He managed to anticipate the needs of everyone who walked in and proactively addressed them. He made each customer feel like there was a personal connection. This was more than just a great customized salad but an incredibly enjoyable experience thanks to his engaging personality.“
“On our way home from visiting Wash DC, we stopped at this place for dinner. It was conveniently located right off the BW Parkway (I-295), in Bladensburg. The restaurant is located at an intersection, in a small old building. It looked like a converted gas station. The parking lot is very small, maybe 10-12 spaces. Inside, the dinning room is also small with limited seating. People that came in after us had to wait for a table. The menu is very simple. The only appetizer was cha gio or egg roll. The entrees included pho, bun Bo hue, and 2 rice dishes (chicken or pork chop). The pho came in 3 sizes: children, small, and large. I got a large #5 pho tai nam. Both my wife and daughter got the bun Bo hue. The food came out hot after a short 5 minute wait. Both noodle soups came with a good amount of noodles and meat. Both broths were flavorful and authentic tasting. My wife was impressed with their bun Bo hue, noting that it was better than her own homemade version ( which I never heard her say before). We left this place happy and full.“
“The chicken Khao Soi was delicious and easily the star of their menu. Staff were super understanding of my family being in a rush and made sure to get us everything we needed in a very timely manner. The restaurant itself is cute and a very cozy spot for lunch in dupont.“
“Yia Yia's is a true gem, a short distance away from College Park. I always go here when I'm in the area and it never fails. Large portions, fresh and delicious food. Their big fat gyro and their spanakopita are awesome and I definitely recommend this place.“
“Discovered this gem while searching for pho, and I'm amazed I hadn't noticed it before. The pho was fresh and flavorful, especially enjoyed the veggie option. The ambiance was relaxed, with enjoyable background music. It's clearly popular, as several guests arrived shortly after me. While I didn't have a drink, it appears they offer a selection of beer and wine only. The spacious layout makes it ideal for groups.“
“Stopped in on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. We ordered chicken flautas and a quesabirria. The food was incredibly delicious and now I have three flautas left for lunch tomorrow. Looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!“
“Dumpling District is in the back of Luna Food Hall. It's a cozy spot with tables and couches. There's also bubble tea, ice cream, and a bar here to go along with your meal. They made the dumplings fresh in front of us and they were amazing. The one thing I didn't like was the stir-fry noodles because it didn't have much flavor. Definitely come here for a fresh and tasty soup dumpling!“
“Funny enough, this place was mentioned in a Reddit thread for hidden gems in DC. The food was highly praised, and the original poster gave a special shout out to the website (I highly recommend checking it out; it’s seriously a delight).This was enough for me to check it out for myself, and it was absolutely fantastic. Super reasonable prices, the girl who made my food was so sweet, and everything I had was delicious. I got a pork belly bahn mi and chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce.Solid food, solid experience ?“
“My boyfriend and I have become regulars at Pho 72! All the dishes we've tried have been consistently very good (the pho broth is amazing — I usually get the Pho Tai Chin Nam) and the family that runs it are friendly and attentive. This is a yummy, reasonably priced, low-key place to grab dinner in Columbia Heights. Highly recommend!“
“The Jewel of India, epitomizes classic and authentic Indian cuisine. Bright on the menu, one can find diversified culinary heritages of India. Not only fine food takes the dining experience here to another level; outstanding warm service does. Attentive and genuinely warm staff place every guest to a special space which can be nothing else than Indian hospitality. Adding on ambience of light and Indian classical music, it is a sumptuous, great experience that lures one back for more. Whether your love of Indian spices is an old affair or you are just coming to these eclectic flavors.“
“If you’re seeking a dining experience that blends impeccable service, exquisite cuisine, and a dash of Southern charm, look no further than Ms. Toya’s Creole Seafood in Silver Spring. From the moment we stepped into Ms. Toya's, it was clear that we were in for a treat. Our server, Felicia, went above and beyond to ensure that my husband's 60th birthday celebration was nothing short of extraordinary.The table was adorned with charming birthday decorations, setting the stage for a memorable evening.Felicia's knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she patiently guided us through our selections, making recommendations and explaining each dish with enthusiasm.The whole red snapper fish, cooked to perfection, stole the show. Paired with broccoli and asparagus, it was a symphony of flavors that left us craving more. My husband's gumbo was rich and flavorful, while the bayou and surf 'n turf rolls were a delightful addition to our meal.After dinner, Felicia surprised us with warm beignets and vanilla ice cream, accompanied by a heartfelt rendition of "Happy Birthday." Her warmth and charm truly elevated our dining experience.If I may offer one suggestion, it would be to consider providing wet naps or warm towels along with a bib for messier dishes like the gumbo. Despite my husband's best efforts to avoid spills, it was a humorous moment that added to the charm of the evening.In summary, Ms. Toya's Creole Seafood exceeded our expectations in every way. With impeccable service, delicious cuisine, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's a dining destination we'll be returning to again and again.Parking: Convenient parking is always a plus, and Ms. Toya's Creole Seafood doesn't disappoint in that department either. We parked in Town Square Garage, the large parking lot across the street, with its multiple levels and clear signage indicating available spaces, ensures a hassle-free experience from the moment you arrive. Using the ParkMobile app to pay for parking adds to the convenience, allowing you to focus on enjoying your dining experience without worrying about parking meters or finding spare change. Plus, the well-lit surroundings and ample signage make navigating the parking lot a breeze, ensuring a stress-free start to your evening at Ms. Toya's.mKid-friendliness: While Ms. Toya's Creole Seafood may not be the ideal spot for children with shorter attention spans, it certainly caters to adults seeking a relaxed dining experience with excellent food and drinks. The atmosphere is more suited for adults looking to unwind and enjoy their meal without distractions. However, they do provide high chairs and have a friendly staff willing to accommodate families with young children. So, if you're in the mood for fantastic food and drinks and can keep your little one entertained, Ms. Toya's is still a great option.“
“Spices is always delicious. It’s one of our go-tos in the neighborhood and has literally never been a disappointment. When you have a spot like this, it’s not easy to remember to give them a review. It’s just such a part of our routine you forget how important online reviews are for restaurants.My personal favorites are their lychee martinis and crab wontons. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and the staff are always very kind.“
“This place is amazing, the price is so worth it. Everything is made fresh, so much flavor, I've been going here for about 2 years now often and I never had a meal that disappoints. You can even sample the soups they have that day, it's great! The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I am not a beef or pork eater and they always have something either vegetarian, chicken or turkey.“
“I have been eyeing Earl's sign about fresh roasted turkey and today I gave it a try (delivery). I have to say that Earl's is a real gem!Turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce: Just divine! Turkey is so tender that it is falling apart (like pulled chicken). Bread is whole grain, fresh, and nice mix of seeds.Garlic chicken sandwich with roasted peppers: my husband said it was really good.Vegetable sandwich (with balsamic vinegar or basil mayo): Excellent, chock full of mushrooms.Salad (with chicken): excellent. We particularly enjoyed the fresh apple slices (tasted like they had lemon juice). The dressing, though, was unexpected, only vinegar (no oil). We ended up using our ranch dressing we had on hand and sprinkled a little vinegar on top.So glad to have tried Earl's and we will definitely do it again (can't stop thinking about the turkey!).Update 3/3/24 We just finished our lunch of Mona Lisa (veggie) and Turkey and brie sandwiches and I am thinking of mine (turkey and brie). The best sandwich I have had (maybe ever). My husband really liked his Mona Lisa, too.“
“Great service, love the ambiance of the Food Hall it's located in! Lots of comfortable seats in the lounge at the front. Very clean, tidy and the music was not too loud. The actual dumplings were divine. The soup in each dumpling was hot, flavorful and easy to drink. The actual bao was a little thin but the fillings were delicious! Next time I may order two. The Rainbow Dumplings (comes with one of each of the six flavors) were all so tasty and each took several bites to enjoy and savor. Have happily found my new favorite Asian place to grab a bite.“
“Olive Garden is as good as you will get for a chain restaurant. We really weren't going there because the food is top tier, we went because it has a great family atmosphere which ends up making the food taste. Little better. The service was superb for our party of 25 and I would definitely come back just for that. Even when we were leaving the manager (or who I thought) was the manager greeted us all goodbye and made sure our service was good during ordering. Just an added touch of care. Thank you for a great family memory and the price isn't bad either.“
“My daughter & I visited this eatery on our trip to DC and absolutely loved everything about it! We got the chicken 1 sandwich & the Greek Goddess, along w/ tomato soup & quinoa chili, & lemonade! Everything was fresh & near perfect. And the owner was delightful to talk to. Wish we had something like this where we live!“
“after grabbing my fav coffee at Little Hat Coffee down the street (inside Streets Market) i stopped by for lunch! phonatics pleasantly surprised me! the pho broth was rich and truly delicious. the portions were generous, and i found myself unable to finish my meal. their summer rolls were a great size, four huge half-rolls. the place offers a decent amount of seating, and the staff is really nice and attentive just a heads-up: payments are made at the counter!“
“Visiting from St Louis and so glad we came across Luke’s Lobster! We ordered Luke’s flight so we could try all three rolls. Each one was so delicious. We also got the lobster bisque and NE clam chowder. Very good!! Friendly service and neat atmosphere.“
“The food is great! If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine this is the place to go. The restaurant itself has a relaxing atmosphere. The lady owning the place is extremely nice, she even gave us a tour of the kitchen since it wasn’t busy. I can’t praise it enough.“
“Well this is the second time, the first time I ate Menudo it was very good but the truth is they take too long to serve you, and now I better ordered by phone so I wouldn't have to wait I ordered a Cuban cake and the truth is I have no idea what part of Cuba it was because It is totally different from the Cuban cakes I have eaten, but it was really delicious.“
“This spacious store is at the center of DC downtown. I ordered a 6oz warmed lobster roll with butter, and the roll was fully loaded with fresh lobster meat. Good clam chowder soup, thick and creamy. But $37 for a 6 oz lobster roll is not something you can afford it often.“
“This place is consistently good. They're so good they are only 1 of the 2 cafes that survived covid. The breakfast choices and options are good. I usually get the traditional breakfast (toast, home fries, eggs and turkey sausage/bacon). They have a good looking cheesesteak sub but unfortunately don't have a chicken cheesesteak. They would be 5-stars.“
“Hands down the best Pho Ga I've had in the area. Their beef based Pho is very good, but others do it better. Also, currently the best iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk I've ever had, but note that I don't like coffee normally. Fast service, cheap, hot steamy deliciousness. The ambiance and atmosphere are mainly for speed and efficiency, but who cares! If you have a small party, expect to share a table with another small group when crowded. I always feel better after a bowl of theirs.“
“I first started dining at Sala Thai restaurant back in 2018 at the Minnesota Ave location, where I instantly fell in love with their chef fried rice and crispy calamari, among other menu items. When I moved to NE, I made the Rhode Island Row location my new go-to spot and have been a regular visitor ever since, indulging in their delicious Thai iced tea and sushi rolls almost daily. My absolute favorite dish is the Mei Fun (without pork or seafood), and I also enjoy their tofu with spicy basil fried rice, curry puffs, spring rolls, and an assortment of specialty rolls. Lately, I've noticed a significant improvement in their interior, menu offerings, and the quality of service, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend paying them a visit for a delightful culinary experience.“
“My wife and often escape our condo office for their tasty and inexpensive lunch. We also get delivered food from them. No delivery charge, but we tip the driver well. We love their eggplant dishes, meaty spare ribs, duck and so far almost everything on their extensive menu.“
“If you are in the area, go in say hi to Mai. We went in there for the first time today and immediately was merengue dancing. The cooks started dancing too lol! I ask what was the best thing on the menu and Mai hooked us up! Definitely recommend. Also thank you Mai for the extra yum yum sauce.“
“The food was very good. I had the soup if the day. It was a black bean chilli was big pieces of smoked meat and topped with cheese and red onion. Delicious! The collards greens were tender but over seasoned with vinager. I was definitely go back for the chili!“
“One of my fav Panera because it has good location. The strawberry charged lemonade is amazing. The space is a little bit smaller than expected but I was just picking up and go so it was fine. The employees were all very nice and respectful.“
“Yum!! This place replaced bobbys burger, but if you didn't look closely enough you'd miss it since they didnt change the signs! We ordered sweet and sour pork, a vegetable dish, and pork soup dumplings. The dumplings were so so soupy, while the pork dish and vegetables balanced each other so well. I think i'd go here whenever I'm craving chinese food in the area, and let me tell you, all the other customers around us were asian as well haha.“
“I grew up with a Thai aunt but my husband is NOT familiar with the food so he basically let me run the show. I've been craving Larb for SO LONG and this place had it! We also got Tom Kha soup and street noodles along with some Thai beers which reminded me of lighter pub beers in England which was a nice blast from the past“
“Very good Chinese food and plenty of it. Portions were big.Vegetarian options: The Chinese menu has a wide variety of vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Many ingredients can be customized to suit your needsParking: Adequate on property parking lotKid-friendliness: Good for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible“
“Longtime Rx Chix soup fan here. The matzoh balls are light & fluffy, the soup is loaded with healthy veggies and delicious chicken, and the broth is oh so flavorful. I love the spicy hangover and faux pho best of all. Hubs will happily eat bipartisan every meal of every day. But can we just talk about the matzoh brei?!? What a treat! It is so, so, good. There is no better way to eat matzoh and Rx Chix makes an excellent preparation. It’s flavorful, eggy, and buttery deliciousness. Loving the classic and everything! All the goodness of New York’s finest, without any of the cooking. Perfect for a relaxing Passover Sunday.“
“Incredible lobster rolls from new england right in the heart of downtown Bethesda. I enjoyed my meal here. service was straightforward with ordering and then getting your meal when ready. The space is very small so not ideal for large groups. Added to my list of places to frequent.“
“Panera is busy in the mornings and they really do rush..or take their sweet time…but today the food and drinks seemed super rushed! My green smoothies were quite low; and I brought it up to the barista- her name is SOY. What a sweet girl. She didn’t catch an attitude or give me excuses, she smiled genuinely, was helpful, and fixed it right away!! What a gem. Thank you for your excellent customer service and positive attitude. You have no idea how you can make someone’s day better with just a genuine reaction and solving the problem. THANK YOU SOY!!! You’re the best :)“
“A little bit confusing to get to the location as the place is inside a building. It’s a bit small but easy to take out your orders. Staffs were kind and friendly. No seating inside but there’s food court near by with available seatings.“
“A cute little local bakery/coffee/sandwich place. The chocolate-hazelnut croissant was delicious and the mocha was well made but the BLT was just ok.The man at the counter was incredibly friendly and kind in our interaction. He even gave me a little history on the store.“
