Noodles in Washington, DC

“Everything at Menya is completely mind-blowing and it's the best ramen I've had outside of Japan. It's a little hard to visit here especially with their hours but every time I can make the trip over to DC I always make an effort to come here. Their food stays consistent and service is incredible. It's amazing to watch how in synch the entire team is and they have an open kitchen where you can watch the staff make the endless bowls of ramen! The karaage is a MUST-TRY it's so incredibly crispy on the outside but perfectly juicy on the inside. It's also paired with a yuzu dipping sauce and it brings the chicken to a whole other level, 10/10. My favorite ramen is the Spicy Tonkotsu because it includes a house made chili spice that really brings a nice kick to their traditional Tonkotsu broth. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu because each type of ramen is so incredible in its depth of flavor.“

“The fried rice and wagyu was amazing! Also, the strawberry and sweet potato ice cream!“

“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.“

“Food was super, sake selection was outstanding and the company was great. What’s a girl not To love!“

“Was here for lunch, after a long drive from New York. Had a great time! The place looks amazing. Modern minimalism, yet so comfortable. Noel, our server was great! Friendly, nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. The drinks selection is also great, and they have mocktails which was great for my daughter. Overall, our visit was so great!“

“Reasonably priced Vietnamese cuisine spot offering a wide array of options. We tried the pho and vermicelli bowl. The beef was a tad bit too hard but the pho soup broth is very flavorful. Will drop by again for a quick and casual lunch in the future.“

“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.“

“The food was outstanding! I had the Tom Yum Fried Rice with shrimp. Great flavors, fresh shrimp, and a "medium spicy" sauce that really was medium spicy. Loved it! The crab rangoon was crispy and crabby. And be sure to save room for the fried bananas and honey for dessert. You won't regret it. The service was awesome. We enjoyed a nice relaxed meal. Highly recommend.“

“I don't usually write restaurant reviews. But Bandoola deserves the praise. My favorite is the Spicy Pork Noodle Bowl. It is a handsome amount of perfectly seasoned pork. The sauces, spices and herbs are a harmonious blend of southeast flavors. The food is reason alone to return to this little stall, but the customer service is amazing! The man who greets you is always happy and eager to make suggestions based on your preferences. He has also helped our fundraising efforts at the law school.Whether you are just stopping by or looking for a regular spot, come by this little stall that packs a big punch!“
