This compact little spot was a short walk from my hotel during a recent DC visit, and of course I can never resist a place with the words "food hall" in it! And while this may not have been your traditional, multi-vendor food hall, they definitely serve up an assortment of Asian-style cuisine and it was all delicious. I ordered the hibachi steak lunch special and a side sampler of four pieces of tuna nigiri. Both were excellent. The tuna was fresh and tasty, and the hibachi steak was also delish. I did order (and paid the upcharge for) noodles with my hibachi steak, but it was still served with rice. Not the end of the world! The service here was super friendly, and the restaurant was clean. They offered beer by the bottle, too, which was a nice option! read more

This is my go to order spot. There's quite a few options to satisfy your appetite. Whenever i have called in, they've been very courteous and efficient. The space itself is smaller, but has a comfortable feel to it. The fish tastes good in the rolls and bowls I've ordered, and I've never been disappointed with any entree I've ordered. I do wish they had hot and sour soup, but that's just me. Also, their menu has options that you can't even order. When I've called to ask, they've also been perplexed. Overall a good spot to order from, you can go in, but again, smaller space. read more

Taking a long-time friend out for a birthday lunch, he picked 209 Food Hall due to its location and top ratings online. It did not disappoint. Here's why. 1) Food: The menu is very large with many options- appetizers, fried rice dishes, entrees, sushi, hibachi, and more. My friend ordered the miso soup, which comes in a larger-than-normal bowl, and the sushi. I got the chicken, beef, and shrimp fried rice per the owner's recommendation. As a surprise, they gave us spring rolls and a piece of matcha cake for my friend's birthday. The fried rice was sizeable and very good. The meat was perfectly cooked. The spring rolls and miso soup were excellent. The sushi, according to my friend, was good, but not noteworthy. 2) Drinks: They have an entire fridge full of soda, juices, beer, and even wine. 3) Service: It's excellent- attentive and quick. One of the owners took the time to talk to us and told a bit of her story. The owners also have restaurants on Capitol Hill and Adams Morgan. 4) Space: It's small and many use them for takeout, but they have three tables that sit four inside. It's tight, but it works. There's also a small outdoor patio along the sidewalk. 5) Area: It's along New York Avenue NW with lots of traffic, but it works. It's on a block with other local businesses. It's easy to walk to and there's street parking nearby that's more easy to find. read more

209 is not your traditional food hall with tone of different types of restaurants to choose from. It is a former carryout with that carryout feel still happening but you can eat at on of their three tables inside or outside: Truth be told this place is a gem. The udon is delicious the tempura sushi is fried all around and hits the spot and the bento box is bentoing....yes that's not a word but it works. The service is superb, and kind. As for ambiance, it's a cool small hole in the wall feel place where the neighborhood comes out and everyone not in the hood should visit too. The only time we weren't impressed with was the boba tea, it was average. The food was good! I see the five star reviews and I am not mad at them but I have to stop my stars at 4. Good food, Average boba and good service. The question, would invest again? Absolutely and when I go back I want that sushi AGAIN!! read more

We were out looking for Asian cuisines and I came across this place on line. The photos and reviews convinced me enough to give it a shot. It did not disappoint. Small quaint establishment with that neighborhood vibe. I tried the hibachi chicken. It was amazing. Juicy full of flavors and it wasn't charred. Complimented with a small grain fried rice sitting on top of a bed of fresh crisp vegetables. My group also enjoyed orange chicken, edamame, miso soup and brown fried rice. The Mgr came out and talked with us awhile. Loved the slow pace and great food. The wait time on our meals was only a few minutes. read more

Not sure why the great reviews from others. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. That's a plus. Got a nice appetizer/amouse. That's another plus. Had a sushi roll that was mediocre (rice was crunchy and seaweed was chewy) and chow fun that was also middling. So overall, not bad but also not great. read more

This is a hidden gem on New York Ave, in the middle of residential houses & a barbershop. They have fried rice, bento boxes and yummy noodles. You can dine in or order to go. You might find street parking for to go orders. If you are dining in, pay attention to the street signs. read more

209 Food Hall - Hibachi Chicken Bento Box - Pan Asian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Went here on vacation because of the good reviews. A family sushi platter that came in a boat and the habachi 209 that had steak shrimp and chicken. We walked 20 min to get there. We ate in the restaurant and the owner was super friendly and helpful. All of the food was excellent. The sushi and sushimi was so tender and fresh. The habachi was also tender and very delicious on top of veggies. It was plenty of food at a good price. The restaurant was small, cozy and clean on the inside. Bathroom was clean. There were lots of people coming in and either sitting outside or ordering to go. Lots of locals coming in who obviously knew the owner amd were regulars. We would absolutely eat here again!! read more

We were visiting in town and our kids were in the mood for Asian and sushi. We stopped by 209 Food Hall knowing nothing about it and would definitely go back. The owner went out of her way to make sure we were well served and had plenty of drinks while we waited for our take out order. It's not often that 5 kids and 2 adults are all happy eating at the same place but this was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful meal! read more

This is my first yelp review, I would never do this unless they truly deserve these 5 stars. Service; impeccable, food; to die for, seating; great. My server was amazing, great vibes, very helpful, and took really good attentive care for us. Highly recommend if you're looking for something to eat read more

Inadvertently came here on their first day, and we were so charmed! The staff, led by manager Jolin, were SO kind. My friend ordered crab salad when she meant to get crab Rangoon, and when she called to fix it, they just gave her both. She loved the Rangoon! I got the hibachi chicken and really liked all of the components, and the spring roll was tasty. I'd like to come back and try something new! read more

209 Food Hall - Great dish ! - Pan Asian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Fantastic family meal at 209 Food Hall tonight!! We met owner Annie upon our arrival and immediately received her warm and genuine care. We lived in DC for many years before moving 8 years ago and returned to visit as tourists. We followed the excellent reviews to this awesome restaurant and our high expectations were exceeded. Great meal! Generous portions and delicious food with top ingredients and flavors. The chicken and shrimp hibachi, tempura sweet potatoes, Shanghai street noodles, spicy orange chicken and shrimp dumplings were all delicious. High comfort and nutrition food at its best. Annie the owner is a hard-working restaurant owner and mother too. She is super kind, cool, engaging and funny. We had a great night. read more

While in DC, I tried this establishment. I ordered the Chinese Fried Rice (Pork), Party Wings and Fries, and Sweet Potato Rolls. Everything was great! The portions were significant! All of the food was seasoned and prepared to perfection. The Sweet Rolls were incredible! The service was extraordinary, and the environment was alright. This will be one of my mainstays every time I come to DC. read more

Good food and good prices. Lots of options and everything was great, will definitely be back again

Food and service was great! I had the hibachi with steak, shrimp, and chicken. Everything was cooked how I liked it.

We love this little restaurant. We moved recently close by, and have now dined in and ordered delivery. Food is made to order with fresh ingredients. So far we have tried the veggie tempura, Singapore noodles with shrimp, fried rice, and several various sushi rolls. All excellent! Their homemade spicy sauce is delicious and goes with everything. Cutest to go utensils to boot! read more

Delicious, fresh food, great service, and relaxing atmosphere. Couldn't ask for more. Coming back asap. Get the habachi veggies

Sushi and service was amazing! Annie was very kind and even threw in a sushi roll on the house because the online ordering system glitched, to no fault of their own. If you're a sushi fan, ask for the "209" roll -- it was delicious! read more
