    Love it!!

    Wow -- absolutely loved this place! We ordered the 2-piece fried chicken buns and the fried chicken curry with rice, and everything was outstanding. Huge portions, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best food I've had in DC. The food came out fast -- under 5 minutes from ordering -- which was impressive given the quality. The staff were top-notch: friendly, smiling, helpful, and super efficient. The restaurant is spotless, pricing is great, and the space is creative and fun. I also really appreciated the thoughtful packaging, especially keeping the rice separate from the curry, chicken, and vegetables -- such a nice touch. First-class experience all around. 100% coming back!

    This is definitely a place for instagrammers and not necessarily if you're craving a good meal. The decor is definitely super cute and trippy to sit in! They have staff but you'll order at a kiosk. I ordered the fried chicken buns and the soup dumplings. The buns were pretty solid, but kinda felt like a few chicken nuggets in a bun with sauce and some lettuce. The soup dumplings were a little meh, wouldn't order again. Overall a cute spot to come once for the novelty.

    This place reminds me of the 2D cafe in Japan. The place looks awesome with 2D effect. It is a self service shop so you come in and order at the kiosk. The server and host are friendly and the food comes out immediately. I went with a friend and ordered the Tapinyaki, Pork Dumpling and Pork with Rice. The serving size is huge so keep that in mind when you order. Food is awesome. The restaurant is across from Tenleytown metro stop. Highly reco

    Tonkotsu Ramen

    You order at a kiosk and the food comes in about 10-15 minutes. I got the tonkotsu ramen. Food was good and well-portioned. You can get water/fill up your bottle for free at the self-service station. The workers were cool. Probably won't go again until it gets cold out because it was super warm in there and I'm not sure they have AC.

    2D Noodles is a newish fast casual noodle place right off the Tenleytown Metro. The good: -- Interesting interior: The 2D design is cute, and the large chandelier on the ceiling is a nice touch. Ordering at the kiosk is pretty straightforward, and there's a staff member right there if you need help. -- The pho is quite delicious and very very generously portioned. Be prepared to take leftovers home. I had kept my expectations in check due to the lackluster yelp reviews but to my pleasant surprise the Pho is pretty yummy. The broth is a tad too salty at first but adding the lime juice brings it to a perfect balance. -- Staff is helpful and friendly. -- kudos for serving the noodle soups in proper ceramic bowls, not plastic. The Not-so-good: - Cleanliness: The place is quite new but isn't as well kept as it should be. There's visible dirt and debris on the floor especially along the walls. Also, as soon as I sit down, I noticed a faint unpleasant smell, the table smells like dirty rags. It had probably been wiped down with a rags that hasn't been rinsed in a while. - the bean sprouts plate that comes with the Pho has a puddle of water sitting at the bottom of the plate, which doesn't feel sanitary. Please dry the sprouts properly before serving. Hopefully these issues will be addressed. Overall, a very welcome addition to the neighborhood.

    Pho, Soup Dumplings, and Boba Tea!

I noticed they had a Thai-style sukiyaki which isn't commonly found in most Thai restaurants I go to. I loved that this dish contained glass noodles, a wide variety of veggies, and a good portion of chicken. However, I didn't love the sukiyaki sauce, which was savory with some acidity. The sukiyaki had great ingredients, but not my ideal flavors. My friend got the Siam House Noodle with extra spice, which i didn't bother trying. He enjoyed it though. Overall, Siam House gives you a huge portion of food -- we both had enough for leftovers, and this is saying a lot for my friend who has a big appetite.

Server came by, not so much as a greeting or introduction, just a short, "do you know what you want?" Fine - no problem. We ordered two avocado toasts and side of fries to share. Now, the menu clearly says the avocado toasts are served with a "runny egg". Ok sure, no problem. What i did not anticipate was a half raw egg with the yolk swimming in a sea of translucent completely uncooked "whites". It was like a golden disc encased in a snot rocket. Ok, maybe that's their "runny". Slide it off the toast and press on - snail trail of mucus be damned. The avocado spread was great - bright, citrusy, and well seasoned. The "hot sauce" was likely from a bottle and could have been left off. The radishes would have benefitted from being tossed in lemon, salt and pepper. The image of the "runny" egg was too much so I ate half the toast serving and meandered to the fries. Not bad, crispy , hot, and...wait...sweet...something is off, I can't put my finger on it but at least it's not a raw egg. I keep eating. My kids looks at me and says, "do these remind you of funnel cake?" THAT'S IT - FUNNEL CAKE. We have both had enough, ask for the check. The server comes by gives me the clunky machine, I tap and put it down, he reaches for it and I say, it's processing, I still have to sign...and then he starts snapping his fingers...WHAT IN THE ACTUAL €¥($ ARE WE DOING RIGHT NOW?!? Never again. Never, again.

This food truck, though, has. What to get: whatever she gives you. That's not just for this truck but general advice for life. Amazing service from a woman that really cares and will stuff your box (so to speak) full of all kinds of crazy wild food. The service definitely gets a 5. The prices and food are a 4. They are good but not amazing. You get a ton of food, including meatballs and drunken noodles and all sorts of other weird stuff. It's all good but none of it was like, omg wow I can't wait to come back. The Thai Tea Bubble Tea was pretty yum, but the bubbles in it were not so fresh at all. I'd have enjoyed it more if I had ordered it without bubbles. Overall a great experience. My first food in DC after driving non stop from Pittsburgh, where I had just driven to from Buffalo. A crazy long drive which ended in me eating a ton of food from this truck and so it will always be a really positive memory for me. But if you've already tried it and enjoyed it, then I just Sang to the choir. Wheeeeeelllllls... I better be going. I have to talk to my friends from Ireland, Scotland, and Wheels.

    First time visiting this place after saving it on my list for a while now. Well, let's just say…read morethat it's worth the hype! Advice: sitting outside might be better in the cooler weather because we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes and fighting off flies. I really hope that they consider some type of nature oils near the tables to help guests feel more comfortable outdoors. Also, it would help to get more than one fan. Hospitality: aside from the bugs encounter, I would say that we did not have reservations (they were packed inside) so the hostess was nice enough to accommodate us outdoor. Our waiter, Anthony was a ball of energy and he really understands the dishes and was able to give great recommendations, some of which we plan to try on our next visit. Portions: the dishes are shareable so we only ordered the beef noodles and walnut shrimp and both were more than enough for a party of 2. DRINKS: I ordered the dark and stormy which can best be described as not too sweet and perfect for anyone desiring a well balanced drink. The bourbon smash was also really good. Well balanced with a smoky flavor which I loved. FOOD: Beef noodles- gosh this was so divine! Be warned however, there is a bit of spice to it but nothing that you won't be able to handle. I think the spices paired with the preparation of the noodles and the beef all made this dish memorable. Walnut shrimp- another memorable dish which came with a side of white rice. The shrimps were HUGE! But the flavors on each shrimp paired with that crunchy texture and creamy sauce, spectacular! Safe to say that we enjoyed both dishes and cannot wait to return and reserve indoor tables lol

I don't even know how to describe the energy in this place, but you can just feel it the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a dark aesthetic that gives it such a cool, cozy ambiance. My daughter and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons. Everything was so filling that we ended up ordering another bowl of the Dan Dan noodles! And honestly, I still crave them. The Dan Dan noodles were SO good. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy, and there was a generous amount of minced pork that balanced everything out really well. The wontons paired perfectly with the chili sauce that came with them! They were spicy--my ears turned red and my nose started running--but I literally could not stop going back for another bite. Even the wontons alone were incredibly filling. I don't live anywhere near this place, and I genuinely wish I did. I traveled pretty far to get here, and I'd absolutely do it again. This was one of those meals that stays on your mind long after you've left!
