Bangkok noodles
Ashley G.

Slow service considering that it wasn't all that busy. Food is good and the price point is surprisingly reasonable.

$7.65 for a box of "Thai" noodles that didn't even include a meat choice or tofu? Oh, because that's between $2 to $3.50 EXTRA pre-tax. And that excuse for a "sauce" that seems like it came out of a limited-edition Kraft Macaroni box?! What?! I ordered the Bangkok rice noodles - no drink, no side, no meat. Just peppers, tiny carrot slices, and the most watered-down "curry sauce" I've ever had in my life. Gave two stars just because the noodles were at least cooked right; service was quick and courteous; and they also offer a variety of salads, sandwiches, and soups I unfortunately don't think I'm interested in ever trying after this lackluster experience. With so many good food truck choices and much better chains in the vicinity (by 500 12th St. and the food truck lineup in front of one of the exits of LEnfant metro stop, by the Wells Fargo), I would *never* come back here. I legit felt robbed - my mediocre 'meal' couldn't have costed more than a dollar to make. I can't help but wonder... HOW do they make this terrible, barely-spiced *water* concoction they dare call red Thai curry sauce?! Out of powder? I think I actually insulted instant boxed Kraft Macaroni, as even that has more of a consistency/flavor (except for the minor "kick" of Brown Bag's which was probably due to red pepper flakes only). Eek.

Fall Harvest Salad

Located in the L'Enfant Metro food court, this counter service place doesn't have a giant line all the time so I would recommend it if you want a salad, sandwich, soup, or pasta but don't want to wait elsewhere. I had the Fall Harvest Chicken Salad, which ended up being $12 after tax. I paid for extra blue cheese, but I definitely didn't get it. I really like the flavor and dressing (warning they use a lot of dressing) Salads are a big portion, so it makes for a filling lunch & I really liked my salad. Takes a couple minutes to wait for you food to be made though. It's a-ok!

I LOVE the Brown Bag! The establishment is clean and the service is usually fast. Initially I had trouble figuring out the computer ordering system but the cashier was more than helpful. Today I built my own salad with romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, grapes, shrimp and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Usually I order the Harvest salad. The chocolate chip cookies are soft and fresh too! The best thing for me is how clean the serving area is kept and seeing the workers practice proper hygiene. Clean gloves and a neat work area. This is my new go to spot for lunch.

I don't normally buy lunch. Today I wanted something different and opted for Brown Bag. First time eating from here and was I pleasantly surprised how tasty their version of Pad Thai with rice noodles and I added chicken and shrimp as my protein. I also picked up their freshly made strawberry lemonade. If I decide to buy lunch again this will be my "go to" for fresh food.

Meh. I built my own salad. It was okay but not even $10.5 okay. I prefer Chop't, I wish they'd build one around L'Enfant!! !
