If I lived near Sunrise Cafe, this would be part of my regular lunch rotation!…read more Did you know that this eatery has been around for about 15 years now?! Wow, and I can see why! This Korean-owned small deli is located on the first floor of the 11720 building - it seems as if the loyal customer base includes the employees of the building as well as those who live in the area. Unfortunately, Korean dishes are no longer on the menu, but you can call ahead and make a reservation for a pickup for a special request, such as bibimbop, bulgogi, fried rice, etc. I think it's incredibly generous and thoughtful that the owner would take the time to customize and make special Korean dishes for her customers! The menu offers cold and hot sandwiches, as well as breakfast options. Since we had already eaten lunch earlier, we tried their Steak & Cheese - this was lovingly prepared, filled generously with steak, fried onions, mayo, and provolone cheese - simple, delicious, and tasty! I'd love to try the rest of their hot and cold sandwich menu and hope to be able to try some of the Korean dishes as well on the next visit. The owner is sweet, friendly, and welcoming, and so humble. There are plenty of seats to dine-in, and there were a few patrons who had their orders to go. Restrooms have their own unique code that is required to gain access. Check this place out - they're only opened during the week. You won't regret it! I can't wait to go back! +delicious sammies! +friendly service! +plenty of parking +located on the 1st floor, to your right

Today's (Monday) special is Bulgogi over white rice with glass noodles and kimchi. The bulgogi had great flavor - tasted and smelled amazing. The glass noodles were perfectly seasoned.

The service was great and incredibly attentive. Everyone was so nice. I ordered waffles, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and coffee. The waitresses might ask all their questions to ensure it is cooked to our liking. I barely have pictures because I was so famished. We ended up staying for like 2-3 hours talking as the restaurant started to wind down, and they let us sit and chat while we watched the parking wars outside. MY biggest con is the parking. It is annoying that Sardi's catering occupies 30-40% of the lot. There is a fast turnaround, so my friends and I literally sat and waited to catch someone leaving before parking, rather than driving in circles. There is a hotel next door with ample signs that it's for guests only and that you will be towed; however, I still saw people do it and then watch their cars from the window lol. I think this did put a bad stain on my experience bc it took me about 20 minutes to get parking.

After changing ownership, this place really went downhill. I ordered the chipped beef and the…read morewaitress didn't know what it was.

I had to take several minutes to explain what creamed chipped beef is and she didn't understand (she's hispanic and barely speaks english). After asking for a manager she says there isn't one there? Eventually another server came and finally understood what I wanted. Finally, I got my chipped beef. It was just okay. The taste was different from all the other places that i've ordered it. My girlfriend got over easy eggs with hash browns and toast (off-menu order). She liked it, but it's hard to screw that up anyway. The coffee was decent enough but I've had better. The diner is small and looks like a typical diner. I'm not sure if I'd come back, it was definitely a poor experience this time around.

This location is pretty close to the university just across from the front entrance. Staff was friendly, service was quick.

Also convenience factor and I did see they seem to have some sort of reward system so I guess if you frequent enough maybe you do get a break on future orders. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel and was a little surprised the sausage was smaller pieces versus a patty but it was decent and satisfied the craving for the day.

The bartender I had was a guy with dreads I believe, and he was very knowledgeable about everything there and he made great drinks. He was very professional and he ran that bar well.

But sometimes, even the best experiences can take an unexpected turn! So, my son surprised me yesterday with a call to tell me he had ordered breakfast delivery for my birthday. I was excited to learn it was from First Watch, my favorite breakfast spot. My anticipation grew as I opened the sealed bag, revealing the packed breakfast boxes ready to be enjoyed. However, my mood shifted after I removed a couple of boxes and noticed the plastic silverware pouch had been opened. The fork was missing and the opened silverware pack raised concerns, making me question the attention to detail and packaging standards. After noticing the packaging issues, I began to wonder about the cleanliness of the rest of the order. Sadly, some items fell short of expectations -- the waffle was soggy, the eggs were stiff and cold, and the potatoes were simply mediocre. The one thing i did enjoy was the fresh fruit bowl which was the highlight of the meal. This experience left me feeling sorely disappointed, I can only give this experience three stars, and that's being generous. First Watch Silver Spring, I hope you take this feedback seriously, as quality control truly matters.

Many of the containers were empty. What really rubbed me the wrong way was the poor customer service. Only one woman was working when I arrived and no one else was inside.

I ordered a couple of scoops and then left. Not sure if I will come back and may just make the longer trip to get better options and better service.

We met that Saturday morning at New Deal Cafe for coffee. Date was going well, and we went to lunch in this center here. Wow, this was amongst the best Mediterranean I've had. I got a platter with rice, meat, & more. I don't remember the exact specifics, but I remember I thought it was excellent. Staff was nice too. It's a pretty small place, but we were comfortable in this as Saturday lunch business wasn't too busy. Conclusion with this woman & a better new era: As for this woman & our 2nd date, we met for lunch near where I live on a rainy Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend (See my 5-star review of Notos in Maryland City). She was from Indonesia, here working for a family, and said the host family was moving to California next week. I said how crappy that was as you just got to Maryland in October. So, there was no future with this woman. Incidentally, a little more than 2 months later was my first date with my girlfriend of now about 2.7 years, which has been great.

I spent every summer in this town, growing up, and I never discovered this restaurant until a precious friend brought me here a few years ago. It's a dated, though efficient, and charming, cafe with fresh dishes you might love. Firstly, if you plan on having lunch here on a Monday, make sure you are able to finish by 2:45 since they close by 3pm. All other days, they are open past 8pm. We started with the sweet potato soup despite the fact that the reviews for the lentil soup here are the highest. Yes! If it's featured: get it! The turmeric and coconut milk make this soup delightful. The herbs made it so fresh and there was just the right amount of sweetness and gentle heat. Parsley really adds to this recipe and I'm not usually a fan of this herb. The pitas are soft, thin and light. Love them. We needed to order more. I've never had such paper-thin pitas. Yum! I love love love the hummus, here. It is nothing short of divine. The flavors are fabulous and deeply complex. You can really taste the tahini. The olive oil is mild and delicious. I exclaimed, "the hummus was the best ever." And then 5 minutes later, I read a review by Yelper James H. where he says it's the best ever and, "... this hummus at Cedars of Lebanon might have ruined all other hummus for me forever." While I've had similar swooning feelings over the hummus at Lebanese Taverna in Tyson's Corner, this hummus is at least a top contender if not the metro DC area's hummus winner. The cucumber mint yogurt salad is nice, cold and refreshing. You can really taste the mint. I would order this yogurt salad with every meal. The falafel pizza is unusual and fresh. Straight away-- you can taste the tahini, parsley and couscous. The dough is grainy and natural. And there are radishes on this falafel pizza: not overpowering. For the $9 or so pricepoint, this dish is a true labor of love. To prep all of these vegetables, even with food processors, must take time. How novel of a dish! Put the yogurt salad on this pizza. You will thank me. And I only did it because I was watching someone else slather it on. There were at least 12 desserts on the menu. Meow. If we weren't so full of pita, hummus, tahini and fresh veggies, we certainly would love to taste a few of these. As well as the Turkish coffee, with an authentic ceramic and metal carafé presentation.
