The food ordered was delicious. The chicken momos were moist, juicy, and flavorful with a spicy sauce that complimented the momos. The thali with chicken was delectable. With a variety of small portions of veg, rice, dal, meat, and dessert. FYI They have a lunch special on the thali, and there are specials on their online portal. The only negative is that the entrance is only accessible by stairs. An overall nice experience.

This is a one of a kind cafe. I am not the type to snap pictures of food, but I have to every time…read moreI come here. Everything is so cute and well presented and delicious. The food is made fresh. I know they are known for their souffle pancakes and desserts, but the dinner menu is also delicious. I have had the katsu sandwich and the curry. The sandwich was moist, hot, and had a great texture and flavor. The sauce they use also compliments the meat. The curry is a classic curry. The souffle pancakes are such a treat!! I have had the ube and strawberry flavor. I recommend the strawberry. The ube is good, but the icing on it can get a little overwhelming due to the sheer amount you get and I ended up scraping half of it off. Due to the way they are made to maintain the size and texture, they do have an eggier taste than normal pancakes. I personally enjoy it, but just fair warning if you are particularly sensitive to the taste of eggs. But, they do advertise it as a souffle pancake, so the egg taste is not surprising! This place is always busy and everything is made fresh. It is not fast food! Be prepared for around a 20-minute wait. There is an anime store to browse in the front, but that would be a little hard to do while waiting for your food because securing a seat is a bit of a rat race if you are alone. If you come in a group, have somebody secure a seat first.

Surprisingly packed to a point where we had to wait for an open table on a Saturday Night. Great…read moresign that the food will be great. And oh it was! Loved the bingsu! Both the red bean and fruit options were great! Texture on the ice was perfect and the toppings are layered. Don't be fooled to think that you only get the toppings. And the nice ajummas serving were all pleasant. Theres a screen/counter calling your order number. Highly recommended!

We got a bunch of different dishes to try. Their dumplings were pretty good but the wrapper was thicker than I would like. My favorite dish was the strings beans which were crispy and had a great spicy garlic flavor to them. Pretty good Chinese restaurant that does some of the classic dishes right.

I normally do not…read morewrite bad reviews for restaurants because I know how hard they work, but this is complete bullshit.. I really don't know how they stay in business! I ordered this dish called the great harvest. It's supposed to have seafood and meat in it.. the order I receive only have potato and pumpkins with a weird sauce in it. It seems like they forgot to put anything else.. The young chow fried rice I ordered come with Vienna sausage instead of Chinese sausage. There's absolutely no taste to it at all.. what a disappointment! I will never order from them again. Do yourself a huge favor. Don't order from this place!

I have not seen anybody looking at the phone screen @ this festival which is a testament of things…read morebeing interesting and moving quickly. Entertainment was great: starting with the basic African drumming, continued with the dance and followed by steel drums music with a lot of good fillers between (African Zumba and South African country dance). The vendors offered very unique items to buy - from minerals to clothing and sandals and jewelry. Sales people were very kind and willing to explain the meaning of everything they were selling. It was a teaching moment for kids to see the works of art featuring Mandela. The venue was perfect, 7 story garage right at the venue, big parking lot nearby and street closed. The menu was interesting - a true African cuisine. My choice - it turned out very good - was a food vendor from Ivory Coast. Croaker fish was delicious and it offered a different experience just by virtue of having to pull the meat from the bone instead of eating it in a fish stick. The fish was wonderful, not fatty but flaky. The couscous was not North African but West African style and slightly sour. Plantains were divine (soft and sweet) and doughnuts different (consistency more like bread - a bit harder). Rice and greens met my expectation. I did not notice any North African country represented in the entertainment or in vending shop. Most northern products were from Ethiopia selling under premise of African art. This is a very convenient, very fast pace and fun festival with good food.

Solid dim sum spot in downtown Rockville, MD. This place has had so much turnover recently, but I…read morethink they found the right format. Yes, the parking lot is atrocious - very tiny parking spaces. I would recommend getting their early or dine during weekday lunch as it's less crowded. Got my usual dim sum staples and it didn't disappoint. I like you order from their menu instead of the cart service as the food arrives hot. We ordered the following: Har Gow, Shumai, Pan Fried Shrimp and Chive dumplings, Fried Turnip Cake and their Baked BBQ Pork Pastry. All were very fresh and good. Will definitely be back soon to try their other dim sum items.

Everything was great. Loved all the dumplings and different entrees. My favorite was the beef noodles. It was delicious. I love how the noodles were just right. I loved everything. But i just have 1 comment, there's weird smell when you first come in the restaurant. I think that needs to be addressed. Just a bit off putting. Just that. If that's good it would have been perfect.

Very nice festival that is not advertised hence not many non-Indonesians attend. Very nice grounds,…read moreplenty of shade in lush forest. Harder parking since it is in the neighborhood. You can tour tour the house on the grounds (residence of the ambassador) and see some impressive Indonesian master craft - in wood. There are plenty of exotic drinks and food. Nothing strange, good BBQ with Asian spices. There is no alcohol because (as far as I learned) Indonesia is predominately Muslim (86%) and secular in its nature. There are at least 20 food vendors so people who have hard times making their minds up may have hard time. Good entertainment program - ethnic music and dance. I visited it 2 times and had great time both times. I recommend visiting great Hillwood Museum and gardens that is only 6 minute walk from there
