Breakfast Burrito was scrumptious! Love their salsa which has a slight vinegar taste to it... totally made with love!
Shahrooz E.

This place, totally surprised me! Came in looking for breakfast at 7 AM and found a sign calling out specials... I am a breakfast burrito snob and was totally caught off guard by how good crystal bowls is!! Super fresh ingredients put together with perfection and skill!! It's already the next day and I'm thinking about having it again lol The owner is the one who took my order and prepared my meal. She was very friendly and the service was impeccable. The restaurant is clean and they have two coolers full of drinks to choose from. I will definitely be returning every time I'm in the area.

Korean fried chicken bowl
Jazmin R.

Yum!! Stopped in Friday afternoon and got the Korean Fried Chicken bowl with the garlic sauce and rice and it was delicious! Even the coleslaw it came with was good (and I'm not someone who usually likes coleslaw). Chicken was tender and flavorful while the rice was decent, really enjoyed the sauce that seeped into the rice from the chicken. The coleslaw is a mayo base and almost had a sweetness to it too. Service was good and speedy. You order at the counter and you have to watch the number ticker at the front for your number as they don't really call out your number. There are tables inside as well as outside and the overall establishment was clean.

Italian sandwich
Jeremy E.

I was visiting from our of town and thankfully this little gem was right near my hotel. An Italian sandwich is basically my all time favorite lunch meal and to be able to spot a local sandwich shop that is outside of the chains is always a treat. Crystal Bowl did not dissapoint. Great ambiance when you walk in. Nice and bright, no blaring music, well lit, very clean. There was a super friendly girl at the front who took my customized Italian Sandwich order with a smile. Grabbed some chips and water to enjoy while the sub got freshly made. The sandwich was perfectly sized, not enormous and not too small. Price was great too. My Italian came out exactly as ordered. The ingredients tasting super fresh, the Italian dressing was absolutely AMAZING, and the bread was light and fluffy

Food was made to order. We ordered the big breakfast platter and allowed us to sub for pancakes instead of fries and toast. Less expensive than hotel food. Staff were smiling and helpful. Location is convenient for both breakfast and lunch.

Antioxidant Rich Smoothie
Chinyere U.

The owners are sooooo friendly and the food is absolutely amazing! It sits amongst some hotels in the area and provides some really cost effective yet healthy food options! They stayed busy with customers but they are super fast!!! My smoothie was soooo good! They have sandwiches, wraps, and desserts along with soups and salads! I recommend and give an A+! Highly recommend!

I was in the area for work and wanted a small bite! Stumbled upon this place after some walking around. I think its relatively new? But Crystal Bowl serves your typically lunch sandwiches, wraps, and burrito bowls with some Asian fusion in certain menu items. I got the chicken pesto panini and it was alright. I liked how the pesto sauce was salty and pesto-y enough but the chicken breast pieces were quite dry. The bread was also just ok and they didnt given much if the provolone bread. I wish the red peppers were cooked a little longer/softer and hoped that there was more pepper to balance the dry chicken. I had specified no tomatoes and the staff even entered that into the machine but my panini still came with tomatoes unfortunately. The store itself was clean and pretty spacious and the staff had friendly smiles. Overall seems like your typical cafe that serves lunch for the surrounding businessmen.

Bulgogi Rice Bowl
Dave R.

Neighborhood breakfast/lunch spot that offers a nice selection of food, including Korean rice bowls and wraps. Stopped by twice over the past 4-5 days for lunch and had the Bulgogi Bowl both times. Great food, friendly services, good prices, and clean space for dining in.

Shrimp Dupbop with salad and kimchi
Eric S.

A hidden gem amongst a bunch of hotels very near to Ronald Reagan Airport. Very friendly service from all employees, especiallythe owner. They offer good variety of drinks, including Kambuchas, and chips for a nice addition to whatever your order. Everything is made fresh to order. Great little place to grab some good food.

My girlfriend and I went here for dinner recently…read more Ambiance is on point with a very fun bee/ honey theme. They had a cute outdoor seating space, however it was cold and rainy so we couldn't sit there. We had the fried green tomatoes, snd both got the salmon with two sides of your choice. I got Brussels sprouts and potatoes. She got Mac and cheese and salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked and potatoes were crispy and salty on the outside and creamy potato on the inside. Yum!! We sat there until they were sweeping around our feet and they were very nice about it even then. I rarely close down a place these days, so I was grateful they were accommodating.

Let me start with the good. Our waitress, Samika, greeted us…read morewith a smile and took great care of us. She was attentive, friendly, and kept things moving. The wait wasn't long, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. They also offer a Monday-Friday happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM, which is worth noting. Now that we've covered the positives... I came with my family, as we usually go out to eat on Sundays after church. I ordered the shrimp and grits, my sister had the dark‑meat chicken with fries, that unfortunately had to be switched when they brought her the wrong white meat, chicken and fries. My granddaughter got sausage and grits. There are no pictures of the food because I don't recommend you come here if you're looking for real southern food. I personally won't be back and won't waste storage space on disappointment. The shrimp and grits....the portion was so small, I thought they accidentally brought me the sample plate. It should honestly be listed under "Kids Menu". The menu says it comes with chorizo pork sausage, but instead of sliced pieces like normal restaurants, it was crumbled so tiny I thought it was seasoning dust. When I asked about it, they told me it's "put in very small so you don't know it's there." Well... congratulations. Mission accomplished. You get six shrimp, and they claim the dish is "spicy". Please, the spice level was somewhere between tap water and air. Then there was the chicken dish. I tasted it, and my sister will give you the full breakdown in her own review. The skin had a nice honey flavor, I'll give them that. But once you get past the skin, the chicken was out here playing hide‑and‑seek with the seasoning. Completely bland. The fries were fine, not great, not terrible, just fries. Now, the bathroom: I was unimpressed. When you walk in, there were paper towels on the floor and toilet paper in places it shouldn't be. The handicap stall does have a baby‑changing table and some extra paper towel and tissue supplies, which is helpful. However, the toilet seat covers in the handicap stall need to be replaced, even though the other stall had some available. Overall, the restroom did not feel well‑maintained. Great service can't make up for food and facilities that simply don't deliver. This was a disappointing visit, and I won't be back.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.

About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute.

Francisco, who is one of the evening servers is fantastic and he's also a great bartender along with the other Indian bartender. Those guys are great. However, the morning team has a lot of room for improvement. They were friendly to me but completely disorganized amongst themselves. In fact, I didn't even bother with my second breakfast, which was free because what was the point between bad service and mediocre food. The place is spacious and they do lots of cooking classes which appear quite festive and enjoyable for groups. There's plenty of seating options that make it wonderful for everyone.

When we walked in, we thought it was gonna be packed because there were no reservations on OpenTable however they were able to see us right away. A very nice touch to add a stem of Rose for the women. I would say that I gave it a lower star rating not because the food was bad. It was actually delicious, but probably the experience itself. The restaurant felt chaotic, and even though all the tables were not completely packed of course there were flowers everywhere people gathering with grandmother's mother's children, etc We were seated in a two people table and all the top past dishes started to pile up very quickly. Instead of monitoring, the progress of the finished dishes and removing those dishes due to space constraint, the dishes came from the kitchen, almost on top of one another, and at one point I had to hold a dish in my hand in order to make space to put a dish on top of another flatbread pan/dish, making things super chaotic. Also dishes had to be put on top of the menu because in order to order additional food, you need to leave at least one copy of the menu at the table. Overall, again the flavors and taste were good, though I might have had similar dishes from other places, and my partner commented that some of it is actually very close to the Capital One landing at DCA. I would just say that it was more due to the chaos and just the way that all the dishes piled up on top of us we felt like we were we had to eat super quickly so that we could stack dishes ourselves and create room at the table. Also, when serving the dishes were not kept level and basically was slide to the side of the dish, making presentation off
