I stopped by this location around 7:50 PM, and I want to be honest for anyone thinking about coming here. Even though they were closing in 10 minutes, there was still a good amount of food out. But it did not look fresh at all. A lot of it looked like it had been sitting there for a long time. Some items looked cold, dried out, and even had stuff on top of them that made the food look unappealing. It just didn't look good, plain and simple. On top of that, the person who greeted me didn't speak any English, so it was hard to ask questions or understand what was actually available. If you're looking for the same type of vegan food, I strongly recommend the Mt. Rainer location instead. Their food always looks fresh, the place feels way more inviting, and the experience is consistently better. Just sharing this so people know what to expect before coming to this location. read more

They are inconsistent with their prices . On the Order Machine it has 1 price and once you order its another price and the manager justify the reason for you not being told up front before you order. read more

Dodah’s Kitchen - Its says double Entree & Side says $17.95 but after being rung up its 19.45 you will find the up charge afterwards. - Vegan Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

Good afternoon I wanted to take a second and do a vegan food review. For my very first visit Dodah's hit the mark. The ambiance was really nice which included live plants and plenty of seating area. The food was prepared relatively quick though it appeared to have made to order options. I tried the ribs, mac n cheese, and mushroom salad on my visit. I will get the ribs and Mac n cheese again but will try a different side the food is tasty, filling, and reasonably priced. I will admit I was apprehensive to try the food after seeing no customers in the restaurant. Thankfully I was very satisfied with my experience and beat the crowd which arrived shortly thereafter. Would recommend 3.9 of 5 read more

Not the best vegan food, but a couple of their menu items are good. I'd avoid the BBQ ribs and the seafood mac, I was very disappointed with those. The service is always great, though and I only come here if I'm in the area and desperate for some vegan food. The desserts they have all hit !! A few of them are too sweet (if you like that) but the carrot cake isn't that sweet and it's really yummy! read more

Dodah’s Kitchen - BBQ ribs (sf) , Candied Yams (gf, sf) , Seafood Mac' n Cheese - Vegan Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

I am a new resident of this restaurant neighborhood and have been super excited to visit and try them out! I was appalled by the customer service unpon walking in there was no one at the front to greet no music playing or anything. The space is nicely decorated and felt clean however the food looked cold.. untouched it's been sitting there overnight at 11:12am then came the employee with his phone in his hand and popping gum looking at me us like what yall want? He pretended to not understand or speak English when I asked how does the ordering work? What is the options for a plate.. he just didn't care. He continued to pop his gum just steering at me in a way that made me uncomfortable without answering my question and then proceeded to laugh once I said okay then nvm. Management needs to be made aware of who is the face of their business and fix it. You had 2 new customers who could have become regulars walk out your business because of one bad employee. Do better! read more

Dodah’s Kitchen - Vegan Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

Classic vegan spot with good options. This is my first time at this location but it's the same service overall. They've switched to kiosk which speeds the whole experience up. The prices are average where you'll easily spend $10-$20 on items and/or combos. The ambiance of this store is vibrant, clean and well kept. Overall if you're looking for a good vegan spot in the Forestville, Marlboro Pike area stop by this one. read more

District Heights doesn't see much in the way of healthier alternative food. Joining Food for Life on Suitland Road comes Dodah's with vegan food on Marlboro Pike! It replaces the neighborhood sensation Uncaged Chefs. Where did they go? I'm glad to see vegetables and plant based food in their spot. I hope this tells places like cava or sweetgreen that they would be appreciated in this area just as much. Anyway, back to the business that decided this neck of the woods is the way to go... I tried more of their offerings. Previously, I had the collards, candied yams and cabbage (I think) All checked the boxes. I sampled the buffalo cauliflower and it was good, but not crispy as I had hoped. I would still order it at another visit. My next visit, we went with chicken drummies, ribs and Mac n cheese. Chicken Drummies- impressed! Fresh out the fryer, lightly crunchy Mac n cheese- creamy noodle mix with a kick...a lil bbq or chipotle seasoning? Satisfying. Ribs- my guess is that it's like chickpea falafel and rich bbq sauce Strawberry cake- sweet for a nice dessert but not overwhelming nor too sweet. Ginger lemonade is great with a pretty strong ginger kick. I'm ecstatic to have this option close by. I will definitely return! read more

I've been dining at Dodah' kitchen periodically for over a year now, and prior to December 20th, I only had two complaints. (1) Once I ordered the wrong side from the kiosk and the worker refused to exchange my food. (2) I tasted my seafood mac & cheese and it tasted spoiled. On December 20th, I ordered my usual (vegan fish patties, seafood mac & cheese and string beans) and I got really sick after eating it. Other than a box of Mike & Ike candy, Dodah's was the only thing that I consumed that day, so there was no question as to the origin of the sickness. It didn't hit me immediately, but after a few hours it all came down. Stomach pain, bubble guts, and I regurgitated once. Actually, I had the full experience, but it's TMI to describe. I spent the next two days eating broth crackers and drinking ginger ale in between bouts of sleep. I'm done. I will never eat or recommend anyone to eat anything there again. Those that I've told to go there have already heard about my food incident and hopefully they won't go there either. It was good while it lasted. I hope that they improve their food quality so that no one else gets sick. read more

I had a taste for a veggie plate and I knew exactly where to get it! All the food here is hot and fresh. Ordering is easy with the touch screen menu. It's super easy and shows pictures of the food options. After the order is placed your plate is made and your number is called. I ordered my favorites: sweet kale salad, cabbage, and sweet potato. I ordered a second plate with spinach lasagne, sweet kale salad and seafood Mac n cheese. There's ample parking and easy to access. Each plate was roughly $14-$17. The spinach lasagna was a little salty this visit. read more

The food does not have any flavor. They run out of the most popular items quick, and do not refresh them throughout the day. The staff are not knowledgeable about the menu and are unprofessional at times. read more

I honestly expected more from this restaurant as I have heard so many great things about it. I eat vegan food very often and enjoy it. First, the staff expressed that they did not have any kale, sandwiches, or crab cakes, which was frustrating because I looked forward to trying the kale. The cauliflower was the best thing on the plate, but I wish it was crispier. In my opinion the mac & cheese was nasty and I did not the like flavor of the cookies and cream cheesecake. I went with 2 other people and we all agreed that we expected better. read more

Dodah’s Kitchen - Gen. Tso's Cauliflower (sf) Mac' n Cheese green String Beansbeans - Vegan Near Me - District Heights, Maryland

I love me some Dodah's kitchen! I generally frequent the Waldorf location. However, due to work I was near this one and decided to give it a try. Quiet vibe and the restroom was clean. It seemed there was only one staff working there. While he was friendly, he was very quiet. I wasn't sure if there was a language barrier or he just didn't want to talk to me lol. But the food was in point as always. My only issue was that it was 3pm and they were out of a few items. read more

The food is scrumptious at both locations. It is a pleasant place to dine in or out. The only problem I've encountered is that there are two different dialects, which can be a little frustrating at times, but otherwise, I highly recommend both the District Heights location and the Mountainer restaurants. Kudos! read more

There was only one worker at the front, and unfortunately, they didn't speak English and weren't able to explain the menu or provide important details about how the food was prepared -- which is especially disappointing for an all-vegan establishment where people often have specific dietary needs. Ordering is done through touch screens, which is a nice touch, and you'd expect that to help keep orders accurate. However, my friend ordered an entrée with two sides, including collard greens, but received kale instead. I was even more frustrated because I specifically wrote in the instructions -- in both English and Spanish -- no Old Bay seasoning on anything, especially the fried oyster mushrooms. Yet, when we got our food, the mushrooms were covered in Old Bay anyway. Admittedly, we should have double-checked the bag before leaving, but it's disappointing to see such a lack of attention to customer instructions. Overall, we left very disappointed with the service and the poor judgment in having only one front-of-house staff member who couldn't properly assist customers. read more

This place is an oasis in the middle of a food desert. That being said, they charge you like they know. I work close to them and stopped in for lunch, a two side entree meal is 20.00...thats insane. It's another place with the same setup charging 13 for a two side and entree tray, in a neighboring city. read more

Excellent service and the food is delicious, really good they have several locations and the desserts are amazing.

The place is wonderful and the food is very good. Without a doubt, it is a place I would go again. Very good

The food is amazing. Very grateful for this location as I'm aiming to eat cleaner and healthier.

I have a fondness for delicious food that gives me something to feel less guilty about, and eating vegan is one step closer to eating a little bit cleaner. On the other hand, it has good dupes such as spinach lasagna made with veggie protein--which I used to practically live on when I lived next to a store that sold slices of it to go. And General Tao's cauliflower...collards are some of the best I've ever had, vegan or otherwise. Try it! read more

Didn't have a chance to try the food at this location. There was no cook, only a cashier, and the cheesecake was molded, we walked out!

cust service is TERRIBLE ! the staff doesn't speak English and the female has a attitude problem because she doesn't understand what you're trying to order. this is the 2nd time I've encountered bad service at this location. don't waste your time or money here. oh yeah, the food is notoriously cold read more
