    Strawberry Cheesecake (gf) and Ginger Lemonade
    Grace J.

    Looking for a quick vegan meal? Doodah's is the spot for you! I ordered an entree with two sides which included the cauliflower chicken candied yams, and old bay fries. I immediately dove into the cauliflower chicken, the best item from my meal. I was super surprised that it actually tasted like General Tso's chicken. The candied yams, unfortunately were mashed sweet potatoes with zero seasoning, definitely NOT candied. Old Bay fries were a hit, crispy and full of flavor! As a sweet treat I ordered the strawberry cheese cake, it tasted less like cheese cake and more like a lemon bar with a gelatin texture--not my favorite, but it kept my taste buds intrigued for sure. The ginger lemonade was mostly ginger with the color of lemonade, so be ready for a big kick if you choose to add this to your meal. The main con I noted was the limited menu offerings, other than the cauliflower chicken, the only other "meat" option was short ribs. Yup, they were out of nearly everything else (every other meat and all sandwiches), which was super disappointing. I saw a lot of potential customers make a U-turn due to today's limited menu.

    Cool vegan spot up the street from my Auntie's house. I had the vegan lasagna, vegan ribs, vegan macaroni and cheese. Was pretty good considering this is all vegan food, so no butter, no cheese, no real pork, no real ground beef. I'll come again when I'm on my health consciousness tip again.

    Crumbly mess. This was after I added slices of vegan cheese

    UPDATE: Against my better judgment, I tried again. First, the good: the garlic kale salad was good. So was the Sweet Love tea. These are what the 2 stars are for. I got the lasagna and one side (the kale). The lasagna was dry. Never in my life....not even at Dodah's, have I ever had something they called "lasagna" be DRY. Like, no sauce. Zero sauce. Just dry vegan meat and dry vegan ricotta. I had to put slices of Violife vegan cheese in between the dry pasta sheets and reheat it to make it edible. Never again. I was a fool for thinking things would be better. I'm done with Dodah's.

    GUYS ( a selfish part of me doesn't want to write this review so I can keep this place all to myself) Best vegan food I've had in my life. Love the welcoming atmosphere & accommodating staff. The plan originally was to order to go.. but after we had a few taste tests.... boy we sat there and ate. The place isn't that big either. To the food: General t'so had really good flavor, & the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. Sweet kale was good too! The ribs reminded me of a smoky meatloaf flavor, they were good too! Now the greens?!!?? Was differenttttt. My bf said "ain't no way these are vegan" (I guess he think vegans can't season food????) but yall the GREEENS!!!!! I can't even put it into words, I had to taste test 3 times & tasted something different each time... idk idk yall try them. Drinks are $5 but go big or go home! They're good too! Between our two choices I preferred sweet love over colada moss Lastly we tried the strawberry cake (I'm not a sweets person but my bf is) it didn't taste like strawberry. The cake was okay, just no strawberry flavor.

    Cookies n' Cream Cheesecake (gf)

    As a vegan, I was thrilled to visit an all-vegan restaurant for the first time and decided to try Dodah's. The food was served quickly after I placed my order, which was a plus. The cafeteria-style setup means the food is on display and not made fresh to order. The mac n cheese was good and reminded me of NuVegan's version, but if you're not vegan, don't expect it to taste like traditional mac n cheese. They use a homemade cheese sauce rather than store-bought vegan cheese. The General Tso cauliflower was decent, though a bit too sweet and could have been crispier. The green beans were my least favorite and could have used more seasoning. The cookies n cream cheesecake was just okay--not something I'd get again. I decided to give Dodah's another chance and ordered through Uber Eats the next day, hoping to enjoy their mac n cheese again. Unfortunately, this time the mac n cheese tasted off, and I couldn't finish it. The General Tso cauliflower was even sweeter than before, as if they had dumped an entire bag of sugar into the sauce. It didn't taste like General Tso at all. Dodah's need to work on consistency. Overall, I feel there are better vegan options out there.

    Absolutely delicious!! And I'm not even vegan! 10/10 Get you some! I enjoyed every bite!

    Came for lunch and it was great! All the food taste so REAL! And the benefits are that it's super healthy. The service was great. The ambiance was great. Would 100% recommend!

    General Tso's cauliflower, Mac n' cheese, Collard greens (it was supposed to be zucchini and squash)
    K N.

    Ordered through GrubHub for a friend. My friend enjoyed the meal, however the restaurant messed up the order and there wasn't a way to easily get it fixed. My friend ordered zucchini and squash but it was somehow subbed for collard greens. Overall the portions were quite large and delivery was quick and efficient.

    Mac & Cheese
    Saha S.

    I ordered from Dodah's Kitchen because I've been trying various Vegan restaurants in DC. This place is a bit out of the way, so delivery does take a while. However, the food is very good. I got the meaty lasagna, which tasted like a standard lasagna. The crab cakes - although they admittedly looked a bit weird in terms of color - tasted excellent and just how I would expect crab cakes to taste. The potato salad was nice and sweet and creamy. I also got the Mac and cheese since they were having a buy-one-get-one free deal. The Mac and cheese tasted very nice and rich, though I wouldn't really say it tasted like cheese (and it wasn't creamy or anything). Nevertheless, the food here is pretty good, but I doubt I will be ordering from here anytime soon just because of how far away it is and how long delivery takes.

    One of my best good friends let me I know about Dodah's Kitchen. She is a pescatarian and knows that I'm a meatarian who likes good food. Okay first things first DK is located on the corner of the street, bright white. So happy that someone else took a picture of the outside or I would have ridden right past it. Parking is on the street and is metered. The interior is quaint with a small seating area; although I believe this is closed because of the 'vid. Food is cafeteria style on warmers. They also have a refrigerated case with juices and their desserts. They have a nice selections of cakes and cheesecakes, etc. They have lots of options IMHO, for sandwiches, entrees and sides. They even have brunch items all day. I got an entree with two sides a piece of cornbread and because I wanted this to be a well rounded review (ha) a piece of sweet potato cake. Don't y'all love it that I took one for the team? Well rounded indeed! The sides were deliciously seasoned. If you're not a fan of garlic, I'd stay away from the kale, but I thought it was perfect and super fresh. I have no idea what the drummies are and was taken aback by the stick (because duh drumstick) but they were good too. You have a choice of dipping sauce if you like, but I don't think it needed them. The cornbread is about $2 extra with an entree. Can't say it tasted really like cornbread, but more of a sweet bread. I could probably do without that. The sweet potato cake was awesome, not too sweet and had just the right amount of sweet potato. I was really surprised at how good it was because I have had bad experiences with vegan desserts. The portions of everything were huge, I was able to get a couple of meals out of this. The staff was friendly, changed his gloves in between guests (yes!) and was helpful. I believe they have a loyalty program, and you can also buy a meal plan too. When I go back I'm going to avoid the stick and get the tenders and try the cheesecake!

    wow wow wow ! So yummy & definitely worth the price ! This will probably be my new go-to sushi spot…read more:) (also i love the rice crackers they give you w. your order to eat after your sushi , a delicate little treat:)

    Sushi But Like Vegan has no storefront, and it doesn't even have a sign. You cannot order the food…read moreat a counter. There is no person to help you. You just have to know about it! In fact, I had called when I arrived and couldn't get in touch with anyone. I looked around and couldn't figure it out immediately - when you walk into the door, you'll see 1 business. Turn left, and you'll see 2 other businesses showcased. Then, there's a door at the base of the stairs, and you'll see a bunch of stickers for places that have operations at Tastemaker Hall. Then, on the counter right by the door, if you've ordered, you'll see your food sitting there with your name, and that's how you get your food. That being said, if you're reading this, then you know about it, and you are one step ahead of me when I arrived. Thankfully, I had been drooling over the menu for sometime and then ordered before arriving. The menu has about half a dozen maki rolls to choose from if you order a 2 or 3 roll combo box. There are also some other combo boxes of sushi that include California rolls, avocado crunch hand rolls, jalapeño popper rolls, futomaki sushi and inari sushi to name a few. There are also bento boxes with a protein, japchae noodles, dumplings and pickled radishes. They have banh mi and tacos, salads and grain bowls, and they even have bao buns. I am always a fan of simple sushi like avocado and cucumber - and they did not disappoint. The rice was perfectly rolled up maki style with a perfectly ripened avocado filling and julienned/ matchstick cucumber filling that were delightful alone, bu spiced up nicely with the wasabi and pickled ginger that amply arrived with the sushi. It was a nice surprise that the rolls were so large - the pictures don't do it justice. When you pick up the box that has your food, if you're like me, you know how much rice weighs and when you have a heavy box with a dozen sushi rolls, you know there is going to be a lot of food! Most sushi from everywhere else I've ever had is to half the size, easily! It's rare for me to be happy with just sushi for a meal, but I think they've made an exception to my rule! One issue some might have is that there was no additional soy sauce or tamari with the sushi, which was fine for me but might not be fine for others. Of course, I had to try the superfood salad bowl complete with choy sum that was the simplest and most delightful preparation keeping it bright free, crisp, gently garlic and vinegar flavored while still tasting fresh. I could order a side of just that! The tofu was a little salty, but the amount was generous in the salad. There was also a generous amount of guacamole - I'm not sure if I like guacamole in my bowl with tofu, but it was still tasty. There was a generous garnish of green onions, as well. I would've like more kale, but romaine was okay. Fresh cucumbers were a lovely touch with the red cabbage, and complemented by the brightly colored edamame. Overall, the meal was delicious, and I would go back in a heartbeat. I cannot wait to try some more sushi and entrees here! Yum! Top quality and super fresh!

Non-bar. Why not? All vegetarian, vegan, lots of raw, veggies,and legumes, grains, and fruit and vegetable juices! Sooo glad we did! 2/4 of us frequent the establishment so we followed their lead I got the moolah bowl and a friend got a juice made of all kinds of fresh stuff. She said it was THE best fresh juices juice she'd ever had. Unfortunately they were out of both avocado and mushrooms, so I subbed brown rice and black beans. LOVED IT They roast the veggies, and just totally mix the greens and toppings n veggies altogether and dump it in a brown box! DELISH AND HUMONGOUS. I literally am on my 3rd meal of it, today! I'm gonna write to the moms in white marsh and ask why "we" don't have the ear in option? Staff: two VERY hard working folk going at it, being patient with us first timers and totally apologetic about the items they were out of (as though it were their fault). A short line started to form behind us and a lady appeared from the rear to help them out. Good to see an establishment recognize a need to come to the aid of other workers to ensure customer satisfaction
