    Located on the first floor of an office building. Food made fresh to order. I ate breakfast there 3 times. The breakfast sandwich and french toast platter was great. Plenty food for a decent price!

    Decent to-go spot I suppose. I ordered off Uber Eats to try it out. If you're looking for something quick on the go and can't stand fast food options try it out. Other than that it's oretty basic and straight forward food.

    Kafe Kosmos is one of my favorite places to buy my lunch or eat with my coworkers. The restaurant is clean and the food is very good! I strongly recommend.

    Thank you food gods, for placing this sublime cafe in an otherwise barren office park! Without Kosmos, I would be stuck brown bagging it every single Monday through Friday! I've only eaten lunch here twice but I'm already infatuated. On my first visit, I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich which was grilled Cajun chicken on a toasted sub roll with pesto, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. I would've never thought of combining pesto and Cajun but it was a great combination, and held together perfectly by the fresh, crusty roll. They only use Boar's Head meats so I'm looking forward to trying other sandwiches and paninis. But Lo, you ask, won't you grow weary of sandwiches? Fair point, which is why it's fabulous that they also have a hot and cold bar! As you can see in my photo, I tried a little bit of everything on my second visit.* I believe the veggie egg roll was oven baked since it wasn't dripping in oil like when you get them from a carryout. It was good- I mean, an egg roll's an egg roll. It hits the spot for me when I'm craving something fried. For my protein, I had the jerk chicken breast. It was flavorful and juicy, however the jerk sauce had an almost sweet taste rather than spice. I recommend it but only if you want good chicken, not if you're looking for heat. My two sides of scalloped potatoes and chickpea salad were great, especially for being cafeteria food. The potatoes had just the right amount of lightly browned cheese and were cooked evenly (I hate when you get a couple of potatoes that are raw)! The salad of chickpeas, black beans, onions, tomato, and avocado must have been the day's Latin cuisine item and I'm glad they made it! The ingredients were fresh and it's definitely something I'd buy regularly. Kosmos is also a good meeting space since they have plenty of tables, small and large. I've been there only during the lunch rush when it's crowded and noisy, so you want to go later if you're having a working lunch. The sandwich makers and cashiers are polite and the lines move quickly. *I would normally have selected a sensible salad but I was trying to be a good Yelper.

And Montgomery County has a lot of not amazing buffets. I came here once a few years ago and was hoping well maybe it improved. It had not. There's a section with your noodles, rice, and veggies. They're all pretty flavorless but not the worst. There's a handul of chicken options. Most are meh. The buffalo wings were surprisingly a step above meh. The sweet and sour chicken would have been pretty good except I didn't see sweet and sour sauce anyway. Then there is a BBQ section that is actually probably where you're going to want to go. The baked chicken was actually the best thing they had here. It was well seasoned and not dried out. The pork chops were decent too and the "honey ham" was not bad but seemed more like a pork roast than ham. Avoid the fried chicken. The breading tasted like old oil. Sushi looked meh and was mostly veggies and cream cheese. The fresh fruit was actually good tho, and the very small dessert section was kinda passable. The biggest win here is going to be the made to order noodle soups. The broth had decent flavor. Skip the beef tho it is chewy, but maybe the chicken is better otherwise they have fish balls and crab. Or just lost up on veggies. They also have an option for you to get the soup to go. So overall a very meh option. But if you're looking for a fairly cheap lunch In downtown silver spring and something that can hold you over for awhile, it's here at the bottom level of the Ellsworth place mall.

    Representing 2023 in alphabet series, N is for Northwest Chinese Food. This place made the Top 100…read morebest restaurants in Washingtonian. I happened to disagree and don't see the appeal. I like most other Chinese restaurants I've been to better, but this place has its unique flair and a different spin on Chinese food. This was overall a negative experience. In May 2023, I had a date, which included Northwest Chinese Food. I had met her way back in March 2021 from an online date. We didn't end up going out again. Then, shortly before this date I saw her at a hiking Meetup group, but we didn't remember each other initially. She seemed cool, and I got her phone number but realized her # was in my phone already and then remembered the March 2021 date where we walked in a park. In May 2023, it was the same kind of thing of meeting for a walk and came up with meeting at Lake Artemisia. It was actually a decent date at the lake, and we were discussing dinner. We were looking on phone weighing options. She had suggested I think Mission BBQ, but I said I literally had like a day earlier. Ultimately, she suggested Northwest Chinese saying that it was one of her favorites, and I was game to try. She had said that she didn't drive there since she lived in College Park and walked to the park, and I drove us to Northwest Chinese. I forgot to factor parking being a pain in central College Park, which I was annoyed. I don't like paying to park just to eat a meal. So, I put 1 hour in the meter, which limited our time at the restaurant but is enough time to eat. If we had gone with Mission BBQ or whatever not in central College Park, we could've stayed 2 hours if it had been good. I honestly might have nixed the Northwest Chinese idea. Even though it was close to 8 PM on a Wednesday night, the restaurant was quite busy and was a wait, which I didn't think would be on the later side on a Wednesday night. It's a small hole in the wall place. It was nicely decorated, but it's small & tight spacing with limited seating. We waited outside for 15-20 minutes. We got seated. I told the server right away we have 40 minutes left on the meter so that he was aware. The one positive was the server did do a good job respecting our time and was efficient coming around often with water, etc. We got our food in good time. But this was quite spicy and adversely affected the taste for me. The quality seemed pretty good, but because of all the spice, I didn't enjoy this meal. Additionally, it was loud in there, and I had to speak unnaturally loud to the server and was hard to hear in there. Further, we were very close to the table next to us, particularly could've joined in on their conversation. Afterwards, I drove her back home. But the dinner with the loudness, it was hard to keep much of conversation going, the time constraint of the parking, dealing with the spiciness, it ruined what had been a good date at the lake. Overall, this restaurant left a sour taste or really more accurately a spicy taste in my mouth.

The only bartender was not friendly or welcoming at all. The bar was empty at the time. She placed the menu on the bar and still doesn't introduce herself or even say hello. Just nothing! I told her I wanted a red wine from the happy hour and also redeem a bar bite reward. I asked if it was for any bar bite and she rudely said, "I don't know what reward you have." I gave her my number and she found it. I placed an order for the picanha burger, which I thought was just ok. I probably won't get it again but at least I got to try it. She never asked how my food was our if I needed anything else. Really if she was more pleasant, I would have stayed and ordered more. The happy hour here is such a great deal. Her demeanor turned me off so much that I got my check and left as quickly as possible. I understand people could have bad days but to work in customer service with that attitude is bad for business!
