    Lovely place, you don't expect to have the opportunity to try authentic Laotian food everyday in the US but you can do so in DC, this restaurant is featured on Michelin's list for 5-6 straight years, and there is so much indoor/outdoor seating that we didn't need to make a reservation ahead of time or wait for a long time before getting seated even for a Saturday dinner. The Laotian food tastes very similar to Thai cuisine. The dishes are beautifully presented and rife with flavors. Although my favorite part, also unique to Laotian cuisine, is the sticky rice. I just love the texture of it and especially if you make a rice ball with it, and dip it into the chicken curry soup to soak up the flavor, it tastes just amazing! Overall food: 8.5/10 Ambience: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

    Love the atmosphere. Such a beautiful place! Staff was very welcoming. Wonderful service. I like that they have outdoor seating options. Food: Phở - it was ok and broth was too sweet for us Herb sausage - it was good Chicken fried rice- my hubby really like it. It was good for me.

    We came here after an arts and craft studio nearby. We were quickly seated, although service was slightly slow. It may have been a busy day though and we did come slightly after the usual lunch times. We were seated close to other people though we could hear each other well. We ended up sharing a bunch of items, including the chicken curry, tofu and noodles. Everything was very good and unique. I particularly loved the noodles and curry. For anyone who is looking to come here, definitely do to try some unique foods.

    I have never had Laotian food so decided to try it my first night visiting Washington DC. The place has a great location and beautifully decorated. The vibe was so welcoming from the outside tables all the way to the inside decor, including the bathrooms. We came in on a Monday night and it was kind of busy, but we got seated fast and our waiter promptly greeted us. We ordered Jazmin Tea and a Cocktail called Banana Lagoon, very refreshing with the touch of mint. For food we ordered the Rockfish and Duck dish. We decided not to order appetizers because each dish looked quite big. What an amazing explosion of flavors. Duck was super tender and perfectly paired with a Thai Basil Salad. My husband's Fish was extremely delicious and tasty and nicely deocorated. Everything was perfect!

    Tonight we had the most terrible customer experience ever. We had a reservation at 6:30 and were told that we needed to wait because they were at capacity. There's a table with a reserved sign on it that has been empty for the 20 mins we have been waiting. Not sure why our table didn't get a reserved sign. It's 94 degrees outside and we aren't willing to sit out in that so we are stuck in no man's land waiting for these people to get to their act together. They said they would bring a patio table in for us and it's been sitting inside not set up for 15 mins. Asked to speak with a manager and they will not bring one over. If I didn't have out of town guests who wanted to eat here, I would leave.

    Phenomenal all around! Came here for lunch and loved the decor, great service, and array of options and flavors! They have a nice outdoor patio and spacious indoors with their Michelin recognitions subtly displayed and Laotian designs. Service was quick and friendly with great recommendations. The food was well-priced, well portioned, and full of flavors for different palates. The mango salad was a great mix of sweet and spicy and the pork shoulder is a must. Looking forward to coming back for more and to try their cocktails!

    Very cute vibe. The lemongrass drink was wonderful and so cute. My favorite was the curry chicken, although, I wish there was more sauce/curry, as that was the best part. The aged steak was also very tasty. Calamari was so-so. I also enjoyed the pandan coconut cake. Very unique flavors.

    Laotian dining experience in Northeast DC. Walkable from Union Station or NOMA. I drove, and LUCKED out on finding parking - as someone was leaving. Parking is hard to come by, at least close to the venue We started out with Calamalao (Calamari) which was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good. Especially the dipping sauce - wish I had this right now! I had the Wok Noodle, which was satisfying. I ended up taking most home with me. Flavorful My friend had the King of Mekong. This was good too. Piled high with flavorful sauce and nuts I also had the HOT Dalgona Coffee. This was okay. The Bathroom was GORGEOUS. Like a peaceful spa lol

    Second favorite Laotian restaurant in DC, but only because number one is untouchable lol. I usually come here with my partner and they have great vegetarian options. We got vegetarian spring rolls, flat noodles pad see ew, and larb this time around, and they were all great. I love the larb in particular as it has really great sour, spice, and salty flavors all packed into diy lettuce wraps. Service was also great as they have specific menus for vegetarians, and were able to accommodate all our dietary restrictions.

    The spice and curry flavors here are incredibly strong and well-balanced. We had the Northern Noodles and Chicken Curry, both tasted similar, lol. The Crispy Calamari was Fresh, crunchy, and tossed with plenty of herbs and onions. The grilled beef was salty and stiff, it wasn't my favorite of the three. The Atmosphere & Service The restaurant has a great, modern atmosphere--clean lines, warm wood tones, and a buzzy vibe that feels upscale yet welcoming. One thing to note is that the dishes didn't come with serving spoons, if it's not an oversight, then definitely not meant for sharing. It's always a plus when a restaurant pays attention to the details: the bathroom is spotless, which always speaks well of the overall management.

    Nice and clean restaurant with friendly staff. Their fried rice with pork was really good, so much flavor that work so well together and the cilantro just adds a good fresh taste. My co worker got same with chicken and loved that. The beef strips were ok, a little dry and not much flavor. Only issue is that it's a little expensive. But the food is legit.

    Fancy Laotian restaurant but the tables are placed quite close together. We had a reservation and the restaurant wasn't full at the time but they placed us next to another party. I would prefer if they spaced people put. I was excited to try this restaurant however one dish was good while the other was disappointing. I had the fried red snapper which was delicious. My partner had the khao poon pla (fish curry). It tasted watery and was not spicy at all despite the spice warning. Not as rich and full bodied as I expected. It has a strong lemongrass flavor. Not a fan.

I also swapped my regular fries for truffle fries, which were a great choice. My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken with biscuits and got the sausage gravy on the side. The chicken was fried perfectly with a nice crunch, the biscuits were soft, and the sausage gravy was so good you could honestly eat it by itself. My daughter got the mac and cheese with a side of fruit and cleaned her plate.. no crumbs left! I'd definitely come back, especially to try their breakfast/brunch since they serve it all day.

We stumbled upon this new restaurant on the H Street corridor 8th street--a neighborhood that can feel a bit rough around the edges--but what we found inside was nothing short of a true gem. The moment we stepped in, we were stunned by how beautifully designed the space is. The décor feels warm, elegant, and thoughtfully curated, offering a calm retreat from the busy street outside. But the real magic arrives on the plate. Every dish we tried showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients, layered flavors, and a clear respect for the rich culinary heritage of the Ottoman and Istanbul royal family traditions. You can taste the care and legacy behind every recipe. This is not just another brunch spot--it's a place where history, culture, and freshness come together in a way that feels both authentic and elevated. They have both the upstairs and downstairs of the building. Upstairs is a great social gathering with a bartender and the back patio is nicely renovated that can host pet in the summer months. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely proud of what the restaurant offers. It's rare to find a place that surprises you in all the right ways, but Tiffany's Bistro & Bar does exactly that. A beautiful concept, executed with heart. We can't wait to come back.

When one thinks of a biscuit they think of a fluffy savory item that is a least the size of your palm. These "biscuits" were a joke! Hard as a rock and the size of a cracker!!! Either change the description on the menu or reduce the price significantly- heck do both!! Then the main items came out- we were there for brunch. We asked for over easy eggs, and all the eggs came out overcooked. The sausage was burnt to a crisp and lacked flavor. Given this is a Mediterranean cuisine the flavor should be popping! We had to send the food back at that point! The food that was returned back to us was not any better. This place had potential but the chef really needs to reevaluate his menu items and the final dish that is served to patrons. Would t not recommend.

I went on a Monday before noon so it wasn't really busy. I will say the space is really open and modern which I liked and it's located within the Waterfront. My friend and I ordered a few dishes to share: Biscuits, Shrimp and Grits, and the Berry French Toast. Only one biscuit was soft and fluffy. The other was pretty dry and hard so we didn't finish it. The honey butter (I believe) was light and did compliment the biscuit very well. I just wished we could've enjoyed the same consistency across the two biscuits we ordered. The shrimp and grits was a solid portion. They didn't skimp on the jumbo shrimp or the sausage and this is definitely a dish you can share. I thought it was a little too salty for my taste but again, the meat in this dish was seasoned well. They used challah bread for their french toast which made it nice and dough-y. I thought this was the best dish that we ordered and again, can definitely be shared between two people. It's sweet on it's own, so if you don't have that extra sweet tooth, you won't need to add the syrup. I'd like to try this place again the next time I'm in town and maybe try out their mimosas and other entrees.
