With that being said, the MLK Sea & Soul location is the Holy Grail of Carolina Kitchen's !! ( My first time eating here ) Their service is top notch and very engaging from the moment you walk through the door ( all smiles and ready to assist ) and when I say, the food is absolutely delicious... I mean from the presentation to the tenderness of the short tip beef ribs I was absolutely beside myself ( I actually did a 2 step after I ate the first rib and creole style rice ) Right now I'm planning my second visit to this particular location... but this time I want to dine in with the family, because the restaurant seating area seemed bubbly and full of life !! Plus I want to take my taste buds off land ( soul ) and venture into the Sea portion of the menu.

The atmosphere was absolutely…read morecaptivating from the rich aroma of the food to how warm and welcoming the owner Vivien and her husband Luke were. Both of the musubis tasted absolutely delicious. I was especially fond of the way the rice is so crisp and toasty on the outside, covered in rich seasonings and toppings and yet is so soft and goey on the inside. The multitude of flavors and textures compliment each other very well and it's clear that each dish is a meticulously hand crafted labor of love. The plating of it all was also beautifully done, from the seasme seeds to the sauce drizzle it all was very elegant looking. Overall if I had to describe the experience it was like eating a dish with the authenticity of a home cooked meal but with a chic and elevated look. 10/10 would buy again and I can't wait to see what else Lei Musubi has in store for the future!

I'm so happy I did because if I could describe the overall taste and quality, it's "the cousin who cooks family dinner with the flavor of our Auntie's, but the technique and health-consciousness of a well trained chef" kind of deal lol. Everything was so delicious! I had the green beans , mashed potato, candied yams, and jerk lamb meatloaf. So you're aware, the food is made to order so it's perfect when you're planning ahead for lunch or dinner. They also deliver! (Ask for details dep. on your area). The chef was so, so nice! It's an honor to support her business! All of the vegetables tasted like they were farm-fresh--nothing was frozen! The green beans were expertly cooked with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions. The best green beans ever! I would love to get these again! The mashed potatoes were so creamy and the yams were nice and sweet, but not too, too sweet. They were perfectly balanced and had the best texture! The meatloaf was made with all of the love in the world! Now, since it has lamb, the flavor is very, very prominent. I'm not really a big meat person but this was a cool touch, and I'll try anything once! If you're a huge fan of lamb, I recommend it. I loved how there was gravy at the bottom and the traditional tomato based topping on top! I shared with my brother when he came to visit, he tore it all up! Lol. I would definitely order from Auntie's again. I saw that a friend follows the chef on social media and she absolutely loves Auntie's, too! Shame on me for putting this delicious food on a paper plate, but last night I had come home from dance class and had to eat immediately lol.

I love that you can get all flats if you don't like drumsticks and it's just a dollar or so extra. Also you can specify crispy or even better extra crispy which we did and they were perfect.

The honey old bay was especially delicious. Such a great find! We'll be ordering again for sure!

They definitely give you large portions, so you really get your money's worth here. I've tried a few seafood spots around, but this one is my go-to.

3.5 stars with the long wait. 4 stars if there was no wait…read more If you're wondering if the long line is worth the wait, I would say not really. The burger and fries were really good, but I would wait for the hype to go down before going back. It's pretty pricey and the fries are separate. The sauce is a regular smash burger sauce and everything tasted good, but the combination of the long wait and the price was a little bit of a let down. They had a really good system going to keep the line moving and I thankfully only had to wait about 45 minutes total. Everyone was working hard and the line moved consistently, but the hype was just too much for what I experienced. There's seating inside but it's pretty limited. I like the location though because it's close to my gym and encourages me to burn more calories so I can treat myself.

The crust was airy crunchy with the perfect bite. Savory tomato sauce and just the right amount of cheese. The cupped charred and large portions of pepperoni hit the spot . It was a very good pie. The brussel sprouts with added goat cheese & balsamic was the ideal pairing and we really enjoyed both. I didn't rate it a five not because of the food but the charge extra for " dipping " sauce. I would rather pay a little more and have sauces available if you want. Small dipping portions of course. All in all it was a tasty . Thank you

You order at the end, and find a seat. Your name is called and you pick up at the side counter. The dining area has plenty of seating, a private room looks available to reserve? Dining area & restrooms are bright, clean and inviting. My brother ordered fried fish with a chicken wing,, cabbage and sweet potatoes. He loved the fish & chicken- well seasoned without feeling your blood pressure rise as you indulged- LOL. The sides were good. I did the smothered porkchops - WOW, best that I have had - really enjoyed the main entrée and my sides (greens, black-eye peas). Both meals came with cornbread (another option was a biscuit). I have to say the food, the Staff and the establishment has been my best taste of southern cooking in the DMV area. I ordered chicken wings (6) to go for wife & I to enjoy later. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back - The smothered chops are calling me already. Lunch for two with a take home order of wings & 2 deserts plus tip was around $100.

Been to the old location…read more Been to the new location. I don't get the hype. The food is basic at best. The fish (catfish and croaker) always tastes like it's been fried in grease that needs changing. There's no flavor profile in the food which is weird for a soul-food restaurant. The mixed veggies were absolutely disgusting-- gave them back. I paid $65 for fried catfish with two sides, fried croaker with two sides, a cookie and two drinks---and sadly, the only thing that was sort of worth it was the cornbread, but it tastes like it has coconut in it. I hate coconut. The item that was the most flavorful for me was the black eyed peas/hoppin John (minus the big pieces of fatty meat in them).
