The omelette was especially good--light, fluffy, and finished with a nice touch of salt and chives. Their hot sauce was amazing too, and I loved it on the eggs. One thing I really appreciated was their $35 prix-fixe-style option, where you can choose as many items from the menu as you want and they serve them in smaller portions. That was such a great option, especially for an expensive DC brunch, because it let me try several things without committing to full-size entrées. The bread basket was also tasty, and overall the food and experience were great. I did remove one star because I indicated that I cannot have fresh garlic due to a dietary intolerance, but some of the bread contained visible pieces of fresh garlic. Unfortunately, I had already eaten some before realizing it. I know accommodations can be difficult, but I would have appreciated a heads-up about which items contained fresh garlic so I could avoid them.

The dishes are small and $8-$12/dish and meant to be sharing. There's also a bottomless dinner and brunch option as well. At the end of the meal, I realized all of the prices ended in "22", lol. The walls are adjourned with paintings by local artists that you can purchase ranging from $300 to $10K! The Almond Pesto Mushroom Pan Pizza was the stand-out dish of the night, it was bursting with flavor in every bite! The Street Corn Pan Pizza was fun to try, but the mushroom was my pick. It's owned by the same parent company as Mia's Italian Restaurant in Alexandria with the same delicious rectangle pan pizzas. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Granola was another favorite (although I would have opted out of the sweet granola). The crispy Potatoes were very tasty. The Green Papaya Salad had a spicy kick! My friends enjoyed the Pork and Shrimp Lumpias, Dan Dan Noodles with bulgogi sausage, and Chicken Skewers. The Waterscape cocktail with watermelon juice was very Mezcal forward. I wish it was a bit more balanced. I wasn't a fan of the Strawberry Fields Mocktail with fresh strawberry and pineapple juice. It reminded me of Sex on the Beach and way to sweet, didn't pair well with dinner. The Mocha Parfait was a sweet ending to our meal with very moist cake and whipped cream topped with 2 coffee beans. There was less mocha that expected, but enjoyable dessert. Really enjoyed the food and pizza and will be back when I'm in the area!

We visited during Restaurant Week and paid $40 per person for the three-course menu. My risotto was extremely undercooked--so much so that it felt like I was eating individual rice kernels rather than properly prepared risotto. I am originally from Italy and was excited to eat beetroot risotto. The flavors were great but I could not finish it as it was uncooked. I considered sending it back, but since someone else was treating me to dinner, I felt uncomfortable doing so. Unfortunately, this did not seem to be an isolated issue. The two tables on either side of us both sent their entrées back because their food was undercooked as well. Dessert was equally disappointing. The flourless chocolate cake was essentially a dense, triangular piece of batter covered in an extremely heavy chocolate topping. It was so rich and dense that it was difficult to eat.

While sitting at the bar I was amazed by their bourbon list (see my photo of their top shelf), which had a bunch of Buffalo Trace goodies like EH Taylor, Stagg, Weller -- the rainbow -- heck yeah!, Blaton's, and Eagle Rare. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but that select is hard to bean, especially with Celtic House down the street. We ordered a few appetizers including the summer roles and shrimp cakes, which were both really good. I also go a double toro appetizer, which was a chu toro nigiri paired with a salmon belly. It was outstanding and the chu toro was incredibly fresh and a nice, thick, and flavorful cut. I was also delighted by the price, which I think was only $18. The happy hour drinks deals are great and of course I had to pair my food with a cold singha. I am so glad we happened to drop in to Bangkok 54 and it was just as good, if not better than when we used to go back in the day. Now I definitely need to return for dinner soon.

We both ordered the Thai iced tea, and for the appetizer, I ordered the Tom Yum with shrimp soup while my brother had the duck roll. The lack of lemongrass was pronounced and so disappointing. My brother said his roll was very good. Our main dishes were drunken noodles with shrimp and the salmon society: salmon avocado rolls, salmon cucumber roll, salmon nigiri, and salmon sashimi. The drunken noodle dish and Society were okay, but the star of the entire dinner for me had to be the coconut ice cream on top of the mango and sticky rice. Wow! My first bite of the ice cream was heavenly, and the next spoonful of ice cream and mango and sticky rice pushed this dessert on top of everything that I had that night. The mango was very sweet, which went very well with the sticky rice and ice cream. Oh, so good! Service was good, and the ambiance was great. I would stop here again and will have one of favorite desserts, the coconut ice cream with mango and sticky rice.

Its a small quaint venue, but what was exceptional was the service from Melody our server. She was very animated and genuinely involved through the entire experience.

This place had fresh squeezed lemonade which was a win for beverage of pur child [not too sweet, and none of that crap from a bag to a machine]. My wife enjoyed the tea and yes, they had Jinro original soju which I appreciated. We ordered the pork belly, kalbi, and the wagyu. We added the radish and cheese corn. It was all great. I would have given it 5 stars for thw price, but what manager of a korean place let's something as integral as kimchi run out?!?!?! Mind boggling.

We went with the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and tried a little bit of everything--beef bulgogi, brisket, pork belly, skewers, kimchi, and more. We also added the A5 Wagyu and Wagyu fried rice. There was a TON of food, everything came out great, and the sauces were seriously on point. The AYCE was affordable and absolutely worth it. Beyond the food, the owner was incredibly welcoming, came over and talked with us, and genuinely seemed appreciative that we were there. We enjoyed it enough that we took food home and already know we'll be back. If you're in the Arlington area and looking for Korean BBQ, definitely give Pi BBQ & Bar a shot. Great food, great hospitality, and a local business worth supporting.

The hand rolls: big fan of classic Hokkaido Hotate! The spicy otoro and crunchy could do without the crunch imo.

The space is small. For our immediate family of four, it's manageable, but when my parents want to join us, finding comfortable seating becomes more complicated. 2. The portions don't justify the prices. In my opinion, this place is extremely expensive for what you get. Even the traditional hand rolls, which cost extra when cut because they include more food, are still essentially a single, simple roll. Paying $15-20 for one salmon avocado roll feels excessive for this area. 3. Outside of the sushi and raw fish selections, the rest of the menu is just okay. Those are definitely the highlights, but the other offerings haven't impressed me nearly as much. I continue to come here because it's literally a block from my house, and the quality of the sushi is hard to beat. However, convenience can only go so far when the prices are this high and the portions are this small. If there were a more affordable alternative nearby offering comparable quality, I would likely choose it instead.
