It was delicious a little dangerously delicious if you know what I mean. The calamari was a little overcooked for me. Next we went to Mosaico and let me tell you that Perro Caraqueño was GAS!! I hate mustard and I couldn't imagine this hot dog not having it. 10000/10 I wish I would have gotten two but this was the warm up for dinner. We ate in the dining area on one of the couches. I love how you can get food from a couple different spots & lounge together.

It was nice and the coconut cream offered a nice level of sweetness, but it had too much ice for the price of the drink. The staff were super helpful and kind as they made me an item that was listed on the online menu, but not their physical in person menu. Shout to them! It is a nice spot located inside of a food hall which gives you chances to hop around and try other items. It is cozy, but offers a decent amount of space and seating for larger groups.

We ordered and everyone enjoyed their food. It wasn't the best but it was good! I have to add this is in Chinatown so if you order Chinese is authentic. The downfall here is the seating situation is limited, and the bathrooms are nasty. Overall the service at the counter was good. NOW I'm sorry there are no pics! However do not, I repeat DO NOT leave here without getting a doughnut in a container. There are in the pastry section right by the register. You won't regret it!!! You're welcome.

The food was quick to get and decent quality, although a little overpriced considering how low key the place is. I visited on a Thursday around 6 PM. The place has a bar and bakery near the front, which I didn't check out. In the back are ~5 food stalls and each has signs for different vendors, but in reality it didn't seem like all the vendors were still operating. It was hard to tell because all the stalls share the same menu and you order from the same place (two tablets near the front). Tonkotsu Ramen (~$16) and Scallion Pancakes with Beef (~$11). They were prepared quickly. I expected the pancakes to be twice as large for the price. They tasted fine, I liked them. The ramen was served with broth on the side and came with pork, eggs, corn, bean sprouts, and a few other bits. It was pretty good but nothing special.

I felt safe here since there were national guardsmen strolling the station. There are 30 eateries here and we ended up having lunch at Shake Shack, indulging in ice cream at Van Leeuwen, chocolates from Laderach and coffee at Blue Bottle Coffee. I like how the station also has 30 retail shops. Happy I visited Union Station and I recommend seeing this architectural marvel.

Union Station is a beautiful historical building. It is a travel hub in the city (Marc train,…read moreAmtrak, metro). You can always get a taxi out front if you aren't getting an Uber. I am crossing my fingers that Union Station will get itself together. Outside of attending a handful of events (there is a lot of space due to store/restaurant closures) I don't visit this area frequently anymore. If I take metro at night, I use Chinatown or Convention Center metro. Amtrak had too many incidents with homeless people attacking employees. As a result, all of the seating located in front of each boarding area has been removed. There is a seating area (with security) if you have a boarding pass. The beautiful wooden benches that used to be in the grand hall are gone. My favorite stores are gone. The parking garage has limited spaces & is confusing. The rental area (I have never successfully gotten someone on the phone who could tell me rental prices or what cars were available) takes up lots of spaces now. The food court isn't the same. We used to love visiting and trying one of the kiosks. The places keep going out of business. If you visit the food court, have a fanny pack or sling back purse. Between aggressive pigeons or people asking for money, the experience isn't as enjoyable. Unos is still there. If you need to grab a bite, you won't be bothered by the riff raff there. The circulator buses are all gone, due to budget cuts. They were a wonderful convenience. I hope that things will change. Union Station has an expansion project that should be completed by 2040. Some improvements are starting construction in 2027. That doesn't help anyone now. The halls are beautiful. The statues are photo worthy. The postal museum is directly across the street. Capitol Hill is nearby. This building is a treasure. I'm rooting for it.

I went with the kimchi crunch bowl and it was tasty and a filling lunch for a reasonable price. The chicken was nicely seasoned and the purple rice and glass noodles were a nice base. The vegetables were fresh and everything went well together. I opted to dine in and they were doing a brisk takeout business on a weekday at lunchtime, but the line never got too long. The dining area is comfortable and reasonably large. Heads up that the bathrooms are locked and you'll need a code. I'd recommend asking for that when you pay for your food to avoid having to get back in line to get the code, hoping that they remember you are a customer and did buy food.

I immediately knew I wanted to try the Rainbow soup dumplings. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the different flavors. The order took a little time to come out (nothing too crazy) but when they did, the dumplings were hot and ready! To be honest I enjoyed each flavor, but if I had to pick I would choose both the shrimp & zucchini and the black truffle dumplings. So glad we found this spot!

The Kobe baller was another standout. The scallops were also fantastic. Such a yummy meal! Highly recommend! We will definitely be back.

But honestly, the experience didn't quite live up to the hype. My sister enjoyed her drink, but the rock shrimp was a letdown. It tasted overly oily with barely any sauce. We were hungry, so we didn't send it back, but it definitely wasn't worth it. The sushi overall was just okay, which was surprising--I expected it to be amazing. That said, my last tuna roll (can't remember the exact name) was actually really good--about an 8.5/10. The service was decent. Q made sure we were taken care of, but he did seem a bit annoyed by some of our questions. We asked about the 4% wellness charge since we'd never seen that before (and I consider myself a foodie). Apparently, it goes toward health and medical benefits, which is different from the usual service charge. I will say, the space itself is beautiful with a very relaxed vibe. I also had no idea there was an upstairs, which was a nice surprise.
