    Chicken rice bowl with corn, beans and lettuce.
    Henriette K.

    The chicken rice bowl, with corn, beans and lettuce was really good. $10 is definitely a lot, but I guess that's your average food truck price. The bbq sauce was my highlight though: great flavor, more sweet than spicy, and worked really well with the salad. Love it. My only complaint is: I wish they would have left the skin on the chicken. Or maybe ask - because I love rotisserie chicken with broiled skin. Maybe next time.

    I got a half chicken today. These guys are very friendly, and this is some of the best chicken that I've had. It's hard to make chicken taste outstanding, but these guys get it. Think - Super Chicken but even better. The spicy mango sauce (I believe?) was outstanding and the basil coleslaw was some of the best that I've had. $11 for a half chicken is a bit pricey, but that's food trucks for you.

    This is a great no frills food truck that does only thing but it does it really well. I ordered the half chicken which comes with rice and one side. The chicken is very well seasoned with traditional latin american spices and the skin is golden crispy goodness. The white meat was moist and tender and the dark meat not overcooked. The basil garlic cole slaw is refreshing and light. If you are a peruvian style chicken fan then dont pass by this truck without stopping.

    Ooh Dat Chicken is Ooh so delicious!! I look for a few things when I eat at food trucks Quality, Cleanliness, customer service, and Quantity and let me just say Ooh Dat delivers on all!! I love when they are walking distance to me however I don't hesitate to drive to their location as well, its so worth it! The Tacos, the Chicken, the Sides, always fresh and delicious and no, I am in no way affiliated with this truck I just love a good meal :-) if you have never tried them be sure to check them out you won't be disappointed. BTW have the sauce

    By far one of the best food trucks in DC whenever it's nearby I go out and get it, even if I can't feel my fingers. Worth it.

While this…read morelocation is my personal favorite, you really can't go wrong with any of their locations across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. This Black-owned restaurant has built a reputation for serving some of the best fried chicken sandwiches in the area, and after one visit, it's easy to understand the hype. The Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich deserves every bit of praise it gets -- perfectly crispy chicken, soft bread, and that sweet/spicy balance that keeps you coming back. The OG Nashville sandwich is another standout if you like heat with real flavor behind it. Their tenders are always juicy, the fries are seasoned well, and the Rooster Sauce should honestly be bottled and sold separately. Breakfast is also severely underrated here. The honey butter biscuit and chicken biscuit are easily some of the best breakfast sandwiches in DC. What I appreciate most is the consistency. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and cooked to order. Portion sizes are generous, and even online reviewers constantly mention how flavorful the sandwiches are and how the fries alone can feed multiple people. The DMV definitely supports this place for a reason. Reddit threads regularly call it one of the best chicken sandwich spots in DC, with people saying the Honey Butter sandwich is "life changing" and even comparing it favorably against national chains. If you're visiting U Street and craving comfort food done right, Roaming Rooster absolutely deserves a stop.

    This was my first visit to Nando's in downtown DC. I ordered the half chicken with no sides, and…read moremedium spicy sauce. The chicken came out with blackened edges because of their preparation method. I don't prefer that taste, but others may. I did not find the sauce to be particularly spicy so I added the 'extra hot' sauce on the side, which helped to add more flavor. Surprisingly, the chicken breast was very moist, along with the thigh. The ambience is casual and relaxed. There are plenty circular or modular seats along with smaller tables along the back end of the restaurant. My biggest complaint was their restrooms. They have gender neutral restrooms; two stalls total. Both restrooms were in great need of cleaning with a LOT of bodily fluids all along the toilets and floors. Also, there was no option for hand towels, only an air blower to dry your hands, which is one of the most disgusting ways to dry freshly washed hands. I recommend either creating one male and one female stall instead of unisex because men and women have very different habits in the restroom. On the positive side, Carolina and Barian were quite helpful and kind. They made the overall experience better.

    I visited Nando's PERi-PERi for dinner on July 8, 2026, around 7:00 p.m. with a group of eight. A…read morefew of us were first-time visitors, so after being seated, we waited for someone to take our order. Unfortunately, the hostess never mentioned that we needed to order at the counter. There was a sign, but it wasn't very noticeable when we walked in, so we completely missed it. A quick explanation when we were seated would have made a much better first impression. Once we realized how ordering worked, everyone went to the counter. I ordered last, but my meal was fairly simple: The Wingman (6 wings with PERi Chips and PERi-PERi ranch) plus a side of rice from the kids' menu. Everyone else received their food, ate, and finished before my order ever came out. To the staff's credit, one employee noticed I still hadn't been served and appeared to rush my order. When my food finally arrived, I was disappointed to find one of my six wings was so small and burnt that it wasn't edible (see photo). Some of the other chicken served to our table was also a little over-charred. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the lavender lemonade, and I liked the variety of PERi-PERi sauces available to customize the flavor and heat level. Overall, the experience had some service and food quality issues, but there were enough positives that I'd be willing to give Nando's another try. Hopefully, the next visit will be smoother.

This is definitely a hole in the wall-type restaurant. The exterior isn't great, and honestly the inside isn't much either. There's no place to sit, you come to order your food and go- but the service and quality of the food more than make up for it. We ordered an XL order of soy garlic wings (20 pieces) and a M order of honey spicy (10 pieces) and it was more than enough for 6 people. The crunch and flavor were TOP. I heard great things about the honey lemon pepper wings only after we placed our order, but unfortunately we didn't get to order any. I also have to shout out the employee that took our order. He was so friendly to us and also threw in extra sauces and Oreos when he saw we were celebrating my bachelorette. That extra touch of customer service made our visit here memorable. I'll be back to try the honey lemon pepper soon! - Ambiance: 3/5 - Food: 5+/5 - Service: 5++/5
