Delicious Curry...Just Wish There Was More of It!…read more After a weekend away, I wanted something good, warm, and comforting for dinner, so Thai food immediately came to mind. I've tried quite a few Thai spots around DC, but this was my first time ordering from TipThai. I went with the red curry with chicken, and it was REALLY delicious! The curry was flavorful, rich, and exactly the comfort meal I was looking for. I also love that they let you choose your spice level -- mild, medium, hot, or extra hot. I ordered mine hot, and it was perfect! Definitely had some heat, but not so much that it overpowered the flavor of the curry. My only real complaint was the portion size. The price was comparable to other Thai restaurants in the area, but the amount of food definitely wasn't. The portion was noticeably smaller than pretty much every other red curry I've ordered locally, which was disappointing considering the price. That said, the curry itself tasted so good that I'm definitely interested in trying some of their other menu items. I just worry that the smaller portions may be consistent across the menu. Overall, TipThai nailed the flavor and spice level -- I just need them to be a little more generous with the portions!

I don't really want any more people to know about the most gorgeous coffee place in DC!…read more On a Sunday afternoon it was easy to find a table. The soaring windows and arched room were amazing. Coffee was good, but they can't heat up croissants so I would stay away from those. Friendly service, a stop on the museum shop on the way out, and a peek into the exhibitions made this really cool. Go along 2nd street and enter through the Folger's pretty back garden - you'll walk by by inscriptions of a Rita Dove poem in the garden. Check in at the desk and head upstairs. It's not the most convenient coffee shop but it's the most glorious!

Some of the best museum dining around! We got two of the fry breads - one with Brunswick stew…read more(pork, okra, and beans), and one with sour cherry compote, powdered sugar, and candied walnuts. Because it's the Smithsonian, the food isn't cheap but honestly, for the portions we got, it wasn't that bad. About $30 for both. And boy was it delicious! Both of them were fantastic and filling. The Brunswick stew was very tasty, and topped with lettuce, tomato, pickled red onions, cheese, and sour cream. The sweet fry bread with cheery compote, though?? Whoa yum. I would happily eaten that one all by myself. Enjoy the great museum and then eat some fabulous food at Mitsitam.

Unique Native American‑Inspired Dishes With Pleasant Views and Friendly Service…read more We arrived at the end of lunchtime, so we knew that some of the items may not be as "fresh" as they would have been around noon. The Café offers an interesting take on Native American cuisine. Everything we tried was prepared well, and the portions were substantial enough that splitting the Fry Bread Taco and a dessert would have been more than sufficient. The seating area provides a relaxing view of the outdoor water feature, adding to the overall experience. While the café can become loud when full, the atmosphere remains comfortable and enjoyable. Pros: * Menu - Creative menu featuring Native American‑inspired dishes with consistent quality * Food - Portions are generous, offering strong value for the price * Staff - Friendly and efficient service throughout the visit * Dining Area - Seating area overlooks an attractive outdoor water feature * What we had - Fry Bread Taco and dessert options are both filling and well‑prepared Cons: * Noise levels increase noticeably during peak times, though still manageable A distinctive and enjoyable dining option within the museum, offering flavorful dishes, generous portions, and a pleasant setting. A solid 4‑star experience.

Daikaya Ramen is an unassuming spot serving some seriously flavorful ramen in DC. If you're a ramen…read morelover, this place is definitely worth seeking out. We ordered the Spicy Miso with the spice bomb and egg, along with the veggie ramen with spice bomb. The Spicy Miso was the clear winner--easily one of the most flavorful ramen bowls I've had, with just the right kick and incredible depth. The veggie ramen was also excellent and a great option for vegetarians. We also tried the gyoza, spring rolls, and Sapporo beer. For dessert, we ordered the black sesame ice cream, but the ramen portions were so generous that we were too full to finish it! Service was quick, attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd want from a Japanese ramen spot--casual, lively, and unassuming. The food felt authentic and the flavors really stood out. They also have an izakaya upstairs, which we unfortunately didn't get a chance to try. Definitely saving that for the next visit!

They are pretty quick to turn over tables and get everyone seated. I got the MUGI-MISO with Nitamago and Bamboo, and a yuzu lemonade. Very tasty and my bowl came out quick. I thought it was slightly on the saltier side but didn't have any problems with my bowl. Flavor is rich and broth is silky. My dining buddy had a small delay with getting his bowl since there was a rush of people seated at the same time. Overall a solid ramen shop! I did notice that they do not yell "Irasshaimase!" at you upon arrival. It adds to the ambiance when they do that.

This meal was absolutely delicious! While in DC for a nearby convention, my friends and I were…read morecraving Thai food and came across this restaurant, and I'm so glad we did! The service was great, and the restaurant itself was really pretty and had such a nice atmosphere. We all got the mango frozen cocktails, and they were AMAZING; so refreshing, and honestly the perfect pairing with the food. Everyone in our group ordered something different, and everything we tried was so good. I got the Thai vermicelli, and it was absolutely delicious! I also got to try some of my friends' dishes, and everything was flavorful and really well done. I'm usually pretty nitpicky when it comes to coconut curry sauces, but it was so perfectly balanced and flavorful. It was easily some of the best Thai food I've had in the DMV (honestly!). No complaints whatsoever. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm in the area! :)

Amazing Thai food at this restaurant. Got the green mango Salad, chicken wings, khao soi, and beef…read morecurry. The mango salad was delicious, I could eat that all day. The khao soi had good flavor, and it came with rice. The chicken wings were for my son, he said they were the best wings he's ever had. The beef curry had good flavor, but the beef was a bit overcooked. Service was a little bit of a miss. When the waiter first came, he asked us for our food order. However, we wanted to order drinks first. I was able to order my cocktail, however, the waiter left before anyone else at my table could speak to order a beverage. Food came out very quickly. This is not the type of place where you would want to enjoy drinks and food over a period of time. However, if you are super hungry, your food will definitely get to you quickly. Restaurant was crowded, but not super loud. Overall, I would come back for the food, I just wish that I could have more time to enjoy my restaurant experience.

The food is consistently fresh, hot, and good, and the customer service is always great.

I usually have to order during work hours because by the time I'm off, they're already closed. Other than that, this is easily one of my favorite spots for Chinese food.

We ordered the grilled pork banh mi. They were generous in size with a good amount of meat and the French roll was perfectly toasty crusty. We were on bikes and there were racks conveniently outside. We had some trouble finding the entrance. The building concierge pointed us to the entrance but that entrance directed us outside to a different entrance. There was also the odd sign in the women's restroom not to flush toilet paper... meaning throw it in the trash? They were also doing work in the men's room involving hammers. Other than that the sandwiches were great and service was quick and we would go back when in the area.

The space is an enclosed patio and was fantastic. The French menu had so many amazing options it was hard to choose but the waiter was helpful in narrowing the choices and managing everyone's adjustments :) I had Salade Lyonnaise and the bacon on it was perfection, nicely sized so you got hearty bites. The red wine vinaigrette dressing was tangy but not overpowering and the poached egg was subtle. So glad we got to try this place before heading home to Oregon!
