I think this is worth your time if you're looking for a neat place to eat. Just stumbled into it on a visit to DC. Helps if you thoughtfully look at the meal slip and ask a question from a local who knows the place. The food was fun and good, and I think you could really get to have a favorite if you tried a few different things. I had the Raman, teriyaki, kilbab I think it was called. It was one of the signature bowls. I would eat it again, but might swap miso broth for clear broth. My companion liked hers (different noodle bowl), but got a bite of something hot at the end, and was not happy for a couple minutes, but that kind of thing does happen. read more

First of all, I'm not used to ordering Korean food. I have had Bimbimbap but it was tasty at the other place. But considering we are fairly new, we were hoping to get help to know how to order. The man helping was not helpful, and he seemed impatient, so our dishes were not very tasty because I felt rushed. We got the bulgogi meat choice with teriyaki sauce on top. I also mentioned I don't like spice and they put a big blob of kimchi in our rice bowl. He said it wasn't very spicy. So after I scooped out the kimchi, (sorry kimchi lovers!) I mixed it all in and ate all I could only because I was starving. So My rice was soggy probably because of the juicy kimchi I didn't want and I ordered brown rice with is not my favorite but I was trying to be kind to my husband because originally we were going to share. The noodle soup was not very good either. But to be fair I don't like miso soup, and the other choice of broth didn't sound good either. It had dried anchovies in it. No thanks. So again, I ate the rice bowl, thanks to my husband! I didn't even take pictures of my food. I stressed my poor husband out too because he was desperately trying to make my birthday trip amazing. It has been amazing and I was the one who picked the place. I had to remind him of that. Lol! Needless to say, we won't be going back. read more

Just off of the national mall green space and a short walk from the capital building, this place is a great retreat. You enter the larger building space and find this restaurant on the west side of it. There is bar style seating inside and a ton of picnic benches outside with umbrellas for cover. When you enter the restaurant there are paper menus for you to write your custom order on. The assembly line then constructs the meal to your specifications. If you don't want a custom rice or noodle bowl then you can also select a house special that cover a variety of proteins. This place is very good and covers a lot of diet types including vegetarian. Everything tasted fresh and it was nice to find a place where every dish wasn't fried. read more

Rice bar is a DC chain with fast casual chipotle style DIY noodle and bibimbap bowls. I split both a noodle bowl and bibimbap bowl with my partner. Overall, I wasn't super impressed with the taste or portions here. There's not a ton of food options in this are at this price point ($10-15), but I likely wouldn't come back here. The noodle bowl ($8) was very average - miso broth was mediocre at best, kalbi was tough and pricey (+$4) for the amount of meat we got. Came with a good amount of noodles. Was decently filling because of the broth, but not an overly large portion. The bibimbap bowl was tiny, granted the price started around $7 with no meats. We got the bulgogi on this one (+$3), which was actually pretty tasty. Rice and veggie sides were tiny tiny scoops, definitely wouldn't be filling if I ate this alone. read more

Stopped by this spot for a quick lunch. Tons of options to choose from and all flavorful. They are setup like a cafeteria-style restaurant but you have the option to order as you go or use the paper menu options to mark what you want and hand it to the worker instead. Customer service is nice and they are helpful when you have questions. There is space to eat but can get scarce during high traffic times. I took my lunch to go but I would eat inside in the future. It is bright and open. There are condiments off to the side to add to your dish after it is prepared. The only thing that was a hit for me was pricing. You can run a tab up pretty quickly depending on protein and toppings but they also offer specials, too. read more

The food is good, and the service as well. I like how they make it as easy as possible to order by just checking boxes in a piece of paper and handing it to the person working the bar. I think the protein was super expensive since you are already purchasing an expensive bowl, so I didn't get any. Also, people who went with me felt that it wasn't worth the elevated costs. I felt the rice bowl in particularly had too little rice for my liking, I would have wanted a little bit more. read more

There's definitely a reason why Da Hong Pao Restaurant is always booked and busy…read more The food was absolutely amazing--you can really tell it's authentic Chinese cuisine. They were also able to accommodate a group of about 18 of my family members and me, which was a huge plus! The service was excellent as well; the staff consistently checked in to make sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend!

I came in for the dim sum. The place was empty which is rare. I sat at the bar and was greeted…read moreimmediately but I wasn't given instructions on how to order the dim sum and as a first timer, I was kind of stuck. The staff answered my questions quickly and took my order. I had the Chinese broccoli, soup dumpling and salt and pepper squid. The Chinese Broccoli wasn't good at all. Very bland and I didn't really like the oyster sauce. The soup dumplings were good. Not anything to write home about, but I'd order them again. The squid was really flavorful and it was a good portion. I also had a giant pot of oolong tea which was delicious. They take Apple Pay as well and for less than $40 it wasn't a bad lunch. I'll be back to give it another shot for dinner.

Not strong miso flavor that hurts your throat, but still has that umami flavor. Place can get packed especially at dinner. But quick turnaround. Can be a group or solo.

The toilet lid and the movie poster were very amusing. The ambience was lovely. The wait time was about 10 minutes during this past Sunday. The server was friendly.

Tender lamb, that signature cumin-chili heat, noodles with the perfect chew and pull. Quality is identical to New York -- and somehow $1.50 cheaper. Pickup is surprisingly seamless: park in the alley behind two convenience stores (tight but manageable), then tap a link in your text confirmation to pop open a designated locker with your order inside. No counter, no waiting around. Bonus: about four other ghost kitchen restaurants share the space, so you can mix and match cuisines in one order.

Had no idea that this was just a pickup spot, but I was already on my way so it was too late to…read moreback out. I have had this place on my list for a while and I'm glad I tried it! I got the lamb hand pulled noodles and the lamb dumplings. The dumplings are A1 and a must, they are flavorful, have the right level of spice and are pretty filling on their own. The noodles are yummy too but not as memorable. The price point on each was actually very economical. I wish that the place offered a sit down option, but the food was very hot and travels well. They won't give you utensils or napkins on their own so make sure you ask for some if you plan on eating it right away!!
