    It was pretty solid. Not exactly what I was expecting but still tasty. Just make sure to get what you order.

    It's probably been at least 20 years since I visited the original Ben's Chili Bowl in DC. When I…read moresaw it here at the airport I felt like I had to refresh my memory and see if it's as good as I remembered. The gentleman working the register doing the order taking was very friendly and helpful. The decor is pretty cool, comprised mostly of collages of photos taken over the years at the original Ben's, many featuring prominent historical figures. The spicy half smoke with onions and mustard was pretty tasty. I actually really liked the bite it had. The fries were okay, nothing special, and not a very substantial serving for the price. The girls working the grill and calling out numbers, handing out food were not friendly, nor were they helpful at all. Overall, not a bad experience. I won't hesitate to order a spicy half smoke in the future if I'm in the vicinity of Ben's Chili Bowl.

    DC and Ben's go hand in hand. We don't get to Ben's on every trip to DC and it makes us sad. But…read morethat's ok because we can hit them up at DCA! Been to this location a few times and they get busy. The food and service never suffer. Ben's has been around since the 50s with the very first location on Black Broadway (now U Street). They do more than just chili: burgers, dogs, fries, salads, and other sandwiches. The milkshakes are killer and super thick. You can't go wrong with a bowl of chili or a chili dog, chili burger, or chili fries. My boyfriend LOVES the half smokes (hot dog that's made of a beef and pork mixture). It's more like a sausage. It's easy to see why he loves them so much...it's because they're delicious. Next time you're flying in and out of DCA, check them out.

    For lunch this past Sunday, a few of us stopped by Paramount Cafe since they actually have 卤肉饭…read more(Taiwanese braised pork over rice) here. Who knew that there would be a cafe in Pentagon City with this option? The interior is a bit cramped with many cardboard boxes piling up. We were able to order the food at the counter and waited about 5-10 minutes before the food was ready. BRAISED PORK OVER RICE (卤肉饭) - 15.49 Lots of rice, more rice than I could finish with the amount of braised pork belly they give. The pork was very fatty, which made it tasty and juicy, but it wasn't very saucy. There were two halves of a bokchoy and half of an incredibly boiled egg, which was meh. Still, I finished all the toppings and maybe a little less than half of the rice. I was full, but $15.49 for the food was not worth it. Overall, 3.5/5 but bump it to a 4/5 since there's a scarcity of food like this in the area. They sell other comfort Asian dishes too, like coconut chicken cutlet rice and Japanese eel rice.

With an impressively high Yelp rating, I was disappointed to hear the new owners say the glowing reviews are from the previous owner (though I respect the honesty). Despite that, we really enjoyed our visit. The new owners live up to the legacy. First of all, the service is excellent. An older man makes the food and who I assume is his daughter takes the orders. Both are kind. At the end, she gave my daughter a granola bar for free. The menu is a mix of Korean food and the small market in the back sells Korean products and more. It's very fun to browse and pick up some snacks and treats. My daughter loved the juicy grape fruit snacks. To eat, we ordered the Japanese curry and milk tea. Both were full of flavor and made with love. "This is my new favorite meal of all time," said my daughter. She devoured the bowl herself! There's a small parking lot in front of the cafe. It's within walking distance from the Crystal City Metro.

Burgers were top notch. I still love all the condiments available. And the guys behind the counter were putting out some stellar food. Bathrooms were lacking a bit but not going to stop me from visiting. I'll always support Good Stuff Eatery. Much love.

I'm sure multiple groups can fit. To my surprised there is a pizza spot also inside. I went to the counter to order my food and the guys were nice. I ordered the bacon farmhouse burger along with a large Cajun bayou fries. They gave me a buzzer which surprised me while I waited. About 10 minutes went buy and my food arrived. The Cajun fries were good. The Cajun spice didn't hit like I thought it would so I added some salt. It is a great size portion and they were nicely hot. The burger I received had the bread tie at the bottom of the burger. Luckily I caught it before I took a bite. I also noticed a long strand of hair as well. I was a bit disappointed. The burger was "ok" but nothing great. Overall this is a cool spot for a burger and fries. Not overly priced like some places.

    This spot is okay for a late night bite, but I wouldn't recommend it for chicken if you're…read moreexpecting something similar to Nando's. When you order the chicken, you can choose the level of spiciness you can want, but it's not a big deal since the chicken isn't prepared in the sauce, it's given to you in dipping packets. I found the chicken itself to be dry, so I wouldn't suggest it to anyone, but their menu is so extensive (I think 2-3 different restaurants operate out of the same building) that I wouldn't rule out coming back to try something else especially if it's late at night. The restaurant itself was interesting because at first appearance you'll think it's a fast-casual spot, but the furniture looks like it's from a lounge. Nothing bad, just interesting. The staff were friendly and the food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time.

Decided to try the peri chicken strip salad. The server at the counter was super friendly and helpful when I needed to decide what seasoning I wanted on my chicken. And she offered to put the salad dressing on the side since I am taking my order to go. I sat at. A booth while I waited and the furniture was pretty comfy. I was blown away by my salad. There were probably 5 chicken strips (grilled chicken breast tenders) covering the entire top of the salad. The marinade (lemon and herbs) created enough of a sauce that I didn't need dressing. Salad included olives, tomatoes and cucumbers sort of like a greek salad.
