I was…read morein the mood for some sushi and maybe some ramen to go so just yelp a place close to me and this popped up. Easy access to a garage that's just around the corner because it is on a very busy street. So garage parking is a must. I don't believe they have been open too long as they are still working on their liquor license. Very cute restaurant nice and tidy but a lot of personality in a small space. I was greeted when I walked in and since I was by myself I opted to sit at the sushi bar area. I forgot to take a picture of my food when I came out because I was so hungry...but the rolls were delicious and fresh. I also took some ramen home and I loved how they packaged everything up for me. I would give them a 3.75 stars because I wish they offered more ramen like beef and with the chicken broth not chicken that's fried. As the chicken was soggy and not eatable when I got home even though it was separated from the ramen. I would give them another try if I'm in the area to try more rolls and their alcohol selection.

She had suggested going to hot pot. It was very good, but I felt the price was high, and was annoyed by having to pay for the parking although they validated but may have been a partial validation; I don't recall. It was still a cool experience, but my negatively spoiled what might've been a good date for us. Then, on Thursday, February 20, 2020, I was sick and was at IKEA taking something back. I said to my g/f on phone maybe getting hot pot would be good on my throat, which she enthusiastically said yes, and that'd I'd go back to this same place as it was good. The 2nd time was more enjoyable as I had familiarity going in. Once again, great food & cordial service.

The noodles tasted like Top Ramen. The katsu was decent- it was fried really well and the curry sauce was good. Our favorite by far was the chizu corn dog. What a cool item- so different and delicious! It was a bit annoying that even though the corn dog was quite pricey you were charged extra for a sauce. We also really enjoyed the Thai tea. Overall for the price, the experience was a huge disappointment- mostly because of the ramen.

My major contention with this experience is that our waiter, Zoe was inattentive and unprofessional. Our dessert arrived 5 minutes after receiving our dinner. I asked her if they could make our dessert fresh and her response was, how long will it take you to eat? To which I responded I don't know. It was an odd experience because most waiters are attentive enough to know when a table is ready for dessert or they simply ask. As I expected, by the time we received the fried ice cream, the plate looked sloppy and the ice cream on the inside was melted. It clearly was the same plate. Finally, while I was packing my dinner she seemed to recall she never brought me chili paste I had asked for during dinner. No apology or anything. Overall, it was a disappointing experience from a waiter who should be retrained.

Representing 2023 in alphabet series, N is for Northwest Chinese Food. This place made the Top 100…read morebest restaurants in Washingtonian. I happened to disagree and don't see the appeal. I like most other Chinese restaurants I've been to better, but this place has its unique flair and a different spin on Chinese food. This was overall a negative experience. In May 2023, I had a date, which included Northwest Chinese Food. I had met her way back in March 2021 from an online date. We didn't end up going out again. Then, shortly before this date I saw her at a hiking Meetup group, but we didn't remember each other initially. She seemed cool, and I got her phone number but realized her # was in my phone already and then remembered the March 2021 date where we walked in a park. In May 2023, it was the same kind of thing of meeting for a walk and came up with meeting at Lake Artemisia. It was actually a decent date at the lake, and we were discussing dinner. We were looking on phone weighing options. She had suggested I think Mission BBQ, but I said I literally had like a day earlier. Ultimately, she suggested Northwest Chinese saying that it was one of her favorites, and I was game to try. She had said that she didn't drive there since she lived in College Park and walked to the park, and I drove us to Northwest Chinese. I forgot to factor parking being a pain in central College Park, which I was annoyed. I don't like paying to park just to eat a meal. So, I put 1 hour in the meter, which limited our time at the restaurant but is enough time to eat. If we had gone with Mission BBQ or whatever not in central College Park, we could've stayed 2 hours if it had been good. I honestly might have nixed the Northwest Chinese idea. Even though it was close to 8 PM on a Wednesday night, the restaurant was quite busy and was a wait, which I didn't think would be on the later side on a Wednesday night. It's a small hole in the wall place. It was nicely decorated, but it's small & tight spacing with limited seating. We waited outside for 15-20 minutes. We got seated. I told the server right away we have 40 minutes left on the meter so that he was aware. The one positive was the server did do a good job respecting our time and was efficient coming around often with water, etc. We got our food in good time. But this was quite spicy and adversely affected the taste for me. The quality seemed pretty good, but because of all the spice, I didn't enjoy this meal. Additionally, it was loud in there, and I had to speak unnaturally loud to the server and was hard to hear in there. Further, we were very close to the table next to us, particularly could've joined in on their conversation. Afterwards, I drove her back home. But the dinner with the loudness, it was hard to keep much of conversation going, the time constraint of the parking, dealing with the spiciness, it ruined what had been a good date at the lake. Overall, this restaurant left a sour taste or really more accurately a spicy taste in my mouth.
