2. Spicy Chicken Rice Bowl 2. Pan-Fried Chicken Dumpling
Shiva P.

Daily special came in clutch. 3 chicken dumplings with the sweet and sour sauce was delicious. The chicken rice bowl with spicy as my chosen level was good. Runny egg on the rice brought everything together, and it was a very solid meal altogether. Some more customization could be nice, but I can also appreciate the simplicity of a nice chicken rice bowl.

4. Vegetable Spring Rolls
John B.

There are some chain bubble tea places making their way into the District, but to find a place that really feels Chinese is notoriously hard in this town. This is a small restaurant with no apparent restroom that is basically a pickup window with a couple of seats indoors and outdoors, so plan accordingly. However, for someone in need of this service, they offer some good stuff. A menu special allowed me to get spring rolls and tea for a discount rate. The spring rolls were basic but good, and the tea (this one was just tea, no boba) delivered on flavor. Their food menu is basically protein over noodles, rice or salad. Ordering their spicy tofu and checking the box for maximum spiciness is no joke, as some crushed pepper on top of a robust red sauce showed me. And to top it off, this was a place where I could give a "Xiexie" and get a "bukeqi" in response (roughly translating to "thank you so much" and "you're too kind"). There's not a lot more variety here, but there have been many times when I wanted a place like this in the District and could not find one.

This is such a cute and warm space! The staff member who greeted me was very polite and welcoming. I got the matcha green tea with almond milk and it comes with boba. They also have a boba tea and spring roll special going on. I just got the tea because of food intolerances. The matcha was great. Not too sweet which was great. I think I'm used to sweeter tapioca pearls but it was good. Nice firmness, not mushy. They got my order out in under 10 minutes.

1. Pork Rice Bowl 卤肉饭

Good, honest homestyle Chinese cooking. Felt like I was home. The owner is kind and attentive. Food came out in minutes and was delicious. Would absolutely go back and order everything on the menu.

3. Five-Spice Beef Noodle Bowl (mixed up- slightly a bit salty but still very yummy)
Nikky L.

Very quick and welcoming experience from the owner of the restaurant. It's a small shop with a limited menu of boba tea, pan fried noodles, ramen, and dim sum snacks. I got the five spice beef noodle bow that came with an egg and mustard greens. So saucy! Love it. I'm not sure which region of china it comes from, but I love the flavours from the five spice and the chili. The beef could be more tender and I'd like it be a dash less salty, but it's a nice treat once in a while. I would still reorder. Classic boba tea-- I got the brown sugar with regular milk. Like I said-- classic. You can taste the tea and it's not too sweet. The restaurant is super tiny-- maybe 6 seats and a table outside. It's clean but it's more a quick spot to drink boba or eat quickly. It's easier to do takeout but I would definitely return!

4. Spicy Tofu Noodle Bowl 5. Thai Latte Bubble Tea
Kaitlyn S.

ran by a sweet, hardworking family in a prime location near Farragut west & DuPont circle, teashi is one of my go-to's for lunch and dinner carry-out. they have boba, bento boxes, and rice/noodle bowls. my go-to is the spicy tofu noodle bowl without egg (they are accommodating for vegetarians and vegans). the tofu has INCREDIBLE flavor and the bowl is garnished with pickled mustard greens and fresh crunchy lettuce. they also offer oat milk and almond milk substitutes for the milk tea options. my favorite boba is the thai tea highly recommend!

We were in the area and would like a quick bite but tasty that doesn't break the bank.. haha. Decided to try Teashi Cafe and opted in for one of the Today's Special. Def did not disappoint, very warming and friendly service, and our food came out in prob less than 10 mins, piping hot! Ordered Pork rice bowl special that comes with Mango Passion Fruit Tea for $12.95 +tax. Great portion and actually took half of it home. There are about 2 round tables inside and a couple more of bar seating against the wall but also with 2 outdoor tables. Overall great price for taste, amount and service for quick bite in the area.

1. Cha-Siu Pork Buns
Suzie Z.

Cosy little café run by a Chinese uncle who's very friendly. I passed by this spot once and saved it on Google maps and I have been meaning to head back to check it out. The lurou rice tastes a bit more like ground pork rice but the rest of the items are decent. If I stay/work in the area, I'd love to visit more often to check out other items on the menu.

Five Spicy Beef Noodle Bowl
Celina G.

They started in the GWU food court... and now they have a storefront! I had been to the university location twice and enjoyed the food. I was surprised recently to see they had moved a little off campus into a small spot. Some of the menu is the same, but the two items I got from them in the past weren't there. Their food focuses on rice and noodles bowls, soup, snacks, and drinks. I had the Five Spicy Beef Noodle Bowl. They ask for your preferred spice level and I went the highest they had. The presentation looked great with the toppings piled on top of the noodles. There was enough beef sauce to cover the whole portion of noodles. At the highest spice level, it was just right for me! I took my meal to-go, but if I needed a quick bite I would eat in the restaurant. It's small dining area near where you order, so it's ideal for you with 1-2 people or yourself to eat inside. A shoutout to the owner who was very nice to talk to when I waited for my food, which didn't take long.

$9.95 Bento box- Chicken and rice with vegetable spring rolls and pan fried chicken dumplings.
Lindsey D.

From my 7-year-old, "This food is amazing! It has a bit of spice and a bit of sweetness. And the boba tea is so good! The bobas have such a nice bite. This is my new favorite restaurant." We did really enjoy this cute restaurant with reasonable prices and great service!

The food and the service was good. The owner was very nice. Spicy chicken ramen 9/10 Spicy chicken rice 8/10 The dumplings 10/10

Brown Sugar Oolong Tea   Bento Box Chicken Rice W/ Vegetables spring Rolls & Pan-fried chicken dumplings

Great restaurant!! Stopped on my commute home and everything was a 10/10. I was the only one in the store and the food came out in what seemed like 5 mins! Prices are quite good as well. I got all this food for less than $20. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, felt like a home-cooked meal. The pan-fried dumplings were especially good. The oolong boba tea was spectacular and was not too sweet which is what I'm used to at most places now, so that was great. Service was so welcoming and kind! I will definitely be back. The store itself is extremely clean and organized, they have a few nice patio tables that I really enjoyed eating at. Please come visit them!

I and my friend both got Thai tea latte and mango bubble tea. And both of us hated it so much that we had to throw it! Very disappointing.

Reasonable pricing, fantastic ramen. "Spicy" isn't too hot, doesn't mask the flavor. Very polite staff. Will be back often!

I got a jasmine milk tea. I am a huge fan of bubble tea and have tried many places so I'm pickier. I tasted some jasmine but the drink overall tasted watered down. Kind of like how it would taste if you left your iced drink out for a couple of hours and the ice melted and now you drink it. Boba toppings tasted fine - I had gotten lychee boba and yogurt popping bubbles. Rated this based on 3 stars being average. I did feel this was below average for me and did not hit my minimum needs. It may be better for other people especially if they try other flavors but I would personally opt for some other places first before coming back.

When I left DC I put it onto my list of pros coming to GW: that there is a Secretea right next to it. Being able to walk 7 min to get good boba was such a plus. In fact, every time I had to visit DC and even before I moved in, I was looking forward to order a Jasmine Milk Tea the second I landed. I was so sad and devastated when I found out Secretea would be closing its store. The accessibility to getting boba as a GW student is just impeccable, and I'm torn that I have to now find another spot to get boba from. Even back home I used to brag about Secretea and shared my excitement of having it every week when I officially lived in DC. I really hope that Secretea opens up nearby to GW! Please! I know not just me but so many other students share the same sentiment. The drinks are so good and I'm really going to miss it being a walkable distance from campus. Heartbroken to say the least!

My husband ordered the beef noodle soup and he said it tasted amazing. Our chicken soup dumplings were full of flavor and a lot of broth inside.
