That did not come as a surprise to me, but the service at the bar was the worst I've ever had. The bartender (female) was extremely rude to not just me but all of my friends individually.

I hope someone can bring this up to her or she can find other work better suited to her demeanor.

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea there was a mall in this highway triangle. I thought the…read morespace between where I-270 and I-495 met had nothing in it. I've only seen the area from the highways that are tree lined. I am quite amazed by how out of touch I was for this area. This mall is quite expansive. The one thing I love about the DMV area is that the malls are still thriving. Not to the point where every single store is filled, but no where near dead mall territory. I had some time to kill before I had to head back home and wanting to pick up some items. Parking here had me. I wasn't sure where would be the best place to park. I ended up in the outdoor lots and didn't even want to mess with the parking structure. As a note, early here means you will encounter a slew of parents with their children in tow. Be careful and mindful in the parking lot as they will be everywhere. The mall had a bit of everything in here. The typical anchors and national chains you would expect to find in a mall. Food court area was jammed with eateries and customers. I opted to not eat here. Would definitely come back. Especially on a lazy day. Good people watching, enough stores to grab whatever you might be thinking of getting, and ample parking.

The food court is always packed with people with many different choices. The restaurants available inside the mall is always interesting. I saw a new Thai takeaway place downstairs near where Claire's used to be. The selections of the store keeps evolving. I had no idea Lululemon moved and has a bigger store now. It's hard to believe that the malls in America are dying when you see how crazy busy it is at the Mall. I couldn't find parking until I parked closer to the old Sears lot. And that was during a weekday well after Christmas and New Year's too. My nickname at work used to be the Mall Rat Haha! I can't wait to discover what new stores are coming and going the next time I return.

You have your choice of Indian, Venezuelan, Burmese, Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, and more. Maman (which replaced Paul Bakery), Andy's Pizza, and Falafel Inc are superb. The only national chain restaurant is Chipotle. In the warmer months you can sit in the outdoor space outside Chipotle, but it gets busy and crowded fast so reserving chairs for friends on their way is a challenge. There's also an underground (paid) garage accessible from 20th St NW.

We ordered and everyone enjoyed their food. It wasn't the best but it was good! I have to add this is in Chinatown so if you order Chinese is authentic. The downfall here is the seating situation is limited, and the bathrooms are nasty. Overall the service at the counter was good. NOW I'm sorry there are no pics! However do not, I repeat DO NOT leave here without getting a doughnut in a container. There are in the pastry section right by the register. You won't regret it!!! You're welcome.

The food was quick to get and decent quality, although a little overpriced considering how low key the place is. I visited on a Thursday around 6 PM. The place has a bar and bakery near the front, which I didn't check out. In the back are ~5 food stalls and each has signs for different vendors, but in reality it didn't seem like all the vendors were still operating. It was hard to tell because all the stalls share the same menu and you order from the same place (two tablets near the front). Tonkotsu Ramen (~$16) and Scallion Pancakes with Beef (~$11). They were prepared quickly. I expected the pancakes to be twice as large for the price. They tasted fine, I liked them. The ramen was served with broth on the side and came with pork, eggs, corn, bean sprouts, and a few other bits. It was pretty good but nothing special.

Even though it is an outlet mall, I noticed the items I got were almost the same prices online except a few dollars less. Being the largest mall in Virginia and one level , it was hard to navigate and I couldn't find signs leading to Earthbound. I got lost twice. I plan to visit this place again when it is not so crowded in the future. The service we received in the stores we browsed in were good and professional. We found a good bargain for a sturdy metal carry on luggage with wheels for $40. I loved the clothes I wanted online yet was never able to get until recently.

I was surprised to see the concourse throughout the mall wasn't crowded, yet the parking lots were packed. I had to circle several times to find a spot. The stores I visited had fairly light traffic. I came to this mall while in VA as I wanted to window shop at Bloomingdale's Outlet and Discount Designer Outlet. Sadly, both retailers left me disappointed. Inventory wasn't fashionable or high-end luxury brands that I was expecting. I am frugal and likely wouldn't have bought anything, but would have enjoyed window shopping. To make my experience worse, traffic coming home to Howard County was god-awful and I was reminded why I hate going to VA. A wasted trip of my time coming to this mall when I could have gone to Arundel only eleven minutes away from me.

From their salad bar, to their soups (mainly their chili), sandwich shops, pizza/flatbreads, burgers/hot dogs, gyro station, dessert station, and main course/global cuisine stations. Global cuisines rotate every day and each day has something delicious. The week I was in attendance, there was Salmon w/ veggies, Lasagna, and Fried Chicken as the delicious options.

I think what happens is that I mindlessly walk through here as I use it as a passageway. I need to start paying attention to what is in here and keep note of it. Basically this is a mall. Like every mall just about everywhere, they are without some businesses. But, I will say this about the DMV area, even with some shops being empty, the malls still know how to draw people in. Even if it is just for the food options. This place has a ton of food options and some of the places in here are the only place in DC to find them, or at least a place where it is fairly easy to get to in order to visit the business. They got the run of the chains you would see in almost any food court. Charleys, Five Guys, Jamba Juice, Moe's, Panda Express, Starbucks, Subway, etc. But there are a lot of mom and pop stands mixed in. You can definitely find something for your lunch or a quick snack. This is one of the only places I have seen a Church's Chicken in the city. It can be a maze walking through here, especially if you arrive via Metro. But like I said, it is a great passageway to get yourself to areas without having to be outside. With the Spy Museum on the one end it's a great place to spend a day in the city. The Wharf not too far either. There are a few shops throughout as well. Mostly open during daylight hours if you need to grab a thing or two. Everything from a post office to a convenience type store. If you are lucky enough to work nearby, I am sure this is busy around the lunchtime hour.

If you're staying at the Hilton, there's a direct connection to it from the hotel. So this place is helpful because it has several fast food options. Nothing to rave about, but when you're traveling access to quick, fast food is important. Many food places either seemed always closed when I went a few times or open at inconsistent times. The place also never seems busy. Kinda ghost town-ish. Panda Express seemed to be the main attraction here. All together tho, it was clean. I think the space has potential to be a more useful shopping space for people.

I like how the station also has 30 retail shops. Happy I visited Union Station and I recommend seeing this architectural marvel.

Union Station is a beautiful historical building. It is a travel hub in the city (Marc train,…read moreAmtrak, metro). You can always get a taxi out front if you aren't getting an Uber. I am crossing my fingers that Union Station will get itself together. Outside of attending a handful of events (there is a lot of space due to store/restaurant closures) I don't visit this area frequently anymore. If I take metro at night, I use Chinatown or Convention Center metro. Amtrak had too many incidents with homeless people attacking employees. As a result, all of the seating located in front of each boarding area has been removed. There is a seating area (with security) if you have a boarding pass. The beautiful wooden benches that used to be in the grand hall are gone. My favorite stores are gone. The parking garage has limited spaces & is confusing. The rental area (I have never successfully gotten someone on the phone who could tell me rental prices or what cars were available) takes up lots of spaces now. The food court isn't the same. We used to love visiting and trying one of the kiosks. The places keep going out of business. If you visit the food court, have a fanny pack or sling back purse. Between aggressive pigeons or people asking for money, the experience isn't as enjoyable. Unos is still there. If you need to grab a bite, you won't be bothered by the riff raff there. The circulator buses are all gone, due to budget cuts. They were a wonderful convenience. I hope that things will change. Union Station has an expansion project that should be completed by 2040. Some improvements are starting construction in 2027. That doesn't help anyone now. The halls are beautiful. The statues are photo worthy. The postal museum is directly across the street. Capitol Hill is nearby. This building is a treasure. I'm rooting for it.
