What I loved was the service and the food. The server was super nice and had my food ready as soon as I came to the window. I had the classic chicken sandwich which featured a huge chicken breast that was surprisingly moist and delicious! It comes on a soft brioche bun that was nicely toasted. I also had the duck fat fries that had a really good seasoning and were not greasy. They were crinkle cut, which I liked, but not crispy. They were soft, but they came out hot and had good flavor. I also highly recommend the mumbo sauce if you like it in the sweeter side with a little heat. Lastly, the Jamaican Red Drink is similar to Sorrel but not very strong. It could use more ginger and be a little sweeter for me. This actually tasted more like the Jicama/hibiscus drinks I get at Mexican restaurants than the sorrel I think they were going for, but it was good. Only issue is there is no parking. They are in the middle of several food stands. I had to park by the construction folks and hope my car wasn't towed while I ran to get my food...shhh don't tell nobody! Overall, I recommend you give them a try!

This was, without question, the worst half-smoke I've ever had. I grew up eating Ben's Chili Bowl,…read moreso I know what it's supposed to taste like, and this was nothing like what I remember. The half-smoke appeared undercooked, and I honestly couldn't tell if it had been fully cooked at all. The texture was unpleasant, and the chili lacked the flavor and quality I expected. The entire meal was disappointing, and I couldn't finish it. It's really unfortunate because Ben's Chili Bowl has such a long history and was once one of my favorite places. Based on this experience, the food quality has declined significantly. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously and improves the consistency and quality of the food. I grew up just blocks away from U street and I'm disappointed the half smoke tastes uncooked like microwaved not from a grill.

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.

It's pretty much an average McDonald's in terms of food, service, quality, and cleanliness. The parking is pretty small and it sees a lot of people since it's the closest location to the Reagan National Airport in Crystal City. Parking is pretty small so when you're entering through US-1, it could get backed up due to the drive thru immediately on the left. You may need to drive around the building if the line of the drive thru gets backed up. This location is a 2 story building and it looks updated with its interior decoration. You can order 4 different ways: through the counter, the self-ordering kiosk, mobile app, and the drive thru. The day we decided eat inside, the stairs to the second level was blocked (not sure why or for what reason). It was also not busy for a weekday afternoon, so we were able to sit at a large booth. There were even counter height seating available. Food is as expected, just average, but at least it was hot and came out fairly quickly. Service was good and decent.

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.

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.

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.

We went here because I was craving carne asada tacos. We ordered few birria tacos, chicken tinga tacos, and carne asada. The birria tacos were great and had a lot of meat. The consommé was also great. I also liked the chicken tinga tacos. However, their carne asada tacos were extremely salty and weirdly cooked that they were rubbery. Between the meat being hard to chew and being too salty, I couldn't enjoy the carne asada at all. I asked the server before ordering if the birria tacos or the carne asada was better and he unbothered-ly said both are good. We also got a Pina colada to share since we wanted to eat our calories than drink. But this upset the server and he was also upset that we weren't ordering more drinks. The service felt a little off due to his cold attitude. We do plan to come in the future but hope we are treated better and not judged for not drinking crazy amounts of alcohol at dinner.
