When I first started going to Roggenart European Bakery, I would order a sandwich to go, and…read morewhether it was hot or cold, they packaged it in a clear plastic container. The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

The food comes out in plastic to-go containers so it's easy to take home if any leftovers. Hands down they have the best dumplings. Their noodles are authentic and extremely flavorful.

The portions are sizable so consider ordering and sharing. The happy hour is also worthwhile noting. The variety of beverages are just as important for your dining experience!!! Specialty drinks are Pui's specialty. Make sure to check her out when you come in. She will be the one with pink hair mixing drinks at the bar. The space is also the best place for your birthday dinner!!! They make you feel very special and EVERYONE WILL SING ALONG!!! So much fun and worth it for the whole family, date night or like me, solo lunch on a random weekday!!

Drinks were perfect. Service was fast and accommodating. Spring rolls, Steamed dumplings, nam tok (beef salad) and tom yum were delicious. Chicken pad Thai, drunke.

If you have Thai friends this is your spot. Only issues with Dok Khao are no reservations and it is crazy loud. Great spot for a birthday though !

About ten minutes later I got my food and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. I had asked for extra spices on the side which they remembered. The chicken itself was tender and not overcooked. There was also no lack of sauce and rice. Without the additional spices I'd say the dish is a 3/10 on the spice level. With the added spices I took it up to a 6. Overall it's a very fresh dish that feels very authentic. If you're looking for spice hit up the Thai place on the same block.

For a couple of months my friend, who is of Turkish heritage and lives out in Germantown, wanted to meet me closer to my home to go to Cazbar. We went on Saturday, 9/6/25 for lunch (lunch prices are better as why I shot for lunch time). We walked in, and it was fancy Middle Eastern decor. Server was nice & efficient answering questions. I got their take on flatbread pizza called Lamb Pide. Wow, the lamb and pizza as a whole was amazing. My friend got some more expensive platter, which looked good. If I came back, I'd maybe get something like what he got. My friend (& me to a lesser extent) were cogitating on getting a dessert. I think me saying we ate a lot, it's extra calories, & prices are pretty high for dessert, ended up swaying him not to get dessert. Plus, there was a Greek festival and might get a baklava or other dessert there, which I did. Overall, my impression was wow, this place is impression, and I want to go with my girlfriend one of these days, maybe on a weekend before a movie at AMC Columbia or something.

It included a variety of mezze, followed by an entree featuring two types of chicken, two types of beef, shrimp, and salmon, and concluded with ​Baklava for dessert. The food was well-seasoned with generous portions. Additionally, the alcoholic beverages were fresh, creative, and strong, with a wide variety of options available. The only thing is that it was super loud and the belly dancing lasted approx 30 mins so if you make a resy during the allotted time you can easily miss it like we did. I would definitely give it another shot, arriving on time!
