Went here on a Saturday night with a party of three and was shocked to see it nearly empty. There…read moreis plenty of tables and we were seated in a booth immediately. There are quite a few options on what to order. The main attraction is basically hotpot, where you order a soup and they provide a set number of sides and meats to go along with it. It does cost more to add more meats with each plate. They also have a few noodle soup dishes and other premade bowls. The service was nice in helping me decide on what I wanted to order and to provide recommendations. Since the restaurant was near empty, we were able to order pretty fast. I ordered the collagen chicken soup with rice noodles alongside an order of soup dumplings. To our surprise the soup noodles came out within 10 mins. I thought for hotpot soups this was delightful. Tons of filling and the noodles were well prepared. The highlight of the day was the soup dumplings however. I was surprised that the dumplings came out 10 mins after the noodle soup as it was an appetizer. The pork soup dumplings are something I will be coming back here for. Overall, I had a good experience with kind service will definitely be returning.

The food is consistently exceptional, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and welcoming. Whenever friends or family visit from out of town, this is my go-to spot because I know they'll leave impressed. Most recently, I visited for brunch on Saturday and ordered the short rib gnocchi. It was absolutely delicious... rich, flavorful, and incredibly filling. I paired it with the bubbles flight, which featured an assortment of four sparkling wines and was the perfect complement to the meal. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Great food, great drinks, and consistently great experiences. Love this place. Five stars for consistency and great food!

Sadly, we had a disappointing Mother's Day experience. While the restaurant was extremely busy,…read morethere were a few highlights. The truffle popcorn was excellent, our child enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the fresh tuna appetizer was flavorful, although overly sauced. Unfortunately, the scallops with risotto were unacceptable. Both entrees had a strong ammonia-like taste from the first bite, which was immediately noticeable to both of us. We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.

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.

They have a variety of sandwiches, salads and soups. As well as pastries and glass bottled drinks. Staff were friendly and helped me decide which sandwich to choose since it was my first time there.

The portion is small but a great sample size for me to determine if I want a bigger size next time, which I will get a bigger size my next visit. Overrall, great first sandwich, awesome service.

I have never been so upset after leaving a restaurant in my life!…read moreThis place is a rip off. Three of my guests had dim sum. I had 1/2 of a duck no dim sum. The food was marginal (compared to other Dim Sum places we've been) my guests were unimpressed with their choices and the duck was not at all crispy as others have said and I was expecting. Ok, that's fine lesson learned, but the kicker is that the bill was $230.00 that included a 18% service charge. I have never spent that amount of money on a table of 4 in my life! I will not be back. If you have money to burn the go ahead but there are plenty of chinese restaurants that have better food for a reasonable price.

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.

This Turkish restaurant is located in a little strip mall. It looks tiny from the outside but it is…read morehuge. The bars are pretty. The decorations are awesome. It is worth walking around the restaurant to view all the pretty decorations. The menus are media pads that don't get wiped off (gross). I don't understand how a restaurant that has technology (and a robot busser) can't sort out separate checks. Groups of six or more are charged a 20% service charge. Large groups are charged a $25 fee for using a credit card. My suggestion is stop handing out the pretty bags for leftovers and get rid of the credit card fee. We have a group of eight that meets once a month. We won't be back as a group. It might be fun to return sometime with less people and watch belly dancing. The menu is extensive (a bit confusing on the media pad) and has vegan and vegetarian options. The portions are decent. The items are flavorful and most are pricey. Guests who split a dish with someone are charged $15 for not ordering an entree. The watermelon margarita was pretty. I appreciated pitchers of water at the table. The cold hummus trio was tiny and tasty. The red lentil soup was nicely seasoned and barely warm. The sweet potatoes were nicely presented, flavorful and not filling. The red sauce wasn't too spicy but ketchup tasted better. The lamb moussak eggplant dish was large. The Doneri Iskender lamb dish was $10 more with bread and sauce. The vegetable kebab had zucchini & squash. My friend didn't want the rice & bread so she substituted a salad. $40 for a skewer & small salad seemed excessive. The salad with chicken was large. Everyone enjoyed the lamb. The desserts were large enough to share. The noodle breaded dessert was interesting. I enjoyed seeing the dishes. The Chocolate cake was yummy. The baklava was sweet and good. They only had the green flavor. The server was mostly locked into our needs. The manager gave everyone a pretty to go bag. You can see the menu on your phone & can avoid the over used media pad.
