    Chopped Cheese and Bag of Fries
    Kayla L.

    If you enjoy Five guys you're gonna love this place! Man I got the Chopped cheese 11/10 I'm going to order again!! Their fires are good too I didn't expect them to have their shape tho.

    "Chicken Adobo"

    Food is horrible, my Filipino God Mother would curse me out if i attempted to serve her the Chicken Adobo this establishment is serving. Just stick with their bubble tea can't f that up too bad. ‍

    Brisket BBQ French fries
    Micah C.

    I found out about Gigi's Kitchen when I was looking for a bubble tea place around the area (there's one housed inside the same building called AunTea). The first thing that caught my eye when I browsed through their Instagram was the brisket pao -- beef brisket smoked for 16 hours inside a fluffy steamed pao bun (think bao or siopao). I recommend it to anyone looking to try something new. The brisket was thinly sliced, smoky and well seasoned. Overall, it was pretty good but the bun was too big and the fries it came with weren't really that crispy. A few weeks later, I saw that they had a new brisket dish added to the menu: brisket fries. Since I did like the brisket pao, I decided to give this one a try. The brisket, again, was super tasty. This time it was cubed though. The dish was okay. I think they put too much sauce, and again, the fries weren't crispy either, which was pretty disappointing. I don't think it was worth the $16 I paid. I'm still willing to try Gigi's again since I regularly go to Auntea. Auntea also sells popcorn chicken which, I guess, is made from the same kitchen. That chicken is actually bomb.

    Rice was cold and hard, into one solid piece.

    First, and likely last, time I try this place. We ordered 2 Brisket Fries, Filipino BBQ Skewers, and 1 Siopao (like a beef empanada). The total was $46.10. My biggest issue was the old microwaved rice I got with my order (skewers). Look at the video: I couldn't even break it with a fork. That's the result of rice being overheated in the microwave. If you're going to serve reheated rice, fine, but don't let it turn into a solid piece. My son and husband got the brisket fries. My son said it was "good", hence the 3 stars. The staff was a young crowd and they were nice. Sucks cause I'd been wanting to try this place forever, and to spend almost $50 on cold and old food, didn't leave a good impression. But I believe maybe I just got unlucky.

    Mozzarella Sticks

    I've been here a number of times and each time I try something new. If you're into boba, teas, cold drinks and baked goods, this is their sweet spot. Everything else, in my case, has been burnt, cold or over cooked. On my first visit I had the mozzarella sticks and taro boba. The taro was delicious, but the mozzarella sticks were served cold, as in they weren't cooked all the way through. On my next visit, my friends all got taro teas and I decided to go with the buffalo chicken fries, this was the best tasting of all four dishes Ive tried. They were cooked enough, the cheese was melted, but I added more buffalo sauce because I like things spicy. They reminded me of the garbage plates I used to get in college in New York. On my last visit I tried the Siopao, and pork bbq skewers. What I received was over cooked and burnt. The pork bbq was burnt to the point the meat had charred and was inedible. The siopao had been left in the steamer too long, to the point it had turned brown and hardened. The rice tasted good though.

    This is my first time having wagyu meat. I ordered the wagyu chopped cheese, smash burger and fries. To me..TO ME (Lol) the meat should've been more seasoned based off the price. It wasn't bad, it was actually good I would've preferred a little more seasoning. Again this was my first time trying it. Perhaps, based off the quality of meat they don't want to over season it?? The smash burger was good as well. However, I ordered a smash burger but received and charged for a double. It was a lot of meat to the point I only tasted the meat and not anything additional on the sandwich. Still good just a lot meat. They literally give you a bag of fries which were hot and fresh. All in all, I'm going back, no major complaints. I would recommend calling ahead if possible. I believe everything is cooked to order since it was about 20-25mins before I received my food. The food was hot and fresh though!!!

    Okay so this place has been showing up on my IG quite a bit so I figured I'd give it a try tonight. I had no idea what to expect but was a bit worried because my father said when he went it wasn't good, but this was a while ago and management changed or the name changed I don't know. But when he picked up the food he realized it wasn't the same place he had been to previously (luckily). Some of these things I haven't had before so I don't have anything to compare it to taste wise. We ordered: Mild chicken wings- they weren't bad, they definitely tasted more like a bbq sauce than mild sauce. But there was plenty of the sauce. Baliwag- I had no idea what this was, but it was a whole bunch of bread lol. I didn't taste yet because I was full from everything else but I will update my review when I do. Pork siopao- Again I did not know what this was, I saw it briefly one day while scrolling on IG. But it was delicious! I ordered them steamed but you can get them fried or get them to cook at home(I think that's what it said). The pork was sweet and I was surprised when I saw a boiled egg in it. Definitely would order again. Pork rinds ( chicharon)- I actually thought this was gonna be more like the chewy chicharron that I've gotten at Latino places but it was more like the pork rinds you get at the store. Except they were fresher. These were also very good and I had to stop myself from bringing the whole bag to my room and eating them all night. Some pieces were mostly skin while there were others that still had some fat so gave a nice little chew. Veggie lumpia- Again something I have heard of but never had. Pretty good, not sure what the sauce was with it but it was pretty good too. Buffalo chicken ranch fries- This was good too and a good portion. BBQ Chicken skewers- these were good, too much sauce on it for me but I don't think I read it was bbq so I just wasn't expecting it. But I would get again. Cheesesteak- good, nice portion Thai iced tea- this was supposed to be the best, I've never had a Thai iced tea I didn't like but this was it. I've gotten Thai iced tea from both Thai restaurants and pho restaurants and they were perfectly sweet but this just didn't hit the mark. This one wasn't as sweet, but If that's your thing then this is for you. IF I was to try it again I would def up the sugar.

    This place is easy to miss if you drive by it too fast. But once you have them for the first time, you'll surely be back! I found out about Gigi's Kitchen through social media, and a short clip of them preparing their brisket fries captivated me. I knew that the next time I went to Fort Washington, MD, Gigi's would be getting a visit from me. I was able to place an online order and my food was actually ready a few minutes earlier than the estimated time. Both loaded fry options are great! But I liked the Buffalo chicken ranch fries slightly better. Love the fact that they pack the fries with toppings too! The sauces compliment each dish as well. Next time I visit, I have to grab a boba tea!

    I was a little confused walking in, there are two pickup areas for take-out, one for the specialty drink bar then further in is the kitchen pick-up. They have a nice waiting area but they are not doing sit down dining. The wait was a little long, even after waiting 30 min to come in I stood there for about five min. I did enjoy the garlic knot pizza/calzone so it was worth the wait.

    Food is amazing and the prices are fair. Who knew you can find such a gem in Fort Washington. The pizza is amazing and lumpia is even better. I didn't get to take pictures this time because I was so hungry. But this is my favorite go to spot when I want something close by and tasty. The Pan De Sal is also fresh and tasty. I've never had a bad experience with all the times I've been here. They have quite the menu which you can find online as well. But they are also friendly but I'd advise you to call ahead to avoid the crowd and wait. Highly recommend them is f you're near by.

    I was in the mood for lumpia and saw this was around the corner from my travels. Place is small, clean and they made my order quickly. Less than 10 mins after calling in my order, I had delicious, piping hot lumpia! Yum! This is also the first time I've seen a Filipino- Italian menu- they do not carry most of what you'd find in a typical Filipino restaurant but it took care of my lumpia craving.

    Brittany N.

    The lumpia was so burnt or cooked in old gease. The chicken cheesesteak tast like chopped chicken breast very Bland not tasty . I saw tik tok and really wanted to try it but i regret spending 37 dollars on un edible food

    Supporting local businesses during COVID and I'm happy to say my first time at Gigi's was well worth the trip to Fort Washington from DC. AuntTea (AunTea?) Boba is also inside the same restaurant as Gigi's. I ordered a Halo Halo boba drink and it was like a Taro slushee with halo halo toppings. Very yummy and not too icy or sweet. I primarily came for the Filipino baked goods and I am very happy with what I purchased. I ordered lumpia(decent lumpia that was flavorful), chicken pandesal, pack of Ube pandesal, siopao and Empenadas. Wowwww the siopao was delicious! They offer to warm up the food for you. I ate it on the drive home and I was really happy the chicken inside was not dry and the bun was moist. The real winner is their empanadas! Dough breading is firm yet bouncy when eaten, flavor is a hint sweet and salty, balanced well with a good ratio to filling inside. I am from San Diego--city filled with Filipinos and accustomed to a range of good and bad Filipino style empanadas. Some empanadas are more like Jamaican and Hispanic flaky crust and these are more like brioche bread! I would definitely recommend to all the DMV Filipinos to try this spot out. It's a little out of the way but I would definitely come back. :)

You ask for extra parmesan or red pepper flakes and suddenly it's attitude, sighs, and looks like you just asked them to cover your whole bill. It's literally cheese packets and pepper flakes, not a luxury item. What makes it worse is they keep hiding behind the same line: "we're working on improving our service." They've been saying that for months. At this point, that phrase doesn't mean anything. It's not improvement if nothing actually improves. It just sounds like something they say to get people off their back while continuing to give the same low-effort service. The whole experience just feels lazy and inconsistent. You walk in expecting a smooth pickup or decent service, and instead you're dealing with horrible communication, and staff that act like helping you is optional. Nobody expects perfection, but basic customer service shouldn't feel like a favor. After a while, it starts to feel like they've gotten comfortable doing the bare minimum and calling it "progress" and that's just their standard now. It's sad.
