I especially loved that you can customize both the sweetness and ice level, so it was easy to make the drinks just the way we like them. As someone who usually orders drinks less sweet, I really appreciated having that option. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and ordering was easy through the self-service iPad at the entrance. There isn't much seating, but it's the perfect spot to grab a drink and take a stroll along the waterfront. I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

Everything is ordered through a kiosk, and they text you when your drink is ready -- super convenient. Do the drinks take a while? Yes. But the décor is so wonderfully bizarre that you'll spend the wait looking around. The boba runs on the sweeter side, so I ordered mine at 25% sweetness and it was perfect. Its a perfect spot to grab a drink, hide from humanity, and enjoy some quality boba

This was fine on a nice evening, but left me wondering why their online ordering system defaulted to a fairly generous tip from a price that wasn't low to start.

They serve drinks and street food. Gong Cha also shares the same location/ counter space with Poki DC so you can get your poke + boba fix. To order, there's a self-order kiosk. They're fairly fast in making your orders. I LOVE that they were accommodating and used soy milk as dairy alternatives when I left a note in my order since there wasn't an option button to change dairy. Green Thai tea was so delicious and had a nice balance of sweetness. Strawberry smoothie with creme brûlée was also good, but tasted a little watered down (but maybe it's because it was soy milk?). Chicken karaage was crispy and tasty. There's not a lot of boba places around DC so def recommend this place!

My go-to: the cilantro scrambled eggs with tea-cured salmon. Where else can you order scrambled eggs with salmon in the DC area or maybe even the entire northeastern seaboard? I don't know but I've only ever been able to get my eggs with salmon here and at a DC gourmet family diner chain since learning of the deliciousness of salmon-with-breakfast in Valdez, Alaska. The Salty Oat cookies, at each of their 3 locations, are divine sustenance. You cannot just have 1 of any of the 3 flavors. You will likely need to take home a whole pack with you. And resent sharing them with the family. I love the hot chai with Indian spices, milk and ginger that I reviewed at their DuPont Circle location. I've tried pots of tea but nothing matches the Chai. I would also like to try the iced sweet matcha bubble tea. My other go-to: give me the salmon bento box, please! I hope they never take this off of the menu because it is deliciousness. The current menu says it comes with: yuzu dipping sauce, a broccoli and orange fennel vinaigrette, a potato medley, miso dipping sauce and rice. Over time, the sides that accompany it change. Like seasonally and with trends, you know. 5 meows. Oh, and I do love their French toast, as well. It's so brunchy here. This location is more spacious and closer to DC's national museums. #localtastebyjenny

I was disappointed with my visit to Luna Hall. It feels like management has stopped maintaining the…read moreplace. The bathrooms were in poor condition. Several stall doors were broken or wouldn't lock, and one restroom appeared to be used for storage with boxes blocking access. The downstairs area was dirty, with storage boxes stacked throughout the hallways and even a freezer sitting in a public walkway. It gave the impression that back-of-house storage had spilled into customer areas. Another concerning issue was that there was an equipment/server rack sitting wide open outside the restroom, which didn't seem appropriate or safe in a public space. One thing that surprised me was the food hall concept. While it appears to have multiple vendors, they all seem to share the same kitchen, many of the same employees, and much of the same menu. It felt less like independent food stalls and more like a single restaurant operating under different brand names, where you simply order at different windows. The overall atmosphere felt neglected. Many of the employees appeared unorganized and unsure of the ordering process, and the service reflected that. The idea has potential, but the facility needs much better upkeep and organization. Cleaner common areas, properly maintained restrooms, and a more polished operation would go a long way toward making this a place worth returning to.

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.

I ordered the veg spicy and sour noodles and they come with an egg and crispy pieces of corn and a lot of boi hot which I love. The flavor was spicy with a hint of lime for the sour flavor. My husband ordered the beef noodle soup and he said it tasted amazing. Our chicken soup dumplings were full of flavor and a lot of broth inside. This place is really similar to Yu noodles which is one of my favorite places so if I'm ever in the area again I would go to this place for soup dumplings. Our server was really sweet as well.

I also tried the pan fried dumplings and spicy wontons in chili oil. Both were just okay. I'll be back when I'm in the area to try out additional items.
