I don't know how I overlook this place each time I am near. I somehow just associate it with the…read moreMetro station and forget that it is its own standalone business. I think what happens is that I mindlessly walk through here as I use it as a passageway. I need to start paying attention to what is in here and keep note of it. Basically this is a mall. Like every mall just about everywhere, they are without some businesses. But, I will say this about the DMV area, even with some shops being empty, the malls still know how to draw people in. Even if it is just for the food options. This place has a ton of food options and some of the places in here are the only place in DC to find them, or at least a place where it is fairly easy to get to in order to visit the business. They got the run of the chains you would see in almost any food court. Charleys, Five Guys, Jamba Juice, Moe's, Panda Express, Starbucks, Subway, etc. But there are a lot of mom and pop stands mixed in. You can definitely find something for your lunch or a quick snack. This is one of the only places I have seen a Church's Chicken in the city. It can be a maze walking through here, especially if you arrive via Metro. But like I said, it is a great passageway to get yourself to areas without having to be outside. With the Spy Museum on the one end it's a great place to spend a day in the city. The Wharf not too far either. There are a few shops throughout as well. Mostly open during daylight hours if you need to grab a thing or two. Everything from a post office to a convenience type store. If you are lucky enough to work nearby, I am sure this is busy around the lunchtime hour.

A little confused what this is. I think it's a fancy train station/transfer hub, I guess. Anyway, I…read morefound out about it because I was staying at the hotel nearby. If you're staying at the Hilton, there's a direct connection to it from the hotel. So this place is helpful because it has several fast food options. Nothing to rave about, but when you're traveling access to quick, fast food is important. Many food places either seemed always closed when I went a few times or open at inconsistent times. The place also never seems busy. Kinda ghost town-ish. Panda Express seemed to be the main attraction here. All together tho, it was clean. I think the space has potential to be a more useful shopping space for people.

I had a good time visiting lots of stores during the day. I always use a cross body bag whenever I'm downtown. When I use the red line at night, I take Chinatown's metro stop. The streets are well lit and I have less unsavory characters to deal with. The police have a presence at Capital One Arena and the convention center. There are new businesses on the Mezzanine level that are interesting. A case study is whether Wolfgang Puck's Bar & Bites will stay. A pop art installation has replaced Ann Taylor on the mezzanine level. The space that housed Victoria's Secret is still empty (rip). My Swatch store (rip) is where Amtrak passengers wait for trains. H&M is now on the lower level (where Borders Books was located). Walgreens is hanging in there too. Chipotle is always a favorite (but the 4th St location is closer). The main hall is a beautiful event space. All that marble floor used to have benches where DMV residents & visitors could sit and visit. It is one of the reasons I don't hang out inside that gorgeous building as often. Most of the seating is gone. The Amtrak gates are just gates. All of the seating was removed after homeless people caused injury to Amtrak employees. Union Station is beautiful. We used to visit more often. I loved trying items in the food court. The vendors change over more frequently. Wendy's is gone. Taco Bell is hanging in there. Raising Cane's is there (as of 9/26). We attended the grand opening of Halal Guys. I'm happy they are still in business. The "suggested rule" for dining in the food court area is staying for 30 minutes. I have never been asked to leave when visiting with friends but we're usually in Chinatown where places are open after 8pm. The food court shuts down promptly at 8pm. If you are lingering after that time, all the other tables and chairs have been stacked and moved. Wok a Holic was a disappointment but meat eaters can find a dish (just don't order fried rice). Unos was a big loss (rip). We loved having pizza or pasta and two floors of places to dine. The main purpose for visiting Union Station is taking Metro, Amtrak, a bus or the Marc Train. The loss of the Circulator buses is another reason I don't visit frequently. Enterprise Car Rental has taken over dozens of spaces in the parking garage. The expansion project fell apart & was halted. The Postal Museum is across the street and worth a visit. If you park in Union Station you can still get a few dollars off of your parking by validating your ticket at the bus entrance level.

We ordered and everyone enjoyed their food. It wasn't the best but it was good! I have to add this is in Chinatown so if you order Chinese is authentic. The downfall here is the seating situation is limited, and the bathrooms are nasty. Overall the service at the counter was good. NOW I'm sorry there are no pics! However do not, I repeat DO NOT leave here without getting a doughnut in a container. There are in the pastry section right by the register. You won't regret it!!! You're welcome.

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.

I got the pulled pork tacos and chicken tacos, and the meat was the main issue. It was a little dry and didn't have much flavor. With Korean-inspired food, I expected more savory depth, maybe some sweetness from a marinade, a little vinegar, sesame, or stronger grilled flavor. They have a big griddle, but the meat didn't really taste like it was cooked fresh on it. It felt more like the ingredients were assembled rather than cooked together into something cohesive. The tacos also didn't really read as Korean or Mexican to me, aside from the sauce. The individual ingredients seemed fine, but together they didn't have much punch. The "kimchi" was also disappointing. It tasted more like slaw with gochujang than actual fermented kimchi. Price was around $13 or $14 for three tacos, which is not shocking these days, but it felt a bit high for what it was. They do have a Tuesday special, I think around $9 for three tacos, which is probably the better time to try it. The atmosphere is also a little flat. Every time I've gone, it has felt pretty empty rather than bustling. Overall, it's not bad, and I still go because it's convenient, but I was hoping for more flavor and more of a clear Korean-Mexican identity.

Delicious (but spicy) food with a fusion twist - fun atmosphere (kids can play claw games while you…read morewait), and tons of flavor. I've been to TaKorean twice and both times I leave with a happy belly and a smile. Our go-to family favorites are the Avocado Fries, Birria Ramen, and Nori Tacos. The avocado fries are lightly breaded and dusted with a spicy powder - they're the perfect combination of crispy and creamy and come with a dipping sauce that has a bit of sweetness to it. If you can't handle spice, they can adjust it for you, but I absolutely love the Birria ramen which is a mixture of their plain ramen broth (not spicy) with their guajillo consomme (packs a nice kick). Disclaimer - the ramen has egg in it - which isn't mentioned on the menu, so just something to be aware of. I've had it twice and both times there was egg - which I didn't mind at all, but it was unexpected. My husband has tried the beef birria, bulgogi, nori, spicy fire, and crispy shrimp tacos, but his favorite is the nori which has a crispy seaweed shell and spicy tuna with avocado to cool it off. We've also tried the loaded buldak fries, shrimp burger, and beef bulgolgi bowl - all had great flavor, but my kids definitely can't take the heat - so we'll have to modify next time we come in. The drinks are also

Everything here is pretty good. But the Mexican food was just okay (beans and cheese dip tasted canned/powdered), while the tacos were pretty standard. But my partner enjoyed having his coffee and juice here as well as the pizza. Overall we really enjoyed the concept of this place -- the shared community space, the tall ceilings, and the fast and seamless ordering system. You can order at any kiosk/stand, but it's better to grab a table, sit down, and order from the unique link you scan from each table's unique QR code link, and they bring the food to you. It's a model ahead of its time but one that makes it easy to order your food (though I can see the drawbacks like having to order once you get to the building since there are unique QR codes that prevent you from ordering food when you're not there. I honestly would give the food closer to 4 stars, but my partner had such positive experiences at this place that I am giving it 5 stars.
