I've never not been able to eat pad Thai before. There was a strong chemical taste that would stay in your mouth for ages. Actually, my throat is tingling as I write this. Maybe it's a bad batch? We didn't like the Pad Se Eew, but you could like It if you aren't weird about food textures. The noodles were a little too squishy, perhaps overcooked. This was my first time trying pad se eew so that could be normal. I feel badly writing this. Maybe It was just a bad day.

Always appreciate the minimalist yet still eloquently-decorated aesthetic of the restaurants, complete with a window to view the kitchen, which itself seemed relatively clean and well-kempt. Ordered the Woodear Mushroom and Mint Salad, and the Mogu Shiitake Mixian Ramen. The mushrooms were light and chewy, yet savory with citric and garlicky elements, and overall very refreshing. The ramen was solid in most respects, with a decent variety of vegetables and multiple proteins, including tofu, shiitakes, soybeans and marinated egg (which I enjoyed despite typically not liking hard-boiled egg too much). The noodles were a little bland, however, and didn't taste like they absorbed much of the broth. Overall, I'd say 4.5 stars are more accurate; YbP Noodle House is a regular haunt for me because the quality is there in most respects.

Staff kinda doing their own thing. Our waiter/manager (?) was also having to make drinks which took a while. (We finished our first apps before drinks even arrived.) Food was creative albeit kinda all over the place. Some items unvailable as well. The Mixian noodles were tasty but we thought too many for the soups or bowls. Apps were good but still nothing over the top. Net net is not sure if worth hitting this spot again for a drive into Pentagon with other better Chinese options in the area.

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.

Our order was brought out faster than I expected, with our mains coming up before the apps. Although not as spicy as I was hoping for, the spicy mapo tofu with noodles was really good.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place!…read more Usually asian fusion restaurants are a hit-or-miss, and I hadn't found any great authentic Chinese restaurants in NoVA so my hopes weren't very high going in. The menu has traditional Chinese dishes that I hadn't found locally and the flavors are pretty spot on. We ordered the hot and sour shredded potatoes, spicy tofu, and red date and snow fungus soup for dessert. The hot and sour shredded potatoes tasted like how my mom makes them, the spiciness is there but it's more subtle and balances nicely with the sourness. The potatoes themselves are cooked perfectly with a nice crunch to them. The spicy tofu was good, the glaze was a little on the sweet side, but the dish was still yummy overall. If you want extra spice, you can eat the chili chunks with the peanuts in the dish for a kick. The snow fungus soup was good, slightly sweeter than I prefer but it was refreshing as a dessert. The menu was digital and the only gripe is that our server disappeared for periods in between our meal, so it took time to order our mains, and then took time to find them to order dessert and get the check. However, they were friendly and attentive when they were around. The location is clean and has a modern ambiance. It gives a restaurant meets sports bar vibe, and they do have karaoke in the back. Portions were filling for a decent price. Will come back!

For the downtown area, I think this is a great place for lunch or just a drink, the staff is quick and they make it super easy to place the order inside either on the kiosks or with them directly. I hope to see it gain more popularity and success, it's a great addition to this area!

Thankfully, Saigon Noodles & Grill was across the street and also had great reviews. The place had a different decor than most Viet places I'd been to, but still felt like an immigrant American experience, which felt cozy and recognisable to me. The place was booming, so the service was a bit slow, despite the 18% mandatory gratuity. However, this family business was doing their best. I went with the summer rolls and the special pho -- both were good. The summer rolls came with the hoisin peanut sauce which was sweet and had the consistency I prefer. The pho broth was good enough, though I'd had better. I would have liked the flank steak to not have been cooked so thoroughly, but that might just be a NY preference. All in all, a positive experience.

Loved how soft and fluffy everything was, and they all had such delicious and traditional flavors. The ube bun is one of the most authentic ube pastries I've found here in the DMV. The drinks are also incredible and flavorful. We loved Gwenie's so much, we ended up going again the next day! I got the butterfly pea calamansi and my friend got the strawberry calamansi, both are so so good and a good mix of sweet and sour, but not too strong at all. I'm in love with the butterfly pea calamansi, I would have it every day if I could. The service here is also great! The employees are very nice and we got everything super quickly. The place is a bit small, but has a little bit of seating for a quick bite if you go when it's not busy. The place is also combined with another cafe, Lapu Lapu, which I haven't tried yet, but it smelled super good! I'd love to come back and have a sandwich there and Gwenie's for dessert. So excited to make this one of my regular spots!!!
