    An eclectic mix of cuisines, from Indian to Mexican/Central American, with a surprisingly good vegan and vegetarian selection. I like the vegan pulled BBQ bowl made from jackfruit (there is a sandwich version too but the bread is mediocre) and the mixed vegetable crepe. Nook also has a small dessert case that usually has mini cupcakes, convenient for a last minute office party contribution (this is why I first visited it). Located in the Ronald Reagan Building food court, it sits a few steps back from the fray of the food court's main circle and as a result can get overlooked by the conference or tourist group crowd (read: shorter lines!). The portions give you a good amount of food and the staff is always friendly. It's become one of my preferred options in this food court.

    The NOOK has really good reviews and I decided to try it. It does not deserve a visit. I came with 40 dollars and I had less than thirty after. The food was really greasy with oil spewing from all sides and the pulled pork wasn't even pulled. There was no extra condiments or sides like Tomato or even lettuce. The only sides they provided were a flimsy bag of potato chips. Their pictures for advertisements were not even their food. I kind of expected more from twelve bucks but I didn't even think I got my money's worth

    For a food court this was very good. Everything tasted fresh. We got the rice bowl. Lots of food. Perfect for 2.

    Great food and good prices. There was hardly any line. The cafe mall was very busy. The ambiance was clean and well lit.

    Luna Hall was okay. It wasn't very crowded, didn't have many vendors, and felt a little empty and…read morerun down. Not a very nice or cozy ambiance or where I'd want to hang out. 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 love the idea, I wish it had more tables and wasn't so hot…read more There aren't a ton of options, but what they have are all great and a decent variety. I love there's a full bar, bakery, milk tea, poke and dumplings. When we got there at 7 pm on a Wednesday there was a police officer at the door. There wasn't one when we left at 8 pm. You need a code to get in the restroom and it's printed at the bottom of the receipt. There aren't a ton of tables, but we got one and there were plenty when we left. It was hot in July, so if you can I'd suggest grabbing and going. However, the tables by the front are cooler than in the back so it's not bad if you find one by the front. Overall this is a great concept and I'm a huge fan.

Our server was attentive and helped us keep track of the time so we can put in any last minute orders for happy hour. The sugar and spice cocktail is one of my favorites in the DC area, it's perfect if you like a spicy margarita flavor. The snow king roll was my favorite (included in HH) but the surf and turf one was delicious as well. Definitely recommend the broccolini and rock shrimp to supplement your experience! I can't wait to come back.

    I might give them another shot given the rave reviews, but tonight I'm disappointed. At this point,…read moreI haven't even seen my check so the price is not the issue, but the service and overall flavor for the price point definitely are. My Hotote crudo app which should be served cold was served cold on a super hot plate which means by the time I ate it, it was thus weird hot/semi-luke warm temp and honestly, not appetizing. I tried the Moriawase after and told my server I wanted to add caviar if it was possible and since I didn't get any, I assume it is only an option for the nigiri/sashimi. Silly but no problem. I was still sooooo hungry I ordered a Surf&turf roll and it was less than appetizing. It had no flavor which was terribly unfortunate. I didn't make a review about the sake mixup or my server only to be polite but there are definitely low points, and those make the list. I hope it's better for everyone else!
