I had the pleasure of being served by Marcus, who was absolutely exceptional. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and his drinks were outstanding. The host Kenji he was just as amazing--welcoming, kind, and brought such a genuine, comforting sense of humor that truly lifted the moment. During a difficult day, both of them provided not just great service, but real care and hospitality. Because of them, I will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

They had a new bartender that messed up the drinks, but they made new ones immediately and left the old ones with us, nice touch. The crab sandwich was really good, however I would have liked a little more crab cake. Shoe string fries were really good as well. The seafood salad had a lot of food. We sat outside which was wonderful. Good overlook of the courtyard. The waiter was green, but was friendly and tried hard to get stuff right. I would recommend to give this place a try.

This time, I didn't dine in--I placed a to-go order, and the young lady at the front was super nice and welcoming. I ordered the Caruso Alfredo, which is made with truffle butter. I tried it in the car and was immediately disappointed that I didn't dine in because WOW--the pasta was fresh, and the truffle butter was a hit! It's such a simple dish, but it has so many amazing flavors packed into it. Easily a 10/10 and definitely going to be my go-to order, especially as someone who is semi-picky. The restaurant has plenty of seating, along with an outdoor bar and seating area. Everything was clean, and I loved the old-school, unique pasta-house feel of the restaurant. I definitely can't wait to go back--and next time, I'll be dining in!

I came on a…read moreFriday night, so it was definitely busy and packed, but we were able to get seated right away at the sushi bar. The ambiance and decor were nice. It was definitely a loud atmosphere, but not something I minded. The service was a bit slow, which was understandable given how busy they were, and our server was friendly. Sitting at the sushi bar, I did notice several orders being mixed up or sent back, which may have contributed to the slower service. As for the food I ordered, it was just okay... nothing really stood out or wowed me tbh. I got the soft shell crab and a shrimp tempura taco. They were decent, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the quality. I didn't end up ordering any sushi, so maybe when I'm craving some sushi I'll come back to give that a try.

Also got the wings and they were crunchy and decent size. The spicy tuna roll was all right. Legit spicy so be aware of that (I've had spicy rolls at other places and it's never actually spicy). For my drink, I got the salaryman which had a great lychee flavor base and it was very refreshing. Enjoyed the actual lychee it came with too. My friends forced me to also have a sake bomb and it was fun to basically annihilate it. Food came out pretty fast and the service was great. All in all, fantastic happy hour.

They have stable internet, relaxing music and friendly staff! We got the cookie latte (only $4) and two arepas. The prices were very reasonable for the latte, they have oatmilk almond and regular milk. Regarding the arepas, both were fantastic! I got the chicken salad (it was a hot day!) and he got a beef one, the flavors were both strong and refreshing. Learned that this spot is a good place to come after work too since they also sell wine and beer. Turns more into a happy hour kinda spot. Seems like a lovely local place we will be back to next time we are in Montgomery county

Coffee, beer, wine, juice something for everyone. The menu changes. I ordered the chicken panini which is not usually my favorite but this was so delicious!! I can't wait to go back for another one. They have games that you can also sit, relax and play. If you want that comfort food feeling of a chicken panini, this is the place. Freshly made arepas are soon to come! I can't wait to try that! No pics of the food! It went down too fast :-)

The restaurant inside is very nice. I would say elegant without being off-putting. We were seated…read morein the back at a nice table for two. White table cloth. When we were seated, the host lit a table candle. We immediately received water and a plate for sharing of crisp papadums with what I think was a mango chutney. The crackers were crisp and flavorful and the chutney was delicious. A great start. We ordered two appetizers to try them: Mulligatawny soup ($8.99) - a very nice portion came in a bowl accompanied with two cups/spoons. We each had at least two small cups of soup from the one portion. Excellent soup. Samosa Chaat - ($10.99) - another very nice sized portion for sharing. And also excellent. A bit spicy and very flavorful. Entrees: Lamb Shank - beautifully prepared. Accompanied by rice. We both were surprised it didn't come with some vegetables on the sauce (like a few carrots), but the lamb itself is very flavorful. Yellow Daal - it's good. I likely wouldn't get it again as it was fine, but not great. Nothing wrong with it, but everything else was so flavorful and distinctive that this just seemed "fine". Chilly Garlic Naan - should have gotten an order of regular naan or garlic naan. This was so spicy that it was unpleasant to eat. My partner and I both like spicy food, but the spiciness interfered with our enjoyment of our entrees. Again, it's not the fault of the item - it's more of a warning that the spiciness is overpowering. I assume other people like this, but I prefer something that complements as opposed to overpowers (to me). Service was excellent throughout the meal. Full from the appetizers, we took most of the entrees home. Probably will discard the naan, unfortunately. Again, maybe you'll like it. I'm really glad we came here and will be back again.

The North Bethesda location is definitely second to none in the JINYA pecking order ( No shade to the DC location ) The ambiance and outside atmosphere takes this location to another level !!! Now let's be honest... the spicy chicken Ramen with broccoli added tipped my tastebuds over board and left me enjoying the spicy broth once all the noodles were gone. This is hands down the best Ramen ( noodles ) presentation and flavored filled dishes you could get on this side of the equator ( And YES I have tasted Ramen from other entities up and down the east coast ) And to my surprise... their non-alcoholic beverages were extremely tasty ( and advertised very well by the server ) Perfect location... Perfectly blended drinks and out of this world Ramen dish !!! See for yourself

Especially if you've eaten as are just going out to enjoy the games in public. We went out on a Saturday night. It wasn't super crowded so we were able to get good seats at the bar without feeling like we were shoulder bumping. We ordered a margarita pitcher and some wings. They were playing nice vibey music, though it was a little bit loud inside, but it wasn't rowdy. The wings were waaaay too salty, which influenced my 3 stars. I'd give them a 4/10. But the pitcher and ambiance was pretty good, 8/10.

The worst customer service experiences I've ever had…read more I came to Sports & Social Bethesda to watch the World Cup Final, and as a customer who paid for food and drinks, I expected basic respect. I am in my final weeks of pregnancy, and the way your staff treated me was absolutely unacceptable. A staff member initially seated us, but another server suddenly told us to leave. We politely moved cuz we thought another reservation ppl arrives or what. Just realized they came for walk in cuz i saw they have armbands. Then, while we were standing nearby with our drinks, another staff member came and told us to move again because someone else who stands near us wanted the space for wings lol. Are you kidding me we also ordered stuffs and barely standing at the corner. I have lived in the U.S. over 15 years, and this was honestly one of the rudest and most poorly managed experiences I've ever had in my life. I understand busy events can be chaotic, but repeatedly moving a paying, even we standing in corner not even seats with heavily pregnant customer around with zero consideration is unacceptable. If you don't want to lose business, either treat customers fairly or train your servers properly.
