“Came here on a Saturday night, food was excellent but pricey for what it was. Maybe it's because I've been to many mom and pop spots in Queens NY with just as delicious food for half the price nevertheless its a great spot. Highlights include the soup, dumplings, and any of the hand pulled noodle dishes.“
“If you are craving great sushi and great service you have to come here!!!! I got the firecracker roll and the seaweed salad and it was soo good and very fresh!! Jc was my server and he was the best server I’ve had hands down!!! 100000/10.“
“Bottom line up front, Cranes is a MUST for DC’s Winter Restaurant Week! From the hostess's accommodation of our late arrival, friendly greeting, and front door coat check to our waiter’s, Elmer, and wait staff’s attentive service throughout our visit, Cranes was superb! The Faux-jito, Squash Hummus, Ramen, and Iberico Pork Fried Rice were fantastic! When there was a problem with our bill, it was quickly resolved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!!“
“Delicious food and excellent service! The ‘Ceviche Clásico’ which is offered with the fish of the day is deliciously and freshly prepared. I also recommend the ‘Concolón’: a crispy fried rice pot which is prepared table side…very tasty! We capped our lunch off with the ‘Suspiro Limeña’ for dessert and some Pisco Sours to drink. All delicious.“
“amazing experience as soon as you walk in!Me and my partner came in around 1pm super early for kbbq but didn’t regret it one bit! Cami our sever, super nice and friendly and super ready to get our meal started for us and also very attentive of any we need☺️!Will most definitely come back!!“
“The Best Ramen House In the World ?. The Ramen was Outstanding with flavor and levels of Hotness... Huge College Spot for The Youth.. but the Ramen was Beautiful and very Tasty...Vegetarian options: Yes they Have Vegetable Ramen it's Miso“
“First time here in Downtown Alexandria. Service was excellent, fast and polite. Food was amazing. Offer over looked are the bathrooms. Very clean. Great decor and atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again. If you are in the area, stop by and try their food. You will not regret it.“
“Wow everything we tried looked beautiful and tasted amazing. Pork and kimchi potstickers, veggie dumplings, green beans, and smashed salmon are what we tried. I don’t think you can go wrong. Love that you can order everything through toast tab too. Makes it simple.“
“It's been so exciting to see an entirely plant-based concept be so successful and expanding so rapidly and now that I have visited I absolutely see why. This was one of the best meals I've had in a while. My friend and I had been dying to try their plant-based sushi and not only did it blow us away but the other dishes we tried were equally as incredible. Here's what we got for two people. We were quite full and took some leftovers: - ahi watermelon nigiri (2 pieces) x 2: If you didnt know this was made of watermelon you could absolutely mistake it for the real thing. The texture is mind blowing and the flavor is on point. Amazing way to start the meal (and end it because we ended up ordering another round to finish our meal) - unagi eggplant nigiri (2 pieces) x 2: So delicious. Definitely must order. The eggplant is super tender, just like eel. - spicy tuna roll: we ordered the hand roll but I think the server misheard so we ended up with the maki but it wasn't a big deal and i wasn't upset to get to try their take on maki rolls. I think their rice could use some work but this was still tasty! - Dan Dan noodles: incredible. Our server advised us to get the Dan Dan noodles over the Singapore noodles entirely because of the saucy-ness of this dish and he did not steer us wrong. These noodles are drowning in sauce (in the best way) Even though it's a peanut sauce it was perfectly balanced and creamy. The noodles themselves had a great chew and the use of kamut (a grain) in the dish as a substitute for the traditional ground pork was inspired. - bang bang broccoli: broccoli has never tasted this good. I mean it, not only is the broccoli is shockingly crispy while being perfectly cooked through the center, but the broccoli itself tasted so creamy and delicious unlike any broccoli I have had before. And the bang bang sauce is bangin too. All this being said, if you are trying to be choosy and try the most unique dishes, I would probably skip this dish in favor of more sushi. Overall, this was an incredible, unique, and innovative meal and I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. This is how vegetables could and should taste, if only we put as much love into them as we do with meat. At least the chefs at Planta are listening.“
“I ordered beef moh moh with the sesame tomate sauce and it was delicious. The delivery was on time and the presentation was nice. I also had the Tamarind lemonade. It was a bit sweet for my tastebuds but the flavor was definitely there. I would order both again and plan to stop by in person during the warmer months.“
“Today I was in this place, and my first impression when I saw the beef soup I ordered was that it was very good, abundant and light, we also ordered some wings with the sauces on the side, and the frying of the wings was on point, crispy and juicy inside, it has been a very good experience, pleasant music and very good service. We hope to return soon.“
“Small, quaint hidden gem. Food is AMAZING!!! Reasonably priced. Everything is cooked super fast and brought out to your table. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Mixed croud- young adults and families. Fun pop culture decor all throughout.“
“Great spot for tea and healthy food, lovely presentation bento box. I had the lightly spicy vegan bean cakes today--Delicious and filling. Incredible selection of teas and tea accessories. Plesant staff. Will take friends there! Great location, tasteful casual decor, lots of windows.“
“I never have this a fried calamari in some where else. Only Sumo thai served 2 different sauces for it.It makes this dish pop up and so yummy until a last bite. All sushi is very good quality and rice wrapping is very thin. Mango sticky rice is nice presentation in a heart shaped. We will be back again. ??“
“Spices is always delicious. It’s one of our go-tos in the neighborhood and has literally never been a disappointment. When you have a spot like this, it’s not easy to remember to give them a review. It’s just such a part of our routine you forget how important online reviews are for restaurants.My personal favorites are their lychee martinis and crab wontons. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and the staff are always very kind.“
“This food was really tasty. The free garlic glass noodles were delicious. We had bao buns with pork and it had a great flavor and spice. The impossible bulgogi was impressive and a nice alternative since I don't eat beef. I would definitely come again when I want really tasty food.“
“I came here because my first choice was not available. To my surprise I had the meal of my life. All the dishes are meticulously prepared with nutrition, taste and presentation in mind. The owner of this restaurant should be elevated to a James Beard award. Definitely will come back every week!Vegetarian options: The sweet potato glass noodles are to die for!“
“Pretty easy breezy "Chipotle-style" causal Asian restaurant. I like BIBIBOP in general because customers has multiple options to create their own personalized bowls. Actually, I wonder if someone has calculated the number of possible bowl combination. This location is pretty clean with a decent amount of seating for small parties (2-3 people). Also, thought the workers at this location were EXTREMELY friendly and polite. While I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at a BIBIBOP, I definitely would revisit this location if I'm in the mood for a rice and noodle bowl and in the area (e.g., within 4-8 blocks of this location).“
“The food is consistently very good I love the tea service and the very large dining room downstairs. The staff are usually helpful and somewhat friendly. I wouldn't say the food is great value but it's a decent value for current Washington DC prices. The Teaism brew shop next-door, which I never realized was there until 2024 because the signage is so inconspicuous, has some really fantastic selections. Their buyer/curator has excellent taste !“
“First time going there, definitely not my last. Excellent dive restaurant for a quick bite. I love the mis of Mexican and Asian food in a plate. Ordered tacos (Grilled pork, spicy chicken and the steak). Price was excellent and it was definitely filling. Highly recommend!“
“This is our favorite sushi place in Old Town. Have been coming here since they opened maybe five years ago. The owner used to be a sushi chef at MoMo Sushi, which used to be our local favorite. His sushi here has consistently been top quality whereas we were disappointed with quality once or twice at MoMo and its always too cramped. We usually get the sushi combo.“
“Fantastic food and atmosphere. We're from out of town and needed some veggie places, and this place was just amazing. So easy, so fast, and every option sounded delicious so we tried so many different things. Cashew mozzarella, general tso's, firecracker, nuggets, fries, cookie, hot chocolate, everything, was so good!! Will probably come back before we go!“
“I tried the tofu pad see ew and it was amazing! Great flavor! The waitstaff was very kind and attentive!Dietary restrictions: They had very clear outlines of vegetarian options, and I was able to ask for them to not include eggs to make the dish vegan friendly. They also offer vegetable and tofu as options for their dishes.“
“Camouflage! This daytime only, casual looking lunch spot hides great sushi.Decor is utilitarian and reminds me of Tokyo business office worker lunch spots.I've been five times and all the fish has been fresh and expertly prepared.Sushi snob makes going into the office less painful.If fish is not for you, my buddy consistently has the beef Pho and loves it. They have a few other bowls that look great.Let's fill this place up and keep it thriving! Next time, lunch omakase!“
“#CeliacReviews: While visiting DC, went here 2x. Beside the menu being 100% gluten-free, it’s absolutely delicious. I cannot complain about anything and I want to sing Bibibop’s praises:? Varied menu including set bowls (vegetarian option) and make your own- all big portions for a very reasonable price!? I was so happy I could finally have japchae (sweet potato noodles) and bulgogi (seasoned beef) again without worry.? Food was fresh and tasted just as good the next day.? Free miso soup in store!!? The GF chocolate chip cookie was delicious, and my non-GF friends also thought so.?? Staff was extremely friendly, pleasant and helpful during both visits!? Great rewards app, even got a free bowl.Pictured: Bibibop fan favorite & make your own bowl with their take on bulgogi.Dietary restrictions: 100% gluten-free restaurant with Korean and Japanese influences.“
“Jumbo jumbo is my go-to spot when I crave Asian food. I always order the chili basil chicken; these chicken bites are perfectly seasoned every time. The boba tea and smoothies are always perfect. The ordering process is very smooth, and the place looks nice and clean.“
“So tasty, what a gem!! I ordered the CURRY LAKSA NOODLE Soup, pictured. It can be all plant based - I asked for mushrooms, spinach and broccoli to be added/substituted for the chicken, and with no hesitation they accommodated me! I'm so pleased with this Union Station fast casual option, located on the second level. If you take the stairs opposite the Amtrak ticket counter, you'll find it with big open air seating. This dish also includes tofu, vegetables, rice sticks & egg noodle combination in a coconut curry broth, with bean sprouts, fresh! green beans, and corn. Amazing, and spicy warm. They have non spicy foods, too. I'll upload the current menu.“
“We are from NYC. Had lunch with my family here and left my backpack in the restaurant. The guy in the front found my bag and hold my bag till I contacted him 2 hours later. People make good food and look out for community really touched my heart. Good people are always blessed?? thank you Sakura Express!“
“I grew up in Seattle and recently had a craving for just some basic Americanized teriyaki. First I tried Go-Stir Fry Express in Wheaton mall... was a bit disappointed, but it scratched the itch. Then I tried Hibachi Express in Kensington - Much better, not bad at all. But I like this one even more. They ask if you want extra teriyaki on top at the end, and they have more vegetables and chile sauce available (If I were to guess, probably just your run of the mill Huy-Fong Chili Garlic Sauce, but it's a nice contrast on your veggies and rice to the sweet . There's a white sauce too, but I cannot hang with mayo and I am 99% sure it's probably based on mayo. Only problem is that if I am going to Bestway across the street now, I have to decide between this, Aarash Market, or Pupuseria Vanessa if I'm hungry.“
“I found this place just walking around DC near my job and it has really good food for decent prices and reasonable portions. The first time I went I got the chicken tenders and fries and there were like 6-7 big tenders and the tray it was in was covered in fries. I just got the mini box today with chicken teriyaki and I finished it. I recommend it to anyone going there.“
“Takorean was given a high endorsement from an associate of mine to try while in Washington DC. They were not wrong.Cleanliness. 4.5 of 5. The restaurant was well maintained and appeared very clean.Service: 3.5 of 5. Staff was professional but not talkative to the customers. A little more interaction would have been nice for a first trial run.Food quantity 5 of 5. I ordered the slaw bowl that had romaine slaw with some kimchi slaw. For the meat I had chicken. Additions were tomatoes, pickled daikon radish, and cilantro. A lot of food, left the restaurant full.Food quality 5 of 5. Every bite was full of flavor and pleasant. The aroma of the food matched the taste. Though late in the day when I solicited the restaurant, the food was still fresh, delicious, and delightful.Price: $$ 15-20 per person would be reasonable, I didn’t chose a lot of options that could increase one’s bill.Overall I would give this restaurant a 4.5 of 5“
“Exactly what I want out of my casual Asian dining. Small place, unassuming, and old looking menu often mean the food is about to be great. We got the pork dumplings and pork buns. Both were packed with flavor. The chili sauce on the table was spicy enough to bring one single tear to my eye, perfect. Wish it wasn't cash only and that they had some music playing so it wasn't so quiet, but overall great experience and would recommend.“

“New to the area, and was eager to find a local Thai spot. Had the pad se ew and crab fried rice delivered, and boy was it delicious. Not too fishy on the crab, which I certainly appreciated. Will easily be ordering from this place again. Thank you!“
“It's close to home, so this is the place I go when I want Thai food! It doesn't feel like the portions are small, but the staff is friendly and since I don't like vegetables, I always ask for them to be omitted, and they listen to my requests :) I always order Pad Kra Pao, but the regular flavor isn't that spicy, so if you like spicy food, order spicier. suggestion!“
“Carry out location. Good food (Chicken Teriyaki), Friendly staff.Parking: This is a store front location in a small portion of a shopping center. Parking is available, but on busy days, you may have to walk from the large parking areaWheelchair accessibility: Handicap spaces are provided near this location“
“Fresh sushi & fantastic lunch specials! Everyone from presidents, to congressmen, to celebrities have dined here & loved the food & service as evident by the numerous signed pictures on the wall. This restaurant is also a quick walk away from the National Mall & is a perfect quick lunch while out “
“First time here and I was quite satisfied by my food. I went with my go-to, General Tso and it was delicious. There was just the right amount of sauce/meat/rice ratio. The service was average, I waited about 15 minutes for my order and was alerted once it was ready. The counters were clean and the visuals on the wall looked like what I ordered. There isn't dining space, but there is a decent sized waiting area and you're welcome to come and go while you wait. I'll be back to try some other dishes when I'm in the area.“
