"The Northern Virginia suburb of Annandale is known for a heavy concentration of Korean restaurants, but this small food hall has a nice mix of vendors selling all kinds of Asian specialties. There’s a reliable poke chain, PokeWorks, and a comfort food spot called Balo that serves everything from chicken wings to banh mi and curry laksa soup. There’s also soft serve, ice cream, and shaved ice from Sno Cream, a dumpling and hibachi shop, and a bar with solid happy hour specials round out the options. In downtown D.C., a scaled-down version of the Block offers Fil-Am fast food from Pogiboy, Asian-American pastries from Rose Ave., and another bar." - Kalina Newman
