"A Takoma Park mainstay since 1990, Mark’s Kitchen serves American and Asian-inspired dishes — including many vegetarian options — that are just as varied as the neighborhood. “I’ve been going here for 24 years, since before I could sit in a high chair,” a guest critic said after eating the jap chae noodles, and kimchi fried rice with bulgogi. “They make fresh vegetable broth every day.”" - Lenore Adkins
