Carla Hall’s Favorite DC Restaurants

"“I went there for one of my birthdays. My husband took me there, because he knew that it was one of my favorite places. Chef Angel shows what is possible with Korean food. The menu changes all the time but it is clean and bright. We had the Yache Mandu with the Impossible meat which were just delicious. What I love about his food…not only is it beautiful and flavorful, but you feel like you’re traveling, you know? The summer salad is my raw thing. I never let them take it because I only eat part of it initially and I keep it so that when I eat other things, I can supplement the food as it comes through. We did the branzino, which was great. Oh my god, the fried rice. My husband didn’t have that because it had shaved ribeye, but ooh, the fried rice is amazing. The bibimbap, boom, classic, delicious. And then you get to pick your pickles. I think we did all the pickles because you need all these pickles to go with the rich things.”" - brennan carley
