Reren - Review - Chinatown - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"For solo diners, Reren is a quiet lunchtime pick with impeccable service, affordable options, and really great food. When you walk into the restaurant, there's a mural of mummified noodles boiling in a pot of soup that you kind of just have to see it to believe. Stare at it mindlessly as you eat your order of beef and broccoli with headphones on—or read a book as is customary for most of the diners inside. Service is quick and the staff is willing to walk you through the menu. That said, if you’re open to trying something new (we’re looking at you General Tso soldiers over there), we recommend the Crazy Fish. The lightly battered flounder tossed in a bed of garlic and freshly chopped onions. It’s aromatic, spicy and an all around great meal. photo credit: Reema Desai photo credit: Reema Desai" - Omnia Saed
