Despite my years as a loyal Bikeeny customer, I only got around to trying BingeBowl recently. I wish I had discovered it sooner. It's a small menu, but every dish is made to perfection.
You can tell that they only use the freshest, highest quality ingredients, and that they put so much care and heart into every single item. I love the menu blurbs that provide cultural/historical context. The sampler bowl is a great choice if it's your first visit and you want to try a little bit of everything. My go-to is the Taste of Moldova Bowl with added chicken thigh, with stuffed cabbage rolls as a close second. Always with an order of meat pies on the side, of course (but all the pies are fantastic).
The pork and chicken are melt-in-your-mouth tender, though the chicken sometimes comes out a little dry (still good - just variable). The carrots are out of this world. The sauces really make the meal (especially the red sauce), although they come skimpy portions so you have to get 2 or 3 order to get enough sauce.
The dish that really blows me away is the walnut cream cake - it looks like a normal piece of cake, nothing special - but it's unexpectedly decadent and elegant, and even if you're enjoying it with a plastic fork on the couch in your pajamas, it will make you feel like the richest person in the world. The cake itself is light and fluffy, perfectly spiced with a complex and aromatic flavor profile. The icing is rich and subtly sweet, but not overpowering. I don't know how they do it, but whatever it is, it's working.
I could honestly rave about this place for hours, but I'll finish by saying that this food makes me happy, and my life is better with BingeBowl in it. (Just wish they'd change the name to something more appetizing.)
