"This Capitol Hill restaurant offers a twist on the basic pho pho-rmula. You can get dried rice noodles or fresh ones, which are wider and chewier, imparting a different texture than the thinner noodles common around town. (If you get fresh, eat them fast, as they will otherwise start to crumble.) Beyond that, the broth is excellent — fresh and onion-y and full of flavor even without the hot sauce or jalapenos. Xom is the sibling restaurant to Ong Lam Bistro in Roosevelt, both of which opened in 2023 and serve the same pho." - Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle, Jay Friedman
"Xóm is a Vietnamese restaurant located inside Capitol Hill’s Chophouse Row. The space has both long wooden tables for large groups, and smaller tables for anyone who might want more phở and broken rice plates than company. They also have a weekend brunch featuring croissant waffles and Bloody Marys with chin-su chili sauce. " - Kayla Sager Riley
"By Tae at Chophouse Row in Capitol Hill closed its counter after two years, and I followed Chef Sun Hong and his wife Erin as they served playful, often-improvised prix fixe lunches that blended influences from Korea, Japan, and Southern California—everything from a twist on gyeran-jjim to mung bean pancakes with kimchi, hand rolls, and avocado mousse—while they search for a new spot." - Eater Staff
"I saw long lines at Chophouse Row while By Tae held its playful, inventive midday meals there for two years, with customers queuing for Hong’s regularly switched-up prix fixe lunches." - Gabe Guarente
"A longstanding Japanese favorite that held down Broadway Alley in Capitol Hill for more than 30 years, HaNa was among the earliest sushi destinations in the neighborhood with an accessible, lengthy menu that included katsu and yakitori; after being closed since spring due to COVID-19 measures, the co-owner confirmed it will not reopen." - Gabe Guarente
