I was in the mood for a diner breakfast. You know... eggs, seasoned homefries, and toast with jelly. I'm not too familiar with places to eat downtown so I found this place through Google maps. The place is nice and spacious. Upon entering, there is a menu board to the right. There's a big selection of omelets. So I ordered the Spinach omelet with homefries and wheat toast. The omlete was great. Nice and fluffy with a good amount of provolone cheese and spinach. The "homefries" were anything but. The fries were deep fried like they were making french fried and tossed in grilled peppers and onions. They were bite sized for a toddler. I like traditional chunky homefries. They also do catering and the platters I saw for pick up looked pretty good. I came here around 8:30 and the place is nice and quiet. So I would probably eat here again but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Falafel salad was terrible. Falafel was burned to a black crisp. This place went down hill. I remember it being great years ago, but this is the first time I’ve been back in a while. Just awful now. Won’t be back again.

So basically went here on a school trip. They served spaghetti, meatballs, chicken Parm, and salad/ veggies and some noodles For starters when I used the tongs to pick up the chicken it fell off and it was very mushy and soggy Don’t come here it’s disgusting and made me loose my appetite. Simone broke out in hives becuase of the lemonade My friend got sick becuase of the salad the meat was so processed ANWYAYS terrible place ew👎🏾

I had a very good egg sandwich, prepared from scratch on the spot. I was impressed to hear that they make all baked goods on the spot, with fresh yeast and quality flour. This is quite rare, I think. Very kind service, will definitely go back.

Food is great there. But in the morning they are always in a rush time because of online orders for catering and this was what I got for breakfast at G Street this morning. It s an egg, cheese and ham sanduiche. I didn' t like it at all, got dispointed!

Their bahn mi sandwich is the best I've ever had, tried so it in many other places and no one can compare! Every time I'm in DC I always make it a point to stop by and grab me a sandwich, even if it's to go!

It's DC, so lord knows I'm no stranger to overpriced salads, but at least attempt to make it seem like you are getting something for your $12. The "roasted" cauliflower appeared to have been roasted in the refrigerator and nowhere else and the rest of the salad was composed of lettuce, a LOT of red onion and some feta. Blech.

Went on a school trip and it almost gave all of us food poisoning. Everything was horrid. It was below that threshold. The drinks aren’t labeled, the broccoli was cold and sad, the spaghetti and noodles were tasteless and rubbery. The chicken looked like it was gum under someone’s shoe. The cookies were crunchy, but I doubt they are homemade. L Street Food.

Tried this place with a colleague who suggested it from recommendations from a different colleague. Upon reviewing the menu, I had to try the Kentucky sandwhich, mainly because I do like a crispy fried chicken breast, but with angry mayonnaise? That got my attention because Food Network chef Michael Chiarello has a recipe for that which I've made but always wondered how it would compare to others. It's basically mayonnaise with pan-roasted basil, chili, garlic and orange zest (yup it's some work) and then folded (after cooling) into mayonnaise with lemon juice. Theirs was pretty tasty, more spicy than mine, which I liked. The chicken was well fried and the mushrooms were a nice touch but a bit slippery to get in with a good bite. We got our food to go because, work, but at 1:30 pm, the main lunch rush was mostly gone and it was pretty relaxed and quiet inside. Would like to try some of the global menu next time.

I came here for a quick lunch and was satisfied! The menu has a lot of options, and the service is great! I had a small issue with my order, and it was fixed right away and super kindly as well. The food is pretty good! I liked the chicken satay, but I was underwhelmed with the sauce. Similarly, the cauliflower salad had some good flavors but was underdressed and underwhelming for $11. The falafel wrap and fries was tasty but hard to eat in a wrap. I'd come back here but probably would prefer to just pack a lunch next time.

The food was cold and there was a mean girl that tried to pull my glasses off. The cookie was rock solid and the tea was the best part of it but that isn't too good. would not recommend

G Street Food was AMAZING! I loved the fusion options and wish I could have come back here for dinner - or at least another day for lunch while I was in town. My colleague & I couldn't decide between several options, so we split the bulgogi/kimchi quesadilla and the Cubano sandwich. She ordered fries with hers & I ordered the roasted cauliflower salad with mine. The salad was so huge, I couldn't finish all of it, much less all the other food I ordered! I loved everything on it & because I didn't specify a lettuce (arugula or mixed greens), they out both in it - win/win! The quesadilla was so tasty. I took the Cubano back to my hotel to have later. While I'm sure the Cubano is vest served fresh, it was pretty amazing as a leftover too - cold straight from the fridge! Sorry that I didn't get any pics... we were too busy talking shop for work & chowing down on incredible food.

G Street was closed for a while during the pandemic, but it is back! For a smaller menu, the range is pretty broad - Thai, Japanese, American. The katsu curry and the chicken satay are my go-tos for lunch, though be forewarned that the portions are huge. I ask them to split them up into two containers if I'm having it to go. Their breakfast options are also great and they're happy to make reasonable substitutions.

Angela K.

Yelp
Very mediocre Katsu curry. The curry tasted like the curry blocks from the brand Golden Curry, but watered down. The Katsu was crispy but lacked flavor. Service was quick and I got my food in less than 10 minutes. The portion size was generous and will probably last me 2 meals.

Jen J.

Yelp
I really like this place! There are fewer and fewer places in this area for fast casual food for lunch. This is a solid place and I feel like it doesn't get enough attention because its location is a bit undescript. Their chicken satay is amazing and soooo much food for the price (nowadays post COVID)--I could eat this for two separate meals! It is huge pieces of chicken breast and comes with salad and rice and skewered vegetables. Show this place some love!

OMG traveling for work is ALWAYS a fun time to try new foods. This place did not disappoint. I had the lamb/chicken combo halal platter. The amount of food was impressive for the amount you pay. Not to mention the excellent quality! The ONLY reason I didn't give 5 stars is that some grilled pita would've been nice. It's not something they serve but my tastebuds wanted. Other than that, this spot is a MUST if you're ever in the area.

The food was terrible. The spaghetti was dry, the chicken was uncooked and soggy, and the broccoli was dry. The cookies were very hard and flavorless. The meatballs and pasta were the only good food and they were still pretty bad. I have it a 2 star because only some of the food was good.

Colin R.

Yelp
Pasta and broccoli was dry. chicken was soaking wet and uncooked with no seasoning. the meatballs were okay but the cookies were like bricks would not recommend.

Christian S.

Yelp
Meatballs were mushy so I didn't grab. Smelt of broccoli, pasta was wet and gross. Chairs were cheap and bent when sat on! Not the best. Chicken was foul and mushy! Drinks were the highlight. Service was nice gave a cookie at the end. Not Great...

Was in DC on business and looking for a quick bite. GStreet was close and the reviews were good. Cool place with an interesting concept. There was a lot of variety on the menu but the cheesesteak caught my eye. The sandwich was done well and I enjoyed it. Good flavor and the portion was good. I also got fries with it and again they were cooked to perfection. Service was quick and I really like the industrial look of the place. I got here before the lunch rush but it was soon packed. Wish I was closer as I would come here often.

I used to go to G Street when I worked in the area years ago. I had forgotten about this lunch spot because I just don't walk this way anymore. One day it hit me that I need to go back there and I asked my coworkers for days to come with me. About a week later somebody was finally intrigued enough to come with me. We enjoyed our dishes and showed another coworker. That coworker then decided to go back with me and he ordered 3 dishes in his 1st try. As he sat across from me at the lunch table and consumed to of those dishes at once he proclaimed that this would be his new perminent place. Since then I have been requested to plan his wedding to G street. Needless to say me and my entire office love the variety and the quality of the meals at this not so hidden treasure!

bro it tasted like I ate tardo and was terrible. broccoli smelled like bo(he's a ginger that doesn't shower) and it smelled like that throughout the entire restaurant. meat balls tasted like soap and expired meat. would not ever go there again

Austin G.

Yelp
In theory, I love G Street Food's concept- a mess hall serving street food from around the world. Their original location (which has since moved and changed) had tons of chefs making your food right in front of your eyes. It was lively and created the energy you want at a fun lunch spot. This location lacks the above and comes across as sterile. You order your food from a boring menu and it's really hit of miss depending on what you order. Out of safety, I go with a bahn mu sandwich, which is just okay. Where this place wins is they have a lot of seating in a quiet atmosphere and their donuts are AMAZING! Their chocolate glazed donut is big and not as over the top sweet as Astros down the road.

Get the Japanese Curry Rice! I feel so full and great after eating this. The curry is a combination of carrots, potatoes, chicken, onions, and chock full of taste. If you want more meat, you can get the Katsu curry but the Japanese curry rice already has plenty of chicken! I love the simplicity of the dish and even during peak lunch hour, I have never had to wait longer than 5 min for my food. They are fast and quick. The pricing of the food is fair. I paid I think about $11 for the Japanese Curry Rice and with the portion size my friend was able to make it her lunch and dinner. Good food for a good price.

this restaurant was very bad. I went here for a school trip & the food was not good at all. some peices of the spaghetti were still raw, and the cookie was like biting into a piece of wood. If you're coming here for a school trip, beware..

Joshua B.

Yelp
Just based on recent interaction. I actually like the food from here but went in during my lunch break which is limited and ordered a burger by itself. 5 people came and ordered and left afterwards. The guy who was supposed to be cooking it was watching games on his phone. Finally went back to the cashier who had to go down and tell the guy to get to it . Most of the customers here are from nearby offices and we have to grab and go so maybe make your job a priority

I visited this place on 12/19/19 to pick up lunch to-go. Food and First Impressions I ordered the Japanese katsu (panko fried chicken) curry rice and it was $11.75 ($12.93 with tax). The serving size was nice, large, awesome (Photos below). The broth was bland and definitely needed to be cooked with salt (or more salt, if any was used). The panko chicken was nice. Portion, again, was nice. The broth wasn't enough for my rice, but that may have been because I had extra rice in my bowl. I will have to use it for a day-two lunch with a rice-fitting sauce of some kind from another place. I still have most of the meal left, chicken, rice, and potatoes. Pick-up Experience Though it was my first time at this restaurant, once again, I used the Ritual app to schedule pickup, and it was prompt as expected. I picked; I left. Ambiance The restaurant looks nice, urbane-ish, tinted concrete floors, casual (photos below). Ample seating inside and some outside too. Inviting store front. This place is not far from McPherson Square Metro (blue line). My Conclusion I may/might-might try this place again just to see if another menu item is good and hopefully has more flavor (as brought out with salt).

DC school trip. We had the place to ourselves after closing. This was nice. 90 kids. Food was ok. Customer service was sad. Asked for a pitcher of water. "No pitchers available" they said. We had to refill the plastic oversized shot glasses they gave us from a juice dispenser. Everyone left thirsty. We have eaten at a different place each night on school trip. Worst place of the week.

Annabelle C.

Yelp
Sucked. It sucked bad. The Water tasted like dirt. Eggs were nasty, tasted like soggy celery puke. Bacon was fine, but it was all stuck together so some edges were completely raw and uneatable. The potatoes were meh and unseasoned, but at least they were cooked all the way, unlike the toast. The toast wasn't toast, just cold bread with grill marks. In all, the experience was awful and I would've asked for my money back if I wasn't on a school trip

G Street food had some of the worst food I have ever tasted in my whole life. In disgust my mouth sat while trying to enjoy my dinner, but no G street food had other things in mind. The service was terrible with workers completely ignoring me. The dissatisfaction was very disappointing for what I had high hopes in. I wouldn't recommend G Street Food to anyone with normal tastebuds. The seats gave me blisters on my rear end. The ambiance was very poor with bad quality lighting.

Charles L.

Yelp
I come here every once in a while whenever G Street Food offers Curry or Halal Lamb and Chicken as their MealPal selections. Food is decent - nothing too special. The reason I come back is that this place, unlike other places that offer MealPal, does not skimp on the food. I always feel full after eating their meals. 3.5 stars, but round up because with MealPal, it's cheap.

Genuinely brought me to tears. I'm on day 4 of a school trip- the food has been scary and mediocre at BEST. When I stepped into G street food, i thought I was going to eat food id regret later. This dinner exceeded my expectations and gave me the pasta and meatballs i needed and wanted and loved. With a 4% phone battery, empty stomach, a love for pasta, and aching feet this food was a 10/10. Compliments to the chef.

Thai chicken satay had great flavor, a little on the dry side. Veggies and rice cooked perfect! Husband had Chicken Banh Mi and it was really good with a sweet tangy sauce. Nice atmosphere and nice location!

The food was amazing!!! I went here for a school trip and they gave us great food on short notice. I know some people complain but I think it's great! A lot of people loved their straw pasta and cookies, I def recommend! The service is amazing and the chef and waiter were beyond kind! I loved this restaurant and so did my school five stars from me for sure!!!

I commend G Street Food for having an expansive menu and affordable prices. I've come here for lunch quite a few times because it's extremely convenient--my food always comes out super quickly, and the portions are generous. My favorite lunch options are definitely the chicken banh mi and the halal platter. Some items on the menu aren't as good as the others, though--for example, the curry is too watery, and the pork shoulder can be kind of dry.

3.5 stars is exactly right, yelp. I am rounding up because it's Friday! I ordered a broccoli and ham omelet with wheat toast with an americano. $10--par for the course for downtown I suppose. They were out of soy milk which was a disappointment, and wanted an extra $0.25 for hot sauce after I'd paid but relented when I told them I only had a credit card. Omelet was good but not great, not a ton of flavor. Toast tasted like something you would get at the supermarket. Also what's up with serving smuckers where the first ingredient is HFCS? I remember a lunch here I had a long time ago being much better than today's breakfast, so I would definitely come back for lunch, but probably not for breakfast.

Shruthi S.

Yelp
This place is a hit or miss. I used to go every morning for breakfast but then they had a phase where several times I went there was no croissant available for breakfast sandwiches so I stopped going. After a couple months, I thought I'd try it again so I went and ordered a egg white and cheese on English muffin. The lady confirmed w me that I asked for egg white, acknowledged it, and then when I got my food and checked it at work and it was egg w the yellow and on some different kind of bread. I double checked to see my order was the right one and it was- I won't be coming back here unless I have no other option.

Kevin M.

Yelp
A great spot that I would not of found without Yelp! Extremely reasonable prices when you're on a budget. Lots of locals and workers eating here as well. The sandwiches were YUGE and extremely delicious! We might be back one more time or two before we depart the area. Again a great little gem of a spot for a great breakfast!

My G Street Food review is for both the restaurant and their catering services Restaurant: I didn't know that G Street had a restaurant and close to my work! A couple of colleagues and I went for lunch and we were not disappointed. It was rather busy and we lucked out with a table on the upper level for our big group. I got the Thai chicken skewers with the peanut sauce and it was delicious. The sauce was sweet and went perfectly with the the rice and veggies. The service was great. Now that I know the restaurant exists, I'll be visiting more often! Catering: G Street is my go-to catering option when I order for work. I usually put in orders for over 30 people and they have never been wrong. Everything is always delivered early (not on time, but early) and is fresh. I've never had a bad experience with them and I've gone as far to send complicated orders with various dietary restrictions. They're my go-to option. You should try their boxed lunches if you're catering for a large work meeting!

If you want big food portion, this is your place! I was introduced to this place by a co-worker couple weeks back and now finally got around to trying it. I got the Halal Platter - Combo (Chicken and Lamb) for about $10.50 including tax. The portion is huge! They give you a good amount of protein over a bed or rice and salad, topping all this off in a white yogurt sauce and red chili sauce. For me, the first few bites of the chicken tasted good (maybe because I was starving?), but after a couple bites I wasn't too big of a fan. The Lamb on the other hand is super tasty! It doesn't have that weird stench that you can sometime taste in lamb meat, which is great! With this huge portion, I'm set for both lunch and dinner today :). My co-workers also suggested the Japanese Curry Rice, she said it was really flavorful and filling. Might have to get that next time! I would recommend this place for a quick lunch pick up if you're in the area. They have a variety of things such as sandwiches and amazing looking salad options. Definitely go before the lunch rush because this place can get really packed.

*****This is a catering review***** The first time I used G Street for catering, they didn't have an actual catering department--and it showed. I should mention that they weren't terrible, but they weren't memorable either. I didn't think I would use them again until I got an email from Jen, the new catering director at G Street. She asked if she could stop by and talk about using them for catering needs. We met and she gave me some brochures and free donuts...nice :-). That was in 2013 and I still use them for catering. The members of my organization love the food (as staff as well) and the service is great. Jen is so flexible--I had some last minute meetings come up and she has been able to come through for me. I mostly order sandwiches but I think the fan favorites from their catering menu are the katsu curry and the Peruvian chicken with yucca. Also, they are always on time! If you are in downtown DC and need catering, you should consider G Street.

I ordered a bagel w/ cream cheese and was not satisfied. I'm my order took 10 minutes, despite being the only customer in the restaurant. They seemed more worried about talking to each other. The bagel was not toasted, although it looks like the tried to put it over an open flame. Probably won't go back for breakfast.

Rohit G.

Average place for morning breakfast. Little bit different than your regular coffee shop like D&D. I would say it is like coffee meets lunch kind of place.

I'm glad that this place finally opened up next to my office. It literally is about two steps away. Today is the second day that it's been open, and it is still pretty chaotic. There were four people behind the cash register, but only two people were taking orders. I guess people were training? Walking in, I love the huge illuminated menu to the right, it is pretty extensive and changes throughout the day from breakfast to lunch. I also liked how bright the restaurant is and the ample seating (including patio). More importantly, I like that they serve wine and beer. The food pick-up process was a bit of a mess though. I waited at least 15 minutes for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel, even though there were only a couple of people ahead of me (one of which only got a bagel with cream cheese). There were four cooks preparing the food, yet they still all appeared to be lost in the sauce and were stepping over each other and confused. I don't get that... The sandwich was pretty good, although it was sloppily put together. The bagel was the best part (I believe they have wheat, white, raisin, blueberry, onion, everything and asiago). The asiago bagel had a lot of flavor. I will likely be back, literally because of convenience and the fact that it's new. I hope they get things more organized soon though.

New G street food 3rd restaurant opened! They served for dinner and brunch also. I tried weekend brunch menu. It was really unique american menu but it was really tasty and delicious! We ordered french toast Benedict, fried chicken caesar salad and Mexican breakfast. It was really good! We also had really good white wine 'hidden crush' and sangria.!!:) G street food is really cute spot for weekend brunch!

Jam C.

Yelp
Great spot to grab some tasty lunch at reasonable prices. My go to is the Katsu curry rice. The katsu portion is pretty generous so to avoid food coma at work I would usually save half for another meal. This dish never fails to satisfy! The bulgogi kimchi quesadilla is good too. I only wish it had more kimchi in it. Skip the halal platters though, the flavors on that are confusing and they taste a lot more Asian. I usually do take out here but they have plenty of tables. Try to go before the lunch rush though because it gets really crowded. They also introduce new items on their menu on a regular basis.

I found out a new branch of G Street Food was opening from an article in the Washington City Paper. I was particularly intrigued by its street food brunch menu. As I'm always excited by new brunches in the city, I was eager to try it out and expected bold, bright flavors. Alas, that wasn't to be. A quick glance at the menu- spam, porchetta, fried doughs and meats of all kinds- should practically guarantee a morning chock full of sodium. However, the majority of what I tasted at our brunch was bland, flavorless, vastly lacking in seasoning. That was the most disappointing aspect of my brunch here. The strong flavors I expected from the eclectic international menu simply were not there, and I'm not sure if, despite being a new restaurant, more time and more tweaking will help fix what is ultimately a fundamental problem with the recipes and the approach. The atmosphere wasn't much to speak of; not intrusive, fast casual, and very empty.We were the only ones at brunch on a Saturday morning. The service was attentive with drinks but our waiter seemed exhausted despite us being his only table. There were several items on the menu that they were "out" of, such as the sesame doughnuts, charred duck wings, and Mexican breakfast; not a minor number of menu items, but I do expect this will improve over time. We ordered a mix of appetizers and entrees: Ukoy: baby shrimp and sweet potato fritters. The first few bites were an absolute pleasure; the pungent shrimp paste that became an acquired taste for me growing up eating Filipino food, balanced out by the sweet softness of the sweet potato. Soon, however, the dish became entirely too greasy and fell apart as I tried to eat it. The sweet and sour sauce helped cut out a bit of the grease, but I couldn't finish it. Fried ju mok bap: I'm somewhat incredulous at the rise of spam in restaurants. Unfortunately in this dish the spam was not prominent at all. What little bits of it were lost in the rice ball. What you had in the end was a crispy, pink rice ball with the majority of flavor coming from the pineapple and pork bits provided on the side. I couldn't finish this either. Jagerschnitzel mit eir: To be fair I knew i couldn't tackle this dish after so many appetizers, and simply out of an inability to eat so much protein; this came with an entire schnitzel, three eggs, frankfurters and breakfast potatoes. I barely touched it in the end because it lacked salt. It was the most bland breakfast dish I ever came across. The salt and pepper shakers at the table barely helped; each component really should have been seasoned properly while cooking. The breakfast potatoes were practically cubed mashed potatoes; no crispiness whatsoever. The schnitzel tasted entirely of oil. The only saving grace was the frankfurter, which would be hard to mess up in any case. My friends got a variety of other dishes, such as the chicken tamale (one liked this, one didn't); the french toast benedict (which they thought was okay but could have used more syrup; I completely agree. The eggs were interesting at least; poached and then fried); the BBQ hokien mee (my friend liked this; essentially lo mein with a lot of smoke flavor); and the risotto arrancini (not as sweet as we thought it would be, but still decent). I'm happy that I tried G Street Food and I'm happy that a new brunch is in town. There's a lot of potential in the menu, and no doubt there may be new dishes from a multitude of other countries to try. But for now this brunch is middling and I wouldn't return anytime soon; I would sooner go to Masa 14 for the strong, vibrant flavors I expect from an international brunch assortment.

This review is for breakfast ONLY. I ordered an egg, bacon, and American cheese sandwich on wheat. The bread was more grilled than toasted so it was more floppy than crispy. The fillings were good. I also had a massive traditional donut glazed in chocolate. It wasn't worth the calories. The chocolate glaze was delicious but the donut part tasted a little too much like Crisco, which some people might like, but I find unappealing. I also got a decaf and it looked delicious, but it tasted bland. There is good decaf out there. I am still going to try this place for lunch and the cashier and cook were very friendly.

Jabez J.

Yelp
Wanted a quick bite to eat after a long week in DC and heading back home on the plane. The steakhouse next door recommended this place for great salads. I purchased the small Vietnamese salad which was suggested by the cashier, so I got a small one. The salad was great and flavorful. I had a side of lemon and oil salad dressing, as well as, the Asian salad dressing which gave the salad more of a twist. For me the small was just enough. I believe they have the sizes. The small salad with an apple juice was about $10 but since I was hungry, and wanted something quick before I got on the Metro for my flight this hit the spot.

I went here with colleagues who were interested in exploring the local lunch spots. The menu is super diverse, which was nice as it allowed for the diverse tastes of the group. I had heard that the banh mi sandwich and Halal platter were good choices, but got overwhelmed by the options and ordered the Japanese curry rice. It was good, but nothing spectacular. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other options. It was a hearty serving of food.

Michiko G.

Yelp
I work a block away and this is my go-to lunch spot. I've literally never had a bad meal and most of the time, they last me at least 2 lunches worth. They are extremely quick and reasonably priced for the massive amount of food you get. Along with the tasty lunch, I am always greeted by a polite and efficient register-person. Their Japanese curry is my favorite thing and I've definitely eaten it multiple days in a row for lunch (no shame!). This is my favorite work-day lunch spot in DC!

Street food is something very dear to me. The best way to experience a culture is through food, and the food that packs it in the most is found on the streets, either in stalls or out of food trucks. But, there are a few problems here: we can't always travel, and well food trucks aren't for everyone...\ Enter the street-food inspired cafe. In theory, it offers a safe way to experience the best foods in the world without leaving the country. But this isn't why I came here. I came here for a quick lunch before I headed back to the burbs. I needed something I could order, get made, and consume before my parking meter ran out, and this was the most "interesting" option. The menu is pretty eclectic, and it seems there's a bit of everything on there. I was tempted to get the Halal chicken platter, but chicken and rice is always a disappointment outside of 53rd and 6th ;). Instead, I opted for a dish that I could safely eat every day for the rest of my life....Japanese curry rice. After a brief wait, my order came up in it's take-out box. That was a nice touch, especially since the portions here are well...gigantic! Especially for the price (My curry + a bottle of Ito En tea=~$11 or so) First thing I noticed: the rice...definitely no where near what an actual Japanese curry would come with. It was longer grain, drier. But I forgave it, because the curry was complete with carrots, onions and potatoes (no strange peppers or tomatoes etc floating around in there...) as well as plenty of chicken. Normally, I'm going to go for beef curry, but hey, chicken is good too..As I dug in, I realized that the curry was a little oilier than I've ever had, and the spice blend was off, and way too mild. Also, sliced pickled daikon on top..? Ugh. If you can't take the time to chop it, there's pretty good packaged fukujinzuke on the market....Big slices of daikon...even pickled are tough to chew through.. I guess I've been spoiled by my guy's family, as well as actual Japanese curry shops... I'm still intrigued by the Halal chicken platter. Maybe I'll update my review after I get it a shot.

Bulgogi Kimchi Quesadilla $8 (5/5 NOMs) Super fusion mode activate! Excited to try some unique quesadillas at this new location for Asian, Hispanic, American fusion place in McPerson Square, DC. They came up with an ultimate fusion dish that combines together the spiciness of homemade kimchi, meaty goodness of bulgogi, and gooey goodness Mexican four cheese blent. All that in quesadilla form. Served with a side of some nomnom guacamole. No wonder this is one of their most popular lunch orders. You should really check it out. Banh Mi $9 (5/5 NOMs) You had me at first bite. Super excited to try Vietnamese sandwich at this new location for Asian, Hispanic, American fusion place in McPerson Square, DC. Get ready to taste something like you've never tasted before. Such a unique sandwich that no wonder this is one of their most popular items. There is so much flavor that at first bite in your taste buds get amazed. So amazed you just have to take another and another bite. So carefully crafted this could be one of the best Banh Mi sandwiches in town with perfect combination of Roasted Pork, Prosciutto, Pickled Vegetables, Jalapeños and Mayo. Served on very soft in housed backed baguette bread. Check out their other locations in Dupont and near White House.

When they first opened I was so excited that G Street was next door to my office. In fact I used to make the walk to the original location from time to time for lunch even though it was 15 minutes each way. The honeymoon period is over though. Prices have risen, quality has fallen and I'm probably a little bit tired of the menu as well. They also ditched the idea of being open at night or on the weekends. My favorite is still the socca which is a pancake with a lentil stew on top of it. It's delicious, if a little greasy and leaves me heavy feeling. I also enjoy the tofu bon mi because the baguettes are good (though sometimes if you come in late and they run out they will substitute a different bread without telling you, which never works as well). The fries are hit or miss because they aren't cooked consistently but when they are done right (well done) they are some of the best fries in town. Unfortunately, it's probably only about 50 percent of the time that they come out well. It's still in my lunch rotation but the relationship is souring and my eye is wandering.

The omelet really good and a great value for downtown D.C. Awesome soul music playing and clean. If you've got time to kill before a meeting this place rocks. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars: you can get a western omelet but not a ham and cheese one. You can get a sausage and egg sandwich but not a sausage and cheese omelet. The woman at the counter seemed so disinterested in being there this Thursday morning. Too bad because this deserved 5 stars.

I love this place so much. After spending my entire summer eating lunch here I feel the need to leave a review and just let the world know how great it is. They have reasonably priced, delicious food and they have a wide variety of it as well. Personally, my favorites are the bhan mi and the Thai chicken satay, but anything you get here will be incredible!!!!
