This place is it! I’ve seen a number of video reviews about this place, so I had to try. It’s a plant-based Asian fusion restaurant with delicious eats on the menu. I got the firecracker cauliflower and the chimi chimi egg roll. For the chimi chimi egg roll, I swapped the agave for their seasonal pumpkin sauce and it was delicious! I would definitely check them out soon, as they offer seasonal dishes. Just an fyi, it’s easier to pay using the cashless method (tap to pay or card). You can pay using cash, however it has to be the exact amount.

Another great vegan place to add to my list. I ordered the fried cauliflower salad and it was great. This would easily be a place I would do for lunch in DC.

Food was fine, lacked a defining taste, Tofu’s breading wasn’t crispy as you’d want it to be. Rice was overcooked and the soy sauce wasn’t a bold flavor (soy sauce felt in the background to a bunch of other flavors that were uninspiring) Quality control needs to be re-visited

I visited here not once, but twice, over the course of a 4-day business trip. I may have been the only vegan in the group, but it was actually my omnivore coworker who suggested it the second time ((🥲)). And in fact, initially, my other omnivore coworker told me about it after hearing good things from a local. That being said, I don't think I could have avoided this place if I tried. Obviously, it was calling my name. On both occasions, I visited in a group of coworkers. We all really enjoyed our food and the chance to sit down together. I wouldn't say the atmosphere is crowded, but I can tell this is a popular place. I was impressed by everything I ordered. The first day, I got the General's Chicken bowl (half salad half rice). The "chicken" was fried perfectly, and the sauce was great over everything. The second visit, I just decided to be wild and get the giant version of the Disco Stick Egg Roll... Absolutely zero regrets. It was heavy/oily like you'd expect from an egg roll, but the inner fillings are there at the perfect ratio. It really is a giant egg roll. I'm still kind of in awe of it.. Oh yeah, and I also got a Wonton Soup that day.

Some of the best vegan bowls I’ve ever had! We tried six different items from the menu and loved them all. The flavor in the dishes is really incredible. I love the balance of rice/grain, salad, and the “meat” topping. It really is the type of food that fills you up and leaves you feeling good. Would definitely recommend coming here!

I’m an omnivore but I loved the food at Pow Pow! Some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had. I got a regular (bigger) Buddha Bowl which was more than enough. I can’t get over how healthy yet delicious it was! Definitely coming back soon

What a delicious vegan spot! I had a cashew cream bowl, trolley fries, their wonton soup, fried rice bowls, their banana chocolate croissant desert and the Buddha bowl. It was all delicious. A very clean facility and attentive staff members. Everyone was great. High vibes there, and I loved the setting. I highly recommend!

Oh my goodness, I happen to see this establishment in passing. I'm not vegan but I was curious and wanted something on the healthier side so I stopped by. The ambience was welcoming and there were 2 kiosks where you can order your food. I ordered the general tso's with a base of half rice and half salad. The food was AMAZING. Fresh, flavorful absolutely delicious!!! To me it tasted better than chicken! I was so pleasantly surprised and wish we had one in my home state. I would highly recommend it!
