Gelinda: Well known for their Korean fried chicken. You can order wings, drumsticks or strips served with a side of diced radishes which are really tasty. Parking can be tight on National's game night.
Gelinda: Great chicken. Love the side of diced radish especially since I don't like celery.
Hiran Tudawe: The chicken wings are amazing! And the fries. Dumplings are alright. Spicy dumplings have a serious kick.

Ashish Arya: Wow. Great restaurant and great service. The crispy spinach is flaky and melts in your mouth (I don't even like spinach). Entrees: lamb chops are tender, black cod melts and chicken tikka masala yum.
Eric C: This is Indian food elevated to a whole other level. Chicken Tikka Masala deliciously rich and flavor packed. Unlike any other restaurants version. P Chat: crispy spinach makes me want thirds!
Katelynn Waclawski: Chicken Tikka and Naan is amazing! Best Indian in DC I'll be back!

Robert G: Coffee, fried chicken and amazing Asian food
Behrad Eats: Don't leave without ordering the Taiwanese Fried Chicken and Bread made with organic chicken, five spice caramel, & housemade bread loaf.
Sophia H: Maketto fried chicken was amazing! The skin has the tongue-tingling spiciness of Sichuan peppercorns, which I love. Cambodian ground pork curry was great too.

Alyssa Guo: While ramen is good, I really loved the chicken dan dan mian. Very well made
Steven Androphy: Went around 2pm on a Monday and had no wait. Pickle plate, dumplings (get them steamed), Taipei curry chicken, and kimchi were all outstanding.
Jenni: Red miso and their steamed fried chicken buns are amazing. My friend got a cocktail (alt-f5) which was also delicious. Make a reservation...much easier than waiting an hour in line!
Yousif D: Go for the chicken shawarma special!! It's one of a kind!! Most authentic I ever tried or tested here in the United States.
Hazem Sharaf: The chicken shawerma is awesome. It tastes exactly like the ones I tried in Cairo abd Beirut. The thoumeya (garlic dip) that accompanies it is unimaginary. Also the fries have nice spices.
Ranini Pastel: The hummus and the chicken shawarma here were so delicious! Definitely sated my appetite and for just $15. Delicious food, good view/atmosphere upstairs.

John Wetenhall: Friendly staff and amazing food. The brisket and pork ribs were excellent. Chicken wings were the unexpected surprise - absolutely amazing. Finish it off with a pie! Only thing missing is sweet tea.
John K: The brisket is some of the best I've ever had! Pork tips and dry rub wings are good as well. While they're looking to expand, this is a takeout place with 6 small bar seats.
ryan: Brisket, BBQ, and smoked wings are GREAT. Service with a smile type of atmosphere makes you want to come back again and again. I like how they have a "food made ready" approach. Food is always fresh!
