A friend last night was raving about this place and I couldn't find a thread for it here. It's a weekday-only, lunch-only place. Inconvenient, but maybe worth a trip one workday. DCist covered it last year, couldn't find coverage in wp, etc. Mangialardo & Sons, Inc. 1317 Pennsylvania Ave., SE 202-543-6212 Metro: Potomac Avenue

Had a nice softshell over corn risotto at CF Folks for lunch today. Not a bad deal for $11.50.

I must confess that I'm more than a little excited to write DR's first review of a restaurant although "restaurant" might be overstating things given their lunch-crowd focus and their seating for about 19. For lunch, I purchased take out from Suki Asia on Rhode Island Ave. NW although I should say that my office is on RI and this place is on the street behind what I consider RI ave but whatever. Today was my second attempt. I went a few days ago and it was mobbed at 12:40. Today I went about 12:15 and there was a line, but a lot shorter. By the time I left at about 12:30, there was a line out the door so this place obviously has a following. It Asian Fusion carry out basically. Pho, Sushi, Don, ect can all be ordered. For DC, I think it's cheap too. My lunch was 6.99 (daily special) + 3 for a roll. For lunch I ordered spicy chicken don (rice bowl), which comes with miso soup, "salad", edamame, and rice with steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Don: meat dry, sauce good but mildly spicy, rice fantastically wonderful, veggies not over cooked. Would not order again. Miso: mediocre. How hard is this to get right? Salad: iceberg with fabulous wasabi dressing. Put some more and different veggies in this and I'd be satisfied. California Roll: I had to b/c we all know them and it was fine. Nothing to complain about or love. Would order again. I will be back. I would order a roll lunch and perhaps bibimbap, which might be their most popular item. Also, I saw a guy eating Pho and it looked good though pale. Since I love pho, I might as well try.
