  1. Don - I see this letter you refer to was from 2021. However, wishing you lots of success and happiness on your future endeavors
  2. Their outside appearance is unassuming, however the inside is nice and the presentation of selection is beautiful. I have been a few times and have not been disappointed
  3. Hey Ktmoomau! We are happy you found us! I love the in depth details about the experience you had. (A little secret, our bread is only 3 ounces! The way it expands in our clay oven makes it seem larger than it really is..and IT'S VEGAN We do offer a veggie platter that has all of our cooked vegetables over rice and comes with bread. Please know that we cater to all dietary needs and can gladly swap out any carbs for more veggies. If you get a chance, come by our Courthouse location, the eggplant stew that is prepared there is AMAZING! I thank you for checking us out and look forward to serving you in the near future.
  4. Don! Happy new year and thank you so much, I hope all has been well with you! Also, a thank you to cheezepowder for forwarding our exciting new info. We are thrilled to have 2 locations. To share a bit of info, the courthouse location has more seating (close to 50 to be exact) we do offer the same menu as our original Lee highway location but have added weekday lunch specials, vegetarian samosas and a couple more vegan veggie sides that we are unable to do at our smaller lee highway kitchen You can check us out at www.courthousekabob.com or feel free to email me directly with any questions ! courthousekabob@gmail.com
  5. I will say I had boat noodle soup last weekend over at Rabieng Thai in Falls church that BLEW ME AWAY it was so good (Sorry Crystal Thai..don't hate me!)
  6. Some of their dishes still are on the sweeter side (The sweet and sour chicken was almost like eating pure candy 😣) The Street food I have had the boat noodle soup and Sukiyaki which are very good, I'm just a sucker for Panaang Curry
  7. Thanks for adding that..that may help a bit too lol
  8. Under new management and located in Sterling VA this place hits the mark for all things kabob and a restaurant should be. Great food, cleanliness and customer service. The grape leaves and bone in chicken are perfectly seasoned with the perfect char. If you're in the Sterling area I would definitely say to try it out 😄
  9. I wait for the day INO hits the east coast. I'd literally work out 7 days a week just to eat it more than once every few months I travel back to Cali
  10. I spent many years every summer traveling to Ocean City, MD and surprised I had never tried a small place nearby I was staying called Crabcake Factory on 122nd St. From the outside it looks like a small neighborhood bar, not much to offer but ohhhh man! I had the best crab cakes I've had by far anywhere in the DMV and west coast! I had their signature 5oz crab cake with a side of fries and coleslaw. The crab cake was jumbo lumps held together with possibly a thin egg batter, there was ZERO fillers, just pure crab and old bay The coleslaw had a nice creamy crunch and the fries (I drenched with vinegar) added the perfect amount of acidity. Service was friendly, they were super busy with the Memorial day weekend crowd so it was fine if service was a little more slow. Overall highly recommended!
  11. My favorite Chinese place! The duck, kung pow chicken, garlic sprouts, lo mein and orange chicken wings are out of this world. You can see bits of fresh orange zest in the sauce. I'm sure it's not so much traditional for orange chicken wings but they are definitely delicious.
  12. Their portions were huge and at a lower price on their food truck. There's a compensation when moving from a food truck to a brick and mortar space, price change or portion change. They do have quality food which would definitely be worth the up charge in price. Wishing them all of the best of success!
  13. Restaurants tend to limit the distance not only to improve delivery times but more so because it is a liability. In cases of an accident, both the driver and business is held liable. If a business expands their driving distances to populated areas where accidents are more frequent or other states (DC/MD no matter how close you are to those state lines) you open the doors to greater risk of accident. Shall that happen the insurance premium for a business owner goes up.
  14. What I want to know is how does Blanca Gamaz go from living in Dupont Circle/Friendship Heights to Benning Road?!
  15. I've never been a fan of fusion food when it comes to tacos. I recently tried Taco Saam; a korean fusion taco spot located in Falls Church Culmore shopping center. Something about these they are doing right. I got a mix of 4 tacos, (2) Authentic Mexican carne asada and pollo tacos and (2) fusion Korean bulgolgi and galbi. The authentic Mexican tacos weren't anything extraordinary I would come back for. The bulgolgi was more on the sweet side- didn't have much depth to it other than a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds on top. Something about the beef short rib galbi had me! Perfectly seared meat, good balance of sweet/salty topped with a crunchy spicy kimchi. The best part I must commend is making the tortillas fresh to order. I do think that has a leg up on a lot of other places serving tacos. The establishment was clean, well kept.A very small area with about 6 bar stools only at the counter. Service was average.
  16. I agree, the coconut ash ice cream is very good although walking around with a black tongue afterwards from the charcoal color, not so much
  17. As far as portion and flavor, Tortas Y Tacos La Chiquita in Arlington has good fish tacos. Living in CA a number of years the simplicity of an authentic taco is key; cilantro, online and squeeze of lime is just about all one needs and this place does it well. All their menu items are done very well. My only complaint is their carne asada has taken major short cuts, "steak-umms" meat chopped up does not constitute carne asada by any means in my book.
  18. That statement gave me a good laugh..I can totally relate to having these cravings
  19. Woo Lae Oak is good, Han Gang depends on what you like to order IMO.. Honey Pig just seems overly marinated, you can't enjoy the flavor of the actual meat...used to be very good but as it popularized something about it changed
