Behrad EatsSeptember 16, 2011Great new place! Get the grilled steak on brown rice with spicy corn, spicy red curry, papaya slaw and crushed peanuts. But be careful, its very spicy! Don't forget the pomegranate ginger ale!
Sarah HarvardJanuary 28, 2015Get jasmine rice, steak laab, green beans, and all the toppings you can get with mixed peanut and red curry. Spicy and delicious!
💫CocoNovember 12, 2015Try the chicken satay, rice noodles, charred corn, peanut sauce, and garlic. Delicious and just a little spicy!
Mark J.March 22, 2015Delicious noodle bowl! Had an issue when my order was rung up, but the manager was very polite and courteous and got it taken care of quickly.
Kiara H.September 11, 2013This place puts a spicy Korean twist on Chipotle. The food was delicious. I recommend getting a fountain drink to wash down your food with. 5 stars!
Winnie TamJune 19, 2014I'm never the type of person that will go back to the same place and order the same thing each time, except here because the meatballs are THAT good. Don't miss out.
Nicolas PrattJuly 17, 2013The Asian version of Chipotle. Delicious food, and a good assortment of flavors.
AbDecember 28, 2016Dependable. Consistent. Delish. Expiramented with a tofu and peanut sauce mix similar to gado-gado. Worked!
Sara CSeptember 29, 2011must love spicy foods! food is so good but grab an inexpensive drink so that you can guzzle it/ get refills while your mouth is on fire
Slade RipfireJanuary 3, 2013I was scared of the spice with all the tips left here. I have to say the spice is not as much as I expected, this coming from someone who constantly enjoys mapo tofu though.
Jennifer HuangSeptember 27, 2011be careful what combination you get--in my mind there's no way the eggplant can "go well" with either curry sauce. tasty, not as much food as I would have liked, but gotta try it once, right?
ArdvaarkSeptember 17, 2013The meatballs. Eat them. I cannot stress that enough. Let me say it again, just so we're clear: Get the meatballs.
Rachel L.December 20, 2014Chipotle did a great job w this concept. Really excellent flavors. Love the meatballs.
Errol ReyesFebruary 17, 2012It's a hip pan-Asian eatery with music and good, reasonable and somewhat Vietnamese/Thai/Burmese influenced cuisine. They have brown rice...yey!
Anthony ZacharzewskiApril 10, 2016By the people behind Chipotle, a similar "pick your items" model for Asian food. Works less well than for Mexican.
Dan NguyenJanuary 9, 2013Wish they'd post nutrition info ... Get the brown rice, chicken satay, eggplant with Thai basil, tamarind vinaigrette, and cilantro.
Washington PostOctober 12, 20112 stars in Tom Sietsema's Fall Dining Guide 2011. "The best fast-food idea in years channels Vietnam, Singapore and Thailand," writes Tom.
my personal fave: noodles, pork & chicken meatballs, long beans, crushed peanuts + tamarind vinaigrette. careful tho, those beans are hott!!
LizaSeptember 2, 2012Winning combo: chicken satay + rice noodles + green curry + corn + garlic + toasted rice. Run to a gelato place after to cool the heat in your mouth!
The Red Curry is amazing. The dishes aren't authentic, but the flavors are!
Humberto MartinezJanuary 17, 2012This Asian Chipotle spin-off has nowhere near true authentic flavors, but is great for the price. Spicy actually means spicy here.
B HuttonOctober 25, 2013Bowl without base (lettuce, rice) is filling enough. Save those cals for later (aka get cupcakes down the road!)
Barton LiangNovember 29, 2013The spicy options are actually spicy! Try adding fried chilis for some extra heat.
I love the banh mi in any flavor. Be sure to get the spicy mayo and add some siracha for an extra kick.
Jonathan SchearDecember 24, 2014Try your bowl before you add sriracha -- those little flames on the menu actually mean something.
Stingy portion sizes on the protein! Cut the meatballs in half to make them last longer!
The pork and chicken meatballs are the best, and the spicy curry is a slow burn, but so good.
EmilyJanuary 20, 2013Even the least spiciest toppings have a sharp kick, so make sure you can handle it!
Audrey AOctober 5, 2012It's the Chipotle of Asian cuisine! Most of the offerings are spicy. Fast and friendly service.
Noodle bowl with tofu, charred corn, red curry, papaya slaw, cilantro, & ground peanuts. BOOM.
Angelica HuescaJune 3, 2012Almost everything here is spicy! But, there is one perfect dish for vegans! Ask for it!
Alejandro ContrerasOctober 15, 2012Very efficient employees, was in & out in no time. Definitely worth trying their spicy dressing; be ready for it #thebomb
Randy ShoreSeptember 18, 2011Steak Banh Mi is out of this world! Super filling and stays together while eating. Delicious
Penn AppetitJune 11, 2012Asian version of Chipotle. Beware: spicy option is VERY spicy, even for proud lovers of spicy food.
Candice BarnesFebruary 5, 2012I love spicy. But the spicy is too spicy! Try tofu and chicken with brown rice.
The odds of them being out of any of the veggies seems to be about 50/50. Whoever oversees that should really get their act together.
Justin SSeptember 16, 2011Chicken satay, brown rice, charred corn, vinaigrette, carrots, & toasted garlic. Delicious.
Carol ODecember 9, 2011Food could be hotter, temperature-wise. I'm always a little "iffy" about room-temperature meat. Very good, otherwise.
ScottNovember 15, 2015The Dupont Shophouse seems to have smaller portions than Georgetown or Bethesda.
Good food, but depending on the server, my lunch is much bigger or much smaller. They need to figure out portion size on vegetables...
RIP banh mi. I gotta give them credit for wanting to better it, but it is definitely missed!
Betsy AlafoginisJuly 27, 2012Yummy and not $$$$. Very spicy in some instances too. Don't worry, line goes fast.
