Terence C.Terence Chan: Tasty! Def get the lemongrass pork sausage. The pork skewers were a little ok salty. Got some pork belly plate that was too salty too. It's like Thai with a flair. Mango salad was good. 3.5/5

Saarim Z.Saarim Zaman: some of the best food I've had in DC. Try the skewers, fried rice, and the sausage if you're trying to play it safe.

Noah W.Noah Weiss: Fantastic Laotian food. Naem Khao is a super tasty coconut rice salad with sour pork; Piing pork skewers with spicy chili sauce delicious too.

Kat L.Kat L: Get chawanmushi, pork Brussels sprouts, pork miso rice ball. Edamame good for happy hour. Chicken thigh and beef tenderloin skewers were well cooked but disappointingly bland.

CharleneCharlene: Try the pork and Brussels sprouts skewers, okonomiyaki style, and the cod roe spaghetti!

RyanRyan: If you've been to a number of José Andres restaurants, this one stands out for being the most different. Peruvian street food skewers were most worth my $.

Stephanie H.Stephanie Hellerman: Ceviche, crunchy tuna roll, chicken skewers (perfect for your pickier eaters), beef stew, noodle and tomato dish. Fun, loud, true fusion atmosphere!

WinterWinter: Halibut was good but extremely spicy. The lemongrass beef is a decent main portion size and solid, traditional and I would order again. Pork collar skewer was excellent

Katherine K.Katherine Kennedy Allen: Absolutely get the spicy cashews while you pick out the rest of your meal. My two favs: the sable fish and crab fried rice. Perfection!

Washington PostWashington Post: Part Thai, part Vietnamese, Doi Moi is pleasure. Mark Kuller (Proof, Estadio) and chef Haidar Karoum returned from Southeast Asia to create flavors that some foodists compare to Little Serow.

Izzie M.Izzie ML: Everything is good here! Have the namesake drink at the bar while you wait for your table, you won't regret it!

Behrad EatsBehrad Eats: The Khachapuri is their most popular dish for good reason! This delicious dish consists of cheese-filled bread, and organic egg, and local butter. I bet you can't order just one!

Ben R.Ben R: Food here is legit! Ddukkbukki, buddae jiggae, spicy chicken, and k-pork fried rice (with an egg!) were all excellent
