Carlos Robles: Get the kimchi slaw on the bulgogi steak and romaine on the chicken.
Loren Worsley: The chicken slaw bowl w/ kimchi, romaine, and all the fixins. A little on the salty side, but satisfying nonetheless.
Diana Brody: Tasty grain, greens, and protein bowls. The pork with the kale slaw was absolutely delicious. Also nicely on the smaller side.

Dee Gee Bee: Chicken and Pork Tacos are my favorite. Get the recommended slaw toppings
Vee Vik: Everything! 3 tacos for $9. Steak, chicken, and tofu. Tried all 3 slaws. All delicious. None really spicy and I'm picky.
Catherine: They tend to close earlier than the stated closing time (grrrr) so call or be prepared to head to sweetgreen next door.

Washingtonian Magazine: We recommend: Cheese and black-bean pupusas; yuca, fried and topped with pork and a vinegary slaw; carne desilada, a platter of shredded beef, avocado, rice, and beans.
Horus Alvarez: Try the desayuno tipico with pupusas on the side! Great pricing too. And the sops de Res is to die for.
Vincent Macaluso: Nachos so good you'll slap your mamacita.

Sandwich Spot · Logan Circle - Shaw · 102 tips and reviews
Serious Eats: One of the standouts is the Kingston ($10): jerk chicken, pineapple salsa, spicy slaw, and garlic mayo between a crisp and bready baguette.
Jess U.: Beirut sandwich is delicious--fresh steak, delicious veggies, and perfect seasoning. Arugula salad with chicken was also a hit with us.
Washington Post: Too many options? Get The Beirut: Steak, hummus, brined veggies, tomatoes and fresh herbs combine for a tangy, earthy flavor you won’t find anywhere else in the city. Read more.

Raz: Try the Crab Cakes W Onion Rings & Coleslaw
Nicolas St-Amour: The crab cakes were good but really expensive. The Caesar salad had real dressing and the coleslaw was pretty great. For $29 plus tax, I'm not sure they were worth it.
Helen Lin: Get the meaty Rockland oysters, Mac and cheesy, Collard greens. All very good.

Ramen Restaurant · Chinatown · 37 tips and reviews
Behrad Eats: Don't like ramen? There might be something wrong with you, but they got you covered w/ the massive Fried Chicken Dinner including mac & cheese, corn on the cob, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, & biscuits!
Behrad Eats: We loved the Shoyu Tori Paitan Ramen but whichever Ramen you choose, make sure to add on the roasted chicken quarter!
michael keller: The spicy miso was really good. I went with the spice bomb for more heat. I got a little sweat going, but it didn’t leave my mouth burning.
