Abby EggersDecember 2, 2016Love the atmosphere. Good happy hour deals. The sushi and fish tacos are amazing! Would be a good date spot. The upstairs area is bigger and nicer, downstairs is a bit more casual and cozy.
Cassie PApril 2, 2014BRUNCH BRUNCH BRUNCH! At first I was skeptical with the endless amount of food and drinks for $35, but I was honestly impressed with how great the quality of food and service I had. HIGHLY recommend!!
Jingyuan XieJuly 24, 2015We went for the unlimited brunch. Definitely try every dish on the menu, especially the grits and Brussels sprouts and the bloody Maria.
Marie RFebruary 27, 2014By far the best bottomless brunch in dc. Servers are great at keeping the drinks flowing. Must haves: Passion fruit mimosa, angry zengo roll, lobster grits, and steak and egg tostadas.
One of the best brunches in DC! Bottomless tapas, small plates and drinks - switching freely between mimosas, bloodies, and sangrias. Check out the Arepas and grits!
MatthiasOctober 26, 2013M.G. (Sounds like that don't want to butcher the spelling) was our server she was awesome pay her with diamonds. I feel we ate all the animals from the enchanted forest. Mora the story it's good.
Sylvie H.June 30, 2013$35 will cover you for all you can drink (multiple flavored brunch drinks) and all you can eat (a la carte any small plate). Come early to get lots of food and drink as the food comes out slow.
Lorelei YangJuly 8, 2014The sake sangria that's offered as a bottomless brunch drink is great; it's a little strong if you're planning on drinking multiple drinks, but is absolutely fantastic as a beverage.
Kimberly A.June 26, 2013HAPPY HOUR IS A STEAL! $5 margaritas, caipirinhas, & planter's punch! Beer & wine included too! Not as crowded as other spots in the area - the food is great too!
Behrad EatsAugust 2, 2012If you're lucky enough to be there when they have the special, definitely get the Roasted pork loin and shrimp lo mein. Amazing!
Trevor MApril 3, 2015Great happy hour till 8pm with $5 and $6 drinks. The small plates are great too! I like the chicken on steamed buns.
Sandra RubinchikOctober 17, 2015$40 bottomless brunch, with free-flowing drinks and small plates. Including these bad boys: bacon egg steamed buns.
SavoredMay 18, 2011The Tuna Tataki Salad is a mouth-watering starter. If you find yourself with a large group, be sure to order lots of plates to share! Save 30% off your bill by booking here:
AmeLia CruzOctober 18, 2014I've never wanted to cry during a meal, until now! The Tagalog-Style Churrasco Steak was DELICIOUS!!!
Himali NedimalaOctober 9, 2013If you like calamari, try the crunchy calamari salad. The calamari is fried but not too salty. The dressing is sweet with a spicy kick. Excellent for lunch.
Tim McClureDecember 28, 2015Bottomless brunch for $40 on weekends comes with unlimited drinks (mimosas, BMs, sangria) and unlimited small plates 😮
Joe GizziNovember 24, 2014Amazing bottomless brunch. Go guava for drinks and then try everything on the menu. Unlimited plates!
Ronnie BowenMay 12, 2014We loved the pisco sours, the ceviches, the black cod, the salmon and the kimchee - sorbet was great too
Melissa VApril 8, 2012They have a great happy hour. My favorite appetizer was the calamari, the dressing was so good! And my favorite drink was the mojito pina.
Le Andre WardJuly 18, 2011A cool, welcoming environment with ambiance and jazz-like flair. Zenga provides a culinary fusion of Latin-American, Japanese, and Italian cuisine. I recommend the fried rice.
ShannonRenee Mouton GrayDecember 12, 2011Great happy hour spot! The edamame is delicious. You would think steaming or grilling soybeans is easy...NOT. Zengo does it right and well.
Tim ReynoldsJuly 13, 2010An amazingly creative place. Nothing is bad here, everything an epiphany. The soft shell crabs alone are worth the visit. For 2 people, order 5 or 6 small plates. Relax and enjoy the journey.
Patrick McDermottJuly 3, 2012The mojitos are actually quite good, and the Pork Arepas off of the Happy Hour menu are good too. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Rachel StewartJuly 4, 2015Mojitos are amazing...and the braised short ribs were to DIE for. Awesome meal
Liz BlakeleyAugust 7, 2014Best service I've ever had at bottomless brunch. They keep the good and drink coming!
Levi BrandrissDecember 19, 2014XO Edamame and the short ribs and any cocktail but specifically the traditional mojito
Kat LMay 10, 2013Tuna tacos and coconut ceviche were yummy. Everything else was fine but nothing special - short rib, lobster roll, fluke ceviche, lettuce roll, crab guacamole.
Thompson HotelsJune 14, 2011Donovan House concierge Clay likes the mix of Japanese and Latin influences- he says crunchy calamari salad contains a wonderful fusion of flavors.
Alexis MochSeptember 19, 2011Amazing for special events. Complimentary glasses of champagne and special dessert for our anniversary! All you have to do is ask when you make your reservation.
Kasia KFebruary 1, 2016Happy Hour Mon-Fri 3 to 8PM: $6 cocktails, $5 small plates. On Monday mojitos are $6 all night.
Bill KennedyOctober 13, 2012Try the thai chicken empanadas with chile poblano / oaxaca cheese / mango salsa - Happy Hour portion
Debra D'AlessandroNovember 1, 2011Appreciated the gluten-free menu. Peking duck tacos and angry roll were outstanding. And They make a mighty fine mojito
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 12, 2016Bitches Who Brunch's Best Bites 2016 winner for Best Arepas Read more
Melissa ChaiDecember 28, 2015Good brunch deal but disappointed with dinner. Falls short of the Zengo in Manhattan
Laura ZoborJanuary 3, 2013Order a pisco sour! The Thai chicken empanadas and scallop tradito are delicious!
Sunny ChangJune 9, 2012Make sure you check with your server if your food is on your way. We had to wait for a while to find out that our order was not delivered to the kitchen. The interior and the food is tasty though.
Francesca OkolieNovember 26, 2013Mojito piña and the Moscow mule are both quite delicious! Try them!
Antoinette WinetteJanuary 20, 2013Really nice place to meet friends, great food! Love their cocktails as well
Empanadas were good. Lobster and chorizo tacos were good...rum punch is off the hook...great experience overall
Ashley CFebruary 13, 2011I love the mojito piña, but it will take them an hour to bring you empanadas. I'm at happy hour with a friend who's finished eating while I continue to wait...- Bill KennedyOctober 13, 2012Try the Adobo Chicken Steamed Buns - Happy Hour portion with Cucumber Kimchee
David HeymanFebruary 5, 2011Edamame grilled and delicious. Eclectic menu, lots to try. The lamb chops in hoisin sauce were fantastic.
