I arrived to the restaurant at 3:30 p.m. on a Monday and discovered and I was the first in getting there. The line didn’t really start intensifying until an hour later.
During the two-hour wait I made a friend in line while we each waited for a friend. We ended up eating together in a table of 4, w
I've been to Bad Saint several times now and it never disappoints. The menu is updated frequently with seasonal options. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer questions about the menu and give recommendations. The owner is incredibly kind and passionate about food. Plus the cozy se
The rice and asian pear salad was a light and refreshing start to a delicious meal. The veggie mix that came with rice was delicious.
The duck with crispy skin was the highlight of the meal and definitely stood above all the other dishes.
The squid puffs were very light and delicious, but the sauc
We got lucky with day-of reservations for dinner and really enjoyed ourselves! The restaurant space is very small - 40 seats tops - most of which are facing the window or wall. It's beautifully decorated and comfortable but certainly not for a large group. Onto the food:
Wow! It's very cool to see
Tip: Make friends (or friendly conversations) with the other people waiting in line for 1-1.5hrs. Intimate restaurant. Fun lighting. Unique flavor combinations. Very attentive staff who check in and fill water without you needing to ask. Owner is very hands-on and buttons up details. Accommodating t
We had to make a reservation a month in advance to get in the door. Service was impeccable, our server was efficient, pleasant and knew the menu well. The restaurant was pleasant, if a little compact. The food was excellent! The slow cooked pork was tender, luscious, richly smoky and benefited from
Wednesday Morning 11:00am. In order to secure a spot at Bad Saint, you will need to be on their website reservation page at that time. If not, better luck next week. Hopefully you are lucky enough to lock down a table, because it is a very unique and pleasant dining experience. A cozy and unique se
The food here is great! This restaurant is very small and the chances of you getting in without reservations is slim to none. The staff is cool and all very knowledgeable about the food and ingredients. The menu is very small but it changes pretty often. The ambience here is cool I really like how t
Cant really judge Filipino food because I've never had it. All the dishes were tasty and well crafted. A very small space for arestaurant. cocktails were just good, not great. It is a 5 star restaurant but I think the hype left me hoping for a bit more. Def worth a try though! Service was also gr
I can't say enough great things about this place. Yes you have to show up early to get a table and yes it's a small joint with limited seating, but it is all worth it.
I had the pleasure of visiting here while Tom Cunanan was in the kitchen and he didn't disappoint. We ordered 3 dishes (plenty of f
"Filipino food, Flavors that is worth the wait."
I never really knew what the hype was all about, I had read about the place online, seen pictures of the food, but I had never had the chance to try it. Until now. We wanted to celebrate my fiance's birthday weekend here. Planned out to come to the
My favorite restaurant in DC. If you have the opportunity to eat here, take it. Very few seats so be prepared to wait. I recommend getting a drink at Wonderland or El Chucho while you wait for your table. The menu is always changing but believe me when I say it is some of the most unique and delicio
To experience Bad Saint's Pagdiriwang celebration is truly a delight and heart warming experience, a prefixed menu curated for a delicious Filipino culinary adventure to kick off the new year and end the holiday season with a bang. We were fortunate to get a reservation for this extended event. Norm
Yes. Amazing. Go. Arrive 1-1.5 hours early to put your name down for one of their 3 seating time options. The staff is great and are very hospitable. They make sure you have a great experience beginning to end. Note that their menu changes often, so there could be something you've hear of that may b
The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. I grabbed a seat at the bar and basically let the servers make my decisions for me. I had the pork belly with some type of blood sauce - was delish. I also ordered a couple of cocktails that were a perfect pair to the dish. This place definitely lives up
We continue to be VERY impressed with these young Filipina\Filipino resto-preneurs! Cannot wait for their "Phase 2"... hopeful hopeful...
Salamat e grazie mille ;-)
From our most recent visit: our top fave was the pancit "Nero" (pancit sontanghon). Close second was the sisig, veggie version (shr
Arguably the best elevated Filipino food being made today . Tom Cunanan needs to be recognized for this! Everyone is warm and wonderful and you will have a great experience!
As always very well crafted menu and rich flavors. Quaint little place with great vibe...something about the comfort in that place. Even something as simple as radish was so good and well plated.
