The food here is absolutely delicious and a wonderful surprise - affordable, good portions and very fresh, also! Highly recommend the bowl with the vegetable dumplings and noodles and salad - also, the kimchi was so good! My only regret is that I didn't get to eat here more than once. It's a bit hard to find (ask the building concierge) and the ambience is a bit lacking (feels like a cafeteria) but the food is so good - you will not be disappointed!
Went there for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! We had the dumpling bowl, the protein plate, and a grilled cheese and all were great, but the dumpling bowl was the best. Coffee was good too and service was very fast and friendly. We had the place to ourselves. This place is easy to get to (take elevator to B1 and go right and right) and has nice very clean bathrooms in the building too.
Wonderful mom & pop restaurant inside the Resources & Conservation Center Bldg. at 1400, 16th Street, NW., DC. You've got to take the elevator to Room B110. Don't let the construction deter you the restaurant is worth the minor inconvenience. We ordered their great breakfast. However, it seems their specialty is unique fresh salads & rice bowls.
A great place with kind service and really, really yummy food :) we got their kimchi fried rice and their spicy pork bowl, and it was so delicious!! their portions were big, and we left the cafe feeling full and satisfied. great place to get a quick korean food fix! :)
*quick note: finding their cafe is a little tricky… enter the building and then head to the elevators on the left hand side. take it down to b1 and then turn right and head all the way down to find the cafe on the right hand side. its kind of hidden but definitely worth the stop!
thank you!!
*I’ve already reviewed this place on my own, but am now doing it on behalf of my husband because he really wants to give them a review but doesn’t want to do it himself.*
You get big bang for your buck at this place. They give you nice big bowls with very flavorful food. So far I’ve tried the Kimchi Fried Rice and the Dumpling Bowl and both were delicious. My goal is to try every one of their bowls. Also the owners are very sweet
This was a really great find in the basement of an office building🤣 We wanted to grab a quick breakfast and saw so many good reviews of this mom&pop shop. The dumpling bowl was sooo yummy (esp the beef dumplings) and portions are huge! The sauce that came with it was so good! wish we had gotten the kimchi fried rice too! 100% recommend if u r in the area!
Enter the building and take the lift behind the concierge, turn right and you’ll see the tiny cafe at the end of the hallway. There’s some construction going on this month)
The owners of this shop are so friendly and welcoming! The food is well-priced, filling, and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Don't be alarmed if Google Maps says you have to walk through an office building to get there -- you're in the right place!
Awesome place, hidden away in an office building, run by a sweet Korean couple. They serve delicious food for fair prices. Always a smile on their face. We liked it so much, that after breakfast, we ordered lunch to go and came back the next day for breakfast again!
I totally loved the dumpling bowl !! 😋 But not just that!! The beautiful couple that cook 😌🫶🫶 they are amazing 🤩 customer service was great and I’m still super grateful for the delicious food I got with my daughters ! And the price was good 👍 I’ll definitely go back again. Food is authentic and DELICIOUS 😋
I was visiting DC when I searched on Google for places to eat. Early bird cafe showed up and I was so happy to find a place that has authentic flavors and is also affordable. I ordered the spicy pork bowl and for a spice lover like me, it did not disappoint. The couple that works there are also very friendly.
