Attended the henny and waffles brunch and the food was TERRIBLE!!!!! It was bland and cold. $30 per person only includes food (juice, sodas, etc are not included in the price)....the music was the best part as well as the fact that they had the games on the big screen.... so in short, don't waste your money here
Do not waste your time or money. The food is fair. The atmosphere is drab, dark and dungeon like. The restrooms, I wouldnt even go in. The service was good, but after we found out that the tip was 18-20% of the check...we were shocked. Maybe this is the norm for the locals but for us it was too much. We will never go back.
Not a place I recommend. I ordered lunch for pickup on Seamless, which they had just started participating in. The guy at the front didn't even know they took Seamless orders. So when I got there, not only was my order not ready, it wasn't even started. Waited 15-20 minutes past when my food was supposed to be ready.
Now, the food - the sauce served with the spring rolls smelled like antiseptic. The ramen was less than "meh".
The location is run down, and the floor is sticky from it being a club at night.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ IN DETAIL I SUMMED IT UP AT THE END: My friend had been booked for a 20 minute time slot to perform at 6:30. He had his lineup ready and they told him he'd get paid plus whatever tips were for him after the show. The email told him to bring a CD with the beats on it which he did. Artist check in was at 5:30 and he didn't get in until 6:15 and they started letting non artists in at 6:30. He brought his whole family since it was his first performance, but they didn't start letting people start until almost 8 and he got his set cut in half even though another group got 30 minutes. The CD he brought couldn't be played because they don't have a CD player. made over $100 in tips from crowd members and everybody in the crowd seemed to enjoy him and even congratulated him outside, but he never got any of the money they promised or tips. When asked about his pay they just dismissed him and called security. In short, they kept everybody waiting 2 hours for a show to start, don't pay their performers (not even the tips they get), charge $5 for a bottle of water, and automatically calls security for reasonable complaints instead of dealing with customers
Would have been a 4 for the weekend night-life, but Team Familiar does not play there anymore. The drinks are really over priced, and the type of crowd has gone down.
Pretty tasty mix of Asian foods. I've ordered the pad see ew, various sushi rolls, laksa, and pad thai. Pad see ew was my favorite, the pad thai was ok. Seating can take a little while and the restaurant could use a little spiffing up (lobby sometimes feels not climate controlled), but all in all it was pretty good. Service was friendly; just wish they had stopped by more frequently for refills. Prices are standard DC prices, not super cheap, but not crazy expensive.
If you're in DC touring and want a unique and good meal at a good price, go here. It's louder than the Rosslyn location, but given the options in the area it's one of the better places to check out in this price range.
I love Cafe Asia they have the best Singapore Noodles in DC. As a kid my mom always made home cooked meals now I can venture out to other cuisine and this is pretty. The quality of the food is outstounding.
