This place has just not been caring how their to go food comes out. It gets 2 stars cause flavor is above average but man I always have to eat stuff deconstructed. Bahn mi with fork and knife just isn’t it for 20$

This is my favorite restaurant right now. Best wings on the planet, the chicken/pork belly bowl is delicious, and the brussel sprouts with the fish sauce are amazing. Skip the tofu tacos, the tofu was fried to an unrecognizable point (I am not a tofu person in general though). The taco wraps were really good too. We eat lunch here at least once a week!

Only visited once so far but would go back. Ordered online and was ready quickly, 15 min or less around 530-545pm. Food was packed and hot. Got the dan dan ramen level 3 which was both delicious and spicy. Level 4 should satisfy most of the heat-seekers. Also got a side of Laska which was creamy, savory, and overall delicious, added to the ramen or standalone. The small spicy chicken nuggets were great. $10 seemed like it was a bit much, but the portion is actually generous.

I have followed the Pho Wheels food truck around like a lost dog for the past 5 years and have been going here since they opened. You can not beat the flavorful foods they prepare here, their chef owner is a masterful chef, rarest of the rare who can create dishes that have the best umami flavors and dishes that as so amazing. The one I am posting was so delicious I wanted to dump it on my head! If you are visiting DC this is one of only three places you need to eat.

This is a very cool spot. My 3 stars are more based on the food. The chow fun was just okay, the chicken tasted like cheap chewy meat. The chicken nuggets – same thing. Good spices but consistency and taste of cheap meat. Spring roll was nothing special. The pig frites, that was the highlight for sure. Super delicious. I will definitely go back for that. Tasty pork belly, crispy fries, and I don’t know what sauce they put on there but ooommmggg amazing. I think the menu is a hit or miss so I will go back and try other items. The actual building is really cool. Urban modern, with several different places to eat, like a food hall. I really liked that.

Balo Kitchen came highly recommended and I see why. We did the small belly and rice ($9.95) and it was a ton of food! The pork belly was thick and delicious. I highly recommend getting a fried egg on top of the bowl. We also did the egg rolls (3/$4.50) and can honestly say they were the best/lightest I’ve had in years. The service was fast and nice.

Visited this place recently when I was in town from Houston TX. Houston has great food but this place was definitely 5 stars, definitely a cool vibe, the food is amazing and the service was top notch. I really enjoyed the Roti taco, it was packed with flavor.. be warned, it is highly addictive. Highly recommend trying it out if you are in the area.

Great vibe and concept, solid food. Crispy pork belly is a little on the sweet side, and banh mi has regular spring mix/lettuce instead of more traditional veggies, but still a great unique concept with unique flavors. Laksa curry noodle is amazing
