sweet

Ordered the food for delivery. Generous portions. I ordered dishes mainly on lettuce and so happy I did. One dish with their rice and it was so sweet.

Fantastic options!

I was in town for a conference and dinner here was a welcome contrast to the bland catering! The disco egg roll was fine, but my teriyaki chicken was fantastic! Perfect balance of protein and veggies with just the right amount of sauce. I ordered carry out because I wasn’t sure what the dine-in situation was like, but it was a large space with plenty of seating and beverages.

Generous portion

I had the Fried Chick'n Rice with double protein and it was a lot of food. Very tasty. I would have asked them not to put scallions, but no such option was provided. A good place for sharing with decent prices. The design of the place is fun. I found the lighting too white which would otherwise even make the place suitable for dates. Also they only provide single use cutlery.

Pros: Tasty, big portion, Variety and flexibility, Spacious, good vibe, free WiFi

Cons: Not all ingredients removable, Single-use cutlery only

FanDamnTastic

Buddha Bowl was - no kidding - the best and tastiest thing that I have eaten in quite a while. No fake meat or laboratory-created cheese. I must have another before I leave DMV.

Pros: Real food, real tasty.

Cons: I wish these were everywhere.

Good!

i ordered the Sichuan dumplings and Mongolian beef with broccoli with chow mein. the dumplings were so good, they tasted great, the texture was satisfying (i got them fried), and their sauce was so yummy. the mongolian beef was good but it could've used some more flavor and sauce. it was a touch bland but i still enjoyed it.

Pros: Great menu selection

Delicious Bowls!

Asian inspired food, especially Bowls, noodles and fried rice. It was fresh and very good, lots of vegetables and their home made proteins like vegan chicken and beef. Also the marinades and sauces were delicious! Service was fast and friendly!

Pros: Fresh salads and vegetables , Home made meat alternatives , Good service, friendly and attentive!

Fantastic Asian Takeout Shop

I was only in DC for a week so I only got to go here once but I wish I had been able to more. Food was fantastic and really hot the spot. Their giant egg roll was as advertised and very memorable.

Egg roll delight

In DC on a day trip for work and PowWow was the highlight of the trip.

Buffalo chick'n egg rolls was the choice for lunch. Quickly prepared, the friendly staff made it a very pleasant experience. And the taste was outstanding.

Pros: Convenient, Reasonably priced, Friendly staff

Delicious

I got the Hoisin steak fried rice bowl and my mom got the Mongolian Beef and Broccoli. I love the mushroom beef substitute. It is succulent and sweet and savory like I remember hibachi steak being.

Pros: Delicious beef substitute , Friendly staff

Cons: Had to make two transactions for entrees and drink, Food could have been warmer

cold food & bad taste

The sweet potatoes were the only thing that was warm when it arrived (well after ordering). The noodles were cold, the broccoli was cold. The fried chiken was the only that that tasted good—everything else was heavily over salted. Terribly mediocre, extremely disappointing for a fully-vegan restaurant.

Fast, delicious!

Teriyaki chicken (sub noodles), lemon brussels, and the fried mozzarella balls are all awesome!

Great bowl

I visited in the summer and tried the General's Chicken Bowl, which was wonderful. It's one of the only places I've ever eaten and not felt overly full and grossed out over the greasiness. It felt energizing and was overall delicious.

Pros: Great taste

Great quick counter service option

Super filling portions, feels healthy and hearty and tasty. They also have stickers indicating they are LGBTQ friendly and a female owned business if I recall. Would go again

Pros: Inclusive, Healthy, Filling
