🇺🇸 What I Ate in Washington DC

My time in DC was short, but I still managed to check out 4 restaurants! Here are my overall impressions — for detailed food reviews, check the pics 📸✨. Below are more general thoughts on the vibe and experience 🍽️: 1️⃣ Ornnit 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Loved the creativity and flavors here! I ordered three dishes based on recommendations, and none disappointed 😍. Their menu has so many interesting options — I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in DC! 2️⃣ BAAN SIAM 🌟🌟🌟🌟 This was the #1 ranked restaurant near our hotel in DC Downtown. The space is big and beautifully designed, with both a bar and dining area. The fried rice I ordered was just okay, but the Tom Yum noodle soup had an authentic Thai kick! 🍜🌶️ 3️⃣ Yechon 🌟🌟🌟 A Korean restaurant that’s pretty popular. Maybe my expectations were too high, but the food didn’t blow me away — it was decent but not memorable. Would be a good spot for something warm on a cold day! They also serve Korean BBQ. 🥢🍖 4️⃣ Wasai 🌟 In DC’s Chinatown. I was craving something soupy for breakfast, but most places open at 10 AM were serving burgers 🍔… didn’t want anything too heavy so we chose this one. Turns out it’s pretty much all pre-made food 😅. You order on a machine, and literally before I even sat down, my beef noodle soup was already served — impressive speed, I guess? 😂 The soup dumplings (xiaolongbao) were steamed fresh and actually pretty good, but way overpriced. Left feeling like I overpaid for what it was 💸🙃. People say DC is a food desert, but there are actually plenty of spots I still want to try! This trip was just too packed. Next time, I’ll explore more of what this city has to offer 🏛️🍴. #LifeInNorthAmerica #WashingtonDC #DCFood #TorontoLife #DMVEats #DCTravel #DMVFoodFun #AmericanCuisine #Arlington #DMVFoodDiscovery
