๐Ÿ“DC/Arlington Weekend Trip ๐Ÿš—โœจ

Took a short trip while renewing my passport in DC โ€“ here are some food spots I picked after checking Google and Xiaohongshu! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฑ Umai Nori: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸโœจ Not mind-blowing, but great value! ๐Ÿ’ต We ordered the sashimi and sushi lunch sets โ€“ around $30 per set, which included salad ๐Ÿฅ— (not pictured), soup, sashimi/sushi, a big basket of tempura ๐Ÿค, and a roll. Enough for two meals! The fish was fresh, and each item was well-made. If I lived nearby, Iโ€™d come often! ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ‘ Guete Leute: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ So good โ€“ I went every day during my trip! โ˜•โค๏ธ Tried the Mango Matcha Latte, Pink Salted Caramel Crรจme Latte, Crunch Corn Cream Latte, and their signature Guete Leute. The first two were the best โ€“ not too sweet! The mango matcha had real fruit pulp ๐Ÿฅญ๐Ÿต, and the salted caramel was smooth. The dine-in-only small drink was a bit disappointing though โ€“ too many sweet toppings overpowered the coffee. ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿšซ Shanghai Lounge: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸโœจ Ordered Maoxuewang (spicy blood and tofu stew), dry-fried green beans, and stir-fried pork kidney โ€“ all flavorful and not too oily! ๐Ÿฅ˜๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Reasonable prices, and the staff were super friendly! ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿ’– Others (no pics): Un je ne sais quoi: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ A French pastry shop I visit every time Iโ€™m in DC! ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Brought back a whole bag to Florida for breakfast โ€“ their รฉclairs, croissants, and tarts are exquisite and delicious! ๐Ÿฐโœจ Bostan Uyghur Cuisine: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Loved the dry-fried noodles โ€“ oily but so fragrant! ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ’ฅ The noodles were chewy, but the stir-fried noodles with meat had a strong ginger taste, and the samsa pastry was too buttery for my taste. ๐Ÿค” Pho75: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Cheap, huge portions, and fresh! ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿ’ซ The broth tasted natural โ€“ no artificial flavors. Another must-visit every DC trip!
