DMV Food｜Finally Got to Try This Braised Pork Belly! 🤤

I’ve been seeing this everywhere online and couldn’t wait to try it! The Braised Pork Belly (把子肉) was seriously fragrant, but I personally loved the Dongpo Pork and the Fried Lotus Root Sandwich even more! 🥢✨ 🏠 Restaurant: Takeshi Sushi 📍 Address: 2424 A Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201 —————— We pre-ordered a combo with both Braised Pork Belly and Dongpo Pork – the meat was incredibly tender and fell apart easily! All of us agreed the Dongpo Pork was even better – slightly sweeter and cut into smaller, easier-to-eat pieces. The Braised Pork Belly was a bit too large and tough to bite into easily 😂 The Fried Lotus Root Sandwich was also delicious – super crispy on the outside, and we finished every last piece! 🌿 The handmade steamed buns were nice, but the filling wasn’t as flavorful as we hoped, and the dough could have been a bit fluffier. The dumplings, on the other hand, were pretty average – tasted like they used store-bought wrappers. One thing worth mentioning – the price is unbelievably reasonable! We ate until we were stuffed, and it was less than $20 per person. Haven’t seen prices like that in ages! 💸👍 Have you been here yet? What’s your favorite budget-friendly spot in the DMV?
