First time eating here and it was delicious, I definitely plan to return!
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 theheat-seekers. Also got a side of Laska which was creamy, savory, and overall delicious, added to the ramen or standalone. Thesmall spicy chicken nuggets were great. $10 seemed like it was a bit much, but the portion is actually generous. Place isactually in The Block Foodhall or whatever it's called which I didn't know.

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 Read more
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 whocan create dishes that have the best umami flavors and dishes that as so amazing. The one I am posting was so delicious Iwanted to dump it on my head! If you are visiting DC this is one of only three places you need to eat. Read more
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, crispyfries, 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 backand try other items. The actual building is really cool. Urban modern, with several different places to eat, like a food hall. Ireally liked that. Read more
Delicious food and excellent service. I've been on two occasions so far and have not been disappointed. Whether it be the garlic... noodles with char siu pork, hakka curry masala noodles with beef, or the rice with bourbon chicken the food has been phenomenal. Read more
