Great food and service! I got the Singapore noodle (a favorite of mine) and they made it well and quickly. The waiter and staff were pleasant and the location was nice. Highly recommended for if you want a delicious meal before your train takes off. Plus, the area it’s in (higher level) is quiet and peaceful- it’s nice to get away from all the train hubu – but still just several minutes from the tracks.

One of the coolest DC locations to grab very good curry or Filipino dish while sitting comfortably just beneath the grand, Greco-Roman arched ceiling of busy Union Station and watching commuters passing by below: some walking, some on the run as they catch their trains. Pounce!

Nice owners with very friendly service. Food is usually served quickly, so works well for a lunch break. I enjoy all the dishes I order. Has the best view of the concourse from one of the seats near the railing (see photo). Recommended.

Reached just before closing. James was nice enough to serve us anyway. Highly recommend the spicy basil. Taste was excellent despite the rush.

This is one of the better restaurants in Union Station. Their service is efficient and consistent which is helpful if you want to catch a train. I find the fried rice particularly tasty. You can also tell them how much spice to add in the dishes and they are very accommodating. The basil based dishes are also very good. This restaurant will satisfy your Chinese/Thai cravings.

Good food. Not busy when we went for a Friday lunch. Variety of different Asian cuisine, but all made well. The Laksa Curry and Singapore noodle were delicious! Nice warm outdoorsy ambiance during the cold of winter. Would eat here again!

Nice place to relax in Union Center. Excellent tempura shrimp. Vegetable fried rice had lots of fresh veggies. I’d come here again.
