Description: This funky little bistro offers great service (clientele is mostly Georgetown lawyers and lobbyists, who demand good service), good prices, funky decor, and fabulous food. One side of the restaurant is designated a "Dumpling Bar," and dumplings are well highlighted on the menu. You can get wontons, rolls, buns, or dumplings filled with lobster, pork, mushrooms, duck, or many other options.
In addition, there are noodle bowls and rice bowls with favorite recipes like pad thai and more experimental offerings like eggplant with spicy bean-basil sauce.
Importantly, most anyone can find a comfort zone here. Dad can get plain old pork fried rice with a spring roll, or yours truly, the vegetarian, can get squash potstickers followed by wild mushrooms and tofu with ginger sauce.
There's even a mixed green salad. Lunch is slightly cheaper than dinner, but even dinner entrees top out at $15.95.
How good is it? I work a block up the street - I go at least once a month for lunch, and everyone in my office takes visiting clients, and more importantly, visiting family, to Bangkok Joe's.
