68 Cafe

Seems like they got a new menu, and the quality of foods has gotten improved A LOT!!!!My friend and I stopped by again for lunch and ordered Shaking Beef and Salt & Pepper Shrimp. Lord they are tasty!!!!!For the Shaking Beef, they marinated the beef well, and it seen they deep fried the meat with some potatoes, bell peppers and onion first, and then, I guess they put everything in a wok to finish up with some seasoning. By the end they put everything on top of some salad/vegetables with refreshing/vinaigrette dressing! The combination is so good and I think I had orgasm in my mouth after the first bite. YOU MUST TRY!!!The Salt & Pepper Shrimp is also very good. It has a good salty-ness with the good aroma from the white pepper. You can also taste the freshness of the shrimp. If I'm not working after, I'd order a beer to go with both dishes!!!I will definitely go back again to try some Clay Pot dishes. Highly recommend!!!Oh!!! Forgot to mention, also just learnt that they have breakfast menu too (The Menu, attached), and seems like some interesting and delicious choices. Will also stop by next time to give it a try!

I would like to say this was an awesome experience. My husband and I were doing a little shoe shopping downtown and he was like hey... I want some Chinese food. So I looked on Yelp and I said how about some Vietnamese fusion? He said yes I'm in. So we walked around the corner and there it was. When we walked in there was only one other table in there so I was a little worried. But the reviews were great so I was like yeah let me sit down. We were greeted by Jack, who was amazing by the way. Then we got right down to business. I ordered some summer spring rolls, a combination beef Pho, and my favorite oldie but a goodie shrimp fried rice. The spring rolls came out first and that was a delicious start. Filled with flavorful noodles, big juicy shrimp, sweet lettuce with peanut sauce on the side. They were very tasty . My husband got his Pho next and it smelled delicious. Not only did it smell delicious. It tasted delicious. Nice broth with a great flavor with lots of noodles. It had some of that tasty little oil on the top. Yummy. I love Pho and I know a good one when I taste it, and this was one. My shrimp fried rice came out in a huge bowl with all the goodies. One unexpected thing was on the side of my shrimp Fried rice was what I thought was like jicama or something and it turned out to be Asian pear. Oh my gosh! It was so delicious. I never seen anybody add some Asian pear to the shrimp fried rice. That was some of the best shrimp fried rice I've ever had. If I order some shrimp fried rice somewhere else...it better have that Asian pair on the side. This place has really good food. Even though it's located in the downtown business area it's open on weekends and you can call up for delivery. So check them out!

If you are looking for delicious, filling bowls of pho in the District, 68 Cafe is just for you!Came here initially because I was craving pho and was near Foggy Bottom. I was so pleasantly surprised with the large restaurant, clean ambiance, and kind/attentive staff.My go-to order is the Ribeye Pho - flavorful, plenty of toppings, and a savory broth that leaves me wanting more. Highly recommend trying with their Vietnamese Iced Coffee or Thai Tea.My servers have always been very accommodating and thoughtful, creating a great experience for customers.Love coming here for a hearty lunch at an affordable price! 68 Cafe is my new favorite place!

Take order of Singapore noodles with shrimp. Food was ready in less than 10 min. Server was nice and even brought me a cup of water to go. Really good!The dish was a bit spicy so I really needed that water. Next time I may ask can I get the dish mild. I'm a light weight when it comes to hot food.

I was excited to try this new pho restaurant, but unfortunately, the Pho itself was mediocre. The broth did not taste fresh or authentic, and felt like it was made using packaged soup base.I do appreciate that the veggies were super fresh though. Service was fine, but didn't expect much from a fast casual restaurant! The restaurant itself was clean!

You order with the cashier and then they bring the food to you. Was pretty excited for some pho but the pho was okay. The soup base had a bit too much sugar and not enough umami flavor. The toppings were fresh though and the meat was pretty good.Service was decently fast but we had asked for some water and we were halfway through our pho before it was brought.

About a 1-1.5: 68 Cafe seems to be a newer Asian eatery that had opened up in the Golden Triangle 'hood, offering pho, banh mi, teriyaki, wings, and rice plates.With such high reviews, I was excited to check them out for a quick lunch - placing an order online was super easy; I just wished they would notify you when your order is ready for pickup - I had gone in a few minutes earlier than the quoted time, and my order was just sitting there...I ordered the chicken teriyaki - this came with (a ton of) white rice and a side of steamed veggies; you could opt for the fried rice for an upcharge.Unfortunately, the food was just not that great - the white rice was undercooked; the chicken had this sickly sweet teriyaki sauce that tasted very sugary; I'm glad they didn't honor the request for extra sauce, as what I received seemed to barely coat the chicken and wasn't a fan of. The meat also had an off-putting odor to them - it seemed as if they do not clean/scrape or separate the grill when cooking a new order, so there were remnants of other prepared food in the order. The steamed veggies were kind of not fresh, and adding soy sauce or sriracha didn't help.The place itself was bigger than I thought, with ample seating.Paid metered street parking and garage parking are available.I was glad to check this place out, but wouldn't return.+sugary sickly teriyaki sauce +customizations are not honored +online ordering available +no updates when order is ready +metered street parking and garage parking available

This casual place was perfect for hungry teens after lots of walking at museums and the national mall.We got a generous portion of fried rice and lots of juicy shrimp. The pho broth was as another reviewer really good. All bowls of pho was devoured including the broth.

This place has very authentic Taiwanese food. We ordered popcorn chicken and braised pork rice. It was over my expectations. Their Vietnamese pho is also very yummy.

The pho here is very good and perfect for the cold winter days. The banh mi isn't exactly traditional, but still delicious. I was sad to see they revamped their menu and took off a few of my favorite dishes such as shaky/shaking beef and clay pot.
