This is the POW POW location I prefer. I remember getting the trolley fries from here long ago during Covid times and being blown away. Then I went to the other location (Franklin Square) and was underwhelmed by the lack of flavor, laziness and just dousing of Gochujang on it. Anyway back to this review. I got:-The *New* Dumplings Kare Kare which were steamed dumplings in a peanut coconut stew. It was very flavorful, creamy, and delightful. Just loved it.-The *New* chef special Hoisin steak carbonara which was pretty awesome. I am surprised with the texture of the steak made from mushroom root- it was very nice and meaty although I don't know what real meat to compare it to because it was unique on its own. It was mushroom meat! The carbonara pasta could have used some salt but I enjoyed it. It had a nice creamy flavor.-The Chimi Chimi pow pow: the egg roll stuffed with banana and dairy free Nutella with an agave honey dip. How good can an eggroll be? No big deal right? Omg this dessert blew me away. All in all the food here was just fantastic. I will come back to this location for sure!

We ordered online and our order was ready to pickup within 5-10 minutes. We ordered the firecracker bowl, firecracker cauliflower, kbbq bowl, and natalie porkman bowl.The vegan meats all have great texture. Everything was extremely flavorful and had great textural contrast.Our favorites were the firecracker cauliflower and firecracker chicken bowl. We got half signature rice half salad for our bowls. The rice is coconuty with quinoa, rice and forbidden rice.

Plant-based takes on my favorite childhood AND drunk college favorites? Sign. Me. Up. Pow Pow is my life embodied in a single restaurant, with all of the indulgent, delicious Asian guilty pleasures that were forced out of my diet when I became a pescatarian. Whether it's orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, and a good ol' teriyaki stir fry, Pow Pow has you covered with its delicious array of vegan bowls. They're also super accommodating of other dietary restrictions, with a separate GF menu (or you can make any of their other bowls GF with a few substitutions). It's genuinely impossible to go wrong with a single item on their menu, but a few favorites are:- Tokyo Roboto: perfectly balanced teriyaki sauce with a touch of bright acidity from the grilled pineapple...absolutely chef's kiss.- K-Town BBQ: maybe I'm just a sucker for pineapple because the pineapple kimchi really binds this whole dish together...the sesame drizzle on top of the Korean BBQ-flavored "chicken" also kicks this bowl up a notch- Sticky Sesame: if I'm feeling something a bit more indulgent, this is the perfect go-to -- the "chicken" is fried to perfection, and the sauce is perfectly sticky and sesame-y- Trolley Fries: my favorite when I'm feeling ~especially~ indulgent. The flurry of sauces / toppings (kimchi, Korean ketchup, togarashi mayo, cashew cheddar) gives these perfectly crispy fries all the flavor in the world. The slivered scallions add just a touch of green to help you pretend you're being healthy, and you can also top this bundle of wonders with a protein of choice- Thai Pumpkin Soup: I'm 99% sure this is just a seasonal item for the fall / winter, but it is fantastic, and I'm going to need this on the full-time menu ASAP. It has a rich pumpkin flavor made luxurious by the coconut milk and delightfully comforting with a touch of heat by all the spicesBeyond the absolutely PHENOMENAL food, everything about Pow Pow sparks joy -- from the utilitarian, but upbeat atmosphere with A+ music selection, to the quick and friendly service, every element of Pow Pow's dining experience was well thought-out and expertly executed. You can order at one of two kiosks (great if you're feeling antisocial and / or just want to spend some extra time staring at the menu), and then take your pick of a table or barstool if you'd like to watch passerby while waiting for your name to be called. All in all, Pow Pow has solidified its spot as one of my go-to D.C. spots -- while the H Street location will always have a special place in my heart as our OG, I'm so excited that we also have the Franklin Park location!

Pow Pow is a super cute Vegan restaurant that we stumbled across while at the Marriott Marquis. Although maps says its a bit away, it was a perfect quick walk around town to get there. Once you arrive, everything is automated, which makes it easy to order - if you know what you want. We were definitely a bit confused because the whole menu isn't available for lunch - but we didn't know. The other oddity is that you have to get any beverages at the counter, so we had to wait / pay twice. But, the food is excellent - I ended up with the firecracker bowl and it was not super spicy yet still full of flavor. I would have loved a bit more veggies to mix in, but overall it was a nice filling meal that didn't feel overly heavy.

This place has certainly gone down hill in recent years. The restaurant itself was empty but it still took a solid 30 minutes to get our food. They also advertise noodles and other things that they don't actually make. We got one of the egg rolls and it was so full of oil that it was dripping out everywhere. fried "chicken" bowl was rubbery but the cauliflower was pretty good.

I was skeptical about this place as I've had bad experiences with the vegan options here in DC. But listen if first impressions was a "spin the block" then POW POW is your place. Savy ordering setup quick turnaround although I wasn't there during a busy time so don't hold me to that point. The texture was very deceiving you couldn't tell what you were devouring wasn't really meat. The food was very flavorful. I do intend on a follow up as I'm interested in going through the full menu.

I recently got weeknight takeout with a few friends from Pow Pow and the food was fine but pricey for vegan food and the taste did not match the cost. Our delivery came on time. I got the Ginger Wonton Soup and the Yoga Dragon. The soup was delicious and spicy, although it could have used more wontons. The Yoga Dragon was completely unremarkable.I would recommend other places for vegan and Asian cuisine.

WOW! Pow Pow is absolutely amazing. My sister and I still talk about how we wish this establishment was in more cities because the food was delicious. Sharkey was very patient, attentive, and kind. He took the time to explain to us the different items on the menu since it is hard to choose between them all! The food was so fresh and plentiful. This place will definitely have you telling your family, friends, and neighbors to come check this place out!
