Great greasy spoon to get a good, cheap takeout breakfast. Just as good breakfast as you'd get elsewhere but for half the price.

Was looking for a breakfast place close to my hotel and this small local spot pops up. It's take out only but the food was good. I will definitely get food from here next time I'm in DC

Great place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. Wide selection of drinks and speedy service! I got a scrapple breakfast sandwich and my brother got a salmon breakfast sandwich. Both of them were very warm and tasted delicious. The staff seem to have good relationships with their regular customers.

Oh wow! Perfect short order breakfast take-out in the heart of Chinatown. This is my go-to for eggs, pancakes, grits, and other breakfast staples cooked right there in front of you by crazy clean and tidy Korean(?) family. Nothing but amazing goodness to start your day, regardless when you do. Breakfast served all day!

This is a small takeout shop, but it's a very special place. The owner is friendly, and the chef prepares everything fresh upon order with speedy service. They even tell you the best way to enjoy your meal, making it a delightful experience. I highly recommend the bulgogi. After picking up my food, I passed through a security checkpoint, and the security staff commented on how amazing the smell was and asked detailed questions about the restaurant, saying they wanted to go there, too. The food smelled and tasted so good that I didn't get a chance to take pictures. I'll update you with photos on my next visit.

"Dinette" may be a stretch (no where to actually sit) but it's basically a dive to get good fill for breakfast or lunch without any hassle. Plenty of regulars come here for a reason. I was quite happy with my food and would return!

Delicious, quick and a fantastic value. Tucked away on a side street near the Arena, this takeout only family-run joint serves up a delicious egg and cheese. Note that the credit card minimum is $10.
