good places to grab dinner around echostage?

Going to my first show at Echostage (Tame Impala)…driving in - looking to grab dinner beforehand and I'm not really familiar with whats around Echostage…other than like Granville Moore's on H St.  Any suggestions?

I've never been, but Panda Gourmet is supposed to have some of the most authentic Chinese food in DC.

[red]Depends on what experience you're looking for.  Bardo is like a mile away.  They have beerz and food delivery.  [/red]

Union Market is two miles away, if their 8pm closing time is not a barrier.

DC Brau is 1.2 miles away, if you're going on a Thurs or Fri night. No food, but you can always BYO like a true punk.

If you want more authentic neighborhood eats, there is a KFC within walking distance.

Toki Underground, Boundary Road, Red Rocks Pizza,  Atlas Room, and Queen Vic.

All worth a visit.

Toki Underground,

I just saw this place on a TV show and it looks awesome. The ramen thing was slow to get to Richmond, but goodness it's delicious.

Be aware that Toki takes limited reservations during the week and you should show up at 5pm if you want to eat there on the weekend (to be honest, stay the hell away from there on the weekend). However, the Pug or Little Miss Whiskeys are great bars to kill the time at while you wait.

bout a 1.5 mile walk to Echostage
it's pretty much the first real eatry you will hit in any direction
but I think it's food and beer are top notch

Atlas brewery has food trucks often but they close at 8pm

Eating Ramen over the past four years or so has severely impacted my BMI and sodium levels. Admittedly, I had an addiction to a certain dish at Ren's Ramen.

anyone know if you can bring food into EchoStage?

Was thinking of getting there really early for the Bel&Seb show to secure a 2nd floor balcony spot

Satsuma in Bethesda makes really good ramen

Toki is the best ramen in the city. Daikaya is second. Sakuramen is good too but I think everything pales in comparison.

If you're going to be hitting H St I'd suggest stopping by Maketto. I've only been for lunch but it is delicious. It's right next door to rock and roll hotel.

It's Toki and then nothing even touches it. Daikaya is garbage in my opinion. I prefer Ren's but it's not in the city. I'm looking forward to Momofuku opening up in City Center but I expect that to be a giant scene.

I can't speak for every establishment but the ramen place in RVA definitely has items listed as vegan.

I say Toki is the best and there's no question, but there's enough ramen in the city that it's nor fair to compare to Toki lol. I like Daikaya, but nothing else, in multiple cities, has come near Toki.

thanks, i'll check these places out….its a saturday so probably won't have much luck with reservations, heh.

you mean beef broth I assume…which is the only way to have Pho or Ramen
any other way is blasphemy

Is it still crazy getting into Toki Underground? I had this ramen in Baltimore that everyone loves and it had no flavor at all. Should not have gone to Toki Underground first.

where did you go in baltimore?
