I love this place so much! It’s a korean couple running the whole place and you cannot get food this cheap and good anywhere else. The sausages and eggs in the breakfast platter were delicious. Seafood box had such a big portion for the price and the scallops imitation crab and butterfly shrimp were yummy! The scallops in the seafood box were especially meaty and fleshy. The food was also not overly greasy at all and you can see that most things are cooked fresh and on the spot. The door has bars so it looks like they are closed but they arent. Cash only!!

Seafood platter is a crazy deal. $9.85 for 2 fish, scallop, fake crab and shrimp + fries. They cook everything right in front of you and the quality isn’t bad at all, much less for the price. Dont know how they make money
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Brian Endo
Can't believe there hasn't been more reviews on this hole in the wall. I promise you, no where in DC you'll find breakfast food this cheap. I ordered a french toast platter which includes 2 french toasts, a ton of bacon and a huge egg omelet. Also quickly served and only cost $5.50. But it's cash only.

As soon as I saw the menu I knew the food was going to be good! It didn’t disappoint. Here's what I ordered: Sausage, egg, and cheese on wheat toast. All for $3.00. Cash only!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Glen Mosier
Had to check out this spot cause of all the great reviews. I popped in and got a sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant, food came out super quick. Everything was amazing and seriously you can't get breakfast in DC for less than this, it wasn't even $4.50. Protocol was good with covid and everyone was wearing masks, good and safe. For sure will be back
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Justin Navarro
This is the place! It has been here for awhile and is still standing despite the pandemic so you know it’s worth a try! I found this hole in the wall spot and what drew me to this place was their affordable prices and quick pickup. I recommend calling in advance if you prefer to have your order ready by the time you arrive, but no matter how long it takes it is worth the wait! As for affordability, the fried fish sub is only $6 and that's a VERY reasonable price among other small sandwich spots in DC. Especially for the taste! Spot is cash-only, so be aware. Highly recommend!
