I have wanted a South East Asian fix for a while now and this place definitely hit the mark. I went with the Blazing Belly Bowl as I have been craving crispy pork belly for a long time and I’m so glad I did. Delicious. The bowl was put together in front of me with fresh ingredients. The balance of flavours were bold and balanced as it should be. The portion size was pretty big, and considering the many components it comes with I think it was well worth the price.
There was plenty of choices to customise for your individual taste if you wanted to. But for someone like me who gets overwhelmed with choices (mainly because I wanted it all) the chefs specials are a great option.
The only thing I will say is that the venue has limited seating, so I can imagine at peak hour you would struggle to get a spot to sit and enjoy. Luckily I went at a quiet time of day and got a table.
Also shout out to the friendly staff!
You guys need to open up more stores so I don’t have to travel so far to get my fix.
The prices definitely will tell you that you’re in Arlington if finding parking hasn’t already. There’s equally good Roll Play on the second floor of the same building. The staff was friendly and helpful. There aren’t many places to sit on the first floor, but a cute little corner. However, the whole second floor has plenty of seats and nice views.
I love the food, the interior design, and the views. I don’t love the location and parking. Yet, I’d drive to Arlington for another bowl of AN any day.
And now for the food… All I can say is, WOW! High quality and healthy food (no seed oils, no gluten, etc.) in a fast casual setting Is not easy to find these days – at least in the Washington DC metro area. And this place is super affordable – not to mention the fact that the Bogo deal is a steal! I’ll definitely be back!
The bowl I got was flavorful and felt good to eat. I didn’t feel so heavy after the meal but instead full and satisfied. The broth included was clean, but spiced well. It isn’t too much and compliments the bowl entirely.
Coincidentally I got the oxtail broth and French fries upstairs. ALSO AMAZING. The broth was thoroughly enjoyed by my husband and we’re thrilled to have so much and the fries are great. The cilantro jalapeño aioli is such a good sauce that leans very herbal-ly but it’s SO GOOD!! As someone who loves citrus and sour the calamansi limonade was miiiiint. The hibiscus drink was a little sweet. I wish it was closer to me to come more regularly but I’m definitely going to make the trip again!
I first visited this place when it had just opened and had a great chat with the owner. She mentioned they’d eventually be available on Uber Eats, and I’ve been patiently waiting ever since — especially since I live far away. Now that I can finally order, I’m beyond thrilled. This place has officially become my #1 carryout choice, and honestly, it deserves all the praise
As someone who loves food, is super picky, and knows how to cook well, I don’t say this lightly: these are the best elevated, healthy, flavorful bowls I’ve ever had. The care they put into each ingredient is obvious.
Let’s talk protein — My personal favorites are the pork belly, brisket, and meatball — all incredibly well-prepared. The pork belly is incredibly tender and rich without being greasy (possibly sous vide?). The brisket is deeply savory and perfectly cooked. And the meatball? (probably one of the best meatballs I’ve ever had).
Then greens and veggies — They’re layered beautifully, with a mix of textures and flavors: fresh greens, roasted carrots / potatoes, creamy eggplant, pickled elements, crunchy snap peas, and crispy fried onions or shallots. Every bite gives you contrast, balance, and satisfaction.
The flavor combinations are thoughtful and bold, and the textures are spot-on — nothing soggy, nothing bland. It truly feels like every component was designed to create the most satisfying bowl possible. Every bite makes me feel like I’m in food heaven, and every time I finish one, I already want to order again
If you’re looking for something nourishing, exciting, and delicious — this place is it!!!
Undeniably the best elevated bowl experience I’ve had anywhere
