This place is kind of difficult to find as it is in the 3rd level on Union Station. I dined here at 4:30pm on a Tuesday and the place was empty. I had the curry laksa noodle which I had never tried before. I’m not sure if this is how they serve it normally but it had two different kinds of noodles. The soup was a bit salty to my taste but it was filling and overall quite good. I would definitely go again if I have to wait before a train.

Very disappointing experience at East Street Cafe (Union Station) on March 2, 2026 at 11:38 AM. Table 11.
I ordered Nabeyaki Udon, iced tea, and shrimp tempura with vegetables ($31.06). The soup tasted like plain hot water with no flavor, the iced tea was just water and ice, and the tempura was cold and frozen inside. Completely unacceptable quality for a $31 meal.
Service was just as poor. The server (James K) was on his cellphone and didn’t even notice I was waiting to be seated, despite the sign saying the restaurant was open. I had to approach him myself.
As travelers passing through Union Station, we expect decent food and basic respect. This was mediocrity in both food and service. I will not return.

I was happy with my lunch here. We got a couple of dishes to share and an appetizer, and it was all good. My favorite part was the pickled cabbage with the Manila pork BBQ dish. We also got general Tso chicken and fried lumpia.

This is one of the better restaurants in Union Station. Their service is efficient and consistent which is helpful if you want to catch a train. I find the fried rice particularly tasty. You can also tell them how much spice to add in the dishes and they are very accommodating. The basil based dishes are also very good. This restaurant will satisfy your Chinese/Thai cravings.

So tasty, what a gem!! I ordered the CURRY LAKSA NOODLE Soup, pictured. It can be all plant based – I asked for mushrooms, spinach and broccoli to be added/substituted for the chicken, and with no hesitation they accommodated me! I’m so pleased with this Union Station fast casual option, located on the second level. If you take the stairs opposite the Amtrak ticket counter, you’ll find it with big open air seating. This dish also includes tofu, vegetables, rice sticks & egg noodle combination in a coconut curry broth, with bean sprouts, fresh! green beans, and corn. Amazing, and spicy warm. They have non spicy foods, too. I’ll upload the current menu.

I arrived to Union Station hungry and I am reviewing as I inhale my food so it may be biased. But to say the food is good is an understatement. This might be one of my top 15 meals I ever had. I ordered the Curry Luksa Noodle soup. It was delicious and arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. Had veggies, tofu, chicken and noodle – well rounded meal. Flavorful as well. Excited to stop by here again next time I am at Union Station.

Eat in Union Station. Hot and fast Asian cuisine. We got dumpling soup and the Hong Kong Soup. Great service. Sweet view. Not too pricey.

A really pleasant surprise in Union Station, an alternative to sandwiches, fast food. Very diverse oriental menu. Both my and my spouses dishes were very tasty, served up quickly, and really ample (burp!). Most tables out in the open of the station so ambient noisy is present. We were in transit and this place will be on our list of where to eat.

Great spot in DC, the food is very tasty, well priced and the portions are massive! The food is prepared to order very quickly – you can see the kitchen and the chefs at work. The food was eaten by us within 20mins of ordering making it a perfect meal before the train.

Rude. However, the lady was very pleasant but she is no longer there. Also, I did get extremely sick off of the lo mein once.
Recently, the server walked away from the restaurant as if he didn’t want to be bothered lol while there were customers present. I work in the building and I would eat lunch there frequently.
