Great pan-Asian foods. I only wish it were closer to home, but there are two locations - downtown Washington and Rosslyn.

The sushi is awesome and they make the best mojitos I've ever tasted! Parking can be a problem, but the food is well worth it.

Also lately the local hip hop radio station has been broadcasting from here which is something very new and very nice.

The Café Asia has a wide selection of foods from a variety of Asian cuisines, and I have found the food to be good on several visits. The main drawback is the high level of noise that always seems to pervade the restaurant. My noise tolerance level may be lower than average, and I would rate the restaurant as "Above... More

Got fried rice and chicken lo-mein to go. Very good food, still hot and very flavorful even after the walk back to the hotel. Would highly recommend eating here.

This used to be a local place for us but we've moved away. We go here on every visit to DC. The food is great and a great value. There are often happy hours with drink specials. The prices are very reasonable for what you get in terms of the quantity and quality of food. It's also spotless. Food comes... More

Great Asian restaurant located in the neighborhood of Rosslyn and only a couple blocks from the metro. Can't beat the price for the quality and portion size!

Cafe Asia is a reliably hip place to hang out at a bar and make small talk with neighborhood locals. The food, however, is only passable. Having such a wide range of asian foods on the menu means that the kitchen puts out mediocre versions of some of my favorite dishes, and I seem to have a knack for attracting... More

Easy walking distance from the Key Bridge Marriott and Rosslyn Metro stop. Food was outstanding on this trip and one a few weeks earlier. I have sampled food from a variety of culinary traditions there. Service was subdued. My only complaint is how they bring main courses before appetizers are done and cleared.

Great selection. The Vietnamese grilled pork was an excellent choice for those watching carbs. Value for DC.
