East Street Cafe

"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 love East Street Cafe. Their food, especially the curry shrimp fried rice is excellent! They are always busy during lunch time but their service is prompt and friendly. I always look forward to visiting whenever I am back in DC. And I must say that the quality of their food has remained unchanged over many years."

"Can't speak for all the food, but the pork tonkatsu was not very good. The gyoza was burnt. Service was good. You're better off going to the food court below for food."

"One of the coolest DC locations to grab very good curry or Filipino dish while sitting comfortably just beneath the grand, Greco-Roman arched ceiling of busy Union Station and watching commuters passing by below: some walking, some on the run as they catch their trains. Pounce!"

"Great food and service! I got the Singapore noodle (a favorite of mine) and they made it well and quickly. The waiter and staff were pleasant and the location was nice. Highly recommended for if you want a delicious meal before your train takes off. Plus, the area it's in (higher level) is quiet and peaceful- it's nice to get away from all the train hubu - but still just several minutes from the tracks. Nice find in Union Station and will definitely return!"
