It’s not visible from outside, you need to go inside an unmarked door to find it, and it’s as bare bones as you can be and still be a functioning restaurant. I’ve never eaten anything less than amazing there and while it is vegan, you in no way need to be vegan to enjoy it.
There used to be a few places like this on Rockville Pike. They're all gone now. Once I went into this tiny watch repair shop to get a new battery and walked out the side door into this fabulous Chinese place. It was like a dream, going through some drab, wrong door into someplace fabulous.
