Overrated, sorry - Edit
I went today. My first time was summer of 2023. I noticed I didn’t leave a HC review last year and wondered why. My visit today reminded me some of why — it’s just not that good. And I hate to hate on an all vegan place.
Read moreThe issue is the food is just way too sugary and salty. And I’m an unhealthy junk food vegan. A member of my party said “the first bite is good but it just get sweeter and sweeter.” My whole party felt that way and said let’s never come back. We never say that about any place. And we arrived very hungry and ready to give it a try.
Also it’s pretty pricey.
Ambiance is mid.
Where I think they excel is the texture of the foods. It is very good and lots of variety.
Today they were completely out of noodles (!!). So not a single noodle dish was available.
To be clear we didn’t have any issues with service or any of that. But after two trips I’m writing this to remind myself not to go back. Plenty of better options around to try.
RECOMMENDATIONS: they should consider a sub menu of healthier options.

I'm just going by what the picture shows, and regardless of why you say it’s salty, you’re the one who went a second time?!

Highly recommend! - Edit
A must try! I wasn’t expecting much since this is fast casual and I can be picky with Asian food, but this is one of the best vegan Asian restaurants I’ve been to. Tried the sichuan dumplings, hoisin steak fried rice, chick’n fingers and generals chick’n - all were amazing!

Fresh and fast vegan food - Edit
I came here in my lunch break. They got my order out within five minutes. I got the chicken teriyaki fried rice bowl. I ordered double protein as well. I was a little disappointed with the portions for the protein. But the vegan chicken was absolutely delicious. They also didn’t put in the broccoli like it showed on the picture. They threw in a couple pineapple pieces as well which was a surprise. This place is pretty pricey, expect to spend at least $20 on a meal. But the quality of the food is pretty good.

Scrumptious! - Edit
We had a great dinner at Pow Pow! The portions and prices were pretty decent too. Would definitely recommend going here, and especially ordering one of their rice or noodle bowls!

First Class Vegan eats - Edit
I have been to many vegan spots all around the world but I must say Pow Pow is in a class by itself. The food is so delicious that it is addictive. From the Disco Stick to the Trolly Fries. The food is top notch. This is a must visit.

Also love their giant egg rolls, Korean angry noodles, etc. I do find their Natalie Portman one too sweet but maybe people like that.

Amazing! - Edit
We chose Pow Pow sort of randomly, it was near the White House and we were hungry for dinner. We are so glad we did! We had the midnight egg roll and the Buddha bowl. Best vegan we’ve had in DC! And to top it off we had the chimi chimi banana cocoa eggroll for dessert. Out of this world! And the best part was the man behind the counter was so friendly and helpful! We will certainly be back. Thank you Pow pow!

Lovely place for a quick bite - Edit
Went here because I was looking for a quick affordable bite, was not disappointed. Great food and friendly staff. Some of the dishes may be spicy and the menu won’t always say so.

Lovely food. Bowls and cauliflower. Not the best gyozas I’ve ever had but there’s plenty of other choices.

Tasty - Edit
Fast casual restaurant with surprisingly complex and tasty options. Lots of vegetables. I was with a group, and the guy who got fried rice found it mediocre, but everyone else loved their food.

Crazy - Edit
Absolutely the best food I had in DC, I went twice during my 4-day visit. The portion sizes are great, all the individual elements in the food are just so carefully prepared, and the prices are pretty reasonable. The interiors are super nice too. 10/10, 5/5, 100% would recommend!! I hope they will keep up the good work!

Good fast food, lots of options - Edit
You order from a touchscreen. I had to go look at the menu board to see what was in the bowl, then go back. I wish there was a full printed menu by the kiosk. The kiosk was easy to use.
Read moreWe had colds, so we got the wonton soup. I had the Korean BBQ bowl, and my husband had the lemon chik'n bowl. The soup was awesome! Just what we needed, with a really good broth. The BBQ bowl was very good, and I love the multigrain rice base. My husband didn't care for the lemon sauce on his; he said it was too goopy and the chik'n wasn't crisp. Overall a good value and worth trying!
Pros: The wonton soup was great!, The rice grain base for the bowls was delicious , Easy, fast
Cons: No printed menu with full descriptions by kiosk, Seating and tables hadn't been wiped down

Ehh.. - Edit
I would say service was terrible but there wasn't any, no one took my order or brought my food. The toppings on the trolley fries were good but the actual fries were dry. The Mom's Style was over powered by the curry and I couldn't taste anything else. I ended up throwing most of it away. Not even walking 12 miles around DC made it taste good.

Cons: Service , Fries, Mom's style
