- Sarah MarieDelightful and imaginative food- we tried a little of everything on the menu. The veggie wurst is delicious and has great texture, the dumplings are homey and filling. I adored the fish and chips as well. The space is comfortable and cozy, I will absolutely be back!
- Joan RoweGreat food, lovely cocktails, and a good beer selection. Oh, and the music! I picked up a few new tracks to listen to while having dinner on the patio. In addition, the staff were amazing.
- Sonya HuEclectic, unique, and absolutely delightful Eastern European spot in the heart of Adams Morgan with solid vegan food and a really special vibe. I visited sPACYcLOUd during their month-long Mushroom Experience event in September, which meant I had the opportunity to sample a few of their limited-time creations! I had their mushroom barley soup, which was, admittedly, an odd choice for a super hot September afternoon, but still absolutely delicious and comforting. It felt like a hug in a bowl, and I really hope that the dish sticks around (or comes back) as the weather gets colder. The friend I visited with opted for their potato pirozhki with mushrooms, which were perfectly crispy on the outside, with a wonderfully soft, comforting interior and amazingly flavorful filling. I do think that the price is a little steep for the amount of food that you get -- you honestly might need to order 2-3 dishes per person if you want to have a fully satisfying meal. The pirozhki, for example, were $12 for just two, which certainly isn't an outrageous price point, but definitely does add up pretty quickly. Even so, the food was incredible, and the fact that it was vegan was shocking -- after all, "vegan friendly" is one of the last things that comes to mind when I think of Eastern European cuisine. It's awesome that sPACYcLOUd was able to provide a space for vegans and vegetarians (and, of course, meat eaters as well :) ) an opportunity to try out a cuisine that is generally too meat-heavy to ever be a viable option, and they add to the experience with their super unique decor and vibe. The restaurant is basically a skate shop, with spray paint and skateboards lining the walls, dim lighting and grungy furniture, and punk rock playing in the background. It, admittedly, doesn't quite fit my vibe, but it was still really fun to experience, but I can see why it would appeal to other people. Plus, there's always the option to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful weather if you're not into the grungy vibes and are just visiting for the delightful vegetarian / vegan food. All in all, highly recommend sPACYcLOUd for its unique atmosphere and fantastic plant-based cooking,
- Ava MatthewsWe were looking for a cool sushi or Asian Fusion place and this spot showed up on Google. I guess restaurants can pay to have good reviews now. Don’t believe it. You will be charged 20% tip. You order on your phone. The waiter brought water and didn’t even acknowledge us. Then we finally get the food randomly delivered with zero salutation. The most mediocre food I’ve had in a while. Mediocre food, TERRIBLE TO ZERO service that you will pay for no matter what. $150 later, I’m going for ice cream.
- c leonardThis restaurant has really great food, friendly staff, and fun vibes. The plates are mostly small, although sandwiches and fries are larger portions. Definitely enough to share! I just wish that they had more of the menu available, because they have some interesting eastern European foods that are not always easy to find! I also recommend sitting outside.
