The seven course tasting menu is fantastic - the flavors are extremely inventive. It's one-of-a-kind in DC and a great value for the price. Some dishes rotate with the seasons and I look forward to seeing what the chef creates next!

Honestly a great experience overall. I came all the way out from California, so eating at Shia was a treat for the first time in the DMV area. Chef Edward Lee's initiative and research are very admirable and you can tell it in every bite. The staff was also very hospitable and accommodating. Thank you for the experience!

There was mixture of amazing dishes and average dishes. It was overall interesting experience but I don't think I would go back. Mostly due to amount of the food compare to the price and I wasn't blown away by the taste and ingredient.

It’s amazing! Chef Lee has a creative way in working hard-to-find Korean ingredients into his dishes. Those dishes work really well for people who like Asian food but I can also see the dishes work with a wide range of taste buds.
