I love this place! The atmosphere is great,the wait staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is incredible. The adobe chicken was fall off the bone tender and the pork belly rice was light but very flavorful. I definitely recommend this place
I celebrated my birthday with a kamayan dinner at Bistro 1521. From the beginning they were so accommodating and really did such a great job handling a group our size (23 people)! Our server was amazing and Mike, the manager really did a great job coordinating everything with me. We all had such a great time and all of my friends were super impressed because they've never done anything like that before! The food was amazing and I'll definitely be coming back.
This is my third visit at Bistro, and each time I’m satisfied with the service and food quality. We had fish escabeche, lumpia sariwa, shrimp pinakbet, lechon kawali, and ube cheesecake. All were delicious esp, the lumpia sariwa and ube cheesecake 👏. The location is also very convenient. Great ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant.
The most incredible spot in Arlington! I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know! Atmosphere is awesome, staff very friendly and the food is amazing! I will definitely be back next time I'm here!
amazing bistro in Washington DC area, staff is great and the owner is very accommodating, proud that we have a best filipino restaurant in Metro DC area.
Highly recommended!!! Great place to dine... Do not forget to order the Inihaw sa Bilao. The best for a family of 4-5 members... Halo- halo, SARAP❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️...Kain na kayo dun...
I love the chicken friend rice, taste good and sophisticated. Tortang talong (eggplant) is awesome. Price is reasonable considering the serving and the location. Hats off to the owner, Manny Tagle.
Amazing lunch last sunday! 👌🏽It feels like home cooking! The desserts are to die for specially the turon and the ube cheesecake! Hopefully we can visit Bistro 1521 soon again👍🙂
Overall, the place is inviting, neat and comfy, fabulous experience with my friends today for late lunch, haven't tried it all, will come back, enjoyed inihaw in bilao, crispy pata, ukoy and sisig just to name some.
1521 the new hang out place! Great pinoy food and ice cold red horse beer.

Bistro 1521 has a comfortable atmosphere for small groups, dining as a couple or even dining by yourself. The server we had was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu. She checked up on us frequently but not too much. The drink selection is very interesting. I tried a couple of the house specialties and WOW, were they ever tasty, and definitely not weak.
The fresh spring roll was very clean tasting and the fried spring rolls had a fantastic flavor as well. The barbeque chicken was probably the best chicken I have had, it was very moist and the sauce has a wonderful sweet note to it. The vegetable noodle bowl (vegetarian) that I ordered was really good but it was so much food I couldn't finish it. (Not complaining).
My favorite item on the menu is the purple yam cheesecake. It has a very unique flavor and the perfect creamy texture. If you eat here you must try it.
Vegetarian options: There is a very small "Vegetarian" section on the menu and only one item was actually vegetarian. I'm sure some items can be tweaked to make them veg friendly.
Food was good and staff was really friendly. Large space with some loud groups but at least everyone was having fun. Prices are moderate and portions are generous.
Best service and best Filipino food. We’re visiting from out of town and walking into Bistro 1521 was our favorite meal of the trip! THANK YOU!
Spent a few years in the Philippines and this place hit the spot. Great selection of foods and drinks. The environmental was nice and the waitstaff helpful. I'd like to go back next time I'm in town.
Excellent service! We recently did an event at their private room, Myka was our point of contact from day one. She catered to all our needs up until the end making sure we and our guests were taken care of. Coordinated with the baker for the cake that was brought in and even had room for live bands to play. Contact Bistro and Myka on your next event!
If you want to eat sisig this is the place you want to be. The food is a little expensive though but it's worth it. We ordered ihaw -ihaw flatter, good for 4-5 people with extra rice, with 2 order of sisig and you're good. We enjoyed the everything. Service is great. The location is very near DC. Parking is not a problem just pay $2 located at the same building. I attached their menu so check it out.
