Astro Doughnuts And Fried Chicken

If I could give 10 stars I would. The employee here made my trip so much better, I will never forget it. This happened in October. I didn't catch his name a younger gentleman I believe Hispanic but may be wrong. I purchased a honey fried chicken sandwich and 2 donuts for me and my girl. The sandwich after 1 bite was so good I needed another one even though I wasn't hungry it was for my girl. After paying for the 2nd one I sit down to eat outside and open it to take a bite and something splashes on me and over all our food. I look up and 2 stories up is a window cleaner or something. He dropped his chemicals all over our food and when I said hey and pointed at my food he started laughing. I don't know if he speaks English my girl starts yelling at him in Spanish and he slowly lowers to the ground I calm her down and tell her it's fine to not worry about it. I went in to purchase another one because the contractor outside not affiliated with astro doughnuts dropped chemicals on our food and the employee said to not worry about paying and he got me. I was so surprised and that act of kindness did not go unnoticed my brother. Keep up the good work 👏 I went back in about 10 minutes later to thank him and give him a good tip. 👍 the contracting company never took responsibility and the manager came over but didn't offer to pay us back he said we should have not sit where we did because there was a single cone under the guy 2 stories up and no one else safeguarding the area if a whole bucket that was dropped. After though the contractor put up more cones.

The donuts were sweet and soft. The Asteroid chicken sandwich was just ok. While the chicken was fried nicely, the overall sandwich was dry because of the skimp toppings. Also the hot sandwich was mild at best and I needed to add a lot of hot sauce for both spice and to wet the bun. Would come back for the donuts but I would hesitate to return for the sandwich.

Was walking downtown in Washington, DC today and this cute store caught my eye. Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken! Say what, who would imagine, sweets and chicken. Trust me, you’ll fall head over heels in love from the first bite. The staff was friendly, professional and helpful. Being a first timer I was guided over several selections. All were yummy looking, and I wasn’t feeling too adventurous so I choose some safe options. Next time, I’m going ALL in on everything. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, check them out!

I wish I could give this place ten stars. This was the best food I had while in Washington DC. The only thing to keep in mind is that this place is TINY. Like you could probably fit 10 people shoulder-to-shoulder. But the honey butter chicken sandwich and key lime pie doughnut were so incredible. There are some chairs outside to sit on a nice day. I would absolutely go back.

Unfortunately their cherry blossom doughnuts were sold out when we went, so we grabbed creme brulee, vanilla glazed, and chocolate cookies and cream. They were all really good and we would go back there when we are in the area. They also have fried chicken which also looked good as well. Would recommend when going near the white house or Smithsonian area .
