Btw, how is the Asian food there in general? That's one thing about living in SF I'd find so hard to go without

It definitely isn't anything to write home about, but it isn't anywhere near as bad as the Mexican food situation here. There is pretty good Asian food, even if a bit more expensive than food back home, in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs, though. With regards to in the District (and for Mexican food: anywhere in the DMV; though, supposedly, there are some legit Mexican places in Hyattsville, MD), most of the Asian/Mexican food is largely forgettable, with none of it really standing out. Philadelphia and Baltimore have much better Mexican food, as does, increasingly, NYC - though none are as good as Mexican food in California
The area on the ethnic food spectrum where DC stands out is Peruvian roasted chicken and Ethiopian, as well as Salvadorian, even if the latter cuisine isn't anything special.
