Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Chinatown, Washington

Tyler C. • December 7, 2015If you couldn't find the La Colombe in the alley, this is a more friendly, front and center setting. Amazing coffee of course! Cortados ask for one dark roast and one light roast espresso.

Ryan • March 31, 2019Everything is good and with more space than the Georgetown location. Very convenient to all things Chinatown.

Lauren Y. • April 7, 2013Head upstairs to the Izakaya and try the pork & brussel sprout skewers, miso braised cod, onigiri, chawanmushi and more! Delicious!

Jonelle C. • July 27, 2018Pizza, bowls, wraps, pita, mango lassi

Luis A. • October 11, 2011Try the palm beach shrimp salad, really good!

Amy B. • December 28, 2019Very good weekend brunch with everything from scrambled eggs, to salads and bbq. Highlight is the fresh-baked donuts and pastries made in house.

Michael J. • June 17, 2020Tons of great cocktails, nice craft beer and cool space. If you like Lost & Found, Free State isn't far behind.

William J. • April 16, 2017In my 29 years alive I've never had something as good as the spam fried rice. I will tell grandchildren about this meal, it was that good. Their Japanese whiskey selection is out of this world too!

Lucas B. • July 19, 2019Spicy miso is the best around DC. Skip going Daikaya around the corner. This place has the great ramen you are looking for.
