D.C.’s 38 Best Restaurants | Eater DC
"The team behind outer Arlington’s raw fish hit Yume Sushi sauntered into Georgetown in 2023 with a flashy flagship that was named Eater DC’s best new restaurant that year. Tucked inside the mixed-use cluster of Cady’s Alley, the striking sushi cave from executive chef Saran “Peter” Kannasute and co-owner Jeff King breathes fresh life into the old home of L2 lounge. Kannasute’s calling cards like truffle wasabi, monkfish liver, uni with torched wagyu, and widespread use of edible flowers show up across a lengthy list of rolls, and a full kitchen with a hood gives the Bangkok-born chef room to build upon his boundary-pushing menus and introduce hot izakaya offerings for the first time. Kannasute taps into his Thai roots last fall with the opening of Rimtang, a fast-casual street food spot in the nearby space that formerly housed Kintaro. Vibe check: Rotating DJs on weekends, with a scene-y bar slinging stellar espresso martinis until late" - Tierney Plumb
