The Best New Restaurants Around D.C., March 2025

"The latest restaurant from Yume Hospitality Group brings Thai street foods to Georgetown. A love letter to executive chef and co-owner Saran “Peter” Kannasute’s roots in Thailand, Rimtang is a true family affair. Kannasute’s mother, Prapit La Femina, will lead kitchen as head chef and is responsible for much of the restaurant’s recipe development. The pair are serving up a seafood-heavy menu, featuring more specialty Thai dishes, like the stir-fried clams with chili paste, sweetened with condensed milk and served over jasmine rice. Stir-fried broken bucket noodles are Kannasute and La Femina’s take on pad kee mao (or drunken noodles), with flat rice noodles, egg, chives, and tofu served with ground peanuts, chilis, and lime." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
