"Bangkok-born chef Saran Kannasute fulfilled his dream of opening his first restaurant on the outskirts of Arlington in 2018. Holding court behind a sleek sushi counter framed with a graffiti-splashed geisha mural, he’s not afraid to play with offbeat flavors like lavender-smoked salmon, monkfish liver, and uni with torched wagyu. The team just expanded across state lines with the July opening of sushi stunner Kyojin in Georgetown’s old L2 Lounge." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
