The Best Places to Dine in Dupont Circle

"Anju, a modern Korean pub from Fried Rice Collective, the restaurant group behind Chiko, rose up from the ashes of Mandu in 2019. Gochujang fried chicken and pork and kimchi-filled mandu make perfect bar food during a weekday happy hour, but don’t skip out on a full dinner of a huge ssam board centered around prime galbi, bibimbap, stir-fried rice cakes and vegetables, and battered branzino with braised radish. House-infused soju and makgeolli, plus sesame-washed whiskey and hibiscus-infused tequila, are mixed into innovative cocktails." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
