"At this must-visit Michelin-starred restaurant inside the InterContinental Washington D.C. – The Wharf, chef Kevin Tien does wondrous things with Vietnamese cuisine. Named one of our Best New Chefs in 2018, when he was cooking at Himitsu — his first solo effort as a chef — he is leaning even more into inspiration from his first-generation, Vietnamese-American upbringing, which began in Louisiana. Bring a group because these dishes are meant for sharing, and you’ll want to taste as much as possible." - Laura Itzkowitz
