Kyirisan

Overall: One of the best meals I’ve had in DC for price point! Menu is unique, diverse, and every dish brought a new flavor to the table. Food: love, love, love the food here. Each plate was presented so well and the flavors were unique and delicious. The wings, scallops, and yellowtail are an absolutely must. The cauliflower was very good too. Drinks: cocktails and wine selection was very good Ambiance: very nice venue, sleek, clean, and trendy Service: very good service, friendly and attentive, but not too attentive. Also gave good recommendations when asked

Kyirisan is in my rotation of restaurants in Shaw. Their menu is always clever and creative. They have interesting combinations of ingredients and flavors that are playful to one’s palate. The culinary staff at this restaurant know how to bring adventure to its cuisine. I never tire of the fried okra; I’m glad that’s always on the menu. I also like their fried whole fish; although, I think that’s no longer on the menu for this season. I also enjoy the scallops with risotto. I’m very particular with how my scallops are prepared, and they get it right at Kyirisan. I noticed some of the reviews complained about the limited menu. I think that’s a good thing. I think restaurants that have long menus can sometimes be overwhelming and characterless. Kyirisan has character.

Came here for restaurant week, and took our (awesome) waiter's recommendation to try 8 among the four of us. The risotto with scallops were excellent, the tartar, and the duck with confit. We found the famous chicken drumsticks to be extremely underwhelming however. Service was fantastic, the place was cool in a low key avant garde way, and all in all a good time.

Came here for restaurant week and had an absolutely lovely meal. The staff was very friendly and professional the entire time. The plating of the meals was absolutely gorgeous and they tasted as good at they looked. Just an amazing experience from when we walked into the door to when we left. Kyirisan knows how to prepare and execute a well crafted dinner experience.

Dinner is a rather limited menu. The raw sea bass is overwhelmed by the other flavors, masking flavor and freshness. The prawns are really tender yet salty, some may find it a little raw for their tastes (especially towards the head). The duck confit is expertly crafted in artistic design yet a little dry and missing a WOW factor that roast Peking Duck exhibits. Brunch doesn't seem to offer the tastes of dinner

Loved the fusion choices. Went during DC restaurant week so the portions were too small for me, but they just be better as regular dishes. Bartender make me a great custom cocktail...tasty but not sugary or weak. The service is nice, friendly, and accommodating.

Pretty spectacular. The Bib Gourmand designation by Michelin was well deserved. The restaurant decor is very modern but they present themselves with a charming quirkiness which you can see evidenced in their menu. Our server, Blake, was impeccable and had that right amount of sass which contributed to our dining experience. The Sous Vide Duck Confit is one of the most delicious things I've eaten in my life. You're missing out if you don't order this. The other menu items we got, the scallops and the wings, and the dessert item were also delectable The cocktails were typical prices for D.C. and well made. A cocktail option that is unique is "Dealer's Choice." Pick a base spirit and two flavors and they do the rest. If you don't like it, they take it back and make another. I came here for a Birthday dinner and I was wowed. They were kind enough to serve complimentary champagne. A truly excellent place to eat.

Came in for restaurant week. Outstanding quality and presentation. The dishes tasted were flavorful and delicious. I will definitely love to return to try their full menu items!
