"Both the lively interior and the outdoor patio of Tamari Bar are nice spaces for hanging out, eating Japanese small plates, and drinking cocktails like the signature lemon sour topped with lemon ice. Food-wise, we like the torched sushi, spicy noodles, and poutine with nori and parmesan. If you’d prefer something interactive, you can also cook your own meat on an extremely hot rock." - aimee rizzo
"This excellent Japanese restaurant on Capitol Hill serves sashimi staircases, torched sushi rolls, dumplings, and marinated wagyu you sear yourself on a molten hot rock. All that is truthfully enough fun for an entire weekend. And even though it’s pretty packed every night of the week with walk-in traffic, you could call and make a 12-person reservation for the very next day. This is particularly useful if you forgot to get something on the books for your friend’s birthday, and you’d like them to still be your friend." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"The Deal: $6 Sapporo Pints, $8 Mules, $10 Toki Whiskey Highballs, $12 Boilermakers, Discounted Snacks, Drink & Food Combos The whiskey highballs at Tamari Bar on Capitol Hill are excellent. We’re also big fans of the food on the regular menu, from spicy dan dan ramen to the wagyu beef you cook yourself on a sizzling rock." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"Tamari Bar is our favorite spot for sashimi on Capitol Hill. From salmon belly chirashi topped with miso sauce and ikura to perfectly sweet scallops, the fish here is so great on its own that we almost forget about the many other delicious things under their roof (looking at you, pork dumplings, soft serve with matcha syrup, and marinated wagyu cooked on a hot rock). If you prefer your sushi in maki form, they also serve tasty rolls." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
