Toryumon Japanese House coming to 19th and Pennsylvania Ave, NW


1901 Pennsylvania Ave, NW

Whoa, big news for the long vacant subterranean space previously home to SOHO, Crossroads and Heritage India/Zanzibar – Toryumon Japanese House is coming. A liquor license application says:

“A new Restaurant serving Japanese cuisine. Seating Capacity of 49 and Total Occupancy Load of 66. The Restaurant will not include Entertainment, Dancing or Cover Charge.”

I couldn’t find much info online besides this possibly related logo contest:

“The Toryumon japanese house will be a moderately priced, 100 seats restaurant offering made-to-order, hand-held Sushi, Ramen and poke bowl in delicious Asian and Latin flavor and full bar”

Updates when more is known.
