“Ginza Karaoke Spot & BBQ Lounge, the newest project from restaurateur Chris Zhu (Han Palace and China Garden), will debut on Friday, November 18th for dinner service. The restaurant and karaoke lounge is located at 526 8th Street SE, Washington, DC. in the heart of Barracks Row on Capitol Hill.
Ginza takes its design cues from Tokyo’s Ginza district, which features its most famous shopping, dining and entertainment. The building’s second level, dubbed Ginza Karaoke, is a karaoke lover’s haven, split into an array of distinct areas. The largest room can accommodate up to 50 people, while two mid size rooms can accommodate groups of up to 15, and five more smaller rooms can accommodate up to 10 people each. One level up on the third floor, the Ginza BBQ lounge offers a menu of traditional Japanese BBQ favorites. Served alongside a selection of starters and desserts, all can be enjoyed with one of their many unique cocktails. Complete with its own outdoor rooftop patio, the laid-back vibe and welcoming service makes it the perfect spot to unwind, relax, and have an unforgettable meal.
During the day, the 3rd level lounge is the perfect spot for an unique take on Afternoon Tea, with a selection of desserts and bubble tea. The desserts include Cake Rolls and Crepe Cakes, which are made from stacked layers of cream and thin crepes, fashioned into a tall cake. Crepe cakes, available by the slice or whole cake, include flavors like White Peach Oolong, Matcha, Thai Tea and Passion Fruit and Cake roll flavors include Taro, Oreo, Red Velvet and Chestnut. All can be paired with Bubble Tea, served in traditional flavors like Brown Sugar, Thai Tea and original.
Up next, Zhu will open a second Ginza location at the Wharf in SW DC.
