Thanks to a reader for sending. Check out their menu here. Quickway’s website says:

“healthy, tasty alternative?

Here at Quickway Japanese Hibachi, you’ll find fresh, quality food, served fast, with style.
It’s how we have grown from one prototype store to 7 locations, and counting, within 20 months, in the DC metro area.

So, how do we do it?

We bring the Teppanyaki (teppan, Japanese for griddle; yaki, grill, broiled) cooking technique to a quick service restaurant setting. The proteins are prepared fresh on the open grill in your full view, a true cooked to order signature dish.
We offer choices of salads, sides, and sushi, all prepared from All Day Fresh™ ingredients and homemade sauces.

Plus, we really care if you have a cool place to eat. We build our space to be clean, convenient and modern.

Of course, our food is healthy, with reduced salt, no trans fat, and no MSG.
And yeah, all this in a value package.

So if you are looking for freakin’ good food, with quick, quality service, then welcome and enjoy!”

Thanks to a reader for passing the word that Dunya closed Sunday night:

“It’s time to say goodbye… FAREWELL weekend at our bar;
We want to say thank You all for supporting us and enjoying with our service, staff and DJs…”

Dunya opened pretty recently in December 2013. Updates when we learn what happens to the prime space – and roof deck.

“Chef Michael Schlow to open Casolare in Glover Park”

I almost missed this massive news when I headed to the beach last weekend:

“Award-winning chef Michael Schlow, owner and operator of TICO on DC’s 14th Street corridor, The Riggsby in the Carlyle Hotel – Dupont Circle, and the recently opened Alta Strada and Conosci in Mt. Vernon Triangle, will open Casolare, a restaurant in the newly renovated Glover Park Hotel. The coastal Italian restaurant, designed by Brian Miller of Edit Lab at Streetsense, is set to open in July 2016.

Casolare’s cuisine will bring coastal Italian fare to Glover Park with food from the regions of Amalfi, Sardinia, Puglia, Cinque Terre and Livorno. A vast majority of the cuisines represented are from the south of Italy, and the menu will offer antipasti, wood stone-fired pizzas and a wide selection of seafood. Many of the dishes are adaptations of what Schlow learned from home cooks throughout his travels to Italy and will feature traditional favorites such as eggplant parmigiano, as well as a Sardinian rigatoni tossed with white beans, diced soppressata, black olives, tomatoes and chilies and a traditional ravioli from Puglia stuffed with potato, mint and pecorino.

Last week we shared the sad news that La Fourchette’s last day would be June 12th. Turns out it will be June 11th. The Washington Business Journal now reports on the replacement:

“Los Cuates got its start on Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown in 2008 and opened a second restaurant on King Street in Alexandria in 2013. The menu features heartier Mexican dishes such as burritos, enchiladas, meat and seafood entrees.

Los Cuates aims to open in the 2,500-square-foot restaurant space by August.”
