The liquor license placard says:

“New Restaurant. Japanese cuisine with an assortment of side dishes. Total Occupancy Load of 70.”

This is the old Burger King, and briefly Bicycle space spot between the Building Museum and the Verizon Center. Over the Summer the Post reported that it comes from the owners of Daikaya who “intend to open Bantam King, which will specialize in chicken ramen and Japanese fried chicken.” Ed. Note: I really hope they keep the name Bantam King. Last week we noted the folks from Daikaya were also opening another restaurant in Shaw. Godspeed on both spots!

WAMU reports:

“After nearly 20 years in D.C.’s Chinatown, the Goethe-Institut Washington is saying “auf wiedersehen” to its building on 7th Street Northwest. Director Wilfried Eckstein says the landlord wants to raise the rent by more than 60 percent, so the German cultural center will move to K Street Northwest, near Farragut Square, in December.”

The report also says the new spot will be temporary (3 years) and won’t be able to show films. The Goethe-Institut will continue to look for a permanent home.
