Unfortunately Donburi’s planned opening in Adams Morgan got delayed due to the government shutdown. But they are hopeful they can get all their permits in order in around 10 days. Let’s hope so because Donburi sounds like it could be delicious:
“a Japanese “rice bowl dish” consisting of fish, meat, vegetables or other ingredients simmered together and served over rice.”

Izakaya Seki opened up back in July in the former Spotts Barbershop at 1117 V Street, NW. You can see their menu here. Anyone check them out yet? Any must order items?

Zentan is located at 1155 14th Street, NW. Their Web site says:
“Famed Chef Susur Lee introduces DC diners to his inventive global Asian cuisine with ZENTAN, located in Donovan House – a Thompson Hotel. Chef Lee’s culinary creations include his imaginative standouts – the Singapore Slaw with salted plum dressing, Szechwan Style Half Duck with djan lotus crepes, and also a wide selection of Asian crudos, sushi, and sashimi. A selection of the menu is also available at the exclusive rooftop pool bar, ADC (Above DC).”
You can see their menu here.
Any fans? Anyone check out the rooftop pool bar?

Kushi is located at 465 K Street, NW. There was a lot of positive buzz when we first heard they were gonna open up last summer. Looks like they have a pretty cool “Chef’s 9 course tasting menu” March 31st – April 3rd for $60. But I’m wondering what folks think in general has the reality matched the buzz?
Any must order items?

Kushi is set to open at 465 K Street, NW near the giant yellow sculpture we looked at earlier in the week. When I took this photo there were a number of folks walking around inside and the place looked on the cusp of opening. If you live in the City Vista or nearby – what’s the good word?

Chez Mama-san is located at 1039 33rd St, NW. Momiji in Chinatown got good reviews for new Japanese cuisine. I’m curious if anyone has checked out this spot? You can see their menu here.
They also have a nice mural on the side of their building:

Thanks to all the readers who wrote that Nori’s on 14th and Park has been closed for a while. Indeed it was closed when I stopped by this weekend. I haven’t been able to contact the owner yet but I’ll be sure to update with details if they arise. It’s a bit sad since they’ve only been open since October and before that were Mayorga Lounge. Well, I hope whoever moves in next is able to creatively use the odd configuration inside.

This gem was found on ebay by Rose from Wonderland and now graces the patio area (11th and Kenyon). Brilliant find!

This is a downtown restaurant located at 1009 21st Street, NW. They received rather average reviews on Yelp. I seem to recall that there were some Korean restaurant fans so I’m wondering if anyone has checked them out? If so how was the food as well as the prices?
