Pho 14 and Pho Viet in Columbia Heights. Pho 14 has great banh mi's and Pho Viet's pho is phenomenal (really, pho at both places is very good).

Lia's in Chevy Chase or Chef Geoff's by AU but only for the burgers and super mugs of beer at happy hour.

Cactus Cantina in Cathedral Heights. Their steak fajitas are great.

Jeff & Barbara Black are locals... who care deeply about the community. Yes, they now own a handful of restaurants.. but they certainly aren't corporate in the way that Woodmont Grill is, c'mon!


They have their own restaurant group and several other restaurants. So yes, I would classify them as corporate-owned,on a smaller scale.


That is NOT the connotation of corporate. Corporate in foodie lingo means national chain, often franchised.


Who cares? Corporate or not, I don't consider it a great restaurant.


But as your list demonstrates, you know nothing about good food. So there's that.


Care to make any suggestions, then?

Thai Farm is fantastic. Where is sushi Damo? Falls Grove? My favorite sushi place closed in Kentlands and I'm looking for a replacement. I also like Raku in Bethesda but that's a bit far without advance planning.

Donburi in Adams Morgan - very good rice bowls.
Sakuramen in Adams Morgan is also pretty good.
DGS Deli in Dupont - upscale Jewish deli food, not too $$$.
Duke's Grocery in Dupont - British fry-up.
2 Amys for the thin-crust pizza.

Sushi Damo is in Rockville Town Square. Another good place closer to Kentlands is Sushi Oishii near Cava in Shady Grove. While those are good, Yuraku is the best for sushi in the area in my opinion.

No, but it may help explain why DC's food scene is what it is.

DC Coast is consistently very good. I have also always had a good experience at Brasserie Beck.

Cactus Cantina
Love cactus cantina!

SSSSHHHHHH don't tell them now they'll all come and there's barely anywhere to park as it is. I want to watch my soccer and drink my mojito in relative peace. Virginians stay away; we have blacks/jews/democrats guarding the entrances.


Wow, PP, you sure are ignorant if you think we don't have blacks, Jews, and Democrats in Virginia. You can stay away from our good restaurants, too.



We have Democrats in Virginia? You mean like both our Senators and our Governor, the former Chair of the DNC? Or the majority of voters who swung VA's electoral votes for Obama the past two elections?
