For how much I paid, I feel like the amount/taste doesnt really match. They have a nice view & interiors on the 2nd floor though. 10% tariff fee so heads up before going! Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $40–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Kaiseki craving satisfied! Ko Japanese Dining, a family-owned restaurant serving authentic Japanese fare in Dupont Circle might just be our new favorite. Mom Mikki is head chef, her daughter is sous chef, her older son is the bartender, and her younger son runs the front of the house. Exquisite food and impeccable service! Six-course kaiseki menu: ︎ Platter of small plates (tamago with unagi, caramelized pork belly, shrimp dumpling with lotus root, braised beef with potatoes and veggies, squid salad, and pickled veggies) ︎ Assorted sashimi (tuna, fatty tuna, yellowtail, and seafood bream) ︎ Chawan mushi (savory egg custard) ︎ Melt-in-your-mouth grilled wagyu ︎ Tempura shrimp, squid and seasonal veggies served with rice and miso soup ︎ Vanilla ice cream with macha sauce Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
