Located in the heart of the Mt. Vernon Square neighborhood in D.C. is Kushi, an izakaya and sushi restaurant serving some of the best Japanese cuisine in the city. Izakaya - a traditional Japanese restaurant serving grilled items created from the highest quality ingredients (many of which are flown in daily from Japan) - is represented well here, as Kushi uses a deep charcoal robata pit and smaller yakitori grills to create its delicacies.

Cool concept, pricey fare – I guess a Japanese izakaya-style restaurant could be equated to a Spanish tapas-style restaurant - order many small dishes to share. But the risk you run at any tapas spot is the same here at Kushi - if you're hoping to really feel satisfied, expect to pay for it.
