Haikan is our second Sapporo Ramen shop in DC after Daikaya. Haikan means, “pipe works” in Japanese, an ode to Atlantic Plumbing Building where we are located. At Haikan, we focused on creating the taste of ramen from the showa period, the golden age of ramen in Japan. There are over 1000 ramen shops in the city of Sapporo alone, and we are excited to share a completely new line-up of traditional Sapporo style ramen in DC. In addition to ramen, we are serving a playful selection of Japanese-inspired kozara (small plates) to share, or to start with, or to make a whole meal of by picking a few of them. Haikan's bar serves a collection of Japanese-inspired cocktails, and a concentrated selection of Japanese sake, shochu, beer, whisky, and more.

    I highly recommend checking out Mita. My friend and I very much enjoyed their 6 course tasting menu and found it appropriately priced. We had to change our reservation fairly last minute by phone and the host graciously accommodated us. Service was friendly and low key. Our cocktails were 10/10 - when they came to the table we were so happy. I love when a cocktail is visually beautiful and these were with big bouquets of mint garnish, red wine floaters, pebble ice their own colorful woven coasters to match. The courses were well thought out and timed. It was exciting to read each dish on the menu and see how the listed ingredients translated to plating, flavor, and texture. We weren't sure if we'd walk away still hungry but were actually very full.

    Zaytinia impressed on all fronts. The chef's talent shines through in every dish - expect inventive flavor combinations that really work. Each plate was a delightful surprise, showcasing quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The staff struck a perfect balance - attentive and knowledgeable, yet warm and unpretentious. Their familiarity with the menu enhanced our dining experience. The ambiance is equally inviting - elegant without being stuffy. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably linger over a excellent meal and good conversation. Zaytinia offers a top-notch dining experience that's worth seeking out. Whether for a special occasion or a treat-yourself evening, it doesn't disappoint. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their menu.
