the Peking Duck is LEGIT. The rest of the menu is good, but it is pretty standard issue Chinese food. By DC standards an “A”, and I would say average by NYC standards
Peking Gourmet Inn
Kaz is an old school DC sushi place. I think that it is good and consistent, but won’t blow your socks off.
Kaz Sushi Bistro
I have not been here, but there was a restaurant called Kushi in DC years ago that was SO good and its closing was devastating (IMO). The chef from there has opened the place in the link. It should be good, but looks a little ambitious.

Kinship
Marcel’s is, to me, a restaurant in the truest sense. Robert Wiedmaier is a fisherman, a hunter, and a chef. He “gets” it. He understands ingredients and technique and is true to the food. His meals can be a little bit rich, and they don’t lack p...

Q is great. The food – all of it – is wonderful. On Saturday and Sunday they do dim sum. While you don’t get the full on experience (for the good or bad of it) that you would have in Flushing, the actual dim sum is every bit as good and anything th...
