RESY: The 10 Restaurants That Defined D.C. Dining in 2025

This all-day diner on Capitol Hill from chefs Danny Lee and Scott Drewno (Anju, Fried Rice Collective) has a devoted following with a line out the door to prove its popularity. No matter your preference, whether it’s a perfectly made puffin (Korean milk bread blueberry muffin), stacked turkey bacon BLT with a fried egg (a dish that uses smoked turkey from D.C.’s best BBQ joint 2Fifty), or a more traditional Korean comfort dish — fried egg with bean curds — this restaurant has got you covered. What we love most about this place is its playful attitude too. For instance, Pedialyte, Liquid IV, Gatorade, and coconut water are all on the menu for some rehydration after a night out with friends.
