As a visitor to DC, you'll probably end up in Dupont Circle at some point, and maybe you'll go by Metro. Just around the corner from the Q Street Metro exit, Raku offers "pan-asian cuisine" in some of the most expensive real estate in the city. You may be tempted to eat there on the terrace and people watch. Unless you're dying for some non-descript, pricey kinda-asian food, keep moving. Neither Japanese, Viet, Chinese, nor Thai, this restaurant offers a bunch of non-American food. Boiled soybeans, pad thai, and sushi are all offered, and none of these would pass at a restaurant that specializes. Plus, you get the added bonus of indifferent attitude from a staff that knows the tables will always be full. Walk a few blocks east to Sushi Taro and get some real Asian food.
Pros: Light, exotic asian food
Cons: Expensive for what you get, bad service
