A second prix-fixe ($48 per person) includes all of the above, plus Hong Kong-style roast meats and more entree-style dishes. Two unlimited, daily tasting menus (with a two-hour limit) include a $38 per person option with dumplings, scallion pancakes, pork buns, noodles, and more.

Han Palace dishes up all-you-can-eat dim sum daily. For dessert, don’t miss chef Alex Levin’s soft-serve sundaes in flavors like miso-honey black truffle with toffee crunch and chocolate sauce. Diners can mix-and-match nigiri, rolls, smalls like wagyu-truffle dumplings, and large-format platters such as a koji-aged pork chop with miso beurre blanc. Restaurateur Michael Schlow transformed Tico on 14th Street into a Japanese-inspired destination for sushi, omakase, and share plates. Diners can cozy up to a small bar in the 1930s-era row-building, share plates like roasted oysters with tequila-spiked chili butter or homemade saffron pasta with clams, or go in for a family-style “simple supper” with a parade of different plates ($50 to $60 per person). Nina May owners Danilo Simic and chef Colin McClimans branched out from their popular Shaw spot with a wood-fired, coastal American restaurant in Chevy Chase DC. Opal, a coastal American restaurant from the team behind Nina May, opens in Chevy Chase DC. We have our eye on the “Puebla” with smoky poblano relish, cheddar, mustard, and pickles-plus a side of “wedgey” fries and one of Alt’s smoke-kiss cocktails. Go for smoked patties-a popular style in Texas but rarely seen here-made with local Roseda Farm grass-fed aged beef.

Smoked burgers and tallow-washed cocktails are on order at this buzzy new Capitol Hill hangout-a new collab from Chris Svetlik of Tex-Mex spot Republic Cantina, Sloppy Mama’s owner Joe Neuman, and veteran barman Ben Alt. (They also run American fry joint Little Chicken nearby.) Thin-crust, creative pies are just a slice of the menu, which includes heaping antipasti platters, classics like clams casino and eggplant parm, and pasta with grandma-approved Sunday gravy. Restaurateur Casey Patten-owner of Wharf hoagie haven Grazie Grazie-teamed up with Bammy’s chef Gerald Addison for the 80-seat venture. This new Italian restaurant with old school, red sauce vibes just opened at Midtown Center-and reservations have booked up since.

Grazie Nonna, a red sauce and pizza joint, opens at Midtown Center DC.

Think shellfish plateaus, smoke-kissed small plates like grilled oysters, and a few showstopper platters like a whole roasted lobster with tomalley sauce and kombu butter. The concept is inspired by the high-energy spots Spero discovered while living in Spain, but the concept-which includes a raw bar and wood-fired kitchen-is more global. Michelin-starred chef Johnny Spero just opened this buzzy gastrobar near Penn Quarter as a compliment to his Georgetown tasting room (which sadly closed due to a fire). There’s no cross-over between the two, so if you’re craving the classics (ma po tofu, sweet-and-sour ribs) hit up “Chang-Out.” Meanwhile “Chang-In” will dish up whole duck dinners, weekday bento lunches, and a creative Chinese-American weekend brunch. The two-in-one-concept is split between a Szechuan takeout/delivery (now open) and an upscale, modern-Chinese dining room (open Thursday, October 20).
