This sexy Dupont Circle spot is frequented by a young crowd who keeps coming back for the cool scene and the well-priced modern and locally inspired food that often leans funky but is always delicious. Those seeking value should look no further than the "dishes for one," while those here with a pack of pals will find plenty to share. One dish to not miss is the cumin lamb. The kitchen layers on the flavors, resulting in tender, vibrant meat. La-Zi chicken is braised and fried with sweet leeks, ginger, garlic and plenty of chili, while mapo tofu with ground beef, chili, garlic, scallion and Sichuan peppercorn is always a hit. No reservations or just want a quick bite? The bar always has room.
