How did this become my favorite destination whenever I visit DC? Start with memorable, no-holds-barred Thai from the Isaan region - $49 seven-course set menu, no substitutions. Add an intriguing, spare and intimate space. And a fun, concise drink list with cheerful service to match (led by the husband and wife team that own Komi upstairs). No reservations, so I'd recommend lining up 15-20 mins before 5:30 opening to secure a table on weekdays, 30-45 minutes before on weekends.
