It originated in Japan through the love that the Japanese had for Italian food but wanted to incorporate some of their cultural flavors and ingredients to them. We at Daikaya Group and chef & owner, Katsuya Fukushima, are bringing this experience to you here in DC.Looking for some fun Japanese antipasti bites, one of a kind pasta dishes, or pizza that you won't find anywhere else in the city?

The izakaya experience is perfect for after work, before a big night out, as a full supper, or for late-night bites with friends. The cuisine is freestyle and adaptive in nature.

    From the moment we walked in the door, until my husband and I left, service was impeccable. The atmosphere was great, our seating location was perfect and the food was top notch! We will definitely be back!

    Tonari is a great spot for innovative flavors served via the best comfort foods: pizza and ramen. Make a reservation for days with events at nearby Capitol One Arena because this is a popular spot for both food and drinks. Check out the cute crochet foods for sale on the bookcase next to the bar as a keepsake from an amazing meal experience.

    This restaurant has great ambiance, food, drinks, and staff. While the farm to table aspect is impressive itself, the fact that they make their own spirits is an added bonus. I had the G&T Fizz, recommended by our waiter Lucas, and it was excellent. Lucas was attentive and knowledgeable making the overall experience 10 out of 10.

    Food was great, however, they changed their menu significantly and took off all the meat dishes (Iskender kebab and others). Now they only have kebabs with ground beef and chicken (no more cut meat)
