Kanpai
Rosslyn, in Arlington, Virginia, is not the liveliest spot on the weekend. There are a few places that draw a crowd (Cafe Asia), but on the weekends it can be a bit quiet. Right near each other on Wilson Blvd. are two the best: Kanpai and Santa Fe Cafe.
Kanpai is a compact Japanese restaurant with a nice little sushi bar and an excellent selection of teriyaki, tempura, udon, and more.
Most entrees are served with a side salad (iceberg lettuce with a choice of sesame or ginger dressing), miso soup, and rise. I like the various katsu options (beef, chicken, pork, deep fried and covered with breadcrumbs served with katsu sauce!). The wide selection of appetizers make for a great start or options for sharing with a group.
The wine list is pleasantly varied and there is a wide selection of Japanese beers.
