Ten Penh
Located at the corner of 10th and Penn. Ave., NW (get it, 10/Penn?), Ten Penh offers an Asian fusion in an elegant environment. Choose either the dining room, the bar, or (weather permitting) the sidewalk tables where you can watch everything from Presidential motorcades to tour busses rolling past.
The elegance of the setting is more than matched by the spectacular food. I've never been disappointed by anything I've ordered.
My most recent visit was a lunch with colleagues after a half day presentation. Walking the few blocks through the unseasonable (even for Washington in early June) heat, we were a bit disappointed that the a/c wasn't keeping up with the stress, but we soon adapted. Water came quickly and the edamame (baby soybeans) hit the spot.
I went with the Grilled Thai Beef Salad (Mixed Greens, Carrots, Tomatoes, Chile-Lime Dressing), the others in my party had the Pan Seared Scallops (Asian Potato Cake, Fennel Tangerine Salad, Spicy Citrus Glaze), and the Pan Seared Ahi Tuna Burger (wasabi Aioli, Pickled Ginger and Asian Slaw).
Along with DC Coast, Acadiana, and Ceiba (I've only been to the latter), Ten Penh is part of the Passion Foods group.
A perfect spot for a business lunch, a romantic dinner, or an after work snack at the bar!
