Daikaya is two restaurants in one: a ground-floor ramen shop and an upstairs izakaya. The ramen counter serves some of DC’s best bowls — rich tonkotsu, fiery spicy miso, and a vegan option that doesn’t compromise on depth. Upstairs, the izakaya offers creative Japanese small plates, craft cocktails, and an extensive sake menu. The late-night hours make it a favorite post-bar destination.
