Located in the heart of Chinatown in DC, Zengo Restaurant continuously introduces guests to new flavors in a hip and chic environment. It’s a great place to grab and drink or sit down and have a great dining experience. With two multi-levels, who can resist bright colors after a long day! Guests will enjoy great cuisine with blends of Asian and Latin spices enticing your senses at first bite. Experience Zengo Restaurant for yourself and you are guaranteed a great time!

Since Zengo translates to “give and take”, savor, indulge, and explore the taste of tangy spicy flavors. Try Zengo’s Chicken Tandoori dish that features the sweetness of mangos with the spiciness of cilantro and black beans for a filling but savory dinner. For a seductive drink try their Midnight Karma which offers guests splashes of Rangpur Gin with fruity blueberries for a satisfying thirst quencher. Hopefully later on karma won’t be a.... well, you know. If you feel inspired to have drink with an Asian twist, try the Kimono Kiss flavorful Mandarin vodka intertwined with sake for a rich, sweet, and worldly taste.

Modern open spaces with architecture details are featured at Zengo. Family style dark wood tables with small armless barstools allow ideal room between guests for intimate conversations. Pendant lighting adorns the tall and simple ceilings along with exposed wood beams and the walls and nearby columns are coated with warm terracotta color. For large groups, glass enclosures add privacy but openness to the surrounding restaurant area that is lined with orange booths and beige chairs. The bar also features nude colors with tall dark brown barstools and neutral granite countertops. Along the backsplash are different textured surfaces with an Asian theme. A lounge area facing the bar allows for more seating and small group conversations.
