Capitol Hill
Kevin Tien has bottled lightning—twice: first, at award-winning and shuttered favorite Himitsu, and now at his latest venture, Emilie’s. A cart-wheeling, cross-cultural extravaganza, this Capitol Hill newcomer unleashes Tien’s vision of American cuisine with flair. Dips and spreads are rolled out on a cart dim sum-style, plates disclose a delectable mish-mash of influences (everywhere from Vietnam to Louisiana), and the collaborative kitchen gathers D.C.’s top culinary talent. Consider us electrified.
