Temple Lounge
(703) 908-4999
Temple Lounge has an absurdly large menu for an establishment which labels itself as a "lounge." Then again, one third of all of those items are some form of sushi. The other two thirds are a mishmash of cuisine from around the Orient: Pad Thai, Duck Kapow, Num Tok, Wonton soup, Yakitori... the list goes on. As for the "lounge" element; the decor is part Asian-minimalist, part conventional western club with a lot of red. Let's put it this way: you'd half-expect to see Westley Snipes and Sean Connery grilling Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa at a corner of the bar.
Happy hour is from 4:30pm - 7:30pm and be sure to ask about the many drink specials.
