The menu and pictures online looked great so we went there on Saturday only to find out they don't serve the regular menu. We decided to try the brunch menu anyway since we drove from afar and food was not impressive. Wish they were more flavorful.

Kyirisan is in my rotation of restaurants in Shaw. Their menu is always clever and creative. They have interesting combinations of ingredients and flavors that are playful to one’s palate. The culinary staff at this restaurant know how to bring adventure to its cuisine. I never tire of the fried okra; I’m glad that’s always on the menu. I also like their fried whole fish; although, I think that’s no longer on the menu for this season. I also enjoy the scallops with risotto. I’m very particular with how my scallops are prepared, and they get it right at Kyirisan. I noticed some of the reviews complained about the limited menu. I think that’s a good thing. I think restaurants that have long menus can sometimes be overwhelming and characterless. Kyirisan has character.
My favorite restaurant in DC and unfortunately thry are now closed. Definitely find where Chef Tim works now as his food is awesome. Also, thry had the best bartender!!
Came in for restaurant week. Outstanding quality and presentation. The dishes tasted were flavorful and delicious. I will definitely love to return to try their full menu items!
Came here for restaurant week and had an absolutely lovely meal. The staff was very friendly and professional the entire time. The plating of the meals was absolutely gorgeous and they tasted as good at they looked. Just an amazing experience from when we walked into the door to when we left. Kyirisan knows how to prepare and execute a well crafted dinner experience.
Loved the fusion choices. Went during DC restaurant week so the portions were too small for me, but they just be better as regular dishes. Bartender make me a great custom cocktail...tasty but not sugary or weak. The service is nice, friendly, and accommodating.
Overall: One of the best meals I’ve had in DC for price point! Menu is unique, diverse, and every dish brought a new flavor to the table. Food: love, love, love the food here. Each plate was presented so well and the flavors were unique and delicious. The wings, scallops, and yellowtail are an absolutely must. The cauliflower was very good too. Drinks: cocktails and wine selection was very good Ambiance: very nice venue, sleek, clean, and trendy Service: very good service, friendly and attentive, but not too attentive. Also gave good recommendations when asked
Dinner is a rather limited menu. The raw sea bass is overwhelmed by the other flavors, masking flavor and freshness. The prawns are really tender yet salty, some may find it a little raw for their tastes (especially towards the head). The duck confit is expertly crafted in artistic design yet a little dry and missing a WOW factor that roast Peking Duck exhibits. Brunch doesn't seem to offer the tastes of dinner
