Asian Spice Gets Exterior Signage, Now Hiring (719 H St NW)

Posted by gpliving
July 28, 2008

Asian Spice sits at the NE corner of H St & 8th St NW. Even though the main entrance is on H St, this restaurant has a considerable amount of frontage on 8th St. Additionally, the sidewalk on the 8th St side is very wide – we’ll be expecting to see a sidewalk seating license application soon!

Isn’t it on the NE corner of 8th and H Sts NW? Regardless, looks like a nice building and an improvement for that corner. The seating on 8th Street would be wonderful, as that livens up that block.

Chris, you are correct – thanks!

I’m excited for this place–a friend who lives in MoCo told me that the people opening this restaurant used to have a restaurant in Frederick with great food and an amazing beer selection. So I’m hoping this place lives up to that promise.

Actually, the owners are the same people who own Kanlaya (Thai restaurant on 6th–behind Gallery Place Condos).

MLH: That sounds very promising! I’m a big fan of Kanlaya.

I was wondering if it was related to Spices in Cleveland Park and Nooshi. Fonts used look similar. Is there a web site?

I know this is technically Chinatown, but “Asian” sounds abit generic. Also, couldn’t we get a little more diversity in the cuisine in the area? How about a NY style pizzeria or a good Jewish deli?
And what’s with Momiji on H near 5th? The sign has been up for months but nothing.

This afternoon were tables, umbrellas and chairs in an area surrounded by what lloked like tall flower boxes on the 8th street side of Asia Spice.

Let’s hope they open soon.
