About the restaurant

Our new seafood menu is a culinary journey that celebrates the rich traditions of Cajun and American coastlines and the bold, adventurous flavors of Asian seafood. We pride ourselves on crafting seafood dishes that celebrate life, love, family, community and our collective humanity.

This spring, we're also redefining all-you-can-eat seafood with a first-class, chef-driven experience—not just another buffet. Inspired by Las Vegas high-stakes indulgence and Louisiana’s bold flavors and festive traditions, we launched the only extravagant AYCE seafood feast in the DMV, where every dish is made to order with the fresh, premium seafood.

Founded from a love of Louisiana seafood boils, Southern hospitality, and the grandeur of a Vegas high-stakes experience, CT brings that same energy, celebration, and indulgence to your dining table. Our Royal tier offers unlimited Whole Live Lobsters, King Crab, Bone-In Ribeyes, Australian King Prawns, and Hokkaido Scallops—an AYCE feast like no other!

Japanese

Penn Quarter

About the restaurant

Umaya, where East meets West in a plethora of Japanese inspired small & large dishes. We focus on drawing from the simplicity of flavor in fresh ingredients, while giving it a Western flair. Specializing on the popular Japanese ‘street food’ - think small 'tapas' style dishes that are easy to share amongst friends & family. Our Izakaya grill features a one of a kind charcoal brick that is imported from Japan & allows for the natural flavors of the proteins & vegetables to radiate.

Umaya elevates the typical 'beer garden' concept with hard-to-find Asian dishes. Our menu promotes friends, coworkers, family to enjoy their time together. We carry a wide array of Asian beer, sake & Japanese Whiskey, complimenting the tranquility of the restaurant. The menu will feature seasonal highlights; however, the time-honored staples will always be available. ‘Umaya’ directly translates to a ‘place that tastes good’ in Japanese; it is a place where you can go
