Le Kon - Arlington

"Top Chef" alum Katsuji Tanabe is behind Le Kon, which serves up Sonora-style steaks cooked in a 1,800-degree oven and sprinkled generously with Mexican umami dust.

What's "Sonora-style," you ask? It's simple cooking with simple ingredients as executed in Sonoma, a region in Mexico that shares a border with Arizona. At Le Kon, guests are first indulged with chef-driven appetizers like smoked hamachi ceviche, crab guacamole, and mussels in coconut and beer broth.

Steak offerings are plentiful at Le Kon, and each is finished with high-quality American butter. Choices include hand-cut filet, Porterhouse for two and a 32-ounce Tomahawk.

Brunch dishes range from no-carb chilaquiles and churro French toast to adobo fried rice made with crispy pork belly, fried eggs and kimchi.

Early days here. They are still working on their happy hour deals, so don't expect them yet. Decent space, more to come. Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz

I really enjoy this place and have been twice. Both times the service was great, the food was fresh and delicious and served quickly. Our server was incredibly professional and attentive. Margaritas were tasty, too. I highly recommend this place and wish its location was more easily seen, as I think it would help with its exposure to the Clarendon crowd.

The food was quite tasty. The space is huge though so there was not much atmosphere. Very few patrons. Would probably do well in a better location and smaller footprint.

Went for dinner and happy hour. The fajitas were some of the best I've had and the cocktails were tastefully strong. I ordered their spicey tequila cocktail (I don't remember the name) and the waiter even brought me out some hot sauce that was off the menu since he knew I like spicey. Great service and good food.

Been twice. Once for lunch and again for happy hour. The food is quite good. The service is great. I hope to come back for dinner.

I was pretty skeptical about this place since I don't think most people can pull off fusion food. But, I was genuinely surprised how good this place is. I came here with no expectations but left wanting to come back and keep telling all my friends about it. We got the Nachos Carnitas, Shrimp al Ajillo, Halal Chicken al Pastor Pa' Taquear, and Brussels sprouts. My favorite was the nachos, shrimp, and Brussels sprouts. The nachos are amazing, you have to try the nachos, it was huge, big flavors, and something totally new and un-expecting. The meat dances in your mouth. The Shrimp was garlic, full of flavor, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. I think this shrimp & grits was better than the one at the African Museum. The brussel sprouts were very different, but the flavors mixed really well together. Overall, Solid mexican food, but the food is solid five stars.

First off - great happy hour. Really extensive cocktail, beer and wine list and it goes until 8. Also some very filling food choices, like the nachos. The food, while good, seemed to fall a little short (although our expectations were super high given it's a Katsuji place). The chopped salad was ehh, nachos we're great, and tuna tostada was very fresh. The sides I've had (cauliflower w capers) were the best thing I've ordered. Will definitely be back though

This place is great. We were looking for somewhere with a happy hour and this place has one from 3-8. The drink specials were great and the happy hour food selection was delicious. Will definitely go back. Would love to try dinner.

What a great addition to the neighborhood! Just had our second visit (the first being for friends and family, the second just after they opened) and will be making a reservation for a third shortly. It's going to be hard to choose favorite dishes -- but there are some not to be missed: Steak tartare Tuna tostada Charred octopus Arroz fritto Charred corn (seriously, order this first and order it twice) Tempura salmon tacos And the churros (although all of the desserts were great) And that's only two visits. Definitely worth making a reservation or just stopping by and checking them out. Looking forward to visit #3!
