The long-anticipated Japanese food hall Love, Makoto is opening on Tuesday, in D.C.’s East End near Chinatown. Owned by internationally renowned Japanese chef Makoto Okuwa, the food hall will feature fine Japanese dining – think sushi and wagyu – as well as more casual Japanese fare and a bakery.

Okuwa was 15 when he started working as an apprentice in the restaurant industry of his hometown Nagoya but he launched his American career in D.C. as a chef at Sushi Taro. Okuwa left Sushi Taro in the 2000s and has since been operating restaurants from coast to coast, including opening his own establishments in Manhattan Beach, California and Bal Harbor, Florida.

“I’m so excited to return to Washington, D.C., to show this city where I have been since we parted, and how those journeys have informed my perspective as a chef,” Okuwa said in a statement. “With so many ways to experience Love, Makoto, we hope our diners return again and again—always finding something new to love.”

Unlike other food halls, where different businesses lease space, the Love, Makoto team will operate all of the eateries in the 20,000 square foot space located at 200 Massachusetts Avenue. It’s a partnership with chef David Deshaies and Eric Eden, the owners of nearby Italian restaurant L’Ardente.

Tuesday is just the first phase of the opening; phase two is set for this summer and will feature even more options. For now, Love Makoto consists of three restaurants: Dear Sushi, Beloved BBQ, and Hiya Izakaya.

Dear Sushi will be omakase-style, a formal Japanese dining experience that literally translates into “I leave it up to you.” Appropriately, the chef decides your menu, depending on what’s available and in season. Dear Sushi isn’t entirely menu-less though, and diners can get a sense of what they may be eating here (items include Nakaochi tuna handrolls, sushi with Glory Bay salmon, Sakura snapper, or Akami bluefin). Prices start at $75.

Diners can also enjoy a yakiniku, or Japanese steakhouse, experience at Beloved BBQ. Here, diners can grill their own Wagyu or American beef at tables with smokeless grills. There’s some Korean influence on the menu too (side dishes include cucumber and napa kimchi, and a kimchi stew if you’re still hungry). Unlike at Dear Sushi, you have a little more control over what you want to eat and there are specific dishes on the menu you can order. Prices start at $85.

The third restaurant, Hiya Izakaya, is primarily a bar, featuring whiskey highballs, sake (of course), beer, wine, and other cocktails. You can order skewers and other small plates to enjoy with your drink.

While phase one leans towards fine dining, phase two will have more options for casual fare. It will include comfort foods such as ramen, udon, and Japanese curry, as well as a bakery selling donuts, bubble tea, and coffee.

Reservations for Dear Sushi and Beloved BBQ can be made via Resy. Love, Makoto is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 5 to 11 p.m.
