Local Japanese eatery Conbini Café by UZU is going on the road. Conbini Café will say goodbye to its tiny counter and tables nestled in the back of Shopkeepers Gallery (1231 Florida Avenue NE) on Saturday, July 15th. After this time you'll be able to find Conbini by UZU popping up all around the District and the surrounding suburbs. You still have time to catch them at their current home, and it's well worth your time to do so if you haven't visited before.

Sorry to see it go. Just discovered it a few weeks ago. I loved it. But, I'll try to visit the pop-ups. How to find out about them though.

That first link will take you to their Twitter account. They post info about events there and on Instagram.
Oh no! Why are they leaving? I really liked it too.
Conbini was great. Best of luck to Chef Hiro and his future endeavors. Really enjoyed the okonomyaki. Any idea on what's replacing them?
Combini is great! I'm sad to see them leave but wish them well!
It looks like Vendetta is closed too, sad day.
vendetta is closed for good.

Washingtonian has the scoop on what's coming to Shopkeepers next. Apparently it's Ðôi Ðũa, which has held some pop ups there. Definitely a worthy follow-up to Conbini by UZU.
12:48 & 4:00,
I heard that Vendetta recently sold. I'm not sure what the new owners might have planned.
i guess this is no longer valid - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2016/01/13/h-streets-vendetta-is-swapping-bocce-courts-for-brewing-equipment/?utm_term=.b54089865e60
Good riddance to vendetta. Bad food, service and a lack of direction. Hopefully the new owners put in something better and with a more modern appeal rather than another sports bar.
scuttlebutt says it's becoming a huge bear bar, where it is bear night every night. Think Roar but 5x larger.
