Formerly Himitsu, which was named to Bon Appetit's 50 New Best Restaurants in America a couple of year ago, this rebranded restaurant features a new menu that owner Carlie Steiner describes as “multi-cuisine,” a description that embraces the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema summarizes "Pom Pom is not Himitsu. It’s different, delicious — definitely marching to its own drummer."
