If you like Korean food I have to imagine there is better out there in the DC area. There sure is in Chicago.

Right you are about better Korean existing in DC. I've been told (unsubstantiated) that the DC metro area has the 2nd largest Korean population in the US. Unfortunately the area with the excellent Korean restaurants (Annandale) is not metro accessible or walkable from Pentagon City. I'm happy to recommend better places if you are interested.

Metro to Foggy Bottom (three stops on the blue line from the Pentagon City
station) for both of these.

Two excellent Japanese places are Sushi Taro (mentioned above) on 17th & P above the CVS, and Sushi-Ko, on Wisconsin 100yds down from Calvert. Sushi-Ko is pricey, but serves excellent quality food... (incidentally, I've seen Rumsfeld there twice...)

It's been several years since I've been in DC, but based on prior trips:
For Steaks, Sam & Harry's (Downtown)
For Italian, I always had good experiences at Donotello's (despite its relatively low prices), but I don't see it listed, so it may have closed or changed.
For Cajun, 219 in Alexandria
For German, Cafe Mozart

A few echoed choices...
Vidalia - great and original cuisine, good wine list, nice setting.
Citonellel - delicious but a bit on the pricey side
Smith & Wollensky - great steaks and fish - nice outdoor seating
Dupont circle has a plethora of choices on CT ave.

Mykonos -- Greek. In Rockville. You can get there on the Red Line to Shady Grove. I think the closest stop is White Flint or Twinbrook.
In Georgetown. Zeb's Ethiopian food. A real dining adventure. You'd probably need to take a taxi. It's quite a walk from Foggy Bottom.
