Nightlife impresario Mauricio Fraga-Rosenfeld (Maté, Gua-Rapo, Ceviche) has finally opened his long-awaited resto-lounge Yaku in Arlington’s Courthouse neighborhood, providing a sophisticated backdrop for chifa – Peruvian-Chinese fusion cuisine – served both as 'dim sum'; (e.g. chicken-and-quinoa won tons with spicy sweet and sour sauce) and moderately priced entrees like Peruvian-flavored fried rice; seating options include divans and tables, and the sleek lines and neutral tones of the lofty, big-windowed space help set off colorful portraits of notable Incans; N.B. a DJ spins house music after 10 PM.
