About Onkei at Western Market

Onkei, located within Western Market on the GW campus, provides a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant's salmon sashimi and shrimp shumai are highly praised for their quality and taste. Customers especially enjoy the salmon donburi, which comes with miso soup, pickled radish, ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce. The food is very filling and offers great portions, often leaving leftovers. The sashimi sushi deluxe is beautifully presented with a nice variety, and the chicken katsu bento box is crispy and plentiful with lots of chicken katsu. Edamame is simple and good, and more reasonably priced than at other places. Although the prices are on the higher side, the fresh and thick cuts of salmon make it a good value. The staff makes the visit smooth, and the atmosphere is nice with various tables nearby and bar seating. The market's clean restrooms add to the overall pleasant experience. While the restaurant may have some wait during busy hours, the ample seating in the food court provides a comfortable setting. The location is convenient and inside a "mall," with simple but clean surroundings. The chef, known for his skill, is willing to prepare special requests like torched salmon. Accessibility is available via elevators and open space, although the door is not ADA friendly.
