The sushi itself was mediocre. Went at 6:30 pm and were the only people in the restaurant. The biggest issue is the entire place smelled like the fish section of a pet store. It was nauseating and concerning that a place serving me raw fish smelled so bad.

Excellent place for authentic Japanese sushi. The nigiri and sashimi was delicious. They also have some more American style maki but we didn’t try them this time. They were a little short staffed but made sure we had everything we need and were very friendly.

Incredible sushi, properly done Japanese-style nigiri, sashimi, and a great omakase. They even have a pufferfish course.

We were walking by after our meeting at the White House and decided sushi sounded good! This little place had no wait at 7 pm so we decided it was a good place to decompress.The menu was reasonably priced for the sashimi platters and well below what we pay in Hawai'i for sushi rolls. Nice and fresh and really well prepared.The staff was amazing accommodating and put up with us staying a few minutes after closing.The hot tea and miso soup was absolutely integral to defrosting after the rain and wind!
The food was good and there was a good selection of sake. The service was excellent (even though they only had two staff doing both table waiting and sushi making).I wish there was more roll selection/variety and an option for larger boats/platters - we had to order mostly piecemeal.Very expensive restaurant.
My wife and I went here while on vacation in DC and it was excellent. Great sushi, nice beer, good ambience (not deathly quite nor overwhelmingly loud i.e. able to converse and be comfortable) and the service was excellent. Highly recommend. Will return once we are back in DC. Hopefully soon. Great town, too.
Sashimi was incredible. Chic and relaxing atmosphere. Perfect location and prices are unbeatable.

Worst sushi and chirashi ever and they charge a premium on these food. Don’t get fooled

I would like to start with a disclaimer that you can spend a lot of money at this restaurant, however there is still plenty to enjoy on a budget! Whether you’re coming for a party, casual lunch or a special occasion you will leave Sushi Gakyu feeling appreciative of the friendly staff and their great services to the customers.This was my experience when I went with a few friends to the closest food spot we could find that was also interesting. Their drink selection was plentiful and diverse for all of the right reasons. You want a reasonably priced cocktail or beer? No problem! You want something more fancy and/or to share with the table? No problem! The same applies with their food menu. I was able to get a miso soup and chefs choice of sushi roll for a really affordable price, but looking on their menu they offer some premium dishes. If it wasn’t for the distance I’d love to get some friends together and fully experience a majority of their menu together!Also the restaurant was very clean and had an awesome atmosphere!
