This restaurant is exceptional. I’ve been twice this month and can’t wait to come back. My boyfriend loved the Onyx roll, calling it the best roll he’s ever had. My favorite was the Peridot roll. Lychee Geisha cocktail also delicious.

We came here on new Year's Eve from out of town. We came based on reviews. Overall the food is just ok, not the best and not the worst. You'll probably be disappointed if you're having a sushi craving and you've experienced very high quality sushi in the past. The service was very good, polite and friendly. Unfortunately, I will not be back.
For the price I'm really disappointed at the quality and taste. Ordered 3 maki rolls. Rolls were not neat. Rice had way too much vinegar such that I couldn't really taste anything else in the roll. The fish I could taste did not seem exceptional to be priced that way.
The many generic local sushi joints I've visited in my life with $6-8 maki rolls have all been *significantly* better.
Ordered take out so only got a quick look at the restaurant but it seemed to have a nice ambiance. Order was ready earlier than expected, front desk was friendly!

There was an off putting odor when we arrived. Wasn’t crazy about the Fumet, extremely fishy, the rolls were okay, our favorite was the Onyx.

Got a bento for lunch and received so much food. They were quick and friendly. Will be back to try happy hour!
This review is for the Raw Omakase upstairs. It was fantastic. We visited just weeks after it opened and took a chance because of the few reviews. The vibes were curated beautifully. There was excellent music, lighting, and a comforting atmosphere. The sake pairings are exciting and complimentary. We eat a lot of sushi and omakase. Here, we were served some of the best rice and freshest fish we’ve had. The experience reflected Chef Johnny’s top-tier training juxtaposed by an endearing authenticity. I believe this sushi counter will be a heavyweight in the DC omakase/fine dining scene because of the quality of the food and uniquely unpretentious approach.

My friends and I went one evening trying out different Japanese foods and was a little disappointed with this restaurant. The waitress asked us about which water we would like (spring or tap) and we had said spring. For water alone it costed us $15 which was a little upsetting. My friends both had curry which was mediocre at best, not enough curry/vegetables especially for the price; The Chicken and pork werent well seasoned either. Overall Its an okay restaurant but I wouldnt say worth how much money you would spend.

We went to Raw Omakase, which is upstairs in Takara 14. Our experience was simply fantastic! The sushi was fresh, delicious and well prepared. The sushi chef and sommelier were both engaging and knowledgeable, and made the evening very enjoyable. We enjoyed the 17 course meal with an excellent pairing. I highly recommend Raw Omakase and will surely return.

Great find while walking past. The food was reminiscent of many nights in Tokyo - authentic flavors, good portion sizes and served beautifully. The ambiance was just right, and the staff were all very friendly, always had seemingly genuine smiles and quite efficient.
Great place for lunch, highly reccomend the eel doburi.
