I ordered the Ka Praw with Chicken and it was really good. I also got a Thai tea, which was delicious and paired perfectly with my meal. The service was great as well. It was an extremely hot day, and they were very attentive about keeping my water glass filled, which I really appreciated.

Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. I love Thai food, and this spot did not disappoint.“

“I chose Akeno Sushi to celebrate my bachelorette weekend, and I couldn’t have made a better choice! It’s my absolute favorite restaurant in DC, and this experience just confirmed why it’s one of my top spots. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly warm, accommodating, and genuinely thrilled to help us celebrate. Nadia, in particular, was a joy to work with and supported me every step of the way in planning. The food was phenomenal, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, featuring thoughtful details like fresh flowers that added a special touch to the celebration. The ambiance was perfect, with lovely decorations that made the night feel even more festive. Whether you’re planning a special event, a casual dinner, or a date night, Akeno Sushi is versatile, delicious, and always delivers a memorable experience. I highly recommend it!“

“Very good Thai food! The waiters were very patient and considerate. Dining was very smooth experience. The food was well prepared especially the soups and fried rice. I highly recommend anyone around DC area to give this restaurant a worthy try.“

“Super good experience! Friendly staff, great food, good portions! Highly recommend the crab rangoons- the most stuffed rangoons I’ve have in a while! The wonton they use is so thin as well, really accentuating the filling and making for a light and crispy bite! The pineapple fried rice is delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness. I got the veggie version- large portion and lots of veggies throughout! Will definitely be back!“

“The best Thai restaurant in the East Coast. Worth every second of my visit to DC. I’ll be back next year with my wife. And order the same thing: shrimp rice with pineapple and cashews (Khao Pad Sapparod). And for dessert: ginger ice cream. Service was awesome as well.“

“Moo Toon noodle soup was so rich. Savory broth with melt-in-mouth pork. Noodles had perfect texture and bounce. Truly comforting and flavorful!“

“Incredible food. Incredible experience.

10/10 would go again!
Enjoyed the mango curry and basil fried rice. Flavor was great. Incredible consistency for a place that has been open close to 20 years!

Loved everything.“

“Lots of hype about this place. I made a reservation and they emailed, texted, and called the day of to confirm. The best dish was the slow cooked ribs. In the photo, they are hidden under the greens. The drink with mango is also delish. The pandan in the drink is not overwhelming. I recommend it. The rice with pork also a nice version of “sticky” rice. Everything is a blur.“

“Great place to dine with friends and family ❤️“

“Blind customer: if you catch a Uber, ask the driver to let you off in the parking lot just to the left of the entrance. There are 2 to 3 stairs going up with the entrance to your immediate left. Once inside walk straight ahead to the counter. They’re seating for dine in to your left and right. I’ve been eating at this restaurant since 2013. The food is excellent! The family is very kind! I highly recommend this place to anyone.“
