“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!“

“We were visiting from California and were meeting up with some friends that were also visiting and we wanted to meet up for a good dinner.
So we found this place on yelp and we were not disappointed, the hospitality was amazing. We were a party of 8 and they were so accommodating. The food was great and so was the atmosphere. I would definitely come back whenever I am back in DC.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Chef Kitima Boonmala has a gift! Her Thai creations are nothing short of extraordinary. Boat noodle soup, white curry, whole dish, Khao soi, duck confit. Everything was divine. The sushi chef's creations are also noteworthy. Ingredients are very thoughtfully sourced. Some of the best sushi I've had. And they have a delicious + sophisticated selection of mocktails which is refreshing to experience. Can't wait to go back!“

“Super friendly staff, nice environment, and very delicious and fresh food! Best Thai food we have ever had! Thank you, Jen and Aud for the hospitality!“

“I could eat Thai food every day for the rest of my life. To that end, we try to visit all Thai restaurants in D.C. Located in the development near the Home Depot, we walked into Thai Station as a party of four on a Sunday around noon. We were the only people inside dining the entire time. Here's our experience.

1) Food: They have a lunch meal deal for $16.95 that comes with a drink, app, and entree. I ordered Thai Iced Tea, Chicken Gyoza, and Spicy Basil Fried Rice. Everything was tasty and the fried rice spicy! The gyoza come in a trio. The Thai iced tea was balanced and oddly tasted like a Kit Kat bar.

2) Service: It was attentive from start to finish. Our water glasses were kept full.

3) Area: There's street parking right out front or you can park in the massive lot by Home Depot and walk down.“

“Great service, very good lunch specials!“

“Yes, this restaurant is highly recommended for a casual dining experience.“

“Best food ever and best Bartender ever!!“
