There are no words to express how much i love this place. Hole in the wall vibes but some of the best and most reasonably priced sushi around

I'm celebrating my girlfriend's birthday and I think this is one of the best sushi we've ever eaten in our life. The price is quite reasonable and we ended up feeling satisfied, happy and without any financial problems.

They close in the middle of the day but still take orders, so was a little apprehensive when I got there. But overall everything was great and the lady who works there was nice and reassuring. Food was good too.
Great little sushi spot! Food was delicious and service was above and beyond. I’ll be coming back many times for sure.

This place is the cutest little restaurant. This is definitely the best ever bento box I’ve had, can’t recommend this place enough. Sushi was amazing as well. The cutest lady would always greet us the same when we came in. The prices are sooo reasonable for DC. 10/10, miss this place so much <3

I have walked by this place for 10 years. The food was beautifully prepared and gracefully served. I will be back! It's my new sushi favorite.

This was my first time visiting Torso Sushi, as I had placed a pre-order for pickup. When I arrived, I was informed that my order had been ready earlier but was just being prepared as I got there, so I had to wait. I didn’t mind waiting, but what happened next left me feeling uncomfortable.
While waiting, I asked the staff member at the front if I could use their restroom. The response was a very flat "no," without any explanation. Normally, I would expect to hear something like "It’s for paying customers only" or "It’s out of order," but there was nothing. The refusal felt personal, and as a first-time customer, it made me feel unwelcome in the restaurant.
I understand that sometimes people might react to others based on assumptions or how someone may resemble another person, but that doesn’t justify treating people unfairly. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, especially first-time customers.
I stepped outside to wait because I didn’t feel comfortable staying inside after that interaction. When I returned, my order was ready, and I just grabbed it and left.
Overall, my first experience at Torso Sushi wasn’t very positive. I hope the staff can be more courteous and offer explanations when declining a request, as it would make the place feel more welcoming to all customers.

To-go sushi combo. Minus 1 star for no utensils or chopsticks, and minus 1 star for value for cost.

We came for lunch and everything was fresh and delicious! We got 2 of the lunch specials. We’ll be back?
Of note- all of our nigiri had a little bit of wasabi between the fish and rice. It wasn’t a problem for us and was yummy. However, if you don’t like wasabi, maybe mention it to them.
Thanks for a yummy lunch!

We love it here. Classic neighborhood sushi spot. Good prices and only reason for four stars on service is they get really busy with takeout orders so sit down service can be a little slow.

This place was like walking right back into any little establishment in the middle of Tokyo. LOVED IT. Fresh sushi, great price, great service, and delish. I can’t stop thinking about it, I’m mad my husband won’t let me go back tonight because he’s “not in the mood for sushi”. Nuts.

Best sushi experience in the DMV that I’ve had thus far and that includes Michelin star restaurants. The fish is extremely fresh and delicious. The price is very reasonable and the staff is warm and welcoming. I can’t say enough good things about Torai as it’s my favorite take out spot in the area.
