“Love this new addition to Bethesda! Every Japanese restaurant has a different take on the “classics” and its own specials, and we’ve enjoyed everything from Takumi. Special appreciation for the vegan options, because they are definitely not universally available.“

“5 stars - Have loved Tako for years! I miss the grill but the food is consistently tasty and presented beautifully.“

“This is literally the best Japanese restaurant. They have the best shrimp shuma. The service and atmosphere is awesome too! Little pricey but totally worth every penny. Awesome place in DC if you're looking for some authentic Japanese food! 💖“

“If you want to impress and delight your guests, or just have an amazing meal at home with your family, this is the place. Beautiful, delicious sushi platters lovingly created by a perfectionist. Take-out only. We’ve relied on Kanpai Sushi for special occasions for many years. You won’t be disappointed.“

“It is a good place to eat and have fun.“

“Baffled that anyone could write a bad review about this place! The entire staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are totally reasonable. I placed a carry out order 3 days ago, and I just placed another order today. I absolutely love the crunchy spicy tuna and crunchy california roll. I've also ordered the shrimp shu mai and pork dumplings, all fantastic. I live across the street and will absolutely be coming back regularly.“

“Not first time eating at this place. Food was amazing and delicious. Service was great 2 people working fast. I waited for my order like 5 minutes. Regular rolls were great. First time trying the Hawaii Bowl and it was amazing ? if you trying get full definitely recommend it.“

“I discovered this restaurant after getting my lashes done at Evalash and decided to give it a try since it’s relatively new. I’m so glad I did! I ordered the spicy kimchee fried rice to go and enjoyed some spring rolls and wine while I waited. The spring rolls came out quickly, were perfectly crisp, and absolutely delicious — I wish I’d ordered extra to take home! But the real standout was the fried rice. Packed with flavor, the kimchee was just right, and the pork belly I chose as my protein made it even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Back to the scene of Lan’s and my first date!“
