Japanese Restaurants near Camp Springs

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“Their Tiger Roll is by far the best shrimp tempura roll I’ve ever had. So good I ate it twice in one day and I don’t live right around the corner either. Plus their prices are awesome, especially when calling in to pickup rather than using a delivery service. I’m kicking myself for just now knowing how great this place is for as long as I’ve been in the area.“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“Red Bowl Hibachi & Chicken is a solid, casual spot with flavorful, well-cooked food. The hibachi dishes are generous and cooked right in front of you, making it fun and fresh, and the chicken and other proteins are seasoned perfectly. Portions are hearty, the service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly. It’s a reliable choice for a satisfying, casual meal, and I’d definitely go back.“

“I love hole-in-the-walls, and it's rare you find a reasonably priced non-chain restaurant this close to the mall. And filling too!

Tucked down 2nd St NW, in an unassuming townhouse behind the Department of Labor, this is a cosy spot to dine-in. Unpretentious, this atmosphere is inviting to solo dinners. I had my eye on it for a while when working nearby, and am glad I got the chance to stop by. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

Had the vegetable bibimbap, but the boxes looked just as good. Will bring a friend next time to split.“

“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!“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“A favorite neighborhood spot“

“This is a cozy spot with about 10 tables, so it feels intimate and welcoming. Even though it's small, the service is absolutely excellent; the staff is attentive and friendly. The food is delicious, and the bowl portions are very generous and satisfying. The prices are also very fair. I noticed that many customers choose to order for takeout, which seems to be a very popular option. What I loved most was the outstanding service from the staff. Highly recommended!“

“Very Nice atmosphere customer service was great and the food was superb“

“Great food and excellent service.“

“on point!! don't shy away from the menu, everything we had was delicious.“

“Always good. Pleasant staff“

“Hands-down best ramen I have ever had.“

“The Food Is Outstanding. I Never Had Fast Cooked Hibachi Like This. Today Is My Second Day In A Row Coming In Here For Some Food And I’m Very Pleased With The Food. It’s Not Expensive. Very Affordable and A Great Amount Of Food For The Cost. I Got 3 meals For $50 In My Eyes That’s Great.“

“Nothing less than phenomenal. Everything was hot, everything was fresh, and everything tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back whenever in the area. Fairly priced as well...can't beat that.“

“First of all - I absolutely love the sushi here. It’s one of the best spots in Old Town. Super fresh fish and creative rolls. The miso soup and salad are always great too. And don’t skip on the appetizers - gyoza, shumai and hamachi Kama are so so good. However, the service is always a little slow and the vibe/decor is just kinda eh and just a little…cold? Not very warm/welcoming. I stick to takeout usually and again, the sushi is top notch.“

“The pork shoulder, eggplant and harissa sweet potato fries were all fantastic-knocked out of the park. Great seasoning on all. My girlfriend doesn't usually like sweet potato fries and would have probably liked a second order. Really nice quiet ambience and great service.“

“Just amazing. You can see why they are Michelin. We sat at the counter and had the complete experience. We felt like we were the only two in the restaurant and learned so much about each carefully curated delicious dish. They spared no expense and cut no corners. Exquisite.“

“Absolutely a vibe, you pay a premium for the beautiful surroundings and being at the waterfront, very cozy and small tables as a 6 foot one adult it felt a bit tight and restricted, but I think that's what they're going forward to give it a trendy or more chic feel either“

“Enjoyed delicious sushi and curry coconut udon! The service was great and the atmosphere perfect!“

“Legit Japanese food. I’ve visited 6 cities in Japan and this is exactly the type of food I’ve had there. 🍱 🍜 🍣“

“Delicious food and very friendly services. Been there many times.“

“I’ve tried this place twice now and everytime the food taste fresh, customer service is good and food comes out fast. My 5 year old picky eater loved the food also, so it’s my go to spot now. Reasonable price too & you get a big tray of food!

I only will eat from this location. All the others do not taste like this one. Love this spot!“

“Everyone was so sweet/ they knew we were celebrating both our friends birthday and our anniversary and they made sure to acknowledged that and even gave us cards and glasses of champagne. The food was amazing- each dish had depth of flavor and tasted fantastic. We greatly appreciated all the extra touches and loved being able to see Kyle who was our sons college roommate and still one of his best friends“

“This place is just amazing!The food was delightful, and I am so exited to come back!The outdoor decor is also super cute!The menus also fold in an interesting way that I've never seen.-Freyja, 10 years old(P.s. my family agrees with my and said that the shrimp is good)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sakura Express was absolutely amazing!
The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was kind, quick, and made the experience even better. Whether you’re craving sushi, hibachi, or a quick bite of something delicious—this place hits the spot every time.
Highly recommend! 🍣🍱🔥

My only complaint is that when my glucose level dropped very low, I asked for a cup so I could get some ice and drink something to raise my sugar. Unfortunately, I never received the cup. As someone living with diabetes, this was not only disappointing but also concerning, since timely support in those moments is very important. I truly hope this can be improved for the safety and care of future guests.”“

“GREAT value— 50% off sushi after 7pm (from $10.5 to $5.25)!!! The tuna and salmon avocado rolls are delish and $10.5 or 50% off before closing (if there are any left).
The stickers are SUPER CUTE and $1 each!

They also offer great drinks (craft yuzu soda, topo chico, boba tea etc.)

♿️ Union Market’s entrance is accessible, but tables are mostly high top (low tables by the window and outside) and the aisles are crowded most of the day. Also good lighting. Very loud.

“It was a pleasant experience, the atmosphere was nice and welcoming.

The host / waiter were super friendly, super nice which made my experience even better. Thank you Nancy

The restaurant was tidy and clean 9/10.

Talking about the food: I ordered,

● Fresh shrimp summerroll: it was fresh and done the right way, and the peanut sauce was good.
● Chiken spring roll: was crispy and not greasyat all, I did not like the souce that comeswith it (you need to make a new soice please).
● Dumpling: I had netter, can be much better.
● Pho beef combination: was just perfectly done, the broth was flavorful so as a whole it was just delicious.

Food quality was great and fresh, survise was really good and fast.

Would I come back? Yes I would and Highly recommend it.“

“Have dined and ate alone and with colleges at Momo. Always fresh sushi and great service. On my rotation in Old Town Alexandria. Love it!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instant Favorite

Just had the BEST no pretense miso ramen I’ve had in years. The broth is rich, rustic, and deeply miso-forward. The pork is chunky and tender. The greens are unfussy and perfect. One sip and I was basically transported back to 1980s provincial Japan.

Fast, friendly service and true ramen-shop energy. For $15, I got nostalgia, comfort, and actual joy in a bowl.

I’ll be back. 🍜🔥😎“

“I watched a co-worker having what I referred to as "a food fantasy". They recommended this particular location for its service and food. My waze directed me to the location which is adjacent to the JCPENNEY parking lot in a strip with 2 other businesses.I arrived midday and was welcomed by a pleasant woman near the door. Within 5-10 minutes my meal was prepared which was a combo of teriyaki chicken and shrimp with veggies, noodles, green onions, sesame seeds and extra sauce.The staff was very pleasant and appeared to work well together as a team. The portions were generous and I would definitely eat there again. After I got home I too had "a food fantasy". My vegetables were perfectly cooked, not hard or overcooked. The meats were tender, fresh and flavorable.I have since eaten at two other locations and have come back to this one for a new combo. This time I added steak and the next time I will add salmon which came highly recommended by many people.I would definitely recommend this location, the service and the food options.

Parking: In front of the business are several parking spaces. The overflow lot of JCPENNEY is available as well.“

“Absolutely incredible sushi, great service, and very cozy, intimate atmosphere that I don't think can be beat.

Every preparation was outstanding and a good mix of traditional and modern, each playing to the strengths of the fish.

My only regret is not ordering more when offered. I'm very much looking forward to the next time I can visit.“

“The food is excellent and fast. Appreciate the hospitality a lot we’re good food.“

“EXCELLENCE“

“We have enjoyed several lunches here and have always felt satisfied. The quality is top-tier and great service.“
