“As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I genuinely want to see this place succeed. I would love to see it attract at least half the traffic that Chipotle gets! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner during the winter storm when this was one of the only places open, and I've loved the food ever since. That's why it's disappointing to say that the customer service from the staff really needs improvement. When I walked in, there was no greeting, no welcome, and when I left, not even a goodbye. Hospitality was practically nonexistent. I understand this is a ramen place where customers can place their orders using tablets, but when the restaurant is completely empty, you would still expect the staff to show some energy, friendliness, and basic hospitality. As someone who manages more than 20 employees myself, I understand how difficult it can be to find and retain good people. However, I genuinely feel for the owners who invest their hard-earned money into a business only to have the customer experience let down by employees who seem completely disengaged. As for the food, it was decent this time, but unfortunately, the noodles were noticeably cold. I'm leaving 4 stars because I believe in the potential of this place and genuinely want to see it succeed. My advice to the owners would be to spend more time at this location, pay closer attention to the staff and overall customer experience, and make sure the hospitality matches the quality and potential of the food. I hope to see this place become a neighborhood favorite!”

“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!”

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.”

“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!”

“Sushi Hachi is the best sushi restaurant I have ever been to; it was so good that my boyfriend and I went back two nights in a row. Their cocktails are great, and my personal favourite was the 8th street specialty sushi. The atmosphere and mood is calm and pleasant, and the staff and service is top notch. I have to mention our waitress too from the second time, Soko. She remembered us from the previous night, she even remembered which drink she had made me! And she took the time to make some recommendations for us, and brought us some miso on the house and was just the most pleasant and friendly waitress I have had in a while. Thank you!!! We will definitely be back again for as long as we are in/near DC.”

“I ordered the pork katsu curry and it was perfect. The katsu was crisped just right—golden and crunchy on the outside while still tender inside. The curry itself was thick and savory with a deep, comforting flavor, and it had plenty of pork pieces, which made it feel really filling. The rice balanced everything out perfectly and soaked up the sauce so well. The place was pretty busy, but we got lucky and found a table. It’s clearly popular, and after eating here, it makes sense why. Despite the crowd, the staff was fast and efficient with getting food out, which I really appreciated. Service stood out too—everyone was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. One small detail I liked was the waitress complimenting my rose pink debit card, which just added a nice personal touch to the experience. Another bonus is the location—it’s right under a Japanese grocery store, which makes it super convenient if you want to grab anything before or after your meal. Overall, it’s definitely worth the price. Great food, solid portions, and excellent service. I’d absolutely come back and would recommend it to anyone who loves authentic Japanese food.”

“Discovered this place by accident while on the Crescent trail, and oh my what a happy coincidence. This is by far (!) the best sushi that I’ve had so far in DC: the rice is well cooked and seasoned, it sticks well to the sushi but at the same time is spread very thinly (a hallmark of a good place), and the rolls are so full of filling that they look like they’re bursting. The fish is fresh and flavourful. The price is more than reasonable (around 12 to 15 dollars for a dish). The owner/cook is obviously extremely competent and very fast in preparing your order. Fantastic place, I have to come back here as soon as I can.”

All 4 sushi rolls were great, Wagyu beef fried rice: AMAZING, and also had 2 different Sakes that were delicious. The inside of the restaurant is my dream decor and you can’t even tell you’re in a mall. Our waiter was so helpful and nice and the owner/manager of the restaurant came to talk to us and told us that not many people know they are there. Please visit this place so it can stay open and I can keep going back!”

“I stumbled upon this restaurant after shopping at Wegman’s and was intrigued because it brought back fond memories of a solo trip I took to Japan a couple of years ago. So, I knew I had a lunch meeting with an old friend and scheduled a reservation. While there in my haste and attentive to all the good news she was sharing, I failed to write a review during this visit. But, on this visit everything ordered was delicious. But another opportunity came around today and I made it a point to not miss the opportunity again. We were greeted again by “Helen” who was one of the nicest people you would want to meet. I would not expect less from the culture. We sat inside at a window facing outside. It was an old friend from childhood (6 years old) celebrating her birthday because she too was intrigued by the food since she had never eaten any. We started off as a starter with the Shinwa Chicken Wings; perfectly cooked, seasoned, and glazed to perfection. Then she ordered the Shinwa Stir Fry Udon Delight and I ordered the Sesame Chicken Lunch Bento. We were so full after eating because everything was absolutely delicious. I told her that she had to get a dessert because it was her birthday and that I could assist her in eating it. I happened to mention to Helen that it was her birthday, and she came out with a surprise of the following: Chocolate Souffle, Matcha Ice Cream, and Mochi with a lit candle on it. We both looked at each other and dug in; it was the right thing to do, don’t judge. For two people who said they were filled when Helen came to get the dessert plates, they were clean. So, if you are in the area, as I say make your way Shinwa Izakaya. The atmosphere is beautiful and so calming along with wonderful service. You will be glad you did.”

“Bento Box was a little different than I’m used to. I ordered the salmon sushi box and it came with three salmon sushi. I guess you could call it that they were cooked on top then with a drizzle of wasabi dressing. The tempura was two pieces of an egg plant and two pieces of potato. The miso soup was, I guess dark red miso because it tasted rather strange to me, but I couldn’t decide if it was dark red miso so or salty beef lol.”

I will certainly be back soon! Highly recommend!”

It brought back that familiar, comforting taste I’ve loved since my childhood. ❤ The flavors were exactly what I had been craving. The only thing that bothered me was that they don’t have a restroom.

It was so much fun, there were so many good flavors and interesting things to try. I normally don’t love Uni, but the Uni I had there was delicious. All of the nigiri was so so good too. The staff were incredibly nice and accommodating, helping answer any of the questions we had about the food or sake. We had some delicious sake and Japanese whisky. Slightly pricy, but well worth it for a nice occasion. We loved it and definitely want to return”
