“My daughter and I went there today! The employees were very nice and friendly. The food was delicious and the place was nice and clean. This was our first time eating at a Ramen restaurant, the lady that took our order was very helpful. We will be back!!!!“

“Genuinely the best hibachi place I’ve had, better than other places similar AND even places where you sit down. The chili teriyaki is an amazing choice as well but gives a good kick! 1000% coming back (not paid or anything for this review, genuine person who saw them on Instagram and got curious/hungry!)“

“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!“

“The pictures are not up to to date and they have much less options now. There's no more poke bowls, dim sum, or sushi. Just rice/noodle bowls, and pho.

I got a fried rice bowl with teriyaki chicken, and it was very good. You get to pick that toppings, just like Chipotle. It's a weird choice, but I added potatoes to it, and they were SO good. Great favor, soft and with crispy skin.

The serving sizes are big and I couldn't finish. I was just a bit disappointed they didn't have poke bowls any more.“

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

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“This place was amazing on all levels! We walked in and it was a fantastic vibe. The service was the best I ever had, I don't think we had a dirty plate sit for longer than 30 seconds. I started with a cocktail - Where did all the rum go. If you like Tiki style drinks it's a must try. We had the Bulgarian Banista, Maine Scallop Crudo and Squash Quesadilla to start. They were all delish, but the Squash Quesadilla was my favorite. I had the Sea Bass for my entrée, the fish was amazing and the sauce - soooooo good! Ended with the Creme Brulee, which was perfect. The sugar topping was that glass like texture that is so fun to crack. If you are in DC you have to check this place out.“

“There is always someone cleaning the tables and the environment is SO clean and comfortable. Especially the service too, they are so nice and patient with customers. AND the FOOD, it is so DELICIOUS, the portion is really good, they also give out extra sauces without charging extra 😋😋“

“I absolutely love Qu! My boyfriend and I grab dinner from there at least once a week. We’ve tried the tonkoto miso, beef, and the shrimp ramen! All so flavorful and filling! The sushi tacos are also to die for. They always taste fresh as they are! Last by not least the customer service is great. They always speak, smile, and food is prepared quickly! You have to try!!! Some of the best Ramen ever, by far.“

“Fantastic find for us. Parking garage right behind restaurant. We started off with the Octupus puff balls and eggplant and shrimp appetizers. Then went with 3 fancy rolls. Everything was delicious and prepared perfectly. Great atmosphere and very clean. Staff was 5 stars.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.”“

“Me and a friend visited this place for the first time. The food was really great and we enjoyed it a lot. Although they should add boba or smoothies. Different drinks to the menu would be even better! I’d definitely come back if they had boba and that ramen is so good. Please addd boba if you’re the owner!! The best part is the broth after you finish the meat and veggies yall. So much flavor and smells amazing. Very clean place and even the bathrooms are clean. No hairs in food it was perfect!!“

“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)“

“I ordered pick up.. The food was soooòoo good. Definitely will be back“

“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!“

“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 absolutely love this place, I eat here in the regular my favorite fried dumplings and sushi, but I just think 1 ingredient is missing in the rice that makes it sticky because the Shushi falls apart and I have to eat it with a fork instead of chop sticks but IT'S DELICIOUS!!!!! I will continue to eat here until the end of time ??“

“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.

“This is only my third time coming here but each time gets better😭 I’ve lived here my whole life and only like salmon with cooked meat or cucumber rolls so I started making my own but now I get my maki combo with crunch and eel sauce and mind my business. Next time I’m getting roe added. This place is definitely a gem. The miso soup of good too. I tried the seaweed salad but it was too fishy for me (that may be a good thing to some). My mother loves this place too🥰“

“One of the restaurants inside the Stamp Student Union. Seating in common Stamp dining area. Great poke bowls. Consistently delicious.
Michelle is the sweetest! She deserves a raise!

Parking: It’s on UMD campus so look at umd website for parking details. I wouldn’t recommend driving here.“

“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)“

“Overall hard to beat. The family all like it, so for take out night it is easy. Massive portions, prepared at time of order. Consistent quality, and almost always good. Parking is easy, a bit hard to get to due to the other restaurants in front of it.
Service is quick“
