50 Best Sushi Bars near Riverdale Park

“Horu Sushi is the best sushi in a large radius, highly recommend to anyone who loves sushi. The eel roll is my current favorite. It’s the best vendor in Le Fantome Food Hall and we are so spoiled to have this level of taste in our neighborhood.

We also love their ramen which is legit

You can even go for happy hour at the bar and eat the sushi there with your drink!

“This is a great place to shop as a vegan. They have so many vegan products. They have so many delicious vegan options at their food bar too. I love how you can get a healthy vegan meal at a relatively decent price when on the go. They also have lots of vegan options in thier bakery like vegan muffins, scones, donuts, turnovers, and cookies. This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick meal.“

“Qunyh is the best! So helpful and kind, all her recommendations were absolutely fantastic. Her service was quick and the food wonderful. And with celiacs disease very knowledgeable of the menu

“Went there to celebrate my birthday. Sushi was very fresh and perfectly prepared. The slices were excellent, which made the fish delicate, tender and without too much dark pieces which have more fishy taste, no tendons/skin/muscle to make it difficult to chew. It was a delightful experience! The amount of different fish/seafood species was surprising. A special place to go to celebrate, if you love sushi. We paired it with a nice bottle of Italian Sparkling, which was an excellent recommendation by our server.“

“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.“

“Joko was absolutely amazing! Incredibly talented, funny, and engaging—he made the whole experience unforgettable. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Joko truly made this one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had!“

“Ninja Sushi should be packed on a Friday evening. The Japanese food they serve is healthy and delicious. Our waitress was exceptional served us a plate of crunchy crab on the house. The only disappointment was the seafood soup. We both enjoyed the salmon shrimp, tempura calamari, and sumptuous, creamy cheesecake. We were surprised at the amount of food we got for under $50. I highly recommend this unpretentious, family friendly restaurant in Colesville.“

“Our visit to Zeppelin was absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with the most exceptional hospitality by Ari and the rest of the staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant is truly one-of-a-kind, paying tribute to the Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships. But the real standout of our experience was the food. It was absolutely divine. We began our meal with the Edamame and Miso Soup, both of which were the perfect starters and set the stage for the rest of the meal. The Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Sunomono were also refreshing and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we decided to indulge in a variety of dishes from the KushiYaki (Japanese Charcoal Grill) menu. The Ebi Shumai and Beef Harumaki were both cooked to perfection, while the Takoyaki was a fun and tasty snack. But the standout dish was the Okonomiyaki, with its tempura, red ginger, okonomiyaki sauce, and mayo creating a truly unique and flavor-packed experience. From the sushi bar, we sampled a variety of rolls including the Negitoro Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Rainbow Roll. Each one was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced in flavor. We also tried the Sashimi Sampler, which was a fantastic way to try a range of different fish. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the Green Tea Ice Cream, which was the perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note. Our experience at Zeppelin was truly extraordinary! The food was delicious and the hospitality we received from Ari and the rest of the staff was top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly unique and memorable dining experience.“

“After driving over an hour away to meet an old friend and she canceled literally when I parked lol, I told myself I had a taste for sushi since I hadn’t had it in a while. Searched sushi in the area that this gem popped up.

I have to say it was a bit difficult to find. After walking around for about 15 minutes, I saw some men walk into a building and walk down some stairs so I decided to follow them. Only then did I find this place. That is really my only complaint, but not enough to take a star away.

It’s a cute, quaint little place and the sushi was absolutely amazing. Their miso soup was also really good ! 10/10 recommend if you’re in the area!“

“It's good. Go there...“

“Love this place immensely. Service was top notch and food is SO GOOD. I got the spicy salmon roll and the Ninja Turtle specialty roll and neither disappointed. Probably the best spicy salmon roll i’ve had, ever. Period hands down, no competition. Ambiance is great-standard sushi bar spot.
Will 1000% be back! I’m currently typing this as I finish my food. It’s that good—I couldn’t wait!“

“I was really delighted savoring all the food. The service was professional, The guy serving was very professional and friendly, he was always smiling and always wearing gloves when serving the food. I am very impressed with that.“

“I love this place!! The sushi is the most affordable you’ll get in the area, and the woman who works there is super warm and friendly and always makes me feel welcome. The sushi is also really yummy, if you’re looking for good fresh sushi in Georgetown come here!“

“The cook was great gesture playing with knives and preparing food“

“One of my favorite sushi spots for lunch when the mood strikes. The location is unassuming and if you aren't looking for it you will walk right by. Not the cheapest option but the quality of the fish speaks for itself. As far as sushi, I can only speak to the nigiri and sashimi but the various types I have had all have been fresh with good texture. The beef udon bowl was light and a great soup without being heavy. This place is only open for lunch so if you can swing it, it's worth a try.“

“Excellent bento boxes! So good that I will come back for more.“

“Dinner tasted fresh and consisted of generous portions, and service was fast and friendly. It was nice to go to a Asia Bistro restaurant. Will be going back often. Had the chicken and Premium steamed young soy beans sprinkled with salt, hot and fresh sushi and Fresh Strawberry Lemonade. Couldn't have been better.“

“Incredible fresh, tasty, huge poke bowl with awesome flavor blends!!! I highly recommend this place!! They’re awesome!! Treat yourself & check them out!!“

“❤️ Oku. hits everytime. every 🍾 celebration we (my fam) head straightforward there.“

“We went for the summer restaurant week. You get a cold and a hot appetizer, assortment of sushi and a dessert. We opted for the soft shell crab and shabu shabu ramen, both were delicious and served hot out of the kitchen. Sushi is top quality and decadent of course. Hojicha pudding is uniquely toasty and silky.

Not all RW deals are worth going, but I’d recommend the selection at sushi taro for the quality and the value of the food.“

“Sushi is always fresh and tasty. Don’t skip the non-fish items, which are also delicious. I haven’t gone into DC for sushi since I discovered Ikko a few years ago.“

“Beatiful place! Sushi is tasty and fresh.“

“Hidden Gem (at least I didn’t know about it lol) I happened upon it and decided to give it a shot. I was the only diner so I had the place to myself.

Solid sushi without the pomp and circumstance. Volcano roll was good!

Will go here regularly.“

“This popular restaurant was quite busy when we went. The menu, same as the other Plantas, offered a lot. We had the Queso Fundido, which was great, but oily. The Tres Leches dessert was exceptionally good. The only drawback to the restaurant was that it was extremely noisy, This may have to do with when we went, late on a weekend.“

“It’s solid. It’s a little off the mark on some dishes, the quality of the fish is excellent if that’s all you want then for the cost it’s really well positioned in the city. If it’s not sushi it’s probably really tasty but a little clunky in terms of preparation. Overall a win.“

“My family loves Sushi Hachi. Most of our celebrations are here.“

“Don't underestimate this sushi spot inside the food hall The Roost. It's worth your time. Creating many sushi options, you can't go wrong. Preferring less "fishy" sushi, they have great veggie options and ones with shrimp and crab meat. Order and within a few minutes you'll get a plate of sushi with soy sauce and all the fixings.“

“The best sushi (to go) I’ve ever eaten...and I’ve eaten a lot of sushi 😅“

“I had a fantastic experience at SHŌTŌ Washington DC. The atmosphere was vibrant, with great music that added to the upscale yet inviting ambiance. The food was exceptional… beautifully presented and packed with flavor. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Definitely a place worth visiting for a great night out!“

“You can’t go wrong at Raku, their food is fantastic, well cooked and fresh!“

“Chose this spot because it was a short walk from our hotel, and WOW! What a find! An excellent selection, delicious food, and wonderful service! Best Miso soup I've ever had. If I'm ever back in Arlington, this is a must stop spot!“

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

“Consistently great. Greeted and thanked every time Also Dinora should be employee of the year She always polite and patient with every customer that comes in even the disrespectful customers. Awesome customer service DiNora thank you.“

“Nice vibe and great sushi!“

“We had so much fun and we’re amazed at how delicious everything was!M is a sweetheart and provided outstanding service. She answered questions and gave recommendations. She was very thoughtful and kind. And the food - outstanding! We can’t wait to go back!Thank you!“

“This is the only sushi place I order from now! Been going here for over a year now and it has never disappointed. Luckily, their indoor dining has opened again as well. Their takeout is always fresh and the quality of their sushi is perfect. Best of all, the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough!“

“Outstanding performers and great food!“

“Intimate but not cramped or loud, lovely decor. Best food I had all day, after 8 hours bouncing around Dupont. The eel bowl is great-- hot, filling, & tasty, and if you like sweet drinks DEFINITELY try the plum wine!! New favorite wine!!!

Green tea mochi ice cream is a restrained bitter-sweet that's complimented by the almost candy-sweet wine. Great meal, great price, I only wish I was in DC more so I could eat here all the time!!“

“This place is a gem! Been going here for years and they are absolutely lovely. My go-tos are the (vegetarian) soba/udon soup, shrimp dumplings (off menu item) and the sushi. Also excellent cucumber salad!
Not sure why some folk here have complained about the prices - you really can’t beat the value of this place in an area full of overpriced lunch spots.“

“Hands down best sushi I’ve ever had! Great service, fresh fish and ingredients as well as a TON of flavor.“

“Asia Bistro at Pentagon Row is the ideal location to eat and chat with friends on the weekend. Try one of their bento boxes for lunch or enjoy an evening for two with your Asian fusion entrees.“

“This really cute little Japanese shop was a great experience. On the simple side, but sushi was delicious and my friends enjoyed their food as well (one got chicken soup, and one got chicken teriyaki noodles). The workers were also very welcoming and nice, especially when they learned it was our first time coming to eat there. Reasonable priced, will be back again :)“

“After finding out about this restaurant months ago, I have DREAMT of eating here. My birthday was the PERFECT time to go here! I was welcomed by staff and had an accommodated menu for those who are GF or allergic to wheat like me. I got to try the General D’s Cauliflower dish, and OH MY GOSH! I downed that dish because that was the most delicious thing I’ve had all weekend…the sweet chili really brought everything together; the breaded cauliflower was the star of the entire dish! For dessert, I had the matcha cheesecake, and it was heaven in my mouth! What made it even more special, the staff brought it out with a sparkler, making it a highlight of my birthday dinner! I’m definitely coming back to try other GF dishes, along trying out other PLANTA locations within the DMV! THANK YOU PLANTA QUEEN FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY SPECIAL!!! Y’ALL ARE AMAZING!!! 🤍“

“EXCELLENCE“

“The place was small, cute, and charming. True mom and pop shop, the owners were so kind and doting. Tried the Bibimbap bowl and the mint lemonade and it did NOT disappoint. The owner and the cook herself, even mixed the Bibimbap for us. It felt like eating dinner at Grandma's house, and I can't wait to go 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!“

“We had dinner here for the first time on Thursday night, and it was such a treat. Service was amazing. Cocktails were fabulous. Food was good. And the overall ambience was so lovely. Highly recommend a spicy margarita, ordered less sweet. It was sooo good. Would go back for this drink alone. We would go back for the drinks and service and ambience for sure.“

“Easily one of the best bars in the city, hands down“
