“I love it here! They have great food options to explore. It’s family friendly and clean. They are always fully staffed, keeping fresh food coming and drinks flowing. I come about once a month just to treat myself to the great experience and vibes. Tip well. They deserve it!“

“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.“

“Best sushi restaurant me and my family have ever been to. Our server, Jay made our experience even better with his service that went above expectations. They also gave complimentary matcha ice cream for our birthdays that was insanely good.“

“One of the best sushi experiences we’ve had on the East Coast. The Omakase was exceptional and absolutely worth every penny. A must‑try is The Heaven sake — incredibly smooth, crisp, and perfectly paired with the meal.

We celebrated my brother’s birthday here, and the entire family is still talking about how amazing everything was. Highly recommend!“

“We had a fantastic dinner! Great food and great staff. We had a variety of appetizers and rolls; with the crispy rice, torch roll and Maryland roll being the best! Thank you Linda for the recommendations, you didn’t let us down! We will be back to try Linda’s other favorite dishes. :)“

“This place is amazing every time. They always have great fresh fish and the staff is great. Super friendly and open to being creative.“

“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.“

“We got two Salmon Lover sets and a Unagi roll to go and everything was really good. The salmon sashimi was fresh and the rolls were generously filled. The unagi was spot on too.

They threw in three complimentary pieces of sushi and two free miso soups with our takeout order, which was a really nice surprise. When I wasn’t sure what to get for drinks, they had great suggestions for sake and beer. Great experience overall, will definitely be back!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Super friendly and attentive staff, excellent tasting food and nice, family feel in the restaurant! There are many options for sushi, and for grilled food, their special rolls are a highlight!! Highly recommend Sakura and will definitely return. 5 stars !!!“

“My family and I visited Satay Club on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, DC, and we loved it so much that we came back the very next day!

The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Every dish we tried was delicious, and you could tell it was prepared with care and attention to detail.

A special thank you to Howaah for making both visits so memorable. She was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She always seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask and made sure our family was comfortable throughout our meals. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and friendly personality truly stood out and added so much to our dining experience.

Great food and exceptional service are hard to find, but Satay Club delivered both. We left feeling like valued guests and look forward to returning again soon. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Classic sushi bar with some excellent quality fish. They excel at unique fusion sashimi (like the amazing salmon carpaccio with tomato and basil) and nigiri (the maguro with truffle!) Simply prepared with incredible flavor combos. They also have an incredible sake list! Very well priced, Takumi is our go to sushi spot!

By far, this is“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“I had such an incredible experience at Yume Sushi last night! Casey the bartender, and Matt the manager were incredible. Everything i ordered was absolutely phenomenal. The quality of the food was outstanding, and you could tell so much care went into every dish.

The entire staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. I’m absolutely obsessed with this place and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Yume Sushi to anyone looking for amazing sushi and exceptional service!“

“Very good spot near our hotel ! Staff was very polite and friendly. If we comeback around DC in the future we will have our lunch there for sure !“

“Absolutely enchanted by my omakase experience!

Steer clear of other spots; this one transcends expectations. Having explored omakase across the states, even the renowned ones fall short of this hidden gem, breaking free from sushi snobbery.

The highlight? Undeniably the superbly curated fish selection. Each piece, a testament to culinary artistry, surpassed my expectations. What set this experience apart were the exquisite hot dishes seamlessly woven between courses, elevating the tasting journey.

The owners and chefs? They're the cherries on top, sealing the experience like a wax-sealed envelope—sophisticated and perfect. Can't contain my excitement to introduce this culinary haven to all my friends. It's a gastronomic adventure that deserves to be shared!

Even after traveling all over Asia, I still missed coming here. Amazing sushi, great staff, and consistently one of my favorite spots. I honestly can't believe this place still isn't getting more media attention. The quality is incredible, and I'm surprised more people don't know about it yet. Definitely a hidden gem“

“The experience was amazing the food the sushi 17 course was unreal and fresh. Each bite sparked my taste buds. The chef was friendly, patient and informative. Very considerate and accommodating to my 10 year old daughter. The strawberry Martini and vodka ice cream wow!! The drinks were cool! 😎“

“My wife and I had a great experience at Khin's. Amazing staff, delicious food, not expensive whatsoever. If we lived in the area, this would be a regular spot indeed. Just give 'em a try, c'mon. They're awesome. Oh what did I order? Well you see, I had a caterpillar roll and one of those fancy volcano dishes, and my wife had a philly roll with some other roll that had salmon on top. Good quality. Ten out of ten, five out of five, same same.“

“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.“

“It was our first time. The food was wonderful and the hospitality was amazing!“

“Just incredible.

To be totally blunt, after walking in, I wasn't expecting much. It's a small self serve restaurant that doesn't resemble most sushi establishments I've been to.

I ordered the sushi deluxe and subbed out the California roll for salmon rolls, I also got the tempura Philly, and the double fantasy. I also received a free Miso soup on top of all of that.

The second I took my first bite into that piece of Eel nigri, I knew this was going to be an excellent dinner. Even at high end sushi restaurants I've had at least a piece of sushi or two taste a little old or a sushi roll that's overdone with the toppings. This is the first sushi I've ever had where every single piece of fish was excellent. The sushi was incredibly fresh and every bite was delicious. I'm usually not a fan of shrimp nigiri and even that was enjoyable tonight. I don't know what the secret is, but this was the most impressive sushi experience I've ever had.

If you are a sushi connoisseur, this is a must try place while Iin DC.“

“Very solid food and all you can eat at a good price. We'll be coming back for sure.“

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

“EXCELLENCE“

“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.“

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

“Small and hidden, it’s not hard to overlook this local gem. There is no seating, so all orders are takeout. Don’t let it’s size fool you - this is some of the best sushi in the area, and far superior to many larger and more expensive places.
Ingredients are fresh and prepared to order on the spot. There’s also a small market for Japanese foods and snacks.“

“Mariana was amazing! She had the best suggestions for us since it was our first time at Shabu Shabu. She was also super helpful with tips on how to get the best flavor out of our broth, veggies, fish, and meat. Fun atmosphere, great food, and even better service!“

“Kusshi is my sisters and I favorite restaurant, and we’re upset that it’s closing down. I don’t know why these other people is putting bad reviews but this restaurant has SUCH good service, there food IS amazing, and the food didn’t take long to come, but other people has their own opinion but it’s disappointing it’s closing down.😢 we would’ve gave Kusshi ten stars but of course it doesn’t let us, or actually more. But we you guys don’t permanently close it down. 🙏🙏🙏“

“Our experience today was fantastic. Dylan was very attentive and made sure we're having a great time. He also helped us figure out what sushi we used to get here 🤣 I also got matcha mochi for my birthday! Thank you and we'll definitely be back 🫡“

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

“5/5 ⭐️ easily—this place has been our go-to sushi spot for a while now, and it never misses. From the moment you walk in, you get that warm, local vibe where they actually remember you, not just your order. The service is consistently on point—friendly, attentive, and just the right balance of casual and professional.

And huge shoutout to the chef—every dish shows real skill and care. You can tell there’s pride behind the counter, from the freshness of the fish to how beautifully everything is plated. It’s that kind of attention to detail that keeps us coming back.

Whether it’s a quick dinner or a longer hang with friends, it just hits every time. Love supporting a local spot that does everything right. If you know, you know.

Gam-sa-ham-nee-da!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“Always great food, great service, never disappointed. Love love this place. Please stay open🤗“

“Great friendly welcoming service and the food was delicious- I would HIGHLY recommend 🤩“

“I recently visited this Japanese restaurant and had an absolutely amazing dining experience. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavor. I also tried the ramen and tempura, and both dishes were prepared perfectly with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff members were attentive, polite, and provided excellent customer service throughout the visit.“

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

“We were very pleasantly surprised and impressed by this place! Saw it many times but always passed by for some reason . It was a big mistake I wish we discovered it earlier! Super cool atmosphere , eclectic modern Japanese / Hawaiin vibe with a lot of taste , beautiful fun bar and the tables around the bar area and also very charming and cosy main dining room with an intimate exotic atmosphere . But on top of it we had absolutely amazing , so fresh and delicious sushi rolls and a live bossa nova jazz (which is there every Friday as we found out) . And if you are a whiskey or bourbon lover - definitely try Kaiyo 5 woods whiskey! It has such a smooth and elegant taste , our first time trying Japanese whiskey and we were in love! All the sushi were consumed so fast that we didn’t even had a chance to take a picture )))) Our new favorite place in Arlington for sure!“
