50 Best Sushi Bars near Baileys Crossroads

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I went for her birthday and they already had a card prepared for her when we got there because I selected birthday under the event tab in our reservation. We both decided it was the best place either of us had been. I do not write reviews for restaurants but this one deserves it. All of the food was delicious and we couldn't have asked for better customer service. We can't wait to go back.“

“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!“

“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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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“

“Every thing we had was so delicious. We started with genmaicha tea as it was a chilly day and then ordered appetizers.
The
tea was perfectly roasted and cozy. We had the rock shrimp and fried sweet potato- lightly fried and full of flavor. Next I had the salmon teriyaki and friend has Ramen. Also delicious, no complaints. The true winner was our waiter. He was so welcoming, accommodating, funny and kind. Will be back very soon.“

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

“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 !!!“

“The night before the Marine Corps Marathon, we celebrated our anniversary dinner with family and relatives at Satay Club, a cozy Malaysian restaurant tucked in the heart of Washington DC. I’m always on the lookout for authentic flavors — and this place truly impressed us with every bite.

We started our feast with their signature Satay — both chicken and lamb. Perfectly grilled with smoky charred edges, the skewers were tender and flavorful, complemented beautifully by the rich, nutty peanut sauce. It felt like a taste of Kuala Lumpur in DC!

Next came the salted fish fried rice, aromatic and full of wok hei (that irresistible smoky aroma). The balance of savory salted fish, soft egg, and crisp vegetables made it comfort food at its best. The calamari dish was crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with colorful bell peppers and crunchy shallots — a delightful mix of texture and spice.

We also loved the tofu and eggplant stir-fry, which came in a deliciously savory sauce — rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying. To end the evening, we indulged in ice chendol and fried banana, a sweet and refreshing finish that brought nostalgic memories of Southeast Asia.

Satay Club is a gem — family-run, warm, and truly authentic. A perfect place for Malaysian food lovers and a wonderful way to celebrate before marathon day! 🇲🇾🍢🍚💛“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“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 !“

“Fabulous dining experience with our server, Yurii. Kind, patient, and attentive service. Came to celebrate a birthday so thank you to Yurii & Kelly who wished us happy birthday and made the night memorable. Will be returning. Delicious, quality sushi with beautiful ambiance and a clean space. Free parking is easily accessible right around the corner, about a 2 minute walk to the garage.“

“I had stopped by Sushi Snob a few times for lunch and was impressed by the quality. However it wasn’t until I booked the omakase experience for an anniversary and was completely blown away. The chefs were very friendly and accommodated food restrictions gracefully. My partner and I were agog at the chefs’ talents and pairings and will be back soon. Definitely some of the best sushi in the DMV area“

“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!“

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

“This is my favorite sushi place! I always recommend it to all my friends! It's a great Hidden Gem! The quality is always fantastic and so is the amount of fish you get! Lunch special is very solid. I try to come two times a week! Best quality in the area“

“Good sushi. I had the rainbow roll, yellowtail nigiri and salmon nigiri. Service was polite and the food was prepared quickly. The restaurant was clean. It's tucked away in the corner of that parking lot. Hard to see from the street but worth the visit.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My first visit was last week....the bento box was very good and the service was wonderful!“

“due to inadequate staffing they place a limit on how much your table can order at a time and if you can finish eating everything, so be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting between rounds due to AYCE food waste and constantly evolving rules . we dined for 2 hours due to the food taking so long 😭 the food was very good though!

food taste good takes some time to arrive the portions are small, it arrives slow, was expecting more food which they limit you ordering“

“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.“

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

“Outstanding performers and great food!“

“Beatiful place! Sushi is tasty and fresh.“

“Stopped by this restaurant for lunch randomly last Friday and I was so impressed!! I got the sushi and nigiri lunch special and my partner got the two traditional rolls and 1 special roll. It was such a great deal and amazing quality. The fish tasted very fresh. The service was also very good. We will definitely start coming here regularly! Loved my experience.“

“Best sushi in town. Don't waste your money anywhere else. Quality and price come together.“

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

“Great sushi, friendly staff, and pretty ambiance. Definitely recommend!“

“Wow! Where do I begin this experience was top tier from the sushi, customer service, ambience and interpersonal connects made with staff and fellow guest! We had the pleasure of being immersed in this full body melting in your mouth flavorful experience by chef Erik, who not only educated us along the way but made efforts to connect on a personal level! It felt as if you’re single handily having a meal with family. The sushi was AMAZING! Erik , Alexis, Fino and Alvero didn’t spare a moment in catering to all the guest we truly felt we’ve gotten more than just sushi. We did the 12 course and immediately thought we should’ve done 17 it’s more than worth it and the vegan ice cream dessert was delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We love this place!! The combo menu is so great and we got beef and shrimp. The staff prepared the sauce and we enjoyed the fresh meat/veggies and the sauce is delicious. We also tried Vietnamese platter- a real treat. Must try. The combo menu is very reasonable and we are very full.“

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

“New favorite sushi restaurant in the neighborhood! The crabmeat rangoon and red roof roll were delicious, flavorful and very fresh. Sometimes this restaurant runs BOGO deals on Uber Eats (and maybe other food delivery platforms) so definitely take advantage of that!“

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

“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!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“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.“

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

“Had a Great time celebrating a friend’s birthday! Food is amazing, sushi is fresh! Good atmosphere! Owners are Super cool and really knows how to make their guests feel special. Kudos to the entire staff for the Great service. Highly recommend!“

“Friendly and attentive staff! Had a few questions about some menu items and my waitress Lucy was quick to answer and give me some amazing suggestions. I ended up going with the sizzling bulgolgi. Was extremely delicious!! Will be coming back, thanks so much!“

“I absolutely loved this whole experience! The decor and service is awesome. But the food here takes it to the next level. My favorite place to eat at is 54 restaurant!!!“

“Tried Kusshi in Bethesda recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere without feeling too loud or crowded, and the location in Woodmont Triangle makes it a nice spot for dinner before walking around downtown after. Sushi tasted fresh and presentation was really well done. You can tell they pay attention to quality instead of just rushing plates out.

We ordered a mix of rolls, appetizers, and drinks and honestly everything came out pretty quickly. The crispy rice and specialty rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering too much which I appreciated.

Prices are definitely on the higher side compared to casual sushi spots, but that’s kind of expected for the area and quality level. Overall a really solid place for date night, dinner with friends, or just when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale than average.“
