Red Bar Sushi and Best Thai Kitchen

When we walked in at 6:30pm for dinner, the manager made a point to mention they were under-staffed again. We should have turned around and immediately left. It took over half an hour for the one server to take our order and after an hour, one of the two entrees had not arrived. We were told this order had been lost.

I can honestly say it’s been a very long time since I’ve had such a disappointing dining experience!! While the food itself was of good quality the service was extremely poor and made the visit unpleasant!

We sat down and placed our drink and appetizer orders and main dishes a bit later, but about 30 minutes later, our main meals arrived before any appetizers! When we mentioned this to our server, she apologized and said she’d check on it, but another 30–45 minutes went by with no updates and no one checking in on us!

When she finally returned and we asked for the check, she asked if we had ever received our appetizers which we hadn’t. We waited another 20–25 minutes with our card ready to pay, but again, no follow-up. Eventually, we walked to the front desk to pay and even then, no one apologized or acknowledged the poor service!

It’s disappointing because the food was actually good, but the lack of attentiveness and accountability from the staff completely ruined the experience! We won’t be returning, as there are plenty of other restaurants with both great food and respectful, attentive service!

I sat down for dinner and it was only my table of 2 and 2-3 other small tables there. I ordered drinks and soups first and then a couple rolls of sushi and an entree shortly after. Only the sushi and drinks show up. But apparently it got busy and our orders were forgotten. So just keep in mind if you’re not a party of rich locals you will most likely be ignored and leave hungry.

I love fresh raw sushi and this is the best in the DC area. Try the “wicked tuna” roll and add sesame oil to the masago on top. Wow.

This has to be the best Thai and Sushi I’ve had in a very long time. My wife and I got the Drunken noodles, the cherry blossoms roll, the tear drop roll, and the Tonkotsu Ramen. None of or meal options disappointed. My favorite was the spicy drunken noodles with chicken and duck.

The food made up for the wait. Seats were immediately available; however, the time to place and receive our order was almost excruciating. The waitress provided an excellent recommendation for the food and did not disappoint.

We have been going here for the last 6 years for the Sushi, which is by far the best we've had.
