This place is excellent! I had been meaning to come for over a year and yesterday it finally happened! My mate and I sat at the bar before the dinner rush started, so it was cool having the place to ourselves for a bit. The Whitefish, Yellowtail, and Burdock were delicious, the Sapporos were nice and cold, and the staff were all very professional and friendly!Definitely recommend

You know a restaurant is great when it’s packed on a Monday night. Ariake did not disappoint. I had sushi rolls and miso soup. It was a perfect end to a fun, sunny, yet, windy day of visiting the African American Museum and walking around the Tidal Basin viewing the Cherry Blossom Trees.
Wow! Really delicious especially a good value for the

The sushi and sashimi were super fresh, and the bento with the eels was awesome! But the miso soup was way too salty. We had to water it down.
