*** stars in Tom Sietsema's Fall Dining Guide 2011. (Tom recommends the wild yellowtail, sweet shrimp, uni or panko-crusted chicken.) http://wapo.st/rd9N3J
Fatty tuna is worth every penny. Skip croquettes, wagyu, and shrimp. Salmon and yellowtail only ok.
Sushi omakase offers good sample of the available fish. Yellowtail and tuna are the standouts on the platter. Miso soup is rather unusual. Labeled as Fisherman's Miso, it includes a fish head. Beware.
Great sushi and service! Try the special rolls like double yellowtail, the baked mussel appetizer, or the lobster rolls!
Great prices on yellowtail toro. Daily Lunch specials are generous.
Want sushi but don't know what you want? Go for a Super Jo Sushi. Best value ever with great fresh quality fish!
We ordered sashimi, maki, and rolls. The fish is extremely fresh. The yellowtail was like butter. Big thumbs up.
Yellowtail and fatty tuna are great. Skip the uni - it wasn’t very fresh.
The uni was the freshest I've had and the taro is excellent!
Really terrific happy hour for such a high end sushi place: 2 rolls for $20.
Everything was really good! food, service and the atmosphere. Highly recommended if you like Japanese cuisine.
Service horrible.
All of the sushi is fantastic, but definitely try the yellowtail nigiri and the eel nigiri. So fantastic.
Cute little Japanese place. Great udon and noodle soups. Chirasi sushi
Go to Sakana and get the grilled eel.
Eat it all. Cold soba + whole squid for sure. Great Japanese whiskey selection for dessert.
The braised Porkbelly Kakuni is heaven on a plate!
With its small plates and fresh fish, this serene Japanese restaurant, just 40 seats on two floors, attracts Japanese speakers in droves.
Everything excellent
Get the crab cakes, they are different and great. Also the Alpine Bay oysters won our taste test.
Make sure to get Gene as your bartender. He makes amazing cocktails and is very knowledgeable on the menu.
AuGratin pot are the best!
Yum, you can’t go wrong with either the green or red curry.
Be sure to get the pad thai it's great ! Also be sure to try the thai iced tea it terrific.
Definitely a respectable Thai restaurant. The larb chicken was delicious, the crispy duck was flavorful, and the service was friendly.
Prices are now $1.50 per piece for most nigiri, but still well worth it. I recommend the white tuna, sea scallop, and my fav, lobster among the $1.50 pieces. The hamachi and uni r more but yummy.
This place has the cheapest and freshest sushi in DC.
What makes Kotobuki special is that it's the only Japanese restaurant in D.C. that serves kamameshi. The rice is cooked with chicken, eel, or vegetables in the iron pot. Read more.
The spicy crunchy tofu roll is one of the best tofu sushi options in the city!
Was surprised they have a $1 sushi happy hour, even on weekends (in winter), with a good selection. Crunchy spicy tuna roll and tuna tartare were excellent! Read more.
A must there is there Rainbow Roll- so good! The Lobster Roll and either of their Dragon Rolls are fantastic too.
Great sushi, the happy hour deal is perfect. Try some of the special rolls, you won't be disappointed.
Sit at the bar for a free snack (usually) lol All the rolls are good but the Superman tops the list!
DO NOT order king of the sea, overpriced and has chewy scallops
The wine list is great and the pasta is even better. It’s a local favorite for politicians, too.
For her 49th birthday on Jan. 17, the first lady had a special menu of fusilli with veal ragu, roasted tile fish with fennel and thyme puree and ricotta cheese mousse with carmelized pear. Read more.
definitely a "Who's Who" of DC. Sat next to Greg Monroe (former member Georgetown basketball, current Detroit Piston) twice and current Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. food and atmosphere are great
The bartenders Josh and Ken are awesome. Try the Jameson it's delicious.
Looking for live music? I wouldn't recommend this place only because they have tv's airing sports which takes away from the band. Also, no service at the tables, get up & get your drinks yourself!
Happy hour with good choice of food. Good vegetarian sushi options. The tofu topped with vegetable tempura is lovely
Sushi at lunch and happy hour are good! Everything tastes fresh and staff is quick. Happy hour cocktails are affordable and strong. Easy for groups inside and outside.
Not bad prices on sushi at happy hour
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
