*** 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.
The sushi happy hour is a great bargain—always fresh. Very good prices for a casual sushi experience, and the staff is amazing, very efficient
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.
Best sushi in DC - seriously! I have tried a lot of sushi. Fresh, great service, and well prepared!
Everything was really good! food, service and the atmosphere. Highly recommended if you like Japanese cuisine.
Service horrible.
Get the scallop wasabi salsa ❤️
It's worth the wait (and only acceptable way) to sit at the kitchen/bar. Order the naughty bits: tongue, trotters, and hamachi jaw. Fried thighs and monk fish liver also amazing.
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.
All of the sushi is fantastic, but definitely try the yellowtail nigiri and the eel nigiri. So fantastic.
This is an hidden gem. I'm very very picky when it comes to sushi and I was a little bit sceptical at the beginning. I was wrong: the quality of the nigiri is exceptional, and yet very affordable!
Go to Sakana and get the grilled eel.
The beef Hunan stir fry is awesome!!!
Everything excellent
The stuffes shrimp is to die for! Make sure you get a Baked Alaska, best dessert I've ever had! They light it on fire! Its a moist chocolate cake topped with strawberry ice cream and meringue!
Make sure to get Gene as your bartender. He makes amazing cocktails and is very knowledgeable on the menu.
AuGratin pot are the best!
You gotta try GODZIRRA! And the STICKY BALLS!!! The tuna and yellow tail sashimi above everything!
Sit at the sushi bar. The chefs are great and they'll hook you up with some nice bites.
order a bucket of tots. They 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.
Get the Shumai for an appy and then the Chirashi Deluxe as an entree.. An excellent dinner to split between two people and frankly the freshest fish in the area
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.
All sushi, nigiri and gyoza were all delicious!
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.
Love this cozy spot. Great service and sushi. I definitely prefer it to Tono Sushi next door.
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 Tortella Barba was awesome (and seasoned perfectly)!
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
Yummy and fresh buffet style restaurant. Good hot and cold bars, sandwich stand, sushi corner, and bar. Very good!
Enjoy some of the best eats in and around Georgetown University Hospital! Try the banana pudding!
Must try The McGhee Sanwhich.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
