The food was good and there was a good selection of sake. The service was excellent (even though they only had two staff doing both table waiting and sushi making).
I wish there was more roll selection/variety and an option for larger boats/platters - we had to order mostly piecemeal.
Very expensive restaurant.

My wife and I went here while on vacation in DC and it was excellent. Great sushi, nice beer, good ambience (not deathly quite nor overwhelmingly loud i.e. able to converse and be comfortable) and the service was excellent. Highly recommend. Will return once we are back in DC. Hopefully soon. Great town, too.

EDO-TOKYO STYLE Assorted Nigiri was fantastic!

I would like to start with a disclaimer that you can spend a lot of money at this restaurant, however there is still plenty to enjoy on a budget! Whether you’re coming for a party, casual lunch or a special occasion you will leave Sushi Gakyu feeling appreciative of the friendly staff and their great services to the customers.
This was my experience when I went with a few friends to the closest food spot we could find that was also interesting. Their drink selection was plentiful and diverse for all of the right reasons. You want a reasonably priced cocktail or beer? No problem! You want something more fancy and/or to share with the table? No problem! The same applies with their food menu. I was able to get a miso soup and chefs choice of sushi roll for a really affordable price, but looking on their menu they offer some premium dishes. If it wasn’t for the distance I’d love to get some friends together and fully experience a majority of their menu together!
Also the restaurant was very clean and had an awesome atmosphere!

Great sushi. Service was very good. The nigiri is top quality.

Nice place, I'd dine in next time. I did think it was expensive for what we received and I didn't think their menu was super unique. Overall I enjoyed the food.

The service at this place is consistently genuine. The staff is friendly and hardworking. The sushi is great. We often enjoy the chirashi because of the preparation and melt-in-your-mouth sashimi.

Maybe we came too late in the evening or had too high expectations for this place. While each piece generally for the Edo Nigiri and Gakyu Assorted Sushi were pretty good, the toro seemed to have a ligament and was far from the clean butter like softness of great toro. We would like to give this place a second chance but are hesitant. We hear it's better in January and February

Fabulous. I ordered the Gakyu Sushi Dinner (pictured here). A great selection with excellent cuts of super fresh fish. I felt the $40 price for this dinner was fair given the quality. Great Saki selection as well.

Chef Yoshison is a true professional.. the price reflects the quality of the fish. service was excellent. If you want quality try this restaurant. For the full experience order omakase (ask how the fish should be eaten.)
