There is no signage on the exterior building or the street to identify this restaurant. Once inside, it seems caught in the early 2000s with updates taped over original signs.
A 2-person operation, service may take a bit of time while they are working to complete an order or maintain the restaurant.
The food is classic sushi construction and a true delight with fresh fish with a miniscule dab of wasabi atop sushi rice. The dish I ordered included an option of salad or miso and I truly enjoyed.
It was slightly creepy eating in the quiet corporate lobby area outside the restaurant and, if I had the powers, I would love to see this place picked out of the building and plopped into a street facing space.
This place is truly a hidden gem. 11/10 recommend. Great prices and very quick and delicious. My coworkers and I order sometimes and it always makes our days.
This is like the Sushi Stop of the east coast except no need to tip since it is counter service. Individual roll prices are cheap, but you can get even better deals with their combos. There is seating but not exactly a nice sit down place.
One of the best kept secret lunch spots in the area. Used to come here each week for sushi when I worked downtown. Amazing prices and great deals, plus always fresh tasting fish. Cooked options as well.
My go-to place near the office. The veggie special is my personal favorite!
I’ve been coming here for almost 15 years - always great sushi!
Exceptionally clean and quick, albeit a little hard to find (search the second floor via escalator or climb the stairs on the library side.) Yakisoba looks delicious, and the miso soup is perfect for a chilly day. Prices on the website need to be updated, the $7.50 special has been bumped up to $10.00.
Wonderful food! The cheapest best tasting sushi in DC! Definitely worth going, if you’re having trouble finding it it’s on the top floor in the business building
This place is literally a hole in the wall, and difficult to find, but it is spotlessly clean, and the service is great. Located on the interior of an office building behind a pizza place, a Washington Sports Club, and an art store, they stay in business because their food is good enough for people to seek them out. Strictly a cash-and-carry joint*, but they have everything from sushi to bento boxes to tempura to teriyaki, well-prepared and reasonably priced (for downtown DC). * - there are several tables outside the restaurant, but they are general use, not specific to the restaurant.
I like the teriyaki and the sushi, but I'm not adventurous enough to try the more exotic dishes even though they are probably excellent. Only complaint - the lunch rush can seem a bit disorganized, although they're pretty good about first-in, first-out.
Amazing sushi at reasonable prices.
