I've been eating fish in DC since I was a little kid, but this was my first time ask Yelp to direct me to a spot in my hood. OCS was the closest place with the best reviews, so with my mom's advice to "make sure the place doesn't smell fishy, I headed right on over. First of all, no fishy smell and clean clean. Secondly, Nicholas helps you select the fish, so no strange outside hands on the fish. Great selections, great prices, and they had EVERYTHING I needed, right on down to the fish heads. They made sure everything was skinned and filleted and I was out of there fast fast. Nicholas is charming and his staff is efficient. Next time I need a bunch of fish, I'm definitely coming here!

Parking is limited and they don't answer the phone nor does the phone even ring--this is the spot you want to get your crabs from because you won't be disappointed. The prices are fair and worth every penny unlike most other seafood places. Doesn't have a foul odor and it's pretty clean. It's located on the corner right next to a Chinese carry out and it's hard to miss if you're not paying attention. Never disappoints!!!!

Of course you gotta get it seasoned down. They were ready for me in less than five minutes. They gave me one extra, which was so great for my big back. I would definitely come here again because the service was quick. The people were very nice and who doesn't like getting something for free.

Hi Guys: I told you on Saturday in Kensington that the clam…read morechowder I purchased the week prior was absolutely delicious! Tonight we had the swordfish and salmon both of which were very good please tell your support people in Maine that the seafood has been outstanding over the past plus 35 years. We did have one very strange occurrence with one of the two 2lb. lobsters that I purchased. I cooked both in boiling water for about ten minutes. One lobster was great and very tasty the other lobster was strange in that its interior/meat, in both legs and main body, was liquid mush almost like soup. I have never experienced anything like this. Very bizarre when the other lobster was great (its meat was firm and sweet). Wonder if you or if any other customer has ever experienced anything similar?

My adult son and I had our first steamed crabs outing in a couple of years, and chose Emmert's for…read moreits midway-between-us location and fine online reviews. We were not disappointed at all, plus we were happily surprised over the unexpected value our experience represented. The crabs were more than fairly priced ($110 per dozen of heavy-for-their-size "large" crabs, served hot and fresh with very little water. These crabs certainty were local, steamed (not boiled) and fresh. The seasoning seemed perhaps a proprietary J&O blend and was adequately salty and spicy but (happily) less overpowering than Old Bay might be. The remainder of the menu, which we perused but avoided this time, would have been at home at a Chesapeake waterfront venue - all of the predictable shellfish-based traditional choices were here. Service was more than adequate; the super-cheerful Kelsey took good care of us and we took care of her (nearly a 25% tip). All told, including a draft beer for each of us and a shared slice of Smith Island Cake (a Maryland delicacy pretty hard to find), we dropped $157. Money well spent. Visit Emmert's for a messy ding hall trayful pile of Maryland summer delight. You won't be disappointed!

I know nothing about Columbian food, so my review is simply based off my personal experience and enjoyment of what I ordered. I ordered an arepa and chicken empanada. The arepa with shredded meat was amazing!! It had so much filling and the flavor was great! The empanada was made with corn, which was different from what im used to. I really enjoyed it and told my husband to order more to take home. I also explored the grocery store area and was able to grab some of their hot sauces and items available to take home. My husband and our friend ordered the chicharon and really enjoyed it as well. Very crispy and flavorful. Since our visit, we have ordered food from them to serve at parties. Everyone really enjoyed it!

My friend ordered tons of sushi from this place for a gathering he had the other day. I had heard…read moreof them before, but I had never visited them on my own. The varieties were in abundance, with plenty of classic rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. I found myself loving the tomago, eel, and salmon. For the amount of sushi there was, I will say I don't think there was not enough pickled ginger, but I can never have enough so that's just my problem XD. I could have gone crazy with the sushi, but I also wanted other people to have them, so I limit myself. But I really did enjoy every single piece that I had. If you're looking for delicious sushi, Hinata is a great option.

We were walk-ins, and didn't know that there was already a queue for the sushi - we were quoted about 45 minutes, which we thought was a bit extreme, but since we were in the area, we decided to wait. Their menu is pretty extensive, offering rolls, sashimi, vegetarian options, and combos. We ordered: +the Sushi Deluxe - this came with tuna, yellowtail, salmon, flounder, omelet, squid, shrimp, eel, clam, and shad roe in nigiri form; there were also 6 pieces of California roll +a Sashimi Deluxe - 3 pieces of tuna, yellowtail, flounder, and salmon, and 2 pieces of octopus and purple clam Sushi could have been more fresh; some of the fish had an odor to it, and the octopus, especially, was way too fishy in both odor and taste. The sushi rice was a little too loose and kept breaking apart; we felt that there could have been more quality control in preparing these, especially with the long wait time and the high price points. The mart is super small and kind of tight, but I was surprised at the selection and some produce that they had available. Staff were friendly. Metered street and garage parking available in the area. +not-so-fresh sushi +call-aheads are encouraged +friendly service +metered street and garage parking available

Pinch has no permanent location yet and is selling dumplings and side dishes from a booth at the…read moreweekly Mid-Pike Farmer's Market in Rockville (future site of the Pike & Rose complex). I was tempted over to their stand by savory smells of basil and frying pork. The dumplings of the day were pork + stringbean or pork + shrimp, and I tried the first (only $7.00 for a half-dozen). I had them pan-fried instead of steamed, so they were more oily than they might have been, but were very good, moist with crisp edges, chewy and full of flavor. While they were frying, my server offered me a sample of one of their side dishes and I chose the "All-Star Peanuts". I am a big fan of peanuts in cooking and have eaten them a lot of ways, but never any like this. They were boiled in allspice and star anise, and had a warm basil-like flavor and spiciness without any peppery heat. Yummy! According to Pinch's website they have no intention of offering the usual broad-based Chinese menu, and are 100% focused on producing "the most authentic Chinese Dumplings offered anywhere". The website lists four types of pork dumplings, plus lamb, crabmeat, vegan and mushroom, and four side dishes - period. This is admirable. It's my experience that restaurants that focus on one thing and do it as well as possible are some of the best around here, and I'm much looking forward to visiting Pinch again both on the Pike and in their eventual location. I want to try the steamed dumplings next time, and I'm definitely getting more of those awesome peanuts!
