Came here because it was close to our accommodation in Arlington. Out of all the meals we had in DC, this was one of the best valued ones. I got the Fat Fish poke because it also contained white fish, which is something I'd never seen at poke restaurants before. All the ingredients were very fresh, especially the avocado, which they gave a pretty generous amount of, and of course the fish. Sauces and seasonings worked really well together. Wanted to finish off with a soft serve taiyaki, but unfortunately their machine was broken. read more

Amazing, quick lunch option at the Waterpark! This is just one of the restaurants in the outdoor food court of the Waterpark and it is such a nice addition to the area. My friend and I's sushi rolls were really fresh and the staff was kind to assist us through any questions. There are many options to choose from and they offer some non sushi food options as well! read more

Fat Fish is a food vendor at Water Park National Landing, one of two in the DMV area. Ordering was easy since there is a kiosk available. Compared to other poke places, I'd say Fat Fish is pricier. BUILD YOUR OWN - 17.50 Each comes with one protein, four toppings, a base (rice, veggies, or additional charge for wonton chips), and sauce. I got a mix of mixed greens and rice for my base, poke salmon for my protein, and the following toppings: avocado, edamame, scallions, and seaweed salad (+0.50). This was OK. The salmon wasn't very fatty and it was just... there. The veggies were fresh and the rice was a bit sticky. Overall, nothing special. I don't know if this was worth $18 + 10% Arlington tax. read more

I got a poke bowl here and it was insanely fresh. The fish tasted clean, the toppings were flavorful, but the portions were questionable. The staff moved fast even though it was busy, and everything came out quickThe flavors were balanced, but the bowl was very skimp. read more

Have been here a few times since they opened and the food is really fresh and flavorful! Our favorite items are their poke bowls and the spam musubi. I really liked their spicy tuna bowl and think it was actually a really big size, had a huge piece of avocado so I had leftovers. This is definitely a place that you can feel good about eating from as the food is fresh and relatively healthy! Also love their taiyaki rolls -- the cinnamon cereal milk is really unique and the toppings are plentiful here! While this isn't a full sit down restaurant, there's plenty of seating nearby and it's nice to be able to sit by the water/fountains! Definitely will be a regular spot for me. read more

I'm a huge fan of Fat Fish, and their second location in Crystal City is just as amazing as the first! It's part of a series of stand alone shops/shacks, and all the classic Fat Fish options are available, but I really love getting a custom bowl. You can mix and match all your favorite toppings, and it's such a fun way to customize the meal exactly how you want it. I'm particularly obsessed with the spicy salmon-- I get it with mixed greens and rice, and they really pack in the toppings. It's always so generous that I can easily get two meals out of one bowl, which is a huge bonus. The quality is always top-notch, and I genuinely wish I could eat here for lunch and dinner every day! The atmosphere is great too. The surrounding area with all the other food shacks is super nice, and there's plenty of seating. The lights in the evening create a great vibe, and the heaters are perfect for when it gets a little chilly. The service is fast, and they never skimp on portions -- I love that! read more

Unbelievably slow. This is set up like a quick stop but I waited 30mins. No updates, no oh, we're working on it. Then I finally get my food, sushi rice is not cooked! It's hard! But to make matters worst, the shrimp tempura that should be in the roll is just tempura dough, NO SHRIMP! Absolutely no the worst sushi I've ever had. read more

This is the best restaurant in national landing easily. Best, freshest poke bowl I've ever had in my life. Every single bowl I've ever gotten is like 5 lbs of food it's insane. The tuna is not chopped like other poke bowls it's so soft and tender. It's spicy and fresh and the owner and all the workers are the nicest people I've ever me. Sorry pics are from my insta story lol read more

This is a solid poke and sushi place! The fat roll is really good and the combination of toppings for the poke bowl went well with the fish. Prices are definitely a little high but to be expected for sushi read more

Food was ready quickly and the area was nice. Sat at a bench with a friend and we both enjoyed everything.

Fat fish was decent. It is a good location at the water park in Crystal City. I'd say the bowl is pricey, but serves an adequate portion of food. Everything tasted fresh and good. Agreeably, the fish could have been more flavorful- but I am happy with it enough to want to return. read more

I wish I could rate the sushI, but I never got the chance to eat it, it sat in the window in the sun for 20 minutes while I waited for them to call my name. When I did go to ask they handed it to me and it was very warm. When I asked about them making a fresh one for me the staff couldn't understand english. I ended up throwing it away and walking off since it would be useless to continue and was very busy. read more

I got the spicy tuna poke bowl from Fat Fish during my lunch break. The taste was a bit underwhelming but was a good portion size for the price. Most of the food in the other stalls next door are around the same price. The service was quick so perfect for getting lunch when you're in a pinch! read more

Had a poke bowl here, and it was fantastic! Fresh ingredients and great flavors. Highly recommend!
