    I have only been once for the $1 nigiri at happy hour but I was impressed with the choices they offer for $1 nigiri! And they were delicious so I'll definitely be coming back.

    BUILD YOUR OWN 2 Protein(online)
    Audrey R.

    I got this bowl delivered so maybe take this with a grain (or two of salt) - here we got a two protein make your own bowl with tuna and shrimp. the tuna had the weirdest, almost papery texture. flavor was fine but the texture was off. shrimp was solid and a decent portion - I absolutely loved how much ginger was added and the truffle vinaigrette was special. Definitely not a traditional poke dressing but had the perfect lightness to compliment the fish and just enough truffle to not overpower everything - pickled vegetables were quite fun, but definitely belonged more on a roasted meat sandwich than a poke bowl. - nothing objectively wrong but a very average mid bowl that left me wanting more. not a ton of flavor or especially fresh fish. fat fish is still the best poke ive had in DC

    Fried Tofu Udon

    First time having udon and it was amazing! The staff are unbelievably kind and welcoming. Wish I lived in the area so I could go more often! The spring rolls are delicious too

    BBQ Pork Saimin

    I saw that there were other Hawaiian entrees and options here (besides poke), so I had to stop by if I'm already walking around in AdMo this past Saturday! The service here was very nice and friendly and I got my food pretty quickly (in and out within 30 minutes). PORK SAIMIN - 16 I am a huge sucker for dashi based broths. The broth was so flavorful, full of kelp and seafood base, tinge of sweetness, but it was much too salty. Like, unbearably salty. Every time I drank the broth, I would need to inhale two large gulps of water. There was a good amount of toppings in the saimin. Interesting to see lightly roasted pork and spam in noodle soups. The couple pieces of kamaboko (Japanese fish cakes) and tamago were nice touches. I love the amount of green onions they gave me (definitely not skimping here). Bokchoy provided a nice crunch. I really liked the super thin noodles (or "saimin") for its texture. Sadly, it soaked up way too much of the broth and was much too salty, so I ended up leaving half of the saimin because I couldn't keep eating it. My mouth was pretty dry for the rest of the day. Maybe it was just an off day?

    I was visiting Washington, DC for a work trip and I was staying close by so I decided to walk around and find a spot for dinner and I am so glad I found this place. I had only tried Poke once before so I thought I would try it out they had a build-your-own poke option so I was able to add everything I wanted and it turned out delicious. The service was fast and attentive. They kindly answered some questions I had and prepared my food quickly. I would definitely encourage others to check this place out. Food Ordered: Build-your-own Poke Bowl -White rice -Salmon -Baby Shrimp (cooked) -Cucomber -Carrots -Edamame -Jalapeno -Radish -Garlic Miso -Avocado

    ikura (salmon roe) nigiri, yellowtail scallion roll, eel roll, double salmon roll

    I get takeout from here all the time and the sushi is so good! Reasonably priced rolls compared to a lot of other sushi places in DC. Always tastes good and fresh, and I really like their Ikura.

    If you come here to only get sushi, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! (Also it seems like their sushi is equally good) I highly recommend the Hawaiian noodles (saimin). It's so flavorful yet not heavy. I'm sincerely considering this as my number one comfort food on a rainy day, sick day, or after holiday eating spree! Salmon ochazuke (salmon over rice, bathed in green tea) is just what I expected and how it should likely taste like when it's done right. Go try it first without the wasabi and then rub and dissolve half of the wasabi they provide in the dish. Now you got almost two different food! I would be excited to try more of their hot dishes and raw fish items in the future!

    Umai Nori - Sashimi platter was a 10/10

    I stopped by Umai Nori in DC for a late lunch. It wasn't too busy when I went, but I could…read moredefinitely see this place getting packed for dinner. The layout is interesting -- there's an upstairs when you walk in, but the sushi bar and a good bit of seating are downstairs. The menu is pretty straightforward with a mix of hand rolls, appetizers, specialty rolls, nigiri/sashimi, and traditional rolls. They also have a few solid combo deals, though I usually prefer trying a variety of items instead. Service was quick, which is always appreciated at a sushi spot. We ordered a few specialty rolls, two traditional rolls, and a couple orders of sashimi, all served together on one platter. The rolls were a great size -- filling without being overly large. The sashimi was fresh, and the traditional rolls really balanced out the meal nicely. The flounder and tuna sashimi were both excellent, and the California roll made with real crab was simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The total came out somewhere in the $70 range, so after tip and splitting it between two people, it was about $40 each to try multiple rolls and sashimi. Definitely fair pricing for the quality and amount of food. This spot had been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally made it over. I'd recommend checking out the menu beforehand so you can go in with a game plan and try the items that stand out most to you.

If you love old & new R&B this is the place to be on Thursday & Sunday nights. My only complaint is that the music is so loud it's hard to have a conversation or even place your order. We had to ask our waitress multiple times for limes, soy sauce and a to go box. I don't blame her for being overwhelmed since the music was so loud but there is room for improvement! Sebastian Roll: 10/10 fried crab roll was delicious. This is my new go to roll! Buenos Aires Roll: 7/10 nothing crazy. Reminded me of an elevated California roll with torched salmon on top. Vegetable Gyoza: 7/10 pan fried instead of boiled which I prefer! Kind of bland. Would be better with a different sauce or added protein. Calamari: 7/10 good but it did not stand out. Comes with both rings & tentacles. We don't like tentacles so we ate around them.

    This place feels like it tried to be a hit in the 90s and failed. The sushi just isn't that good,…read morethe whole menu is white washed mid sushi at high prices. The ceviches and crudos and such are all fine, but they're not good. It makes it hard to want to enjoy them at all. Service is nice and friendly, but understaffed. Everything took incredibly long. Why are they understaffing this place?!? Especially at the prices. The cocktails are actually pretty good, though the wine list is uninteresting. It's a fine spot if you're looking for a quick meal in Georgetown, but it's not a destination spot by any means.
