Spicy Roll Combo, Rock Shrimp Tempura, Miso Soup
Antoninette B.

Hands down my favorite place to get takeout sushi in DC! They are incredible. They have a Spicy Roll Combo that is my go to. It's 3 full sized rolls (Spicy Tuna, Salmon, and California) for $20. It's so much food and the perfect Spicy Rolls. I often re-order their Rock Shrimp Tempura, it's a lot of shrimp and tossed and a really incredible sweet/spicy sauce. I also love their Seaweed Salad (such a good portion size) and their Fried Rice. Really you can go wrong with anything, they never disappoint!

Tuna Lover Roll
Sophia S.

I love the tuna lovers roll, it's so good! The nigiri here is also really good for the price point. There's not much seating, so this restaurant is best for takeout. The employees are always really nice when I go pick up my order. I definitely recommend this place!

Thai Basil Chicken Lunch Special
Rohan N.

Isshin Asian Bistro is a good spot for a weekday lunch. If you're looking for something quick, affordable, and tasty then Isshin's range of Asian options will do the trick. I had the basil chicken lunch combo, which comes with the entree, rice, and a spring roll. I also ordered the hot and sour soup and was not disappointed by any of the offerings. If you come around when they open, all the food is fresh and hot. I did takeout on a Wednesday and was impressed by the decent portion sizes and quality of the food. This isn't going to be the best Thai (or Chinese, or Japanese) food you ever eat but it does the trick. The basil chicken had plenty of vegetables including onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, and came with a sizable portion of rice as well. The egg roll was your standard vegetarian egg roll with a nice crunchy coating and a forgettable but decent cabbage filling. The soup here is always excellent and is very filling as well.

Spicy Roll Combo Seaweed Salad
Anna M.

Decided to get delivery yesterday from a new sushi place and ended up finding my new favorite place!! I got the spicy roll combo that comes with 3 rolls and you choose between miso soup or salad. Also got the seaweed salad for an appetizer. The 3 rolls were generously filled with the filling and the miso soup came still warm, I didn't even have to heat it up! Everything was a reasonable price and I will definitely be ordering from here again!

Spicy salmon roll (top), salmon rolls and tuna roll
An A.

Ordered sushi lunch combos for delivery. Excellent value and consistent food over the last 2 years. I'll continue to order delivery from here and hopefully get to pop in to sit down and enjoy a meal there!

Sushi & Sashimi Dinner
Alli R.

Ordered twice on doordash in the last few weeks and really enjoyed my food! The sushi combos are a great deal and are very filling. LOVE the rock shrimp with pineapple. Haven't been to the location but will be ordering again!

I came here for lunch with some colleagues and they happily accommodated our party of 5 though the inside was set up more for take out only. I'd say the whole space could probably only seat about 15 people. I ordered the Las Vegas Roll which was one of the Chef's specials, not a lunch special. It came with cooked salmon and white fish (red snapper) and some cream cheese. It was a good size! However I also wanted raw fish so I tried someone's spicy salmon from the lunch special and it was pretty good too. The proportion of fish to rice is very good, not too much rice! I was very hungry so I also got a lunch plate of sesame chicken and white rice. I was surprised it came with an egg roll which was perfect as I was really hungry. I ordered a Thai iced tea as well. I left very happily full. If your goal is a good value for a meal, look no where else. This might not be my first choice for either Chinese food or sushi, but they have both and at a good price! So if you're looking for both, this place is a win. I've liked restaurants that were in this unit years ago but it kept changing so I'm hoping Isshin is here to stay.

Shredded Chicken in Garlic Sauce
Anushka M.

Ever since moving I've been trying to find a good Chinese takeout place. Saw this when ordering delivery so decided to give it a try. I got the shredded chicken in garlic sauce and chicken lo mein. Delivery was easy and quick. The shredded chicken in garlic sauce was delicious! It does come with a side of white rice which wasn't mentioned when I was ordering online. It's not on the spicy side but still had a lot of flavor. The lo mein was ok, it seemed a little too salty and had a slightly weird aftertaste. Overall it's a good place to grab a quick dinner, or if you're craving Chinese.

Mango Tango
Anna O.

This place was so good! The service was great, staff were super attentive and friendly. This is such a cute restaurant! Highly recommend the mango tango roll.

Bug shell on my sushi

I found a bug shell laying on top of my spicy tuna roll. So gross. This is my go-to place and I cannot feel more betrayed

Excellent service, the food was great and not outrageously priced (considering the area), and looked amazing inside! The decor and the lighting is makes it a cozy and intimate place but also great for a large party as well We booked our experience during restaurant week, we love trying out new places and their restaurant week menu offered a little bit of everything. We got some champagne to start, ordered some cocktails after, and the food started rolling in. We started with a caviar bump, and moved into the beetroot salad (which was amazing and so flavorful, we both wanted more), had the Tataki/carpaccio style followed by the nigiri/sashimi, then for the main course - the winner/volcano lobster roll. We didn't want our night to end there, there were so many great options in the menu so we opted to hold off on our desert and ordered some more food We got the sushi dinner dish to share along with the lavender smoked salmon Tataki style. Definitely could've eaten more after but decided to end our night after that, and had our ice cream to finish the night (matcha ice cream and raspberry sorbet) The service was 11/10, our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and all of the other waitstaff was extremely kind and was more than willing to help us with any questions or things we needed. The restaurant was very clean and they had nice bathrooms. The quality of the food was amazing and every dish had us hungry for more. This is definitely a place we'll be coming to again and will be recommending to everyone

As first timers, the menu is really overwhelming. Great for those who want a lot of options, but a lot of the rolls' descriptions were very similar. Our server was very friendly and helpful in guiding us through a few of her preferences/favorites. Everything we ended up ordering was good though nothing stood out as over the top. You are definitely paying for the vibe and ambiance here.

We ordered two types of sushi- the California Rolls and something called Maki which basically consist of tuna slices. The fish was absolutely fresh, and we enjoyed every bite.

For anyone seeking actual good sushi, I'd recommend looking elsewhere in Georgetown. The service was polite and the location was great, but that just can't make up for the food. The fish lacked the freshness and quality I'd expect even at a casual spot. The rice was bland and the rolls felt more like basic grocery-store sushi than something made with care. Portions were OK for the price, but the ambience was spartan and the overall experience fell short. I don't like being negative or writing bad reviews but Khin's truly is average at best. It might be okay for a college student looking for something quick and cheap, but it is not a legitimate sushi restaurant in the traditional sense.

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.

The bartender went out of their way to discuss with the chef vegan options to ensure we had a fully plant based meal. We started with the Clay & Craft soju flight. This was such a treat! We have never tried soju with such high alcohol proofs. It felt so upscale and unique. We shared the Onggi Lunch Jeongsik Set modified to be vegan. This was a great portion size of food to share among two people. The pajeon was my husband's favorite part of the meal. I enjoyed the vegan jigae the most. Overall there was no weak part of this meal and we did not leave a single morsel of food behind. I will note that the vegan bulgogi tasted almost identical to the bulgogi you can buy at Trader Joe's. We love that bulgogi so that is not a problem. It was just funny to taste something very familiar to us. The rest of the meal was new flavors for me, and reminded my husband of his 4 years living in Korea. My husband has not had authentic Korean flavors made vegan before so this was a major treat. We saved room for dessert and enjoyed this soft nutty sweet treat. It was the perfect finish to a delicious lunch. Thank you Onggi for being so vegan friendly! We cannot wait to enjoy another meal here.
