He walked me through the options and ordering was a breeze. The price point is a little higher than your average all you can eat dining experience, but well worth it. I must've had 15 pieces of nigiri. Having worked in a sushi restaurant I can tell you it was phenomenally well done. Beautifully fresh and buttery and the sushi rice was perfect. The eel kamameshi was a highlight and came with a showing amount of eel. Finished everything off with the matcha tiramisu and a cup of green tea. I won't need to eat for days. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you Kay and team!

First off, let me just say.... If I'm honest, whenever I…read moreshow up to an AYCE I'm always skeptical with the quality of the food, especially when it comes to sushi but wow, I was blown away how great it was for AYCE. The set- up and the ambiance is very comfortable and sleek/modern with the main sushi chefs in the middle and the tables around them. The tables have waiters and a tablet at the table like most hot pot/kbbq places and you can order everything off of there. I have only been here once and wanted to try to low tier without going "all in" on the top tier option of diamond without knowing how the basics would taste. Let me say if the bottom tier was as good as it was, I'm excited to come back to try the next tier! Anyway, the basic tier already comes with a lot of sushi options and should be enough for those who are craving just sushi. All of the cuts of nigiri was great, all tender with great flavor, but what stood out to me the most was actually the yellowtail, super buttery and great flavor. The eel was also a top choice! All the rolls were good basic to the fancier ones, I would say that most of the bang for the buck would be the nigiri. The rolls are good but a little too much rice for me personally. The appetizers, didn't spend too much time on them but the chicken karaage was solid and the seaweed salad was my two favorite. Overall, super solid for the price and I'd totally want to go again to try more of their options! 100% recommend!

It was super filling! The miso soup and the dim sum were both very good, and the nigiri was good. My only real critique on my food was that the shrimp tempura was a bit tough. My mom got the salmon box and thought the salmon was alright as well. The whole meal was good overall, though there are other spots in the area I'd personally prefer to go to. As for the atmosphere, we sat outside, and it is a great spot to people-watch while you eat. The staff was great as well! Another huge plus is that there is plenty of paid parking right behind the restaurant, which makes it really convenient to visit the shops and spots around here.

Walking in on a Friday and being the only people in there should have been a sign. Service was fine, ambiance a little dark and not exciting. The sushi- the sushi was by all means gross. We had 4 different rolls and there was no distinct taste. All ingredients were mushy and creamy with no real structure to the rolls at all. The rice was hard as though it had been sitting out. We were extremely disappointed and couldn't barely stomach the rolls. They looked beautiful but just extremely mushy. We can't say we would return. Sorry ;/

Very cute and inviting, great service, and awesome food. I'm pretty simple and didn't want anything too heavy, so I settled on the Yakisoba with chicken. I later learned that our waitress prefers it with shrimp, so next time I'll know! I could definitely see this becoming my little solo date spot, a cute place to meet up with girlfriends, or a cozy date night with your boo or beau. Cheers!

The waitress (so sweet) made a few alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options (it was late afternoon). I got the Seared Sakana which was a freaking 10/10. The options are salmon, tuna, and yellow tail--i asked for spicy tuna instead and they accommodated! It was soooooooooooo good. Melt in your mouth delicious. Also! Before the food came out, the sushi chefs plopped a plate of simple mini California rolls for us to eat while waiting. Free of charge of course. My partner got the Gyu-Don and it was also delicious. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because ppl who came after us got their food before my partner got his Gyu-Don; seemed like the kitchen forgot? So i got my roll before he got his meal, but after we mentioned it, it came out a few mins later. Definitely a yummy place, though. The atmosphere is light, it's very clean, and the service was great other than the lateness of the food which i blame the kitchen for lol. Highly recommended and would definitely come back.

We came to Toryumon on a Saturday afternoon because of its lofty Yelp rating and then were…read morepleasantly surprised to discover they had an all-you-can-eat option. Toryumon wasn't crowded and there was inexpensive street parking close by. We quickly realized that Toryumon's all-you-can eat is head and shoulders above your usual Asian buffet restaurants for three reasons: your food is cooked to order, Toryumon has great recipes, and lastly, they use quality ingredients. Service was fabulous. Lots of options on the all-you-can eat memu. We started out with miso soup that was rich, delicious and had just the right amount of seaweed and finely diced tofu. The kanji salad was outstanding, the best I've ever come across. We loved the pork gyoza, ceviche and shumai. I also loved the beef hibachi, which came with vegetables, fried rice, and a most delicious dipping sauce. I'm not sure how they prepared it, but the endamame was especially tasty. The agu dashi was different than we expected. Usually it comes in broth, but Toryumon's agu dashi was fried tofu squares with an excellent dipping sauce. The spider and double spicy rolls were decent, but were shaped too large and in a little rough around the edges in appearance. Flavorwise, they were still good. We were a bit disappointed that they had run out of the chocolate and vanilla mochi dessert, but we settled for the matcha mochi which was good.

Loved the creative cocktails and every appetizer we tried was insanely unique and delicious. I am still salivating over their edamame 4 months later! We also took the plunge and ordered the biggest sushi assortment, unknowingly ordering a boat to our table. They were awesome, fresh, and flavorful. Too much for us to finish at dinner so we also had leftovers. Servers were very attentive. Since visiting, we have ordered takeout from Love On The Run and it was VERY good.

The table got à la cart nigiri and they received large portions of fresh fish. The toro is great here. I ordered the omakase. While it had a cool concept of "old vs new school" methods of preparing the sushi. I ended up liking the simple flavors so next time I'll just go with the à la cart menu. The non sushi dishes were unremarkable. I found the omakase to be of poor value because the non sushi dishes were bland and uninteresting, and I was so hungry after. The thing that I couldn't get over was the rice. The rice was large kernels that tasted kind of like brown rice and had an odd texture. It did not stick together well and was falling apart when you picked it up. It was so distracting. Next time I will only order sashimi.

There were other good deals like the $2.50 draft kirin which is cheaper than a soft drink. I was able to find street parking right in front of the restaurant, but I'm sure on a weekend it may be harder to find. The service was very friendly but a little slow. The yaki shabu mountain looked like a lot but it really wasn't. If it wasn't for the marinated meat, I would have been able to finish everything. The meat was a bit too salty for me. I didn't try any of their sauces bc it needed no more. I also got a cold tofu dish which was refreshing. For dessert, I got the Lady M crepe cake with vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream scoop was pretty small and had a lot of ice crystals as if it had been pre-scooped and left in the freezer. The crepe cake was as expected delicious. There is a Gyu-Kaku app that you can download and sign up for which will give you some points and a $10 off for $30 spent. You are able to earn points for future use as well. I think the value was fair for what I got. Fyi there is poor reception in the restaurant. No wifi either. Ambiance inside is dimly lit for the tables, but by the bar you get a window and more lights.

Another good find!…read more We are surprised this place was empty when we get there. The food was really good! We ordered the Tonkatsu Curry and for anyone who loves Coco Ichibanya in Japan, this is the closest we found here in DMV area. It was SO GOOD! We will go back to just have that again. For the sushi, there are one from the order that didn't fit for our taste buds. We liked most the two sushi from the left (including the eel) those are really good. The service was on point and the place is really nice. It could cater from small to big groups. They only have indoor seatings. While for the parking you can ask them for ticket or to validate if needed.

We came here on a recent Saturday afternoon…read more FYI, there is a parking garage in back of the restaurant and parking is free on the weekend. At other times, Takohachi will validate your parking. We were the only customers. We liked that the front side of the restaurant is all windows, so with sunshine streaming in, the restaurant had a warm and cheery feel. We were a little overwhelmed when were given like four different menus. We started out with the pork belly appetizer, which was probably our best dish of the afternoon. We also ordered the spider roll. Takohachi's spider roll comes with soft-shell crab, avocado, crab and fish roe. It was pretty good though the roll slices seemed fragile and started to fall apart. We ordered some kind of tonkatsu "bento box". It came with an excellent chicken katsu (loved the crunchy breading), udon, rice and a simple salad. This entrée also came with these interesting rice "balls" that were rice with a toasted slightly sweet exterior. I also ordered a toasted rice ball. It's what you think a toasted rice ball would be, white rice in ball that's been toasted. No additional ingredients or flavorings. JP ordered a grilled whole sardine, which he liked. Service was friendly and attentive. We'll be back.
