Its really hard to rate Susheria and hover between 3 stars and 4 stars. Went with 4 stars due to excellent service and a great ambience. Came on a Thursday night for dinner and was surprised to find an empty restaurant (not usually a good sign). We were super late to our reservation but we're seated immediately as it wasn't busy. Our server came over immediately and walked us through some favorites on the menu and took our drink order. Our server was SO nice. She was bubbly, warm, and smiley all night and really helped us make food and drink decisions. I had la morada to drink which is a pisco sour with chicha, it was fabulous! To eat, me and my date shared seaweed salad and lemongrass chicken, both good. For our mains we each had a sushi roll. Both were good but nothing to write home about. Had the matcha mochi for dinner which was a bit of a let down, not much taste. While the food itself was pretty tasty, the prices didn't at all match the quality of what was served. It was super expensive and the portions were on the smaller end. Each sushi roll was $20-$25 and there is just sooooo much better sushi in the city for cheaper. I actually thought the food overall was pretty good but the value isn't there. The ambience was wonderful. They play a mix of house music and Latin music that is loud enough to create a good vibe but not so loud you can't talk. I could hear my date perfectly without needing to yell. The restaurant was mostly empty with only 3 other tables so I can imagine it might easily be too loud with the music and a full restaurant. Left early because they closed for a private event. Overall Susheria is good with awesome drinks, decent food, and super friendly helpful staff. The prices are more than its worth so if you come for dinner, come for the vibes, not for a proper sit down dinner or stick to happy hour (only at the bar). read more

Attempted to go to my usual- SHOTO- but it was closed for a private event. So we went to the Jefferson (Quill) for a drink and to come up with a plan B. The concierge at the Jefferson recommended this place. Came here Sunday night. We started with edamame and kale salad. Edamame was perfect. The salad had too much vinegar. Then we got the mixed sashimi plate. Very good and very fresh. We also ordered more for after but it came quickly! We got the Hamachi yellowtail tiraditos. It was delicious but a bit too spicy for me. We also got the Tuna (tokushina maguro) tiraditos and they were good. The Tenno roll was the show stopper. That was one of the best rolls I've had in a long time. I will return just for that roll. We ended with Mochi ice cream in three flavors. Yummy! Service was ok. Loved the ambiance. Place was pretty empty on a Sunday night. read more

Went with a group. Service and most of the food was good, but some of the food and the ambiance overall was lacking. The wagyu steak roll tasted like licking a piece of burnt charcoal. The rice and seaweed were burned to a crisp. We sat next to a table where one of the patrons was on speakerphone talking for at least 20 minutes and would interrupt our server when she was talking to us. I'd definitely recommend Kyojin in Georgetown over here. read more

My wife and I came here for Happy Hour which they also do on Sunday after the Kennedy Center. We got a mix of appetizers, sushi, and poke as well as a variety of 3 cocktails and a beer on the happy hour menu we both loved. The food is pricy but with happy hour we saved quite a lot. They also take InKind which you can save money on too especially with the Costco gift cards. The service was very friendly as well. The decor is quite modern and swanky. We look forward to returning! read more

I really wanted to love this place -- the food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great, and our server, Gabriella, was initially attentive. We had a reservation, were seated on time, and truly enjoyed ourselves for the first hour. I want to give credit where it's due. Toward the end of our meal, I ordered a hookah -- and only then was I told by Gabriela that our reservation was limited to two hours, and that if we wanted to stay for the hookah, we'd need to move to the bar. She also stated that if I ordered a hookah, I wouldn't be able to finish it because she would have to rush us out of the table. At that point, we had only been there for one hour. I said that was fine, even though I had no idea there was a two-hour limit -- it's not posted anywhere in the restaurant, and it's not listed on OpenTable. I agreed with the understanding that it's a business, we were done eating since we had ordered a lot of food, they need the table, but that she would also make sure to accommodate us at the bar. She mentioned that there was only one seat available at the moment, but said she'd ask the bartender if someone was about to leave soon so we wouldn't be left without a seat. Then she asked if I wanted to close out the check -- I agreed, trusting that she would come back after checking on the seating. But she never did. Instead, Gabriela began actively avoiding eye contact and serving other tables around us. After waiting and feeling increasingly uncomfortable, we finally just got up and left. I stopped her on the way out to explain how I felt -- that she said she'd come back and didn't, and that from my perspective, it felt like we were kicked out after paying. She claimed she thought I was going to find my own seat at the bar, which is not what she originally said. The worst part is that this all happened after such a good experience. It was my friends birthday! It left a bad taste -- not because we couldn't stay longer, but because we were disregarded and dismissed without clarity or follow-up. That moment changed everything. I can't in good faith recommend this place, because I would be mortified if any of my friends were treated the way we were. Hospitality matters just as much as the food -- and unfortunately, that was lacking when it counted. read more

I had higher hopes for Susheria! Unfortunately, this place turned out to be another overhyped and overpriced viral spot on social media. I went on a Wednesday for happy hour and the prices didn't seem to be discounted much. The servers and bartenders weren't very friendly or personable. Our calamari was undercooked and the sauce was just okay. The sushi was mediocre at best. The place is pretty small so if you do go try and get there early. They do have live jazz on Wednesday's but I personally don't see what the hype is about. There's other places with better sushi, prices, and vibes! I likely wouldn't go back. My friend and I spent $123 on "happy hour". No thanks read more

The tuna on crispy rice was really good! Along with service ! This is a nice place for a solo dinner or a date night with your partner!

OVERALL: food is amazing- great blend of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. Pretty interior. Great pre/post dinning spot for the Kennedy Center and general Georgetown area. FOOD: We had ceviche mixto, sushi Fresco, miso soup, and one of the bowls along with a few cocktails. The sushi was fresh, the miso soup was flavorful, and the bowl was so filling. 10/10 recommend. SERVICE: We made a same day reservation and still got a nice table. We went before a Kennedy Center concert and it wasn't too full. We were seated and served promptly. The waitress was helpful with ordering and explaining the menu. Our friend's birthday was just a few days earlier. We mentioned it to the waitress and she brought out a slice of carrot cake with a candle and the words happy birthday written in chocolate letters on the plate! VENUE: dark room with dim lighting that creates a nice intimate space. The venue is huge with different seating options. read more

Way overpriced. The interior is nice, dark, and moody, and the service was decent. The food was okay, though my guest and I unfortunately got food poisoning afterward. I did enjoy the edamame dumplings. read more

This place is a whole vibe on Wednesdays! The atmosphere is sexy, the DJ was on point, the food was delicious! Service was quick and efficient. They have hookah too. The crowd was a mix of late 20s-40. Everyone looked good and enjoyed themselves. It's best to make a reservation as this place gets packed. They have happy hour from 5-7pm as well. I'll definitely be returning real soon. read more

I came here after work to meet my friend to reconnect after I had been away for a month. Parking is hard bc it's Georgetown so I suggest rideshare OR getting here early to find parking! It's hip and trendy. We came for happy hour 4-7! And got their happy hour menu. The poke was fresh and tasty! I was definitely full. The rolls were very nice too. It's Peruvian and jap fusion so to speak. My friend loves their rolls and they are definitely good - but definitely not something you'd find in Japan - hence the fusion. Just making sure you know what you're signing up for!! And service was pretty attentive. It was unique that our water drinking apparatus was a little sake sized shot cup? We just kept having to refill but that was okay. Maybe we could've asked for a bigger cup. read more

The vibes are nice but if you're not a big hookah person this may not be the place for you. The sushi was okay. The chicha spicy roll was good. I liked the ebu tempura. The churrasco roll is literally fries in a roll with the thinest slice of ribeye on top covered in chimichurri. It was kind of dry and flavorless not even the soy sauce could save it. read more

I stopped by here for happy hour drinks and food yesterday before an event in Georgetown. The atmosphere is ok. It's very dark and not really my style. Not saying its bad, just didn't suit me. The bar service was pretty good. I had to wait a little while to get served as the Manager was educating the bartenders on some stuff. I felt he could've waited until I was at least served a drink first. For a cocktail I had the Umami, which was pretty disgusting. I thought it was a glass of water when it came out and the flavor was pretty gross. The Lychee Martini was solid. For food, the Special Poke was delicious and only around $17. When I buy a Poke Bowl at a Poke place I pay about double so this is a good deal. The Ceviche Mixto was also pretty good. The happy hour food is definitely a pretty good bargain and the portions are generous. read more

This is one of these restaurants we've wanted to try for a while but every time we were in the vicinity it's always during lunch and they only serve dinner - from 4, HH from 5-6 pm. This time made a special trip and got there for early dinner. The place has a night club feel, dimly lit inside, with an impressive looking bar and decor has a lot of black and gold and mirrors. There are several sections each Up a couple of steps, and now they also have a front patio running the length of the street. Food is pretty good, we had cerviches, spicy rolled sushi, fried calamari, fried chicken dumplings (very small dry fried dumplings pricy for the portion). They don't use paper menus anymore so you need to scan a code for the menu - wifi Is available with password. They also apply a fee (about 4%) if not paying cash. read more

I was late to the Susheria Party but I'm here now..lol! Who doesn't like dining in Georgetown on a warm winter's night? I know I do and because I'm a sushi lover, this upscale sushi restaurant hit the spot! Ambience is extremely important to me and Susheria definitely has that covered and then some. This place is modern with cool tunes playing inside and out to add to your dining experience! For a minute there, I thought I was in the City that never Sleeps..lol. With reservations, we were seated immediately eventhough the restaurant was packed. I wish other restaurants in the DMV would take note!! The food was outstanding! We had calamari as an appetizer. For dinner, we had the Sebastian Roll (Shrimp and Crab), The Buenos Aires Roll (Crab and Salmon) and my favorite, the Trio Roll (Shrimp, Lobster and Crab). The sushi was so loaded that regretfully we could not finish it all. The drinks and service were top notch, with constant friendly attention throughout our meal. Given my 5 star rating, you see I loved my first Susheria visit but it most definitely won't be my last!! read more

One star for the ambiance. And service was ok. But all of the food was nasty: salmon belly nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, tuna belly nigiri, ceviche Mercado, the calamari (some of the lightest calamari I've ever seen), and even the spicy edamame. After being disappointed by all those items, my table and I couldn't stomach anything else. The Hato cocktail was ok. And for the price, you'd think I went to Ruth's Chris. I won't be back. read more

First off, shout out to our server Pat! She was awesome and made our experience even more enjoyable. I don't know about anyone else but I love good ole restaurant week! There was a small wait despite having a reservation but considering how busy/packed it was, I understood. Was craving sushi but ended up trying their ribeye lomo saltado (suggestion from Pat) and it did not disappoint. I'm actually debating on ordering some for dinner tonight, lol. I ordered the miso soup, delicious. Salmon tiradito, it was ok...missing some flavor. The lomo saltado, very good! Raspberry cheesecake, yummy! I also tried the Passiflora sour but with mango instead. B O M B. I ended up drinking two. Great experience. I would definitely recommend this establishment. read more

Came here with some friends and it was bombbbb! 12/10 recommend. Every single roll we got was so good, the pork gyozas were really good too. We wanted the chicken ones but they were out of I got a lychee martini and it was sooo good. Love that they offer hookah, it is a separate vendor but it was really good. The service was really good and the vibes were 10/10. We came on a Sunday but I hear the dj comes on Wednesdays. It's a little tight and not that many tables so if you go on a busy night I would get reservations read more

The food was ok- not bad but not the best sushi I've had. We are visiting from out of town and had no idea that this restaurant turns into a night club on wednesday nights with a dress code and 21+ only. Would be nice if this was more clearly stated on yelp so that families can avoid. We were seated outside but staff acted like we were a burden. read more

Good sushi and cocktails. Gets a bit loud after about 8pm. Service was fast and the waiter was very friendly.

Food was okay, service was worse. Setting is calming with dim lighting but music did not match the setting at all. It took us about 10-15 minutes to get seated with a reservation. It took another 10-15 mins to get service that was after flagging down the manager. He then asked if he could get us drinks but we hadn't even seen a menu- of course it's online and we had to search it up ourself. He could've avoided the awkward tension by offering to go over some of the famous drinks while we pulled up the menu. Instead he just offered to "come back" after knowing we had been sitting unattended for a while. When we finally ordered the server made a remark as if we ordered a lot of food "you will probably not need anymore food after this" who gets to say? Am I eating too much food for you? Is this not a restaurant? I'm confused. They offered us a free dessert but I wasn't interested plus nothing was listed on their online menu. So to avoid wasting my breath we just called it a night. Wouldn't recommend at all or will I be returning. I would not recommend going during busy times either since they seem to not be able to handle it well! read more

Not good but not bad. Immediate bad taste in mouth related to our server. Awkward greeting when we came in and she just seemed annoyed we were there. Food was okay. We got spicy edamame, little flavor not spicy at all. We also got 3 sushi rolls all were good. For drinks we got the litchi and old fashioned both were delish but not worth $20 and we asked for hot sake with the dessert we got (raspberry cheesecake) which never came. No one checked on us during our meal to see if everything tasted okay. Also, it was our wedding anniversary which was listed when we made our reservation but nothing was done/said about it. Normally this wouldn't matter but why ask if there is not perk, idk just weird? Would try again and sit at the bar just so we didn't get the same server. Overall moderate experience. read more

So after a month of being inside, I'm finally back to my good ol yelping self and this time I'm coming with some goodies. Listen, folks! When I say that Susheria is the place you want, not need, but want to attend....Believe me! This place offers ambiance, friendly service, delicioussssssssssss food, and some amazing cocktails! I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed every moment...Here is a breakdown: My cousin and I order a few items for the table: First- Calamari! A burst of freshness, spices, and FLAVOR! These calamari are by far some of the BEST I've had in the DMV! Yep, BEST! Fried to perfection I cannot get passed the taste it brought to the table! Scrumptious!!!!!!!!!!! Next-The seafood trio: shrimp tempura had a love affair with lobster and crab and the outcome was MAGICAL! Food presented to satisfy every part of your tastebuds! Fresh, flavorful, and filling! Do you see the portion????! From here we tried the double crab. Now, it's a flavor you have to get used to because the aioli sauce wasn't the best on top of it and it made the dish a little bitter. It wasn't terrible, just wasn't my thing. Main course (which we ended up packing up) the chili honey chicken!!!!!!! Honey! It's sweet and packs a powerful punch from that chili sauce! Spicyyyyy but SO goooooooooood! The rice however, was soggy and it killed the combination. But, the chicken and added vegetables made up for soggy rice. Drinks: nothing major, just that their bartender knows how to mix drinks just right! We did the cosmos with vodka and it made the night feel even more special. Service: Can I take a moment to celebrate Iisly for her high level of service and hospitality. From start to finish, Iisly was informative, descriptive with every dish, and super funny and friendly. This woman deserves a raise for her amazing service and how she managed several tables all with a smile. 10/10 for me! Minus some taste point in some areas, this place made my night SPECIAL! I will be back again-probably with a date! Seriously! Opened to date Listen, folks, support good businesses! Support this restaurant! read more

I was between 3-4 out of 5, because we were happy with the drinks and food, but service was really poor and slow. As in we actually had to walk up to the bar and place our order for drinks because the server was nowhere to be found. However, what spiraled downward for me was the fact that for simply a party of 2, they automatically charged a gratuity of 20%, without even letting us know about it in advance. Luckily, I caught it and I took it up with them and they apologized and removed it. I just think that that's ridiculous given how terrible the service was and legally, they cannot do that either. I really hope that they can revise their sketchy way of business because I believe they have potential as an establishment, but not quite there yet. read more

Had such a great time here! The vibe was super fun with great music and an awesome atmosphere. We tried the Georgetown, Amazónico, Churrasco and Sebastian--all were so fresh and full of flavor.

She really made the experience even better. Can't wait to come back--highly recommend! read more

Solid place for Nikkei-Peruvian cuisine. They have good selections of sushi, and while they're priced high, the happy hour deals do make this place place a reasonably-priced. The ceviche here is good, having had both the ceviche mixto and the tuna nikkei (which isn't too different from the tuna tataki you might get elsewhere). The Sebastian roll was also very good, with tempura crab stick, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber, pickle radish, spicy mayo & eel sauce. I plan to come back to try the criollo side of the Peruvian cuisine in contrast with the Nikkei side of the Peruvian cuisine read more

After our cruise docked at the harbor, my friend and eye were looking for a quick bite and came across a very cute and modern restaurant located in Georgetown. We had no reservations but there a few seats at the bar available and the hostess told us they were open and boy am I glad we decided to stop in. We originally ordered the amazonico and the Georgetown rolls which were soooo good. I'm a sucker for plantains and nine times out of ten, if something on the menu has it, I'm getting it. After eating both these and being shocked at how good they were, we decided to order one more and got the volcano roll. I wasn't sure how good it be, but the risk was definitely worth it, as it was top 2! I believe the bartender we ordered through forgot to put in the volcano roll so it took quite a long time to come to the table, but we were comped with a free drink. I would definitely recommend it in the Georgetown area and can't wait to go back and try the dinner menu! read more
