The flavor and crunch on the crunchy Tuna was amazing. The Black Magic roll flavors were complex and fresh. I docked off one star because we could not sit at the sushi bar because there were plates from previous customers all around. The wait time was a bit longer than expected as it was slow.

The waiter was also extremely polite and friendly! The energy felt good! I ordered a cocktail called Crazy Mango but I didn't like it. It tasted like regular mango lemonade which is tasty but it wasn't the cocktail I thought based on the name. I did LOVE that they added fresh mango! That was surprising and special! I love when bars have real fruit, I just think the mix was a little off but for the price I get it! Now... the food, OMG nothing short of AMAZING! The Shrimp Pad Thai was SOOOOO flavorful! It's literally my new favorite place to get Thai! Especially if I'm craving Pad Thai! The Chicken Basil Fried was was one of the best I've had in DC! I mean top 5 FOR SURE! It was the perfect amount of spice (even with me asking for it be mild)! The shrimp spring rolls were the freshest I've ever had! The flavors were on point! I loved every dish! Next time I'll try a Martini or Margarita! Thai restaurants usually have the BEST drinks so I'll definitely have to go back to try more drinks and enjoy my favorite dishes! Definitely recommending to every foodie I know! It's PERFECT for a solo dates or first dates!!

The sushi is great and they have great prices on food and drinks for happy hour. The apps are great size portions for the price. The music is great and it's a vibe. H street in itself is a vibe, so try it out! Now as far as parking, you might have to spin the block a few times o look on the street, but it's work it. The only thing that brought the rating down is the service was slow in the beginning even though no me was in there. I think they expect you to order using the QR code, but I'm kind of old school, so it doesn't really work for me.

Solid spot for tasty poke, sushi, and noodle dishes in a cute, vibey restaurant in the heart of H…read moreStreet Corridor. I visited this spot for a quick Saturday dinner, and we loved this quaint little restaurant with its friendly staff and energetic pop music. My friend and I both ordered their poke, which was quite tasty; the fish was fresh and the rice was nice and warm, but I felt that the ratios were a bit off. The bowl was 80% rice, and, while I'm usually more than happy to just eat a bowl of plain rice, there wasn't quite enough flavor from the residual sauce or toppings to keep the simple carb interesting. If you're vegetarian, though, this spot is a great place to sample some fun, vegan-friendly Asian fusion dishes. Their menu features fun combos like the Dirty Vegan, a super flavorful vermicelli noodle dish with fired tofu and veggies. I don't think I'll get their poke again, but I'd love to come back and try some of their vegetarian menu items!

Very small place, and kinda hard to find. It's nestled into…read morethe neighborhood scenery, but it's worth finding. The appearance inside is not breathtaking, but it's very urban rustic and charming. The service is consistently excellent, from the servers to the bartender. The menu is not lengthy, but it's packed with flavor. Seating is very limited, so if you can get a reservation you may need one for dinner. Especially on a Friday or Saturday night. I've been here more than a few times, and it's always good.

I really enjoyed my experience at Toki Underground!…read more Toke Underground a small bar and restaurant in the H st corridor which seems to be most well known for its ramen offerings. We got there nice and early on a Friday to enjoy the happy hour which is available from 4-6 on weekdays. As a part of happy hour they had several cocktails and small bites for $10 or less. I had the pumpkin spice spritz and an order of the fried chicken bites - both were really really good. I'd order both items again. For awareness, they limit dining in to about an hour and a half - because the restaurant is fairly small, they want folks to make their seats available for other guests pretty quickly. They weren't rude about enforcing this time limit, but they definitely tell you up front and quickly gather your orders/plates to help move you though the meal quickly. This is a nice date spot - it's coziness would make for the perfect ambiance in you're looking to grab a bite with that special someone. Pro tip: Be careful not to walk past it! The signage outside isn't the best, so it's very easy to miss the door completely (as I did).

I ordered the udon noodles combo, spicy tuna, and spicy salmon. The spicy tuna, AND the spicy…read moresalmon tasted exactly the same. In fact, I think they gave me two orders of a regular tuna roll. Both orders were bland - no spiciness to them. But the sushi did not taste fishy and was a good consistency. The udon noodles were cooked well, but the flavor was lacking. Would I come back to this location? Sure if I'm really hungry. But if the food doesn't get better, the next one or two times I visit then I'd say it's not worth it.

Fuji Hibachi & Sushi recently opened so I gave it a try for lunch. While it's not a full service…read morerestaurant, there is a dining area for patrons to eat once their food is ready and two bathrooms for customers to use. The staff was very welcoming upon entry and was also very knowledgeable and informative when asked questions of their menu, how the food is prepared, etc. I ordered from the Hibachi Lunch Special and got Chicken and Salmon teriyaki with Vegetables and Fried Rice and a bowl of Mushroom Soup. The food was cooked to perfection and was cooked to order so it was nice and hot once I got home to eat it. I will certainly be returning to try more of Fuji Hibachi & Sushi as I was extremely pleased with my first meal! Two thumbs up, 5 out of 5 star rating!

The food is average but they give you plenty and I think it has a very pleasant, yes subtle, flavor to it. I ordered the chicken hibachi.

I've been in there three times, twice for food and once just to get a drink and everyone looks at you like deer in the headlights? But, for a quick hot meal this will do the job.

I recently was introduced to this food hall because their burger is really good. Since that first visit I've been back about 4x in a couple of months... and I don't live in this area. So this just goes to show how much I love it here. I love how much seating they have of all different sizes and forms. Booths, bar stools, coffee show style with small tables in between, a persona booth. Really anything you can think of. I've gone at various times during the day and it's always pretty easy to find a seat. I love that you can order from any of the eateries directly on your phone and then they'll bring it to you! The service has always been excellent. The pricing is similar to any other DC food hall/restaurant. Definitely check it out if you're ever in the SE area.

Went to this spot with a vegan friend and I was pretty disappointed…read more The appetizers tasted good, but they were SO greasy. I had grease running down my fingers. The sauce that came with them was actually quite good though! For the mains, my Mongolian beef was too dry and lacked flavor. Her noodles + fried chicken were pretty decent. We both ordered coffee. I had an ube flavored one and couldn't really taste the flavor, and she had a strawberry matcha but couldn't taste the matcha at all. Quantity wise, the food is great and the staff was super sweet :) but realistically, I wouldn't go here again.

I typically get the chickn fingers and I like all three sauces--the firecracker being my favorite. They are very crispy and texture is very similar to meat. I've had some of the bowls, like General tso, but I don't particularly like their rice, so I always opt for salad instead. The Dan Dan carbonara is scrumptious. The cashew base sauce is creamy but not too heavy and the plant based pork meat is a nice complement. I also enjoy sides like the brussel sprouts, broccoli and trolley fries. The fried cauliflower has a bit too much breading for me. They have great happy hour deals and food comes out relatively fast. Staff are always friendly!
