Suggestions for Japanese Restaurant near Mount Vernon Square, Washington

Gwynn T. • June 3, 2023Japanese food court with three restaurants, so make reservations at Dear Sushi. It’s some of the best sushi in town and the omakase experience is surprisingly affordable.

Rachel L. • March 13, 2020Serving Japanese style pizza and pasta (wafu) this is a must try!

ISC C. • July 22, 2018HIYASHI CHUKA (Spicy Miso dressing, Chashu, ramen, egg, corn, cucumber, wakame, tomatoes, bean sprouts, arugula, carrots, ginger, shredded nori)

Matthew D. • August 21, 2021Get the Omakase, and the pairing is worth it.

Isa L. • August 12, 2023Was there once and had mediocre sushi. Stopped by today wearing a v neck t-shirt & black jeans. Was told I could not eat at the bar because they “have a dress code.” Never going back there again.

Alex L. • August 20, 2021You’re most likely here for sushi & it’s all fantastic! Hygienic covers are placed over the food on the conveyer belt. Ramen for $7.50 per bowl is also worth a try! Great for eating with a group!

Shiri L. • February 3, 2017Happy hour until 7 everyday! Fantastic ramen selection.

Akash J. • January 15, 2013Cash only, but worth it if you're looking for the best "chicken over rice" dish in the food court. Made to order and tasty.

Rachel C. • July 29, 2018The spicy creamy vegan ramen is DELICIOUS, and super filling too.

Rob B. • March 14, 2013Excellent menu for happy hour with reduced price sushi items. Sushi items are outstanding and regular menu is worth checking out. Downside: limited to no drink specials

Rob Z. • March 9, 2019Best sushi I’ve had in DC 🏆

Amanda B. • February 5, 2018Great ramen for great prices! The shoyu is a very bold broth with a lot of flavor. The regular size ($13) will definitely leave you full, but they offer small bowls for $8 as well!

Nash P. • December 15, 2018Omakase. This sister restaurant to Daisuke Nakazawa’s (a former apprentice of Jiro) original in NYC serves up some of the best sushi you can find in DC. Sit at the sushi bar and enjoy the experience.

Jason W. • May 19, 2010Try the KalBi Roll. Outstanding!

Antoinette M W. • March 17, 2010Udon here is delicious and a great value! It's large enough to share or save for lunch the next day.

Kaz K. • July 15, 2017Jo chirashi is $28 for lunch. Great, authentic sushi restaurant with a clean, understated look.

Mimi N. • January 10, 2017Delicious take on Chinese-style ramen and good soup dumplings! Definitely a place worth coming back to try the different flavors and a good deal for the Chinatown area.
