Chrissy WFebruary 16, 2014Incredible service and delicious food. We had the coconut yellow curry, Tokyo Dashi broth, sushi sampler, & double salmon roll and everything was perfect! Some of the best curry I've had in a while.
Megan DyerDecember 18, 2013Try one of crunchy shrimp rolls. So unique! They were delicious! Their California rolls were wonderful and my husband loved the smoked dragon fire.
Yana MyaskovskayaApril 9, 2013Their outdoor seating is top-notch. Try their fusion options (like the Chilean Sea Bass or the Crunchy roll series) for a unique dining experience!
Desi BjornOctober 13, 2012Seoul rolls are good if you like sweet and spicy or smoky Flavors. The double salmon rolls is more sweet than spicy. But both are good choices.
Amanda JayneMay 3, 2013They're really cool about separate checks here. They gave us 6 separate - no mistakes! And the food is tasty so that's cool too.
Frances St. CyrApril 15, 2013The dumplings are pretty terrible, but the salmon sashimi w green apples was fantastic. Typical and delicious Vietnamese spring rolls.
Angie HarmonJanuary 18, 2015Perhaps the best spicy salmon crunch roll in DC. They don't grind up the fish first.
Stephanie OrmeNovember 22, 2013Really fresh sushi, and cheap! Try the salmon skin roll for something different.
Angelica HuescaMay 26, 2013Looking for a Tuna Tartare or Tuna Tataki worthy of the same praise that Nobu NYC gets? Try Raku!!
Mike WilkinsonApril 7, 2010If you're meeting a friend here and they're late, just ask for a table for 1 and they'll set you immediately.
Ryan TaylorNovember 23, 2009Summer rolls, crispy calamari and Kirin. The makings of a perfect dinner.
Jay SollyNovember 6, 2010I'd say avoid the "pizza" with "pan-seared" tuna-- it's a shaky dish with flavors that just don't work.
