This place has the best variety of Japanese food and sushi in Clarendon. The combo deals are great and overall you get great quality and amount of food for a good price! It's a chill restaurant inside. It gets busy during lunch and dinner hours but otherwise it's quiet and relaxing and a great place for a sushi date.
Asahi is one of my go-to lunch spots in the courthouse area. Their lunch specials cannot be beat. I typically get their chicken teriyaki or shrimp teriyaki lunch special bento box, which comes with rice, vegetable tempura, fried gyoza, vegetable sushi, miso soup, and salad. All of that for less than $20! It's always delicious and fresh. The service is great and the ambiance is nice. I can't recommend them enough. You won't regret dining here.
Good Japanese option located right near the Court House AMC and metro. Service is always fast - no matter how close we cut it with our movie time and dinner plans, we always make it. Prices are fair, and they have combo specials for dinner that aren't crazy expensive, which is a nice change from some other local places. I've only had the sushi here, but everything looks good, and it's definitely my go-to choice when hanging around the movie theater.
Outstanding food and service!! We were in town for an extended weekend popped in one evening for dinner! Absolutely love our time. Great place. Super clean. Chill vibe.
The presentation of the rolls are really nice! Most are served on their boards and plated well. We came for dinner on a Tuesday night and were seated right away. I ordered the tiger roll and pacific roll. Both were good but my favorite was the tiger roll. Loved the shrimp tempura and it was very flavorful and filling. The signature rolls come with 8 pieces each. Service was good and our food came out quickly after ordering. You also get complimentary miso soup and a house salad with your order. Overall a great sushi stop.
