Kotobuki - Washington

I must say, dining at this restaurant made me feel like I’m back home in Japan. Despite the inconvenient location and the outdated indoor decor, I was very impressed by the quality of food. I had mackerel oshizushi and eel kamameshi. Both were so good that they could be served in Japan. I highly recommend trying the kamameshi, as you can’t eat this authentic Japanese dish anywhere in the DMV area, or even on the East Coast.

The restaurant is on the 2nd floor. Sushi is fresh and delicious. Overall quality of sushi is good. Waitress is also super polite. Try it.

Best sushi happy hour in DC and some of the best period. The best eel I?ve had, and definitely try the spicy white tuna roll. Amazing hidden gem.

One of my Japanese colleagues recommended this place as an authentic Japanese experience. I fully agreed!! Clam Kamameshi is a real deal. This place may not meet expectation of somewhat high-end sushi place. However, speaking of authentic flavor, this is the real place. Amazingly, the small side dishes come with Kamameshi offer a full flavor with umami. Definitely, will visit this place again and again.

Nice little authentic Japanese eatery. Chirashi and Unagidon were both excellent. Kamameshi is their real specialty, and it comes with sashimi and 3 side dishes. I do not recommend Chicken Kamameshi, though, unless you are OK with ground instead of diced chicken. Their sushi is also quite good in ingredients but a bit lacking in craftsmanship.
