I literally ached for sushi one evening after business meetings. I needed something fresh yet light on the stomach. My body called for protein, and not the four-legged kind. The TripAdvisor app showed Momo only a five-minute walk from my hotel, so off I went in search of satisfaction. I arrived right about 6 PM, a kind of in-between time for most restaurants in Alexandria. The dinner crowds would show up soon. The sushi bar was empty, so I gladly accepted a seat. Chef Sam and his assistant worked in a rhythm to deliver the best quality fish in style. I had a front-row seat.I ordered tako (octopus), yellowfin belly, tuna belly, and shrimp nigiri style, and a special snapper as sashimi. The miso soup was tasty and energizing. A Sapporo beer complemented the lot of flavors and textures. For less than $40, you can feast like an emperor. Smiles and great service add up to a winning combination when you're jonesing for some Japanese hospitality in Alexandria.

Was here for late dinner after arriving into DCA on a evening flight. Was staying at a nearby hotel and this was one of the few restaurants still open within short walking distance after 9 pm (they close at 10). Was pleasantly surprised at the choice of different Asian dishes and honestly skeptical if any one restaurant can do Japanese, South East Asian and Chinese all in the right way. Ordered the curry puff (very good - reminds me of the ones from Singapore - not found anywhere else here in the US) and dumplings (ordinary, not bad). Did not venture to try any other dishes. Service was good and prompt. Will return for a quick bite. Food is reasonably priced.

Ate here for a lunch and a dinner while attending a conference. Prices are comparable to other in-hotel restaurants, but not too high. Our server for dinner one night was great. Food well prepared and served in decent time. Itâs a good option if you just donât want to go out, because the hotel really isnât near hardly any other restaurants.
4. Nasime

An exquisite evening to celebrate our anniversary was supported by the delightful food of Nasime! The fixed price menu delights from beginning to end and is reflective of seasonal food. I loved the noodle soup with clams and duck. The broth was so flavorful. My husband loved the sashimi perfectly fresh. We both loved the blood orange sorbet. Our waitress was very sweet and gave us a champagne split for our dessert. Nasime is small so definitely call for reservations. You want be disappointed. Itâs as good as any Japanese restaurant Iâve visited, even those in Japan!

5. Zento Japanese Restaurant

Every so often, we in the office get the hankering for sushi. Zento is our go-to place on those days. They have a few bento-box specials at lunch, and a few sushi combo specials, as well as the full a la carte sushi menu. We've never had a bad lunch here. It can get crowded fast (we try to arrive about 11:50) and when full, it is quite loud (no sound-absorbing surfaces on the walls or ceiling.) But delish, and with friendly & attentive staff!
