Matsutake Sushi

Airport sushi with restaurant style seating. Got teriyaki chicken to settle me down during flight. Food was fine, service was fast, prices were airport prices. One of the better options at IAD I think.

This was one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences I’ve ever had. When the bill came, the staff leaned in way too close — almost hovering — and stared directly at my receipt as I was deciding on the tip. It felt like I was being watched and pressured, with zero privacy. When I tried to choose a custom tip amount, she cut me off and said, “People usually just give 18%,” without even letting me finish. It honestly felt like mafia-style pressure, and I’ve never felt so uncomfortable or disrespected at a restaurant before. As for the food — my brother liked the curry, but the sushi roll portion was shockingly small. Like, embarrassingly small for the price. This experience left me feeling upset and even a bit shaken. I hope management takes this seriously, because no one should be mad

Food comes out quick , but both miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen was a it on the bland side. Tempura udon was also a bit too salty like they boiled the noodles on the broth instead of pouring the soup into boiled noodles .

There are many great food options at National Airport. For a sit down experience, go to Matsutake Sushi. The wait for a table on a Wednesday afternoon in June wasn't long. Service is speedy. If you like cream cheese, get the Buffalo Shrimp sushi. It's shrimp tempura with cream cheese, sriracha, mayo, and a few other items. It's tasty! I enjoyed their Sauvignon Blanc for a refreshing option before a long flight to Seattle.

Great place for sushi at the airport. The service is quick and efficient. For a starter, I had the crab wontons which were delicious and had more filling than others I’ve had. For my main, I choose the Chesapeake roll, the crab and cream cheese were excellent. Good drink selection and don’t forget to get some Sake.
