Sushi AOI

Favourite little hideaway “mom and pop style” Japanese restaurant in DC. Laid back but food is authentic and super fresh. Recommend most of the menu as I havnt made my way through every item. Always a fav when I come to DC often dining here more than once during my stay.

Apologies for the photo quality! The salmon sushi here was so fresh, and the shiitake roll was so flavorful! They had gluten free soy sauce available which I really appreciated. Everyone who helped us was so kind. I'll come back here next time I'm in DC!

Cute presentation of sushi in a cozy restaurant. I think we ordered a dragon roll and a combo off the menu along with some chicken katsu curry. Everything was delicious. Service was on point. Would definitely be a regular spot if I lived here.

Super dry and overcooked katsu curry. I ordered the chicken katsu curry and the Philly roll. Chicken katsu was over cooked, super dry, and tough. The curry's flavor was ok, but it had large chunks of raw carrots that clearly weren't cooked in the curry as they were all crunchy. Finally for the Philly roll, the avocado was completely black on the peeled side. Flavor was only ok, but clear the avocado sat out. Will not ordering from here again.

Great sushi and great staff, i really liked the food and the service there. Highly recommended
