One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the DMV area. I’ve been here twice and everything I’ve tried is delicious. I can’t wait to return! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View menu

Charging money for a little extra sauce on the side is ridiculous and honestly kinda ruined our experience. When you spend almost $80 on sushi, you’d think they could offer a little spicy mayo without an extra charge. disappointing.

The food here is always incredibly fresh and tastes amazing. The staff is very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality of the food. I love the Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll. Highly recommend eating here! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We came for dinner on a winter Thursday and were seated right away. The cocktails were good, and the specialty rolls were really creative. We enjoyed the shishito pepper appetizer, and shared the Old Bae, Black Magic, New Spicy Tuna and a really tasty roll with Chilean sea bass that I forget the name of! We'll definitely come back. Note, they do not take reservations. Service: Dine in View menu

I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant, visiting twice and enjoying both occasions. The Green Monster sushi was a standout—delicious and full of flavor, featuring avocado and shrimp. The crispy spicy tuna was also quite good, though not the best I've ever had. The California roll was exceptional, ranking among the best I've tried. I couldn’t resist trying the pork bun, and it was absolutely delightful, even though I usually don't eat pork. Our meal included six rolls and one appetizer, totaling $89 before tip. Overall, I’d rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 out of 5.

My server, Karin, was incredibly attentive and offered enthusiastic menu recommendations when I asked for suggestions. I kicked off my meal with the Duroc Pork Belly Bun. I’m not a fan of watermelon, so I hesitated when I saw watermelon radish listed in the dish. Fortunately, I decided to go for it anyway, and I’m so glad I did— it was fantastic! Next, I tried the Green Monster, a signature sushi roll, and it did not disappoint. It was packed with all my favorites: shrimp, shiitake, tuna, avocado, and spicy mayo. Overall, I'm really glad I chose this place and I look forward to returning whenever I'm back in town!

TRUST ME! I consider myself a sushi connoisseur : This is my favorite dish and I am pretty spoiled after trying sushi by Daisuke Nakazawa who was apprenticed to Jiro Ono. I tried most of the places in MD and I can assure you that Kenaki is the local cream of the crop! The fish is always fresh and the flavors compliment each other exquisitely. Although, the prices are on the higher end than other places around, it’s worth every penny. If you are a sushi aficionado like me, you would definitely appreciate this restaurant.
