Shanghai Tokyo Cafe - Washington

This place is my favorite sushi spot in the city. Consistently, everything is FRESH and great quality. I’ve eaten here about 10 times and not had a bad food experience once. Always delicious, always presented well, always consistent flavor and taste. I will say, in terms of customer service, that the staff can be a little...short tempered when you go to order, but for the quality of the food, this is easily overlooked. Id recommend looking at the menu in advance. I’d also recommend getting sushi there, though there are many equally delicious options available (pad Thai, sweet and sour chicken, many others) because it’s one of the better sushi spots in the city. Spicy maki combo platter is my go-to.

Nothing fancy here, but it's inexpensive, tasty and reliable. Every order anyways arrives the same: safe quality and never cold. Their lunch menu can't be beat. A full sushi lunch with sides for under $11!

This place is fantastic! I popped in for lunch one day and tried the shrimp and broccoli lunch special. The staff was friendly, and the iced tea lemonade was perfect—everything went off without a hitch. When I returned later that week, I ordered the General Tso's shrimp and sushi, while my partner chose the shrimp Pad Thai. The food was served hot, and they provided great containers for taking home leftovers. Jenny, who served us, was really kind! They also have the best fried rice I’ve ever tasted, which is quite a statement! Plus, the leftovers reheat really well. If you're ever in town and looking to escape the typical heat-lamp Panda Express or other carryout options, definitely stop by here. Their sushi specials are amazing, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. It has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I hope you give it a try and that it becomes one of yours too!

I highly recommend this place! I ordered the Salmon Lovers, which includes either a salad or miso soup. The restaurant has a charming, cozy atmosphere—it's simple but well-kept, and the staff are very friendly. Plus, they have a fish tank!

I ordered a chirashi bowl and was pleasantly surprised to find a flower in it. Everything was fresh and delicious! The bowl included white rice, shrimp, tuna, salmon, and several other types of sashimi, some of which I couldn't quite identify, but they were all very tasty. The service was quick and efficient. While the bowl was a good size for 16, it is on the pricier side of the menu. I highly recommend it to anyone!
