I don't want to write this as a slight but more of a recommendation. The food is solid. Across the board, nothing was spectacular and different but nothing was bad. Solid. They are open late and I ordered carry out. If you want a solid meal, sushi, fried rice etc... they will get it done. A little slow to the prep but they had a line of DoorDash drivers so I'll give them grace. I didn't see anyone eating inside. And like I said I didn't eat inside either. I'm still giving it 5 stars because I don't think they did anything to deserve criticism for improvement. read more

Super clean place good tasting food service was great for sure price was a bit up there though. Just one complaint the cups for the water where a bit dirty but other than that it's was good and clean restroom was also clean and smelled good and everything was neat and in place as well read more

Hands down my favorite place to get takeout sushi in DC! They are incredible. They have a Spicy Roll Combo that is my go to. It's 3 full sized rolls (Spicy Tuna, Salmon, and California) for $20. It's so much food and the perfect Spicy Rolls. I often re-order their Rock Shrimp Tempura, it's a lot of shrimp and tossed and a really incredible sweet/spicy sauce. I also love their Seaweed Salad (such a good portion size) and their Fried Rice. Really you can go wrong with anything, they never disappoint! read more

I love the tuna lovers roll, it's so good! The nigiri here is also really good for the price point. There's not much seating, so this restaurant is best for takeout. The employees are always really nice when I go pick up my order. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Isshin Asian Bistro - Tuna Lover Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Isshin Asian Bistro is a good spot for a weekday lunch. If you're looking for something quick, affordable, and tasty then Isshin's range of Asian options will do the trick. I had the basil chicken lunch combo, which comes with the entree, rice, and a spring roll. I also ordered the hot and sour soup and was not disappointed by any of the offerings. If you come around when they open, all the food is fresh and hot. I did takeout on a Wednesday and was impressed by the decent portion sizes and quality of the food. This isn't going to be the best Thai (or Chinese, or Japanese) food you ever eat but it does the trick. The basil chicken had plenty of vegetables including onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, and came with a sizable portion of rice as well. The egg roll was your standard vegetarian egg roll with a nice crunchy coating and a forgettable but decent cabbage filling. The soup here is always excellent and is very filling as well. read more

Food was REALLY GOOD but they shut down the eat in service an hour earlier than the closing time.

Decided to get delivery yesterday from a new sushi place and ended up finding my new favorite place!! I got the spicy roll combo that comes with 3 rolls and you choose between miso soup or salad. Also got the seaweed salad for an appetizer. The 3 rolls were generously filled with the filling and the miso soup came still warm, I didn't even have to heat it up! Everything was a reasonable price and I will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

I've been ordering here for years, it was my favorite sushi place in the city, but they stopped delivering to my address just over the river. My guess is they changed their delivery policy around June of this year, but it's unfortunate because I was a regular customer (pretty sure I spent $1k plus, ordering about twice a month over the last few years), and I'm disappointed to lose the joy of ordering there. Great food I just wish they'd rethink their delivery radius and go back to their delivery policy from earlier this year that included Alexandria and towns just neighboring to DC. read more

Ordered twice on doordash in the last few weeks and really enjoyed my food! The sushi combos are a great deal and are very filling. LOVE the rock shrimp with pineapple. Haven't been to the location but will be ordering again! read more

Consistently solid and affordable spot for Chinese takeout! Isshin has become my go-to lunch when I work for home. The lunch special is a great deal - I usually get chicken and broccoli, which comes with fried rice and an egg roll ($12). Also the staff are such lovely people!! read more

I came here for lunch with some colleagues and they happily accommodated our party of 5 though the inside was set up more for take out only. I'd say the whole space could probably only seat about 15 people. I ordered the Las Vegas Roll which was one of the Chef's specials, not a lunch special. It came with cooked salmon and white fish (red snapper) and some cream cheese. It was a good size! However I also wanted raw fish so I tried someone's spicy salmon from the lunch special and it was pretty good too. The proportion of fish to rice is very good, not too much rice! I was very hungry so I also got a lunch plate of sesame chicken and white rice. I was surprised it came with an egg roll which was perfect as I was really hungry. I ordered a Thai iced tea as well. I left very happily full. If your goal is a good value for a meal, look no where else. This might not be my first choice for either Chinese food or sushi, but they have both and at a good price! So if you're looking for both, this place is a win. I've liked restaurants that were in this unit years ago but it kept changing so I'm hoping Isshin is here to stay. read more

Ever since moving I've been trying to find a good Chinese takeout place. Saw this when ordering delivery so decided to give it a try. I got the shredded chicken in garlic sauce and chicken lo mein. Delivery was easy and quick. The shredded chicken in garlic sauce was delicious! It does come with a side of white rice which wasn't mentioned when I was ordering online. It's not on the spicy side but still had a lot of flavor. The lo mein was ok, it seemed a little too salty and had a slightly weird aftertaste. Overall it's a good place to grab a quick dinner, or if you're craving Chinese. read more

I got takeout here on a random weekday and it was pretty good. They have a great lunch special, where you get an entrée, rice, and an egg roll for about $10. So for the cost, it was great. I got the General Tso's chicken with fried rice. The chicken was flavorful and well cooked, and the fried rice was pretty good too. It also had some steamed broccoli in it, which was a nice touch and made me feel a bit better about eating fried food for lunch. I didn't love the egg roll, but that could just be personal preference. The food maybe wasn't anything to write home about, but for the cost it can't be beat. read more

I got delivery for lunch late on a Friday afternoon while working from home, after realizing I hadn't had anything but coffee all day. Knowing I wanted noodles and also having a hankering for egg drop soup to soothe my allergy-irritated throat, I found Isshin Asian Bistro on Yelp, open and predicted to deliver pretty quickly. Perfect! I got the egg drop soup I was craving and ended up ordering Chicken Pad Thai noodles -- and some egg rolls to meet the delivery minimum. The food arrived hot and fast, and was ok! Honestly it really hit the spot given the circumstances. I mean I wouldn't say it was the most "authentic" Pad Thai or egg drop soup I've ever had- whatever that means in this context (but that seems to be a criterion that every Yelp reviewer has to mention so there you go!) The Pad Thai had a lot of sauce compared to most I've had - but I was starving and like saucy food (and people) in general, so it was pretty satisfying. And c'mon -- I'd just ordered a bizarre combination of Chinese and Thai food for quick delivery from what looks like primarily a sushi restaurant, so I'd call anything other than disappointing a success. read more

Got food poisoning, won't be ordering from here again. Sushi was tasteless and warm... both my partner and I were impacted

Delightful. I ordered the Sushi and Sashimi from the Japanese Lunch Menu and was pleasantly surprised. The sashimi was quality cuts served at the perfect temperature. I will certainly be returning. read more

This is my favorite affordable sushi in DC. They use high quality ingredients for their sushi and it's priced more reasonably than some (also delicious) fancier sushi restaurants nearby. I go often when I'm looking for takeout for a weekend night in. Isshin has tables set up inside and outside, but I recommend getting takeout and going to a nearby park or eating at home. My go-tos: - Crunch Salmon Avocado roll ~$8 - Shaggy Dog roll ~$14 - Eel and avocado roll ~$7 read more

This is my go-to DoorDash place in DC! The delivery is always fast. I love how you can specify white meat chicken, so orange chicken with white meat is my go-to. The portion is generous and I've never been disappointed! I only went here once in person and sat outside so I can't really speak to the ambiance. But if you're looking for a good takeout place, definitely recommend! read more

Ordered through Uber Eats , everything came exactly as ordered, they put attention to all the notes I've included. Everything was so good, and they have nice enough vegan options, which made me sooo happy :) Both my vegan self and my non vegan boyfriend really enjoyed the overall experience. Thumbs up big time . read more

I love Isshin (even back when it was Wok & Roll) and have been ordering from it for years. They always deliver quickly (I was in Logan and now U Street) and it's always fresh and well made. I have ordered both sushi and chinese food and definitely prefer it for sushi and think there are better chinese spots in the city but it's a go-to for sure. read more

The menu is HUGE (Japanese, Chinese, and Thai offerings), the staff are extra friendly, and the food is always good. Vegetarians: try the Inari avocado (sushi) rolls, the tempura sweet potato rolls, and General Tso's tofu! read more

I am so fortunate to live nearby. isshin is truly amazing. I was a fan of their before, when they were a wok and Roll, but now they have taken their game to another level. I started by just getting their Thai basil chicken for lunch. Then Kung pao, and finally the general Tsos. The latter is incredible, they use white meat which I prefer, and it's so perfectly breaded and tender. Usually Chinese take out chicken gets hard and stringy, but not their chicken. You can't go wrong getting their lunch specials especially if you live in the area. Their dumplings and egg rolls are also amazing. read more

Isshin in da kitchen! We love this place... Wonderful customer service and great food. The sushi is consistently excellent (maki--yellowtail jalapeno, spicy tuna, great california) and they definitely follow instructions specified in the orders. My husband loves their fried chicken wings and I enjoy their thai basil tofu. Very fresh ingredients and generous portions, too. read more

So far so good. I've ordered here a couple times, through Uber eats and going to the restaurant to order to go. Through Uber eats, packaging is top notch. The food look's exactly like it does in the picture. It's great quality and great price for the quality. Will continue to order from here. They have an extensive menu and I have yet to be disappointed in my choices. read more

My go to place for sushi takeout in DC. Definitely the best sushi option in Adams Morgan.

Consistently delicious meals that do not disappoint! Excellent menu options to meet everyone's requests.

I would have ordered the Philly roll, but was told it only comes with salmon and cream cheese (I'm used to it also including avocado). So I got the salmon avocado roll instead. It did not disappoint. I wouldn't recommend the fried crab wontons if you're getting takeout. By the time I got home (~20 min walk), they were not as fresh. Could be great for dine in though! read more

We're from out of town. I'm happy we came across this restaurant! While you can dine in, it's mainly to-go orders. We had the miso soup, 2 sushi rolls, with shrimp Pad Thai and beef fried rice. By far the most authentic tasting Asian food I've had in a long time. I'm very impressed and I'm sure you will be too read more

Delicious sushi and great service! A friend recommended Isshin to me and I took a group of 15 there this evening. Enjoyed several rolls (the Dragon Roll and Avocado Spicy Salmon were especially delightful!) The prices were reasonable for this area of D.C. and will definitely be a new go-to spot! The employees are very helpful and kind and patient! I didn't realize when I made the reservation that a group of 15 takes up the entire dining room. The waitress working with us was efficient, kind and attentive given that we were dining at rush hour and basically reserving the entire restaurant. read more

The Las Vegas Roll was basically fried cream cheese, with not much else to the roll. The Market Roll was ok, but not something I would ever order again. I love sushi, and enjoy looking for new places to order from, but won't be ordering from here again. I basically took a few bites & through away the rest. read more

One of the best Asian restaurants in northwest DC! Isshin has a great selection with high-quality flavor and ingredients.

Their spicy tuna roll is so good! I keep going back for more. Ordering is easy, pick-up is quick. Not a big fan of the noodles as it's a bit bland for my taste. But eager to try more rolls. read more

Hmm Isshin Isshin Isshin ...I wanted to like you and give you more stars. I ordered the lunxh special from you twice- beef and broccoli and Szechuan beef. The food was plentiful and piping hot. All the main ingredients were as expected and tasted fresh but alas, the taste was totally lacking. Even the addition of soy sauce to the entrees was to no avail. It's as if the dishes, sullen at being underseasoned the first go around, declined any help. What to do? Here's a suggestion- take the profit made off 2 or 3 lunch specials, go to Costco, get large bottles of spices - ginger, garlic, pepper etc and use liberally. Thank me later because I really want to like you. read more

So, I seldom write reviews, but felt a need to for this business. First, I've been living in DC for over 20 years, so I have tried a lot of different restaurants. The sushi and rolls at this place is GREAT! Super fresh, very little fishy smell. Their specialty carpaccio are even better. The price is very reasonable and the staff are pretty friendly. If you have to order rolls or sushi in NW DC. I would highly recommend this establishment. read more
