    The service and food were very good. We ordered takeout, there was a nice waiting area. The dining looked like it would have been nice. They prepared the meals well to go. Played and utensils were provided upon request. It was conveniently located down from our hotel. I would recommend the Thai basil chicken rice and mermaid sushi roll.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch and initially I would've given it a 2 because the greeting at the door was unhappy, almost like 'what are you doing here?' However, the waitress lightened up as the lunch went on. Fast service, but not necessarily with a smile. The restaurant is surprisingly bigger than it looks. There's a whole top floor as well as the first floor so they can accommodate large parties. The lunch was OK. It was off the generic lunch menu, which is usually like standard Chinese fast food and that's what I felt when I got the shrimp with mixed vegetables. It had brown sauce, quite salty, nothing to rave home about but the avocado salad was good. It just left more to be desired. The ginger sauce over lettuce was a little bland but good sized portion. Clear soup was also tasty!

    First time ordering Kisso through DoorDash and let me tell you...amazing! I've gone to the restaurant to have a sit down dinner many times but never ordered delivery. Tasty and flavorful sushi rolls as always!

    Sushi, Shrimp Tempura
    Tiffany W.

    Ordered delivery on a Sunday afternoon and WOW! The spread included sushi, shrimp tempura, and beef with broccoli. Everything I tried was delicious! And the shrimp tempura was a hit (even with little ones!) I love that this place has such great variety.

    Angry Dragon Roll
    Shari D.

    The Angry Dragon Roll was probably the most filling roll I've ever had in my life. The flavors go very well together and I left feeling very satisfied! Service was good, and quite quick, there wasn't a long wait for food/drink or even to be seated. They have a decent set-up, even offering seating where the sushi is prepared. And honestly, their prices are affordable for Old Town, it really felt like I ate an entire meal.

    Angry Dragon Roll and sassy roll
    Evbu O.

    Came to Kisso on a Sunday night and was seated immediately since it was pretty empty when we arrived. The place filled up shortly after. It's a cute restaurant with trendy music, creating a nice vibe. Our waitress was attentive and helpful in answering our questions. I ordered hot sake and two rolls: the Angry Dragon and the Sassy Roll. I realized too late that I'm not a big fan of hot sake, so that was on me, but my friend enjoyed it! The rolls were delicious, especially the Sassy Roll--it really stood out. While the prices were a bit steep, the overall experience was worth it. I'd definitely come back!

    The food is good and the service is excellent but the ambiance was straight out of a movie the drinks are good also

    Miso Soup
    Brigette K.

    I've walked by this restaurant for years and tonight was the night to try it! Service was fast and attentive. My boyfriend and I each had miso soup and variety of sushi rolls. It was delicious and fresh, and with this and 2 beers the cost was under $50. I will definitely be back; the lunch options seem affordable as well.

    Spicy scallop roll (back) & spider roll (front)
    Ha T.

    Got the spicy scallop roll & spider roll, both good. I liked that the spider roll had a freshly fried soft shell because it was still warm. I'd eat here again and maybe try the ramen because my friend liked it.

    Menu

    The food was delicious. The stir fry, sushi and fried rice was the so good. Everything was hot and seasoned to taste. The service was quick and the vie of the restaurant was nice.

    Sweet Potato Roll, 5 Pieces Spider Roll, Dragon Roll, Godzilla Roll, Tiffany Roll
    Makaylah S.

    Came by for lunch when we were staying at a hotel in Old town, and it was super close! We tried a bunch of different rolls, and some calamari which were fresh and delicious. I also tried their thai tea which was not very sweet, but still good. Overall id say their service for a busy Saturday lunch time was not bad. It was casual and we were seated fast. Id say price wise you can expect what you would typically for an area like this part of Alexandria; not cheap unless you want very easy or quick eats. Best rolls to try hands down- Godzilla with an honorable mention to the dragon roll which was super fresh.

    Chirashi
    Samantha C.

    The waiter was kind and accommodating since I was the first of my party to arrive. She sat me down immediately. I enjoyed this chirashi bowl. I believe there were 15 pieces. It was very filling and worth the price. I liked the overall vibe of this place. Definitely a nice spot to eat with your friends after work!

    Sushi rolls! Volcano & Sassy roll
    Serena B.

    Food was sooooo good and the service was fast. Our waiter took good care of us. The only thing I didn't care so much was the fact that the restaurant was kinda small so you are seated close to the people next to you. Other than that it was super good and I will be going back again.

    So glad this chain finally hit the DMV. The restaurant features a rooftop and comfy seating. My…read morefriends and I decided to celebrate our friend's bday with some quality cuts of A5 from their premium menu. Some of our favorite menu items include the sukiyaki shabu shabu, lobster roll, wagyu foie spoons, A5 Japanese Wagyu sandwich, Wagyu fried rice, toro sashimi and the matcha crepe cheesecake. What we really enjoyed about this place was the quality and speed of service. You could see the marbling in the buttery toro and fatty A5. We had an extra side tray to put all of our empty dishes. Highly recommend keeping an eye out on the tablet timer so you can constantly reorder once the queue clears. I'll definitely be back to try some of their à la carte menu items. The premium menu was plenty, but we did see diners order from the other menu.

    Date Day with my boo. We went to the spa and then decided to stay in Virginia for Sushi…read more I felt tricked from Instagram and TikTok, which raved about this place. First off, if you miss the parking lot, it was a bit confusing so we ended up making a circle before finding the additional parking lot further before the restaurant, but we did end up parking in the lot next to the restaurant. Getting in and out of that space was not easy with that annoying red light right at the corner. When we walked in, we were greeted right away. Asked if we had reservations which we didn't but they did take a bit of time to seat us. Upon sitting down, we walked by the mini buffet of appetizers and desserts, along with the cooler of drinks. (The cooler was not cold, but held room temperature drinks, I had to ask for cups of ice which took a while) We sat and contemplated if we wanted to splurge on the higher package which we ended up doing any way because our neighbors who were also on a date and was there for the first time was testing the higher package also, so we went all out! There is a limit to how much you order and there is a 10 minute wait in-between each order and how many items you can order. Our server was very helpful and had walked us through the process. The cheesy lobster was so small, we ate it in one bite, and it's only one per table. The wagyu sandwiches were great, but lacked flavor. The creamy udon...was all cream. The best dish on the premium menu were the spoons of wagyu and toro, and the steamed clams in whatever broth. Shabu-Shabu with wagyu was okay. Broth flavor was decent, nothing overly memorable. I did like that it was all you can eat sushi and they had all you can eat Uni which is a plus, but you can tell the quality was not as great as expected. We didn't even bother with the rolls, since it would have limited us from the others, but then I wonder if we would have been better ordering the gazillion sushi roll options. They did great presentation-wise, but would I spend the money on the top package option? No. it was definitely a novelty dinner, something you try one time and say you've tried but maybe my expectations were high because of how I was sold on IG and TikTok. Even my boyfriend was upset with how I talked up the place. To top off the evening, I asked for matcha crepe cake and they brought me match cheesecake. I hate cheesecake. We did enjoy the hot sake! The place was busy and don't get me wrong, it's not horrible but I think I'm more upset for the price I paid for the quality I received. If the service wasn't decent, I would have given it less stars but maybe I came on a bad night and the Chefs were just not loving their cooking. Would I drive the hour and half to go back? Definitely not. I do hope they improve their quality and items. Just my experience here...

For the record, we arrived after 10 PM, so I want to be fair about the timing but if you're open and serving, the experience should still meet a reasonable standard. Unfortunately, ours didn't. Seating was confusing from the start. No one greeted us at the entrance or hostess stand, we were directed upstairs, and again no one greeted us. We eventually had to flag someone down just to get seated. The calamari looked and tasted as though it had been sitting for days chewy and rubbery. None of us liked it, so we sent it back. No replacement was offered, and it still appeared on our bill until we asked to have it removed. My cashew chicken had the same not-fresh taste. One sister had the peanut chicken and barely touched it, while my other sister said her tofu Pad Thai was decent. The cocktails were mediocre, and once they were finished, no one asked if we'd like another. Our water was refilled, but otherwise there was very little checking on our table. Even the sauces and peppers we requested smelled and tasted stale.

The upstairs decor is very charming and whimsical and reminiscent of Alice in Wonderful. For drinks, we got the Mango Sticky Rice (Planteray 3 Star, Coconut Rum, Junmai Sake, Toasted coconut, Mango, Yuzu) and the Alice (Roku Gin, Elderflower Liqueur, Lychee Liqueur, Butterfly pea, Yuzu, Egg white). My first assumption on entering the bar was that "instagrammable" places like this are usually a gimmick - but I was so wrong. The drinks were very boozy, aesthetically pleasing and tasted fantastic. Their food menu also looked so good so we also decided to get a couple of apps to accompany our drinks. We got the Shrimp Dumpling (steamed shrimp and chicken dumplings served with homemade creamy ginger lemon soy sauce) and Curry Puff (chicken, sweet potato, shallot in the rice dough served with sweet chili peanut dipping sauce) and I am so mad at myself for not ordering more food here (we had lunch reservation elsewhere). The presentation was spot on, portions were generous and everything was super flavorful - the curry puffs tasted like Indian Samosas! The woman attending us was very sweet and pleasant. Would definitely return for more food and drinks, not too far from DC so maybe one of my next DC trips will drag me here!

Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, and she made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Unfortunately, most of the dishes we ordered just didn't hit the mark. Some were overpowering, others lacked flavor, and a few came out soggy. My favorites of the night were the Tuna Crudo and Chicken Tikka Masala. I also made sure to let our server know about my peanut and tree nut allergy. She was very understanding and specifically told us that she would communicate with the kitchen to have the nuts removed from the hummus. Unfortunately, the hummus still came out with nuts on it. Thankfully, I caught it before eating it, but this is definitely an area where better communication between the kitchen and front-of-house staff is needed. Overall, I left feeling pretty underwhelmed by the experience. I think I'd still choose their brunch over their dinner offerings any day. Maybe I just caught them on an off night, but unfortunately, the bottomless dinner wasn't too great.
