Consistently one of the best go to restaurants in downtown Old Town. Food quality, service, and value is top notch.

Best lunch deal in town. Friendly service. Fresh food. I love it here. I come once a week.

Flew into DCA and was looking for late night dinner. The portion and food were decent, located In the corner of the heart of old town. The area is so cute. Restaurant environment was typical westernized Japanese place. The restaurant had two levels and maybe a basement for night life, not sure. read more

This is one of my favorite Asian restaurants in Old Town. They have such a great selection and the food is amazing. Im a huge fan or the shrimp and broccoli and lo mein. I wanted classic takeout options but with better quality and Kisso hits the mark. When I dine in everyone is helpful and things come out pretty quick. There are not a lot of tables so arrive early! The ambiance embodies old town. Quaint, simple, delicious and enjoyable. See you soon Kisso! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Everything was so delicious. I got the Fuji roll and it was so good!! The service was amazing.

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. read more

Adorable spot right on King St in Old Town. Delicious, fresh sushi, with a wide range of roll options. Miso soup was delicious and rolls were made very quick. The restaurant had a lot of noise from staff talking and to go orders, retracting the 1 star, but food was great. Our plate even came out with a dry ice fog from a ceramic whale which delighted our table! read more

My go to sushi spot in Alexandria. The spicy tuna roll is Sushi is always fresh and you can tell it's made with love!!

Ordered take out from Kisso. I got the spicy scallop & tuna sushi. The sushi was really good and would highly recommend. I also got the Thai curry chicken. Very flavorful and juicy. Didn't see a lot reviews on it but a sushi spot making Thai curry.. didn't expect it to be good but it was 9/10 good. Definitely a sleeper pick here. Give it a try if you want something other than sushi. Pricing wise it's a little expensive if you order via uber eats so order directly through them. Food comes really fast here so you won't be waiting long. read more

Mid-week, I was craving some sushi, so I called ahead to order the Angry Dragon roll. It was ready when I arrived. Payment went smoothly and quickly. The roll was very flavorful and perfect for a 1 person lunch meal! read more

Cute little place. Staff was friendly, place looked clean. Sushi was okay. Not a whole lot of taste, rolls are smaller (but love that rice is minimal). Only complaint was both our orders came out 10-15 mins apart. Not sure why. Not our favorite sushi place in the world, but good enough! read more

I had an amazing experience at Kisso. I was in the area, had a taste for sushi, and decided to stop in. I was greeted by attentive service. I was promptly sat down at a table. The menu is vast and had all my favorites! I ordered the miso soup, seaweed salad, spicy tuna roll, and their Dragon Roll with papaya. All of it was delicious! Everything was made to order. It was an amazing lunch. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. It wasn't too quiet or too loud. It was a perfect mix. I was full by the end of my meal. The price point was just right. The staff was very friendly and attentive the entire time. I will most definitely come back! read more

Honestly not sure how this place is still in business. Their sushi menu is big BUT the quality of sushi is so bad. If you are someone who eats subsoil regularly, you will immediately notice difference. We ordered the rainbow, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, yellowtail and one other premium roll. It was all filler with very small amount of fish. Please dine elsewhere if you want quality sushi. The service was mediocre but the food was disappointing that we didn't end up finishing our food despite being hungry. read more

This place used to be amazing, but the service has gotten quite bad, it may ruin your mood. Reservation is not needed. They always have seats. Parking is hard. The sushi is decent. However, the server ladies are rude and always rushing you. They even took away our table's utensils to get us going soon. I get it was 20 mins before close time, but it is NOT past the close time and they did not do the same to the table with white folks. I hate when asians treat each other like this. Don't recommend! read more

Pretty solid experience with couple of flaws. If Yelp would allow to give half stars,this would be definitely 3.5. Place is nice,was really busy for Monday night.Despite that service was prompt and professional. Comfortable chairs and not loud for busy night. Size of rolls were generous, with subtle amount of rice and a nice amount of fish. Fish was fresh,rolls were not very creative,but I love Tricolor roll and king crab roll were favorites. Rice was not properly seasoned,even texture was right and temperature was perfect, but rice seasoning is very important part of sushi experience . Also,I think they use only spicy mayo as a sauce, which makes them similar. read more

Ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. I like Pad Thai, but this was not well executed. Chicken was undercooked, peanuts looked and tasted like kitty litter, and it was a really saucy style, which I don't prefer. There were also zero vegetables in it, which surprised me. I tried a couple nibbles, then pitched it (it was a delivery) and got food from someplace else, as I did not find it edible. read more

Inside it was really clean. I like the interior design. Service was fairly fast. we got the Godzilla roll the spicy scallop roll, and the fried calamari. The Godzilla was my least favorite out of the three dishes. I'm not really a big fan of fried rolls, and this one seem to lack a lot of variety in flavor. The spicy scallop roll was really good. However I wish that there was some kind of crunch like cucumbers or something. The fried calamari was OK, it was light crispy and I really enjoyed the sauce. However it was not the best calamari that I've ever had and I would not order it again. Overall a solid meal. read more

We were visiting Alexandria for the weekend and chatted with locals. They said Kisso was definitely the best sushi in town and all the locals go. It was delicious, clean, great prices and a large menu. I got wonton soup and thin noodles because it's not items I can get at home and I'll come back just for those! We also got salmon sashimi and it was very fresh! I heard every table comment how hot their food was coming out of the kitchen which was great too. read more

The sushi is simply ok here. Had the New York Roll and the Tri-Color roll. Both were pretty good. Has the miso soup as an appetizer, but the soup was lukewarm and flavorless. Also the wasabi that came with my sushi had no heat at all, like it was just green colored paste. Service was good, but the sushi overall was just ok. The rolls themselves tasted good but a good wasabi is necessary to complete the experience. read more

So, the family wanted sushi really bad and we found this place which I'm glad we did. The service was great. The servers came over to assist me with opening my soda. But they also made sure we were taken care of even if it wasn't our servers. So, we had a lot of food (took videos and can't upload them). All of the food was delicious and fresh. They have nice size portions. My wife got the soup forgot which one and she was so excited. She got the angry dragon roll which she truly enjoyed. My oldest got a sushi special roll and he said it was good. The little one which sushi is his favorite ordered the shrimp tempura and almost ate all 16 pieces there until I told him enough lol. I got the scallops roll and it was Devine , the calamari and the crab Rangoon were both amazingly cooked. This place was nice and clean. I like how they cleaned up immediately after someone left the table but what caught my eye was that they swept each time customers leave. Some places forgets about the floor and the seats so that's an extra 20 points. Check them out because they also have other dishes. I will be going back soon. read more

Wow!!! I didn't realize I forgot to write about this gem. Kisso lives up to its name. Bc after you are finished eating here you really want to give it a Kiss :~* I do crave sushi and was craving some and found this cozy place with very welcoming hosts. I sat at the sushi bar. There were so many delicious options but the Angry Dragon roll and Salmon Lovers roll caught my eye. Both rolls were very delicious and worth it. They were both pretty big rolls and filing. If im ever back in the area i will be coming back here for more. Also Kisso is in such a nice little area it's so intimate and cute. I believe its called Old Town, it has a little waterfront to walk around l, a few little shopping stores and plenty of restaurants. Im so happy my friend who i met there suggested this area. I'm so glad i came here after the Unity tour it wasn't too far away from DC. This area has a little bit of everything. read more

Love the fresh sushi and always the hot miso soups and service is excellent. They have an extensive menu.

Review is based on the sushi, which was really good. Super fresh and tasty. They have have a pretty big menu and an array of other Asian dishes, so maybe worth visiting to try those too. They also have a bar downstairs, Casa Luna that's a really cool place to grab drinks too. read more

Great simple rolls- quality without too much ridiculousness and over the top presentation.

Love this place! Everytime we go the food is fresh and service is amazing. Loyal customers for life!
