Why have I not found this place sooner?! Since my arrival in DC I've been on a desperate hunt to find some decent Asian food and low-and-behold it was literally right next to me! D'OH. The location of Suki Asia is completely unassuming and I hardly expected this place to churn out the quality of food + affordable prices that it did but I am happy to admit I was wrong. I came at a random time, around 5ish so the place was completely deserted. At first I thought this was a bad sign till I opened up my order of bulgogi bibimbap when I got back to my apartment. Inside was a beautifully composed dish -- fresh veggies, tender meat, perfectly cooked rice, & other yummy toppings that are normally found in bibimbap. And for a dish that's usually served in a hot pot, this was beyond what I expected! Yelpers, if you are reading this and you are a fan of bibimbap like me, please try Suki Asia. You will thank me later! :) *Next on the menu: sushi! *Fingers crossed* that it is as good as my first meal here! read more

DO...NOT...GO....HERE! I wandered across the street from my office in search of a "decent" roll and some miso soup. When I got there, I decided to give it a fair chance. The place was reasonably crowded and looked clean. THEN THE DISASTER BEGINS! When they rang up my order it was $15. 15 Dollars!?@$()@#E I mean, what did I order? Sushi lined with gold? I ordered two rolls and a miso soup. The rolls were California and some kind of philadelphia roll. Outrageous. Then they proceeded to make my sushi...which took literally 25 minutes. My order was to go and this was just completely unacceptable. There were two people in front of me who were complaining about the slowness as well... Then I noticed something that made me want to just leave and ask for my money back...the sushi guys pulled NOT ONE but TWO hairs out of a box of sushi rice they were using to make the rolls. That is not sanitary! They finally decided to just start with a whole new box of rice and smiled nervously at me..knowing I had just watched them! CUT BACK TO OFFICE Back at the office I am still bitter that I paid $15 for a cup of soup and two measly rolls. The sushi was not only not-fresh looking, but tasted old as well. DO NOT eat the raw fish here. I think it might make you sick. Also, the miso soup was terrible. I consider myself a miso soup afficionado and this was just not up to par. It did not have any tofu/miso chunks in the soup and was just broth with some scallions thrown on top. Moral of the story...Do not waste your money and do not waste your time. read more

I ordered the sushi combo that came with a California roll, salmon roll and tuna roll (6 pieces of each). The rolls were small and too much rice. The fish did not taste that fresh. The miso soup had good flavor But no tofu or scallions. My husband ordered the bimbimbap and was equally dissatisfied; there was no egg and the chicken was an up charge. It was pretty busy in there but we still got a table and quick service. I won't be returning anytime soon...nothing special. read more

Total gem. I'm writing this review as a sort of thank-you to this place for being so wonderful. Ingenious sushi rolls with superior ingredients and preparation. Fresh, tasty, and inventive. The delicate attention to detail distinguishes this place from the rest. Oh and most importantly, Suki Asia has the best Udon soup that I've EVER had. (I've been ordering Udon soups since I learned how to use chopsticks.) And now I've been going here twice a week, because a girl needs her Udon. ;-) read more

I've been coming here for a while- I was introduced by a coworker and have since introduced and recommended Suki Asia to a bunch of other coworkers. My go-to is the Bibimbap lunch special- it's a great price (especially compared to others in the area) and comes with soup or a soda. It's a good amount of food for lunch, but recently I've noticed the portions of meat served with the Bibimbap are much smaller and less flavorful than they used to be- disappointing. Still holding out hope that they go back to the portions and quality that they used to have. I really like like this place and don't want to give it up! read more

The prices have increased significantly. I used to come because it was affordable. Now it is average. $5.99 special now $7.99 and my $12 combo cost me over $15 today. Good but not sure it is worth the price. Miso soup had no tofu =/ read more

I try to not eat out much at work, but after catching a cold, I wanted a nice bowl of Pho. Cue the most convenient Asian spot just a couple blocks from my office! I loved the pho - a very generous portion and you can add hoisin and hot sauce. They also make sushi that looks amazing that I want to come back for. It was not busy at all and a welcome respite from the heat. It would be a great place for a quiet lunch or a work lunch with some friends. Awesome find. read more

Last summer when I was in DC I could not find good, affordable Asian food around for the life of me. I came upon this place and while kinda hard to find, it was a pleasant surprise. The sushi is pretty decent (not spectacular), the miso soup is good, and the bibimbap & japanese side dishes that they give you as well as the kimchi are delicious. And there is the free green iced tea also. Now that I am living here semi-permanently, I will definitely be back soon! read more

So glad my coworkers put me on to this place! Although I'm not a fish fan, they have other options for us meat lovers. I got the special of the day which was bibimbap and it came with the miso soup. I usually don't love miso but this is the first miso I've liked! Perfect since I had a cold, warmed my through right up! I was a little disappointed in portion size of the bibimbap, there was plenty of rice and lettuce, carrots, etc but not enough meat itself. Especially since it tasted so good I wanted more :) My coworkers eel sushi took FOREVER to make, definitely call ahead to expect a wait. read more

Excellent deal for lunch, limited seating so it might be best for take out. I am a little concerned that there's MSG in the food because I had a pretty bad headache after eating...delicious kimchi, nice that they have the free green tea. Everyone who works there is really nice. read more

Quick serve lunch spot that does a solid job dishing out massive plates of sushi and bibimbap. They are usually pretty slammed around lunchtime, so I tend to put an order in and then go run an errand for 10 or 15 minutes. Prices are pretty reasonable, and you get a lot for your money. read more

I love to eat here when I'm staying at The Beacon hotel. It's an great place to grab a quick bite to eat without paying a ton of money and ruining your diet. They offer inexpensive sushi with a free small salad, edamame, and green tea. read more

A solid lunch place with a good bimbimap and sushi. There can be long lines so go on odd hours for face service. Sushi takes a while to made during the lunch rush. read more

Delicious, affordable, quick, and friendly. What more could I ask. Try the spicy chicken Bimibap, when they say spicy they mean it. Love it, all of the vegetables in the dish were incredibly fresh. Looking forward to going back and trying more. Rolls looked great too. read more

One of the issues of being a half-vegetarian/half-omnivore-who-loves-sushi household is finding a sushi joint that also has interesting (or even any) vegetarian maki. Suki Asia does, which means this place goes on the list. It's close to my office, so sometimes it's a meet-each-other-after-work kind of place, where we can both gorge ourselves on anything we might want. It's a nice little unassuming spot, not trying to be anything other than kinda homey, low-key, and tasty. Also, cheap. read more

Limited, fast-sushi menu but the sushi is well made and the staff is very friendly. Take out or eat in, this is a relaxed and tasty lunch spot. The free iced green tea is a great touch. read more

Such a cute little place with amazing customer service and fresh fish. They are quick, too. I ordered to go and had my food ready in less than 10 minutes. Free iced green tea doesn't disappoint! read more

Best place for lunch!!! Bibimbob is my #1 choice and noodles are also good for light lunch. read more

Few months ago I purchased the shrimp roll and it was great. I decided to get my daughter more sushi today and at 2:28pm they are out of sushi. You don't close until 3 and you can't make more sushi.. I will not be back. read more

I like their miso and spicy crunchy shrimp roll...but most of the other dishes seem really expensive for what comes in them. The Ramen soup for example is exactly like if you opened a package of Ramen noodles in college. When I branched out to the new PHO on the meu...I was very disappointed. I asked if they have fish sauce and they said no... It seems silly to offer Pho without having fish sauce (the dark kind on the table at all Pho restaurants). Also...the Vegetable pho had NO VEGGIES in it except for some scallions...Veggie Pho should have tofu, and at the very least a few pieces of cabbage, carrots, or broccoli, etc. in it. I was disappointed...not sure if I'd go back. read more

I love this place! I eat here almost every day that I don't bring my lunch to work. It's better than almost every Sushi place in the D.C. Metro area, and it's very affordable. They do the "standard" rolls very well and have a variety of creative rolls as well. I can't get enough of the Cherry Blossom Roll - unagi, avacado and cream cheese. Yum. The staff is friendly and personalable and knew my name not long after I started comng in here. read more

This place has great lunch specials that they've actually expanded over the last year. The bulgolgi is solid for the price the bento boxes are massive amounts of food and worth the splurge. There are better places if you want fancy Asian food, but this is one of my favorite solid lunch places. Fast too. read more

It's just okay, the people at the counter are nice and there's a nice small set of tables to sit at. I wanted to try a different spot for lunch so I came here and grabbed their lunch special with tofu. It comes with either a soup or soda for about $7.50. I went for the miso soup which was a little plain (just straight soup). Not sure if I'd come back but it was fine for today. read more

Not sure how this place gets 3.5. Ordered the Crazy Roll, Beef Donburi and Chicken Donburi, and the Bibimbap. The shrimp tempura inside the roll wasn't fresh, and it was tough to chew. Service was pretty crappy too. The chicken donburi wasn't what you'd expect out of a legit Japanese restaurant. It's basically dry pieces of chicken breast with very little sauce on top of it. Beef donburi was also dry. This place is also pretty small, and could probably only fit around 20 people. Maybe this is considered good Asian food in Washington, but for someone from California, this is definitely substandard. read more

Not the best Asian food. Just decent lunch pick up. I would rather go to jacks fresh next door.

This is good for a quick lunch. There is seating for maybe 20 people. In some cases, you may have to share a table to a stranger. The service is quick. The food is good. I really enjoyed the bibimbop. It is relatively inexpensive, but like all places, the cost varies with how much you order. read more

Why not 5 stars? Because there was imitation crab and bok choi in it but that's somewhat typical, at least the bok choi part, for a korean place. Okay, I added a 5th star... Their udon is BANGIN!!! I had the seafood udon and the flavor is excellent. It took a little while but it was worth the wait. Plenty of people watching at lunch time. It was prett much in and out, food and go, and it was hot as all get out when I got back to the office. Must have been dead hot when they poured it. It was a little pricey--$8.95, but it was well worth the value. PLENTY of shrimp in it, plenty of imitation crab, there was a mussel in it, few small bay scallops, and some tempura shavings but it was chock full of flava--no filler carrots and stuff like they do at some restaurants. These folks know what they are doing. read more

Had the beef don today. Lots of tasty beef with onions, and comes with a side of edamame+lettuces and soda! For $5.99 you can have a filing and healthy lunch! (Free hot/ice tea too) I usually tip them $1 even if I take away, it's such a honest business. read more

The service here is great and as you walk in, the free green tea iced tea is a nice touch. The sushi is average. I ordered the salmon and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't the most fresh. For my lunch entree went with the donburi chicken-Don (a chicken rice bowl). The chicken was rubbery and clearly made well in advance. The veggies were cold, which is fine, but the way it was served it appeared as if it should have been warm. The rice and side salad were fine. If you are in a midweek rush for an Asian lunch, come here. If not, I would seek out other places. read more

A real hidden gem. As an ex-Californian, I think most sushi in DC is terrible. This place is solid.

Best place for lunch in DC! I always get the tofu bibimbab lunch special, which comes with free miso soup and hot or iced tea for $5.99. How can you beat that? AND they have great and fast service. A+ read more

I get lunch at Suki Asia at least once a week- it's one of my favorite spots! There is not much seating, so it's best to plan on ordering to go or getting there early to nab a seat. There is free green-tea while you wait and the staff is especially friendly! The sushi chef is amazing and takes great care in his creations (order the dragon roll!). read more

Good food BUT terrible CUSTOMER SERVICE!! WAITED 30 mins FOR BEEF BIBIMBAP!! It was obvious that the lady in the front had her favorite customers. A lady ordered after me and she got her food first. She called that lady by her first name and gave her what she ordered. THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 8 PEOPLE that ordered after me and they all got their food first. AND NO I'M NOT EXAGGERATING BECAUSE I COUNTED, lol. She finally talked to me and asked what I ordered. She finally got my food in the back kitchen and it was just sitting there the whole time. I'm Asian myself and from my experience, I find that some Asians discriminate against other Asians. SAD BUT TRUE. They tend to put other races on a pedestal and they always aim to please. I'm not a confrontational person and I didn't want to make a scene so I got my food and left. I really wanted to try their sushi and the Japanese curry BUT UNFORTUNATELY I REFUSE TO GIVE THIS PLACE MY MONEY AND BUSINESS. That was my first time and my last. I'll go somewhere else and get better service. read more

This is my favorite lunch spot in DC. They have great rice bowls with plenty of food (protein, rice, vegetables, edamame, and miso soup) and great daily deals. I really enjoy their tofu and spicy chicken specials. The owners are always very friendly and offer speedy service. Would highly recommend for quick and tasty asian food. read more

i went here today, i will never return. i was craving noodles so i ordered the ramen (spicy shrimp ramen). it was one of those packaged, store bought types and they just added some shrimp and veggies to it. it cost me $8.00!!! its not that the ramen was bad, it tasted the way store bought ramen should taste, but the fact that they are selling it for $8.00, that tells me a lot about this place and its owners. name should be "sucky asia", terrible...dont go here. read more

This place is one of my go to spots for a quick, cheap, and tasty lunch. Their rolls come with edamame and salad and are very delicious. I particuarly like the cruncy spicy tuna and salmon rolls. My favorite thing on the menu is the bibimbap. All the ingredients are tasty and it comes with an soup or soda and it's only $5.99! I seriously think it is the best deal in town. It's a huge serving and well worth it. read more

We stumbled upon this place after leaving the National Geographic Museum while looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite before heading back to the airport. After seeing mostly just sandwich shops around this area (not from the area so could be mistaken) this place looked perfect for what we wanted. We both had combos that came with a variety of sushi, sashimi, miso soup, Japanese sides, and mine came with some kind of Korean rice dish with veggies and beef. (I had no idea what it was when I ordered it but that is how you try out new things!) Both of our plates came out with a beautiful presentation. When you first walk in help yourself to free iced green tea while you wait for your food. The lady taking our orders was friendly enough. The place is pretty small so I can see lunch time being pretty crazy if you are trying to eat in. We shared our 4 seater table (only one open) with another lady when she came in after us so be prepared to get cozy with your neighbor. All in all though, the food was really great and the price was totally reasonable. read more

Dig this place, 100% recommended. Food is great, lunch special prices are great, sushi is good (americanized rice, but I guess that's to be expected). Only thing is, I wish they salted the edamame. The place is A LOT better with the new owners. They definitely fixed up the old recipes that weren't all that great. The kitchen is down now, well for a while now, but it's still got tasty udon. read more

My wife and I were in VA (Mount Vernon area) to visit relatives. Since Washington DC was very close by, my wife would also care of some non-pressing personal business at an embassy there. We found parking at the wonderful (not) two-hour-limit parking meters and then waited patiently at the embassy . After turning in her (pre-completed) forms, she was told to come back some three hours later to pick up her requested items. That was fine and dandy, but we were hungry, so after feeding the meter yet again (and hoping we wouldn't run out of change by the end of the day) we took out our phones and shouted for YELP. Whenever we are in a strange place and are looking for somewhere to eat (or just want to try something new or specific), YELP is a Godsend. We don't just look at the Star rating as a guide, but also the latest reviews to see what's recommended or not (and why or why not). Anyway, once we saw that the place was within easy walking distance and offered some items we enjoyed, we proceeded to mosey over to Suki Asia (I can't help but call it "mosey" whenever walking with my wife, she is over a foot shorter than me, and usually where's shoes that are not made for fast walking... so I've got to move s l o w l y :) Of course I love her nonetheless. Okay, this is a restaurant review and I apologize for the one-sided banter. So we arrive and realize it is smack in the middle of lunch hour and the line is out the door (about 15 people waiting and mostly all will be single orders as most seem to be on lunch from work and they are with with friends/co-workers). It was hot outside in the sun, so it was a relief to make it in the door and air conditioning after ten minutes. The place seats about twenty & the tables were full, but it was an eat-then-go lunch crowd that was seated, so my wife was able to find a table quickly while I ordered. We had decided on the "regular" Bibimbap as we are familiar with that dish and seemed a good choice for this establishment. We had the choice of soup or drink with the meal, we decided on miso soup as they had self-serve green tea from a clean cool looking large glass dispenser (you can also help yourself to the tea while waiting in line... a nice touch). So we waited patiently at the table for our order. About 75% of the people in line were ordering take out, so they shuffled around the crowded waiting counter. The whole place was packed and once we were seated, we would not be getting up again to shuffle through the crowd to get tea refills. So I spent two separate years of my military career on unaccompanied tours in Korea, and ventured off base for about half of my meals. So I am familiar with bibimbap, my wife also makes it at home (although she is not Korean, we gather the proper ingredients from recipes found on line). So when I saw a large amount of ? lettuce ? included as one of the vegetables, I was very skeptical. That along with the thin, almost-orange colored Gochujang (basically hot pepper paste) that accompanied it. I am used to a much thicker and darker variety. **But, much to my surprise, the taste was great. The thin gochujang had good flavor and was easier to mix together with all with the rice, vegetables, beef, and egg that was included in the dish. It was large portion served in a large bowl (which also made mixing easy). I have a healthy appetite and was full by the end of this meal. My wife actually finished hers, which was surprising, so she enjoyed the meal as well. The place was busy but it was clean and bright. Apparently, the prices have gone up very recently (as we overheard one of the customers in line claiming). However, the closest places to us (in Massachusetts) that serve bibimbap charge anywhere from $5 to $10 more for this dish (although more traditional.. no lettuce, authentic gochujang). This is an everyday common healthy meal or snack item in Korea served in smaller portions and you usually won't see it mid-level restaurants or above, more in food markets and alleyway mom and pop (one table) eateries. It is probably comfort food and a treat for many Koreans in the U.S., and also for me as it brings back memories of nice old Korean ladies getting a kick out of an American eating and enjoying their native food (this dish and many more more exciting items.... can you say Octopus still alive and moving (served on a stick). Thanks for a very good meal Suki Asia at a very good price. I can't say that we'll be back but if we are ever in the area again we surely will be. Note to the female customer with the Australian accent (maybe fake accent) who asked if we didn't mind if you sat next to us with your girlfriend: If you are sitting at the same table with people who were nice enough to let you sit there, please don't be loud and talk about such personal things as if you were in a private conversation. It's rude and inconsiderate. Nobody wants to hear what an "Aaaswhoole" Jeff is and the reasons why. Thanks. read more

The food is alright for the price you pay, this is conveniently located near to my office. My complaint is about Wendy, although "nice", 8 out of 10 times she gets my eat in order to go (now they even serve eat in disea on disposable to go containers!) and since they seem short on help, she has been really discouraging customers from ordering sushi. She always tells us how long it is for sushi, with a face of whom just do not want you to order it. This is just poor, terrible customer service! If you need help, hire help. Or stop serving sushi altogether! The other day I was eating in when she just left and went to the bank, more than 10 customers who came in, just left, since there was no one to take their orders! read more
