Cheap and tasty. I had bibimbab with miso soup. The bibambab was great. It's not too spicy but tasty. I didn't have sashimi but it looked good considering from the customers next table. read more

Don't expect you're order to be complete within your lunch hour. They're never quick. But today I waited 23 minutes for chicken yakisoba. About ten people were served while I waited and the man taking orders worked to avoid eye contact. When I finally asked about my order, he tried to give me the wrong one - which the woman next to be was waiting for. I finally had to leave after 23 mins to get back for a meeting - without my lunch. It's sad that you can't rely on a decent turn around because the food is actually quite good. read more

I only had a few hours left before I had to skip town, so I came here with a friend for a quick lunch since it was near her office and she was holding my luggage before my flight. I opted for the spicy chicken-don meal. Spicy is relative, but this truly was HOT! Tasted like a ground chili paste slathered on the chicken. It was flavorful, but slightly bitter and not as smooth as I'm used to. It had a slightly sandy texture to it. The sauce would've been great had it not compeltely covered EVERYTHING, including most of the rice and the salad with ginger dressing. But it was still good. Also, I didn't really care for the cold edamame without any kind of salt, pepper or seasoning. But for my money's worth, I got plenty of HOT [emphasis added to show just how HOT!! it was] chicken and rice to keep me happy. read more

Come here for the lunch special - simple salad, steamed rice with cabbage, dumplings and delicious sushi. And it is CHEAP. Came here around 6 pm and the owners were very nice and still allowed us to purchase food with the lunch special price ($5.99). California rolls tasted very fresh - they even doubled our order, let us substitute portions of it and gave us free miso soup as we were eating. The owners/people working there were very nice. I'd even say that the woman reminded me of a nice grandmother that always wants to feed you. read more

My 5-stars is based on the one dish I get every time - Salmon Combo. My friends who are less monotonous than I have always enjoyed their meals. The fish is always incredibly sweet and refreshing. Always satisfying. The atmosphere is nothing to speak of by I enjoy the 80s music - sushi and Flock of Seagulls, mmmm. The wait can be long but they move as fast as they can. Hand made food takes time. read more

Moves quickly even during the lunch rush, and tons of delicious, fresh sushi for cheap! the salmon combo was more than enough for just $13. it's definitely somewhere to take your lunch out from rather than eat in because it's tiny and gets busy quickly will be returning :) read more

Not a bad mid-week lunch stop. This place gets pretty crowded for lunch, traffic started dying down around 1:30pm. If you're eating in, you'll have to awkwardly stand next to a table that's wrapping up. We ordered and waited about 15-20 mins before the food came out. They do serve green tea in a large jug in the front so you don't have to wait for someone to bring it out for you. Lunch specials are super affordable and it makes sense why it becomes a popular spot for lunch. There's different specials for each day of the week. No issues with food or service, all A-ok. Just a very small spot that gets really busy around lunchtime with great specials (pricing). read more

healthy, delicious, very affordable (lunch specials are around $6), miso with every meal, free ice/hot green tea, world's nicest staff and the place seems super clean (most dishes are prepared right in front of you, and you can sort of see into the kitchen too). I've worked around here for a few years and this is by far my favorite place for a quick-healthy-cheap lunch. read more

This place is a great find, and has quickly become my new favorite lunch spot. The have a special for $5.99 every day, with either beef/chicken/tofu, rice, veggies, edamame, salad, and miso soup. I always get the spicy chicken don, even if it's not on special, and I still walk out for less than $10. The chicken is really good and flavorful, the edamame and veggies aren't anything super special, but I like that they get added in so I feel like I'm being semi-healthy. Nothing here is over the top, "write home about" amazing, but everything is delicious and pretty fresh. For the value, portion, and overall quality/flavor, it's easily the best in this area. read more

I got the $6 bibimbap lunch, which came with a good amount of ingredients. as stated by others, the plate wasn't sizzling (something you yearn for after you try it), but since it's lunch and so cheap, i'm cool with that. the lunch also comes with miso soup, and they served free iced green tea. amazing value. i would give it 5 stars for value (and speed, which is a crucial metric for dupont lunchers), but i typically reserve my 5 stars on yelp for good-tasting food that blows my mind. read more

I've been going here for years and have never been disappointed. The best part is the variety; you can go by size or dish. Suki Asia serves some huge portions, but you can go for a single roll if you don't want much. Their eel bowl used to be my favorite. Now that I'm a vegetarian, I still go for the oshinki rolls and the tofu bowl. Suki Asia is one of the best sushi places in DC! read more

This place is so delicious and so affordable! I always get the tofu don lunch special. My only complaint is that it's not open on weekends, or I would grab it for lunch more often. read more

H*A*I*K*U*S*U*K*I Close to my office. They have yummy udon bowls; the sushi looks good too. read more

I have been looking for a sushi place for months by my work didn't know this place existed. Ordered Box A (Bento), I was impressed on how much sides they gave. The sushi is freshly made and tastes good, I will defo visit again. read more

I want to like this place, but a large piece of me can't go over 3 stars. First time I went, I got a tuna and avocado roll and bibimbap. I walked up to my office, and was overcome by the smell of the bibimbap. It was horrible and the beef looked very low quality. I literally threw it away without even tasting it. The sushi roll was good, so I figured I'll just make this my sushi place (tasted MUCH fresher than Nooshi, closer to my office, and larger rolls. Only downside was no real crab for california rolls, but oh well). Moral of the story: Sushi yes, anything else no read more

Mediocre sushi, no seating, ridiculous lines at lunch too. The food wasn't terrible---and if it didn't require me to hike a few blocks and wait in line for 20 minutes, then another 20 for my order, then I may go back, otherwise I've had better. One plus---the service is friendly. read more

This place isn't for a special occasion or anything of the like. It's a simple place with decent sushi at a good price. The staff is really nice and I've gotten the salmon chirashi (with the miso soup), the avocado roll, the spicy tuna, and the salmon sushi and they've always been pretty good. It's great if you're looking for a sushi lunch and work near it. That's the reason why I go. It's also pretty cheap. Avocado rolls are only $3!! They also have free iced green tea (at least in the summer) and it's pretty tasty. read more

4/5 cuz the seating area can barely fit 10 ppl. Besides that the food is amazing and their lunch specials are very reasonable. Great place to go if you want craving sushi (they are not skimpy on the raw fish too :)!). Great if your around the neighbor and are in a hurry read more

The service was friendly but the sushi was really meh. I asked for two California rolls and was directed to the rolls made earlier that morning, packed for easy pick up and go. I understand why they do this but freshly made sushi would have been nice. The sushi was $5.50 for 6 pieces which wouldn't have been bad if it wasn't mostly rice. I'm not picky with my sushi but I couldn't taste anything but rice. Maybe their other sushi is better but I wouldn't recommend what they have packaged in the front. read more

We ordered/shared a combination deluxe plate that had a variety of sushi. They were all tasty, we both enjoyed each roll, and ordered the vegetable if on soup. It was all more than enough. read more

Suki Asia is the best restaurant to go with friends. I love this place because clean, foods are delicious also there sushi's are the best because chef's are experienced for more then 15 years. Highly recommend read more

I'd give this place a 3.5. This is located right under my office, so it's convenience that I really like about Suki Asia. Is it the best Asia food I've ever had? No. But when the urge for sushi or beef don hits, it's a pretty reliable place. The have daily specials, where for under $7 (or $5 something plus tax) you get an entree and soup/soda. The portions are usually pretty big. Sushi is okay, a little expansive for the product you get, but satisfies any sushi craving. They get busy around lunch time, so if you can, call ahead, it's usually ready in 10 mins or less that way. The staff is really friendly too, which is a plus. I go in on a semi-regular basis and am now recognized - but they're nice to everyone. read more

After my move from NYC to DC, I was craving a cheap roll combo. The sushi here is ok, but just okay. I got the salmon tuna combo (I was disappointed that they didn't offer a standard "choose any x rolls" special) which included a spicy tuna roll and three pieces each of salmon and tuna, with soup and "salad" First, the sushi pieces themselves were good. The spicy tuna roll had ridiculously spicy sauce on top (and I love spicy food!) which made me suspicious that they were covering up subpar fish. That being said, it's not like it made me sick or anything. Given the price (the meal and a can of soda cost $16!) the sides could have been better. Edamame was fine, but the salad was like, some pieces of lettuce with a gross dressing on top. And the miso soup was very salty but otherwise bland broth, with no seaweed or tofu. I assume it came from a mix. All in all, it's not gross or anything, but I could have gotten the same amount of sushi at whole foods for that price. And I think it would have tasted better. read more

Suki Asia is a good quick spot at which to grab lunch downtown. It includes a limited but quite reasonable set of Japanese and Korean dishes, many of which are accompanied by your choice of soup (miso) or small salad. The bibimbap and bentos are quite popular. Though the restaurant is not terribly large, it does have around 8-10 two person tables scattered around its interior, as well as 2-3 outdoors. read more

They have good vegan/vegetarian options. I love their miso soup. I definitely recommend.

I go here once a week for lunch at least. The lunch special is more than enough food. The sushi is great but a little pricey. I really like their miso soup as well. I also usually get their either before 12 or after 1 because the wait can be awhile for your order during the lunch rush. read more

This place was very so so. The fish was really not the greatest. The seaweed salad was the best part. They also give you free miso or hot or cold tea. There are some spots to sit down. They have daily specials and the staff is friendly. read more

Came in a little after 2pm on a Wednesday, and was disappointed to see they were out of sushi--especially after I noticed the sign indicating lunch specials ran through 3pm. Got a beef udon instead; it came out quickly, but was otherwise unremarkable--a basic beef broth with underdone noodles, though I'll admit the beef portion was solid. Willing to try this place again for the sushi, but not until I've hit a few other spots and found no alternative. read more

This place has it all!! From sushi combos that won't break your budget, rice combos, to hot soups!!! They provide free cold or hot tea with all meals! This place always seems packed during the lunch rush, but they are organized and great at getting through things in a swift manner. Always so polite, Wendy says hello and goodbye, thank you and youre welcome over and over again to stress their kindness and gratefulness. Truly a landmark/staple in my weeks lunch routine! I do the Korean bow box lunch special or the spicy salmon roll combo! read more

Went here for lunch. The wait was pretty long, we probably spent 20-25 minutes waiting for our Pho and it was very hot inside. The chicken pho was just okay, the broth was a little flavorless with not that much chicken and the noddles were broken up into small pieces which made it hard to eat. Also when I got there around 12:40, they only had a few sushi rolls left. Just an eh place over-all. read more

This place is DIVINE. I go almost every day. First of all, the owners are SUPER friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Secondly, the taste...have you ever had sushi that just literally melts in your mouth? Here, you can get those. They have sushi rolls, sushi bowls, even bibimbap, Japanese curry, udon, unagi, and so much more. They even told me that they are adding healthy fruit smoothies on the menu for the summer, yay! The menu selection is so huge, I am not sure if I can try it all out in weeks or even months! Anyway, this place is worth the trip even if you are kind of far from the neighborhood. I didn't know DC made sushi like this, but they thankfully do. I daresay it is the best Sushi I had in DC for a long while, and I would know because I am obsessed with Sushi, and food in general. All I can say is, TRY IT, you will not be sorry! read more

Owner is so mean... she mistakenly charged my friend two dollar more and when we asked her to return the money, she started to being very mean. She said that it was our mistake and she felt so annoyed. Then, she asked us to come back after lunch time is over then she will give my friend two dollar back.. as she was so busy with other customers...oh gosh.. Of course, we were also customers, who were working and came to eat lunch during our lunch time. It did not make sense for me that she even suggested that.. probably it was just to make us feel bad. She ended up returning the money after making us waiting for additional 20 minutes and said things with attitude. I have not returned this place since then... read more

So this is my second time at Suki Asia. First time was mildly impressive. Today. Not so much. Unless you consider it impressive how ill I ended up. I think I may have gotten undercooked or raw marinated beef donburi. They're trying to do too much in such a small space. #Noma'am. The Bento and sushi I had last time were pretty good. I wanted to love this place. I feel like someone did the five-points-palm-exploding-heart on my stomach. Buyer beware. read more

quick lunch? not likely. while waiting, she asked what I ordered. I replied "tuna salad & dynamite roll." "sushi takes a long time..." was her response. I was order #44. i heard everything from 43 to 57 before i got my food. go when you...just got paid, 20 minutes to wait for your food, & the patience of a St. Bernard. read more

This place was definitely a gem and I feel so lucky to have found it. I moved to DC as part of a study abroad(within the US, not really abroad...) and internship program with the University of California and we actually had our facilities just a block around the corner from Suki Asia and I must say I went there quite a bit, probably at least twice a week. I always ordered the Bimbimbap or the Sushi Sashimi combo, sometimes both... I totally forgot to write a review for this place when I was there, so this is long overdue. Being from California and spoiled by all the Asian cuisine around me and my dad's amazing Chinese cooking, it was pretty hard getting used to not having that readily available. Suki satisfied my cravings as I love sushi and sashimi. The quality of their ingredients and fish are great and the prices are very affordable. The owners are very friendly and you can see the chef prepare the food right in front of you. After going their so much, I started addressing them as aunt and uncle haha. They fed me so well and no matter what I ordered they always gave me something extra. I am very grateful to Suki because without them I probably would have starved haha. It's been almost a year since I've been there and I cant wait to go back and visit again!! All the other low ball reviews dont really do this place justice. read more

Perfect for weekday lunch pickup. Two rolls for $10? Can't beat it. Their spicy tuna and avocado rolls are my fave.

I eat here at least twice a week, it is sort of quick comfort lunch food for me. I always get the bibimbap lunch special with miso. A totally reasonably priced lunch for $6 bucks with relatively quick turn around if you wait till after the big lunch rush. There are not a lot of seats here, so if you are trying to eat-in you might find yourself out of luck, but I always get it to go. I don't think anything here is exceptional or out of this world, but it's a solid offering in a part of town that really lacks decent food. They are open on Saturday, but don't have the lunch special on Saturday. Closed Sunday. read more

I passed by here many times over the past year, as it is on my walk home. But one day I finally processed what the place was. As soon as I saw it on the menu, I knew it'd probably get a bento box. If nothing else, it's fun to say! Anyway I got the sashimi bento box. The sashimi was alright. Sushi is not something I eat regularly and I don't consider myself an expert on it, although I suppose anyone can tell when it tastes "bad", or unfresh. It did not on my visit. I was super full but it was a bit expensive - like $12. But really there are so few places where you can drop less than $10 on lunch. I'll probably get bulgolgi or bibimbap next time. read more

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
