There are two tiers to the menu that are priced at $44 and $69 per person. The menu offered a little bit of everything from Bao buns to their popular Mixian noodles. The restaurant's design was clean, chic and minimal.

Very cute and inviting, great service, and awesome food. I'm pretty simple and didn't want anything too heavy, so I settled on the Yakisoba with chicken. I later learned that our waitress prefers it with shrimp, so next time I'll know! I could definitely see this becoming my little solo date spot, a cute place to meet up with girlfriends, or a cozy date night with your boo or beau. Cheers!

The waitress (so sweet) made a few alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options (it was late afternoon). I got the Seared Sakana which was a freaking 10/10. The options are salmon, tuna, and yellow tail--i asked for spicy tuna instead and they accommodated! It was soooooooooooo good. Melt in your mouth delicious. Also! Before the food came out, the sushi chefs plopped a plate of simple mini California rolls for us to eat while waiting. Free of charge of course. My partner got the Gyu-Don and it was also delicious. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because ppl who came after us got their food before my partner got his Gyu-Don; seemed like the kitchen forgot? So i got my roll before he got his meal, but after we mentioned it, it came out a few mins later. Definitely a yummy place, though. The atmosphere is light, it's very clean, and the service was great other than the lateness of the food which i blame the kitchen for lol. Highly recommended and would definitely come back.

We came here on a cool rainy June Tuesday to check out Ichiban. We were allowed to seat ourselves…read moreand since it was middle of the afternoon, there were plenty of tables to pick from. Service was fine and attentive. We like Ichiban and will definitely be back. Sushi and ramen are the biggies here, but there's other stuff too like bento boxes, fried rice and plenty of appetizers. We started out with the miso soup which was rich and flavorful. We also got the crunchy shrimp and crispy shrimp rolls. Both were good, but I especially liked the crunchy shrimp rolls. In addition, we ordered the pan-fried shumai. I'm used to steamed shumai, but I really like pan-fried. The dipping sauce that came with the shumai was tasty. JP ordered the salmon bento box. It came with endamame, pan-fried gyoza, carrots, sautéed onion, broccoli and white rice. The salmon with a nice glaze was delicious and perfect. I ordered the beef bento box. It was the same as the bento box, except instead of salmon, it came with a steak-like cut of sliced beef. This also was an excellent bento box.

Tried the veggie gyoza and the GOLDEN shrimp - that is a must order, so good! they do have Happy Hour from M-FR from 230- 630pm!! such a long HH, you need to take advantage of. The Seared salmon roll from the HH menu was my favorite. The Japanese cream puff was SO light, it was a perfect ending to our meal. The free parking garage next door (library parking) makes it so convenient. Highly recommend for a lowkey dinner date out!

Old Town Charm Food…read more We had the Fire Crunch and Rainbow roll. My daughter loved her rainbow roll and the Fire Crunch was unique and delicious. Everything seemed fresh. If I was to give any critique on the food it wouldn't be what we had but what wasn't on the menu. My wife doesn't like raw fish and it seemed like they had very limited options for rolls with all cooked ingredients. Service Wait staff was friendly and everything was brought promptly. Ambience It is located in down town Alexandria in a very pretty place to walk around. Lots of restaurants around. This one has limited seating as others have mentioned by we didn't have any problems getting a table. I would come back here with my wife or daughter but would hesitate to bring a large party due to size. Price Two rolls and a drink was around $50 Summary Overall great place check it out.

From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed with complimentary soup, salad, and water, all of which were fresh and flavorful. I visited around noon for lunch and was seated immediately. The restaurant was fairly quiet, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Service was exceptionally fast, and the staff was attentive throughout my visit. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner. I ordered the shrimp teriyaki, which was $23. While it may be slightly higher priced than some alternatives, the quality, convenient location, and free parking make it well worth the cost. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return in the future. If you're looking for quality Japanese cuisine in Old Town Alexandria, Hinata Sushi Bar & Grill is worth checking out.

We came to Caphe on the recommendation of some friends, but left disappointed…read more Some of the good at Caphe: the crispy roll is indeed excellent and the vermicelli fine. However, the young male staff is rather rude and indifferent. First, off there is a Wi-Fi available "Caphe Guest" (see photo). I asked one staffer what the password was, because Caphe is in one of those sections of Old Town where wireless access, like Verizon, is notoriously poor. The guy gave me some garbled answer and walked away. Alrighty, so I asked another staffer and he said he didn't know what the password was and walked away. That leads up to my order of chicken pho. I asked for no cilantro and that same waiter repeated my request for no cilantro. But when the pho was brought to my table, the green in the pho looked suspiciously like cilantro. I asked the waiter about it. He looked at the pho and said it was not cilantro. I took a sip and quickly determined there was cilantro in the pho. When I tried to get my server's attention, as he was standing in back of the counter, he saw me and haughtily turned away. So, I took the pho up to counter and asked that my order be remade. To Caphe's credit, Caphe did correctly remake my order.. But the pho broth was brown and had an odd canned flavor. It just wasn't very good.

If they had done a sweet and sour sauce for the coconut shrimp and like a soy based for the octopus, that would have been nice. Their sushi was very good though.

My mom got the salmon box and thought the salmon was alright as well. The whole meal was good overall, though there are other spots in the area I'd personally prefer to go to. As for the atmosphere, we sat outside, and it is a great spot to people-watch while you eat. The staff was great as well! Another huge plus is that there is plenty of paid parking right behind the restaurant, which makes it really convenient to visit the shops and spots around here.

Walking in on a Friday and being the only people in there should have been a sign. Service was fine, ambiance a little dark and not exciting. The sushi- the sushi was by all means gross. We had 4 different rolls and there was no distinct taste. All ingredients were mushy and creamy with no real structure to the rolls at all. The rice was hard as though it had been sitting out. We were extremely disappointed and couldn't barely stomach the rolls. They looked beautiful but just extremely mushy. We can't say we would return. Sorry ;/
