    Lobster tempura
    David H.

    If you didn't know this place existed, you'd walk right past it -- and that's exactly the point. Naisho Room is a sushi speakeasy tucked behind the sauna room of a hotel gym in Tysons, and finding it already feels like part of the experience. Once inside, the vibe is intimate, moody, and intentional -- perfect for a date night or a "let's try something different" evening. We ordered a wide spread and honestly didn't miss once: * Japanese cocktails -- well balanced and thoughtfully crafted * All of the hand rolls -- fresh fish, clean flavors, and perfectly seasoned rice with a hint of sesame oil * Lobster tempura -- light, crispy, and not greasy * Stuffed shishito peppers -- just the right kick * Wagyu rice bowl -- rich, indulgent, and comforting * Kanpachi -- clean, delicate, and beautifully presented * Crème brûlée -- a smooth, torch-crack finish to the meal Service was attentive without hovering, and the pacing of the meal felt deliberate rather than rushed. Prices align with the quality and the experience -- this is not casual takeout sushi, but a destination-worthy spot.

    The Naisho Room is an absolute must-visit! I went to their speakeasy located in the Watermark Hotel, and it completely exceeded my expectations. When you arrive, check in at the small table in the lobby, then head upstairs to the gym, you honestly have no idea where you're going next, which adds to the fun. From there, you move through a sauna (with a cool smoke/steam effect!) and finally enter the main space, which has an incredible Tokyo nightlife vibe. The origami-themed decor and lighting make it feel like night-time in Tokyo. The Naisho Room tends to be a dessert and drinks after dinner. They do have an amazing food menu, but limited. Everything on their food menu was delicious especially the rolls. Their in-house ice cream is a must, matcha and miso were my picks. My friend was wary of the miso, but it ended up being my favorite, tasting like rich caramel. The crème brûlée is fantastic, and the donuts are divine. Their hand rolls are also top-notch, every dish I tried was delicious. Drinks are excellent too; I especially loved the ube cocktail. Reservations are made via Instagram, where you get a code to enter. They also have a separate okasake section, which adds another fun element to the experience. This is definitely a spot for a romantic date night or a special night out. Many speakeasies don't live up to the hype, but it absolutely does, they nailed both the food and the ambiance. Highly, highly recommend!

    Decided to try this hidden gem (wink wink) while staying at a nearby hotel. If you know, you know. The entrance alone is incredibly unique, and the interior design does not disappoint. This quaint Japanese-inspired speakeasy was such a delightful surprise in so many ways. We came here on a whim to celebrate my birthday, and I'm so glad we did. My husband, my bestie, and I started with the Wagyu tendon chips--phenomenal. Definitely a treat if you've never had them. Think upscale pork rinds taken to the highest level. We also shared the mini Wagyu kamameshi, which was soooo delightful. The presentation was unexpected--the meat arrives raw, but the heat from the bowl slowly cooks it into the rice. The result? Flavors that absolutely burst in your mouth, with top-tier Wagyu that delivers on every level. For drinks, the bartender made me a lemon drop with Haku Vodka. I'd never tried it before, but wow--it was incredibly smooth. My friend ordered a cocktail with Roku Gin and had zero complaints. I think real alcoholics drink gin... but that's another story. Between the ambiance, amazing company, and excellent customer service, I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking to try something new. It's also perfect for an after-dinner stop or impressing out-of-town guests. This speakeasy is truly a destination. The only drawback is that the space is a bit tiny, and prices are definitely up there--but honestly, they're on par for the area. This place earns a solid 4.5 from me, but since Yelp doesn't honor half stars, I'll round it up to a 5.

    Ambiance: Tokyo vibes. Chic, fun and classy speakeasy in Tysons Service: wonderful service from our waitstaff. Even the manager brought out some of our food. Food: small bites packed full of flavors. When they say small they mean it. But damn, everything was so tasty! Drinks were great as well. Ok - I've been here twice now but with friends because I can't seem to get a reservation. We did meet the bouncer and the hotel manager so hoping that will change. This is an 'exclusive' speakeasy....it was definitely a great spot for a ladies night. Definitely a date night contender!!!

    So secret, they put stickers on the phone, which is honestly kinda random. The lychee cocktail ( The Pearl of the Orient ) was pretty good and had a strong lychee flavor but no actual lychee in the drink itself. It actually tastes the same as the one at Wren. The menu has a limited number of small bites. The wagyu tartare toast was mid--they put wagyu in front of the menu too much. Honestly is too much of a gag for me. The Wagyu Kamameshi (Wagyu fried rice) was good, but the waiter mixed it up for us instead of asking. Lobster Crunch was easily the best, and the best way I could describe it was Lobster deep fried with shrimp chips. Honestly nothing super stellar and really not that hidden except that you need a reservation and go to Wren front desk. Honestly was just a more hidden Wren. Small portion and an expensive, but it's definitely creative and they spent time on the decor. Wish they offered a keepsake that you can only get if you dined there to add to the "exclusivity". I can see people coming for a yap session.

    We came for pre dinner drinks. Naisho room is a speakeasy, hidden in the "sauna" of the Watermark Hotel in Tysons. The vibe is great, feels like a small Japanese bar, the staff was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. We had a few appetizers (lobster tempura was the best!) and a couple cocktails. They offer a tasting menu, which we will come back and try. Some nights they have a DJ, but we left before he started

    Naisho Room, the new sister bar/speakeasy to Wren at the Watermark Hotel, is definitely one of Northern Virginia's coolest and most unique experiences! Originally they had a limited reservation "request" process & a no photo policy, but they've since changed to be more accommodating to the general public now, while still maintaining the secrecy theme~ Also they have live DJs playing music on Fridays & Saturday evenings, so that's definitely a cool touch. The food will be smaller bites, so don't expect to be having a feast. But the team behind Naisho & Wren definitely know what they're doing when it comes to seafood! We always love getting the sushi Hand Rolls & Nigiri, the Lobster Crunch was really delicious. My favorite though is the Wagyu Temamaki, a rice bowl with veggies & beef thats super savory. Of course theres also dessert & the artisan cocktails. The Creme Brulee is always my favorite dessert to get. The cocktails change seasonally but they're always well crafted, blending the flavors harmoniously!

    My husband and I went to the naisho room for a date night after getting a reservation off of their Instagram a couple days before. They don't allow you to take pictures inside so they placed a sticker on your phone upon entering. The way to find the entrance is to ask the hotel lobby, where the gym is located and go through the sauna. I found the entrance to be a cool vibe. We ordered several of the mini tacos and some cocktails. We thought the food and drinks were pretty overpriced and small portions. They did feature some nice cuts of sushi, but for the price I would eat somewhere else and just go for drinks.

The pianist swept you off your feet as she played back to back hits. What a romantic addition to the stunning decor and ambiance that this restaurant and hotel created. We sat in the bar area, no reservations needed. Drinks: I had to try their espresso martini after reviews that it was the best around...well, let's just say that the reviews aren't wrong! The espresso was brewed strong and the liquor pairing was perfect. 10/10 easily! My boyfriend's drink of choice was the Port of Angel's envy and he raved about how excellent the Angel's Envy bourbon was, said it was worth taking a bottle home. 10/10 Bar bites: I ordered what I called "girl dinner" lol the caviar & shrimp toast, which I can best describe as AMAZING! A perfect 10/10 My boyfriend ordered the crab cake sliders which came with a side of fries and honey, those crab cakes were DELISH! Perfect 10/10 The fries had a hint of truffle oil on it, making them even more addictive. Overall, I'm in love with the ambiance, food, and drinks and whether you choose this place for amazing drinks with friends, bar bites while watching their large screen TVs, or a romantic dinner in the main dining area-you will not regret it.

We were told we could sit at the bar or outside, but when we asked for one of the open tables, we were denied because they were "reserved for parties of three." That just doesn't make sense. We're still paying customers, ready to order food and drinks. Denying service like that--especially with empty tables in plain sight--feels unnecessary and rigid. I even asked twice, hoping for a little flexibility, but the answer didn't change. I work in the service industry, and this is exactly the kind of situation where you make an exception or use some common sense. Instead, it felt like policy over hospitality. Really disappointing experience for a place I was excited to try.
