    7/8/26 - made reservations with Yelp at 6:30. Seated right away for 3 persons. Given menus and 90 minutes. OMG this was far better than my last experience where the sushi maker didn't show. We killed so many sushi's and loved them all. Waitress was the best as well as my male friend spilled water all over the table. Check out photos and the goodness you will have. 5 stars and go here. You will love it!!!

    I love this place. It's great quality sushi for a great price but all you can eat for $36 is 100% worth your while. Quick service as well. I take my friends here everytimenthey visit

    If you're looking for a spot that offers more than just ayce sushi, Toryumon is the spot for you! We came at a peak dinner time so it did get a little crowded, luckily they take reservations so highly recommended! While we were there multiple larger parties arrived so it does look like they can handle the larger crowds. We were seated closer to the sushi bar/kitchen area but it appeared that there was a larger dining area on the other end of the restaurant. Food wise, i highly recommend the sweet shrimp and scallop sushi! The pieces melted like butter and tasted so creamy! The rice quantity is on the bigger side as well as the portions so be careful when ordering. The ramen was also a hit along with the aged tofu! Those were my top favorites!! Service was decent! Nothing over the top, our server checked in a few times, and the overall service wasn't too slow given the crowd. There is no dedicated parking lot so street parking is it for this area. However, we parked in a garage and it was about a 5-7 min walk so not bad if that's the route you want to go.

    My friend introduced me to this place once and ever since then, we never looked back! I am new to DC and thought I would never find a good AYCE spot here. I was clearly wrong. This place is really central to downtown and is a perfect location. Staff is very friendly - but here you will have a bit more strict guidelines with the AYCE menu, so be sure to set a timer to be careful for your timing. The food is great, sushi is fresh and there are lot of appetizer options as well. They're usually accommodating to bigger groups which is also nice!! We usually do the specialty rolls and they make them look so pretty, but most important, they are delicious. At this price point, you won't find good, quality sushi for AYCE anywhere else!

    I was excited to see DC have an AYCE sushi restaurant. These are more common out west. I was by myself so not able to try as much variety. The pink lady roll was my favorite. The others were also good given it's a $35 AYCE experience. Good for volume but won't be the best sushi you can find in DC. I arrived right when they opened so service was quick.other menu items are available on the AYCE but I didn't try them. I will definitely come back. The restaurant had nice ambiance, the staff were friendly and attentive. I like that they offer several rolls with soy paper. I like to mix it up from the nori. I wish they would do half rolls for the solo diner. I have a few of my favorite sushi stops that do that.

    Came here with my cousins for dinner. Located in the lower level (aka basement) of an office building on Pennsylvania Ave. Be careful walking down the stairs. It's at a 45 degree angle so kinda steep. You are welcome by a cartoony tourist bear in front of the restaurant. Very Kawaī! It's not most well lit restaurant, kinda dark but there are lights above where you sit so you can see your food if you are below the lighting. We, a party of 6, sat in a both. The service was attentive. It took us a while to look over the menu (extensive) but it's more a sushi restaurant with other non-sushi Japanese dishes. We all chose ramen & one of the cousins also order Japanese beef curry. We also got the edamame as an appetizer. The edamame with salt was very morish. We got our food after 15 mins. The food came out hot but not super hot. I ordered the Toryumon House Ramen. So when I drank the soup, it was on the warm side. The noodles were still somewhat hot. The broth wasn't as flavorful/salty or as rich/deep as normal tonkotsu. There was 3 thin slices of chasu pork. Again, not as smokey & thick as really good chasu pork. Not used to having many long slices of scallions & corn in my ramen. Overall, the ramen was underwhelming. I think this restaurant is more for sushi. My cousin appeared to like the beef curry as he finished it all. It came with a side salad or miso soup. I've definitely had better ramen. But the restaurant and service was nice. If I do come back, I'd probably try a non-ramen dish.

    Within the Foggy Bottom neighborhood sits this basement-level sushi and Japanese spot that hosts a large seating space and bar. I visited for weekend dinner, and the restaurant was mostly packed with parties of all sizes. We were seated quickly, but it took a few moments before a waitress came to place our order. I'm chalking this to the front-of-house looking understaffed, so certainly not counting it against how friendly they were during our dining experience. There's a variety of menu options, but our attention turned to the $35 buffet. It's limited to 90 minutes, but I can confidently say this was one of the few times I felt thoroughly full by the end. You can order from an a la carte menu, with some premium sashimi add-ons for $7. I was pleasantly surprised that larger sushi rolls were all available as well. Once I saw the appetizer portion sizes, I almost felt in trouble with all that we ordered. Every sushi roll, dish, and appetizer were delicious and filling. I do wish they made it more clear which dishes were fried, such as the Age Tofu, since we unintentionally ended up with a lot of fried food. That being said, the Spicy Girl Roll hit the spot, and the Tonkatsu also is a large portion well-worth the price in the buffet. Toryumon is a great spot for dinner, and even greater for its value. A definite recommend for those especially hungry and fans of Japanese cuisine alike.

    Went to Toryumon Japanese House for lunch with 8 colleagues. Drinks, appetizers, and hibachi meals came out quickly, but the sushi rolls took over an hour (even the basic ones.) That was frustrating since some of us had to rush through lunch to make it back for meetings. That said, the food itself was delicious. Portion sizes were generous, and the ingredients felt high quality for the price. I'd definitely come back, but probably with a smaller group and only when time isn't an issue.

    Authentic Japanese Restaurant! I love Hibachi Vegetable Delight with brown rice! Wow!! Yummy and large fulfilling portion on Hot Stone plate!! Nice decoration and table setting! Service is attentive and fast! Foods are worth the price! Will come back! Highly recommend!

    Ajitama Hot Ramen
    Zhen C.

    History of Present Indulgence 32 yo M on a journey to try every ramen in cities he lives in presents for a quick lunch on a day he's working from nearby cafes. Physical Examination Food - The Spicy Ajitama House demonstrated excellent broth density and depth of flavor. The spicy variant was not overwhelmingly spicy. Broth noted as "rich" and "tasty". Accompanying ingredients described as "yummy accoutrements". Disappointment expressed regarding inability to try extensive menu selection of sushi, katsus, currys, donburis, appetizers, and more. Service - Staff noted as efficient. Made for a good option to have a workday lunch. Ambiance - Environment is relaxed and reported as "not stuffy". Physical space conducive to casual dining with friends and social alcohol consumption. Assessment Solid Japanese casual dining establishment with comprehensive menu offerings and efficient service. No complaints. Low frills. Plan - Follow-up in 3-6 months to evaluate other menu options with specific attention to all-you-can-eat buffet option - Recommend to others for casual dining with friends

    AYCE Sushi

    My wife and I totally love they now have an All You Can Eat Option. So much sushi, appetizers, and dishes to choose from, plus mochi is now included. We have been back three times since they introduced AYCE, first with my dad for Father's Day using an OpenTable gift card, second with a good friend of my wife from out of town, and third just me and my wife. The quality is just as great as Al A Carte and much better for our wallet. This is far better than Sushi Para that we loved before. Service and ambiance is always great as well. Thanks for doing this as us and many others in DC are going through uncertain times.

    I've only gotten lunch takeout- but it's amazing so I've done it multiple times! They have a fantastic lunch combo and a few different options. I normally get two rolls and a salad and it's the perfect fresh, light lunch at a great price. The ingredients are fresh and well prepared. They seem to have a bunch of other nice deals on the menu, so I'll continue to check it out! Great spot to order online, head over to scoop it up and eat in the park nearby on a nice day.

    Stopped here for a Friday night dinner while in town for a convention. We have eaten at this restaurant at the Arlington location and were impressed. PARKING: Street parking across the street - 2HR limit which is great, but - it's limited availability. We were able to snag a spot and walked over. Location is a flight of stairs down - and situated inside next to a boba joint. SEATING: We had a reservation but there were several open tables. We shared two orders of buns (bulgogi, pork), gyoza (didn't take pic), and takoyaki balls. In addition, we eat got a sushi roll. The gyoza were standard, the buns were very good - succulent meat in each variety and crisp vegetables and sauce on top. I got a maki roll with fried shrimp, spicy mayo, I think the yummy roll which was good. For my entree I ordered the miso ramen, and added an extra side of noodles. Ramen was very good. I have not had a bad experience at either location, and happy to say I'll keep coming back.

    Daikaya -- Washington, DC…read more Walked in expecting a solid bowl at a shrine to Sapporo-style ramen and left feeling swindled by a soup that tasted like it had never been to Japan. This wasn't a bad day in the kitchen -- this was a fundamental misunderstanding of what Ramen is supposed to do. The Breakdown Broth: F -- I ordered the shoyu. It's way too simple, flat, and an insult to the bowl it was served in. Does it really take 16 hours to make soup that tastes like beef broth bought at Walgreens? I'm not a heavy oil person but there was also a noticeable lack of oil to give the soup any depth either. Is anyone in the kitchen tasting the soup or had ramen before? Genuinely puzzled by how bad this is. This would never fly in Japan. It shouldn't be ok here either. Noodles: B -- honestly the only competent part of this bowl. They say they're shipped in from Japan. Protein: F -- a pile of unseasoned ground pork sitting next to massive slice of chashu so bland it made me question the pig. What are we doing here? This is too much poor meat. Quantity over flavor, and it showed. Toppings: C -- the egg was tasted great, perhaps the most flavorful part of the meal, but half of it was warm and half was cold. Green onions seemed to be all the green bits from the top and none of the white parts on the bottom. And then -- the cucumber salad. A tiny $10 side dish for a quarter of a cucumber in soy sauce and sesame seed oil. Charging this much for such a small quantity is it's own kind of crime. Mind you, it tasted fine but I really expected more and it's ultimately what bumped this 2 star review down to 1 star. Overall: My Japanese ramen radar was blaring "fake ramen" the whole time at this place. This felt like a Ramen place run by people who had never been to Japan. And while that is ok, if you end up serving ramen that's so lacking in redeeming qualities then I have to call it a failure. That bad pricing on top of that is just a kick in the nuts. I felt misled by the reviews. DC's ramen scene deserves better than this 2/10

Wild how they make so much tasty vegan stuff. Although, my Korean fried Chick'n sandwich definitely needed more accompanying tater tots ( I had maybe 10). Food came out super fast. Service has to be 3 stars though. Our server said the gochujang mayo wasnt spicy, when gochujang is (it's got a mildly strong kick that quickly evens out/dissipates) so that's just incorrect to tell people who can't handle heat. More importantly, we were all done with desert at roughly 9pm and it wasn't until 9:40, despite multiple moments of eye contact from a few of us, that our server even came to our table to clear our plates. We'd all clearly been done, not even nibbling, for almost that whole time. In that time, other than his regular duties, our server seemed to do other idle things or "end of the evening" tasks, setting up other tables, stacking plates on them, etc. instead of checking on us. Again, a few of us made eye contact a couple times, which can indicate (along with none of us having touched our plates for 5-10 minutes) that we're done. Other plates had been cleared almost right away. We were also all left wanting for water at the end as no other staff came by to see if we needed more. So yeah, not thrilled about that. Also, it was weirdly a smidge too warm in Planta Queen tonight. I suspect the AC just wasn't on as strong because of the AQI in DC (on June 17, 2026) but it was noticeable.

My husband and I dined in for the first time today, and we were both very impressed with the atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Hayden was our server, and he showed exemplary hospitality skills. He made us feel welcome, checked in on us frequently without feeling overbearing, and made sure we knew the AYCE menu is double-sided. Speaking of, the AYCE is such a great deal! I used to live in Vegas, where AYCE sushi is very common. Unfortunately, for most of them, since the focus is on quantity, the quality suffers. This is not the case for Toryumon! Maybe it's because it isn't strictly an AYCE place. You can absolutely order items a-la-carte from their regular menu (as I had done previously for take-out). The items are exactly the same whether you order from the regular menu or the AYCE. Same quality, and, this is important, same size! Yes, you will receive a FULL-SIZED bowl of ramen if you order it from the AYCE menu. Not all of the menu items have descriptions, and I was surprised by some of them (not in a bad way, just wasn't what I was expecting), such as: The avocado salad. I was expecting it to be cubes/chunks of avocado tossed with a dressing. What came out was a lettuce salad with sliced avocado on top. The dressing was good, slightly sweet. It was a good salad, just not at all what I was expecting. The sweet potato sushi roll is served warm, the sweet potato is deep fried, and there is eel sauce on top. The sweet potato rolls I had other places were not fried, and served cold. I really enjoyed this one! Everything seemed very fresh, not a hint of wilting greens or brown avocado to be seen! I am so grateful to live right down the road from this amazing establishment. If you enjoy ramen, sushi, and other Japanese items, def give them a try! There are bathrooms available for guests. What my stars mean: 5 is outstanding, memorable, a place to write home about! A must-experience. Someplace I would love to recommend to tourists, and visit myself again and again. 4 is great, somewhere I'd love to return again and again. Back-up recommendation for tourists. 3 is good. A solid option if I am in the area. I may recommend to locals, but would probably leave it off my list of recommendations for tourists. 2 is ok, but only because it a great value, unique, and/or convenient. 1 means I would not return.
