I really enjoyed dinner at Zeppelin. We checked in for our reservation and were quickly seated on the very nice outdoor patio. Our server was polite and welcoming, and I appreciated his drink recommendations. The drink menu has great diversity too. I opted for the Lit Limeaid -- super refreshing as the weather warms up. I ordered the Yakitori Donburi Bowl with a fried egg on top. Bold flavors and nicely cooked chicken, which was nice. Too often, chicken dishes can be dry. I'd maybe recommend they add some tempura vegetables to the bowl just to give a little more variation among the ingredients, but overall, still a great dish. The line for the restroom can get long and is awkwardly close to the kitchen. I waited for about 7 minutes or so and felt incredibly in the way of the wait staff. Overall a great spot and I look forward to returning! read more

This neighborhood gem always delivers on service, food and drinks. I'm pretty lucky to have Zepplins

A friend and I visited Zepplin DC on Saturday night with hopes of enjoying a delicious meal and a great night filled with karaoke. Walking into the restaurant I immediately admired the environment. It was a dimly lit bar area with additional options of upstairs and outdoor dining. Since we were there for karaoke we were sat upstairs. The waiter came by and took our drink orders immediately. I ordered the Heartbreaker. I was attracted to that drink because I really like Mezcal. However, the drink was more smokey than I expected. I thought the passion fruit and other sweeter ingredients would balance the flavors out more as I have experienced in other mezcal drinks. However, that wasn't the case. Nonetheless, the drink is made nicely and doesn't skimp on the alcohol. I also ordered the spider roll. It was presented nicely and tasted pretty good. Nothing amazing. So about the karaoke.... it was definitely an experience. There is no stage. There are big song books that singers can select from. There are monitors on the wall that display the song lyrics and mics are passed around to the brave who decide to sing or rather yell to really loud music. I know karaoke is all about fun. However, the music is veryyyy Loud and the speaker was above my table so my ears were relieved after exiting. Imagine drunk people yelling Bohemian Rhapsody right next to you on top of really loud background music and the speaker above your head. I figured it'd be a bit different. However, it's a restaurant with some karaoke equipment not a karaoke restaurant. All in all I had a good time. However, I could only see myself going there every blue moon if ever again. Another thing I found bizarre was they took the liberty to add a 20% gratuity to our bill for a table of two. I thought gratuity is only added for groups of 6 or more and for smaller tables the diners chose their tip amount. I wasn't a fan of the forced gratuity for a sushi roll and drink. Go to Zepplin DC if you want some decent Japanese fare and the option for boisterous karaoke. read more

Great spot with trendy cocktails, tasty sushi, and outdoor dining. We came here for a fifteen person birthday party and the service was fantastic. Staff are friendly and attentive and provided great recommendations. They had a great selection of sushi and other easily shareable dishes. We'll be back for another meal! read more

3 star sushi, 4 star ambiance/location. Coming from Seattle, we visited here on the recommendation of a friend. We made reservations for 6 p.m. on a Wednesday for a group of 6. It was pretty quiet until about 7/7:30 p.m., though. We sat outside and there's a great courtyard with string lights that sits on the street. One thing though: OMG THE MOSQUITOS. The restaurant brought us out bug spray and honestly, I thought they were being dramatic. They weren't. I was wearing long sleeves, long pants and sandals - my feet were completely bit up as well as a mark on my face when I left. Not sure if this is typical for DC or not, but heads up - take the bug spray and coat yourself! We started with the mango salmon app - it was alright, not as 'mango-y' as I expected, but the salmon was good and the presentation was beautiful. We ordered many rounds of drinks, and our server was on top of it. For dinner, we ordered a number of sushi rolls/nigiri to split. Overall, I wasn't amazed by any of the sushi EXCEPT for the fatty tuna. It was DELICIOUS. Really melted in our mouths - each of us commented on how amazing it was. As for the rolls, they mostly just carry the standard sushi rolls and I would say they're pretty typical. We did have a small incident where our server spilled a beer on our large tray of sushi - they quickly cleaned it and remedied it, bringing us out new sushi in a short time. We were sympathetic, but at first our server told us that he may have to cover part of the sushi if the restaurant didn't. I was a server for many years and not once did I have to pay for something like a spill... I thought this odd, and really hope that he was confused and the restaurant doesn't ask this of their staff. Overall, our service was nice, the ambiance was very calming and 'pretty', and the sushi was not memorable, but still sushi so of course it was delicious. read more

I have to say that for most of my adult life I have been very reluctant to try sushi again, I was convinced I didn't like it from my first introduction to it over 10 years ago. I finally made up my mind to give it a second try and I am glad I did but I am even more glad that Zeppelin was the chosen place! I'm not quite sure what rolls I ate since I let my husband take the lead on this one but now I am obsessed! We've been eating sushi for the past three days and I am horribly sorry for not having pictures but once the food arrives I dig right in. Thank you Zeppelin for such a wonderful reintroduction to sushi and making me fall in love with it! I can't wait to visit the restaurant in person and then I'll be updating this review with plenty of pictures :) read more

Dining there was a rather regretting experience. Went there to celebrate my partner's birthday because he missed food he got in Japan. The host was not professional and gave us a funny face when settling us down. Our waitress was working as a bartender at the same time, and often didn't have time to attend to us. We waited really long for the sashimi, which didn't make sense to us since it's raw, and they still gave us the wrong dish. Food was just ok given how high their rating is. Environment was noisy and chaotic, had to yell across the table to talk. Don't recommend it at all and will never go again. read more

Visiting from Florida and we cross paths with some regulars at another restaurant who recommended Zeppelins for great high quality drinks for a more than fair price ($15 for Blue Label Johnny Walker is a steak). The bartenders, staff, and manager are very professional, friendly and provide amazing customer service. The drinks are unique and taste superb. Margo and Maddie are the bartenders ensured we had a good time and provided some great areas to explore. Dave the manager was down to earth and easy to talk to. If you like a nice environment, great drinks, and great sushi this is the place. Photo of The Baldwin Drink read more

Been meaning to leave this review for a hot minute. Love Zeppelin and eat there regularly - highly recommend! The setting is great, they have tons of covered outdoor seating (Covid safe!) and also a very cute bar space inside. The drinks are super creative and always delicious. My partner raves about the sushi and I personally really dig their non- fish options (the beef harumaki and okonomiyaki are SO good). The staff is wonderful and attentive. 10/10 for date night, solo bar hang or friends night out. read more

$175 for rubber fish. The hamachi and kampachi tasted the same. The uni... ohhhhh the uni was so sad and skanky. I had to hard-swallow. Like when your parents force you to eat the food you hate. Problem is I love uni and dream about it. Face was recommended to me by a friend. This will be the last time I listen to that friend. If you are a college age and you think that sushi should be filled with cream cheese and lit on fire, this place is for you. But if you take Japanese food seriously then you may not want to come here. Nothing tasted like it should. Not even the chicken thighs. Good luck. read more

They have great drinks and great happy hour prices at the sushi bar - and on weekends! My friends and I stumbled upon the happy hour about a month ago and I've since gone back twice. The decor is chic, the vibe is good, and the prices can't be beat. Also, I would love to know where they got their wall paper, because it's really cute and different in every room! As a vegan, I can't really speak to the sushi quality, but everyone I've been with has raved about the quality. The rice is fresh, the plum roll in particular is something I crave, and Zeppelin has easily become a fixture in my short list rotation of great DC options. read more

The best karaoke joint in town. Their drinks are strong and the crowd is amazing. Come through on a weekend night for a great time. Sure glad we came back during weekend karaoke after a stellar dinner. Head's up - their is a minimum fee. read more

Wow. I love Chaplin's, so I had high hopes for this place. Thankfully, I was totally blown away! It's some of the best sushi I've had in a long time. The rice is warm and well made and the fish is fresh and soft. The chu toro and oo toro are exceptional - these folks know how to buy fish! I'm so excited to come back and try more on the menu. The skewers also look great - my friends had the chicken meatballs and chicken thighs and said they were great. The tempura shrimp and veggies are excellent. The tempura is light and fluffy and the veggies and shrimp and fresh and flavorful. They also have a great cocktail menu, with lots of fun and playful flavors, just like Chaplin's. This spot is certainly one of my new favorites in the neighborhood. read more

Zeppelin - Sushi!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Walking in, one is immediately charmed by the renovated approach to the first floor. It is now graced by a large and really nicely designed bar space. The bar itself has an art deco feel. The room is ringed by intimate booths and tables. It tells you immediately that a cocktail is going to be made with care and we certainly found that to be so. After taking a table on the oddly cramped patio under a really fantastic wall mural, our cocktails came out quickly and were delicious. The whole cocktail menu was inviting and I would highly recommend a happy hour here. Unfortunately, I would recommend dinner elsewhere. Given that this was our first time, we ordered off of several parts of the menu. Starting with tempura, we found it to be a little greasy and not as light as one would hope. The yakitori was probably the highlight - we ordered the small chef's sampler and received silky pork, chicken thighs, chicken meatballs and two chicken breasts (why two of the same thing on a sample platter?). In any case, each was cooked well and yummy, though quite pricey. We also ordered sushi - both pieces and rolls. They were fine, but you can find better bites for less price in a lot of other joints. So, I recommend a drink at the bar with a few yakitori. read more

Great spot for sushi if you live in the city. Prices are fairly reasonable. Their seafood okonomiyaki was delicious as well. Came here with the intention of trying their frozen cocktail Painkiller but their machine was out of order :( read more

Zeppelin - Spicy Tuna, Maki (Salmon, Negitoro, Hamachi), Spider Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Good ambiance, okay food. Zeppelin oozes cool. The venue itself is uber sexy and upscale Japanese without being too corny about it. I could see going here just for the ambiance alone, which says a lot. Even the cheap sake here is delicious, which is a welcome surprise. The food here is hit or miss. Though sushi portions are always smaller than you might expect, I still felt that some dishes were the tiniest of bites, and was often left wanting more. While some of the dishes were good, none stood out or otherwise were superior to any of the other Japanese places in the area. Long story short? Not a foodie place, but maybe a good date place. read more

First time and last time here. Ambiance is okay, food's alright but not great. Service was very very very crappy, we literally just sat down, waitress #1 hopped over taking our wine orders before we looked at the menu, and she froze there staring at me, like I was an a*hole that inconvenienced her, well then I just gave her my order without looking at the menu. Then waiter #2 came over asking our wine order again, it's NOT over yet, waitress # 3 stopped by to confirm our order. Never thought serving a beer was a slideshow at Zeppelin. Our plates were never cleared, we had to home serve ourselves. We don't mind getting a bit hands on, but it's very self explanatory to the quality of the service. And we'd like to order more food, we wrote out orders and waited a good solid 15 minutes, we got disappointed again unfortunately. There are plenty of sushi places in this neighborhood, we won't be back. read more

Wow. I feel as though writing a review for a dining experience as superb as this one was would be doing it some injustice. But I will try my best to describe the amazing Omakase dinner we had here. My girlfriend took me here to my birthday. We were sat upstairs in a small, intimate area directly across from out sushi chef that would be serving our Omakase. Once seated, we got to talk with our friendly and outgoing sushi chef, Kevin, as he prepared and described to us each amazing piece of fish he served. Every piece of fish the Kevin gave us was fresh, delicious, and tasted better than any sushi I've had in the past. Perfection. The contrast between the temperatures of the warm rice and cool fish were exactly how they were supposed to be. The fatty tuna (of which Kevin hooked us up with two pieces) melted in your mouth and provided a flavor that is simply indescribable. The texture of the fish was like no other. Kevin later told us that they only serve fresh fish, never frozen there, and that a lot of sushi restaurants serve previously frozen fish, completely altering the taste and texture of the fish. This was most significantly exemplified by the homemade octopus nigiri he served us. Not one bit chewy, even to the slightest degree, as every piece I've ever had. Kevin is a sushi chef that has it down to a science. He's like an artist with every piece that he prepared for us. Every aspect of the sushi, he has figured out. Kevin is a real sushi chef and Zeppelin is fortunate to have him. Thank you for a wonderful birthday meal that I will remember for the rest of the my life. read more

I have been looking forward to trying this and admit without some investigative action on my part and willingness to take a chance on going somewhere that might not have been open, I would not have tried Zeppelin on its first night open to the public. I've been a big fan of Minoru Ogawa. I've dined at Sushi Capitol and fell in love with the cheek appetizer and I loved how fresh and diverse the fish options are at both Sushi Capitol and Sushi Ogawa. It was not obvious that the restaurant was open when I searched online yesterday but somehow I kept recalling March 4 so I took a chance and made a reservation via OpenTable. I saw that there was omakase at 6 and took another chance making a reservation close to that time so I could be seated for omakase. Unfortunately, omakase was not served and there was no explanation why. Our nice server said they are planning to offer it later in the week with two seatings each night. For the time being, it might be that we have to call in advance to request omakase. Initially, I was impressed with the hostess when I announced myself because she seemed to know right away about my reservation. After a few minutes and seeing all the people at the bar downstairs and then a table of seemingly friends and family upstairs, it was evident that we might have been the only one with a dinner reservation at that time. We were led up a rather dark stairwell to a dining room that has been reported to seat 65. Around the perimeter are tables and and banquette seating that wrapped around most of the edges of the room. In the middle is a tall table with dividers to accommodate smaller parties. My party of two was shown to a corner with a circular table. If there is one complaint I could lodge, it would be that it was dark. I usually sit in an office with no lights on but windows wide open and I found it very difficult to read the menu. On top of it being difficult to read, the sushi menu was not printed when we were seated. I inquired about it and the very attentive and polite server said it was being printed out. He also noted that the back of one menu was not accurate and asked us to refer to the loose paper menu. Without omakase and the prospect of not being offered fresh fish, I was tempted to walk out but luckily the sushi menu arrived. We enjoyed the negitoro (fatty tuna with scallion). My dining companion and I really liked the aji (horse mackerel) nigiri. We also tried the gindana (sable fish), iwana (arctic char), kampachi (amberjack), ama ebi (sweet shrimp) and madai (red snapper). Of the five other nigiri, I liked the sable fish. I've read some of the fish comes from Tokyo. In any case, it's by far the freshest and most diverse selection I've sampled, and I really like that Ogawa San blends his own vinegar for rice and grates fresh wasabi. The freshness and flavor are evident in each bite. We also opted to try other menu items such as shrimp tempura. There were five pieces served with dipping sauce. I don't usually like tempura but was reminded that tempura and Ogawa means light delicious batter. Worried we would not be satiated without omakase, we opted to split an order of una don. We both had some little pin bones in the eel but I found it otherwise delicious. White rice and a soy-based sauce on grilled eel, what's not to like? Zeppelin also offers yakitori. It wasn't clear from the menu whether the prices were for one skewer or two, but we ended up being presented with two which made the pricing more palatable. We ordered the yaki onigiri and tsukune. Personally, I would skip yakitori. It's not my thing. I am here and will be loyal to the fresh fish. Having sampled a little bit of everything from the menu, I have to strongly recommend the fish. It's the star and where else do you get to try fish that's not typically offered under the guidance and presented under the tutelage of a sushi master? As far as the food goes, it was great; music was too when it wasn't oscillating in volume. Our server was wonderful and came over to refill our glasses of water and clear plates as we were finished with them. He explained all the sushi that was presented on our plate. I think there might have been two other servers and they kind of just dropped off food. To be fair, I don't think people appreciate that we are going to order as much as we do and there wasn't a lot of table space for that. On top of that, the shrimp tempura appetizer came out after the sushi and una don. My dining companion noted it was weird that photographers were taking pictures of food while the restaurant was open to diners and that it should it been taken care of beforehand. The flashes were distracting. I was surprised we didn't get a thank you or good bye for coming in. Other things to note: there is karaoke but since we had an early dinner reservation, we did not witness it. Omakase is served upstairs in a separate but adjacent room to the main dining room. read more

I had a good experience at Zeppelin. The hostess greeted my friend and I and we didn't have to wait long on a Friday night before we were seated upstairs. I thought sitting upstairs might be quieter. It was actually still difficult to hear each other talk sometimes, but that's typical of most popular DC restaurants. I ordered the chirashi. It was fresh, reasonably portioned, and satisfied my sushi craving. Our server was fairly attentive and water service was fine. They also have karaoke. The server asked if I was interested in singing. For me, that signaled time to leave. For others, it looked like a fun time. I would return for the chirashi again, as well as trying some other dishes. read more

Yummy sushi in DC! We choose this place because it is known for accommodating gluten-free diet with a Celiac cross-contamination protocol. They did not disappoint. Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu. They are made in a safe way, and I did not get sick. Tons of variety for both gluten-free as well as other options. Food itself was fresh and beautifully presented. Staff was attentive. It's hard to find a sushi place that will not only provide you with tamari sauce, but will implement cross contamination protocols to make sure that you're not accidentally getting glutens. This place delivered on that! Plus, all the rest of their food was fantastic, and the rest of my party was super thrilled to be eating there. read more

With DC being a Mecca for amazing restaurants, I was anxious at choosing the best spot for my significant other's birthday, and I'm so glad I chose zeppelin. I reserved the omakase bar for 8pm on a Thursday. We arrived 30 minutes early and received a seat right away. The seating was a smaller space in front of the sushi bar and felt nice and private. Kevin was our sushi chef, and was incredible! We all have a connection being from Philadelphia, and he really did a fantastIc job. You can tell he truly loves the art of sushi. I don't think I've ever been this full in my life. We had approximately 30 pieces of fish. Favorites included o'toro and the eel. We got mochi for desert and I know I sound boring it the vanilla was my favorite. Just prepare to spend a pretty penny here. It's well worth it for us, it was a fantastic experience. If you're interested in a great omakase dinner... come here! You won't regret it. read more

Zeppelin - Chaplin Roll, Zeppelin Roll - so good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

If I had to rate this place the interior ambiance and service was a 5/5 but the food was a 3.8/5 and the cocktails were 5/5. These might have been the best cocktails I've had in dc this month. However, it wasn't bad sushi I just felt that it wasn't particularly memorable. The rice was a bit mooshy and the eel roll was not melt in your mouth. I felt like the presentation of the sushi too could've been a bit better. If you're going to a nice restaurant for a date this is your place but if you are a serious foodie this isn't the best sushi. I would most likely not go back but I do recommend this place to people who want a good experience of a fun, trendy sushi restaurant. read more

"We have ramen here, let's do sushi there!" - One of Chaplin's owners, probably. One of my favorite restaurants in D.C. is Chaplin's, known for its (underrated but competitive) ramen and great drinks. The owners operate this new restaurant up the street, although it is still finding its footing. It took 20 minutes to be seated despite 1) plenty of seating in the restaurant and 2) three people helping us out. Growing pains maybe, but it was very confusing and somewhat awkward as nobody seemed to be in a rush to help us get a table even though we had a reservation. We ended up near the upstairs sushi bar--ask for this location if you want a quieter meal. The bar seating downstairs and main seating area upstairs are both super loud. And there are plastic dividers separating a long table for those "millennials" (apparently myself included?) who are fine sitting next to strangers. I ordered some of everything to see the range the chefs could offer. Nothing was mind blowing amazing, but everything was very good. The sushi itself is above-average for D.C. but not the best (Sushi Taro reigns supreme). We ordered a large yakitori to share and enjoyed the pork and chicken skewers. Actually, all of the yakitori were amazing. The large assortment was great to share among two people and provided a variety. We also ordered the chicken with lotus and marinated beef--both came with salad on the side and were presented similarly, which would have been nice to know (our waiter did not warn us that they were very similar dishes minus the protein). Everything came out basically at once, which posed a slight issue since there was not a lot of room where we were sitting. The staff seemed to be confused too but put the food in front of us regardless. After ten minutes we had all the food we ordered, which is great that we didn't have to wait but was annoying because we didn't have room on the table and could not pace out the meal. Those with veggie friends who eat fish will find plenty of options here, which is another plus. And there is an outdoor patio with plenty of seating, great for the upcoming summer months. Our drinks were great and consistent with Chaplin's and should be a great draw for coming. Grab a drink and some yakitori, and you won't be disappointed. read more

I lived in Japan for a year and it is very hard to find food that can even compare to Japanese food. The fish was nearly spot on with the flavors I experienced in Japan. I regret not getting the scallop, yellowtail, and chicken yakitori but it was my first visit and I feel two items I ordered (mushroom yakitori and chef's choice sushi) were a good first visit selection. Great music was playing at the bar and karaoke was in full swing upstairs! Bar was a little chilly with the draft of folks in and out, but I did enjoy the visit. read more

While I've historically had good experiences at Zeppelin, the quality and service have gone substantially down hill. On a recent evening, a fairly standard order for two people took nearly an hour and a half to be served, with the server only having the opportunity to check in a few times during that period. To make matters worse, one meal came out a full 20 minutes before the others, meaning that my companion's meal was gone before I received my food. Accordingly, I asked them to box up my meal so I could take it home, rather than have my dinner companion wait and watch me eat for an additional 20 minutes. My udon dish was placed in a container that did not (and could not) seal, so the entire contents of my meal had leaked into the plastic bag by the time I got home. In other words, while I would like to comment on the quality of the food, I unfortunately can't. We won't be returning. read more

Super fresh sushi. There fish is flown in daily from japan. I also recommend the raw octopus with wasabi mixed into it. Delicious and great texture on it. Their other specialty is there yakotori. Some of my favorites were there shrimp and scallop and the chicken thighs. I also tried the donburi. Excellent taste but kinda large, so make sure you'll have enough people to try it or else it will become like an entree. There cocktails are super refreshing as well. Overall really fresh, excellent Japanese cuisine. read more

Made a special trip to Zeppelin during a recent trip to DC to see the Godzilla (my fiancée's favorite character) mural and to have a drink and a few bites. All of our yakitori bites were so delicious, and the sushi my fiancé had was so fresh and well-made. Our waitress, Chelsea was so incredibly friendly and helpful, explaining the lengths that Zeppelin has gone through to provide a great dining experience. She also chatted with us about Godzilla and the new movie, which was fun! All in all, Zeppelin really impressed me and I can't wait to come back during my next trip to DC. read more

Yum, hello... did not disappoint! Now I love my Edemame, but they were out so based on their recommendation, I tried the Blistered Shishito Peppers. Absolutely loved them and squeezed the lemon on top for sure however, the sauce it was served with was on the bottom of the bowl so I had no idea it existed until I got to the bottom. Mistake if you ask me, it would have complemented better if poured on top...perhaps at the table. Sashimi was excellent!!!!! Tempura excellent!!!!Kushiyaki Ribeye Steak 2 Skewers excellent. Ambiance...two thumbs up. Go for it! No regrets here! read more

The sushi and drinks were excellent. Sushi was one of the best quality sushi I've had in DC. You could tell the sushi was fresh and prepared well. Our server was extremely kind and generous. The only downside came from the hostess who were not accommodating for us and rushed us out of our reservation even though we still had time left for our 1.5 hour reservation. I was very disappointed at the hostess service and it was outright rude. read more
