Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Bull Run

"In Dupont Circle, Sushi Taro is bustling at lunch time, thanks in part to affordable bento boxes filled with everything from sushi to fried chicken. This Washington favorite has traditional, spare decor and it's racked up acclaim, earning a Michelin star in 2019 for its omakase counter experience. It can be tough to snag a reservation for the omakase counter, but there's always sushi a la carte, with unique options like king crab mac & cheese or habanero scallops."

"The Michelin-starred sushi bar boasts a sleek Dupont Circle space planted atop a CVS. After an extended switch to takeout-only, chef Nobu Yamazaki’s renowned omakase menu is back in business inside the restaurant, offering customers small dishes, sashimi, and sushi for around $250 per person. Sushi Taro is also known for a strong sake list, a la carte orders of octopus tempura and salt grilled yellow tail jaw, and bowls of udon and soba noodles."

"Sushi Taro underwent a major renovation in 2009 and has reborn as an upmarket Kaiseki-style traditional Japanese restaurant, under owner Nobu Yamazaki. In a kaiseki-style meal, diners don’t order off a menu. Instead, the chef presents a succession of complementary dishes."

"Customers who step behind the curtain shielding the tiny dining room and chef’s counter will feel like they’re eating in Japan. A destination-worthy tasting menu restaurant, Nasime serves a five-course lineup that changes with the seasons. It usually features some sort of traditional soup, a grilled dish, and some of the freshest and most interesting sashimi in town."

"Over in Fairlington-Bradlee, check out May Island, which has earned four stars out of 164 reviews on Yelp. You can find the sushi bar and Chinese spot at 1669 N."

"If you are looking for an authentic Japanese spot that offers more than sushi, then Izakaya Seki is the place to be. In addition, Izakaya Seki is pretty restrictive on seating arrangements and reservation to enforce social distancing. All customers must sanitize and put on masks while on the premises."

"Izakaya Seki is tucked into an unassuming and narrow, two-floor row house. Choose to eat upstairs in the dining room or downstairs at the chef’s bar. Either choice is equally no-frills; coat hooks are just about the only décor."

"Happy hour lovers in the District rejoice at the thought of a night at Maté. Its delicious sushi, an array of reasonably priced cocktails and sophisticated atmosphere puts it on the map for those visiting the District. Best of all, it has a prime Georgetown Waterfront location and unbeatable happy hour deals."

"Susheria by Maté (formerly Maté) in Georgetown is designed as a hip, all-day neighborhood hang-out spot. Its menu features creative Peruvian-Japanese fusion (see the nikkei maki an..."

"A mural on the building housing this lively Japanese izakaya depicts Godzilla about to rumble with a giant squid. Inside the two-story space, diners wrestle with what to order—there’s so much to choose from. The wide-ranging menu references Japan’s Edomae era with sushi (rolls, nigiri, sashimi) that doesn’t lean on frilly extras for its straight-from-the-Land-of-the-Rising-Sun cuts."

"If you’re out for a good, ambient time with lots of good food, then all you have to do is drop by Zeppelin. The restaurant offers Sushi, Yakitori, a cocktail bar, and an outdoor and indoor bar as well. All customers and staff members are required to put on masks, and the restaurant offers limited seating capacity to enforce social distancing."

"This restaurant serves up a variety of yakitori, or Japanese grilled chicken skewers. Combination plates include one with skewers seasoned in only sea salt, and one full of skewers served with plum, miso, kosho, and yuzu sauces. There’s also the chef’s selection of 10 skewers for two."

"I had Taste of Asia back in 2018 and it did not impressed me with its ramen noodle soup. I decided to give it another try 3 years later and happy to say ..."

"The DC Improv’s first show featured Ellen DeGeneres, Dave Chappelle and Brian Regan!. For more than two decades, the club has hosted some of the best comedians in the country, featuring both established comics and up-and-comers. Check them out here."

"Secure Improv Comedy Club - Arlington tickets today from TicketSmarter to catch the next big event. Arlington, TX locals agree that this is one of the best places to go for live entertainment in the city."

"You’ll eat to the tune of bubbling hot pots at this Virginia Square dining room. The waitstaff urges a cauldron per person, filled with simmering stock in which diners can cook an à la carte array of meats, seafood, and vegetables—we found that a single order for two to three people works perfectly well, and you’ll have more room to sample from the expansive Szechuan menu. The fare is both spicy and drink-friendly—large-format beers are offered for a reason."

"Mala Tang’s menu is based on the street food one could find in Chengdu, the capital of China’s Sichuan province. That means hot pots on portable burners loaded with broth, in which a diner can cook their own meat, prepared with care by Mala Tang’s kitchen staff. Hot pots can be individualized with a nearly endless selection of meats, seafoods, and vegetables, both to suit diners’ flavor profiles and meet this moment."

"Lined with lockers, this Chicago- and Detroit-themed dive perched above Shaw is a go-to for fans of the Cubs, Tigers, and Michigan sports teams. There are Detroit-style pizzas, curly fries, and ballpark dogs to go with cheap brews and pours of Jeppson’s Malört. Order takeout online or reserve a two-hour seat."

"This dive-y Shaw favorite identifies as a hangout for Chicago and Detroit expats, but everyone can appreciate the casual, enclosed roof deck with cheap beers, $2 Ballpark hot dogs, Detroit-style pies, and wings."

"Inside Downtown DC’s Eaton Workshop visitors will find a 200-plus room hotel that houses a progressive-minded co-working space and four unique food and drink concepts. Make your way toward the back of the hotel, peer behind a wall of books and you’ll happen upon Allegory, a sleek, shadowy cocktail bar with an extensive drink list. Settle down on a leather couch, admire the mural that pays homage to Ruby Bridges with a whimsical Alice in Wonderland theme and imbibe literary-themed concoctions."

"You have to know what you're looking for to find Allegory, which is tucked behind a nondescript black door in the lobby library of Eaton D.C., downtown's hippest new hotel. Once you've made it into the intimate, moody space, grab a stool at the wooden semi-circular bar or take a seat at one of the sexy leather couches. Black pendant lights barely illuminate the room, but you can still see the incredibly detailed murals of mythical creatures by artist Erik Thor-Sandberg."
