28 Best Japanese Restaurants near Forestville

“I watched a co-worker having what I referred to as "a food fantasy". They recommended this particular location for its service and food. My waze directed me to the location which is adjacent to the JCPENNEY parking lot in a strip with 2 other businesses.I arrived midday and was welcomed by a pleasant woman near the door. Within 5-10 minutes my meal was prepared which was a combo of teriyaki chicken and shrimp with veggies, noodles, green onions, sesame seeds and extra sauce.The staff was very pleasant and appeared to work well together as a team. The portions were generous and I would definitely eat there again. After I got home I too had "a food fantasy". My vegetables were perfectly cooked, not hard or overcooked. The meats were tender, fresh and flavorable.I have since eaten at two other locations and have come back to this one for a new combo. This time I added steak and the next time I will add salmon which came highly recommended by many people.I would definitely recommend this location, the service and the food options.Parking: In front of the business are several parking spaces. The overflow lot of JCPENNEY is available as well.“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

“Fantastic ambiance, excellent service and delicious food!“

“Outstanding service and excellent food! Highly recommended“

“Bar tenders were delightful, the view of the Capitol at night was spectacular and the food was so good I went back the following night to eat the same thing again! Chef stopped at the tables to check on his guests and thank them for coming!“

“Je me suis abrité dans ce restaurant en raison de la pluie. J'étais le seul client à mon arrivée mais j'ai été très surpris par la sympathie des propriétaires et par le goût de la nourriture. Je me suis régalé avec le bibimbap. Cependant je trouve que le prix est un peu élevé mais ça doit expliqué par la proximité avec tous les monuments alentours.“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“Yummy food with a great atmosphere! I had the Salman Gohan, which is a bowl with rice with salmon, corn, and other great flavors on top. The ratio was good to mix everything together, with a bit of rice left over at the end. It tasted very good, but it cost $18. The portion was sufficient for a meal, but I would have liked a bit more salmon for the price. The quality is good, but for $18 I prolly would have preferred all you can eat dinner at the dining hall. The service was really good and any questions I asked were promptly and politely answered. I got my food 5 minutes after the time I was told by the automated text message, and this wasn’t good because the person I was with had to catch their bus. The atmosphere is great, with a wood and plant theme. The kitchen is visible and connect to a tabletop with barstools. There is a cool large mural on one wall. I will definitely be back here to try some ramen and onigiri, but for now I give Onikama Ramen Bar 4 stars!“

“Excellent ??????I enjoyed the Chicken ? and ? Shrimp ?I customized my order with vegetables and fried rice ?. I choose to top my order with Teriyaki sauce, scallions and sesame seeds.Very nice portions. Good value for the money.Parking: There is plenty of free parking ?️ in the rear. The parking in the front is limited because of all the stores. This restaurant is located on the corner.“

“Hands-down best ramen I have ever had.“

“Nothing less than phenomenal. Everything was hot, everything was fresh, and everything tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back whenever in the area. Fairly priced as well...can't beat that.“

“Hands down best sushi I’ve ever had! Great service, fresh fish and ingredients as well as a TON of flavor.“

“I got the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was rich. The slices of pork were fresh, juicy, tender, slightly sweet, and abundant. There were at least 6 slices in that bowl. The assortment of vegetables and narutomaki added unique, delicious tastes and textures to the dish. Their food presentation is perfect. You'd have to see it to believe it. The ramen actually looks like it's straight out of those food commercials and restaurant food posters. All in all, it's a great place to eat.“

“We are from NYC. Had lunch with my family here and left my backpack in the restaurant. The guy in the front found my bag and hold my bag till I contacted him 2 hours later. People make good food and look out for community really touched my heart. Good people are always blessed?? thank you Sakura Express!“

“My family loves Sushi Hachi. Most of our celebrations are here.“

“CAN I SAY THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST SUSHI I'VE HAD IN ALL OF DC!! The flavors in their Seaweed Cucumber Crab salad, and Rainbow and Unagi specialty rolls were music to my tastebuds, so much that we ordered a third one!! My dirty martini and my sister's plum wine added great spirit to our evening and our server was attentive and flowed with our jokes. They also followed great COVID protocol. You must pay them a visit TODAY!!“

“Carry out location. Good food (Chicken Teriyaki), Friendly staff.Parking: This is a store front location in a small portion of a shopping center. Parking is available, but on busy days, you may have to walk from the large parking areaWheelchair accessibility: Handicap spaces are provided near this location“

“Food is excellent, my parents who are picky eaters LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant! Food is priced well, especially for the amount of food you receive. You can always count on this place to deliver fresh food for a good price, and the sushi is so good and fresh! Also, clean inside and friendly cashiers! Overall this place is a gem!“

“Small, with limited menu, but terrific service and consistently fresh and good food.“

“The dish that I ordered was great!!!“

“I've come to La Fantome multiple times for group lunches, thought I'd try out this kitchen since a lot people from my group order here. I do like the ability to order from your phone, it allows you time to look over the menu & not feel rushed. Customer service was good, only interacted with a server when they delivered my food. Had the California Roll which was good for the price. Will order from here again.“

“This place is my go to lunch/sushi place. Such fresh fish and amazing flavors. I always go right when they open to get the freshest pick. I will gatekeep this place and what my order is at all costs but had to leave a review. The staff are so kind and will help you with anything you need. If they don’t have something I always ask if they have it and they make it to order for me!“

“This is a great little place. We were looking for a quick place to get sushi without spending a fortune. Ordered the fried cream cheese wontons (not fantastic but tasty), and two sushi burritos (raging bull and the crouching tiger). Both were excellent and filling. Definitely recommend this place. It is a small place in a strip mall setting.“

“Really good, fresh sushi. Every time I go. Actually this is my go to place, for sushi, when I don't want to drive too far. I frequent the Tropical Thunder, Dynamite, Maryland and Volcano Rolls. I also like the bento boxes, when I want a variety of food. My husband loves the teriyaki plates. The Yum Yum sauce is super spicy! Sweet, but spicy.“

“The prices are decent and I enjoyed my Chicken Teriyaki very much. They have great portions as well, which gave me the chance to get two meals in one. Dinner on Monday, lunch on Tuesday! The service was done the "quickway" they take orders with precision and double check everything before sending it to the kitchen. The setup is decent, booth like seating and there's a station to collect your food and grab condiments or a drink. There's ample parking around, which makes the dining in experience even better.“

“Hubby had been bemoaning lack of good fast casual hibachi near us, the other options he'd tried being less than desirable. So when I saw Kobe had such good reviews, we had to give it a try. All in all I was quite happy with our meals. I had a beef + noodle bento (noodles are 50c extra but absolutely worth it), he had a chicken bento. It was all good, but the chicken was better than the beef, mainly because the beef was just slightly overdone. They'd gotten a nice char on it but went too far as it was no longer juicy on the inside. The chicken on the other hand had a nice outer char but was still nice and juicy. Both were well marinated, as were the noodles that came with my bento (delicious!). The bento also came with a few pieces of california roll (which were just fine), two fried dumplings (which were also fine) and two crab rangoons (which were definitely heavier on the cream-cheese and scallion than crab, I'm not sure whether any crabs were actually harmed in the making of these...but they tasted good so that's all I care about).The meal size was just a little bigger than I needed to be full. Probably not a split-in-two size, but a good single meal size, and besides the fried sides wouldn't keep well. The prices are reasonable, each bento was in the 10-11 dollar range plus the upcharges. I had read that yum yum sauce was an upcharge, but the lady brought us two to our table. I'd definitely order them, they are quite tasty, kind of like a fruity mayo flavor. They had canned sodas so we split one. IIRC there were about half a dozen tables if you want to eat in. I'm thinking next time I might order a bowl instead of a bento and take part of it home. I think I read the bowls come with veggies in addition to the meat and rice/noodles. I will definitely get the noodles though as they are super yum.“

“Amazing place food really good“

“I rarely write reviews but I have to give this place credit. They have really good food. I'm vegetarian so I usually get the Tofu dishes. There are no weird aftertaste or smells like the food from some of the other carry outs in the area. The vegetables are fresh and actually taste like vegetables. Lol. The cashier is isn't rude. I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.“
