Lovely experience at Pink Tiger. The atmosphere is eclectic and interesting. The service was attentive. The ginger carrot Margaritas were fantastic. Also highly recommended the curry crab soup.

As always, the food was delicious the Service wonderful. I always highly recommend Sushiko. Last night we tried their crispy beef gyoza which was a special. It was absolutely delicious and you should grab it while it’s there.

Every time I go to Sushi By Bou at the Citizen M in DC it gets better. Chef Alex is always pushing the boundaries on Omakase and his flavor profiles and choices have reached a new level. Very fresh fish with perfect accompaniments and it's a can't miss experience for any sushi lover. And the entire staff is so friendly, warm, and welcoming. Highly highly recommended!

Everything was delicious. The place was really cute and laidback, management was great when I had to change my reservation, and my server was knowledgeable and friendly. Am definitely returning again and again to try more food options and to have a simple solo bar meal of Fi Lao O Fish!

I stumbled upon this restaurant after shopping at Wegman’s and was intrigued because it brought back fond memories of a solo trip I took to Japan a couple of years ago. So, I knew I had a lunch meeting with an old friend and scheduled a reservation. While there in my haste and attentive to all the good news she was sharing, I failed to write a review during this visit. But another opportunity today came around today and made it my point to not miss the opportunity again. We were greeted again by “Helen” who was one of the nicest people you would want to meet. I would not expect less from the culture. We sat inside at a window facing outside. It was an old friend from childhood (6 years old) celebrating her birthday because she too was intrigued by the food since she had never eaten any. We started off as a starter with the Shinwa Chicken Wings; perfectly cooked, seasoned, and glazed to perfection. Then she ordered the Shinwa Stir Fry Udon Delight and I ordered the Sesame Chicken Lunch Bento. We were so full after eating because everything was absolutely delicious. I told her that she had to get a dessert because it was her birthday and that I could assist her in eating it. I happened to mention to Helen that it was her birthday, and she came out with a surprise of the following: Chocolate Souffle, Matcha Ice Cream, and Mochi with a lit candle on it. We both looked at each other and dug in; it was the right thing to do, don’t judge. For two people who said they were filled when Helen came to get the dessert plates, they were clean. So, if you are in the area, as I say make your way Shinwa Izakaya. The atmosphere is beautiful and so calming along with wonderful service.

Cute spot with a lot of heart. A family feel and joyful staff, however the selection is small and our waiter disuaded us from getting a couple of dishes which we thought was interesting. Lots of people were coming in for take out. My friend and I shared a Pho and a Tumeric rice. There was little or no tumeric in the rice , but it was tasty. Will we go back? Probably not mostly because there are other places to explore, but I do think it's worth a visit and a taste
