Sumo Hibachi & Sushi

➤ 2016 Eisenhower Ave Alexandria, VA 22314, United States

Sushi • Asian • Asiatic • Japanese

"This was my first Japanese food experience in the area, and Sumo Hibachi doesn't stand out on my list of memorable places to eat. The sushi wasn't bad, although I wish the menu mentioned it had wasabi inside. The spring rolls weren't bad either and went well with the sauce. However, the chicken with the hibachi plate was quite soft and chewy, which is less tasty than compared to a bit of char. The dressing on the salad wasn't very tasty either. The food itself warrants a star off. The other star deduction comes from the 18% gratuity at the end of the meal, regardless of party size. I've seen many restaurants add a mandatory gratuity for large groups (i.e. 6+ but it's quite rare that you're charged 18% on top of your meal regardless. That's never a good look for a restaurant. I will say the show they do in the back looked entertaining though, but I didn't get to experience it first hand."

"I have been a frequent customer of Kumo for the past 12 years. During the Pandemic they only did carry out and delivery. This month I have visited them four times. Here are my observations: Service: AWESOME!!! They have really gone from outstanding to AWESOME! Food: OUTSTANDING! I don't work close to Kumo anymore, so I tried multiple sushi places and they all suck. Kumo has the best Sushi in Northern Virginia. I have become an addict to the their lunch menu. Check it out on their site, better yet, go there for lunch. You can get 3 high quality Sushi Rolls, a Miso soup or a Salad for $18.00. Ambiance: Nice super clean environment. Great place for Lunch or to take a date in the evening. I strongly recommend this great hidden gem."

Galae Thai

Cafés • Asiatic • Seafood • Fast Food

"We always walk past Galae Thai and figured we’d stop by for lunch today and I’m glad we did! This restaurant usually doesn’t have a ton of people in it (due to its location, I’m sure) so there wasn’t a wait time and the food came out very fast. I ordered the Drunken Noodles and it was delicious! My hubby ordered the Galae Noodles and it was a bit similar but not as spicy and had a slight sweetness to it. Parking: Parking spots in this area are usually all taken throughout the day."

House Of Dynasty

➤ 7550 Telegraph Rd, 22315, Alexandria, United States

Asian • Chinese • Vegetarian friendly • Gluten Free Options

"I'm writing this in hopes that the restaurant management sees it and makes the necessary corrections. I've enjoyed at the House of Dynasty for years. One reason is that the service was always good and the food was well prepared and hot when it came to the table. We visited on a Sat. night and it wasn't very busy. We seated ourselves with an impersonal nod from a server and waited over 10 minutes before anyone came to greet us. When we finally did get some tea it was just warm,"
