The sushi was average. The service was okay for a friday night. It was quite noisy and I recommend getting there before 7:30pm on weekends. The most annoying part were the fruit flies that were around our table. We weren't near the kitchen either. more

A lot of choices, great selection and service is ok. Food is very tasty and reasonably priced. We sat on the 2nd floor and basement, both were ok for our needs. Its not a 5 star restaurant, so I am not sure what the negative reviews are about with regards to noise, get over it. more

Not for your parents. The main seating area of the restaurant looks like a children's romper room . . . set up in an underground garage. It is loud around dinner time, as other reviewers have noted. No, make that LOUD. And by that I mean REALLY LOUD. Itty-bitty stools and itty-bitty tables and not much else to the decor.... more

really enjoyed our dinner at cafe asia. all white walls and furniture. looks like a hip, trendy, local crowd. food was great. glad we went. We went with my 9 year old son and he is a picky eater. He had the chicken wonton soup and loved it.. It has a lot of different Asian foods. more

Same dishes as their sister establishment in Arlington. But the space in DC is really loud. Crowd a little better. more

lots of choices for Asian food; inexpensive appetizers, good suishi. It's a little loud around Happy Hour ( I suggest sitting on the 2nd floor) Overall, good food, lots of choices, & good price. more

This is a decent place, serving the usual Americanized version of Asian food. I hang out here mainly for the happy hour. There's always ample seating for large groups. They have drink and sushi specials during happy hour but some of the martini specials are either hit or miss. Avoid the dirty martini at all cost. They have no clue... more
