Akeno Sushi Bar and Thai Alexandria

The 11 Best Sushi Restaurants In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Akeno Sushi Bar and Thai is the kind of place you take your friends to on a Friday night, where everyone can grab a round of drinks from the restaurant’s tiki bar-esque cocktail menu while contemplating the chances of a federal shutdown. But it’s not until you try the sushi that you’ll really start paying attention to this Capitol Hill spot. The restaurant's sushi specials—like the Akeno roll, made with a decadent and crispy soft-shell crab tempura—can make any conversation, even the ones about government antics, appealing." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
