Isshin Asian Bistro ( Originally Wok & Roll -18th st )

This was the old Wok n Roll! One of my all time favorites. Still excellent food. Delicious flavors, generous portions and reasonable prices. Walking around is great from the Omni.

Great sushi. Lovely owners. It’s a bit bustling on the inside, so if you’re looking for a “relaxing” inside dining experience, I wouldn’t put Isshin in that bucket. The sushi is consistent and the rice on the outside is very thin (my favorite). The Isshin roll is a classic non-complex roll with salmon/tuna that I find filling (they do 6 piece rolls rather than 8, but the fish amount makes up for that). Lunch specials are good - 2 rolls and miso soup for ~$15.

very nice sushi spot. good lunch special for 13.95 where you get 2 rolls and a decently sized miso soup. i loved the spicy tuna roll. good amount of spice and nice and crunchy. i didn’t like the philadelphia roll as much. good fisj but a little too much cream cheese. the service is great! the waitress was so sweet and attentive. nice interior and the bathroom has nice renovations. a bit small so it can get a little cold when people are in and out. good spot! will definitely be coming back again

Not only is every dish delicious, but the service at Isshin is so warm, so welcome and so lovely. Secret menu item is the handmade dumplings (they have two types so ask for these specifically). Their miso soup is very rich but not overly salty, which can be difficult to find, yet it is here daily and for a good price. I’m particularly in love with their udon noddles, which I get vegetarian with tofu, and the veggies are perfectly crisp. Their sushi rolls are fresh and I never get the seaweed burps. They know us when we walk in and make my wife and I feel like family. Become a regular, it’s worth it.

Legit the best Thai Tea I’ve ever had. The service and atmosphere were amazing, the staff was incredibly attentive, and the food was so good. Definitely recommend for a good spot to eat in dc especially since it’s in such a cute town.

Great sushi place in Adams Morgan. Tasty food and friendly service. Glad to have them back. Same owner from Wok N Roll. Their sashimi is fresh and the avocado salad I ordered was yummy. They are also doing the promotion for delivery now. I can’t wait to order again.

I ordered take-out via Grubhub, the sushi was very fresh & tasted great. Presentation was all there however, the Volcano appetizer was tiny. For $13.00 and it being that small, if I had dined in the restaurant and it came out like that I would have sent it back. I won’t be ordering that again!

This place is walking distance from my work. I've ordered from this place a couple times and also dined in. I like coming here because I can have a nice peaceful lunch break. I have say the best dish I ordered was the tofu dish for lunch, it was reasonable priced. However, the non veg dishes started tasting horrible. I got super sick today after ordering lunch from them. I ordered a chicken dish once and it was so bad I got sick afterwards. I still went back and got another dish and it was ok and gave them more chances. I tried the shrimp dish with veggie and my stomach was horrible the rest of the day at work. I guess at this point my stomach doesn't like this food. Nice staff but I won't be coming here anymore as I'll won't be working in Adams Morgan anymore.

I don't want to write this as a slight but more of a recommendation. The food is solid. Across the board, nothing was spectacular and different but nothing was bad. Solid. They are open late and I ordered carry out. If you want a solid meal, sushi, fried rice etc... they will get it done. A little slow to the prep but they had a line of DoorDash drivers so I'll give them grace. I didn't see anyone eating inside. And like I said I didn't eat inside either. I'm still giving it 5 stars because I don't think they did anything to deserve criticism for improvement.

Hands down my favorite place to get takeout sushi in DC! They are incredible. They have a Spicy Roll Combo that is my go to. It's 3 full sized rolls (Spicy Tuna, Salmon, and California) for $20. It's so much food and the perfect Spicy Rolls. I often re-order their Rock Shrimp Tempura, it's a lot of shrimp and tossed and a really incredible sweet/spicy sauce. I also love their Seaweed Salad (such a good portion size) and their Fried Rice. Really you can go wrong with anything, they never disappoint!

I love the tuna lovers roll, it's so good! The nigiri here is also really good for the price point. There's not much seating, so this restaurant is best for takeout. The employees are always really nice when I go pick up my order. I definitely recommend this place!

Food was REALLY GOOD but they shut down the eat in service an hour earlier than the closing time.

Decided to get delivery yesterday from a new sushi place and ended up finding my new favorite place!! I got the spicy roll combo that comes with 3 rolls and you choose between miso soup or salad. Also got the seaweed salad for an appetizer. The 3 rolls were generously filled with the filling and the miso soup came still warm, I didn't even have to heat it up! Everything was a reasonable price and I will definitely be ordering from here again!

I've been ordering here for years, it was my favorite sushi place in the city, but they stopped delivering to my address just over the river. My guess is they changed their delivery policy around June of this year, but it's unfortunate because I was a regular customer (pretty sure I spent $1k plus, ordering about twice a month over the last few years), and I'm disappointed to lose the joy of ordering there. Great food I just wish they'd rethink their delivery radius and go back to their delivery policy from earlier this year that included Alexandria and towns just neighboring to DC.

Ordered sushi lunch combos for delivery. Excellent value and consistent food over the last 2 years. I'll continue to order delivery from here and hopefully get to pop in to sit down and enjoy a meal there!

Consistently solid and affordable spot for Chinese takeout! Isshin has become my go-to lunch when I work for home. The lunch special is a great deal - I usually get chicken and broccoli, which comes with fried rice and an egg roll ($12). Also the staff are such lovely people!!

Ordered twice on doordash in the last few weeks and really enjoyed my food! The sushi combos are a great deal and are very filling. LOVE the rock shrimp with pineapple. Haven't been to the location but will be ordering again!

Isshin Asian Bistro is a good spot for a weekday lunch. If you're looking for something quick, affordable, and tasty then Isshin's range of Asian options will do the trick. I had the basil chicken lunch combo, which comes with the entree, rice, and a spring roll. I also ordered the hot and sour soup and was not disappointed by any of the offerings. If you come around when they open, all the food is fresh and hot. I did takeout on a Wednesday and was impressed by the decent portion sizes and quality of the food. This isn't going to be the best Thai (or Chinese, or Japanese) food you ever eat but it does the trick. The basil chicken had plenty of vegetables including onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, and came with a sizable portion of rice as well. The egg roll was your standard vegetarian egg roll with a nice crunchy coating and a forgettable but decent cabbage filling. The soup here is always excellent and is very filling as well.

I found a bug shell laying on top of my spicy tuna roll. So gross. This is my go-to place and I cannot feel more betrayed

I came here for lunch with some colleagues and they happily accommodated our party of 5 though the inside was set up more for take out only. I'd say the whole space could probably only seat about 15 people. I ordered the Las Vegas Roll which was one of the Chef's specials, not a lunch special. It came with cooked salmon and white fish (red snapper) and some cream cheese. It was a good size! However I also wanted raw fish so I tried someone's spicy salmon from the lunch special and it was pretty good too. The proportion of fish to rice is very good, not too much rice! I was very hungry so I also got a lunch plate of sesame chicken and white rice. I was surprised it came with an egg roll which was perfect as I was really hungry. I ordered a Thai iced tea as well. I left very happily full. If your goal is a good value for a meal, look no where else. This might not be my first choice for either Chinese food or sushi, but they have both and at a good price! So if you're looking for both, this place is a win. I've liked restaurants that were in this unit years ago but it kept changing so I'm hoping Isshin is here to stay.

This place was so good! The service was great, staff were super attentive and friendly. This is such a cute restaurant! Highly recommend the mango tango roll.

Ever since moving I've been trying to find a good Chinese takeout place. Saw this when ordering delivery so decided to give it a try. I got the shredded chicken in garlic sauce and chicken lo mein. Delivery was easy and quick. The shredded chicken in garlic sauce was delicious! It does come with a side of white rice which wasn't mentioned when I was ordering online. It's not on the spicy side but still had a lot of flavor. The lo mein was ok, it seemed a little too salty and had a slightly weird aftertaste. Overall it's a good place to grab a quick dinner, or if you're craving Chinese.

Affordable and delicious! Great service too and very good rolls and miso soup! I was pleased with this meal enough to order two nights consecutive.

I got takeout here on a random weekday and it was pretty good. They have a great lunch special, where you get an entrée, rice, and an egg roll for about $10. So for the cost, it was great. I got the General Tso's chicken with fried rice. The chicken was flavorful and well cooked, and the fried rice was pretty good too. It also had some steamed broccoli in it, which was a nice touch and made me feel a bit better about eating fried food for lunch. I didn't love the egg roll, but that could just be personal preference. The food maybe wasn't anything to write home about, but for the cost it can't be beat.

I got delivery for lunch late on a Friday afternoon while working from home, after realizing I hadn't had anything but coffee all day. Knowing I wanted noodles and also having a hankering for egg drop soup to soothe my allergy-irritated throat, I found Isshin Asian Bistro on Yelp, open and predicted to deliver pretty quickly. Perfect! I got the egg drop soup I was craving and ended up ordering Chicken Pad Thai noodles -- and some egg rolls to meet the delivery minimum. The food arrived hot and fast, and was ok! Honestly it really hit the spot given the circumstances. I mean I wouldn't say it was the most "authentic" Pad Thai or egg drop soup I've ever had- whatever that means in this context (but that seems to be a criterion that every Yelp reviewer has to mention so there you go!) The Pad Thai had a lot of sauce compared to most I've had - but I was starving and like saucy food (and people) in general, so it was pretty satisfying. And c'mon -- I'd just ordered a bizarre combination of Chinese and Thai food for quick delivery from what looks like primarily a sushi restaurant, so I'd call anything other than disappointing a success.

Got food poisoning, won't be ordering from here again. Sushi was tasteless and warm... both my partner and I were impacted

Delightful. I ordered the Sushi and Sashimi from the Japanese Lunch Menu and was pleasantly surprised. The sashimi was quality cuts served at the perfect temperature. I will certainly be returning.

This is my favorite affordable sushi in DC. They use high quality ingredients for their sushi and it's priced more reasonably than some (also delicious) fancier sushi restaurants nearby. I go often when I'm looking for takeout for a weekend night in. Isshin has tables set up inside and outside, but I recommend getting takeout and going to a nearby park or eating at home. My go-tos: - Crunch Salmon Avocado roll ~$8 - Shaggy Dog roll ~$14 - Eel and avocado roll ~$7

This is my go-to DoorDash place in DC! The delivery is always fast. I love how you can specify white meat chicken, so orange chicken with white meat is my go-to. The portion is generous and I've never been disappointed! I only went here once in person and sat outside so I can't really speak to the ambiance. But if you're looking for a good takeout place, definitely recommend!

Ordered through Uber Eats , everything came exactly as ordered, they put attention to all the notes I've included. Everything was so good, and they have nice enough vegan options, which made me sooo happy :) Both my vegan self and my non vegan boyfriend really enjoyed the overall experience. Thumbs up big time .

I love Isshin (even back when it was Wok & Roll) and have been ordering from it for years. They always deliver quickly (I was in Logan and now U Street) and it's always fresh and well made. I have ordered both sushi and chinese food and definitely prefer it for sushi and think there are better chinese spots in the city but it's a go-to for sure.

So far so good. I've ordered here a couple times, through Uber eats and going to the restaurant to order to go. Through Uber eats, packaging is top notch. The food look's exactly like it does in the picture. It's great quality and great price for the quality. Will continue to order from here. They have an extensive menu and I have yet to be disappointed in my choices.

The menu is HUGE (Japanese, Chinese, and Thai offerings), the staff are extra friendly, and the food is always good. Vegetarians: try the Inari avocado (sushi) rolls, the tempura sweet potato rolls, and General Tso's tofu!

I am so fortunate to live nearby. isshin is truly amazing. I was a fan of their before, when they were a wok and Roll, but now they have taken their game to another level. I started by just getting their Thai basil chicken for lunch. Then Kung pao, and finally the general Tsos. The latter is incredible, they use white meat which I prefer, and it's so perfectly breaded and tender. Usually Chinese take out chicken gets hard and stringy, but not their chicken. You can't go wrong getting their lunch specials especially if you live in the area. Their dumplings and egg rolls are also amazing.

Isshin in da kitchen! We love this place... Wonderful customer service and great food. The sushi is consistently excellent (maki--yellowtail jalapeno, spicy tuna, great california) and they definitely follow instructions specified in the orders. My husband loves their fried chicken wings and I enjoy their thai basil tofu. Very fresh ingredients and generous portions, too.

My go to place for sushi takeout in DC. Definitely the best sushi option in Adams Morgan.

Consistently delicious meals that do not disappoint! Excellent menu options to meet everyone's requests.

Food was awesome, mostly takeout place with a very loyal local following but we ate inside and the staff was so nice. Really great Chinese food!! I will be back again!!

I would have ordered the Philly roll, but was told it only comes with salmon and cream cheese (I'm used to it also including avocado). So I got the salmon avocado roll instead. It did not disappoint. I wouldn't recommend the fried crab wontons if you're getting takeout. By the time I got home (~20 min walk), they were not as fresh. Could be great for dine in though!

We're from out of town. I'm happy we came across this restaurant! While you can dine in, it's mainly to-go orders. We had the miso soup, 2 sushi rolls, with shrimp Pad Thai and beef fried rice. By far the most authentic tasting Asian food I've had in a long time. I'm very impressed and I'm sure you will be too

Delicious sushi and great service! A friend recommended Isshin to me and I took a group of 15 there this evening. Enjoyed several rolls (the Dragon Roll and Avocado Spicy Salmon were especially delightful!) The prices were reasonable for this area of D.C. and will definitely be a new go-to spot! The employees are very helpful and kind and patient! I didn't realize when I made the reservation that a group of 15 takes up the entire dining room. The waitress working with us was efficient, kind and attentive given that we were dining at rush hour and basically reserving the entire restaurant.

One of the best Asian restaurants in northwest DC! Isshin has a great selection with high-quality flavor and ingredients.

The Las Vegas Roll was basically fried cream cheese, with not much else to the roll. The Market Roll was ok, but not something I would ever order again. I love sushi, and enjoy looking for new places to order from, but won't be ordering from here again. I basically took a few bites & through away the rest.

Isshin has a great variety of options with Chinese, Thai and Japanese. I personally think they have the best PAD THAI in town. And I apprciate that myhusband can get sushi in the same place.

Their spicy tuna roll is so good! I keep going back for more. Ordering is easy, pick-up is quick. Not a big fan of the noodles as it's a bit bland for my taste. But eager to try more rolls.

Hmm Isshin Isshin Isshin ...I wanted to like you and give you more stars. I ordered the lunxh special from you twice- beef and broccoli and Szechuan beef. The food was plentiful and piping hot. All the main ingredients were as expected and tasted fresh but alas, the taste was totally lacking. Even the addition of soy sauce to the entrees was to no avail. It's as if the dishes, sullen at being underseasoned the first go around, declined any help. What to do? Here's a suggestion- take the profit made off 2 or 3 lunch specials, go to Costco, get large bottles of spices - ginger, garlic, pepper etc and use liberally. Thank me later because I really want to like you.

So, I seldom write reviews, but felt a need to for this business. First, I've been living in DC for over 20 years, so I have tried a lot of different restaurants. The sushi and rolls at this place is GREAT! Super fresh, very little fishy smell. Their specialty carpaccio are even better. The price is very reasonable and the staff are pretty friendly. If you have to order rolls or sushi in NW DC. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Ordered delivery and it might have been the prettiest presentation I've ever seen in a delivery box. The rolls were delicious and the nigiri fish cuts were top notch

This a great location, the food was fresh and tasted great. We were in the mood for some asian cuisine and this place hit the spot. A friend was in town visiting so we went for a few sushi rolls and some lo mein. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone whose interested in a great place to eat. And a nice place to sit outside an people watch to pass the time. The wait staff were very attentive and made sure we had everyone needed.

This place is perfect, the incredible range for foo. Most types of Asian cuisine are offred her and prepared well: it has been on it my go-to spots for awhile

Called for carry out during lunchtime, and ordered the sushi lunch special, veggie lo mein, and chefs special general tso's chicken w fried rice. Everything came out hot and delicious. I've been on a hunt for the best general tso's in the area and I finally found it!! All white meat, lightly breaded and coated in that delicious sauce. They also included two egg rolls and a salad in my meal! Everything came out to be under $30 with tip included, which is an awesome deal for the wonderful quality. I will be back soon!!! I only got a picture of the general tso's, everything else was eaten before I could take a pic

Our office orders from this restaurant everyday. Today we tried to place an order online, but it wouldn't allow us to do so, so we ended up calling. I was on the phone with a woman by the name of mae or nae. She took my order and gave me the total. I explained to her the amount is different from what shows up online. When I tried to go over the price of each item she became defensive and very rude. I told her all I wanted to do was confirm the amount I was being charged. She proceeded to yell at me and she continuously over-talked me. I asked for her name and the name of her manager. She would not give me the name of the manager and she told me the manager was not available then she hung up on me.

I really enjoy coming back here again and again for takeout. They have great variety and everything I have tried has been good. Definitely recommend.

Super-fresh sushi with generous portions of fish. The fried oysters are a hidden gem on the menu. Many of the Chinese dishes are very good. After moving to their new location, their tempura is not as good...a little chewy and soggy. On a Friday or Saturday night, orders are generally ready 15-30 minutes after the online estimate, so plan accordingly. There is little space inside for waiting. Recommend ordering through isshinasianbistro.com, as it's less expensive than ordering through GrubHub.

I understand frozen sushi. It has to be thing for places without access to fresh seafood. However, I cannot understand clearly frozen nigiri from a place right next to the atlantic ocean. Their octopus feels like biting into ice cream which only sociopaths do. The rest of the asian fare is decent at best, but i've never had a piece of sashimi or nigiri from this place that didn't feel freshly thawed out.

Recently ordered delivery from Isshin for a Mother's Day lunch. The GrubHub driver left off half the order and we wound up shorted a bunch of our food. Lunch was in jeopardy, but the good folks at Isshin promptly replaced the lost food at no expense. This was despite the fact it was not their error! Much appreciated, wonderful service. Will be ordering their fine sushi again. BTW the shashimi was perfectly fresh.

We fell in love with this restaurant when they were Rock n Roll and were SO HAPPY to discover that they reopened with a new name, Isshin Asian Bistro. First, the customer service is wonderful. They are kind, happy to have your business, hard working and have great quality control. THE FOOD IS OUTSTANDING. We are usually cautious of asian restaurants that have Chinese, Japanese and Thai foods,(how can you specialize in all of them?) but Isshin Asian Bistro pulls it off with flying colors! Their tofu/bean curd is light and fluffy, cooked to perfection. There veggies and noodles are never overcooked. Soup broths are all AMAZING and so are the homemade egg noodles. White meat chicken is legit and all their dishes have just the right amount of sauce...not too greasy...not overloaded with spice, but just the right amount of heat. We stick to bean curd, veggies, gyoza, noodles and soups, and we've never had a bad dish from them. Their super yummy food and friendly staff that takes pride in their customer service keeps us coming back for more delivery! I should have posted this three orders ago but right now I'm waiting for them to deliver and figured its time I finally post in praise of their awesomeness!
