Oasis The Listening Bar

Great neo-japanese restaurant in Clarendon. Sushi/sashimi is the main appeal and is fresh and tasty. The waiter detailed our deluxe sashimi with the Japanese names for the fish followed by the english names. We had house hot sake but the cocktail menu looked really interesting. We had miso soup for appetizer but looking forward to trying others next time. Decor is really interesting. Large bar area in front. $60+ pp without cocktails but worth it.

Live atmosphere with stylish décor, great energy, and music that keeps the vibe alive all night. The sushi was aowsom and beautifully prepared! Service—while not overly formal—was friendly and added to the overall experience. A perfect spot for a fun night out. Highly recommended!

Cool spot that opened in Clarendon! We didn't have a reservation but went early to put our name down, which got us a ressy at 9pm which we didn't mind. That being said, they never mentioned the table would be outside in the back. We asked them to move us inside when we realized this. One, it was chilly and two, it's a listening bar we wanted to be inside to listen to the music. They were able to accommodate us and we sat in the bar area which was way better! We got a bunch of sushi and all of them were delicious! Really good quality sushi and the flavors were amazing! Definitely want to go back and try some other rolls. Something I also noted, it's a listening bar but no one was playing vinyl. Just music from the aux. maybe just an off night? Will definitely come again.

We decided to try a new sushi place in our area, Clarendon Arlington, and hands down, The Oasis has the best sushi I’ve ever had. The food was excellent—from the appetizers and sashimi deluxe to the sushi rolls and desserts. The place was very cozy, with jazzy music and a thoughtfully designed interior. We paid $250, including the tip, for two

We went for their soft opening and it was a beautiful restaurant! Currently they don’t have alcoholic options yet but the menu had sushi rolls, skewers, entrees, and appetizers. The special roll Pacific roll was delicious and everything tasted very fresh. They gave a 20% discount for their soft opening which was a great touch. Service was good too! Excited to return once they fully open :)

To start off I will talk about the atmosphere which was incredible, the music and vibes and the decorations was absolutely great which I enjoyed the most. When it comes to the food we tried the sushi roll I think I took the dragon roll and it was good but when it comes to the prices I can say it’s a little expensive to this quality. So if you want to enjoy the vibe in new place you should go .

Great date night location or drinks for after work. High end sushi restaurant with classy atmosphere. Highly recommended and dare I say my all time favorite restaurant in the DC area. Service was timely, mocktails and whisky selection on point. We will be back and can’t wait to go on doubles dates with friends.

One of the best sushi experience in the DC metro area — hands down. Oasis isn’t just a sushi restaurant, it’s a full sensory experience. The fish is incredibly fresh — from buttery salmon to fresh blue fin tune, every dish is thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. The specials, Poke Bowl and Salmon Truffle were, and the rolls were packed with flavor and texture. What sets Oasis apart is the vibe — a classy, intimate listening bar atmosphere with smooth jazz playing in the background, making it perfect for a relaxed yet elevated night out. The staff is warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about the food and service. Also, loved the subtle touches — beautifully plated cocktails, stylish decor (check out the surfboards and vintage collectibles), and a menu that balances creativity with authenticity.
