We’ve been regulars at this no frills sushi place for over a decade and continue to think it’s one of the best places for fresh fish in DC. They aren’t competing with the newer and higher end spots in DC which is part of the charm. But execution and quality of fish is top notch. Service and politeness is always spot on too. The dine-in options appears to be much more limited compared to pre-pandemic. If you’re living on or visiting the Hill, this neighborhood spot should be on your short list.

Simple, delicious, and expertly prepared sushi. I’m very particular about where I get sashimi, and this place was great. But recently portion sizes are half what they used to be at same price. Feel cheated as a long time customer. Too expensive now.

One of the better sushi spots in DC near Capitol Hill. This place is tiny! I definitely don’t recommend this place if you are planning to visit this place with a big group. They have several tables and you can also sit at the bar. I ordered sushi and sashimi gold platters. The place was packed and took a while to get both orders. The quality of sashimi and sushi were pretty good. I wouldn’t say this place is better than sushi taro or nakazawa, but it is still good for the price even though their price went up dramatically since my last visit. I was frustrated that they didn’t serve the sushi right away and waited until another sashimi platter to be made. They should’ve just served it right away. Other than that I had a very pleasant experience and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout the dinner service.

Great hidden sushi spot with chef’s choice and regular offerings. Chefs’ knifework is fantastic and the dishes reflect their skills fully.

Wow! Best sushi I’ve had in the US and at least as good as most of the places I went to when I lived in Japan. Service was great. Sushi was super fresh. All of the fish was amazing. Best uni I’ve had since I was last in Japan. Best anago I e ever had. I’ve been to all of the top sushi places in DC and this one, by far, is the top one. I highly recommend Sushi Capitol. I cannot wait to visit Sushi Capitol again!

I have had many wonderful in-restaurant experiences pre-pandemic, and I was thrilled to see they survived this long. However today I ordered takeout from Sushi Capitol for the first time – ordered 3 servings of omakase, miso soups, and one seaweed salad and had it delivered via Uber eats. Sadly, they fail to tell you when ordering delivery that the omakase platter has dramatically changed. Instead of what was previously a 3-piece appetizer + ~20 pieces of top notch nigiri, I received an 8-piece roll of ground tuna (something I would never order if given the choice), 9 pieces of nigiri, egg and fish eggs. The nigiri is still good, and good quality, but I paid exactly the same price $50 ea for these platters, plus a delivery premium to receive a far inferior product both in size and quality.

We had the pleasure of dining in for lunch over the weekend. Some of the best sushi I’ve had.

I order take out from here at least once a month (probably more during these quarantine times). I typically get the Sushi Gold (and a spicy yellowtail roll) and I’ve never been disappointed. The fish is always super fresh and the flavors are incredible. The staff is super kind – I love the cute messages on the take out bags!
