Onkei

Sashimi sushi deluxe is beautifully presented with a nice variety. Chicken katzu bento box is crispy and nice (lots of chicken katsu!). Edamame and simple and good (and more reasonably priced than the same dish at other restaurants). Ordered for self pick up via UberEasts; food was ready quickly and well packaged. It's in that "mall" on GW campus. Convenient location of course.Simple setting but clean: it's inside a "mall" so some tables scattered, with a counter. Not a full on restaurant but I appreciate the Japanese option in the neighborhood of Foggy Bottom.

This was my first time at Western Market, and I was in the mood for ramen and sushi, so decided to check this place out. I ordered the Spicy Miso bowl and the spicy tuna crunch roll. The food items were packaged very well - although I ate my food there, it would have traveled nicely as well. As far as the food goes, I think the amount of sushi (8 pieces) received for the price is a decent value. The menu doesn't list what ingredients come with the ramen, and I had a hard time getting that info from the woman at the register. You have the option to get the spicy miso with either chicken or pork - I ordered mine with pork. Overall, both the sushi and ramen were kind of bland, but the spicy miso did have a nice kick to it. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's not a bad option. I would probably just stick to sushi next time.

Situated on GW's campus in Western market with other food stalls! Although Onkei is a bit on the pricier side, it is a great price for the quality of fish you get. I enjoyed the salmon donburi ($18), which comes with miso soup as well as pickled radish, ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce. The cuts of salmon were thick and fresh. Expect a wait, especially during lunch or dinner time! Plenty of seating at their bar and throughout the food court, but it might get full during their peak hours. The market's restrooms are clean and in the back.

I visited this place with a mission - to find chopsticks on short notice (which is surprisingly difficult). I felt a little bad about just picking a pair up and leaving so I took a look at the menu as well. Surprisingly, they had a decent selection. Ended up making an unplanned purchase, and the service was impressively quick and efficient. The sushi itself was pretty mediocre with average prices.Kudos to the cashier who wore a mask, ensuring a safe and pleasant experience.

Onkei is a little corner spot in western market. It has value prices for value sushi which is honestly okay for students that I am sure frequent the food hall. They also serve $15 bowls of ramen, and a variety of other Japanese dishes. This review is for the sushi and ramen. For the sushi the quality the fish was decent, but the rice seemed to be made with poor quality and little care. The rolls in our sushi and sashimi dish were all super uneven, some pieces with only bits of rice stuck to the seaweed, and super dry. For the sashimi rolls , it seemed like they pre rolled the balls of rice and left it out for a while. It was hard and would not stick together well. it was just all very sad looking, even for a $20 combo. The ramen is okay but the noodles and broth lacked flavor. It was missing the wonderful umani ramen usually has, and the bowls were dressed with ONE piece meat, ONE tiny piece of bamboo, a half hardboiled egg, a tbs of corn, and a few odd pieces of spinachEverything came served in plastic bowls with no option to serve on real plates and bowls, which makes me sad. To be fair, I believe that's every shop in Western Market, which could do better to encourage more sustainable options. While the prices are alright, everything at this place looks like it was thrown together haphazardly to check a box and make money. I also may just be a Japanese food snob at this point so I will know better to choose this Japanese place next time.

Super disappointed. I asked my partner to pick me up some delicious ramen and asked that Onkei separate the broth from the dry food (noodles and toppings) because my partner was traveling back from DC to MD and I didn't want soggy noodles. They refused. I got a bowl full of soggy noodles that absorbed most of the broth. There goes my rainy day, soup day! What ramen spot doesn't separate ingredients for take out? Just bad customer service.

Great service and food was delicious. Cashier let us switch out the entree in the lunch box for katsu (one chicken one pork). Food came out quickly and area was all very clean and quiet on a Sunday morning.

I wanted to much to like this place--so I gave it three tries. Sadly, it's just not very good.I did sashimi and maki twice. First time was fine, second time was a little fishy tasting. And for the price, "fishy" isn't cutting it. $30 without any rice or soup? Since I figured that fish wasn't Onkei's strong suit, I decided to give the other dishes a try. Chicken teriyaki: chopped to bits for some reason, dry, and bland; edamame: served cold... great; vegetable and shrimp tempura: vegetables were somehow mushy, it was all over-battered, and one of my shrimp wasn't deveined.I guess I'm giving two stars rather than one because the staff are kind and thorough. I just wish their pride in their work were spent on more deserving food.

I came and ordered the Tantanmen ramen noodles and this has to be the best tasting ramen I have ever had. This bowl was a medium type of spice, and it included the spinach, corn,.half egg, and dry seaweed on the side. For the protein, I selected the chicken. I could have chosen pork or tofu, but chicken has always been my go-to protein whenever its a dish that I am unfamiliar with. The guys working there were definitely on the ball, and they had my order prepared in no time. Even better than the ramen noodles, was the ambiance of the entire place. Its actually a pretty happening food court with outdoor seating, which I where I found a spot. The ramen noodles were wonderful, and I'm going to try to hit this place up again soon!

This place is located in the western market, and The Sashimi is exceptionally fresh. I like hamachi belly, and it is super flavorful. Their torched ahi tuna is also pretty good, and the chili oil gives it an extra kick! They also have a Super friendly and humorous staff; I had a great chat with Mr. Alfredo. Most workers here are super flexible, and they are likely to honor the reasonable requests if asked nicely. I tried their tempura sushi rolls the other day, and unlike most places, their shrimp tempura came fresh out of the fryer; it's super crispy.I felt lucky after realizing there was a long queue after getting my food.
