Easily the best sushi not only in the Capitol Hill/Barracks Row area, but probably in all of DC. Torai has never once disappointed over 6+ years of dine in and take out.Seating is fairly limited (only a handful of seats), but service is fast and friendly. Pick up is easy through their website (pay upon pick up; usually takes about 20-40 min depending on the day, so plan ahead if ordering on a weekend). Song at the cashier is incredibly sweet and welcoming.The salmon set is my default order. To round out the meal, add an order of the salmon, yellowtail belly, or scallop sashimi; the mackerel nigiri; and/or the yummy yummy, crazy, dynamite, or sunset rolls. The fatty tuna and uni are also excellent, although seasonal. Getting Torai is never ever a bad idea.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Torai Sushi during Restaurant Week, and it was a delightful experience! We started with the tempura soft crab, which was perfectly crispy and beautifully cooked. The light batter complemented the sweet, tender meat of the crab, making it a standout appetizer.For our main course, we indulged in their sashimi options, and I was impressed by the freshness and quality. Each piece was sliced to perfection, allowing the delicate flavors of the fish to shine through. It was clear that the chefs take pride in sourcing their ingredients.We couldn't resist trying all the desserts, and my absolute favorite was the crème brûlée. It had the perfect balance of a rich custard base and a beautifully caramelized top, making for an indulgent finish to our meal.Overall, Torai Sushi delivered an exceptional dining experience with delicious food and attentive service. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu!

I really like the restaurant. The sushi entrees and service is top notch. Tiny space with a few tables, but truly authentic with reasonable prices. Highly recommend over the saturated sushi spots with inflated prices. Staff is extremely nice.

Decent sushi and okay service but a cute location. Torai was a pretty small location, but we were really keen on having sushi and were glad we found this place to satisfy that craving. We must've come on a day where it was fairly busy and understaffed, because service was a bit slow, but friendly. Prices are fairly reasonable and sushi was decent, so I think we just came on an off day for them. I wouldn't count this place out just yet, but I'm not gunning to return unless I were in the area and this was convenient.

Really in the mood for sushi.Out of town in DCTook a chance on a short Uber ride from my hotelWOW! What a find, right across from a Marine Barracks in the Washington Naval Yard area.Small hole in the wall, with some of the best sushi I've had in a while. Made it here for a late lunch. Fast service and high quality very fresh sushi.Will definitely be back next time I'm staying in the area.

The salmon here is outstanding. The other fish are good too, but I find the salmon especially scrumptious. Be aware that for their sushi, they already add a little bit of wasabi in there, so tell them ahead of time if you don't like wasabi. Friendly woman at the counter. Cute, cozy atmosphere.

Cozy, no frills sushi spot. Great fish quality, with very affordable prices. My partner and I got the sushi love boat for $55 and we were both full after. Such a great deal. Service was friendly and quick. There isn't much seating and it's pretty closely packed, and was very busy for a Wednesday night. I would recommend getting there around 7 to beat the evening rush. I might deem this place the best value sushi spot in DC. I would highly recommend and say it's worth going out of the way for.

Very small and cozy sushi restaurant located in the Eastern Market area. It has limited seating, but perfect to go to on a Saturday night. The workers were nice and greeted us when we came in. I enjoy the plants at the front of the store, adding a bit to the simple decorations inside. Wife and I were confused at first because you order and pay at the register first, I looked a little silly waiting for a server.You can't go wrong (hopefully) with a simple appetizer, miso soup, that comes with the Sushi Lover (for 2). The sushi was very delicious and tasted amazing. They put the right amount of wasabi within the nigiri, which hit nicely. The rolls that came with the nigiri was delicious and I enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately, my only issue was that some of the fish on the nigiri was not as fresh tasting or looking.Willing to go here again at an earlier time.

I have yet to find a price to quality ratio as good as Torai sushi. This is some great sushi for a decent price. The fish is so fresh and flavorful. Perfect rice to fish ratio. The spicy tuna is as good as it gets. I also love the salmon. Just about every sushi here is pretty good, have yet to taste a bad one. It's a lil mom and pop spot and they are so kind and caring. My go to sushi spot even though I live in Maryland.

I had the Unagi Donburi and the softshell crab roll. Excellent dishes. Seating was limited so come early. Service was quick. Background music was pleasant. I would definitely come again earlier for sure.
