About this business

Located in the heart of the Mt. Vernon Square neighborhood in D.C. is Kushi, an izakaya and sushi restaurant serving some of the best Japanese cuisine in the city. Izakaya - a traditional Japanese restaurant serving grilled items created from the highest quality ingredients (many of which are flown in daily from Japan) - is represented well here, as Kushi uses a deep charcoal robata pit and smaller yakitori grills to create its delicacies. The grill counter is located in the main dining area and has 30 seats wrapping around ... read more

Citysearch Editorial Review – About five minutes north of D.C.'s Chinatown, Kushi Izakaya & Sushi takes great care to present the best of Japan. The sushi bar imports all of its ingredients, down to the charcoal that fires its robata grill, from Japan. The effect? Food and a space that mirror one another in simplicity and good taste.

Cool concept, pricey fare – I guess a Japanese izakaya-style restaurant could be equated to a Spanish tapas-style restaurant - order many small dishes to share.
