overpriced small portions.  I was very underwhelmed with my Kushi experience.  The sushi was pretty mediocre and the portions quite small.  We went there to try a new place and won't be returning not because it was horrible but DC has so many better options at $50/person.  The service was good however.

I'm typically not a fan of fancy restaurants but we went there for a special occasion and it was very nice.  Definitely recommend doing the wine pairings.  They could have used some very faint music in the background to help with the ambiance but overall its a very romantic place for a date.

my kind of restaurant where the staff was very friendly and I could order whenever I wanted (I don't like being waited on).  the food was pretty good but their hot sauce was awesome.  I probably ate too much but it was worth it.

we would have gotten the bottomless frozen yogurt if they had toppings

last night we got seated instantly for outdoor seating on a rare beautiful evening in DC.  after sitting outside for about 15 minutes (I was looking at my watch) with no one coming to give us water, silverware, or any attention whatsoever, I went inside to tell the hostess we still hadn't seen anyone.  The hostess seemed shocked and said they would send someone immediately.  7 minutes later, I walked back into the restaurant and returned the menus.  While the food looked decent, I doubt we will ever go back given all the other choices in the area.

where are the spring rolls?!

went there yesterday for lunch with my girlfriend excited to finally have a Vietnamese place in Capitol Hill.  The decor and service were fair but their attempts to make a good thing better was a disaster.  We started with the pate which was served with less than half the bread it should have been.  

Next we got our soups.  My girlfriend's had no flavor and we had to repeatedly ask for more sauce (since it wasn't readily available at the table) which came in very small bowls and probably held about a table spoon of duck and hot sauce.  I got the spicy pork which wasn't spicy and made me wonder if BP had another oil spill in my bowl.  I couldn't eat more than a few bites without thinking I was going to give myself a heart attack and left it mostly uneaten.

walking out of the restaurant, I told my girlfriend we are never going there again.

went there last night after a movie at AMC Hoffman, the food fairly decent at decent prices but the service was very lacking.  later I realized that the restaurant does not have any busboys and the waitresses are doing A-Z.  the net effect is that we got lousy service and the waitresses were exhausted.

the place is cute and convenient which is what probably keeps it in business.

nice addition to the neighborhood.  I got the wild mushroom ravioli which was pretty tasty but the portion was too small to fill me up.

this place is more trendy than it is good.  of course I didn't expect better dim sum than other places in Chinatown but I did expect a little more flavor.
