Sakerum - Washington, D.C.

Awful experience. Waited at the front desk there was no one to greet us for a while because she was handling 2 restaurants hosting stations! They ran out of Sake days before and never reordered. The portions were half of what they posted online. They also ran out of bitters for all their main cocktails. It was dead and the service was very slow after we ordered our meal. It was very overpriced for what we received. We will absolutely not be back!

I’ve been looking for a great sushi restaurant and was told by many friends that Sakerum had an amazing happy hour menu called $5 Sake Hour. I visited their website and Yelp and was pleased with the reviews, pictures, and menu. However, I did not learn until I arrived that the menu had changed and many drink and food items were removed leaving a limited selection. Nonetheless, we ordered the sake (salmon) nigiri and spicy crunch salmon maki sushi, but loved the Kazan and Spicy Slap specialty rolls the most! Overall, good experience. Nice, quaint, and cozy restaurant, with a great ambiance.

Was in DC for the night and decided to stop by after seeing all the great reviews. And they were 100% right. The food and drinks were amazing the atmosphere was nice as well. Our server Paul was super helpful as well. Overall 10/10 experience and we definitely plan on returning next time we’re in DC!

Went for our friend’s birthday and sat on the rooftop. Waited over 1.5 hours for our sushi to come. Sushi was pretty average, not worth the expensive price.

I am amazed that I only just found this wonderful restaurant. The sushi here is outstanding - every piece of fish is fresh and each roll is crafted with care using the best ingredients. The ambiance is incredible, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the sushi is truly mind blowing. Don't hesitate, make sure to visit this place! You won't be disappointed.
