Nooshi

Absolutely one of the best noodle shops in D.C. with some of the best Happy Hour deals from 4-7. All drinks are 50% off (with a hefty amount of alcohol), sushi rolls and snacks are ~$5, and the portion sizes are really big. Highly recommend their delicious and crispy Seven Spices Tofu Fries and their Curry Laksa with its broth is delicious. But all of their sushi rolls and noodles dishes are good options. The staff are incredibly kind, and I would definitely come back to try the rest of the options! Generally, the restaurant isn't too crowded on weekdays, but they do allow reservations. There is both outdoor and indoor seating. Second time around and still really enjoying the restaurant. Had their Mojitos this time and the Pomegranate mojito was delicious. Also had the Pikachu Maki Roll which was massive and sadly didn't resemble Pikachu but tasted very good.

Honestly, I was expecting not to like Nooshi. Thought it would be your typical dc Asian restaurant where it's such a mash up of different cultures that nothing tastes right but I was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was good (fairly standard if you ask me) but the Pad Thai was really tasty! I might even say the best Pad Thai I've had in dc. The tofu happy hour special was also good and was a large portion.

The Sashimi entree was fresh and slightly salty but an excellent taste when dipped in soy sauce! This dish just melts in your mouth. This dish was perfect for two and priced reasonably. The service was also great & quick. The restaurant was clean, as were the restrooms. This is a nice spot to catch up with friends & family as the ambiance is charming yet welcoming.
