   The food was incredible, amazing rolls and great fish. We were stuck in a corner seat with hardly any room to get in and out. 10+ mins for server to come around for drinks order. Server also broke a bottle off of our table. Drinks orders took a while to come out. I would go again and sit at the bar, but I don’t think it is worth it for a date night.

   We were expecting hibachi with the chefs cooking in front of you which is why I’m giving it 4 stars because of our expectations. The food was good. Pretty tight with seating, you can hear your neighbors conversations.

   The menu was very complete for the various Japanese foods Americans expect including habachi, Raman and sushi. They had a good sake selection. Service was fast and everything tasted great.

   Needed a quick dinner place near GWU and decided on this restaurant for convenience. However, food was so bad that we ended up walking out without touching most of the sushi and grabbing fast food for dinner. Sushi quality was so bad, salmon seemed old, tuna was dark purple, and king salmon was just greasy - all raw fish. Hamachi was falling apart in the ponzu sauce. Ramen is probably the safest choice - we ordered both the spicy and the non-spicy ramen. Spicy ramen was the only dish we ended up finishing. Very disappointing for a +$175 meal. Our server was attentive, but it didn't make up for the disappointing food quality.

   Staff was friendly. Food is delicious but overpriced I think. Rice in rolls was sticky and a bit dry. My friend liked the pork ramen. Overall I had a good experience

   Good food I recently dined at Toryumon and had a great sushi experience. The calm atmosphere matched the delicious flavors. The fish and rice were prepared just right. The special rolls were creative and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the meal even better. Toryumon is a good visit for anyone who loves sushi and wants a pleasant dining experience. It is a spot I will be returning to for more sushi and Japanese food.

   Reliable, Japanese Sushi restaurant with some creative rolls and nice Hibachi offerings. But the standout here is the Ramen and the varied selections. This is where Toryumon truly shines. I had to ding them a star as I found the quality of their sashimi to not quite be there, fresh but not as high quality as what I would expect. The service is exemplary, with highly attentive waitstaff and conscientious servers. Value was what you'd expect from a Foggy Bottom restaurant close to big law firms and the GW campus.

   It felt like a young university vibe. The rolls were ok, the rice was dry and not white as I’ve had every where else. The ramen was good.

    This would have been a fantastic dinner except the moment we sat down the fire alarm was triggered and it persisted for our entire meal (45 minutes) despite staff repeatedly saying the fire department was on their way. We understood there wasn’t anything they could do in terms of the alarm but we were seated directly under the alarm so it was extremely loud and didn’t allow us to talk to each other. They didn’t offer to move us either even though we saw others ask for a new table and they were relocated to a quieter part of the restaurant. Very disappointing experience, especially since the food was great.
