Spices Asian Restaurant And Sushi Bar

"Great service and food. The calamari and jalapeño appetizer was ok but not spectacular. It was served with some sort of citrus dipping sauce. The vegetable tempura entree and the stir fried eggplant with chicken were excellent."

"Whole duck was a half. My mom and I went here this month never again. We get home and it was a small lunch instead of dinner. Never knew anybody would eat a burrito with duck and it was with cucumbers. With paid for rice they don’t give you any side we paid $17 each for rice. We got home and had all bones and leg with a slice of meat that wasn’t a whole duck."

"We ordered half big duck, some Nigiri sushi, mango sticky rice, and aged tangerine beef peel. Overall pretty good, nigiri sushi have thick fish meat on top. But the aged tangerine peel beef is somewhat misleading. No tangerine flavour and it tastes more like an American Chinese dish-deep fried thick crusted beef with thick sauce on top. Not a fan. Duck is good. Mango not sweet but stick rice tastes good. Good location 6 mins walk from the zoo. No wait times."

"Yes. This food is good. The sushi is very, very satisfying. I got 6 pieces of Nigiri sushi, a spicy salmon handrolled piece, and the vanilla mochi ice cream... and it was all very delicious. The dishes had beautiful presentation, the fish had a lovely bite and texture, the rice wasn't overly dry like you might find with grocery store sushi, the handrolled piece had a lovely layering to each bite, and it was all just very good. It's a pretty plain opinion from me about this: this place has great sushi. The mochi ice cream was also treated with respect: in terms of its presentation and my enjoyment of it. The restaurant itself was fairly open and spacious. There were many small tables, to one of which we were seated. I didn't check the bathrooms, unfortunately, so I can't comment on cleanliness or maintenance. Overall, however, the place seemed well kept and generally well treated. I really have no complaints, from my perspective on the sushi itself. The server was courteous and checked in from time to time. She accidentally gave us the wrong receipt at the end, but thankfully I checked it before she realized. This is a simple review. Excellent sushi. You pay per piece, if you want Nigiri, otherwise pay by the roll or entrée. I hope my included pictures help entice you to try this restaurant. I recommend everything pictured, and hope to come back for more in the future. 5/5 stars from me."

"I'm from Texas. This was one restaurant we tried that was really good. I'd definitely consider a safe go to when visiting DC. I found other places to be overly spicy and lacking flavor. That was not the case at Spices. Yum!"
