Let me tell yall.....this is the best sushi i ever had on the east coast so far from nyc to miami to the dmv. It's in what looks like an office building but let me tell you, this is thee hidden gem of gems. Went here to celebrate my bd's birthday and i couldn't have found a better place. Lets start with the food - everything is phenomenal. We got the quiet luxury, 3xseared salmon nigiri, 2x crispy rice spicy tuna, spicy scallop handroll, crunchy shrimp roll and some beers. All that food just for $100 and it's high quality fish. They told me they dont do much for birthdays but still gave us a free desert. The staff is so friendly and the ambiance is amazing - clean and simple & playing the best music. I drove an hour to get here and i'd do it over and over and over again! Please come here it will not disappoint!!!!!!

Loved the food and a great attentive wait staff! Definitely will be back. We had the crispy rice tuna, spicy scallop & Chu toro temaki and a chirashi bowl. Everything came out perfect and delicious.

This has become our favorite sushi spot in the DMV. The menu is not your generic sushi place, and we love the creativity in the dishes and flavor combos. The sashimi is always very fresh, perfect temperature (not too cold). They also have higher end selection like A5 wagyu flown from Japan. Delicious!!! Everything is always perfectly cooked. Even the kids udon noodles, you can taste the noodles are not your standard packaged udon from the store. The price is also reasonable for the type of food it is. The service is always very nice. I wouldn't say michelin attentive, because when it gets busy they do sometimes forget to bring standard things like soysauce dish, etc. but the staff are always very nice and accommodating when we ask. Very kids friendly, nice eye rolling when your 2 year old decides to have a melt down over the unknown. The space is very comfortable. Not cramped with ample arm space. The ambiance is perfect for our mom/dad dates and with kids. Music not too loud, can actually have a conversation. But lighting and decor has a cool modern vibe to it. Love this place and love to see it thriving!

Everything was delicious! I recommend the chirashi and the crispy rice. The jelly drink was really good too! It's a nice date spot or a great place to check out with friends.

I got a bento which is a lot of food. My husband got the jpop roll which was a baked sushi roll and was pretty good. My fatty tuna bento came with a salad, 2 karage pieces, and a dessert. Everything tasted good, it was just difficult to eat the fish with the rice in such a small bowl. I also would avoid the fish eggs they were super salty and took away from the taste of the tuna. We got the krispy rice tuna appetizer, which I think makes for a really neat picture. The taste was pretty average, but I would get it again with friends just for a new experience. My husband's sushi was really flavorful, I think next time I'll just get a sushi rolls instead of the bento. The service wasn't as good as their other location. No one came to clear our appetizer plates and we didn't get water until the people next to us asked for it. I'm guessing it was just understaffed that day so it didn't bother me.

We ordered from Kema recently as our regular go to spot was closed. It was a great experience and the food was really good. The miso was spot on and rolls (new spicy tuna, eel avocado, spicy salmon crunch and the Philly) were all very flavorful and good quality. We have already ordered twice! It is a bit pricey especially for the nigiri, but that's the only downside so far!

Trying to figure out what to have for dinner, we stumble upon Kema. Such a great gem to find! We ordered a few dishes (two rolls, a bento box, two hand rolls) to share. The sushi was amazing! We ordered the old bae and green monster. Perfectly executed and the flavors all worked together. The nigiri bento box came with 5 pieces of nigiri, karaage, salad, and dessert. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The fish was super fresh and had a clean taste. The kale salad was different but I loved the dressing on it. The chicken karaage was light and crispy. Lastly the dessert was a banana fritter with blueberry sauce and it was delicious, not too sweet either. The two hand rolls we ordered were chu toro and spicy scallop. Each bite was tasty, very fresh and melted in your mouth. There was a lot of tuna and scallop in each hand roll. Not overpowering with all the flavors going on. I'm not in Cabin John area often, but if I happen to be up this way, I am definitely coming back here. It's a great spot if you are craving sushi or want to have a meal with friends or a date night.

On a Friday night around 5, it was easy to get a table for me and my mom. We sat, ordered, and the food came out quickly. The service was great and everything was tasty. We ordered the crispy rice + spicy tuna, which was the perfect two bites for each of us. The rice was crunchy and the tuna was the perfect amount of spiciness. Our Maki (Mango Tango and Soft Shell Crab) were delicious, the Nigiri Moriawase was fresh and the spicy Cucumbers were salty, but flavorful. Would recommend this place for a slightly elevated date night.

Innovative sushi rolls and unique cocktails We dined in on a Friday night. We were given a spot that oversees the kitchen. It was fun to see the rolls being made for in restaurant patrons and to go orders. Service was interesting. We were told to order at the counter which was a short walk around the restaurant. I think it would have been nicer if we had our own server. At one point we served ourselves water since the pitcher was seated next to us. Sushi was very fresh and flavorful. They had a lot of options. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was fantastic. We enjoyed the Magnolia cocktails. One of the main reasons we dined in was for the strawberry banana parfait served in a fish container. It lived up to the hype.
