Margeaux and the crew are always amazing
Delicious!
Service was very slow, waited 15 minutes before anyone came to our table with water/ to take orders. Food was delicious and came out quickly after ordering, however. Restaurant can be a little loud
Amazing sushi and cocktails! This place is a vibe. Beautifully decorated.
Food was great.
We go to zeppelin every Friday and the staff have started to know our orders. We love it!
Multiple, unhappy waiters; soggy sushi; overpriced everything- wish I could get a refund
Our server was fantastic in recommending specific dishes while also pointing out dishes that we may want to avoid based on our preferences. I'll give the food a 7/10. The low rating is primarily related to an incident that happened as we were getting ready to pay our bill. An employee, presumably on break, was sitting down at a nearby table looking at his phone. He then proceeded to sneeze but only after he removed his mask to do so. He then kept his mask pulled down under his chin thereafter. What is the point of wearing a mask if you pull it down to sneeze?
We came on time for our reservation where we were promptly seated at a good table in the corner by the bar. Our server - who also was the bartender that evening - was quite polite and let us know he may be a little slow to come around, but not hesitate to wave him down.
Aside from that he was quite prompt and even offered suggestions to our order to better mesh the flavors we were exploring.
This is easily my new favorite place for sushi and maki hands down.
I give Zeppelin five stars on the covid situation of today!! They have a table height heater for each table. It feels as though you are eating in front of a fireplace. Should you still need additional warmth, which I did not, they sell blankets upon request. They have plexiglass between the tables. I was comfortable and felt safe.
The best part is their food and drink are delicious too, which makes this one of our favorite Covid, winter weather favorite restaurant!!
Zeppelin has a really fun atmosphere, with dark ambiance and fun music. Perfect for a date or a birthday dinner or just a Friday night dinner. Loved the drinks and zeppelin roll!
Always a treat to eat here.
Highly recommend this place.
Great options and they're taking Covid seriously enough to make me feel safe.
Food and service were great, we ate outside on an incredibly cold night but the staff did a great job making sure everyone was comfortable. Will be back!
Amazingly fresh sushi with both the basics and an incredible, more exotic variety. Sake list is best in DC and staff really knows their stuff. Margaux and Matt are the best service team! Feel like I am visiting old friends every time I see them.
This is an incredible sushi experience. Best sushi I have had in a long time. And they have the covid dining down! Good distance between tables, LOTS OF HEATERS! I had my coat off outside in mid-January. Such a great night. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!
Exceptional
We had a great evening at Zeppelin. They have got this outdoor dining thing down-- plenty of heaters and a canopy over the patio, yet still spacious, airy, socially distant.
Food is great with delicious sushi and maki, but also great entrees. Worth a visit. We must help keep this gem alive!!
Incredible service, incredible atmosphere, and the best sushi in DC! Highly recommend!
Its the best 👍🏻
I liked the fact that the staff did not forget about the occasion and brought a dessert with a candle for my wife. Service was great. It was courteous and prompt.
Absolutely Gem. Masterful Japanese cuisine & exceptional craft cocktails. Special thanks to Chef_Mad. A DC must-experience venue.
Amazing time, great food and service! Highly recommend this place. The barracuda nigiri special was amazing. Great drinks too and very warm heaters for outside during the winter.
Food was great. We sat outside and were warm! Table side heat lamps worked great.
Best sushi in DC! Super covid safe and there is an abundance of outdoor heaters!!
Exceptional on every level. The sushi practically sang in my mouth. So delicious, fresh and unique. The Zeppelin roll required seconds.
Madison was a top notch server. We let him lead the way and gave up our menus.
The drinks were delicious and so creative. Under the mastery of Micah, the owner, you can feel his fingerprint on this modern sushi establishment.
From first sip we knew we'd come back again and again.
If you are reluctant to eat out, take the Zeppelin roll, sashimi platter and some mesmerizing cocktails to go!
Always wonderful food and service. A neighborhood gem!
We had an amazing server and you guys were so great with my pups. Thank you!
Amazing food and fun staff. The HH drinks were delicious. And the Sinai zeppelin roll is one of the best I’ve had in the city. Will definitely be back.
Thé service was very bad. Servers didn’t really care we were there and doing their own thing. Not worth the high price if you are going to get that type of service
Amazing sushi, wonderful service. My favorite sushi place in the city. A neighborhood gem. Highly recommend.
Lovely spot.
Great food, great service, and enjoyed the happy hour drinks! Very good and knowledgeable about gluten-free substitutes/questions, I really appreciated that!
Really awesome, spacious, outdoor seating area. Interesting and tasty cocktails. Sushi was good, but not life changing. Miso soup and edamame very good.
I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of my meal. I had the Chesapeake Roll and the Dragon Roll, with the CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA. Omg!! that drink is so strong and delicious. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want a a chill night out. The patio area is really cool and distant from the sidewalk. I look forward to returning to this city gem.
Great food and excellent service every time I come here!
Unremarkable sushi in a cool setting. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and a nice patio.
Fish was amazing
sat at our table for 25 minutes then walked out after no one came to even ask if we wanted a drink let alone take our order, not going back
Love this place, great drinks, great sushi, great service!
Would try again. Noisy but in a lively way. Service slow and as the evening and crowds came in, got slower. They need more servers. We got a lot of food and no complaints.
