    Kumo Asian Bistro – one of my to-date fave shoots that I got to do several times over the years and the owners as well as staff were some of the best I’ve met. Plethora of creative and amazing looking and tasting dishes with plenty of Japanese offerings, like gallery above, and then Chinese and…

    All of the locals know Masa, but man shooting them was absolutely something else! First they forgot about the shoot so we rescheduled. On round #2 – they scheduled themselves during their lunch into dinner downtime hours, so I had to go kill time a few doors down as I was intent on getting this…

    So Nama Sushi Bar, booooy what a story here as I have mentioned in their sister restaurant post, Alta Strada. Quick setup is as follows: 5 item shoot, in and out, and scheduled 2 hours before their opening hours. Sounds excellent and I had a busy day of sitting in traffic, so faster way out…

    Sarku Japan is your standard Japanese-style chain that offers predominantly grilled eats and some sushi rolls. Definitely not bad for the price, but even in the area there are far, far better offerings in the same category. Quick and easy gig, and at least this place bothered with plates instead of styrofoam takeout containers most…

    Another old take on Japanese takeout where everything is mediocre, but at least quick and easy. Perfect spot to lure in an unsuspecting American and either wow their lack of tastebuds or get them to think Japanese cuisine is just like Panda Xpress.

    Asian Bistro right on King Street in Alexandria, VA, offers nice mixed Asian-American menu in a relaxing dining atmosphere. Aside from dealing with back dining room, after sunlight kinda florescent lighting this was a straight forward kinda gig.

    Right outside of University of Maryland in College Park is a Chinese-Japanese fusion carryout Kiyoko Express. Decent food, decent prices. Plus easy peasy to shoot and usually get treated to some of the props.
