Great happy hour!!! We stopped in for happy hour and the classic drinks were $10 along with some sushi rolls. But the trio with salmon, tuna and waygu nigiri was even better!

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant! The vibes were unmatched! Gorgeous decor! The bathrooms need just a little bit more lighting, for context I went during daylight hours. The time between ordering food and receiving the food was lengthy. BUT...
overall the food tasted amazing!

Zooz is where Arabian nights meet sushi dreams — a glitzy spot that feels straight out of Dubai meets DC. We went on a Friday night and it was a full production: live belly dancers, a fire show, photographers snapping glam shots of guests, and ...
cocktails flowing like it’s a weekend ritual.
The ambiance is luxe and lively — waterfront views, pulsing music, and yes, plenty of Arab men everywhere adding to the scene. The sushi was fresh and pretty, the drinks creative, and I heard their happy hour even has half-off cocktails.
That said, it’s more of a “visit once a year” kind of place — fun for the spectacle, but nothing I’d rush back to weekly. Parking is a hassle (and pricey if you opt for the garage). Let’s see how long the hype lasts. 💃🔥🍸📸

Came here for HH after work today. Drinks were good, service was decent, but I ordered this salad to go which I paid $26 for and I was floored by the quality of this salad upon opening the box once I got home. If you’re gona charge such a hefty...
price at least prioritize quality. This salad looks thrown together. Service and Atmosphere are pointless if there’s no love in the food. I won’t be returning.

Came here in 2024. The overall experience was so bad I had to look back in my calendar to find the restaurant/bar to write a review. I ordered a drink and immediately after consuming, it made me extremely sick. I’m taking a minute after drinkin...
g it. I leave to go to the bathroom because of the illness and a server from the same establishment is trying to talk to my significant other. She informed me through text while I was sick in the bathroom. My overall experience all around was bad. Doubt things have changed since 2024. I ended up receiving a refund the next day after speaking with the manager. Mind you.. that was my first time visiting that establishment.
