Best Roll

1. Sushi Taro

Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

easily the best sushi restaurant in the DC area.... i would give it a 5 stars if they had better sashimi selection.  They have a pretty extensive list for everything else though, rolls, grilled meat...

2. Kotobuki

Neighborhood: Palisades

will be the sea scallop.  The maki are a great deal as well with many of the 6-piece roll sets ringing in at $2.95-$4.00.  I went with the spicy salmon roll and the spicy scallop roll.  Both were great except...

3. Spices Asian…

Neighborhood: Cleveland Park

the spring rolls, but the Thai fried rice is amazing.  One of their best.  The sushi is very fresh and even with delivery, the rice is still warm.  The man that answers the phone does love to repeat your...

4. Sake Club

Neighborhood: Woodley Park

This is by far the best sushi in DC.  They get thumbs up for having creative rolls, good sake and yummy tapas.  I have been there so much, that the owner knows me by name and always starts our meal...

2. Kotobuki

Neighborhood: Palisades

3. Sushi-Ko

Neighborhood: Glover Park

Is "over-rated" considered one word or two? The rice wasn't good; the fish was far from fresh (yuck). That pretty much ruins sushi. Skip it!...

4. Makoto Restaurant

Second was clams wrapped up in a radish shell.  It was very fresh tasting.  Seventh course - sushi.  Maguro, flounder, and spanish mackerel.  Eighth course - pan fried yellow tail.  The fish was SOOOO...

5. Bonsai Grill

Great sushi for the price.   I would stick to the sushi as the fish is very fresh.  I wasn't impressed with the one or two of the cooked dishes I've had there.    The service is very slow, especially...
