wait - is this a call out for a get together ;)

once when i went to sushi taro, the lunch special was a fish head in a bowl of broth with a side of something that looked like dried intestines. i tried sitting at their traditional japanese tables, and made it for about twenty minutes, before my legs cramped. they actually started laughing at me when i had to stretch out all over the place.

I cannot believe that Kaz Sushi Bistro on I Street has not been mentioned on this thread. The sushi preparations there blow everything else in the city out of the water: tuna w/ black truffle & salmon w/ mango puree are 2 of my favorites. Go often!

I've personally never really liked Sushi Taro. Sushi Ko has always been my favorite. Tako Grill up in bethesda is good most of the time if you're up that way.

for what it's worth, I do not recommend the new-ish sushi place next to Clyde's & the gallery place movie theatre.

I've never had tasteless sushi before. bleh.

I'll second Murasaki and Kotobuki. I also like Raku in Bethesda alot. I went there last night with a couple Japanese friends and they really liked it. The funny thing though is while I prefer the more traditional stuff, they are more interested in the Americanized stuff, like Philly rolls, since they can't get that in Japan. The one tradtional item we got–sea urchin nigiri–was very good and my Japanese friends agreed. I've been to this place a few times and never had a bad experience. Their non-sushi items are really good too.

I plan on trying Sushi Ko soon…

Though not in DC, I have to give a shout out to Yuraku in Germantown. Great food at reasonable prices. Just avoid the lunch buffet.

Yes, yes. Yuraku is great. I go there at least twice a month.

Do you live in Germantown?

Montgomery Village, but moving up north to the Frederick area in about a month. Will still head down the road for Yuraku though!

Are you in MoCo as well?

Dangit! I can walk to Tai Shan, but have never tried it and I find out it's great now? A month before I'm moving?!

The move is so I can shack up with my partner. Gonna have to find a job closer to Frederick, so I don't have to commute to G'burg tho.

Must be a great partner LOL. 'Cause that's like an additional 18 miles away from DC! :p

Yeah, he's a good guy. I was thinking that when I was driving home from the Meat Beat Manifesto show the other night and was thankful I didn't have that extra 30 minutes yet.

Sushi King in Columbia…hands down the best.

Oh man, that brings me back. I used to eat there weekly when I was dating a girl from Burtonsville. Good stuff indeed…
