Sushiko Chevy Chase - Besthesda

I know of no better Japanese cuisine restaurant in DC since the closure of Makoto. The freshness and quality of ingredientes is handled with mastery and artfulness by the chef and his team. The service was impeccable.

The food is consistently great but the service is like a pancake house on Sunday morning. The bring the food and try to hustle you out. A dinner of 4 friends which usually should be 90-120 minutes was rushed to 45 min. When we said we wanted to continue chatting our waitress made an odd face.

Had another great meal at Sushiko Chevy Chase. The fish is fresh and, particularly the specials, so creative. The staff is efficient and friendly without being intrusive. If you haven't tried it, I suggest you do.

We go to sushiko a lot. But last night was extraordinary. The chirashi special was sublime. The king salmon sashimi and nigiri was a real treat. All accompanied by a lovely dry sake and enhanced by first rate service.

Sushiko can ruin you for standard sushi. Our meal, the bento box, was terrific. We also ordered the handmade Wasabi for$9. It's a small amount and expensive but I would order it again.
