Except for a few omakase experiences, Sushiko has the best fish I've had in town. The exceptional selection, including Japanese uni and mackerel, and the skill in preparation and presentation, make this the best sushi/sashimi restaurant in DC.

The miso ramen and stamina spicy were excellent! We also got the whiskey infused dumplings and the flavors were phenomenal. If you like spicy, ask for the spice bomb to be added to your ramen, it’s got the perfect ghost pepper kick!

Mala needs to spruce up its facility. One waiter only. Poor guy running whole Place. He was very nice and as quick as possible. Terrible lighting and heat was lacking on a cold night. Kinda sad since the food was very good. Dark and cold last night.
