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.

Upon entering the restaurant, it took a while for someone to greet and acknowledge my family, which was a bit disappointing. However, once we were seated, everything was amazing. The food was excellent, and the ambience was quite pleasant. Overall, a wonderful dining experience despite the initial wait.
