Sushi restaurant recommendations in DC?

[amnesiac]

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.

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.

[nkotb]

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

Sushi Ko in DC is very good.
 
 I live about 2 miles from Sushi Sono and go there often. I know alot of people like Sushi King too, and it's good, but usually the people who like Sushi King the best have never been to Sushi Sono

Same owners...I think.  Been to Sushi Sono it was very good but I  like Sushi King better...more laid back atmosphere and great staff.

They're related, but not the same owners.
