    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!

    We were a group of six, and everybody was thrilled with the cuisine and the service. The Epoisse casserole, the frisée salad with duck confit, the pheasant, the duck, and the veal chop were sublime, and of course the Floating Island dessert was as magnificent as ever. Tim and Alina are wonderful servers! We totally love this place. Highly recommended!
