    The sushi rolls have be come minuscules there! The tiny amount of food you get for the price is ridiculous! Rolls used to be decent size and now are about half the size for not so little prices!

    This was some of the best sushi and sashimi I have had in the Washington DC area ever. The King Salmon was unbelievably delicious. They have an active bar area downstairs and a much quieter dining room upstairs. The prices were very reasonable. We will go back the next time we are in DC.
