I can see a team of HW, Sup, PP, Schmad and JRK, if he's still tinkering with tennis. You could show these country rednecks how to grip and rip.

BTW, watched a little of a big meet between traditional black colleges - Tuskegee, Moorehouse State, Albany State, etc. - at this site today. Saw some pretty good tennis.

gandalf.. please stop running amuck

tachi's awesome. I had been going to them up to 3 yrs ago. I've been doing their weekend lunch sashimi special. Back then, it's like $13, for very high quality sashimi, a bowl of rice, a grilled salmon head, and a salad with miso dressing.

Don't know what it costs now. It's really busy there. They also have a out of this world thanksgiving buffet. Only thanksgiving weekend, you book a 2 hr block for a sashimi and cooked food frenzy. It's like $50 but you get your money's worth.

any other sushi places i need to check out?

edit: they are still decently cheap. i'm not sure about the dinners but we went straight for the rolls and it came out to be ~30-40/pp. not bad for decent rolls. i've had makoto, sushi taro, matuba and sushi ko in dc so please don't suggest those. i'm looking for holes in the wall type of joints off the beaten path.

funny enough, the only place i've been to in that list was matuba. And I thought I was playing more for decor than the food.
Yuraku in Germantown used to be the spot for great sushi at an awesome price. However, the only thing I go there nowadays are their buffet and speciality rolls. Sashimi quality doesn't taste same as before. Not good and Not bad, just different than before. Their sear white tuna seawood salad is really good still.
I haven't been to any sushi restaurant for the past 8 monthes (wife is pregnant). Oh yeah, there's a called Sushi En. New hole in the wall place but I heard sushi is very good.

less than two weeks away from the 100 year old grease burger.

sapient007 · 04-02-2012, 06:33 AM

new place in dc called kushi is pretty good tho pricey being in the new convention center area. IMO they do a better yakitori than their sushi. they've been putting out living social 50% off deals so it makes it worth while. not having to drive is def a plus.

back to tacibana. i thought their fish was fresh. maybe a little too heavy on the sesame oil but otherwise good. i find their rainbow roll disgusting but i guess exotic rolls is the name of the game.

if you want a good deal for fresh fish in the DC area, there's another place named kotubuki close by mutuba which dishes out decent value considering the area. the selection is less but the food is good.

sushi taro just sucks now after the remodel. they've jacked up prices while decreased food quality.

komi next door to sushi taro is still the best joint in DC. too bad it got rated as #1 in washintonian as they've jacked up their prefix to be 120/pp.. the good old days of 70/pp is over... ~sad~

I like Bonsai in Shirlington. But I have a feeling I'm not as discerning as many of you.
