The Room
Sushiko opened in Glover Park in 1976 — Washington's longest-running serious-Japanese restaurant. Forty-nine years later the room is one of DC's most-enduring Japanese institutions.
The Washington Post has held Sushiko on its top-Japanese-restaurant rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The sushi counter handles a serious nigiri-and-sashimi programme. The chef's omakase counter at $125 per person is the order for a serious Japanese dinner.
Sake programme is deep. Service is informed and warm.
