I go here for lunch all the time - great specials pricing! I don't think it's "the best" but it is a hidden gem. |

You think fish is caught on the edge of the coast? |
. It was OK, but not spectacular. I will start going to the others. Thanks everyone. PS:

Depends on your definition of good sushi. For Japanese style sushi where the focus is on good nigiri, Sushi Taro, Yuzu and maybe Sushi ko are going to be your best bets. Sushi Ko can be inconsistent in its quality though with rice that is packed too tight.
If you want the fancy rolls, can't really help you there. As for freshness of fish, everything gets shipped now. There is going to be no difference in the freshness of fish between Minneapolis and DC. Most of it comes through NYC, Seattle, or LA and then delivered same day via air. Tuna and salmon can actually last several days if stored properly. Best days to eat are often Tuesday and Friday as they are the days after shipments are likely to be scheduled if it is a place that does not do daily shipments, though they all say they do. |

| Sushi Ko still has a location in Chevy Chase. |

Yes but when people say Sushi Ko, don't they always mean the D.C. location? I would always qualify and add "Friendship Heights" if referring to the other (now the only) one. |

| That's sad, we ate there once a week when we lived in Glover Park. |

I'll third it. So freakin good. In any event, in DC, Sushi Taro is tops. Sushi Ko and Kaz are decent. |

Wow. Glad to know it's still there and still good. I thought it was just a memory. (My great meals there were in 1991.) |

| All the Japanese people I know (lots through DH's company) go to Tachibana in McLean for good authentic Japanese sushi. We love it too. |

| Yuzu is really good. Little pricey but good quality. |
