I'm this PP, but just now read that you want "yummy rolls." Sushi Taro and Sushi Ko are very authentic--everythign is yummy, but they aren't big into rolls. They're too upscale for that.

Really makes my skin crawl to see grown adults use the word "yummy". Like nails on a chalkboard.

I was quoting OP, but I agree. Sorry for that.

While your snobbery made me smile, I have to tell you that Sushi Ko most definitely has rolls (ura maki). Apparently you're slumming it more than you realize when you go there...lol!

My snobbery? I like rolls as much as the next person, but I can see how my somewhat tongue-in-cheek use of "upscale" came across as snobby. I'll gladly try the rolls at Sushi Ko now that you mention it. But yes, Sushi Taro would say they're too "authentic" for eclectic roll foolishness.

Nooshi in Dupont and Sushi Ko in CC and glover park

Have you tried OhFish? It is a new place on 19th Street - owned by the Kaz folks. It is semi-automated, but don't let that scare you away. It just means they put the rice on the seaweed by machine.

They make really good (and very large) rolls - and you can choose from the menu or do a custom roll. I love mixing spicy and sweet ingredients - like spicy tuna and pineapple, or crab stick and kimchi.

Try Miyagi in McLean.

What sushi spots don't have speical rolls?

Well besides Harris Teeter?

Oh yee of little faith! They do these too.

Raku in Dupont.

Murasaki probably has about 20 or so "special" rolls, and the menu has very good pictures of all of them so you know exactly what you are getting.

Kaz. Hands down.

Kushi is quite good -- downtown.

Love Murasaki is great. Always packed with Embassy staff like the PP said. Once we were the only non-Japanese diners in there!

If you are going out to the burbs Maneki Neko in Falls Church can't be beat.

Agree with the Kushi recommendation, but my all time favorite sushi is at Kaz. Try the seared salmon belly nigiri or any of the tuna specialties. The sushi is amazing!

Kushi
