"A parade of sashimi, Japanese plates, and ever-elusive pufferfish await in the depths of Wisconsin Avenue NW. After closing downtown Sushi Gakyu earlier this year, talented sushi chef Yoshi Ota moved on to Georgetown with the May opening of Sushi Gaku. Traditional nigiri and maki, an omakase menu ($180), affordable sushi “sets” starting at $28, and a $100 prix fixe option round out the new menu. Dinner is served from 5 to 10 p.m. every night except Tuesdays. A zen patio out back is framed in stone and greenery." - Tierney Plumb
