"Hilo Poké and Sushi in Adams Morgan punches way above its weight. It’s the most budget-friendly restaurant on this list (rolls start at $12.95), and it serves as a friendly reminder that you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles for good eats, just great food... and kooky decor? When you step into the restaurant, you'll enter a world of mismatched hanging lanterns, a mural of animated koi fish, and walls adorned in popping shades of pink and green. It’s over the top, in a charmingly offbeat way that might just earn this place a high spot on your list." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
