Sleek sushi spot serving creative rolls, sashimi & cocktails
"Virago’s Maki Saki Mondays were a local favorite at their old location. They’ve moved since then (about one door down, to be exact) and the space has managed to get even sexier, so the crowds still come out on the first day of the week. You’ll find couples and large groups slamming half-price rolls to the face under orange lighting, and everyone seems to be drinking two-for-one wasabi martinis and yuzu sours. When it comes time to order, get the new moon roll that's loaded with tuna, salmon, and kimchi, and topped with a dollop of spicy yuzu sauce. Throw in the pretty rainbow box, a pressed sushi dish that looks like something from a jewelry store, showing off pearls made out of soy." - Ann Walczak
"Serving contemporary rolls and sashimi in swanky surroundings since 2000, M Street’s dressed up pan-Asian restaurant in the Gulch is many locals’ go-to sushi spot. In addition to bao, robatayaki, and other hot dishes, you’ll find a wide menu of nigirizushi (composed sushi), sashimi, and sushi rolls with plenty of options, you can also trust the chef with the omakase tasting (dine-in only). Don’t miss the extensive list of sake, Japanese whiskeys, and cocktails with on-theme flavors like wasabi and lychee." - Kellie Walton
"In the Gulch, Virago is a high-end sushi restaurant with a hushed, sultry interior that Swift reportedly favors for sushi; the menu is packed with nigiri, maki, and sashimi suitable for a high-fashion Reputation vibe." - Kellie Walton
"Serving modern sushi rolls and sashimi in swanky surroundings since 2000, M Street’s sushi-focused restaurant is a long-time Monday night favorite for its Maki Sake Monday — featuring half-price sushi and two-for-one cocktails/sake. A wide menu of nigirizushi (composed sushi), sashimi, and sushi rolls gives plenty of options — or just trust the chef with their omakase option." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"Serving modern, visually stunning sushi rolls and sashimi since 2000, M Street’s sushi-focused Gulch restaurant is a go-to for many locals. A wide menu of nigirizushi (composed sushi), sashimi, and sushi rolls gives plenty of appealing options for curbside takeout and delivery. Order online for curbside takeout or use Postmates or Uber Eats to have Wagyu tataki, Golden Dragon rolls, and crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and watermelon pop rocks delivered to your doorstep." - Delia Jo Ramsey
