"This venerable Japanese restaurant, led by creative director Daisuke Utagawa and executive chef Piter Tjan, is a Chevy Chase standby. Seeking traditional hand rolls and sashimi? This place has plenty to explore on the regular menu, including a sweet and spicy roll, soft shell crab roll, and crunchy shrimp roll. The singular lunch bento is a popular choice." - Tierney Plumb
"Listed among the city’s standout omakase restaurants and recommended for serious sushi aficionados." - Eater Staff
