"Serving contemporary rolls and sashimi in swanky surroundings since 2000, M Street’s swanky 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, but 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." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Delia Jo Ramsey, Eater Staff

"You could also see and be seen at the high-end Gulch restaurant Virago; Swift loves to get sushi from here. Virago’s hushed, sultry interior lends itself perfectly to any patron with a big reputation, and the menu is packed with nigiri, maki, and sashimi that, if you squint, can resemble a snake (look what you made me do)." - 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
