Top Sushi: DC

I've been frequenting sushi restaurants at a rate of about twice a week for the past year or so. For the most part, I stick with a few favorites but I have experienced enough of them to at least have general knowledge of what's best and what sucks. Yesterday, I hastily rattled off a list to an acquaintance by e-mail of my top sushi restaurants in DC. It was a quick list and sometimes spontaneous answers are the best, or most honest. For those who are interested, here they are (in order of favs):

(1) Perry's in Adam's Morgan (rooftop dining is the clincher);

(2) Sakana Japanese in Dupont (2026 P St), (in a word: awesome);

(3) Sushi Taro in Dupont upstairs from CVS (always busy Thurs.-Sun.);

(4) Japanese Inn in Glover Park (expensive, authentic, austere ambiance);

(5) Uni in Dupont (creative dishes);

(6) Kyoto by the Hill (cheap happy hour special, good sushi, otherwise no liquor license sucks);

(7) Whole Foods (sushi is CHEAP, quick and made by Sushiko (see below));

(8) Café Asia in Rosslyn (over rated but huge menu includes hot dishes, free parking in garage key, huge restaurant, I haven't been to the one in DC);

(9) Sushiko (should be renamed Sushi-ok, b/c that's what I think of it, much higher prices than Whole Foods so lower rating);

(10) Dragonfly on 18th Street (funky bar serves expensive sushi, not bad
idea for a date, but very mod Euro crowd, guys should wear metro-wear!).

UPDATE: Went to Kaz Sushi Bistro last night....don't waste your time.
