Came back here after several years and Sushiko holds up over the years. The happy hour specials from 5-7 PM were fantastic. They have managed to give a fine dining twist on karage that is so good. Also love the hamachi crudo and salmon ceviche-really fresh and paired nicely with the lychee martini. Great sake options also. We really enjoyed all of the sakes we tried. Finished with a bento box and loved all of the super fresh sashimi, sushi and rolls. I'm sure the staff was shocked we ate so much but we haven't had sushi this good or fresh in awhile. Service was really fantastic. The servers were super friendly and always on top of our table refilling with water and making sure we were happy. The ambiance is very classy but comfortable. The dining room is very pleasing to the eye and cozy. The bar is a full bar and can probably prepare any drink that you want. read more

Representing a runner-up to out of town pick for a local DMV place representing 2019, S is for Sushiko. I visited twice in February 2019 & December 2019. Both times were after a movie at AMC Mazza Gallerie on the DC side of Western Ave NW, and both times were with the same woman. Feb. 2019, she was friend & became a girlfriend in June 2019. Experience was pretty good the first time, and I was game to go again when my girlfriend suggested it in December 2019. I was underwhelmed on the 2nd visit. I felt like it was overpriced compared to other places, and sushi was subpar in my opinion. I've had other sushi that I enjoyed more at a lower price. The place is fancy with the table settings & atmosphere, but it's just not worth the price. My g/f of the time agreed with me, that she was underwhelmed too, and she would've be vocal to tell me if she thought I was wrong, but we were on the same page on this one. read more

Sushiko Chevy Chase - Decent sushi with masago, avocado, & crab maybe in Feb. 2019 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Chevy Chase, Maryland

This is the spot to get great sushi for very reasonable prices! Especially with happy hour until 7! Service was super friendly, with several servers and employees checking in on us and taking care of us. I really enjoyed the hand rolls and the element roll. would love to come back to try more options - especially the much talked about hot rock wagyu!! There is a large parking lot out front with validated parking. read more

Tasty food. Uneven service. Very loud. You will hear many details of the other table members' lives if they don't attempt to moderate their voices read more

This place came highly recommended by one of my friends as one of the better sushi options in the area. My friends and I came for happy hour and very strangely got seated in the restaurant section and ignored for sometime until we inquired. We were told happy hour was not offered in the regular seating section and redirected to the bar, where we were offered both the happy hour and the regular menus. I had salmon crudo and chicken karage and the food was okay but the portions were quite small. My friends had rolls from the regular menu and also tried the hand rolls, which turned out to be a large block of rice and not at all what they were expecting for a hand roll. Overall mediocre sushi experience. Easy metro access. read more

Superb food in modern/contemporary environment. Some items like hot stone wagyu have left the menu. Friendly and attentive service. Can be expensive, but sushi quality is always good. Convenient parking in "The Chevy Chase Collection" outdoor and underground parking lots. read more

SUSHIKO was a favorite waaaaay back when it was located in Upper Georgetown on Wisconsin Avenue. Tried it again, a few times, when they moved to Friendship Heights and, at that time, we found the prices too high for what we got. So, we stopped going. AND NOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Highly recommend SUSHIKO to all who know the value of fresh, VERY FRESH sushi! Yes, it is pricey. However, never has the old adage, "you get what you pay for" rung so true as it does at now at SUSHIKO. Along with what is the freshest tasting sushi EVER, the portions are incredibly generous. On our last visit, my husband and i shared a Bento Box along with an order of their different and fabulous PORK RIBS. Not one hunger pain remained for either of us. Not only is the food fresh and beyond delicious, the wait staff are attentive, responsive and polite. Honestly, neither my husband nor I can think of one negative when it comes to SUSHIKO. My daughter was visiting from the San Francisco area and we took her to dinner at SUSHIKO. She can't wait to get back there. It will probably become a condition of her visits with us. Oh, for all of your friends or family members who won't eat SUSHI, there are wonderful menu items available such as Wagyu beef, Pork ribs, and lots more. Bottom line? We recommend SUSHIKO WITHOUT RESERVATION! However, it's best to make one. One more thing, hats off to Manager Chef Peter does a remarkable job. Thanks Peter! SHUSHIKO wouldn't be the same without you! read more

This place is great for groups and even families. A couple of us came here for lunch, and even though they were somewhat busy, there was very little wait at all. There are so many options on their menu, and I was not 100% sure about what I wanted, so I went for the combo sushi meal. I can't remember the formal name of the platter, but it included their top sushi selections. A couple of my friends ordered the California sushi rolls which wasn't as much as my platter. It was honestly enough sushi for three people! To drink I ordered three rounds of Italian mineral water, and I'm glad that they had that. This sushi place should be more popular than what it is, because the atmosphere and the service are top notch. I'm sure we will all venture here again for an awesome and un- forgettable lunch. read more

OMAKASE REVIEW! Omakase is back after a 5 year hiatus! The food was so delicious, with meticulous care and many luxury ingredients. It was a pleasure to witness the chef work. Peter called me earlier in the day to discuss my gluten issues and the chef made sure to use tamari for my courses. I made a reservation for my husbands birthday and he was warmly celebrated with a special cake & candle after the Japanese Melon dessert. We were also greeted by name, and Peter provided an excellent, almost savory dry sake recommendation. An amazing value and a perfect experience! read more

We love Sushiko and are so happy it's reopened. Tonight we started with the hamachi crudo, so gorgeous, and the Brussels sprouts, which were both salty and sweet - delicious! The bento box is filled with gorgeous nigiri and sashimi, the sashimi was pristine, and the rolls were amazing. Service is always good, with generous pours of wine. It's casual but sophisticated at the same time. read more

I've gone to Sushiko a few times and over the years, I'm not sure if I've learned to appreciate them more as I got older, or if their service and food has gotten better. Either way, Sushiko right now is definitely my number one sushi spot in terms of quality alone (not price). The aesthetic is nice but not that memorable, the service is great, and they always seem to have something interesting going on with their specials. I love ordering their specials whenever I can because they put so much work into the presentation and quality of the food! Recently, I had these dumplings made from duck. Absolutely delicious! So far I haven't had anything there that didn't taste fresh and immaculate; hopefully it stays that way. Sushiko is VERY pricey but I think it's worth it to go every now and then for special occasions. If I could, I would go a lot more! read more

Always fresh, always reliable and always prepared quickly and on time. Our go to orders include the brussels sprouts, East West roll, Inari and the softshell crab. Excellent cocktail and sake option options as well. Nice outdoor space, cocktail lounge, and main dining room. It's wonderful when the owners come around and check in on the diners as well. read more

We LOVE Sushiko. The people, the food, the ambiance - all these things make us eager to visit again and again. The people who work there are lovely and always welcome us back. The food is fresh and delicious (the hamachi crudo is our favorite). The ambiance is relaxing. And it doesn't hurt that the happy hour has some good deals too! read more

Without breaking the bank, you still get high quality sushi here. The only complaint I have about the sushi, and it's really a small complaint, is the sushi comes out very cold, as if it just got pulled out of the fridge. Cooling the fish is necessary to firm up the meat but serving it as such is a little displeasing. Service is great and there's validated parking. This place gets very crowded so make sure you try to get reservations. read more

I am so glad Sushiko is back up and running. They were my favorite happy hour place pre-pandemic. While they don't seem to be running HH deals right now, the bar is open and they are still providing amazing takeout. Last night we ordered the bento box and the udon. The bento box is stuffed with fresh nigiri, sashimi, and your choice of roll. All the fish was super fresh. I love their seaweed salad and they give you a big portion. It also comes with miso soup. I love the packaging as well. There udon is delicious and I love that they package the noodles separately from broth so it doesn't get soggy. They come with two tempura shrimp and they add a little container of togarashi spice. It was super quick. Only took 20 minutes from order to pickup. I will happily get takeout from here soon. read more

Top quality sushi. It's a little pricy but definitely worth it. Service is great. A true neighborhood gem.

Great spot. Validates parking. Ordered off the Happy Hour menu that had very reasonable prices and allowed us to try out a lot different of things. Would love to come back. read more

Delicious sushi in Chevy Chase area. Much bigger place than it looks from the front window. After reviewing several YELP friends and reviews I was ready when I walked in. Salmon ceviche, Brussel sprouts and Wygu appetizer to start. Element roll, spicy tuna and double salmon rolls with the pannacota for dessert. Great meal and great recommendations- Thank you to my Yelp friends. read more

I enjoy the food at Sushi-ko for special moments but when my lunch guest list ballooned to 14 I did not know what to do. I went online and ordered 66 pieces of sushi to go for my guests. When I picked it up to bring it home everything was perfect...the presentation, the ginger on the side, and of course the flavors were spectacular. Peter made sure that everything was perfect. read more

The sushi was delicious, however my husband and I had a bad experience and willl not be returning. We were one of the first people in the restaurant and therefore had every server in the restaurant watching us the entire time. They started making fun of us and the way we held our chopsticks, giggling and pointing at us. This continued our entire meal, we had planned for a second round and another drink but we felt so uncomfortable that we left and went somewhere else. The attitudes and atmosphere ruined date night for us. We are locals but will not be back. read more

The best of many unspectacular sushi options in MoCo. Salmon avocado is usually fresh and California roll is made with real crab unlike most. Eel roll and yellow tail roll are also solid, and takeout service is extremely fast. Also usually have some fresh sashimi specials but does not live up to expectations given price. Have not dined in yet but atmosphere and staff seems friendly when I've gone in to pick up food. read more

For several years, I was deterred by reviews focusing on being overpriced. I also didn't realize, looking from outside, that the restaurant expanded into quite a sizable dining room indoors and didn't want to overpay for sushi takeout. I am sure COVID has impacted a lot here, but looking at very old reviews I can see why it has survived all these years. I was very pleasantly surprised with the extensive menu, admittedly at DC prices but nothing to a shocking degree. The ambiance was nice enough for a weekday dinner, and service was quite timely and friendly. It did somehow feel like the tempura batter lacked some salt, but nothing that the tempura sauce couldn't fix. Overall, a decent option in the neighborhood given the lack of immediate Asian options within the block. read more

Wonderful experience last night celebrating a birthday. We started with the warm spinach salad, edamame and the crispy Brussel sprouts - all very tasty but especially the crispy sprouts, those were a big hit with the entire table. We ordered several rolls of sushi, including the soft shelled crab, shrimp tempura, rainbow roll, sweet and spicy and my favorite with the tuna tartare. So good. All of it. Excellent. Our server and the hostess were friendly, warm and kind. Pam extended excellent customer service before we even arrived as I called with questions about my reservation. She made the birthday celebration extra special and seated us in a lovely booth. The restaurant itself is lovely. I will definitely be returning - before last night I didn't think I liked sushi. I was wrong. Kudos to sushiko for showing me how good fresh (melt in your mouth!) sushi can be. read more

Had dinner here with friends who recommended the place, but I was not at all impressed. The food was way over priced - $13-$19 for sushi rolls and the options were limited. And the Bento box was $31. There were no options for a large platter or "boat" that we could share. Friends thought that the menu had changed. It used to be a book instead of this very hard to read one pager. I had to borrow reading glasses. While the sushi we ordered was good we did not find enough options to make a meal and I left hungry. There's too many good sushi options around to warrant going back. read more

I stopped in for lunch -- the sushi was about the best I've had and the service was very attentive. It is a calm quiet dining room -- I had hoped to come back for dinner with a small group but there were no reservations available at the time we needed. Will return on future trips to Chevy Chase. read more

Exquisite settings, top-notch food quality, but will burn a hole in your pocket. Would recommend trying at least once read more

Great hidden gem in Chevy chase for sushi!! Came here for a friend's birthday dinner. I would've never found it. It's hidden behind Tiffany's store near the Safeway. There's a little lot in front of it that has two hour free with validation. That you can get from the restaurant. It is a little pricey but they had such fresh tasting sushi! They also have an affordable omakase that I unfortunately didn't get to try. But I def want to come back to try it! They have a range of prices for their rolls. Everything I tried was delicious, but a little small. I didn't leave full, but I was content. Best fresh sushi I've had in the Rockville area! I'm happy to know there's a good sushi place that isn't quite a trek into dc! read more

Update: Chef Henry & Peter, the original chefs of Sushiko has made an epic return and he's on fire!! I'm so excited to hear the omikase portion of Sushiko will be open soon. Totally worth the blizzard weather out here to hear the good news.. There is no secret that my favorite place to foodie out on sushi is still Sushiko. I love that the quality of the raw offerings are paralleled in focus with the cooked dishes as well. It's always neat to see surprises on the menu like the hot stone wagyu and they always seem to have a rare, fresh catch to excite us with. My recent favorite discovery is their diverse sake and wine list. As a DC native I've searched for years with the best of both worlds and have yet to find a better selection of junmai daijinjo. Not to mention picks on the wine list from Orin Swift... heaven. See my previous review for my favorite dishes. Tips: private lot behind giant - parking 2 hour free with validation. read more

Going to a new sushi restaurant is always like rolling the dice. Will I understand the menu? What's the difference between nigiri and sashimi? Will the fish be fresh or will I spend the night puking my guts out??? Luckily, Sushiko is top notch and a great place for sushi - no puking even entered my mind at all! We went there with a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The sushi was inventive, beautifully created, well formed, delicious and filling! The fish was fresh and tasted like sushi should - pure and luxurious. The supply and variety of toro was impressive. The accompaniments like jalapeno, cream cheese, avocado, etc. were simple additions to the star of the show - the fish! The accompaniments added to, and did NOT distract from, the beautifully prepared seafood. The delivery and presentation were outstanding - the plates were even completed with beautiful orchids to jazz up the sushi. I would say that the sushi was prepared and served flawlessly! The atmosphere was adequate. Not overly decorated and not overdone. The dining room was surprisingly small for a Washington DC area restaurant. All in all, the decor was good. The bathroom was modern, well designed and VERY clean (a good sign in ANY restaurant but IMHO especially important in a sushi restaurant). The service was very good. Our server was Jason and he delivered some of the finest service ever. He was knowledgeable about the menu and the fish being presented. He was patient - we had many questions and he never hesitated to answer or seemed like he wanted to move on to other tables. Very well spoken. He certainly added to the dining experience very nicely. I can recommend Sushiko whole heartedly and without reservation (and certainly without puking)!!! The food is great at Sushiko!!! read more

This went downhill since I discovered it a couple of years ago. Every time it is worse than the one before. The time before the last I thought I wouldn't come again, but came again and it was worse. The taste and qualitynis just not there. It is not bad, just very mediocre, not worth the money. read more

This place is as good as you let it be. Get the specials, Omakase, and whatever the chefs recommend. Summer special Chirashi was the best I have ever had outside of Japan and better than most there. read more

I love Sushiko and go almost every time I work at my part-time job, which is located in the same building. At first I would always get the shrimp tempura roll, and now I am locked in on the tempura udon. It is so perfect and delicious. The food feels very high quality, and is certainly not cheap. It is definitely worth a try to any sushi/Japanese food lovers. read more

Really lovely experience. Service was good and good was so darn tasty. The decor is simple, serine, and pretty. Lots of flowers, great pillows in bar lounge, rock structures and dim lighting. Felt sexy and relaxing at the same time. Allasa our server was super attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and personable. Now onto the food! Brussel sprouts- literally the best I have ever had. Flashbfried to perfection and tossed in a sweet spicy soy glaze. Ahhhhhh!!!!! #besteva Chicken gyoza-nicely flavored, no filler all chicken and veggies, nice pan fry. Spicy tuna roll and Shrimp tempura- both super fresh, rolled tight, nice presentation. Eggplant- lightly breaded and seasoned. Served in a broth. The long it stays in the bowl the breadcrumbs come off and you end up with a crumby soup. Sounds weird, was weird, but I drank it all. Haha. Lobster and scallops- nicely flavored, the green on the side really pulled the dish together. But we only got one tail and one scallop cut up. Come on, lay it on for that price, can we at least get two scallops. #imworthit Sundae-light, sweet and different. Vanilla ice cram, sea salt, milk curds. Served with almond cookies and a Raspberry and lemon sauce. Ginger champagne- really tasty Just go try it out. You won't be disappointed. read more
