DanielK Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Need to book a business dinner within reasonable driving distance of Dulles for Monday night. The group has requested sushi - anything decent out this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibbee Nayee Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yep. One of the best in northern Virginia is Mikaku Sushi Taro in McLearan Square. The exact address is 3065 Centreville Rd, Herndon, VA 20171 for your GPS. I eat here often -- it is distantly related to Sushi Taro downtown, and has received great reviews. In fact, if you had asked "what's the best restaurant of any kind in the Dulles area" I would have mentioned Mikaku Sushi Taro in my top three, at least.

I'll second that--it's a haul for us but definitely a good step up from everything else in the area. If memory serves, they have a tatami room that might be reservable for your group. Don't overlook the one page specials sheet. The ika "noodles" are a favorite of mine, but I'm sure it's a texture thing that doesn't work for some people.

Kibbee Nayee Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I will add one more -- PassionFish. Some of the best sushi in that part of the world, not to mention the wider seafood menu. Something for everyone, but I find myself tucking into the sushi menu exclusively on more visits these days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Although it has been 4 years since I have eaten there, I'll 3rd the recommendation for Mikaku Sushi Taro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I need a backup - Mikaku isn't open on Mondays!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I need a backup - Mikaku isn't open on Mondays!! I haven't been to Hooked in awhile now (going on two years), but I've always liked it, and they had good, fresh fish - either done raw or as sushi. I don't remember the quality of their sushi rice; I merely remember walking out happy the 2-3 times I've been although it wasn't cheap. This is where I'd roll the dice on, with the caveat that I'm not as current as I should be. Here's their menu. I've been to Matsutake (the mushrooms are in full swing, btw) in Worldgate once and enjoyed it well enough - it might serve in you in a pinch, but I'd still go to Passion Fish first. Cheers, Rocks.

DanielK Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 PassionFish seems to be outside the budget for this dinner. Hooked looks interesting, though a bit far afield from the hotel (we're at Centerville Rd & the Toll Road). Has anyone been to Kumo Sushi?

tatsuyachiba Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Mikaku is also Japanese-owned. Sushi chefs are also Japanese. I can't think of another restaurant this far out that's similar in this respect - most of the rest are closer in to DC e.g. Blue Ocean, Sushi Yoshi, Tachibana etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 I forgot to report back. We went to Kumo sushi, and it was good. My colleagues were in to rolls rather than regular sushi, and I managed to stay away from the crazy ones. But the service was excellent, and fish was fresh, so it worked out just fine. I've since been to the new Nippon on Elden St. for their lunch buffet, which was very good, especially considering the $9.95 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
