>>What other great sushi places are in DC or the northern suburbs?
Ok, here's a direction to a great sushi bar closest to the DC area.
Take the Capital Beltway, and take an exit to Dulles International Airport.
Drive all the way down to the airport. Park your car at the satellite parking. Take a shuttle to the airport. Take any flight available to Tokyo/Narita International Airport. From Narita Airport, take the Narita Express Train to Shinjuku station, where you change trains to Odakyu Line. About twenty minutes' ride on Odakyu will take you to Umega-oka station, where you get off. The place called "Midori-zushi" is only thirty seconds' walk from the station. (Oh! What a nice location!) During the dinner time, however, be prepared to wait in the line for one hour or so. You might want to get there for lunch, but depending on the delay of your flight, that may not be always easy. Oh, it should be also mentioned that it's closed on Mondays, as I recall it. So, be careful about the time difference.
Moral: Don't leave home without a passport.
For the humor impaired: Sorry. After trying several places around here, I couldn't come up with anything closer.

Sushi in DC or Northern suburbs?
Others said: # >>What other great sushi places are in DC or the northern suburbs? I missed the beginning of this, but my sushi-loving friends LOVE Tachibana at 4050 Lee Highway..... By love, they'll be in Rockville and make some excuse to go to Arlington just cuz it's dinner time....
I reccommend "Lotte Supermarket" for Sushi. In the back, there is a sushi-bar called "Ninja Express." The fish is very fresh and the prices are reasonable. The portions are generous as well. Check it out. BTW: The prep of the sushi isn't as fancy as other some other sushi-bars as it is a somewhat of a fast food type of bar.
