Well, after reading this follow-up post to the above mentioned review of Sushi Chalet, I dragged my fiance there.

A bit of Japanese & Sushi mixed with Korean.  It was great.  We each definitely ate $14.95 worth and more.

Looks like we're going to go again this weekend.

As for the directions, I had to call and figure out where exactly the Festival Shopping Center was -- Take 270 to exit 9B (Sam Eig Highway) to Diamondback Road. Go down to the second traffic light and make a right.

It is in the Festival Shopping Center on Muddy Branch Road. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct route to it, although you pass by it on 270. (It's just before NIST)  Although this may seem convoluted, it's the most direct from points south of Gaithersburg:

From I270N take the Sam Eig HW Exit (I can't recall the #) Bear right and follow the road straight thru the first light. Take a right at the second. (That should be Diamondback Rd.) Take another right onto Muddy Branch Rd and Festival is about 3/4 mi on the right.

[to get back onto 270S, take a right out of Festival and a left onto Diamond Ave.  270 is about 1/2 mi on the left.]

It's worth the trip!
