I ordered take out and while waiting was told to take a seat at the bar. After five minutes of sitting at the bar upper management came over and brought over two people said they needed the seat despite the entire restaurant being empty and said our food would be out shortly. They were not kind about removing me from my seat. This was after I had already paid for all of my food and was about to order a drink at the bar before being interrupted. Furthermore, when my food arrived, my cucumber rolls came already falling apart.

My friend and I went in to get our takeout . One of the servers told us to have a seat because the order wasn’t ready. All the tables by the bar were reserved so she told us to seat at the bar. Soon after that, the manager started to talk to a customer, loud enough for us to hear, saying that we were there for a take out and we should not seat. The manager came behind us , with a rude attitude and literally told us to leave the seat. The server who told us to seat there , didn’t say a word or apologize. In summary, the management and server are extremely rude, unprofessional and discriminatory ( i was wearing a tshirt from my country). I’ve ordered tuna sashimi and got white fish, asked for a cucumber roll and it was falling apart. We spent about $50 each. The place is cute but the food and service were extremely disappointing.

This used to be a relatively high end experience, with great presentation, service etc. It has chan ged a lot since i last went before the pandemic into a very busy average kind of place. The host was unpleasant and intrusive. The waiter seemed to have way more tables than he could handle. and the food, which had been beautifully presented, is now pretty standard.

A beautiful restaurant boasting an amazing and attentive staff, Sushiko provides an excellent culinary experience with high quality sushi especially of note the fresh wasabi which I highly recommend to those with a proper taste for it as it elevates each and every dish. The Hamachi crudo while a small dish, was so flavorful and well put together I had to order it a second time. The grapefruit added acidic components to the dish while also attributing to the texture while the ponzu sauce provided A wonderful savory palette.

The food was underwhelming, no spice or kick to it. Just for the lack of a better word, bland sushi. The service was fast and great, and the atmosphere was amazing.

we have always had a very good experience at Sushiko: food, atmosphere, staff. Unfortunately yesterday we felt we were served too fast and felt the pressure to leave the table as staff was ready to go. We understand it was a late reservation (845pm) on a Saturday, but if offered by the restaurant, the restaurant should expect that customers take their time to have dinner, particularly in an expensive place (we dif order a bottle of wine that we could not finish). Lesson learned as a customer: avoiding reservation after 8pm.

Great food, great service. The only thing is that they are rushing you to order and they close the restaurant early after lunch and you have to eat fast. Next time I will go at night and see if I can eat calmly

The place was beautiful for a start! First time trying sushi especially presented so beautifully. The hostes were more than helpful throughout the entire time and checked in on us constantly! It’s a place I will bring back friends and family.
Sushiko is a good addition to Chevy Chase restaurants. The sushi, well prepared -I didn't think that their home sake, which was unfiltered was really any good. They should replace it with filtered sake. In my opinion their other Sakes are too pricey. I had a very nice waiter. She was very helpful and the usual problem in Washington these days their kitchen closes at 9 o'clock, we were served the check because it was time to get out. I sympathize with you know people wanting to make it an early night but no kitchen should close before 10 PM if you asked me especially on weekends but that's an opinion -seaweed salad had mesclun at the bottom-overall a nice place.

Among the top sushi places in DC area almost as fresh as Nakazawa and Taro. Also got seaweed wish was fresh and tasty too. Soft shell crab was average for the price would bot get again but could eat sashimi omakase often.

Sushiko is a fine dining restaurant that hits its mark every time. It serves high quality fish and seafood, prepared creatively, and beautifully presented. The service is excellent, attentive and personal.

As always, the food, drinks and service were top rate, a pleasure. The restaurant was quieter than we'd ever experienced which raised the level of enjoyment greatly. So pleased!

This is definitely not authentic Japanese food. There are lots of options for Asian fusion lovers, but I was hoping for the "old pre covid" Sushi ko that was more authentic and focused on sushi and sashimi. The service was excellent, the noise level high, the ambiance not great and the wines were pretty awful (we tried three of them). The dining room was full and bustling so there are many fans of sushi ko but if you want authentic Japanese food in a calming environment, this is not it.
