Sushi-Ko apparently gets fresh fish almost everyday, however I must have gone of the day that they did not have fresh fish. Sushi-Ko is ranked pretty high for sushi lovers in Maryland.. but I think otherwise. Besides from it being plated nicely there wasn't much going for this place. The sushi I received did not seem fresh at all and even the rice seemed a bit dry. The two big O's are that the food was old and over priced.
My favorite sushi is the Salmon Roe aka Ikura - $6 for two I believe. The Ikura wasn't even that fresh and the worst part was that the sea weed warp was getting soggy.. Which meant it was sitting out for awhile.. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time too..
Second on the dish was Yellow Tail aka hamachi nigiri - $6 for two.
2nd dish came with the special Fatty Tuna that day which is maguro and Uni.
Uni is sea urchin and I have yet to find a place that has good tasting Uni.. that or I just don't like the taste.. Pretty sure the Uni I got was not fresh.
Last dish of our meal was a sashimi dish that ranged from $17-$25.
Mixed with Red Snapper, Salmon, Yellow tail and Sea weed.. This dish was not worth it as fresh fish should not smell like fish.. good sushi taste wonderful, sometimes sweet.. not a pungent odor of decaying fish.

All in all I wasn't so pleased with this place and I have no idea how it even made it to the top 10 sushi places in Maryland. Besides from the mediocre sushi, the decor in the up stairs dining room was also not that great. I really do not recommend this place and would not return.
hey! sorry you had such a bad experience, Trust me its known for having some of the freshest sushi. I wonder why they had such a bad day. Its know for having the first sushi bar in DC. what time during the day did u go? I need to show you how it really is on a good day,they have some amazing food.
ReplyDeleteTips when going their, They have coupons on Goupons.com, so that can save you a bit of money. P.S. Anytime the food isnt like you thought or seems old... tell them bc they will fix it for you...
