I have been in Akira Sushi Bistro several times and I’ve never had a bad experience – fish is always very fresh. The presentation is simple and minimalist, but special rolls are fun and portions are good size, all what I want. It’s located at 20035 Ashbrook Commons Plaza, Ste 176 in Ashburn, VA, tel.: (703) 723-6799.
Prices are very reasonable, great service and I will go back again; it’s my #1 choice for sushi in this area.

We have been going to this sushi restaurant for many years and it’s always is the best quality fish and very unique sushi. It’s located at 1143 First Ave. (between 62nd St. and 63rd St.), Tel.: 212-371-0238.
The sushi chef/owner of Seki, used to work at the famous Sushi of Gari and was trained under the sushi master – Gari Masatoshi.
We had order few times by menu and we have tried also Omakase. It’s can be very expensive, but if you love good quality sushi, you would not be disappointed.
Lately we have order several times take out and sushi quality is the same: unique pieces and very fresh fish.

Sugiyama is the place, if you want to try superb quality Japanese food including sushi & sashimi. It’s located at 251 W 55th St. (between Broadway & 8th Ave)
New York, Tel.: (212) 956-0670 and open Tuesday through Saturday, 5:30 – 11:45pm. We have been 4 times over past few years and I’m looking forward for chance to go back again.
Usually we order 8 Course Modern Kaiseki ($128) and it’s one of the best, tastiest, unusual and most enjoyable meals. One of my favorite is a little fried crab that can be all eaten. The top dish is kobe beef (Kaiseki with Wagyu, $192) cooked on the hot red stones. You can get a seat at the counter and talk with the owner chef, Mr. Sugiyama, fantastic experience; real iron chef!
This is pricey but worth all of it!

There are so many cool restaurants in Hawaii and we were trying every night new one and at end I came up with list of my favorites.
Our best Japanese were:
Sushi Bar in the Aupaka Terrace at Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club. Sushi chef had really fun for my request of all kind spice and funky rolls. This was my very favorite sushi place in Hawaii, which is open five nights a week.
Musashi at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa in Honolulu, Hawaii and address is 2424 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, Tel.: (808) 237-6148. We sat by bar and sushi chef was cutting the best quality sushi and sashimi for us. It was very fresh and tasty fish, but did not have any fancy varieties and that what I really enjoy. Place by itself has very nice decor, make it’s feel like in real Japanese restaurant.
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar , which is one of DK Restaurants. This was my kind place, lot of different fancy appetizers, sushi and we were very full after leaving this restaurant. Only this place did not have any decorations. This sushi is located at 2552 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu and tel.: (808) 931-6286

It’s located at 245 Park Ave S. (Between 19th Street and 20th Street) in New York City. Tel.: 212-475-9377
This Sushi Samba Park is an assortment place of snacking delights from Japan, Brazil and Peru with DJ Sabo on Friday Nights.
We went to this restaurant second time and had lunch on weekend and I just love this fusion restaurant. The food was great and I got them quite quickly. The ceviche was excellent and my mojito was strong and yummy. This restaurant is mixing South American elements and ingredients with Japanese cuisine and it taste very good. The result is a spicy, natural mix of two cultures that have perfected the art of raw seafood. There was something on the menu for everyone, including great steak, seafood and vegetarian options. The atmosphere is relaxed but the food is fine-dining quality. Best people watching around. Check it out and better make sure to have reservations.
